"Money Mile"

"Money Mile"

Into your car park drive obsolete motors
With petrol consumption at too higher price
Sell us through windows at backroom board meetings
Blindfolded and handcuffed and in single file

On your money mile
We are the faceless, the nameless, the homeless
On your money mile
There in your fortress where you couldn't care less
On your money mile
We are the caseless, the raceless, the hopeless
On your money mile
You were caught in the crossfire hauling the flag right down

Send us to battle send us to the frontline
Point us at the enemy
Lest we forget
It's for our protection that we lay here slaughtered
It's for our survival we bury our dead

On your money mile
We are the faceless, the nameless, the homeless
On your money mile
There in your fortress where you couldn't care less
On your money mile
We are the caseless, the raceless, the hopeless
On your money mile
You were caught in the crossfire hauling the flag right down

On your money mile…

"More"

"More"

It's the stain on the moon
It's your idiot name
It's the noise in the noise
The gift of the game
It's the fruit that we bear
The peach that I bore
It's you and it's me and it should have been more

It's the choice that I made
It's the maid that you chose
It's the slip in the slide
From fingers to toes
It's the song of out there
The pull of the door
It's you and it's me and it should have been more

What if I could say now, what if I could say
Everything I meant now, everything

It's only hours, only days
Sat in Libra's Bowl, where it's all, it's all, it's all
It's all, balancing

It's the black in the grate
The smoke in the sink
It's the ether that you and I
Opted to drink
It's the tooth that was chipped
On the first ever kiss
It's you and it's me and that's what it is

"My Right A.R.M."

"My Right A.R.M."

Don't be afraid of the dark my love
What would old Hobbs do with this pure heart?

Where shadows inch like rising damp
Their seaweed fingers will us all to be wakeful, oh

What a night for naming stars and parking cars
Sink into our cloud of down and sleep with me

Angel, angel, hold your head up high
In no way let God's kingdom pass you by

There's an open door and the lights are on
And all the goings on, the shouting mouths are gone

Though why should I care anyway?
I'll see your sweet face everyday and that's everything oh

A prayer that I may never find you there
Folded up in an empty room too tired to laugh at a vaulting moon

Angel, angel, hold your head up high
In no way let God's kingdom pass you by
In no way let God's kingdom pass you by

"Ne Me Quitte Pas"

"Ne Me Quitte Pas"

Ne me quitte pas
Il faut oublier
Tout peut s'oublier
Qui s'enfuit deja

Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
A savoir comment

Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
A coups de pourquoi
Le coeur du bonheur

Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

Moi je t'offrirai
Des perles de pluie
Venues de pays
Ou il ne pleut pas

Je creus'rai la terre
Jusqu' apres ma mort
Pour couvrir ton corps
D'or et de lumiere

Je f'rai un domaine
Ou l'amour s 'ra roi
Ou l'amour s' ra loi
Ou tu serais reine

Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

"Never Too Late"

"Never Too Late"

I saw a face, grey as the cold December
A face I know, not the one that I remember
I wanted to hide but I cant run out on you forever
(Milky eyes like opal stones
Staring through a stained glass window
It's never too late to change your mind
Looking through a stained glass window)
It's never too late

I know a man, couldn't change the peace that stands between us
But these open hands are empty bowls to fill
(Come for the one who pays the most
You don't get thanks for loyalty)
And all your friends, they've gone and sold you down the river
They've got your phone book now
(Once your life was a fiery feast
Now it's just a burning ember)

It's never too late
We'll get it back together
It's never too late
Release me from this sorrow

Will you never learn, love knows no bounds
Beggar or a king, it will bring you down
Fool may I be, cant give up the ghost that haunts me

I saw a face, grey as a cold December

It's never too late

"Nobody's Diary"

"Nobody's Diary"

If I wait for just a second more,
I know I'll forget what I came here for,
My head was so full of things to say,
But as I open my lips all my words slip away and anyway,
I can't believe you want to turn the page,
And move your life onto another stage,
You can change the chapter you can change the book,
But the story remains the same if you'd take a look.

For the times we've had I don't want to be - a page in your diary babe,
For the good, the bad I don't want to see - a page in your diary babe,
For the happy, the sad - I don't want to be another page in your diary.

Perhaps if I held you I could win again,
I could take your hands we'd talk and maybe then -
That look in your eyes I always recognise,
Would tell me everything is gonna be fine,
You're gonna be mine for a long time...

For the times we've had I don't want to be - a page in your diary babe,
For the good, the bad I don't want to see - a page in your diary babe,
For the happy, the sad - I don't want to be another page in your diary.

For the times we've had I don't want to be - a page in your diary babe,
For the good, the bad I don't want to see - a page in your diary babe,
For the happy, the sad - I don't want to be, just another page in your history.

"Ode To Boy"

"Ode To Boy"

When he moves I watch him from behind
He turns and laughter flickers in his eyes
Intent and direct when he speaks
I watch his lips
When he drives I love to watch his hands
White and smooth almost feminine
Almost American
I have to watch him

In his face age descends on youth
Exaggeration on the truth
He caught me looking then but soon his eyes forgot
And everything he seems to do
Reflects just another shade of blue
I saw her searching into you and ached a while

I watch his lips caress the glass
His fingers stroke its stem and pass
To lift a cigarette at last
He dries his eyes
From the shadows by the stair
I watch as he weeps unaware
That I'm in awe of his despair

"Ode To Boy II"

"Ode To Boy II"

When he moves I watch him from behind
He turns and laughter flickers in his eyes
Intent and direct when he speaks
I watch his lips

When he drives I love to watch his hands
White, smooth, almost feminine
Almost American
I love to watch him

In his face age descends on youth
Exaggeration on the truth
He caught me looking then but soon his eyes forgot me
And everything he seems to do
Reflects just another shade of blue
I saw her searching into you and ached a while

I watch his lips caress the glass
His finger stroke its stem and pass
To lift a cigarette at last
He dries his eyes
From the shadows by the stairs
I watch as he weeps unaware
That I'm in awe of his despair

In his face age descends on youth
Exaggeration on the truth
He caught me looking then but soon his eyes forgot me
And everything he seems to do
Reflects just another shade of blue
I saw her searching into you and ached a while

"One More Time"

"One More Time"

Turn the light out
Suddenly your eyes are tired
Rest on the heel of your hand
Wait for the feeling to subside
And he stirs
And even now you want him
Even in a room this blue
Here with these words in your mouth
And that's still good enough for you
It's what you do

If all that we make here is sorrow
And all that we get we just borrow
I'll still buy
So can we try
One more time.

Nobody made us
No one dragged us kicking here
If easy was on the cards
Then someone made it disappear
And he smiles
And even now you hate him
Only now he wants you to
The liberties you take
For what he won't be giving you
That's what you do

If all that we make here is sorrow
And all that we get we just borrow
I'll still but
So can we try
One more time

He turns the light on
Sits down where he watches you
Tells you he couldn't sleep
He has something to share with you
That's what we do

If all that we make here is sorrow
And all that we get we just borrow
I'll still buy
So can we try
One more Time

"Only You"

"Only You"

Looking from a window above
It's like a story of love
Can you hear me?
Came back only yesterday
I'm moving farther away
Want you near me

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you

Sometimes when I think of her name
When it's only a game
And I need you
Listen to the words that you say
It's getting harder to stay
When I see you

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you

This is going to take a long time
And I wonder what's mine
Can't take no more (can't take no more)
Wonder if you'll understand
It's just the touch of your hand
Behind a closed door

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you
