Sending All My Love 03:22
lyrics

Verse 1: All of our lives We’re dreamers But in all our dreams We’re seers And when we wake at last We can’t remember what we’ve seen We can’t remember anything Chorus: A photograph Won’t capture anything If the eyes can’t find a picture It’s the heart that tries to see And the truth in every mirror Never satisfies the need To be Everything you wanna be A record of the words Can never really do The same things those words made you feel When they were said to you But now the answer finally Comes slowly into view And I Am sending all my love to you Verse 2: Out of the air There’s a feeling Maybe the future Is beginning But will tomorrow give yesterday The things it’s due It’s something only you can choose

Twisted Life 03:49
lyrics

Verse 1: A twisted life Of lies I made A wounded heart Battered by the words I said Chasing dreams Of growing wings Co-dependant On everyone and everything Pre-Chorus: The scars grow from our sins They cover everything And dreams made up of lies Are never realised Chorus: Times gone by We used to live By different rules With different values for everything Now we find Our contract’s made The rich have needs And for those needs the poor must surely pay Verse 2: A wordless hope No one can save A precious light Behind the curtain hides away Dreaming lives Where no one cries The ruler of A twist of fate a web of lies Pre-Chorus: Confession’s constant twin Is who we think is listening Sincere as you might be You have to still believe

Forever 04:43
lyrics

Verse 1: Well we laughed and cried all through the night We danced until the early light Spoke about a million things And wondered what tomorrow’d bring Felt like we could free Every single possibility The stars went pale and faded out Like all the dreams we spoke about The cost of every memory Is the sorrow made from what has been But I could never see All the obstacles in front of me Chorus: All fired up and pretty You took my breath away Burning up with passion Love is not a simple game All fired up and pretty You took my breath away Love like this is forever It reaches out and touches me Verse 2: Time just plays its games with us From early morning through to dusk Seems it makes the flowers bloom It’s always over far to soon Years and years we see Flying past you and me But love they say shall conquer all And every heart can hear its call An open book of how we feel A guiding light to everything It answers every need Never speaking just to be believed Chorus: All fired up and pretty You took my breath away Burning up with passion Love is not a simple game All fired up and pretty You took my breath away Love like this is forever It reaches out and comforts me All fired up, I’m all fired up And you are just so pretty All fired up, I’m all fired up Because you are so pretty

Rising Star 03:44
lyrics

Verse 1: Turn on the news See all the angles Sometimes it feels Too hot to handle A world of lies And truths that we’ve forgotten It comes in waves I feel them breaking Are we all slaves? Are we forsaken? The things we hide From all who question us Chorus: A rising star is only seen If we are told to look for it But you can see with your own eyes How many stars are in the sky You have heard the static of their cries How many times, how many times? Verse 2: Replay the days To make revisions And second-guess Our past decisions As if we’d know If we were never shown it Why is dissent Worse than division Our lives are spent Just chasing visions Convinced the truth Will only weaken us

Who Tamed Rock N Roll? 02:25
lyrics

Verse 1: You heard about how This river’s always flowing You heard all the reasons For being yourself You’re taught to ask questions But not to seek answers Turned into rebels Without any cause Chorus: Just Turn the page Choose another channel You’ll see the game The one where you are played So be the change Can there be another way Or take the wage That the looser is paid Verse 2: You rattle the cage Like maybe the locks can be broken How can you break A cage in your head Times have to change Who do you think will do the changing Who has the power To tame Rock ’n Roll Chorus: Just Turn the page Choose another channel You’ll see the game The one where you are played So change the rules Can there be another way Or take the wage That the looser is paid

Shake the Cage 03:28
lyrics

Verse 1: I like a carousel twisting I can feel my centre pulled away Someone shouts a melody But the whole world Will never sing it Every life has an entropy Sinking down in a world of make-believe Like the end of a symphony When silence Is all that’s left to hear Chorus: And I have dreams But they won’t let me sleep at night Sometimes the nightmares Are in front of me So I shake the cage Like I think the bars will fall away Sometimes illusions Are an ecstasy Verse 2: So I just woke myself again To the sound of the road and the pouring rain All the birds in a grey sky Singing memories To the open highways Paint it all in a mystery Write it down in a poem never read Shout it into a telephone To be captured But never answered Middle Bit: While we’re here I should tell you something No reason why But no second chance to make it right And should I fail Or disregard the way you feel I think the shame Would never fall away from me

Things I Know 03:47
lyrics

Verse 1: I fall and hit the ground Much more when you’re not around I try not to be afraid Of all the plans that I made I take time to heal I trust the way I feel My head is in the clouds So high I can’t hear a sound Chorus: I feel I feel your arms around me I know The pleasures of the world we’re in I hope And I pray for better days I know That I will never change my ways Verse 2: Trust me to say your name Keep me as someone to blame Hold me away from the fire Touch me and make me desire Verse 3: I’ll face the world that I made And all the promises I gave My heart from cradle to grave Beats for the one who has saved me

I Look at You You Look at Me 03:20
lyrics

Verse 1: I look at you you look at me A life made up of all the little things The diary of the years we’ve seen Is sometimes there behind your eyes I think And I remember every day Forever etched into my memory The way you looked the things you’d see I think you always saw the best in me Chorus: I look at you You look at me I see everything I could ever need I look at you You look at me And I can only hope I’m still the man I used to be Verse 2: I know my heart would turn to dust If you were gone there’d be no point to me You are my candle light at dusk The inspiration for the love I feel Chorus: I look at you You look at me I see everything I could ever need I look at you You look at me And I can only hope I’m still the man you used to see in me

When The Cold Wind Blows 03:27
lyrics

Verse 1: You said you’d stay Even when the cold wind blows You said we’d be together Through all the winter snows I thought for now We’ll see how the morning goes This really must be something That the heart just knows Chorus: There’s only one thing You can do when the cold wind blows There’s only one emotion You need when the cold wind blows Verse 2: We watched the seasons turning We braved the Winter snows You are my only comfort When the cold wind blows Chorus: There’s only one thing You can do when the cold wind blows There’s only one emotion You need when the cold wind blows I remember Your love when the cold wind blows The gift of shelter When the cold wind blows Verse 3: I can say you kept your promises You’re here when the cold wind blows We made our own forever Safe from the Winter snow

A Million Miles From Home 03:12
lyrics

Verse 1: It’s three AM And I’m walking Nowhere to be No company You want a reason You need a name We both want answers I’m just the same Chorus: I hear the rain When I should be sleeping I’m just too wide awake I’m too wired to speak if I could remain I’d wish that I was gone But I just feel like I’m a million miles from home Verse 2: The things you’ll notice Along the way Our grand delusions The games we play Those aren’t the things I need the most It’s not that I’m lonely It’s just that I’m lost

The Way We Feel 03:24
lyrics
buy track
Verse 1: Everything’s cultural Nothing is edible I always overestimate Things that are sensible Nothing is logical Everyone’s so practical I always make the same mistakes Thinking I’m radical Chorus 1: But you know I always seem to find In everything we have to leave behind There is a simple flowing harmony Confusing smiles and empathy An innocent a memory A secret moment’s ecstasy The trivial things are always real Yeah? And so is the way we feel Verse 2: Is everyone comfortable Are things really changeable The hands on the wheel are yours and mine Still nothing is credible We might be suggestible So who is accountable I like to think I’d understand But I’m not that reasonable
