30 Years of Urban Fox

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) Lyrics/Music – Nuttall :10/11/95

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 Lyrics – Ian Forbes Music – Peter Nuttall 8/12/95

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 Music – Nuttall/Forbes 26/2/97 Lyrics – Nuttall 2/3/97 00:06:12

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… Lyrics – Douglas Hunter Music – Peter Nuttall 14/10/04

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 Lyrics/Music – Peter Nuttall 11/12/95

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) Lyrics/Music – Peter Nuttall 31/7/96 3:50:09 pm

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 Lyrics/Music – Peter Nuttall 21st/24th Jan 2011

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 Lyrics/Music - Peter Nuttall 5/3/95

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 Lyrics/Music – Peter Nuttall 19/7/96
