I swallow my pride To get on the right side of you I keep on smiling darling I look on the bright side for you Ooh yes I do I tangle my life To stay on the nice side of you I say what you wanna hear I’m always so good for you You know it’s true But I cry Ooh I cry I cry But I cry Ooh you used to bring me joy girl But now I’m just pretending And faking is all I really ever do Cause I know It’s ending Ooh yes I do But I still try to be perfect everyday in every way Just like you want me to Ooh ooh ooh And I’m holding it together Just as much as I can Ooh I am But I cry Ooh I cry I cry But I cry You don’t even notice When I’m lying to you You never look into my eyes anymore But don’t misunderstand me Or look so disappointed Cause I ain’t pretending like before But I cry Ooh I cry I cry But I cry But I cry Ooh I cry I cry But I cry

Long Way Back 05:13

Ooh ooh Ooh ooh Ooh ooh Ooh ooh Ooh ooh Ooh ooh Ooh ooh Ooh ooh Ooh ooh Ooh ooh Ooh ooh Ooh ooh Underneath my thinning skin There’s an empty space once filled in With a tattoo of a faded broken heart That hollow place was full of you A tidal wave on a sea of blue Where I laid my anchor to the wind But that’s a long way back That’s a long way back From here Ooh ooh Ooh ooh Ooh ooh As white as snow on purity You shone a light on my obscurity And in return I gave you twenty years You kept my feet on solid ground But itchy feet don’t stick around So with a bloody nose I hit that muddy road again But that’s a long way back That’s a long way back From here But that’s a long way back That’s a long way back From here Ooh ooh Ooh ooh Ooh ooh Ooh ooh Ooh ooh Ooh ooh Now I never look at photographs Those memories would never last They’ll always wash away In tomorrow’s rain Your broken eyes And the might have been's Will blow away in Hokkaido’s wind I guess it’s just all better left unsaid Cause that’s a long way back That’s a long way back From here Cause that’s a long way back That’s a long way back From here Cause that’s a long way back That’s a long way back From here Cause that’s a long way back That’s a long way back From here Cause that’s a long way back That’s a long way back From here Cause that’s a long way back

I Know You Well 04:08
lyrics

Every night you go up to the garden And you pick up leaves fallen in the day You smoke a while and think about small pleasures And watch the time while away I know you well I know you well You lock the door to hide away your treasures The secrets that no-one else should see It’s the little things They’re what really matter Everything so orderly See I know you well I know you so well You leave a book lying on the pillow Left open at a page you didn’t read And while you sleep you dream you’re still together You can break the ties but not the memories I know you well I know you well I know you I know you I know you I know you I know you I know you So well I know you I Know you well Every night you go up to the garden And watch the time while away See I know you well I know you so well I know you well I know you well See I know well I know you so well I know you well

Show Me Your Broken Heart 04:08
lyrics
buy track
If you leave without a word How will it ever get heard If you cry without a tear How will your pain disappear If you mix with all the dirt Maybe someday you’ll get hurt If you run before you can walk How can the battle be fought Show me your broken heart And I’ll do the best I can Oh give me that second chance I’ll be a better man Show me your broken heart And I’ll do the best I can Oh give me that second chance I’ll be a better man If you act before we can talk Darling it was never your fault If you read before you look You arrive before you should Show me your broken heart Show me your broken heart Show me your broken heart And I’ll do the best I can Give me that second chance I’ll be a better man Show me your broken heart And I’ll do the best I can Oh give me that second chance I’ll be a better man I’ll be a better man

That's Why The Rain Reminds Me Of You 03:37
lyrics
buy track
I remember the stars How bright they shone And I recall the rhythm Of Carribean song And I remember the sun How hot it was There’s no shade in the shadows When you look in the past So when I see the rain It’s so hard to explain Those old feelings Drift back again The drops on the window Don’t make a sound As they slide down the pane And fall to the ground Ooh why does the rain Remind me of you Why does the rain Remind me of you It’s Saturday night And it’s starting to pour That pitter-patter I’m closing the door I got so many questions Going round my mind Cause I remember When you were mine And the drops on the window Don’t make a sound As they slide down my pain And fall to the ground And that’s why the rain Reminds me of you And that’s why the rain Reminds me of you And that’s why the rain Reminds me of you Reminds me of you Reminds me of you Reminds me of you

You Are the Lucky One 04:42
lyrics

You are the lucky one You still got your wings on Heaven never lets you down You are the lucky one You still hold the smoking gun My life was always In your hands Do your lips still taste me Will you just click and erase me I was always someone you could leave My virtue if only you knew Couldn’t hold you long enough Imagine heaven in your arms But you are the lucky one You still got your wings on I’m somewhere broken on the breeze Don’t call the cops tonight I won’t be online You shouldn’t be afraid of me Your love’s a fragile thing It bounces upon your whim Your flowers were never real Do your arms still need me Your body still deceives me Your affections never knew no bounds When you go what shall I do It’s been so long beside you I was always someone you could leave You are the lucky one You still got your wings on I’m somewhere broken on the breeze I’m somewhere broken on the breeze You are the lucky one You are the lucky one You are the lucky one

The Hurt Stays 03:37
lyrics

Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh the city sirens Wake my morning I pass my time Trying to heed the warnings Should I seek advice Or just obey With my two hands And the rest of my body I’ve built myself A place to feel sorry In this foreign land I call my home But the hurt stays my love But the blood stains my love But the hurt stays my love But the hurt stays my love My legs they walk To the pushing and shoving And I look ahead But don’t see where I’m going Then I realize I’m going nowhere I’m stuck in a rut Ducking and diving Not living a life Just merely surviving I’m damned if I do And if I don’t Cause the hurt stays my love Cause the blood stains my love Cause the hurt stays my love Cause the hurt stays my love But the hurt stays my love But the blood stains my love But the hurt stays my love The hurt stays Ooh my Love The hurt Ooh the hurt stays The hurt And the blood stains The hurt stays my love The hurt stays my love The blood stains my love The hurt stays The hurt stays my love The hurt stays my love The hurt stays my love

Finding North 03:51
lyrics
buy track
There must be a border I have to cross A hidden frontier To find my north There must be a challenge I have to accept Pick up that gauntlet And fight to the death Maybe it’s a Christ I’m looking for Some unknown soldier Who lost his war The need to pray Hurts more and more I’ll always be knocking At your door There must be an answer I haven’t found Some piece of dirt On solid ground I look to the future But live in the past Could it be a question I haven’t asked These shades of colours I have to apply To something more Than just this lie A life of deceptions And the fear of death Without any meaning Could be lying ahead There must be an answer I haven’t found Some piece of dirt On solid ground I look to the future But live in the past Could it be a question I haven’t asked There must be an answer There must be an answer There must be an answer I haven’t found Some piece of dirt On solid ground I look to the future But live in the past Could it be a question I haven’t asked

Do It All Over Once Again 04:10
lyrics

It’s plain to see You’re short on time Those batteries Are running dry Now changes come As they must do And I know I’m losing you So close your eyes And go to sleep If there’s a place We can meet I’ll be there Holding you And we can do it all over once again These happy days We’ve lived and loved Those memories Can’t be touched You took me to heaven Many years ago And that is why now I want you to know I’ll never miss you You’ll be always here My head and heart Won’t shed no tears Cause we can do it all over once again So close your eyes And go to sleep If there’s a place We can meet Those battles won And those we lost We can do it all over once again We can do it all over once again I won’t say goodbye That’d be just a lie Cause we’ll do it all over once again And we can do it all over once again And we can do it all over Once again

Wha uwha uwahu Wha uwha uwahu Wha uwha uwahu Wha uwha uwhaaaa There’s a wall along the frontier The poor are kept at bay There’s a baby in the river Their children float away There are bottles in the ocean But no one’s lost at sea There’s a racist in the White House Because of you and me It’s the times we live in It’s the times we’ve made It’s the times we live in It’s time we changed Wha uwha uwahu Wha uwha uwahu We disregard our mother Earth At our peril that’s for sure And things won’t get much better cause We treat it like a whore Religion’s not the answer No praying ain’t for me We’ll all be gone before too long Because we can’t agree It’s the times we live in It’s the times we’ve made It’s the times we live in It’s time we changed Ain’t it time Ain’t it time we changed Ain’t it time Ain’t it time we changed Ain’t it time Ain’t it time we changed Ain’t it time we changed It’s the times we live in It’s time we changed It’s the times we live in It’s the times we’ve made It’s the times we live in It’s time we changed Wha uwha uwahu Wha uwha uwahu Wha uwha uwahu Wha uwha uwhaaaa
