In Retrospect

All these friendly faces
Walking straight by me
Does anyone fancy a beer?
Just to talk
We’ll talk the night away
We’ll talk about the good times
The glad times, The best times
We’ll talk about how wonderful it is
To be part of life on this world
And it’s waiting for you
It’s waiting for me
Just to see it
In retrospect
We’re always patching up
Like an old, cold patchwork blanket
Stitching away
We sit there stitching away
Stitching our eyes shut
Our minds shut
Our lives shut to the purpose
We forget what it means
To be a part of this life on this world
And it’s waiting for you
It’s waiting for me
Just to see it
In retrospect
It’s waiting for you
It’s waiting for me
Just to see it
In retrospect
We are two raindrops
Like veins on a window pane
What are the chances
Of us both landing here?
Now that we’ve formed into one
We’re both going the same way
At the same time
To the same deep blue sea
Is this fate or just chance
That this happened to you and to me?
And it’s waiting for you
It’s waiting for me
Just to see it
In retrospect
And it’s waiting for you
It’s waiting for me
Just to see it…

Come in to the Light
03:45
|
|||
It’s late and you’re sat
On my doorstep
Your cheeks get rosy
When you’ve had a drink
You’ve got a lit cigarette
Then you start singing
The neighbours stir
But you’ve not a care
What they think
So I say…
Come in to the light
And I’ll put you
To bed for the night
Come In
To the light
To the light
When I open the door
I see you’re barefoot
You stumble over
And give me a kiss
You live a wild
And crazy world
But I love you my girl
The neighbours shout
But we’ve not a care
What they think, now, girl
So Come On…
Come in to the light
And I’ll put you
To bed for the night
Come In
To the Light
To the light
To the light…
And I know…
That she’s got
A good soul
And she’ll find her
Way home to the light
And I know that she
Might go off track
But she’ll find her
Way back
Through the night
And I know
That if I go off track
She’ll help me
Find my way back
You’re asleep as your
Head hits the pillow
I had to carry you
Limp up the stairs
For all that’s right
In the world
I wouldn’t change you
It’s good to
Know somebody
Who cares, now, girl
So Come On…
Come in to the light
And I’ll put you
To bed for the night
Come In
To the Light
To the light
To the light…
And I know…
That she’s got
A good soul
And she’ll find her
Way home to the light
And I know that she
Might go off track
But she’ll find her way
Back through the night
And I know that if
I go off track
She’ll help me
Find my way back
And I know
That when I go off track
She’ll help me
Find my way back
To the light

Live For Tonight
03:13
|
|||
Feel the rhythm pulsing
Your heart starts to race
The tempo is building
With the rumble of the bass
This is for the worn out
Lord knows we’ve all felt down
For those who’ve had a bad month
Been beat into the ground
You’re not on your own
You’re not on your own
You’re not on your own
To pick up the pieces
So take off your shirt and tie…
And let your hair down now
Feel the bass drum pound
‘Cause for the next few minutes
You can lose yourself in the sound
You’re not on your own
You’re not on your own
You’re not on your own
To pick up the pieces
So take off your shirt and tie
Live for tonight
If you feel you’re at a rough end
In a bad way and the world
Just starts to grate
If you need a little pick up
Lift your mood up
Something to ease the weight
Then let the music wash over and over
And leave it all behind
Pick yourself up off
The back foot, step forward
Let the rhythm beat out your stride
Let the walls shake around
You, and within you
As emotion builds up inside
And let the music wash over
And over and feel it fade away
You’re not on your own
You’re not on your own
You’re not on your own
To pick up the pieces
So take off your shirt and tie…
And let your hair down now
Feel the bass drum pound
‘Cause for the next few minutes
You can lose yourself in the sound
You’re not on your own
You’re not on your own
You’re not on your own
To pick up the pieces
So take off
Your shirt and tie…
Live for tonight
Live for tonight
Live for tonight
Live for tonight

A Thousand Silences
03:53
|
|||
Cut the anchor, burn the sail
We’ll drown with the heaviness
Of a thousand silences
This silence unbroken will kill us
Can you, can you feel it?
As our lungs fill with water
It’s this water that keeps us alive
It’s pumped in our veins
Only liquid remains
‘Cause you drowned me
With a thousand silences
The feel of the waves as they crash down
Like horses they stamp
And the taste in your mouth
The taste in your mouth
As we sink down, under the waves
Under the waves
Under
Can you, can you feel it?
As our lungs fill with water
It’s this water that keeps us alive
It’s pumped in our veins
Only liquid remains
‘Cause you drowned me
With a thousand silences
The feel of the waves as they crash down
Like horses they stamp
And the taste in your mouth
The taste in your mouth
As we sink down, under the waves
The feel of the waves as they crash down
Like horses they stamp
And the taste in your mouth
The taste in your mouth
As we sink down
This is not where I set sail for
This is not where I set sail for
This is not where I set sail for
This is not where I set sail for
This is not where I set sail for
This is not where I set sail for
This is not where I set sail…
Let’s go higher
Let’s go higher
Let’s go higher and higher
And higher
The feel of the waves
As they crash down
Like horses they stamp
And the taste in your mouth
The taste in your mouth
As we sink down…
Under the waves

Life Around Here
03:16
|
|||
Living down West
It's a ride, it's a lull
Some think it's heaven, yeah
And some think it's dull
And I know life it don't have much pace
Far away from the big city race
And I'm not gonna say
That it's all fun and games
The rest of the world
Can seem so far away
And it's easy to drift out of touch
When that distance can all get too much
But where else?
Come quarter to six
Can you come straight out of work
Jump in the car
And go down to the surf
And those who know me
Yeah they'll know where to be
Can't say we don't have much
We've got all we need
It's a raging high
It's a stall in gear
Life is a ride and
Lull round here
It's a raging high
It's a stall in gear
Life is a ride
And lull round here
Around here
Around here
Around here
And the road getting
Down here is long
When the pull from
The world can be strong
And the winters can drag
When the fog just won't lift
Nobody's out and then nobody's in
And the water in March is so cold
When the rain tipping down can get old
But where else?
Come quarter to six
Can you step straight out of work
Jump in the car
And go down to the surf
And those who know me
Yeah they'll know where to be
Can't say we don't have much
We've got all we need
It's a raging high
It's a stall in gear
Life is a ride and lull round here
It's a raging high
It's a stall in gear
Life is a ride and lull round here
Ah, aah-ah
Around here, ah, aah-ah
Around here, ah, aah-ah
Around here...
It's a raging high
It's a stall in gear
Life is a ride and lull round here
It's a raging high
It's a stall in gear
Life is a ride and lull round here
It's a raging high
It's a stall in gear
Life is a ride and lull round here
It's an endless night
It's your biggest fear
Life is a ride and lull round here

Irresistible
04:20
|
|||
I'm stumped, top trumped
Head over heels,
I'm a dizzy free wheelin'
Since she caught my eye
If only she were mine
She's got long blonde
Hair with short curls
Which unfurl to a pretty face
You should see it
When she breaks a smile
She's dynamite!
There she goes this girl
It's a lucky man she'll meet
If only she were mine
I'd treat her as a lady should be
I'd give her Sunday
Morning lie-ins with
A breakfast in bed
Cook her runny little eggs
For the day ahead
If that's what she wants
I would wine and dine this sweet girl
If she'd let me in her world
Keep her warm on a winter's night
When it's dark and it's cold
There she goes this girl
It's a lucky man she'll meet
If only she were mine
I'd treat her as a lady should be
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
She's irresistible, she's the greatest girl
I'd be a crazy man if I missed my chances
She's so exceptional her electric smile
And I'm hooked and I just can't resist
Now we're stumped
Top trumped
Head over heels
We're a dizzy free wheelin'
Since we first went out
Who would have thought?
We went down to the beach
'99' in your hand
And you dropped it in the sand
And we had a good laugh
And you said to me:
"Boy this is fun"
There she goes this girl
I'm a lucky man to meet her
And now that she is mine
I treat her as a lady should be
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
She's irresistible, she's the greatest girl
I'd be a crazy man if I missed my chances
She's so exceptional her electric smile
And I'm hooked and I just can't resist
She's irresistible, she's the greatest girl,
I'd be a crazy man if I missed my chances
She's so exceptional her electric smile
And I'm hooked and I just can't resist
I can't resist the girl
She's irresistible, she's the greatest girl
I'd be a crazy man if I missed my chances
She's so exceptional her electric smile
I'm hooked and just can't resist...

That make my wondrous little world
Come to life

Wildcat Minx
02:10
|
|||
She's a wildcat minx
With a body to die for
She's got a twisted mind
And a drinking disorder
She treats every night
Like it's the weekend
But when it gets too much
She'll knock on my door
On a Sunday morning
Hungover, make-up running
She hasn't slept in days
Doesn't know where she's been
Before I know what I'm doing
I let her in
I know deep down
That I should refuse her
But when she's there at my door
I feel a little love
I know it sounds strange but
It's hard to concentrate
When she says she feels low
She wants to come in
Before I know what I'm doing
She's in
She's a nutcase
Crazy for sure
She'll be high as a kite
When she rolls up at my door
Still I know
I should say no
When she wants to come in
She's got a smoking hot body
But you don't know where it's been
Still I do
I know that she'll just
Leave in the morning
She won't say a word as she goes
With her jet black hair
Like an advert from on telly
Tongue piercing and one in her belly
She's got a tattoo
But I shouldn't say where
Her attitude screams
She just doesn't care
Damn this girl's a devil in the making
Listen out you can hear
The hearts breaking
I think I sum it up in this song 'cause
I know it
She knows it
The girl's a nightmare!!
She's a nutcase
crazy for sure
She'll be high as a kite
When she rolls up at my door
Still I know
I should say no
When she wants to come in
She's got a smoking hot body
You don't know where it's been
You don't
You don't
You don't
You don't know where it's been
She's a nutcase
Crazy as well
She's a nightmare to go out with
But I still love her like hell

Prisoner to Guilt
03:28
|
|||
I can’t understand why
You’re still there with him now
I can’t help you leave him
You must figure out how
When we both know there’s something
That’s between us so strong
I can take it no longer
I’ve been falling so long
Feel this electricity,
Crackling like fire candy
A bolt of bright lightning looks pale…
When compared with us
I can see that you’re
Struggling to work this out
It’s right there in your
Eyes that you’re trapped
You’re a prisoner to guilt
But it’s not your fault
I’m the one that you want
You’re the one…
I can’t have
Our eye contact’s blinding
Our spark is igniting
There’s no point in fighting this now
Our feelings aligning
Emotions colliding
Our lives are entwining, break out…
Break out for us
I can see that you’re
Struggling to work this out
Think you’re set in stone, can’t break out
If you follow your head
You’ll be living a lie but in my world
You can follow your heart
I’m the one…
You can have
I can see that you’re
Struggling to work this out
It’s right there in your
Eyes that you’re trapped
You’re a prisoner to guilt
But it’s not your fault
I’m the one that you want
You’re the one…
I can’t have
I can see that you’re
Struggling to work this out
Think you’re set in stone, can’t break out
If you follow your head
You’ll be living a lie but in my world
You can follow your heart
I’m the one…
You can have

The End
04:27
|
|||
The rain is falling now
The water is warm
The dark is a blanket to me
I’m wrapped in a storm
The ground it feels hollow here
Stars black as coal
As the heavens open up
To swallow me whole
I’ve watched it burn
Lit up like raindrops in the sun
For all these years
I’m here with no-one at the end
‘Cause all I know
Is lost like diamonds set in snow
And all these dreams
Will never see this world again
A crack of thunder through me
To break my brittle bones
The cold it creeps in to me
The seeds of ice they grow
The clouds collide above
A kaleidoscope of it all
As they make the perfect circle
From run, to walk, to crawl
I’ve watched it burn
Lit up like raindrops in the sun
For all these years
I’m here with no-one at the end
‘Cause all I know
Is lost like diamonds set in snow
And all these dreams
Will never see this world again…
Ooo-oh, Ooo-oh,
Ooo-oh, Oo-oo-oo-ooh
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
Ooh, Ooh, Oo-ooh
Oh, Oh, Oh
The clouds are parting here
They leave a light
The stars are shining through
Distant and bright
The ray of hope they bring me
A hope that I’ve not known
I can feel a strength within me
The darkness overcome
Yet still we burn
Lit up like raindrops in the sun
For all these years
Are we so sure that it’s the end?
For all we know
We’ll shine like diamonds set in snow
And all our dreams
Will be forever with us again…
Ooo-oh, Ooo-oh,
Ooo-oh, Oo-oo-oo-ooh
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
Ooh, Ooh, Oo-ooh
Oh, Oh, Oh
Ooo-oh, Ooo-oh,
Ooo-oh, Oo-oo-oo-ooh
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
Ooh, Ooh, Oo-ooh
Oh, Oh, Oh
Cause still we burn
Lit up like raindrops in the sun
For all these years
Are we so sure that it’s the end?
