Aching

My head is full of you
So full of you
I’m achin’ for you, you

My head is full of you
Consumed by you
I’m achin’ for you, you

Some kind of huh huh
Some kind of huh huh
Some kind of blue
Some kind of blue for you

My head is full of you
Consumed by you
I’m achin’ for you

Judas

Were you reeling me in
Enticing me
Luring me
Drawing me
Did you plan it out
Sussing me
Circling about you
Well you should 'a' met a Mandy
And you should 'a' met a Cindy
And you should 'a' met anyone
Last season's anyone
Now you've stolen from me
And you've wrenched love from me
Now I can’t give it out
’Cause I can't surrender

Why are we futility
An exercise, can you really be so empty
This is flimsiness, shallowness
Just how you were steering it
You said I'd hate you
Well you should 'a' met a Mandy
And you should 'a' met a Cindy
And you should 'a' met anyone
Last season's anyone
Now you've stolen from me
And you've wrenched love from me
Now I can’t give it out
’Cause I can't surrender

Weren't you so lucky to get a fantasy
A very brainy submission
And now you don't know
That I hate you so
’Cause you're not jealous
Oh ’cause she makes you cosy

Well you should 'a' met a Mandy
And you should 'a' met a Cindy
And you should 'a' met anyone
Last season's anyone
Now you've stolen from me
And you've wrenched love from me
Now I can’t give it out
’Cause I can't surrender

Wind Out Of My Sails

No kisses left now, no caresses
All gone, dried up
Day is done now, closing down
Swept away, swept away

You take the wind out of my sail
You take out
You take the wind out of my sail
You take out

You take the wind out of my sail
You take out
You take the wind out of my sail
You take out

Empty now, hollow place
Funny how you become good
Good at looking pretty

You take the wind out of my sail
You take out
You take the wind out of my sail
You take out

Autopilot

Treading along

Knowing that the fuel is gone, gone
Just to keep to keep the ball rolling
Hoping a recovery will come come come
But it never ever never ever never
You give more, they push less
You give less, they push less, why
‘Cause in the end you save your face
If they look good you look good, look good, look good

More and more and more thieves jump on your wagon
More and more and more thieves jump on
More, more, more thieves jump on your wagon
I’m on autopilot, fuel is gone

I used to be pushing this bus
Now it’s pulling me
I know my fuel is gone gone
But it never ever never ever never ever
You give more, they push less
You give less, they push less, why
‘Cause in the end you save your face
If they look good you look good, look good, look good

More and more and more thieves jump on your wagon
More and more and more thieves jump on
More, more, more thieves jump on your wagon
I’m on autopilot, fuel is gone

You Broke The Magic

Why do you do what you do, why love
And do you think about you, in vain
Do you think about you, my love
What do you think about you, in vain

You broke the magic
You broke the magic

Did you believe that you were right
Did you believe that you were true
Did you believe that it was right
To be the you that you once knew

You broke the magic
You broke the magic

Why do you do what you do, why love
And do you think about you, in vain
Can I forgive and forget, my love
What do you think I can do with you

You broke the magic
You broke the magic

Do you believe that you were right
Do you believe that you were true
Do you believe that it was right
To be the you that you once knew

Do you pretend that you’re in love
Do you pretend to tell the tale
Do you believe that you’re above
The kind of love that is so plain

You broke the magic
You broke the magic
You broke the magic

You bring me down

I don’t know who I want and I don’t know what I need
I’m in a situation that I know I can’t read
I'm having conversation but I can’t speak
I know that I’m listening but nothing I hear

You bring me down, down, down, down, down
When you’re around
And the unease displeases me somehow
When you’re around

I’m in anticipation of your next move
I’m engaging in your raging but I keep my cool
The expression on your face wish I could displace
I’m frustrated ‘cause I wait to pussy-foot around you

You bring me down, down, down, down, down
When you’re around
And the unease displeases me somehow
When you’re around

I’m all alone though everybody’s here
Laughter and banter ringing in my ear
High and low the stories go

The depression is oppressing ‘cause you’re leaning on me

You bring me down, down, down, down, down
When you’re around
And the unease displeases me somehow
When you’re around

I need to catch the bee in your bonnet
Turn it inside out with you on it
Whirl you around and then a pillow landing
So quell the fending and get on with me

You bring me down, down, down, down, down
When you’re around
And the unease displeases me somehow
When you’re around

I need to catch the bee in your bonnet
Turn it inside out with you on it
Whirl you around and then a pillow landing
So quell the fending and get on with me

You bring me down, down, down, down, down
When you’re around
And the unease displeases me somehow
When you’re around

Alien

I wish I spoke your language
I wish I spoke
You want one set of emotions
You can’t be challenged

You’re so afraid that it disgusts her
Maybe we’ll help you, help you, help you, help you

How could your upbringing confuse you so much
That you lose touch with your ticking, tocking
How could your upbringing confuse you so much
That you lose touch with your ticking, tocking

You’re not intelligent because you’re cynical
It’s just a blind defence
Secretly aimless is what you are
And you’ve lost touch with your ticking, tocking

How could your upbringing confuse you so much
That you lose touch with your ticking, tocking?
How could your upbringing confuse you so much
That you lose touch with your ticking, tocking

Wastin’

"You’re not that special, you’re not unique
You’re not the most beautiful thing in the world"

That’s wasting away, wasting the charms you have
Believing that beauty’s far away
Wasting the charm
Caressing other fantasies so far away

"I just can’t drool at you, it’s not there
You need me too much anyway"

That’s wasting, wasting, wasting the charms with you
Believing that beauty’s far away
Wasting the charm
Caressing other fantasies so far away

The action of the head-wrecking is churning at my brain
Whirring up dementia and it’s driving me insane

That’s wasting away, wasting the charms you have
Believing that beauty’s far away
Wasting the charm
Caressing other fantasies so far away

The action of the head-wrecking is churning at my brain
Whirring up dementia and it’s driving me insane
The action of the head-wrecking is churning at my brain
Whirring up dementia and it’s driving me insane

That’s wasting away, wasting the charms you have
Believing that beauty’s far away
Wasting
Caressing other fantasies so far away

You’re that special, you’re unique
You’re the most beautiful thing in the world

Fictitious Richard

Fictitious Richard came all on his merry way
Over the seas in his might
Fictitious Richard he valiantly stole away
Knowingly approaching the sight

Steadfastly stearing, "Ahoy!", he’s appearing
Blowing the wind brought him tight
Fictitious, delicious, Richard was ambitious
In seeking a maiden to delight

And she came forth, she bound forth so eagerly drawn forth
She offered her jewels and her wares
And though she had an inkling of a suffering
She never advanced on her doubting
Sprang forth and leapt to his word

Fictitious Richard still steadfastly valiantly
Naming and proclaiming his love
Untouched and untravelled, ne’r had it been accomplished
By Richard stupendous in reign

Then she began to realize looking in his eyes
Pious holy innocent eyes that glorious pretension was ripe
And singing out her inkling of the suffering
Realizing of her doubting thinking of his dithering plight

Fictitious Richard sailed off on his merry way
Back o’er the seas in his might
Fictitious Richard he valiantly stole away
Knowingly leaving behind

And singing out her inkling of the suffering
Realizing of her doubting and pining in her sorrowful plight
Singing of his cum sancto spiritu, cum sancto spiritu, gloria!

And singing out her inkling of the suffering
Realizing of her doubting and pining in her sorrowful plight
Singing of his cum sancto spiritu, cum sancto spiritu, gloria!

And singing out her inkling of the suffering
Realizing of her doubting and pining in her sorrowful plight
Singing of his cum sancto spiritu, cum sancto spiritu, gloria!

Too Late

I’m not going to look
For approval from you anymore
No no more

‘Cause you want me to wait
Wait till it’s too late for realizing
The illusion

Do you really want me to cry
And my heart do you want me to die
It will be too late to cry
And still my heart won’t die

I know your belief in me is weak
It’s purely fearfulness of the unknown
‘Cause you want me to wait
Wait till it’s too late for the big climbing
And all alone

Do you really want me to cry
And my heart do you want me to die

It will be too late to cry
And still my heart won’t die
It will be too late to cry
And still my heart won’t die

1,000,001

There’s a million and one things I like about you
Can we exchange it, can I trade it with you
But if you’re not gonna pay
Why should I stay, why should I stay with you?
If you’re not gonna pay, why should I stay, with you

There’s a billion and one things I wanna change with you
Could we exchange it, I wanna change with you
But if you’re not gonna pay
Why should I stay, why should I stay with you
If you’re not gonna pay, why should I stay, with you

There’s a trillion and one things I love about you
Can we exchange it, can I trade it with you
But if you’re not gonna pay
Why should I stay, why should I stay with you
But if you’re not gonna pay
Why should I stay, why should I stay with you
If you’re not gonna pay, why should I stay, with you
But if you’re not gonna pay
Why should I stay, why should I stay with you
If you’re not gonna pay, why should I stay, with you

Under My Skin

You get under my skin, inside
A bundle of bliss, inside
Oh what a lovely day
Your loveliness enfolding me

You get under my skin, inside
A bundle of bliss, inside
Wrapping around you
Wrapping and holding, and holding
Rapturing

Under my skin, inside
Bliss, inside

Love is a tricky thing

Alas bewildered lover you’ve met love’s most famous friend
Sorrow’s bid you morning and kicks back till the day’s end
And now you’re done with love and you’re not looking for love or his boring friend
You’ve built a world without love and wonder if you’re burying your face in the sand

Love is a tricky thing and it brings you lightly
Love’s not what you think it should be then it sings to you rightly

So then bewildered lover is this ringing any bells with you
And could you really want to sing back to love if it crept up and enveloped you
Or do you still want a kind of adjustable love that doesn’t infuse and consume your being
A made-to-order kind of love for the heart that beats so weary

Love is a tricky thing and it brings you lightly
Love’s not what you think it should be then it sings to you rightly

Oh bewildered! Looking for a lover? Maybe you’ll discover a friend
A friend to play the knowing glance game, two spoons of sugar and milk
Someone to share the minute details with in your playground love-well
When all the really good and bad things happen it’s the one you want to tell but

Love is a tricky thing and it brings you lightly
Love’s not what you think it should be then it sings to you rightly

Love is a tricky thing and it brings you lightly
Love’s not what you think it should be then it sings to you rightly

Impossibly beautiful

I know not your heart or your mind or your name
Your Achilles heel or from where you came
Though it’s written in the stars my desires will flame
I might take a pass on what the stars are saying
You’re impossibly beautiful, is that ‘cause I’m waiting
Is that ‘cause I’m looking or is it just ‘cause you are

The indignant look as you catch the eye
Of the onlooker caught in a gaze at thine
As you’re innocently flaunting your beauty, ‘ah!’
You’ve no idea how beautiful you are
You’re impossibly beautiful, is that ‘cause I’m waiting
Is that ‘cause I’m looking or is it just ‘cause you are

You’re not laid so bare by the vanity fare
To tamper with your charms…oxygen in a jar
You’re not an assembled cocktail of bits and not
A stuck together look all made up with tricks
You’re impossibly beautiful, is that ‘cause I’m waiting
Is that ‘cause I’m looking or is it just ‘cause you are

You don’t play the love game of toxic love
Of trading love for beauty the winning of
Will you ever wish you knew what a spell you cast
Or maybe it’s a beauty you’ll always have
You’re impossibly beautiful, is that ‘cause I’m waiting
Is that ‘cause I’m looking or is it just ‘cause you are

Grace

You gave me grace
You gave me grace
Help me today to feel the grace

Help me today
To feel the grace
‘Cause here’s the day
To feel the grace

You gave me grace
Help me today to prove
What good is grace if I don’t know
If I don’t know how to use it

Grace, you gave me grace
Help me today to feel the grace

Help me today
To feel the grace
Here’s the day
To feel the grace

You gave me grace
Help me today to prove
Help me today to find the grace ‘cause here’s the day
Here’s the day
Day to use it

Valentine’s song

She broke his heart into a million billion pieces and
She stood and she watched him cry
She stood and watched him fumble around
He lost his heart, it couldn’t be found

She walked away taking all of the embraces
Never seeing him shudder in pain
She didn’t stroke his hair or his face like she so loved to
She just left and she left him to cry

Boy nothing you can do will stop you wondering
And nothing you can do will ease the pain
Remember you are blind to the intricacies of the mind
So just stay and stand the time
Pain goes away when you stand the time

Boy nothing you can do will stop you wondering
And nothing you can do will ease the pain
Remember you are blind to the intricacies of the mind
So just stay and stand the time
Pain goes away when you stand the time
Pain goes away when you stand the time

One more tune

He’s living in a world that has left him behind
He used to be taller, he used to be kind
She’s plagued with images from the dark side of her mind
Unsavoury days, unsavoury nights

But she still waits to hear one more tune
One more tune, one more tune

She doesn’t think too much about the meaning of her life
She thinks she’s happy and you think you’re right
He’s pulling faces, saying “you won’t like me when I’m mad!”
She says “I don’t like you anyway and the bravado dance!”

They still wait to hear one more tune
One more tune, one more tune
They still wait to hear one more tune
One more tune, one more tune

He turns tricks as he licks his lips holding court on a throne.
He gets kicks as he blinks thinking of rouses yet unknown
She’s got a witch laugh and a guy who knows how to humour her
He’s in a romance with romance and likes her approval

And they still wait to hear one more tune
One more tune, one more tune!
One more tune, to hear one more tune
One more tune, one more tune!

Mr. Roving eye guy

Mr. Roving eye guy with high wall round his heart
He said he couldn’t find a good enough girl for him
He found flaws with every girl he’d meet
She had big hands or funny feet
He found ways out of meeting the girl of his dreams,
Refusing to succumb or surrender to a new queen
You…

Mr. Roving eye guy found a haven to protect him
From rejection nothing brought in or out from there
Dancing girls dressed up as romance
Aesthetically pleasing pretend romance
Good time romances not long time romance “it’s been fun”,
A holding pattern of romances, comfort blankets, glances
You…

Mr. Roving eye guy found a girl that every other
Mr. Roving eye guy would gaze at
Would he settle for the best of his bad lot
Or still roam the hills to see what they’d got
Would he unleash his fears and let inertia bleed
Would he break his own rules and think of
And think of his dreams
Would he just you fall in love
Would he just you fall in love

You fall in love
You, you fall in love
You…
You…

Stay

Stay, just stay
And wait, just wait

The little fire inside you is much bigger there’s a
A little fire inside you

Just dream, just dream
You’ll see, you’ll see

I wish i could abate your desire to decorate your life
I wish i could abate your fear
The little fire inside you is much bigger there’s a
A little fire inside you

Just dream, just dream
You’ll see, you’ll see

The little fire inside you is much bigger there’s a
A little fire inside you
I wish I could abate your desire to decorate your life
I wish I could abate your fear

Just stay, just wait

You’ll see

Life’s nudge

You didn’t recognise the magic in your life till life’s nudge knocked to shock you
Thirty days and nights full of cement inside, a crying feast emotion cocktail.
Limbs broken but moving the hurt-shell still hopeful you file it all under bewildered
Significances cling to ordinary things, peculiar superstitious comforts

Challenging times straining the head, puzzling the heart, a tumbling head
Puzzling days, puzzling dreams, treading water just to try to breathe
Get out of the world, get out of the dreams, and get out of the place, out of the anxiety
Out of the head, out of the sleeping, a weak kind of rage, get out of the dreaming

Time for thrills without the big dreams, reality reminds of Tolstoy’s themes
Torment rips around the being but funnily life feels too good to believe him
Life’s unexpected nudge has come and, can’t blame anyone,
Life’s unexpected nudge has come, you can’t let it keep you down

Keep the wolves from your head as you wait for the horse,
The hollow insides slowly fill with hope
Eyes adjust to the dark light, shapes form like in the dead of night
Time to shed the heavy cape, the exhausted aura wants to emanate,
The exhausted aura‘s gonna radiate, the quivering smile’s gonna find it’s face

Time for thrills without the big dreams, reality reminds of Tolstoy’s themes
Torment rips around the being, but funnily life feels too good to believe him

Life’s unexpected nudge has come and, can’t blame anyone,
Life’s unexpected nudge has come, you can’t let it keep you down

Monster

Fascinated by the charm of a beautiful and delicate thing
Dazzled by its beauty you f-forget you know what lies within in
You forget you know what lies within in in in

Innocently frolicking you stir the side of a nook then
You remember that you knew what was in
The beautiful tree before it you shook shook
The beautiful tree before it you shook shook shook shook shook shook shook

The beautiful tree needs to be preened, an elegant daily tending
But the power is known a monster’s grown,
Unstirred for fear of what might be pending,
Unstirred for fear of what might be pen-ding ding ding ding ding ding

But you know if you shake the tree the contents down will fall
And for a pretty tree the contents aren’t really that very pretty at all
They aren’t really that very pretty at all all all all all

Nothing to declare

You let me fall so I pushed those wicked dreams away
And now you’re gone I can’t find those wicked dreams again

So why have I got nothing to declare but love for you
And it’s just easy to declare my love for you

You let me dream so i gave the other dreams away
Now you’re gone i can’t find the other dreams again

So why have i got nothing to declare but love for you
And it’s just easy to declare my love for you

I’ve got nothing to declare but love for you
And it’s just easy to declare my love for you

Nothing to declare but love for you
I’ve got nothing to declare but love for you

Knock knock

With innocent eyes and expectant faces
Momentary amnesia, lured by graces
Perils forgotten and the heart embraces
Knock knock, it’s here again.
It’s a place inside you, you thought had died
It knocks on millions and thousands or tries and
It remembers yours ‘cause you’ve subscribed
Knock knock, it’s here again
And two become one familiarity restricted
One looks through the others eyes to see themselves reflected
You’ve got dreams to remember you’ve got believe
You’re cinderella remember and your knight is here
You might need to shine up that shiny armour
Or maybe you won’t need to shine it at all
With innocent eyes and expectant faces
Momentary amnesia, lured by graces
Perils forgotten and the heart embraces
Knock knock, it’s here again.
It’s a place inside you, you thought had died
It knocks on millions and thousands or tries and
It remembers yours ‘cause you’ve subscribed
Knock knock, it’s here again
And two become one familiarity restricted
One looks through the others eyes to see themselves reflected
You’ve got dreams to remember you’ve got believe
You’re Cinderella remember and your knight is here
You might need to shine up that shiny armour
Or maybe you won’t need to shine it at all
With innocent eyes and expectant faces
Momentary amnesia, lured by graces
Perils forgotten and the heart embraces
Knock knock, it’s here again
