Antidote
04:00
|
|||
(Allow me to change)
It’s not first time but the last time
Don't be afraid
(Allow me to change)
My social unrest, an anxious conquest
I know it's strange
(Allow me to change)
All the things that I've done wrong
I’ll re-arrange
You’re the ocean, I’m the sea
You're the voice which calls to me
Cut me down, send me afloat
Upon your tides, my antidote
Mistakes were made and this I know
I'm just a man, I'm trying to grow
Into the forest that you need
And not just an echo
Of what once was me
(Allow me to change)
I stayed up all night, hoping to come right
My fickle brain
(Allow me to change)
I crave the spotlight, not just the limelight
Upon your stage
(Allow me to change)
All the things that I’ve done wrong
I’ll re-arrange
You’re the ocean, I’m the sea
You're the voice which calls to me
Cut me down, send me afloat
Upon your tides, my antidote
Mistakes were made, and this I know
I'm just a man, I'm trying to grow
Into the forest that you need
And not just an echo
Of what once was me
All the things that I’ve done wrong (I’ve done wrong)
You’re the ocean, I’m the sea
You're the voice which calls to me
Cut me down, send me afloat
Upon your tides, my antidote
Mistakes were made, and this I know
I'm just a man, I'm trying to grow
Into the forest that you need
And not just an echo
Of what once was me
All the things that I’ve done wrong (I’ve done wrong)
I’ll re-arrange

Leave a Light On
04:02
|
|||
It’s like a cigarette tamed by your fingertips
When that cruel whisper spilled from your scarlet lips
So for the last time let me sail upon your ship
For the last time, let us light up
This is goodbye, for the last time
Let’s be wild and unashamed
You will always be my dancer
Come and dance inside my flame
Like lovers in the middle of the night
Desperate shuffles as we turn on the lights
Light up, light up, light up
All these places, different faces
We will never ever be the same
I’ll keep chasing, always chasing
Just to be beside your flame
Like lovers in the middle of the night
Desperate shuffles as we turn on the light
Light up, light up, light up
I’ll be the soundtrack to your ambient dream
If things were different well I know you’d be my queen
I will always leave a light on
I will always leave a light on
This is goodbye, for the last time
Let’s be wild and unashamed
You will always be my dancer
Come and dance inside my flame
Like lovers in the middle of the night
Desperate shuffles as we turn on the lights
Light up, light up, light up
All these places, different faces
We will never ever be the same
I’ll keep chasing, always chasing
Just to be beside your flame
Like lovers in the middle of the night
Desperate shuffles as we turn on the light
Light up, light up, light up
This is goodbye, to your sweet flame, light up
This is goodbye, for the last time
Let’s be wild and unashamed
I will always be your dancer
Come and dance inside my flame
Like lovers in the middle of the night
Desperate shuffles as we turn on the lights
Light up, light up, light up

Can You Feel It?
03:34
|
|||
This soul is tired of searching
This heart don’t beat in time
This man is tired of walking
I can’t find no rhythm or rhyme
I’ve figured it out
I’m digging it up
I’m singing about
The fact that I’m pale pickled pig
With a treasure chest of self-doubt
Get away, delay
I’m figuring out I’m okay
But the big bad wolf is on the loose (on the loose)
From sunrise, to sunset
ooh ooh hoo - can you feel it?
I shudder, it’s frightening
ooh ooh hoo - flat lining
From sunrise, to sunset
They’ve got you on the run, you’re freaking out
Taking all the fun, can you feel it?
Waiting for the sun, breaking out
You’re not the only one
Can you feel it?
Feel it
These thoughts are tired of running
All through my vacant mind
This wolf is up for feasting
On a pale pickled pig on the wrong side of wa-wa-wild
From sunrise, to sunset
ooh ooh hoo - can you feel it?
I shudder, it’s frightening
ooh ooh hoo - flat lining
From sunrise, to sunset
They’ve got you on the run, you’re freaking out
Taking all the fun, can you feel it?
Waiting for the sun, breaking out
You’re not the only one
Can you feel it?
Feel it
I shudder, it’s frightening, I don’t want to be flat lining
From sunrise, to sunset
They’ve got you on the run, you’re freaking out
Taking all the fun, can you feel it?
Waiting for the sun, breaking out
You’re not the only one
Can you feel it? Feel it
Feel it, feel it, feel it
Can you feel it?

Beautiful Life
03:46
|
|||
I'll be the water
You effervescent champagne
I’ll be the words
You be the canvas, the page
I'll be the wings
You be the nightingale
Flowers may fade
But our colors will stain
Together a beautiful life
Sail away, sail away, sail away on a ship made of love
Fly away, fly away, fly away on a purple dove
I'll be the fire that burns all your sad to glass
If you be my summer when winter refuses to pass
Seasons grow old
But I hope that you know
Forever a beautiful life
A beautiful life
Life will be golden, if I grow older with you
To have and to hold as long as you say that I do
Life can be sick
I’ll be your cure and your fix
I'll protect you from all that upsets you
Life can be wild
I'll tame the crazy inside
I'll defend you from demons within you
Galaxies and milky ways
Aren't big enough to describe
Our story, our beautiful life
Our beautiful life
Life will be golden, if I grow older with you
To have and to hold as long as you say that I do
A beautiful life
All of these lines crease our faces with good times
Revealing a beautiful life

For Now
04:08
|
|||
Taking you away from me
Is like taking away the air I breathe
There's no denying that without you I’m dying
I know that life and death
Work in their own distinctive ways
Some might say
It's a masquerade
Some might say
It's a goddamn champagne hurricane
And though
I know that we have caused each other pain
And though
I know that we will make a thousand plans
For now
For now
For now we are here
For now
We’ve had our share of
Disappointing tales from the past
We've broken hearts in the belief
That the best thing to do is leave
We both know what it's like
To try and make something last
But with you, it's so easy
Girl you, you complete me
And though
I know that we have caused each other pain
And though
I know that we will make a thousand plans
For now
For now
For now we are here
For now

Downtown Love
04:26
|
|||
It's okay to fall apart
No-one cares who you are
Here in downtown, here in downtown girl
Unpack your woes, forget the no-shows
We're all lost here, we're all lost here girl
There's someone to catch you, darling
A safe place to land
Someone who sees your charm
And that wants to understand
This is downtown love
Embrace the truth
We’ve lost our youth
Our innocence and all that's true
But baby not for you
You've still got plans, so see them through
Forget the others think of you
Think of you girl
There's someone to catch you, darling
A safe place to land
Someone who sees your charm
And that wants to understand
This is downtown love
They'll kick you down if you get up
And they'll stomp the ground if you've had enough
You and I darling we can get out of here
Take my hand let's run, let’s run, let’s disappear
Run, run as fast as we can
We’ve gotta get out of here
Nothing below us or above
All we have is this downtown love
Wash away our dirty tears
Take my hand, let's disappear
It’s okay, embrace the start
We've left behind our fractured past
We are outside

The Whole of the Moon
04:42
|
|||
I pictured a rainbow
You held it in your hands
I had flashes
But you saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
While you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon
You were there in the turnstiles with the wind at your heels
You stretched for the stars and you know how it feels
to reach too high, too far, too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
I was grounded
While you filled the skies
I was dumbfounded by truth
You cut through lies
I saw the rain dirty valley
You saw Brigadoon
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
I spoke about wings
And you just flew
I wondered, I guessed and I tried
You just knew
I sighed
But you swooned
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon
With a torch in your pocket and the wind at your heels
You climbed on the ladder and you know how it feels
to get too high, too far, too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon, hey yeah!
Unicorns and cannonballs, palaces and piers
Trumpets, towers and tenements
Wide oceans full of tears
Flags, rags ferryboats
Scimitars and scarves
Every precious dream and vision
Underneath the stars
You climbed on the ladder with the wind in your sails
You came like a comet blazing your trail
too high, too far, too soon
You saw the whole of the moon

Young & the Guilty
03:36
|
|||
Basement breakdown
Government shakedown
Superman jazzman
Super-low attention span
Backseat driver
Coca-cola spider
Positive negative
Immigrant survivor
Pardon me for knowing
I beg your pardon me
Tightrope paycheck
Enigmatic cigarette
Raging redneck
Shooting up the discotheque
Pardon me for crying
I beg your pardon me
When we were young
It was flowers and love
We used to shout at the man in the tower above
Now that we’re old, it’s just money and fame
If we look in the mirror it’s a crying shame
Young, young and the guilty
We’ve lost our humanity
We’re just statues under the sun
Young, young and the guilty
Poisoned by money
Young and the guilty
A world next door to yours
Robots on the radio
Journey through the shadows
Giants on the piano
Stardust Galaxies
Artefacts & antiques
Episode melodies
Chinese remedies
Pardon me for singing
I beg your pardon me
When we were young
It was flowers and love
We used to shout at the man in the tower above
Now that we’re old, it’s just money and fame
If we look in the mirror it’s a crying shame
Young, young and the guilty
We’ve lost our humanity
We’re just statues under the sun
Young, young and the guilty
Poisoned by money
The young and the guilty

Twilight Years
03:36
|
|||
Conversation like a thunderstorm
Philosophy through a microphone
We’re chasing dreams from the break of dawn
When dusk arrives we melt back home
I’ll keep it brief because boys don’t cry
Will you be my lover
In those twilight years
Lets dance on the river
And defy our fears
Billionaires and politicians
Fiddling with aspirations
Alienating all that we hold dear
Will you be my lover
Through those twilight years
If heaven and hell should divide us all
We used to run now like slaves we crawl
Like a wolf howling at a sunken moon
And old man whistles a forgotten tune
Twilight, twilight rendezvous
Will you be my lover
Through those twilight years
Lets dance on the river
And defy our fears
Billionaires and politicians
Fiddling with aspirations
Alienating all that we hold dear
Will you be my lover
Through those twilight years

Welcome the Wonderful
03:42
|
|||
Don’t be a stranger to the wonders of life
It’ll knock you down but somehow you’ll survive
I’ve seen so many unhappy days
Life is just a jumbled, colourful bouquet
Welcome the wonderful
Welcome the wonderful
The wonderful life
Don’t be a stranger, to the wonders of life
Welcome the wonderful
Welcome the wonderful
The wonderful life
I see another window open
And there’s so much more
Welcome the wonderful comes rushing through the door
Before a little black crow should take a dance around my eager eyes
I’ll drink the remedy
I will be free
Welcome the wonderful
I’ll be free
Welcome the wonderful
The wonderful life

Only the Good
03:54
|
|||
I heard you want to live forever
But karma keeps kicking you down
You looked to the wise
And to your surprise they said
Only the good die young
We might as well all be bad
We all know that only the good die young
I saw you standing over there
Watching them sing and fly in the air
You so badly wanted to sing along
But you were too shy, too scared and too proud to dare
I see your long golden hair
And your big brown beautiful eyes
They’re innocent but they can’t hide
The frown inside cause life’s unkind
Only the good die young
We might as well all be bad
We all know that only the good die young
Is this a sick nightmare?
I hear you crying in despair
Life the cruel compromise
Where suddenly the lovely is daring you to dream
Don’t be chasing paper tigers
Life cannot defy the fighter
The adventure of your glorious soul
So be brave, embrace this beautiful life
Only the good stay young
There’s no need to compromise
Now you know that only the good stay young
Young
Only the good die young
Only the good stay strong

Keep Reminding Me
04:48
|
|||
Lover, the truth is so grim
The only one you're hurting is yourself
Lover, not a hater
You used to share your light with everybody else
The lessons are within you
The answers do not lie outside yourself
You're collecting, fleeting fuzzy
There's only one thing that will lead you to the wealth
Just keep reminding me
Just keep reminding me
Just keep reminding me
That none of this means anything
None of this means anything
Brother, you're fading
And all day long you worry for your health
Your doctor cannot cure you
The answers do not lie upon his shelf
Oh, father, you feel raided
You feel life has given you some tepid plan
Just like a cat, curious not jaded
You're willing to end it all to understand
Just keep reminding me
Just keep reminding me
That none of this means anything
None of this means anything
Magic mirror, am I complacent?
Am I adjacent to ideals or flippant plans?
Discover the mirror
Reveal reflections that remind me that I am just a scan

I Feel Over Nothing
04:16
|
|||
I hear the chorus line
Override much of what you do
It’s the only time I feel over nothing
Oh it’s true
And it’s only afternoon
I hear the chorus line
I feel over nothing
Nothing
When I hear the chorus line
Drifting through these autumn hues
A vintage Sunday afternoon
Like a polaroid from 1969
I really do enjoy the view
But it’s not home and it’s not you
A hummingbird ushers in a sign
Suddenly a melody sweeps me straight back home
I hear the chorus line
Override much of what you do
It’s the only time I feel over nothing
Oh it’s true
And it’s only afternoon
I hear the chorus line
I feel over nothing
Nothing
When I hear the chorus line
Floating through these avenues
Sipping in the morning dew
As golden fingers peel away the night
If melody is family then harmony is home
Home
I hear the chorus line
Override much of what you do
It’s the only time I feel over nothing
Oh its true
And it’s only afternoon
I hear the chorus line
I feel over nothing
Nothing
When I hear the chorus line
Floating through these avenues
Sipping in the morning dew
As golden fingers peel away the night
If melody is family then harmony is home
Home
I hear the chorus line
Override much of what you do
It’s the only time I feel over nothing
Oh it’s true
And it’s only afternoon
I hear the chorus line
I feel over nothing
Nothing
When I hear the chorus line

Goodbye to the Show
04:02
|
|||
And in the morning
When I’m no longer here
Would you notice or would you even care
Beware of the heart
That was broke from the start
What are we doing this all seems unfair
Constant fighting inviting despair
Put down the gloves dear
How did we get here
Let it go
Goodbye to the show
And in the evenings
When you rest your head
All your demons have left
So you battle me instead
My passion, your game
As you smother me in blame
What are we doing this all seems unfair
Constant fighting inviting despair
Put down the gloves dear
How did we get here
Let it go
Goodbye to the show
Breathe in, don’t fight it
It’s over now
