Airbrushed Pictures
04:02
|
|||
I have seen everything I didn't wish to see
through the light you walked with him you couldn't look at me
I have been a different man since you closed the door
in my face and in my life you want to go to war
Now I see you as you really are, airbrushed pictures you're no superstar
You played with my mind for years you never let me be,
the man that I know I am a prisoner now free
Where did you claim the right to hurt and criticise,
why the hell couldn't I see behind those steely eyes
Now I see you as you really are, airbrushed pictures you're no superstar
How could you play the part of breaking me right down,
you took my soul you took my pride I couldn't make a sound
I am now back to my best the shackles have been thrown,
you cannot break me now my mind is now my own
Now I see you as you really are, airbrushed pictures you're no superstar
Now I see you as you really are, airbrushed pictures you're no superstar

The Point of No Return
03:03
|
|||
Look at the sky I see the sun's gone down, you're not around
Look out to sea no waves are crashing now, you're not around
Listening out for music there's no sound, 'cos you're not around
Hear me I can be the one to stop your tears from falling past the point of no return
Look for the stars nothing to see but cloud, you're not around
Look to the hills the peaks all foggy bound, you're not around
Listening out no birds are singing now, 'cos you're not around
Hear me I can be the one to stop your tears from falling past the point of no return
Hear me I can be the one to stop your tears from falling past the point of no return
Look at the sky I see the sun's gone down, you're not around
You're not around

Out of Time
03:32
|
|||
You looked around and you saw what you wanted, a packet of pills and a vodka bottle
This decision came way too easy, for you but your gonna do it your way anyway
Something in your eyes the last time I saw you, your happy sad smile just gave you away
I didn't know what it was you wanted, you said you're alright and I believed you
Where you gonna go when you're out of time? where you gonna go when you see the light?
Where you gonna go when you're out of time? tonight I write my side tonight I write my side of the story
Put on your best clothes and fold up the old, in your hotel bed it's keeping out the cold
The letters that you wrote neatly on the side, you're waiting for your pain to subside
Where you gonna go when you're out of time? where you gonna go when you see the light?
Where you gonna go when you're out of time? tonight I write my side tonight I write my side of the story
It's coming I'm gonna get the news, the ashen-faced doctor comes into the room
I can't believe I'm never going to see you ever, ever again
Ever, ever again
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?

Prisoner
03:40
|
|||
Light me up strip me down punch me out into the ground
Soak me through kill my senses beat my legs break my defences
All I want is time with you my freedom calls but no time soon
All I want is time with you my innocence won't break me through
Pinned on my back blood flowing free no protection or help for me
The beating stops but not my heart I heal once more so it restarts
All I want is time with you my freedom calls but no time soon
All I want is time with you my innocence won't break me through
I am a prisoner I am a prisoner
Tie my hands we go again take me away just fill my veins
Light me up keep it shining I'll walk towards and start flat-lining
All I want is time with you my freedom calls but no time soon
All I want is time with you my innocence won't break me through
I am a prisoner I am a prisoner
I am a prisoner I am a prisoner

The Lies Upon My Face
04:31
|
|||
Hold me inside don't let me go, 'cos I don't need to see another road
Hold me in your arms don't let me go, 'cos I can't wait to snap out of this low
Ooooooh
Ooooooh
Hold me inside don't let me cry, 'cos I can't stand the blackness of this night
Hold me in your arms don't let me cry, 'cos I can't watch what's all around me die
Ooooooh
Ooooooh
Hold me inside don't let me go, 'cos I don't think that I can go it alone
Hold me in your arms don't let me go, you look at me you know it's all for show
Ooooooh
Ooooooh
You can see the lies upon my face
You can see those lies upon my face
Hold me in your arms don't let me go

I'm Just a Man
03:32
|
|||
What did you think when I turned my back on the world for the moment?
Did you reach out or look for my hand it's easy to see that I'm just a man
Who-oh-oh
Who-oh-oh
What did you think when I turned my back on the dreams I had held so dear?
I never heard you coming around or digging me out but you're just a man
Who-oh-oh
Who-oh-oh you're just a man
What do I need to make me believe in the world? there is goodness here
Will it come find me or I search the land it's easy to see that I'm just a man
Who-oh-oh
Who-oh-oh I'm just a man
There is time for me to get it together
There is time for me to piece it back together
What do you think now I'm facing back to the world for the moment?
Can you reach out or take my hand I can admit that I'm just a man
Who-oh-oh
Who-oh-oh I'm just a man

Old Teaspoons
03:59
|
|||
Falling gently to the ground, I'm within the here and now
See the lightning follows thunder, your blackened eyes are full of wonder
Now, hold on
Now, hold on
Wake beside you breathing softly, last night's another simple memory
There's more to take when you come around, make me feel like a king in his crown
Now, hold on
Now, hold on
The sun on my back makes me feel alive
The sun on my back makes me feel alive
Now, hold on
Now, hold on
I feel it in my vein again I need it coursing to my brain
I feel it in my vein again I need it coursing through my brain
Now, hold on
Now, hold on
Hold on, hold on now
Hold on, hold on now
Now, hold on
Now, hold on

Bright Blue Eyes
03:49
|
|||
You came over and talked with me, as I stood alone
We drank and danced the night away, then you took me home
I could feel the thunderbolt, cascading from the sky
That night I didn't want to end, your body entwined with mine
Those bright blue eyes, made me melt inside
Those bright blue eyes, imprinted in my mind
We barely knew one another, we got on like old friends
Time together is short and sweet, but it had to end
I thought we could carry on, you told me outright
This cannot we're too far apart, and I just lost the fight
Those bright blue eyes, make me melt inside
Those bright blue eyes, took so long to find
Don't say it's over over over, I can't take the hurt
Don't say it's over over over, I can't stand the hurt
Bright blue eyes
Bright blue eyes
Those bright blue eyes, now make me hurt inside
Those bright blue eyes, can't get them outta my mind

Talk to Me
02:47
|
|||
All I want is to see your face I'm watching you from far away
But you won't talk to me
You won't talk to me
One last time I need your voice, but I can't you made your choice
You won't talk to me
You won't talk to me
I understand the way you feel, these aren't just words this is real
You won't talk to me
You won't talk to me
You're my last chance my only hope, I hate that you don't want to know
Cos you won't talk to me
You won't talk to me
You're my last chance my only hope, I hate that you don't want to know
Cos you won't talk to me
You won't talk to me

Wrong Ones
03:41
|
|||
I always find the wrong ones I always take the wrong turns baby you never look for me
I always find the wrong ones, I always take the wrong turns baby you, give me your sympathy
Wait for the time to pass my clock is ticking by so fast, give me your sympathy
I always find the wrong ones, I always take the wrong turns baby you, give me your sympathy
Is it too late missed the bus only need to find the right one once, give me your sympathy
I always find the wrong ones, I always take the wrong turns baby you, give me your sympathy
I always find the wrong ones, I always take the wrong turns baby you, will you stay with me?

The Window
04:02
|
|||
You know you missed the window, when she won't let you round
You used all your last chances, but you just let her down
You know you missed the window, she's had time to grow
Her life's moved on without you, you've reaped the seeds you've sown
Why all this heartache?
Why all this heartache?
You know you missed the window, the train has left the track
The future may seem bleak now, look forward don't look back
Why all this heartache?
Why all this heartache?
You know you missed the window, resist the urge to phone
Her wounds have started healing, just leave the girl alone
Why all this heartache?
Feel all my heartache
Heal all my heartache
Heal all my heartache

Two Left Feet
03:19
|
|||
You with your beauty in that bridesmaid dress, while I stand uneasy in an ill-fitting suit
The spotlight shines, all eyes are on you
You pull me close with your head on my shoulder, I smell your hair a deep citronella
You move me around, 'cos I can't dance at all
And then the lights go down, and you trip over me, and my two left feet
You look in my eyes and smile it's alright, I turn red embarrassed legs start to stall
You say follow don't worry, I'll never let you fall
And then the lights go down, and you trip over me, and my two left feet
The bar shuts down they grab their coats, need one more song to hold you close
You with your beauty in that bridesmaid dress, while I stand uneasy and take in the view
The spotlight shines, all eyes are on you
And then the lights go down, and you trip over me, and my two left feet
