|
VERSE 1:
You outshine the sun
A gift to everyone
A twinkle in my eye
That grew to shine so bright
CHORUS:
Hold your head and remember who you are
And you won’t be easy prey for anyone
Stand your ground and always know your heart
You’ll never be easy prey for anyone
VERSE 2:
Make today the start
Of opening your heart
I kind of know you will
We’re here to guide you still

Angel - Eve 2018
02:54
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
Like the light
You came in the early morning
Oh so bright
You captured my heart
From the moment I saw you
CHORUS:
You’re the light
And you shine like an Angel
All your life
You have shone like an Angel
VERSE 2:
All the years
You never stopped shining
As you grew
It only made more
Of the wonder in you

Standing Still
02:44
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
Every piece is always in play
Like a kaleidoscope
Like a dazzling new day
Always changing in every way
All so distracting
New games every day
CHORUS:
And the whole world seems
So turned around
And I have had my fill
But you can see the world’s still spinning around
But I am standing still
VERSE 2:
All the sounds are un-frozen today
Like a symphony
Made from moments of play
In a whirlwind of constant display
That flashes past our eyes
And will not be delayed

Time Has No Heart
02:56
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
Time has no heart
So you never hear its beat
But it goes on and on
Relentlessly
And time has no thought
For all the ones it meets
Because tomorrow
They may all be gone
CHORUS:
Like a storm without a sound
We all forget that it’s around
Pushing onwards
Rushing by
And when we need it
Time just flies
Like a friend who runs away
Our collective yesterdays
Should have seen it
From the start
That
Time has no heart
VERSE 2:
Time’s a thief
And that’s no lie
Time is always
Stealing by
Time allows us
All to see
Just how precious
Our lives can be
|

Soulless
04:03
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
Well it’s really no big surprise
For the girl with the deep blue eyes
That her boyfriend is screaming go
And it’s really not such a blow
So she wanders away from it
To the place where she knows she fits
But the boredom might drive her insane
So throws it all away and wanders back out again
CHORUS:
To see
Soulless people, yelling about their endgame
God knows
All they want is everything
Just as long as we know
They’re the star of the show
And ignorance of shame is what we all want
Oh God!
You can sell us anything
Until the day that we see
It takes a whole world to be free
VERSE 2:
If politicians could learn to bow
To all the people who’ll vote them out
A little gratitude might be nice
But they’re holding us to a price
I could trade all my time for gold
But it’s really just me that’s sold
I’m about to be sold again
Should I hold out for more or should I just say “when”

The Streets Have No Soul
03:24
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
The streets have no heart
Anymore
And the streets don’t hear a thing
And don’t care at all
Oh the streets share no pain
And they take no blame
Yeah the streets are only open
To the pouring rain
CHORUS:
The streets have no pulse anymore
Cos’ the streets have no soul, No no no no!
VERSE 2:
Oh the streets give no joy
And feel no shame
And the streets are all the ones
That we’re living in
The streets they just don’t care
If you’re a star or an atom bomb
And the streets don’t give a damn
Where you’re coming from
VERSE 3:
And the streets take their time
And they have no aim
And the streets are always changing
But they stay the same
The streets have no rhythm of their own
They just shake and creak
To the wonders that we’ve
Played to it

Trying to Understand
04:00
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
Every memory has a cold spot
And what it shows is always what is not
So what is not is all that we’ve got
To show to anyone
It’s not that we care at all
Everybody wants to fly before they fall
It’s just that life’s such a ball
But you know that it’s crazy, crazy now
CHORUS:
I’m trying to understand
But things are really getting
Totally out of hand
If things don’t change
If things just stay the same
Then everyone
(* Yeah everyone *)
Who sees the storm
Will think that they’re insane
VERSE 2:
In your heart there is a mean place
A lack of empathy with no grace
It loves to judge and it loves to rock
And roll with anyone
It’s not that we care that much
Everybody’s got to deal with their own stuff
Work together maybe we all get enough
But we think that is crazy, crazy now

Small Place
02:59
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
I remember when all we were
Felt like we might be free
With nowhere to be
Until Monday morning
Apple blossoms on the trees
Fresh out of judgment
We just raised some hell
On Sunday evenings
CHORUS:
When the world was a small place
So much love in such a small place
And the world had
Everything we could ever wish for
But now our Mother’s crying
Every time we ask for more
VERSE 2:
Of all the haunting memories
It’s all the friends we had
The ones you knew
Would stand forever

Tension
02:44
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
(2 measures intro)
Run into the light
I keep on falling
Run into the light
I just can’t fight
Run into the light
It’s always shining
Every time we do what’s right
Run into the light
Just keep moving
Run into the light
Don’t give up
Run into the light
Helping hands
Always give us real good luck
But
CHORUS:
I feel like
I’m always under tension
I feel like
I’m always under tension
VERSE 2:
(1 measure intro)
Run into the light
I can’t remember
Run into the light
Who I was
Run into the light
No shining memory
Ever paints me well enough
Run into the light
While you’re bleeding
Run into the light
Wipe the pain
Run into the light
Never know your
Love again
CHORUS:
I feel like
I’m always under tension
I feel like
I’m always under tension
Always under tension
Always under tension
Always under tension
