Somewhere New
02:46
|

This town’s full of leaky ships
They pull you under once they’ve let you in
And everything seems fine
But you know it isn’t
Better leave this prison
This world wasn’t made for you
So you set your sights
For somewhere near the moon
A habitable star
To save your face
To light your way to
Somewhere new
Somewhere new
You’re never gonna tell her
You try your best to save her
You take yourself to market
And find a way to start again
With your wife and family
You try to raise the bounty
You close the shutters to your art
You tip along now in the dark

That's Amor
03:45

That’s amor, that’s amor, That’s amor, that’s amor,
Underneath,
Goose feathered sheets,
Carry me,
Back Home.
In need of peace
Take out your false teeth.
Stamp your feet,
Belong
That’s amor, that’s amor, That’s amor, that’s amor.
Sitting at the table
Waiting to be served
Your old and feeble
Need to be heard
The carousel is spinning
Death is at the door
And you flick through the channels
Flick ash on the floor
And you’re lifting her head to bed every night after tea
Turning up the volume, drifting off to sleep
And you love
That’s Amor
That’s amor, that’s amor, That’s amor, that’s amor,

Once I Was, Once I Was
Starlight shining through the branches of a burning tree
Starlight shining through the branches of a burning tree
Got the time
Got the drugs
got the girl
Once I Was
Flying high at your cost
Felt so much bigger then once I was
Starlight shining through the branches of a burning tree
Starlight shining through the branches of a burning tree
Got the time
Got the drugs
got the girl
Once I Was
Flying high at your cost
Felt so much bigger then once I was
Gonna Hold You Up
Darling when it's over
Gonna hold you up

Qué Pasó Con tus Sueños
03:56

I was only 22 when I moved to Barcelona
Now I’m moving on
I was dealing on the street for a yankees hungry dollar
Now I’m moving on
When you talk to me so high
When you talk to me so low
When you talk to me alright
I’ll see you in the morning
Tripping on a beat that was holding up your picture
Now I’m moving on
Trying to fit the scene like rapunzel in her tower
Now I’m moving on
When you talk to me so high
When you talk to me so low
When you talk to me alright
I’ll see you in the morning
Now I’m moving on
Now I’m moving on
Now I’m moving on

Running on Empty
04:04
|

Said you’re to tell her to make a change
Working up the courage til she’s far away
Eating out of plastic on off peak trains
Watching the world from a different frame
Screaming out the window on an empty street
Wearing different shoes on odd feet
You kiss her once on her judas cheek
You want the whole damn world to see
Light a candle when he’s in need
Give money when you lack belief
Tell your brother that you love him
When he’s in deep
Lighten the load
Despite your dreams
Build fire to heat the dead
Take back all the shit you said
Give love for the blood you bled
Have heart when your tears run red
You don’t have to tell me you don’t have to say
I see it in your eyes and all your ways
You’re running on empty
You’re running
You’re running
You’re running
On empty
Parking on the corner when you leave for work
Staring at the stains on your office shirt
Finding holes to bury the hurt
Under the carpet away with the dirt
Taking the risk but at what cost
And all of the battles you should have fought
Give love to your darkest thoughts
Give love to the ones you lost
You don’t have to tell me you don’t have to say
I see it in your eyes and all your ways
You’re running on empty
You’re running
You’re running
You’re running
On empty
Watch out for where you’re flying
You’re going to burn your wings
When your too close to the sun
You’ve been out on the brandy
Getting too hard to handle
Your battle’s never won

Hurricane
03:25
|

Hold your head up high
You’re sleeping rough
Without a ceiling
Grip those briars tight
Gimme some
Just a little feeling
Just a little care
You’re calling up a hurricane
You’re calling up a hurricane
Give me a cosmic sign
A cigarette
A little meaning
Just a little care
You’re calling up a hurricane
You’re calling up a hurricane
When you going to fight with me darling
I know you will
When you going to get high with me darling
Just one more thrill
You’re calling up a hurricane
You’re calling up a hurricane

September Road

|

Can you tell me where you go to darling when it’s late at night
Are you queueing for a chipper or looking for fight
I follow you from the shadow
On this September Road
Don’t play me for a fool darling, don’t sugar the wound
I’ll take you at face value if your stand your ground
I’ll pull you in and let you go
On this September Road
Caught a Robin in my Kitchen on a Saturday Morning
He was standing in my kitchen and playing with my daughter
I pulled him in and let him go
On this September Road
I follow you from the shadow
On this September Road

Don't Hold a Candle
04:23
|
|||
You say all’s forgiven
Only time will tell
And you ask is this worth living for
When everything around you has gone to hell
But don’t hold a candle to an open flame
And don’t start a fire when you pray for rain
Mmmmmmm
We stray from our mission
And get lost on open roads
And You take what your given
I’ve been trying hard to even up the load
But don’t hold a candle to an open flame
And don’t start a fire when you pray for rain
But don’t hold a candle to an open flame
And don’t start a fire when you pray for rain

If You Were Mine
04:53

Hold up
If you were mine love
I’d waste all your time love
If you were mine
It’s a cold world
And the days are getting shorter
And the trees in my garden
Are fixing to die
Mr Cock Robin lover is gonna take me away for the night
Cos you’ve always been a mystery
And my thoughts don’t seem to rhyme
If you were mine love
If you were mine
Hold up
They’re dimming the light love
They’re turning the tide but
They’re sparking a fire
Mr Cock Robin lover is gonna take me away for the night
Cos you’ve always been a mystery
And my thoughts don’t seem to rhyme
If you were mine love
If you were mine
We were counting the days
