A Fear of Falling Under

Deep into the water deep into the dark.  Deep into the places stories have to start.
Peel open the layers go in for the kill. Bite into the onion taste it for the thrill.
I’ve got a fear of falling under. Underneath a dream.
A fear of diving too deep. Deep beneath the seams.
I’ve got a fear of falling under. Underneath a spell.
A fear of what the truth sees. Secrets I will tell.
Reach into a top hat. Reach in all alone.
Reach in for a rabbit come up with a stone.
Searching for pieces. Pieces left behind.
Discarded moments in the junkyard of my mind.
I’ve got a fear of falling under. Underneath a dream.
A fear of diving too deep. Deep beneath the seams. I’ve got a fear of falling under.
Underneath a spell. A fear of what the truth sees.
Secrets I will tell. What came first?
Love, hurt? Love, hurt? Oh, what came first?

Who Would Have Thought?

Nobody told you that a heart is like a deep, deep freeze. So many lies, so much of it broken.
Nobody told you deep within a well so cavernous, That maybe I could shed some light on.
Who would have thought it could be amazing? Who would have thought the tiny courageous?
Who would have thought that love so belated could save me? And bring me back to you?
Nobody told you there’d be days of silence that no one heard. A river swells and overwhelms you.
Nobody told you deep within a heart so ravenous, That maybe I could spare a beat for.
Who would have thought it could be amazing? Who would have thought the tiny courageous?
Who would have thought that love so belated could save me?And bring me back to you?
I had to find you had to let you know that you weren’t alone, that we didn’t make the rules.
I had to find you had to get right back to you. I had to find you had to let you know that you weren’t alone, that we didn’t make the rules.
I had to find you had to get right back to you. It’s always been you. Now tell me.Who would have thought it could be this amazing?
Who would have thought the tiny courageous? Who would have thought that love so belated could save me?And bring me back to you?


Waking the Monster

The professor is building something extraordinary. From the first signs well I knew he would hide it from me.
Clang, clang, rattle and buzz. There’s a helicopter blade and a bit of a truck he’s got.
No more quality time to be Going on adventures spending mornings on Black Heath.
Using a ouija Board. Or finding hidden places that had never been sought.
I pray. Origami full of grace. The professor is mad and he’s working a feverish pace.
Diabolical, delicious things. Something is bad and it’s something within me.
Do you know? Do you know? What is he building in there?
Gotta know. Gotta see. What is he building in there?
Gotta know. Gotta be. Something destructively daring.
Disastardly. It’s got the best of me. The professor is building all kinds of devilish devices.
Won’t part with singular bit of enlightenment.
Bang, crash, glitter and bug. There’s a phonographic needle and stereo heart he’s got.
No plans to make an announcement. No preliminary sketches or advice to impart to me.
One once of jealousy. 57 gallons juvenile delinquency. Super supremacy.
Got to find the answer. Got to fashion a skeleton key. Diabolical, delicious deeds.
Something is bad and it’s shrouded in secrecy. Do you know? Do you know?
What is he building in there? Gotta know. Gotta see. What is he building in there?
Gotta know. Gotta be. Something destructively daring. Disastardly.It’s got the best of me.
(quote from ‘H G Wells’ ‘The Time Machine’)“There are really four dimensions,
Three, which we call the three planes of Space, and a fourth, Time.”
The professor is building something extraordinary. Behind bars and a door he won’t open for me.
Kind words and a barrel of a gun Will make him come to grips. Make him face up to what he has done.
Do you know? Do you know? What is he building in there? Gotta know. Gotta see.
What is he building in there? Gotta know. Gotta be Something destructively daring.
Disastardly. It’s got the best of me.

How To Build A Time Machine

If I have understood correctly velocity equals the distance travelled divided by time.
I've read every word ever printed on quantum physics and now it is time to try.
I read your book, I found your notes, I dusted this thing off and turned on the key.
The rumbling motors, the buzzing incredible gadgets, the hissing electricity.
And now, the moment has come. I’m travelling back in time. They're running down the hall.
I've started the countdown. They want me to stop. But I don't think so.I'm ready to go.
Let's get the job done! Beyond the paradoxical all the lights are dazzling.
Past the planes and trains and satellite navigation. Past the time I spent today through the nearest wormhole.
In a stunning ball of white the light explodes and lands on you. And you're five.
Always running away when I was dying to kiss you and I, I don't want to cry, I don't want to see where the moving van takes you
so I travel on. Beyond the stars. At one hundred and eighty six thousand miles per second I can fly.
Forward a few years, to nineteen hundred and seventy nine I caught a glimpse of the sky.
They’re coming down the road. They're coming to get me. I never should have come.
I hide the time machine. I'm running down the hall. I think I'm at my old house.
Past the place where I grew up. Number 9 Lake Road. Past the swimming pool and Mabel Park and past Troy Clifford's house.
To the Argonaut. To the fish and chip shop. Out the back and down the road and to the place I got beat up.
Hey! Put that rock down! Can't you see he's half your size? Hey! He looks familiar. Oh my God it's me aged nine!
Put your shoes on and run away from here. I can't get involved this is all so weird. I'm meeting myself this is all so clear.
All the things I lost. All the people I hurt. All the times I lied. All the moments wasted.
All I never did. All the dreams I had. All the things I would change. I can change them.
All the things I lost. All the people I hurt.All the times I lied. All the moments wasted.
I'm gonna make right what I made wrong and change how the future has gone.
Through appliance of science I'll take hold of my enemies. Take their obscenities.
Kiss them and leave them like lovers who've gone. I'll call my dad, I'll tell him I miss him and tell my reflection it's not your fault.
And now the moment has come. I’m travelling back in time. They're running down the hall. I've started the countdown.
They want me to stop. But I don't think so. I'm ready to go. Let's get the job done! Put your shoes on and run away from here.
I can't get involved this is all so weird. Oh my God it's me aged 9! Let's get the job done! All the things I lost. All the people I hurt.
All the times I lied. All the moments wasted. All I never did. All the dreams I had. All the things I would change. I can change them.
Beyond the paradoxical all the lights are dazzling. Past the planes and trains and satellite navigation. Past the time I spent today through the nearest wormhole. In a stunning ball of white the light explodes into another moment


Casey

Driving in your car with the windows down and a beat up stereo. Struggle with this town because you love to hate it but hate to let it go.
And we’re all alone and so tired of being underrated. So don’t take me home because I feel alive when you come and save me.
A yellow car speeding down the south side freeway We’ll rewrite this movie, make it end like we want it to.
And Casey when you go. Can you come and find me? Want to be beside you when you leave this town.
I’ll be waving goodbye pretending not to cry. I want to be someone. If you take me away all the pain will change into a memory of when we were amazing.
1989 Summer had hit but it was not moving.What is it with this town?
Every time we win it just feels like losing. And we were never going to fit in.
I was a mixed up kid and you were my sanity in a yellow car.We don’t even have to go far.
Because that song you’re playing sounds like peace on the radio.
And Casey when you go. Can you come and find me? Want to be beside you when you leave this town.
I’ll be waving goodbye pretending not to cry. I want to be someone.
If you take me away all the pain will change into a memory of when we were amazing.
I know things will change but Casey stay the same. Take me away. We don’t have to go far.
Casey when you go. Can you come and find me? Want to be beside you when you leave this town.
I’ll be waving goodbye pretending not to cry. I want to be someone.If you take me away all the pain will change into a memory of when we were, Of when we were. Casey when you go. Can you come and find me? Want to be beside you when you leave this town.
I’ll be waving goodbye pretending not to cry. I want to be someone. If you take me away all the pain will change into a memory of when we were amazing. Driving in your car with the windows down and a beat up stereo. I wanna, I’m gonna, I want to be someone. I wanna, I’m gonna, I want to be someone. I will run to you. I will come to you. I will run to you. I will come to you. She’s coming to get me. She’s coming to rescue me. Coming through the sky like a satellite, like a radio wave, a meteorite.

Step Into The Light

I have turned away from you and I am Godless. A wasteland of poison. A hidden fortress.
I have blackened out the stars and hidden frequencies. I have silenced all the waves and forbidden secrecies.
To step into your light. This dog doesn’t bite you know. I just want to be your friend. You know I’ve never been in love before.
I’ve never been in love before. There is nothing of you now. No ghost. No not a trace. No flower not a seed nor perfume in your place.
I have searched amidst a barren plane of emptiness. And I am worthless. It is futile. You’re invisible. I am infantile.
Step into the light y’all. This dog doesn’t bite y’all. Just wanna be your friend. You know I’ve never been in love before.
I’ve never been in love before. I have murdered the divine in me. Set the Godness free. I have squandered it all.
I am less than the sum. I am parts of a hole. There is something missing. There is something I stole.Why’ve you forsaken me?
Where do you hide? I feel the betrayal. It simmers it blisters. It digs down and burrows deeper inside. The more than I try I cannot deny it.
It feels like. It feels like. It feels like I’ve never been in love before. It feels like. It feels like. It feels like love. Step into the light y’all.
This dog doesn’t bite y’all. Just wanna be your friend. You know that I’ve never been in love before. So step into the light y’all.
You know this dog doesn’t bite y’all.  Take hold of my hand. You know that I’ve never been in love before.



Sing To Me

You step behind a curtain in a moment you were gone. No nothing’s ever certain and it’s hard to carry on.
This is not what we planned and I know it’s hard to understand but, If this is what you want then.
If this is what you need pry my fingers from your hand. Maybe it’s just meant to be.
Maybe you’ll find a way to haunt me, come back and sing a melody to me.
Maybe we’re just lost at sea. Maybe I’m holding on to driftwood and I’ll be alright if you could
Sing to me. Sing to me.You step beneath a landslide. Nothing feels right when you’re wrong.
And try to find an upside, try to sing without a song. This is not what we planned and I know it’s hard to understand but,
If this is what you want then. Maybe it’s just meant to be. Maybe you’ll find a way to haunt me, come back and sing a melody to me.
Maybe I’m just lost at sea. Maybe I’m holding on to driftwood and I’ll be alright if you could Sing to me.
Sing to me.  I keep seeing flashes of your hands when I close my eyes and I don’t know why.
And I don’t know why. Help me make sense of what I don’t understand because I’ve got to know why.
I’ve got to know why. Tell me why do you sing to me? Maybe it’s just meant to be,That you would sing to me.
Maybe I’m just lost at sea. Could you come sing to me? Maybe it’s just meant to be. Maybe we’re just lost at sea.
Would you come sing for me?  Sing for me.

A Conversation With God

We're driving. Just me and God. It's raining. It's raining hard. The windows are steaming up.
The bridge engulfed by fog. The rust of the metal bridge. It beckons. It pulls me in.
I argue. I scream at God and what he's offering. And my hands fly off the steering wheel.
Can’t recall getting here. If I could I would reach behind and turn my light off.
My thoughts run off the beaten track. There's no lighthouse or way back.
Take the hand of God and bite the feeder. No more lingering.
I'm driving. I talk to God. He's screaming. I only nod.
I need to be where you are. The leaves and trees are shaking.It's raining.
The bullets melt. The hunger of hunger itself. It's draining but pain has reservoirs it keeps for itself.
And my hands fly off the steering wheel. Can’t recall getting here. If I could I would reach behind and turn my light off.
My thoughts run off the beaten track. There's no lighthouse or way back. Take the hand of God and bite the feeder.
No more lingering. I'm falling I’m not in myself. I'm diving. I'm underneath. The hull of a mighty ship that steams away from here.
The bubbles. The surface race. They shine and they replicate. I hear it. The voice of God is laced with sarcasm in your hands.
And my thoughts run off the beaten track. There's no lighthouse or way back. Take the hand of God and bite the feeder.
No more lingering. My hands fly off the steering wheel. Can’t recall getting here. If I could I would reach behind and turn my light off.


The Sun Is Always Blinding Me

From the top of a church on a hill, To the tip of a dragonfly wing. From the shine off the hood of a cab,
To a shimmering diamond within on a ring that was worn through two world wars.
From a smile that soars though it’s old and worn. And two blue eyes forever seeming cold.
The sun is always blinding me with her light. The day is always hiding behind the night.
And one day everybody will be alright. Go on blinding me with her light. From the glare of a red traffic light,
To the blur of a bicycle wheel. From the flare of a camera lens, To a fluorescent light that ignites and displays someone leaving a goodbye note.
From a pen made of steel and reflection of hope. And to some words to stir an aching soul. The sun is always blinding me with her light.
The day is always hiding behind the night. And one day everybody will be alright.
Go on blinding me with her light from a fire that burns In the darkest well of a cave, so enslaved, I can hear her yell.
I can tell this bird just wants to be free. So set her free.And if this world should ever leave you cold.
The sun is always blinding me with her light.The day is always hiding behind the night.And one day everybody will be alright.
Go on blinding me with her light. It’s gonna be alright.


Listen All You People

Listen all you people. All you lonely and deserted. The departed and the broken hearted.
I've got time for you. You can call your friends For we're headed on a journey.
All the lonely the mad. All the bad apple sad got a message for you. Nothing's peaches and cream.
Nothing's quite what it seems. They've been lying to you. All you unhappy wives.
All you pregnant brides. All you geeks and you queens. All you sick and you poor.
All the drunks on the floor. Well I'm calling to you. Listen all you people.All you lonely and deserted.
The departed and the broken hearted. I've got time for you
You can call your friends For we're headed on a journey.We’ve been held down.
We’ve been pushed down now we’re through. All the freaks all the queers.
All the phobes and the steers. Well it's time to give in. There's a crack in the door.
It's ok to want more you've been dying for years. All the races you lost.
All the loveless that cost you the heart on your sleeve. All the stifled reactions.
The screams you’ve been acting like no one can hear you. Listen all you people.
All you lonely and deserted. The departed and the broken hearted. I've got time for you.
Sending out a message Gotta get to you. Sending out a message Is it coming through?
Listen all you people are you lonely and deserted? Listen all you people are you lonely and deserted?
We’ve been held down. We’ve been pushed down now we’re through.Listen all you people are you lonely and deserted?


The Only One

In a world so cynical you came in and changed the bulb from black to white. And made me right.
This is all atypical. No one else has had the time to read the signs.
You are the only one. No one else can keep me from the danger of myself.
You keep me stronger.  You are the only one. And now I love you even more than I did before.
I’ve got such a jealous side. Reaching out I try to hide my infant stride. And in my mind this is all so prototype.
I make it wrong to make it feel right, you don’t deny it. Cause you are the only one.
No one else can keep me from the danger I possess.You keep me stronger .
You are the only one. And now I love you even more than I did before.
When they make the call for one last drink. When my self esteem sinks below
And when no one knows it. When the colours all collide inside and I can barely hide.
You are the only one. No one else can keep me from the danger of myself.
You keep me stronger. You are the only one. And now I love you even more there is no other.
No one else I place above you. You are the only one. And now I love you even more than I did before.
 

Bombs Up In My Face

Now everybody's beautiful when they're young. And I should know. I’ve had more than my share of fun.
There’s all this fascination. With the impossibly thin. With the surface of things.
Airbrush Photoshop creation.  In all that we are losing aren't we just confusing youth with beauty?
Truth with duty? There’s something on the telly ‘bout North Korea. Some war broke out don’t trust the media.
I’d like to get a suntan. Some dude was shot in Pakistan. The track’s got noddage. Moves my bodagage.
The track’s got noddage. The track’s got noddage.
They’ve got those bombs up in the planes. They’ve got those bombs up in the trains.
They’ve got those bombs up in my face. Don’t want to talk about it.
They’ve got those bombs up in the planes. They’ve got those bombs up in the trains.
They’ve got those bombs up in my face. Don’t want to talk about it.
I was walking through the city past a phone shop And a homeless man was lying there looked almost dead and no one seemed to bother.
I ran into rock and roll band, two or three of them, maybe four(?). This one punk just nineteen years old he gave me his persuasion.
He stared at me with his one black eye. Looked down at me like I didn’t have a life.
And he was right, at least not the kind of life he’d been paradin’. Same sex union.
Change the constitution. You can carry a gun. But you better not fall in love with someone.
The President who fucked the world for every future boy and girl Is golfing in Aruba.
With a suntan. And scuba. The track’s got noddage. Moves my boddage.
The track’s got noddage.Moves my boddage. They’ve got those bombs up in the planes.
They’ve got those bombs up in the trains. They’ve got those bombs up in my face.
Don’t want to talk about it. They’ve got those bombs up in the planes. They’ve got those bombs up in the trains.
They’ve got those bombs up in my face. Don’t want to talk about it. Now everybody dies or fades away.
A permutation white and grey. A synergy of light and dust and skin cells constantly aging.
You fell in love with the dream to fuck forever endlessly.  But you don’t.
And that’s o.k. The rest is better anyway. Botox bungle CNN. Infomercial count to ten.
Change the channel VCR. Something’s on my radar. The track’s got noddage.
Moves my boddage. The track’s got noddage.
They’ve got those bombs up in the planes. They’ve got those bombs up in the trains.
They’ve got those bombs up in my face. Don’t want to talk about it.
They’ve got those bombs up in the planes. They’ve got those bombs up in the trains.
They’ve got those bombs up in my face.Don’t want to talk about it.


The Great Big Disconnect

You got God if you pay for it. You got sex if you pray for it And those ever-elusive weapons of mass destruction.
You got Jesus with the palest skin. You had Lennon but you wasted him. I got sleeping pills that will make you wanna to call your mamma.
Because everyone’s keeping their love far away. Everyone’s keeping their love far away.
You got phones with 3D eyes. And you’re lonely but you don’t know why. Somebody just killed a man and I forgot to moisturise.
You got Aids in Africa. You got Paris in a new sports bra.You got therapists to justify your behaviour.
And everyone’s keeping their love far away. Everyone’s keeping their love far away And I love drug companies,
So full of generosity. Had something else to say but it must have slipped my mind. It must have slipped my mind.
So write another love song and pretend that nothing’s wrong. And if a feeling comes just call me in the morning.
And everyone’s keeping their love far away. Everyone’s keeping their love far away.


The Future Holds A Lion’s Heart

When I first escaped the city of York and leapt out of this cage. No silicon chip could sublimate or tame this temptuous rage.
When my heart was in athe attic like The Picture of Dorian Gray. I was rescued by the enemy
That dare not speak it's name. Say hello to your future. I'm just pleased to meet you.
You were a million miles away. Say hello to your lion's heart. Queen Victoria's England Will never ever be the same.
Giddyup! When I left the warm surroundings of my selfish difficult stage. When our eyes first met there was déjà vu and feeling I could not shake. Then when gravity seduced me and drew me to this place.I could swear we were together in an entirely different age.
Say hello to your future. I'm just pleased to meet you. You were a million miles away.  Say hello to your lion's heart. Queen Victoria's England
Will never ever be the same. So wonderfully good looking With fine and delicate lines. If I place this face in carbon freeze It will never be affected by time. She said, "Don't confuse your beauty With the insolence of youth. You can move through time in one direction.
Sad, but it's the truth". But it took so long to meet you. But it took so long to meet you. It's time to go. It's time to leave.You should never have come. Get back to the craft. Get back to your age. Take somebody with you. Giddyup! Say hello to your future. I'm just pleased to meet you.
You were a million miles away. Say hello to your lion's heart. Queen Victoria's England Will never ever be the same.

On The Verge Of Something Wonderful

A serpent, a rabbit a walk in a forest. A tentative looking son. A feeling, a moment a bursting of bubbles.
A panic to overcome. A samurai, an angel. An etiquette table, an A/C that does not work.
A road trip, a car wreck, a paper back novel. A lover who aint been hurt.When you let me go.
When I’m on my way. When the world below. Is cold and grey. On the verge of, On the verge of something wonderful.
A resurgence, On the edge of something wonderful. For it, against it, said he never meant it. But Harry still dropped the bomb.
A trip to the dentist. The Hollywood black list. A moment that time forgot. When you let me go. When I’m on my way.
When the world below. Is cold and grey. On the verge of, On the verge of something wonderful.
At the edge of, On the verge of something wonderful. Well you can walk in the devil’s shoes If you like walking in heels.
And there’s a decent living to be made in the selling out of ideals. You can lose your way in the big city.
Get distracted and lost in being pretty. I want you. I need you. I don’t wanna please you. Or belong to anyone.
But life is for leading. For not people pleasing. A race that has never been won. When you let me go.
When I’m on my way. When the world below. Is cold and grey. On the verge of something wonderful.
At the edge of, On the verge of something wonderful. I’m on the verge of, On the verge of something wonderful.
A resurgence, On the edge of something wonderful.


Neverland

Long ago when Mercury descended high on the moon.
Far below where little hands are making shapes in the room.
The shadows they dance and they cheer up this place.
The face that’s staring through a tiny crack in the door.
Eyes so wide he’s never seen a woman fall on the floor.
I swear daddy’s killed her this time.
Should I make a rocket?
Should I try to fly away?
Should I make a hammer?
Should I try to smash his face?
Should I make a bullet?
Should I try to shoot the gun?
I’m sure the judge will let me off real soon.

Long ago when Saturn tried to find a way past the sun.
Deep inside a little boy is turning pain into fun.
The pencils the crayons the paint colours run.
The plans are forming slowly made with scissors with glue.
Eyes so wide he’s telling mummy all the things he can do.
He’ll sketch a contraption to save them for sure.
He can draw an alien.
He can come and take them home.
He can draw a cartoon.
He can draw a safety hatch.
He can draw a hot bath.
He can plug a toaster in and wait ‘till daddy’s nice and warm
And toss it in.
And then when he’s gone there’s a Neverland of fun.

Take a loaded gun.
Take a shot of rum.
Take a poison rat.
There’s a lesson in that.
No more closing fists.
No more face to hit.
No more bloody nose or apologetic roses.

Long ago when Mercury descended high on the moon.
Should I make a rocket?
Should I try to fly away?
Far below little hands are making shapes in the room.
Should I make a hammer?
Should I try to smash his face?
Long ago when Saturn tried to find a way past the sun.
Should I draw a cartoon?
Should I draw an alien?
Deep inside a little boy is turning pain into fun.
Should a draw a hot bath?
Should I throw the toaster in


Walk Away


I have been angry for so long I let you know.
Should have walked away when I was young I let you go.
I turned away but maybe I was wrong.
I’ve been polishing blame for so long now,
My pride and joy.
A bit of tragedy never hurt.
Somehow this man became a boy.
You took the blame but maybe I was wrong

Walk away now and be gone.
You don’t have to want to go on.
I can see it’s killing you.
You don’t always have to be so strong for me.
Every angel had dirty hands.
Even Judas planned to just carry on.
Just picking up the pieces of what lies behind those sorrowful eyes.
You can walk away.

You had been silent for so long I let the world know.
I turned a bit of my pain into a song.
Then carried on.
You took my shame but maybe that was wrong.

Walk away now and be gone.
You don’t have to want to go on,
Even when they’re killing you.
You don’t always have to be so strong for me.
Every angel had dirty hands.
Even Judas planned to just carry on.
Just picking up the pieces of what lies behind those sorrowful eyes.
You can walk away now and be strong.
Well I know you can carry on.
Walk away now and be gone.
You don’t have to want to carry all the pain inside you.
Because the blood in me is your blood every time I fall.

Walk away now and be gone,
Even when it’s killing you.
You don’t always have to be so strong for me.
Walk away now and be gone.
You know even Judas planned to just carry on.
Still picking up the pieces of what lies behind those sorrowful eyes.
You can walk away now and be strong.
You don’t have to carry on.
Walk away now and be strong.
You don’t have to want to go on.

Walk away now and be strong.
You don’t have to want to go on.
Walk away.
Walk away now.
Walk away now.
You don’t have to go on.
You don’t have to be strong.
Walk away now.
You can walk away.


Maybe

Maybe you're gone.
You had to get out of here.
It's easy to get lost in fear.
But maybe now the weight has lifted you're sailing through the air.

Making your way.
A travelling acrobat.
You’re putting on your bowler hat.
Speeding through the atmosphere
Past planes and meteorites.

Maybe you're gone maybe you're lost somewhere.
Floating in outer space.
A radio wave tuning into some secret place I've never been.
Leaving your heart beating in fragile hands.
And nobody understands.
Maybe you’re gone.
Maybe you are finally coming home.

Maybe the end is the beginning.
The game is no fun when you're winning.
The pool is empty unless you’re swimming and trying to keep afloat.

Maybe you stayed just a little while.
The party was over but you realised that memory makes you immortalised.
You end when you're beginning.

Maybe you're gone maybe you're lost somewhere.
Floating in outer space.
A radio wave tuning into some secret place I've never been.
Leaving your heart beating in fragile hands.
And nobody understands.
Maybe you’re gone.
Maybe you are finally coming home.

All the lights shine above you they become a part of you.
All the earth seems so tiny in your hands.
All the stars move inside you.
All the pain, well that’s behind you.
All secrets will blind you.
Understand?

Maybe you had to get out of here.
Maybe you lost your way down here.
Maybe you've found a shinier star.
A shinier star.
Leaving your heart beating in fragile hands.
And nobody understands.
Maybe you’re gone.
Maybe you are finally coming home.


Me, Myself and (i)

I'm kinda reeling.
Déjà vu feeling.
We've been together in another life.
Got me extended.
That network's ended.
The future echoes with your memory.
Now darlin’ I don't know what the future will bring
But I am willing sing till I drop.
Now baby I don't know how it happened to be
But when we met it was like future shock.

Tell me what to do.
Me myself and (i)
Gonna take a time machine to get it right.
And it's so cruel.
I wanna take you home.
I'm gonna speed those hands of time right up
So I don't leave here all alone.
Woo Hoo!

The death of romance.
Thought there was no chance.
Then you appeared right in front me.
I got to thinking.
Loneliness sinking.
I felt a cloud lifting over me.
Now darlin’ I don't know what the future will hold
But I'm not willing to do as I'm told.
Now baby I don't care how it happened to be
I see my future is right before me.

Tell me what to do.
Me myself and (i)
Gonna take a time machine to get it right.
And it's so cruel.
I want to take you home.
I'm gonna speed those hands of time right up
So I don't leave here all alone.
Woo Hoo!
Woo Hoo!
Woo Hoo!

Did you ever get the feeling that universe is leaning
It's accelerating it will never stop?
Did you ever wonder if the number one divide by zero
Is infinity if that's the case then what?
If imaginary numbers are abstractions of the real thing
Then could someone make the clock of time stop.
If we were always meant to be together like forever then it
Must have been a future shock.

I don't know what the future will bring but I am willing to sing 'till I drop.

What to do?
Me myself and (i).
Gonna take a time machine to get it right.
And it's so cruel.
I wanna take you home.
I'm gonna speed those hands of time right up
So I don't leave here all alone.
Woo Hoo!


Lucky Town

This time I’ll try to love again.
I’ll never lose you my friend.
I’ll be there until the end forever.
This time I’ll take the happy pill.
I’ll chew off more than I can spill.
And play until you stay forever.

But nobody said it would be easy now.
We live in a lucky town.
But the foundations are shaking the bridges are breaking in two.
Nobody said it would be easy now.
I don’t want to let you down.
But my heart is alight it’s alright ‘cause it’s burning for you
And it burns right through.

This time I’ll try to make believe.
I’ll wear my heart upon my sleeve.
Just take it when you leave it’s better.
This time I’ll be the better man.
I know the world will understand.
Greatness is overrated you’ll see.

But nobody said it would be easy now.
We live in a lucky town.
But the foundations are shaking the bridges are breaking in two.
Nobody said it would be easy now.
I don’t want to let you down.
But my heart is alight it’s alright ‘cause it’s burning for you
And it burns right through.

This time I’ll try to love again.
This time I’ll never lose you my friend.
I’ll stay until the end
Forever and ever and ever.

But nobody said it would be easy now.
We live in a lucky town.
But the foundations are shaking the bridges are breaking in two.
Nobody said it would be easy now.
I don’t want to let you down.
But my heart is alight it’s alright ‘cause it’s burning for you.

Nobody said it would be easy now.
We live in a lucky town.
But my heart is on fire and the bridges are burning for you.
Nobody said it would be easy now.
But my heart is on fire and you know it’s alright ‘cause it’s burning for you.
Nobody said it would be easy now.
We live in a lucky town.


I Just Want You To Love Me

I don’t want someone telling me what to do.
I don’t want to find out my temper grew wings and flew to you.
Don’t want somebody telling me what’s not right.
But I just want you to love me.
Oh I just want you to love me.

I don’t want to have to lie about what’s inside.
When there’s always been a tiny part of me I’m trying to hide.
I don’t want to see your expression when I let you down.
And I just want you to love me.
Oh I just want you to love me.

There’s a haiku poem inside of my head.
But the words are written in invisible ink.
Now the world is changing I can barely keep up.
What was hot is over .
What was down is not.
Now Adam and Eve are trying to split up.
And I can’t take anymore because I just want you to love me.

Love me.
Oh I just want you to love me.


Setting Sun


Leave me alone.
Come over here.
I know it sounds funny but I just can’t stand another day on my own.
Another bug in my ear sounds like noise to me.
Living alone.
A chill in the air.
I don’t hear from my brother he is living in another continent far away.
And it was his birthday today
But I think I missed it.

Setting sun.
I think I’m heading for a setting sun.
I really need to find a way back home.
Oh it’s so urgent.
There’s an urgency.

Leave me alone.
Get out of here.
Still chasing my daddy singing songs about my mammy.
Got to let it go
Before I go down with the ship.
There’s my heartache sinking.
Leave it alone.
Put it to bed.
Everybody changing memory set in the pages of an email or two.
Yeah I read all 32.
It was love prized out of you.

Setting sun.
I think I’m heading for a setting sun.
I really need to find a way back home.
Oh it’s so urgent.
There’s an urgency behind the setting sun.
I think I’m heading for a setting sun.
I really need to find a way back home.
Oh it’s so urgent.
There’s an urgency.

Do I make you hot?
Do I make you uncomfortable?
A stirring down in your soul for something more.
Does it happen a lot?
Does the drudgery bring you down?
Is anyone still around?
I’m coming down.

Oh
Do I make you hot?
Do I make you uncomfortable?
A stirring down in your soul for something more.
Does it happen a lot?
Does the drudgery bring you down?
Is anyone still around?
Oh setting sun.
I think I’m heading for a setting sun.
I really need to find a way back home.
It’s so urgent.
There’s an urgency.


A Hundred Challenging Things A Boy Can Do

It was a coal town.
He spent his whole life in a hole in the ground
Smashing pieces of earth.
He never really saw the sky.
It was a hard life.
But little black rocks make televisions work
And put food on the table.
Until the unions cast him aside.
Now there’s a hundred challenging things a boy can do.
And you’ve waved goodbye and held more tears in than anyone ever should.
And all my sorrows pale to insignificance.
That’s why I love you.

She was in a strange land.
She taught herself to read from doing crosswords and hiding her accent.
She cast her dreams aside.
She had a spark in her eye.
She never saw her son on his wedding day or our cherry blossoms falling down
From the sky.
Now there’s a hundred challenging things a boy can do.
And you’ve waved goodbye and held more tears in than anyone ever should.
And all my sorrow pales to insignificance.
That’s why I love you.

No coal mines.
No not a trace.
Now shopping malls take their place.
No picket lines.

The sacrifice.
Dreams overrun.
Hopes for a future for her son in Ollerton.
And there’s a hundred challenging things a boy can do.
And you’ve waved goodbye and held more tears in than anyone ever should.
All my sorrows pale in to insignificance.
That’s why she loves you.

A hundred challenging things a boy can do.
Wave goodbye.
Wave goodbye.
A hundred challenging.
Say goodbye to you.


Words

Give me a taste of what's to come.
Give me your medicine.
Teach me a lesson maybe I deserve to know.
Cut me down to size and paralyze me
With the contents of your pretty little head.
And give me somewhere else to go.
Give me one thing.
Tell me something I don't really need to know.
I am so afraid of breaking what we made.
It is delicate and lovely.
But it's a weight above me.

And your words are like weapons.
But you keep them inside and they cut like a knife.
And you keep it together.
All those feelings inside.
There's nowhere to hide
But away from me.
When I just want to listen to your words.

I'd like to step into your world.
Show me a secret.
I promise to keep it safe and sheltered from the storm.
I want to cross the great divide that keeps me swimming
And treading water from your shore.
I want to coax you from your hell.
Into an alley,
A hidden valley where the truth can surely spill.
I want to take the weight that drags you to the ground.
Share this treasure that I've found.

But your words are like weapons.
But you keep them inside and they cut like a knife.
And you keep it together.
All those feelings inside.
There's nowhere to hide
But away from me.
When I just want to listen.

There's a lock someone's stolen the key
And took you away from me.
Somewhere that no one can read you.
I see a Bible.
Yeah I see a Bible in your eyes.
All those codes and hidden meanings.
Full of metaphor and something for the faithless in me.

But your words are like weapons.
But you keep them inside and they cut like a knife.
And you keep it together.
All those feelings inside.
There's nowhere to hide
But away from me.
When I just want to listen to your words.


The Tuning of Violins

Daylight breaks and the blackbirds call.
And the market stalls are all filling up.
Spilling over the street.
High above over Notting Hill
I am floating still in a wooden chair
With our restless dog.

I’ve been away so long I almost forgot how time and space
Cannot replace this feeling
Of flying over things.
Now you’re falling awake your sleepy face begins to register
That I’m coming home.
Yeah I’m coming home to you.

On a Sunday only we know
Where the sunlight and the wind blows.
Over bluebells, over Blackheath.
Calling your name I will float through your window.

Major third
Or a minor seventh.
I’m a violin tuned a little sharp.
Tuned a little below.
Coming around the bend the hallway ends.
The chair it dips and then it bends.
And it has wings for legs.
Now you’re deep in a dream
The sheets and pillowcases seem to overtake your head.
I’m at the foot of our bed.

On a Sunday only we know
Where the sunlight and the wind blows.
Over bluebells, over Blackheath.
Calling your name I will float through your window.

Break through the silence.
The gulf that’s between us.
Take all the heartache and bullshit that builds up.
And we will unravel
Unravel the moments.
Yeah we will unravel
Unravel the moments.

On a Sunday only we know
Where the sunlight and the wind blows.
Over bluebells, over Blackheath.
Calling your name I will come to your window.

I’ll be calling your name as I float through your window.
