An Ode To The Rope 02:13
lyrics
buy track
We’ll drink a drink to 'Auld Lang Syne' We’ll go to a place with a rope on the sign There’s phonies and cronies, two timing show ponies And a girl with a cheeky glint in her eye This is our town this is our pub These are the faces that we hate or love And we all stand together We all stand together Step through doors and come see what you'll find There's limited choices of beer and wine Please feel at home a warm welcome awaits As long as you’re white, English and straight. This is our town this is our pub These are the faces that we hate or love And we all stand together We all stand together

When I Fell 02:56
lyrics
buy track
It’s gonna be tough to hide the pain To open up to someone again It’s going over and over in my head Where were you when I fell? It’s gonna take time that I don’t have And I don’t mind I’m coming back It’s going over and over in my head Where were you when I fell? I turned to you when I fell down I cried your name, made not a sound It’s going over and over in my head Where were you when I fell?

Baby don't let me down Don't let me suffer Don't let me drown Baby I'm on your side I won't watch you falter Won't watch you die Baby Please Baby Please Baby, please understand I can't take you under Can't take your hand Baby, make me decide It's easy to lose you You're easy to find Baby Please Baby Please

A Life In Twenty Words 03:45
lyrics
buy track
The room was dark With not a speck of light John drew the curtains Letting out the night There she lay On a bed of clothes Seems like only yesterday Where the time went no one knows You have changed I've stayed the same We both share the same heart beat And day by day And night by night John takes her by the hand They help each other by Same old view Everything has changed Another drink is served This place is very strange You have changed I've stayed the same We both share the same heart beat You have changed I've stayed the same We both share the same heart beat Now I can see The things you hide Her memory comes & goes Like the face I recognise “Call my name” For those have passed A life in twenty words Remembered on a plaque You have changed I've stayed the same We both share the same heart beat You have changed I've stayed the same We both share the same heart beat

Cease To Resist 01:31
lyrics
buy track
Cease to resist all the feelings you keep to yourself Only show me what you want me to see if it helps Show me your sun let your night overcome when you shine Shine Sleep wakes a dream and a solitude screams out and cries Candlelight burns as you twist and you turn in the night Colours remain and they dim and they fade and then shine Shine

Slow Rain 03:05
lyrics
buy track
Rain follows me, wherever I go, it always seems to be Ain't got time, to run away, so I'm washed up it's just another day Anytime that we're in the sunshine We’ll be fine Anytime that we're in the sunshine We'll be fine Rain, endless rain, never gave you love, you took it all the same And through the clouds, and clear the day, the storm’s washed up, and chased away the rain Anytime that we're in the sunshine We’ll be fine Anytime that we're in the sunshine We'll be fine Rain, no more rain, you take me there, and I just can't explain Come with me, and run away, the things you said, the things you didn't say Anytime that we're in the sunshine We’ll be fine Anytime that we're in the sunshine We'll be fine

T Petty 01:33

Heard your record yesterday You said it was throw away Tom Petty, you made my day I’m not sorry you are gone I’m just glad you came along Tom Petty, you were so cool The sun is setting cross the sky I took your love and gave you mine Tom Petty The sun is setting cross the sky I took your love and gave you mine Tom Petty

Then They Change 03:00
lyrics
buy track
Skies bright, sunshine starts to clear through the stars Rains stay distant when she’s near, or far And she never leaves, believes these days will never change, then they change Days grow long in summer’s sun, daylight clears Nights call shadows when she’s gone, or she’s near And she never leaves, believes these days will never change, then they change Sands dry, empty, turn to dust, disappear Drown in rivers when she’s lost from here And she never leaves, believes these days will never change, then they change Waves cry anger, broken shores fade and die Harbours shelter when she’s home and she's dry And she never leaves, believes these days will never change, then they change, then they change, then they change Trees stay golden, autumn's brown, autumn's gold Leaves don't fall when she’s 'round, they won't fall Ice flows crashing, winter’s soul, dreams to save Snows fall silent when she’s cold, far away

Something Sacred 02:10
lyrics

I felt something sacred, I felt scared to die Lying out of hatred and hiding through disguise Lord I've always taken, forsaken faith and pride I've tried hard for praying, trying, Lord I've tried Where will you go when the time goes by? What will you say Lord? God I’ve tried All my stakes were taken, all mistakes were mine Lord I've tried to take them, away Lord, God I've tried Lord I've always taken, forsaken faith and pride I've tried hard for praying, trying, Lord I've tried Where will you go when the time goes by? What will you say Lord? God I’ve tried God I've tried God I've tried God I've tried

I Can See You 02:09

I can see you, you can see me What's beneath you is beneath me Wash away the face that you see 'Cause I can see you, you can see me I can’t see you, you can’t see me What’s above you is beneath me Hide away the fears you gave me 'Cause I can’t hide from you and you can’t see If I let you into my life I’m the one who’ll set you free You’re the one that’s always hiding But I can see you (I can see you), you can see (you can see me) me

The Town I Know 02:56
lyrics
buy track
I'd walk over the miles, once in a while to the station They took down the bridge when we were kids When we were young(er) I'm with all of my friends and there is my girl in the corner She's the one who said you're never young You'll never be old(er) The town I know (I don’t know) Has all moved on (it’s all I know) This town has gone, it's all I know We’re all struggling to read, there's no longer books in the library My life is a mess coz the library's a crèche or something else The fields have all gone, there's nowt to be done I've skinned all my knees on the 'astro' The pain it still hurts, the blood and the dirt The town I know (I don't know) Has all moved on (it’s all I know) This town has gone, it's all I know Boys and girls and you and me We have grown old, we have seen The town I know (I don't know) Has all moved on (it’s all I know)

If I said sorry, a million times or more Would you still love me? Would you love me like before 'Cause I believe in you, like you believe in me Can you see? Can you see? You told me not to (told you that I loved you) Never told me why (told you that I cared) And you believed me (would you still need me) Could you trust me one more time? ‘Cause I believe in you, you believe in me Can you see? Can you see? So I don’t worry, you will still be there If I still loved you, if I still cared ‘Cause I believe in you, you believe in me Can you see? Can you see? Can you see? Can you see? Can you see? Can you see? Can you see? Can you see? Can you see? Can you see?

Here’s my soul for you to see Here’s my love that you don’t need Christmas hearts worn true and deep Here’s my love its all I need When you do what you’re doing to me Can't help how I feel when you're all that I need With your love, and you gave it to me Can't help how I feel when you’re all that I need Bless my soul, and wake my dreams Breaks my heart and rips the seams Christmas time, and you’re not here I bless each time we had each year When you do what you’re doing to me Can't help how I feel when you're all that I need With your love, and you gave it to me Can't help how I feel when you’re all that I need Christmas lights, full of gold and green Bless your heart, for another year Here’s my soul, here’s my dreams Empty chairs, and it shatters me
