Until I Fall Away
What did you say? I heard it all wrong
I don’t know what you want from me
All of the stars couldn’t have seen
I don’t know what you want me to be
I’ve heard it before, that I should take advice from you
Until I fall away, until I fall away
Is your heart in the way of what your head wants to say
I don’t know what you want from me
I’ve heard it before, that I should take advice from you
Until I fall away, until I fall away
What did you say? I heard it all wrong
I don’t know what you want from me
I don’t know what you want from me

Out of Tune
I’m never done being wrong
All I see ahead is blinding me
Insecure and hoping you’re
Going to find a better way to be
But all that’s different from today
And the things that stay the same
But I can’t find the words to state what you’d assume
We’re out of tune
Reasoning and opting in
For all I know there could be nothing wrong
You’ve got to hide how you feel inside
The time to let it go has come and gone
But all that’s different from today
And the things that stay the same
But I can’t find the words to state what you’d assume
We’re out of tune
It makes you worried
I make you worry
But I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine

Feeling Never Goes Away
What’s the point in finding myself when you already know me more
It takes a lot of time to survive what I know you’ve been pushing for
But I’m alive today
I’m alive today
I hope this feeling never goes away
I could hide for hours, I could wait, but I already know the end
It takes a lot of stress to accept that you weren’t really there my friend
But I’m alive today
I’m alive today
I hope this feeling never goes away
I hope this feeling never goes away
I hope this feeling never goes away
I hope this feeling stays

Too Much To Say
I will feel ok when I get home
Maybe hold a thought,
I should show I’ve grown
But I don’t wait or care
I’ve got too much to say so I’ll let it out
But it feels so much better this way
It feels so much better this way
Taking three steps back to move on again
Never showing tact,
I am far from blame
But I can’t lie or fake
I’ve got too much to say so I’ll let it out
And it feels so much better this way
It feels so much better this way

Slow Down

Slow Down
Years ago would I have really minded?
I would know, I wouldn’t be in doubt
Now I find I’m questioning my feelings
What it mine? Now I’m finding out
But I really think like that these days
I don’t feel like talking back these days
When I’m around you
Now slow down, say what you’re feeling
Now slow down, say what you’re feeling
I don’t know if I’m keeping up with you
Falling down, I’m worn out over thinking
I have found it’s better left unsaid
Now I find I’m facing new directions
And the time’s to follow where I’m led
I don’t really think like that these days
I don’t feel like talking back these days
When I’m around you
Now slow down, say what you’re feeling
Now slow down, say what you’re feeling
I don’t know if I’m keeping up with you
But I don’t really think like that these days

Obvious

Obvious
If you want to stay or go I don’t really mind
If you can’t decide today if you’ll be fine
But if your heart was aching, I wouldn’t miss a thing
‘Cause you are in the grooves of the records that I spin
If I was a song I’d be too obvious
Like starting with a riff, ending in a double chorus
But if my heart was breaking, would you feel a thing?
Like the notes of songs I know I can’t really sing
If you want to go or stay I don’t really mind
If you can’t decide today if you’ll be fine
But if your heart was breaking, you would hold the key
And you would realise it’s you and it is me

Style
So wake up and start again
if you know I need you
So what if and when again
If you want I need to
Maybe the time is now, once in a while
take up the chance and see
Change your style
So face and start your brain,
if you know it’s in there
I won’t laugh and cry again
If you want I’ll be there
Maybe the time is now, once in a while
take up the chance and see
Change your style
Why do you never finish what you start
Why waste your time instead of following your heart
So wake up and start again
if you know I need you
So what if and when again
If you want I need to

Red Kite

Red kite
When you’re around you just take over
My feet don’t touch the ground
As the daylight hours get shorter
And all my friends are outward bound
Up here the dark night
Up here the river keeps on flowing
Up with the red kite
As long as the wind still keeps on blowing
You take the bus you always get
2 steps up before you’re back in the slow lane
The driver yells out a steam train’s coming
As you fall asleep against the window pane
Up here the dark night
Up here the river keeps on flowing
Up with the red kite
As long as the wind still keeps on blowing
You find yourself looking back with the same old pity
The distant lights and now the curtain fights
The purple darkness messes the stars up above you
Where saints once walked you were read your rights

Only For Yourself
03:18
|

Only For Yourself
Take a walk to clear your head
From hearing over what you said
Time would make you justify
And if only for yourself you question why
People tell you what to do
They have no right to bother you
And the take exception when you sigh
And if only for yourself you question why
And so you try to find a place to hide
And if only for yourself you question why
Going nowhere on your own
Never notice where you’re going
Expectations are too high
And if only for yourself you question why
And if only for yourself you question why

It's Still Raining

It’s Still Raining
When it comes around I’ll be there
Without making sound, I’d be fair
If I had a choice I’d run away
I’d unhear your voice, I’d make it fade
And even when the clouds have passed
It’s still raining here
And when the sun appears at last
It’s still raining here
Should I help you out and spend my time
Wondering all about what’s in your mind
If I had a choice I’d run away
I’d unhear your voice, I’d make it fade
And even when the clouds have passed
It’s still raining here
And when the sun appears at last
It’s still raining here
I can see it clearly now the mess has gone
We can go further
We can go further
It’s still raining here

I Wish I Knew
It’s getting hard to hear you and the things I thought you said
I knew that in my heart nothing was going right
Hoping not to notice even though you’d had a few
You knew that no one in your way would put up a fight
And didn’t you have the chance to blow it in a hundred different ways
If you were with me now I never knew
It wouldn’t have lasted long
It never could
If you thought that I was counting on the space
In the messages of love you sent to me
Looking for a way to show it and the strength to follow through
On the things I promised to deliver to you
But didn’t I have the chance to show it in a hundred different ways
If you were with me now I never knew
It wouldn’t have lasted long
It never could
How’d you get to be mis-understood
Singing a different song
I wish I knew

Annabelle
In line, changing hands
It all makes sense to me, Annabelle
Delayed, altered plans
It’s no surprise to me, Annabelle
I thought that you were waiting
You knew you couldn’t tell
Where did you go to Annabelle
Regrets, I don’t have
But memories fade with age, Annabelle
It goes yet some remain
Some parts I can’t find, Annabelle
I thought that you were waiting
You knew you couldn’t tell
Where did you go to Annabelle
I thought that you were waiting
You knew you couldn’t tell
Where did you go to Annabelle
I thought (that you were waiting)

Hold On

Hold On
I take my time to get there
I know now
I’m always thinking too slow
I don’t make lists to tick off
I don’t plan
I’m never sure which way to go
But it’s a long way round to hold on for love
It’s a long way round to hold on
And when it’s done we’ll start again
Would you like to guide me
to show how
your way of thinking would go
but is it best to worry
or be there
I’m not to sure that I care
But it’s a long way round to hold on for love
It’s a long way round to hold on
And when it’s done we’ll start again

Can't Help It

|

Can’t Help It
Sometimes you get so down
but you never tell me
And sometimes when I’m around
It’s as if you’re trying not to see me
And you know this feeling’s not the one you really want
You say that it’s not your fault
Cause you can’t help it
I don’t mind your stories
Just try and keep them simple
I don’t care if you’ve got spots on your face
Or hair growing from your nipples
And you know this feeling’s not the one you really want
You say that it’s not your fault
Cause you can’t help it
It’s much too late you’re out of time
you’ve gone too far
A little hate may wear you out before you start
And you know this feeling’s not the one you really want
You say that it’s not your fault
Cause you can’t help it

Good Vibes
I've been getting those good vibrations
Good vibrations now that you're gone
Good vibrations those sounds from my heart
Flowing through my veins
For all my mild elations this surely is the one
And though I talk a lot I know I can't be wrong
For all my weeks frustrations I've been so undone
You know I'll stand my ground even if I've none
I've been getting those good vibrations
Good vibrations now that you're gone
Good vibrations those sounds from my heart
Flowing through my veins
You say my concentration is bound to let me down
I say that's not the reason it's living in this town
I'm going to make some alterations I'm getting out tomorrow
Then I look into your eyes they seem to show no sorrow
Good vibrations good vibrations(this surely is the one)
Good vibrations good vibrations(I know I can't be wrong)
Good vibrations good vibrations(I'm getting out tomorrow)
Good vibrations good vibrations(They seem to show no sorrow)

Choose
I don’t have that much to find
I don’t know why
Leave a lot to chance using borrowed time
Return it when you can
Will you choose
Hanging on to find your way
Taking hold of the things
We talk about
I’m giving you time to talk so please use your mouth
To show your worth
Will you choose
Hanging on to find your way
I don’t to want what I can’t prepare
I don’t want to be blind
I don’t need what I cannot share
what you know you’ll never find

Breakdown
Don’t want to wait
Don’t want to sit down all day
But when it’s fate
I’m not in any hurry
I have a choice just like you have no money
When I’m away you think I’m acting funny
It’s like a breakdown for you
Just wait for the call but I don’t know how to fix it all
Breakdown for you
And will it go
What did I say to make you turn round on me?
I’ll take it back – just tell you that I’m sorry
Make up the truth like it is just a story
Though I’m no use – your words that flow straight through me
It’s like a breakdown for you
Just wait for the call but I don’t know how to fix it all
Breakdown for you
And will it go

Come Home

Come Home
You told me not to think aloud, look after myself and try to be home soon
Take a leaf out of your book, taking my time and lie if I had to
Come home, come home
Testing what you could recall, finding your feet, never in doubt of
Failing at the things you love, forever in fear of facing the climb down
Come home, come home
Where are you to go after this? Trying to move on
Where are you to go after this? Trying to move on
Come home, come home

Figure It Out

Figure it out
Billy was a loser who needed money, never got what he deserved
Tried to sell his soul on ebay but the devil wouldn’t meet the reserve
Stumbles home at night after 15 whiskeys and chips with his doner pizza
Drops half the food in the gutter for the rats and the gulls to feed on
He’ll figure it out someday he’ll figure it out
He says he gonna win someday
He’s gonna fix it
Sometimes on the bus he’ll sit next to strangers even though there’s plenty seats
He spouts his opinions on politics, Prince William and Suarez teeth
He points out the sights through the steamed up windows telling her what he’s done there
Then the stranger stands up and talks to him and says you know I don’t even care

Let Down Again
Sometimes you let their world surround you too much
I am not to blame let them pass away
Forget they found you
Listen, unwind the thoughts that haunt you, don’t wait
For those you think are friends to take you out again
Forget you found them
Turning up sober thinking I want one of those
This happens quite a lot
Let down again
Maybe the places that you hold dear to you
You’ll visit once again when time has long been spent
Where they don’t know you
Where they don’t know you
Where they don’t know you (turning up sober)
Where they don’t know you
This happens quite a lot
Let down again

I’m Over You, Goodbye
Lessons like this don’t come round too often
Be thankful then that no one saw you cry
Once it’s done there’s no more bridges to be burned
Just as well you’re drifting out of sight
But when it’s me, tell me once and still I wonder why
She told me once, ‘I’m over you, goodbye’
Photographs will always be a part of you
Will you keep my picture in a frame
Hopefully the music in me compliments
Every image burned into your brain
But when it’s me, tell me once and still I wonder why
She told me once, ‘I’m over you, goodbye’
But when it’s me, tell me once and still I wonder why
She told me once, ‘I’m over you, goodbye’

Don’t Dream Of California
The clouds start to break up like the Simpsons’ sky
The sun dries the tears forming in your eye
You won’t let their lies disguise the facts
Don’t blame yourself, you know you tried so hard
It wouldn’t make a difference if you go that far
So leave with your dignity and your pride intact
And did your mother never warn you
You’re not good enough to go there
So don’t you dream of California baby
Some try and fail and lose their innocence
Some lose their money and their instruments
But you turned your back on false promise
The sun, sea and sex and drugs, they won’t come free
There’s no real people with real families
So don’t waste your time and you won’t have regrets
And did your mother never warn you
You’re not good enough to go there
So don’t you dream of California baby

Back door key
Shame on you let's face it you haven't got a chance with her tonight
someone with the spirit not to fight is going to go away with her
It started all in June alright, Summer took a bit of your cherry ripe
All you want to do is dance or fight and end it all in her back seat
So do you want to know if I'm dancing
and do you remember the words still from last year
Then as soon as I go, you make off on your own
Until you slip back over to me, I want to borrow your back door key
We were playing shows all over Deeside
Two of us were caught in the Boat Inn fight
Christie filmed the garage, Sandy lit a rocket
Some guy went crazy so we told him to fuck it
So do you want to know if I'm dancing
and do you remember the words still from last year
Then as soon as I go, you make off on your own
Until you slip back over to me, I want to borrow your back door key

Nowhere Girl
Saw you at the station all dressed in black
I went to the park just to look at you
Your face it reminds me of a past affair
Nagging at my conscience though you’ve got no flair
You left me for a bible and I regret it now,
I regret it now
Now you’re a nowhere girl
Some just don’t like it how a woman moves
You get really drunk and the music soothes
Every ache and pain hiding in their brains
Might drive them wild should you turn and run
You left me for a bible and I regret it now,
I regret it now
Now you’re a nowhere girl
Tried to take me with you not as if you cared played me for a fool
To take my life away yeah, what could I say?
Yeah I lost my cool

Into The Background
Picking over the words you left so I won’t let you down
Hold them closely to my chest now you won’t be around
When you told the joke I heard the ending long before
All I found is fading into the background
Moving boxes across my floor, these memories made a sound
Did I need things from long ago? We covered so much ground
When you played the song I guessed the chords would trip you up
How we laughed has now faded into the past
I don’t have the right to know if all is fine, is this for show?
I don’t mean to make you wait, it’s already been too late
When you said you’d arrive I thought you’d maybe stand me up
Your silence drowned the noise into the background

Come Around
Another year begins and brings me back to life
But it gets hard to start again
In a week or two of holding on to it
I find I need to call on you
Come around cause I haven’t got a clue
Come around cause you’ll know just what to do
Come around cause I haven’t got a clue
When in doubt, I turn to you
There’s no one to blame but I can’t get hold of you
The shapes appearing are the same
Focussed on a phone and it never helps but should
I can’t do this on my own
Come around cause I haven’t got a clue
Come around cause you’ll know just what to do
Come around cause I haven’t got a clue
When in doubt, I turn to you
In these different situations
I end up feeling just the same
But I don’t know what’s wrong
Maybe I should go for where I once belonged

I used to know you
I used to walk you home after school
And carry books and I’d feel cool
You used to tell me
All of the secrets from your heart
Tried to begin before the start
What’s the point trying to change you
What’s the point trying to change
You’re going where you’re going to go
Going where you’re going to go
I thought you were special
I thought you were up there with the stars
Now you’re a black hole in my heart

I just want to stand outside and girl I never want to hide
You just want to stay in doors
Promise me you’ll give me more
Tell me what you wanna do, tell me what you wanna do
I want you to
Don’t forget to ask me why all your dreams may reach the sky
Hang around for long enough
You’ll be strong and I’ll be tough
Tell me what you wanna do, tell me what you wanna do
I want you to
Well, lately I’ve discovered that you’re a dog and I’m a cat
That still doesn’t bother me
Cause you’re the one I wanna see
Tell me what you wanna do, tell me what you wanna do
I want you to

Give It Back
As far as I could see all my friends and me
We’d all been done again though we never even wanted it
Some sunny afternoon still seeing last nights moon
Oh please don’t go away but it never listened anyway
Come on back me up
Don’t I deserve that much
You shout at me again
So I just give it back
I just give it back
Honey I’m too small to climb higher walls
I’d fall off and hit the ground with a crash crash crashing sound
The bus to Aberdeen takes me through those hills I see
To the town full of girlfriends but it’s coming to an end
Come on back me up
Don’t I deserve that much
You shout at me again
So I just give it back
I just give it back
Bright lampshade in the corner
And I’m tired of washing up
So I just pull the plug

Where I’m From
My time is precious now, I’ve not got long
I’m nearer the finish line than from the front
And when I’m away, away, away from home
My thoughts take me back to where I’m from
Taking the easy way to get things done
Leaving the harder things to get some sun
It’s taken a while, a while, I know it’s wrong
But my thoughts take me back to where I’m from
Leaving the door ajar to get some air
Hoping the rain won’t come to leave me spare
I’m never alone, alone and I don’t care
But thoughts take me back to there…
