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…

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

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

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

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...

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

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?
