Sideways
05:20

Slip by So fast Upon the Wind
And though You're in my dreams well I have been there times before
Out on the journey we don't know
Rolling 'long the corridors
Reflecting Our lost Souls
Out on the Valley looking down
Past and future calling out
On this journey I have found
New Friends and loves that will remain
Empty out my pockets
Ripped up memories in the wind
Feel I'm going sideways
Feel I'm going to fast
All the sky could rain on me
And I'd still be in a daydream
Feel I'm going Sideways
Well I,
I was singing rainbows
When all the clouds slipped away
There was a time when blue skies were all that I could see
But blue skies are only daydreams
Ones I can't afford to buy
And life is much too precious to drift away
Feel I'm going Sideways
Feel I'm going too fast
Feel I'm going Sideways
Feel I'm going too Fast
Too Fast.

Hello Rain

Hello Rain
Keep me Grounded
Keep me cool
Keep me reminded
That there is no life without the rain
So I embrace the rain
When my smile
Gets too overborne
That's when my worries kick in cos
I know it'll soon be gone
And there is no life without the rain
So I embrace the rain
Well life is like the weather
Changing Everyday
Clouds may pass above us
Sometimes in our hearts
But when in rains, when it rains
Those days
Fill me with love
Cos although the sky
might be blues within my heart
Well there is no life without the rain
So I embrace the rain

Better Ways to Fall
02:52
|
|||
|
Make no mistakes
There is no right or wrong way to go
And subsequently no mistakes, only better ways to fall
Painting up a picture of myself
Painting up a picture of myself
Painting up a picture of myself in the sand
Let it wash away in the tide
Relocated, distabalised
Running restless just to keep you from my mind,
Maybe I'm a fool, to walk away from you
But I'll walk and maybe I'll fly
At least it's something new to to try
Oh baby I love you
I love you,
I love you but I'm better off without you

Going Nowhere
03:35
|
|||
|
Going Nowhere, stuck I'm steady as the river comes around
Will It ever come around
Searching for a safe place, looking to keep your feet dry
but nowhere can be found
Is it ever to be found
The softest kiss goodbye
Fell from your eyes like the sun changing in the sky
I try to rise above
But I was held down by the waves changing in the tide
Sweet departed, Burnt out memories that I never mind
Never paying any mind
Broken hearted, searching on this world for true love that I never find
Love is only on the inside
When all your words have gone
And none of the air that you breathe could even make a sigh
I try to rise above
But I was held down by the waves changing in the tide
Did I try to rise,
Or did I just turn around ?
Is it all one and the same?
Will it ever come around?
Everything must change
But free will is just a daydream that you never found
Is it ever to be found
The softest kiss goodbye
Fell from your eyes like the sun changing in the sky
I try to rise above
But I'm going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere

Sleep
04:02
|
|||
|
Sleep,
Makes you follow your dreams
In a blind daze
My dreams steer the back of my mind
Stir me around in coffee,
Shock me, wake me, Squeeze me softly
My Bed
Takes a while to get to know me
To remember
My Dreams
Time to pack up again
Time to pack up again
All the bits of myself that help me descend
All the bits of myself that in this descend
Good or bad
Existence doesn't exist now
In this descent
Were all going through something
Far to complex from judging
And the judge
Turned on their head
Still missing
Missing what was there
Time to pack up again
Time to pack up again
All the misinformation squeezing round in my head
To not be afraid to pack up again
And to dream

Cuckoo
03:25
|
|||
|
This time, this time I made the move
Leaving I need nothing more, nothing more to lose
I don't know if I'll be better whatever I choose
Leaving,
Well, there's allways more to lose
Cuckoo fly over
Summer bring on the sweetwords
Make me feel bitter
Make me feel beautiful
As we go our own way
We must surrender
The sweet taste of summer
Mixed with the bitter
Why do you feel you can take me away
Leaving me with nothing more, nothing more to say
I don't want just to waste away
But I can't forget or move out of the way
Cuckoo Fly over
Summer bring on the sweet words
That make me feel bitter
Make me feel beautiful
As we go our own way well
We must surrender
The sweet taste of summer
Mixed with the bitter
Old loves, fantasies and dreams that we never leave behind
Seems no matter where I go you'll allways be on my mind
This is not the way to go
Drawing lines on faded roads
Painting pictures of long ago
Life is never what you think you know

Lucita
04:08
|
|||
|
Ah Lucita puts her hair up in a bobble
And when she lets it down I know that I'm in trouble
I know that I'm in trouble as nothing lasts forever
And the finest tune is swinging whenever we're together
She's a fire woman torching up my heart into little tiny cinders
She's a fire women and I want to sizzle and burn
Lord only knows where I'll be when I die
But right now I can only hope
While we're alive we'll be together

All that you make of me if all that I am
There is nothing left
Just what you take with you
So think of me kindly
When I am gone
When I am gone
Heaven and hell are part of our everyday
Make up your own mind what you think of me what you think of life
I'll be drinking Champagne in heaven
Mahbah will have her sweettreats and her cheeky smiles
And I'll take you dancing
Every newyears
Somethings are lost and everything changes
But I'll pass some of it on
And I'll be looking fine
And I'll learn to write thank you letters
And we'll be drinking champagne in heaven
No use in doing anything unless you do it right
No time for children
What would you say?
When I was 19 some of that changed
We'd sit and we'd cry over stories of you father
Upset you didn't know him well,
You never spent the time
Families and loved ones are everything in my mind
Do it right, do it right
Well there's no use in doing anything unless you do it right
Well, I'll be drinking champagne in heaven tonight.

Sparkly Eyes
03:30
|
|||
|
Sparkly eyes, looking at me again
Don't get lost in those eyes, those
Drawing me in, getting me drunk again, getting drunk on those eyes, those eyes
Well breath and sigh on a magic night
Where hearts collide
There's a spark of danger in those eyes, those eyes
Burned out brought in best put out the fire
Too much whisky in the night, oh what a night
In trouble again
Looks like you'll have to walk me home
Guess I got lost in those eyes, those eyes
Cause I'm a afool
Fool for a fire
Getting bruned by those eyes, those eyes.

Natalie
04:03
|

|
Natalie,
With her head in the clouds trying to survive,
With her world torn apart looking for a way,
For a reason...
Natalie screaming
At the top of her lungs
Smashing her soul
Taking it out on the concrete
Surrounded by questions
By her little girl gone
Who wanted to follow by she fell down.
They were free spirits locked up and lost
In empty spaces
Natalie,
When you left we were naked blowing bubbles in the bath
Little kids figuring out what it means to love
Looking for a way
For a reason...
Oh you're incensed and insane
Choking young souls
Blissfully Blind
Taking it out on the innocent
Surrounded by questions
By a little girl gone
Who Wanted to follow but she fell down.
Well eyes
Bleed for the fools
Blind
To the ripples in the waves
How sad it makes me that I only see you's in the end
Oh, Natalie
How I loved the soul of you daughter I cannot explain
I was caught up in life looking for a way,
For a reason,
I fall apart:
What is love?
What is life?
What remains?
Natalie
Natalie...

Red Ribbon

Once I was to marry a girl born from overseas
She had fled her homeland when she was 16
A girl with her eyes open, given her freedom in youth
But upon entering her beauty, her freedom was removed
All that is given can be taken
All that is yours can be stripped away
All that is given can be taken
All that is yours can be stripped away
God blessed you if you are a man
And you walk straight as a line
One size does not fit all
Yet there only is one size
For those that don't believe in god
Or one truth just as fine
I take away your soul from thee
And I turn you from my eyes
Turn my blood, turn myself away
Turn My Blood, Turn Myself away
Till a woman means nothing, Just a slave in her own home
Blamed for her misfortune, The way that she was born
All that is given can be taken
All that is yours can be stripped away
All that is given can be taken
All that is yours can be stripped away

Take Yourself Out
03:46
|
|

|
Papers, papers
Endless papers waiting to be filed
Take a lighter to the taxes, save us from these times
Endless numbing
Daytimes, need to sink and breath
Process all these endless cycles, keep us underneath
Numbers to nothing
We are a footprint
Gone in an instant
Distant and hollow
No time the masses
Cheap and distracted
Bought out with knowledge that means almost nothing
Money makes money
And nothing will ever come of you
Leave the crows to pick apart the world that you knew
Enless idles
Waiting, hidden underneath
New religion in the information we receive
Full in intention
Sliding down sidewalks
Sliding beneath you and all your perceptions
Knowledge is fluid
So pick up your paces
Caught in the Shallows and the tides they are rising
Take yourself out
There's nothing here for you
You've nothing Anyway
So what you got to lose
Take yourself out
There's nothing here for you
You've nothing anyway
So what you got to lose

Over the Rainbow
03:40

Over the rainbow is a place that I've seen
And it's not far away
It's here when you kiss me,
When you give me your eyes
Without thought or delay
This life in truth holds no joy told in words
That can't be explain in your eyes
But words help to shape us,
Taking us out of our lives
Rainbows and daydreams
Drunk in the air
Under our skin
In love that we share
Over the Rainbow is a place that I've seen
An it's not far away
Starlight and wishes, wistfull romances
Lost in a dream once again
Never to see you,
Or to feel you beside me
Rolling all alone until the end
Pretty lies tell me
Keep closed your tongue
Leading me blindly
Already undone
Over the Rainbow is a place that I've seen
And it's not far away
Blessed are blue skies
Hard in the cold
May you feel love
Wherever you go
Over the Rainbow is a place that I've seen
And it's not far away
