Is this a good song?
Will it make the girls start dancing?
Will it win a award?
Will they say its life enhancing?
Is this the right song to play at that special moment?
Will they play it on the radio?
Will it get the sales quotient?
You could be the love of my life
Tonight could be the night
All because of the best song that I’ve ever heard in the world.
You see it on the video
Now here it is in stereo
I try to remember the time when the feeling got the better of my state of mind.
Sometimes it’s hard to live in the now
Maybe the next line will show me how
The blank page staring up at my face
Is telling me I have to try and finish the race.
You could be the love of my life
Tonight could be the night
All because of the best song that I’ve ever heard in the
World is spinning round and round
It”s the emotional sound
It’s all because of the best song that I’ve ever heard in the..
World is spinning faster as the music gets so loud
And my heart is beating faster when you say that you,say that you love me.
The world is spinning round and round
It’s the emotional sound
It’s all because of the best song that I’ve ever heard and..
You could be the love of my life
Tonight could be the night
All because of the best song that I’ve ever heard in the
World is spinning round and round
Its the emotional sound
It’s all because of the best song that I’ve ever heard in the
World
In the world
World
In the world,world, now…

Epic Asana
03:57
|
|||
|
Moving in a rhythmic way
Coming to terms with
things that people say
When I'm in your penumbra
An epic asana
When we play
Swimming in moonlit seas
Drinking from the setting Sun
Leisurely moments passing by
Dissolving conclusions like a shirt undone
Leaving you naked to the world
Dancing to rhythms
That come from the mountains
that reach for the sky
There's so many stars tonight
When I'm in your penumbra
An epic asana
Dancing to rhythms
That come from the mountains
That reach for the sky

Living the Dream
03:52
|

|
Uptight, sitting around
Set sail now I’m running aground
Washed up like wood on the beach
Sundown, the colour of peach and you
Its all up to you
Now that you’re living the dream
Here comes another day
Look out, the window it’s grey
Facebook, people they preach
You can’t touch, it’s all out of reach to you
What you gonna do
Now that you’re living the dream
Throw me into myself
But too much, It’s bad for my health
Dressed up, go out for the night
Reach out to creatures that bite, it’s true
You gotta do what you do
Now that you’re living the dream
Drink up, the future is dead
You wake up sleepless in bed
I’m stuck inside this head
It’s not fair the things that they said to you
You snooze you loose
Now that you’re living the dream
Go to work with people you hate
You’re on time you can’t be late
Everyday, it’s in and out
Routine, you scream and shout the news
You gotta bend the rules
Now that you’re living the dream
You break up, it goes to your head
It’s so bad, you wish you were dead
What you want and what you need
I’ve heard it before and makes, my heart bleed
You keep begging please
Now that you’re living the dream

The Beginning Of The End
04:29
|

|
This is the end
of the beginning
All of the birds in the trees
have stopped singing
If it's the beginning
and it's the end
Make all the plans you want
there's no more money to spend
This is the end
and it's the beginning
We're all fighting in a war that
nobodies winning
Is this the beginning
of the end
Is this the beginning?
Is this the beginning?
Of the end
It's been a year
one to remember
It wasn't so long ago
but somethings changed forever
Is this the beginning
of the end
Is this the beginning?
Is this the beginning?
Of the end
It's time to go
But we've only just begun
It's time to go
But we're having so much fun

Man Child

Man Child
You’re running wild
You’re going down but you’re taking us with you
And you’re living on borrowed time
Man Child
You’re running wild
You’re going down but you’re taking us for the ride.
Warhead, your god is dead
He went to sleep in a burning bed.
You had a dream you were the one
Hair the colour of the sun.
She’s looking good, you try your luck
‘Cause she’s a car and you’re a truck.
You overtake but it’s too late
The Alpha one has come undone.
Man Child……….
Wolf pack they got your back
spade work then you attack.
You’re the man the upper hand
The only way you understand.
What you want and what you need
‘Cause greed is good so make them bleed.
Everything’s a one night stand
In the promised land.
Man Child………

A World Full Of Lies
04:13

What’s happening to you
What’s happening to me
It’s happening to you
It’s happening to me
There’s an ocean of emotion
in the rising sea
There’s an ocean of emotion
inside of me
Seeing is believing
but the media’s deceiving
Try to send a message
but nobodies’ receiving
Looking for a question
forget about the answer
Try to find the meaning
but she’s a little dancer
So drink a lot of water
and eat your propaganda
Try to find a lover
but keep it undercover
The time’s they are a changing
and the kids are misbehaving
But there’s a tailor-made solution
just waiting here for you
Camouflage disguise
In a world full of lies
Behind you
Inside you

Like A Setting Sun
04:10

I'm gonna get In my car and drive away from all the day to day
'cause I live in a golden age but I don't even realise
Far away across the country and
deep into another land then I'm
Gonna get out and walk away and burn beneath the setting sun
There's a beauty in sadness and a sadness in the beautiful
If you look up and see the shadows crawling up across the trees
Now and then you'll see a bird
fly away without a word and the
shadows continue on their lonely way around the world
Yesterday
I heard the news
It made me stop
and think about
the ones we love
There's nothing you can do
Yesterday I heard the news
It made me stop
and think about
the ones we love
and care about
the closer that
we try to get
the further they
just go away
they never stay
just like a setting sun

Sunday Times
04:18
|

|
I come undone
just when it starts
Before it ends
It always falls apart
I got a compass spinning ‘round and ‘round
I’m losing altitude
I’m coming down
faster faster
don’t be late faster faster
and make me wait
faster faster
concentrate
and do the job at hand
I got you in my head
I need you here instead
Bring me back from the dead
And chase away these blues
I want you next to me
Come on give me ecstasy
Before you go and put me down
Walk a mile in my shoes
Quiet desperation
On a rainy Sunday afternoon
I’m out of practise and I’m out of touch
I’ve got some work to do so wish me luck

Let Go Lets Go
03:22

You’ve got to do it,
you’ve got to make it.
But will they ever remember your name.
The bag is ticking,
Its getting heavy.
Is this the way that you want to go out.
You’ve got to find it,
you’ve got to lose it.
I used to have it
then I withdrew it.
It comes and goes,
it ebbs and flows.
It’s a never-ending river of hues.
The nature of it
You’ve got to see it.
Sometimes you’re lucky
and you can be it.
It can take you
re-awake you
Tie you up and make you undone.
I used to follow
and I was hollow
I let it go
now its following me.
You’ve got to fake it
until you make it
that's how it goes.
‘Cause you’ve got what it takes and you take what you can get.
And you’re sick of the rest and the best it’s a test
and it gets you in the end.
There’s a line in the sand and a helping hand reaching out for you
but you pushed it away like a boat on a lake
and you tried to fly away.
But it’s a great big world and the clouds are so high
and you just lost your way.
So its back to the earth and the day of your birth
you get one more day.
Oohh let go! Oohh lets go! ……………..

A Hot Date With The City
04:21
|
|||
|
I've got a hot date with the city
and I'm watching the sun go down
She's lit up like a Christmas tree
and I've never seen her looking so pretty
Dressed up in my finery
Tonight I'm going to spread my wings
Flying over the harbour lights
Lets see what the evening brings
Everybody's lost their way tonight
They're crawling through the tunnel to the light
Everybody's eye's are shining bright
'Cause everyone is staring at the light
(Blinding light, shining bright, blinding light)
The moon's gone behind a cloud
and I'm holding on to my breath
I think I've had too much to drink
and I'm trying really hard to impress
You want to dance to the music
but I know that I'm better than that
I think I saw a shooting star
and I know I won't forget about that

Put It In A Song
04:30
|
|||
|
There was something that I read
And something that I heard
In yesterdays papers
And yesterdays words
But now I can’t remember
How to keep myself together
It could be sleepless nights
Or maybe it’s the weather
I’m getting older and wiser
But I need an advisor
When I make my decision
On the state of the nation
There’s something that I’ve lost
And something that I’ve found
And all I can do
Is put it in a song
The things that come and go
The things you’ll never know
They’ll only keep you up at night
They’ll only stop you dreaming
And when the rain is pouring
And when the party’s boring
And it’s time to go home
And put it in a song
