Shame
I don’t need survival If I’m gonna get through
I’ll just kill my rival, put the blame on you
Since the 6th April there’s been no more sorrow
But it will return I know tomorrow
Don’t need to think about you If I’m gonna survive
Don’t need to be around you to stay alive
You’re everything I needed ‘til you lied in my face
I wasn’t comfortably seated when I fell from grace
Chorus
Will you ever see me trying to believe in a winter so cold?
Trying not to breathe the air that you believe in
The things that you’re told
Isn’t it a shame we’re crying all the same to live way back then
Lost you’re little game when hate and trouble came
I won’t cry again
Don’t need to dream about you if I want to smile
Don’t need to hear you talking, well, not for a while
I know I’m talking rubbish, will my feelings return?
I always feel the same, when will I learn?
Chorus 2
I could never hear you saying nothing new in a summer so cold
I could never sing every little thing and the things I’ve been told
I will not regret, things I can’t forget, that happened back then
I wish we’d never met, then I wouldn’t fret, I think I will cry again
(Living for tomorrow in impossible ways
Reliving all my sorrow in only 3 more days)

Before the fall
Walking alone on a cold misty night
I wonder what you’re doing tonight
Chorus
You're with him you're not with me
In your arms where I always want to be
I open the door once more I’m home
Sit down should I pick up the phone
If I spend my life
Playing your game
When I lose
Then who do I blame?
When do I choose?
Do I just sing the blues?
You're having a good time
I'm alone but that's no crime
Pride comes before a fall
Chorus 2
I saw you one last time
But you said you'd never be mine
Pride comes before the fall
But you don't love me at all

Gone (to end with you)
I forget some words you say
Drag the past from yesterday
And make it real
I could mime the memories
And take myself at ease
And die for real
Nothing you could say could end it
(Nothing) in the headlines reads
(No one) turned to aid the dying man
(No one) can stop the bleeding
You don't know the half of it
Say 'go' until it fits
Into your way of life
You can't dream of ways to live
So I could never live
Without your light
Fight the good fight never wins!
Lose the battle won for you
(Heart) broken in the wind
(Choose) a way to end with you

If I Knew Then (2004)
05:40
|

If I knew then
The last train has gone now
And there’s next to no chance for a cab at all
I know where I’ve got to head to
There’s only one place that picks me up when I fall
Time can’t be rewound it only moves forward on
(It moves on)
Wasted so much in the past find my light when I know it’s gone
(oh, it’s gone)
Sorry ain’t a word that comes easy to an angry heart like mine
Especially now that I realise that I ain’t got a friend in time
Chorus
If I knew then, what I know now
Would I have walked a different way?
If I knew then, what I know now
Would I be where I am today?
Well these lights go out now and the world puts itself on pause
I guess I gotta think about how I move on
No good thinking about rewind or befores
Time waits for no man, slips through your hands like grains of sand
It’s taken me a little while to comprehend but now I understand
I either gotta press forward on my road or try to get off this train
No matter which way I got planned
There’s always joy as well as pain
Would another corner have led to somewhere true?
I guess I have to wonder, if only I knew…

Found
Whose was the last voice I heard?
Who said the unspoken word?
I never knew I could hate
I never knew just how late
Which way did I see the wind blow?
Which way? Oh, I don’t know
Now I know I must forget her
Before my conscience slips under
GONE? FOUND?
I think I know you
LOST? HERE?
I thought I knew you
Echoes of the real thing
The only words that we can sing
Now I start to cry
See my life well it’s rushing by
Your vision in my mind speaks to me
The only thing that I can see
What is it you want from me?
Making sense of sexuality

New Fear (1996)
03:57
|

New fear
Do I speak a foreign language?
'Cause what I say, it ain't so strange
So why do you ignore me? LOVE!
Do I seem a different person?
Like a snail without a shell
Why do the ones who saw me LOVE?
New fear, not another dread to feel
New fear, not another bed to sleep in
New doubt, nobody else to talk to
Without love would I survive alone?
Are you the same girl? Or did you change?
Why do I need you? LOVE
Do you believe in the feelings I made?
Why did I need you? LOVE!
Did I hide behind a window? Did I run from my mind?
Or did I just give up? (on) LOVE?
Could I smile and make the grass grow?
Could I cry until I find
Someone to make me give up (on) LOVE?
Will I feel another heartbeat living next to mine?
Before another break up? (LOVE)
Will I have another nightmare, taking all my time?
To release another Fear (LOVE)

The Longest Day (2011)
03:45
|
|||
The longest day
It was the middle of June
Two promises made, arms open wide
First time in 44 days
I felt that burning inside
She came in and sat by the window
She asked what I was doing there
I hadn't noticed the key change
Conversation taking us everywhere
Something I'll keep forever
Something I'll never give away
Burning this soul together
On this, the longest day
Sitting in a glass house
And she's throwing the stones
We're looking at my shoes
It's the end of being alone
She hasn't heard of 'starting something'
But she's into all that
I haven't laughed like this forever
And I'll keep coming back

Ghost town
The Immortal can breathe
Why can’t we?
All the days we have seen
Cut me and I will bleed
I can’t hide in this place
I need to hide from your face
Bored and tired from the chase
Forgotten most of our yesterdays
Where are we when we all fall down?
Lost my way in the old Ghost Town
Making plans for what will be
Empty hands bring the past back to me
Young and old, it’s all the same
Teach yourself not to take the blame
Sorry but I forgot your name
I called for you but no one came
Blind was the man who laughed
He couldn’t see what we had done
Was it real or just a dream
You hold the gun

Boom! (1996)
04:01
|
|||
BOOM!
This is the story of what love did to me
I'm not into 'feelings'
They won't let me be
Claims I made became the cause of fear
Denial of truth
Revealing one silver tear
BOOM! Another little aspect
BOOM! Broke another friendship
BOOM! Lost all respect
BOOM! For you
This is the story of what love made me do
I can tell a story but it'll be all about you
I'M NOT LONELY!
I'M NOT ALONE!
I'm up but grounded
Like the sound of the broken telephone
This is how it sounded
