"Friday Street"

"Friday Street"



Minds alive! On Friday Street
Summerflys around my feet
And wee still stars
Are in my eyes
And mine's alive on Friday Street
A pulse goes on, on Friday Street
Time seems longer against its beat
And it's easy to remember
And it's hard to forget
That mine's alive on Friday Street
Yeh! Mine's still alive on Friday Street

And I see myself
And it seems so clear
I can walk through the world
Like I'm not really here
And I really don't care
'Cause mine's still alive on Friday Street
Lives alive on Friday Street
You start to shine in a brand new heat

And the world is clear
Like you're not really here
And I see myself
And I'm really not scared
'Cause mine's still alive on Friday Street
Mine's still alive on Friday Street
It's like plugging back in on Friday Street
May it always come alive! on Friday Street

"Frightened"

"Frightened"


I shakes and fall
Underneath my sheets
The sunlight creeping
From my head down to my feet
Telling me to rise
And face the light again

I plead to dawn
"Don't make me move"
I just want to vanish
And forget all that's true
Just one more night
And I'll be alright

[Bridge:]
Hoping to be everything you want
Wish I was the man that you thought I was
Waiting to fly up on eagles wings
But truth be told - I'm not that bold - at all

[Chorus:]
I'm more frightened
White Lightening
So sudden and blinding
Yet no more enlightened
Just a little more frightened

I'm gonna get it back
I'm gonna get it soon
I've just got to catch up
For my world to resume
To be light
And to hold you tight while you dream

And I stand alone
So does everyone
It brings us closer together
As a strange distant sum
So nar so far

[Bridge:]
Hoping to be everything you want
Wish I was the man that you thought I was
Waiting to fly up on eagles wings
But truth be told - I'm not that bold - at all

[Chorus:]
I'm just frightened
Woke up this morning like that
And all the roads that lead back
Lead me nothing that is nowhere
-Lonely

[Chorus:]
-And just a little more frightened
White Lightening
So sudden and blinding
Yet no more enlightened
Just a little more frightened

"From The Floorboards Up"

"From The Floorboards Up"



I've got a feeling
From the floorboards up
Call it a calling
If you like that touch
Call it what you will
I really don't care too much

I've got a feeling
And I know it's right
I get it most evenings
If not every night
It sings in the air
And dances like candle light

When we play, we play, we play
Mama, from the floorboards up
When we dance, we dance, we dance
Papa, from the floorboards up
When we sway, we sway as one
From the floorboards up
From the floorboards up

I get a feeling
From the walls and chairs
They tell me of the things that
Have always been there
And all that is not
Will have to go back to dust

When we play, we play, we play
Mama, from the floorboards up
When we dance, we dance, we dance
Papa, from the floorboards up
When we sway, we sway as one
From the floorboards up
From the floorboards up

I've got a feeling
And I know it's right
I get it most evenings
If not every night
It sings in the air
And dances like candle light

When we play, we play, we play
Mama, from the floorboards up
When we dance, we dance, we dance
Daddy, from the floorboards up
When we sway, we sway as one
From the floorboards up
From the floorboards up
From the floorboards up

"God"

"God"



And I looked up, and I spoke to God;
And God said:

"Look at YOU, don't look at me.
You only call on me when you need me.
And when you don't; you hardly think of me at all.
I don't enter your head for weeks at a time,
And at the times I do, they're in your despair;
That you created and not I.

And still, you look up at me in such pleading terms.
That's how I can not deny you.
Don't look at me; look at you.
DON'T look at me; look at you."

And every night I pray to God,
"Please save the lives of those I love,
And take me instead, if you really need someone,
To keep you company... On a golden chair, in the glare.

Bring your guns to the table, and recite your prayer,
Loose all your hatred, if you are to pray in there.

The temple you're seeking, is in front of your nose,
Because the message you're giving, is doing nothing for those".

Seek, and you shall find
Seek, and you shall find
The oldest is the young
The young is the oldest

The oldest is the young
The young is the oldest.

"Going Places"

"Going Places"


Come to my side child
Don't live me alone
Stay with me darling
I can't face this on my own.
I need you to be with me
I need you in life
I want to forever
Be yours and you'll be mine
Oh child
Cos' we're going places
We've never dreamt we could
Through all kinds of changes
But still our hearts beat closer more and more.
More than just a heart beat
From the city floor
More than just the bright lights
That lend me to your distant shore.
I'm keeping my head up
And out of the send
Way 'cross the rooftops
I'm gonna plan our escape
Oh child
We're going place
We've never dreamt we could
Through all kinds of changer
But still our hearts beat closer more and more [2x]

"Golden Sands"

"Golden Sands"



Try - try if you can
Try and get your back up
And off the golden sands
Try to get somewhere
That you've never been
As you sit upon the green grass
There's still so much to see
And find yourself - waiting just to fly
Fly - fly

Just what you want
Is just what you'll get
As you fall upon the real path
Or take the safer bet

You can give everything
Still none comes to you
You can hang life 'round you're neck, y'all
I may hang there too
And find myself - waiting just to fly
Fly - fly

Try - try if only for you
You can hang life 'round your neck y'all
Or you can be there too
And find yourself just waiting to fly
Fly - fly

"Grasp & Still Connect"

"Grasp & Still Connect"



I'm around 'til you just don't want me
I hope that time will never come
I'm not out to steal your money
Wanna spend my time with you

Walking through this world of wonder
I wonder if I'll ever change
I could say that I'm looking to grow
I just don't know what into

I think of all the places I wanna go
I wanna go there now with you
I think of all the places I've been too
Were just times that I wasn't with you

Walking through this world of wonder
I wonder if I'll ever change
I could say that I'm looking to grow
I just don't know what into

Grasp & still connect
Grasp & still connect
Grasp & still connect
Grasp & still connect

We're together 'til the good Lord takes us
He keeps a special eye on you
I'm not out to steal your money
Just wanna spend some time with you

Walking through this world of wonder
I wonder if I'll ever change
I could say that I'm looking to grow
I just don't know what into

Grasp & still connect
Grasp & still connect
Grasp & still connect
...

"Green"

"Green"



Take off - unearthing
Inside... green

Green - Green
Temples - Lens
Your secret guide
I'll be backing
Hip young breed

Glam - liner
They're great!
They're still with us

Fire escape solutions,
Require time
And a chance to relax

Fake it - Take it
Leave it - Thieve it

Great things
With small techniques
Maximize your life!

Green safety! - Green

"Has My Fire Really Gone Out?"

"Has My Fire Really Gone Out?"



And if I open my eyes - will it then be morning?
First rays of summer sun - coming down and shining
And if I open my heart and say all that you would want
Hope, Faith and all I believe will be there to greet me

And put an end to all your doubts
Has my fire really really gone out?

Has my fire really gone out?

And if I open my head, remember all that we said
Hey baby what will you find - coming down to meet you?

A lot of words but with no one talking
I don't want no part of that
Something real is what I'm seeking
One clear voice in the wilderness

Has my fire really gone out?

Put an end to all your doubts - yeah
Has my fire really really gone out?

Oh, put an end to all your doubts - yeah
Has my fire really really gone out?

And if I open my eyes - will it then be morning?
First rays of summer sun - coming down and shining
And if I open my heart and say all that you would want
Hope, Faith and all I believe will be there to greet me

Something real is what I'm seeking
One clear voice in the wilderness.

"Have You Made Up Your Mind"

"Have You Made Up Your Mind"



The smoke rings running through your hair,
There's a look in your eyes.
I see a glimpse of smile on your face,
But I know that smile ain't mine.

Our fool begins (our fool begins)

They say everything has a place and time
But this ain't one of those times.
I feel there's something in the air
I just don't know why, I don't know why.

What a fool I've been
What a fool I've been

Have you made up your mind? (made up your mind)
Have you made up my mind for me? (made up your mind)
Have you made up your mind? (made up your mind)
Have you made up my mind for me?
So easily.

There's a love-light breaking through the door,
Where will I be when morning comes?
I feel it; feel it in my bones,
Just don't know where my feet will go.

What a fool I've been
Oh, what a fool I've been
Have you made up your mind? (made up your mind)
Have you made up my mind for me? (made up your mind)
Have you made up your mind? (made up your mind)
Have you made up my mind for me?

They say there's a time and place for everything
But this ain't one of those times.

What a fool I've been
Oh, what a fool I've been

Have you made up your mind? (made up your mind)
Have you made up my mind for me? (made up your mind)
Have you made up your mind? (made up your mind)
Have you made up my mind for me?

So easily
So easily

(made up your mind) Have you made up your mind, baby?
(made up your mind) Have you made up your mind...
