Big sky

Looking for a way out, trying to stay afloat
(If you're) looking for a way out, we're in the same boat
You'll never stand in this world alone, if you don't keep asking why
Take my hand and we'll fly, in the big sky.

The stories that we tell
04:20
|
|||
|
If you're sitting comfortably, then I will begin
There are tales that come from deep within
They pass through generations, but repeat the same old story
So listen now, it's time for Jackanory
Some will end in tears, others create laughter, a story with no happy ever after,
We sometimes stretch the truth, to help us cast our spell,
These are the stories that we tell, these are the stories that we tell
The words may be our own, but we're sticking to a script,
Memories of the past can still play tricks
But our stories are not set in stone, and we can change the ending
Our future tales, they can be never-ending.
Some will end in tears, others create laughter, a story with no happy ever after,
We sometimes stretch the truth, to help us cast our spell,
These are the stories that we tell, these are the stories that we tell

The rain knows
03:17

I'm kicking my heels, I'm missing you bad
I want to move on cos it's time
I'm hiding my feelings, I'm smiling not sad,
And my friends all assume that I'm fine
But the rain knows, it roars and it flows
It smashes the hillsides and tides
And the wind sees, my pain and my fears
The wildness and sadness inside
My life must move on, so I'm writing this song
To try to explain where I'm at
In time I'll be fine, at least that's the old line
But right now this battery is flat
And the rain knows, It pummels and throws the storm against tress and the ground,
And the wind raves and hammers the waves
I gasp on the shore, I'm half-drowned
Well one day I know that I will be ok
But for now I'll let the wind and the rain win today,
I'll let the wind and the rain win today

Song for Oscar

Sleep, my little boy, though you are so far away
Sleep, my little boy, I know I can't hold you today
You don't know who I am, and you will do in time, in time
You don't know who I am, and you will do in time
Smile, my little boy, though you are so far away
Smile, my little boy, I know I can't see you today
I don't know who you are, and I will do in time, in time,
I don't know who you are, and I will do in time
Dream, my little boy, though you are so far away
Dream, my little boy, I know I can't watch you today
We don't know each other, and we will do in time, in time
We don't know each other, and we will do in time, in time.

The moment when
03:55
|
|||
|
There was a warm wind up from the coast
You turned your face away, that hurt the most
Two cups of coffee going cold, you staring out the window
Your eyes were cold as stone when you looked at me again,
That was the moment when
There was a whole lot of talking we had
I thought I'd put this train back on the track
But two nights by the coast counldn't fix the way you felt,
I think that at the most you could have saved me from myself
That was the moment when
It was the moment when I knew, we'd done all we could do
And though it hurt us so, it was time to let it all go
I'd like to know what we had was good when we think about it all again
But looking back I know that was the moment when
She said you can't see what's in front of you
You've got your eyes shut tight, and they're blinding you
You'd better listen to me now, I won't repeat myself
We're living in the past, we're lying to ourselves
That was the moment when
It was the moment we realised what came as no surprise
And now we'd reached the end, we knew we couldn't pretend
I'd like to know what we had was good when we think about it all again
But looking back I know that was the moment when
Looking back I know that was the moment when

Joking apart
03:48
|
|||
|
I play the joker when you're not around
Just like Smokey's Tears of a Clown
But it's only so I can hide this tragic comedy inside
Joking apart, on my sleeve there's no broken heart
We bristled when we connected, but it died as we fell apart
Joking apart, I'm no longer number one on your chart
It's funny now to realise, in your life I was a walk on part, just a walk on part
You were my funny valentine
Now what feels funny is that you're not mine
You said it wasn't any of your concern,
When our love took such a funny turn
Joking apart, on my sleeve there's no broken heart
We bristled when we connected, but it died as we fell apart
Joking apart, I'm no longer number one on your chart
It's funny now to realise, in your life I was a walk on part, just a walk on part

Radar

Don't want to be remembered when I die
All I'll be is dust upon the breeze
I'm going make a difference in this life, and not worry about some distant legacy
I'm flying under their radar, going to live this life as I please
There's no point waiting for heroes,
All we need is a few good ideas, all we need is a few good ideas
Most things are best sorted out together
But they'll always try to split us if we can
But love and trust each other with compassion
It's the weapon that no-one can ever ban
So let's fly under their radar, we can live this life as we please
There's no point waiting for heroes
All we need is a few good idea, all we need is a few good ideas
Don't want to be remembered when I die
All I'll be is dust upon the breeze
I'm going make a difference in this life, and not worry about some distant legacy
So I'm flying under their radar, going to live this life as I please
There's no point waiting for heroes,
All we need is a few good ideas, all we need is a few good ideas

Road to the coast
04:12
|
|||
|
My mind's full of nothing, but everything tries to stick
Going round in circles again, I can't make things tick
I need time away just to stare into the blue
Rekindle connection, bring us back into view
Our home on wheels that holds our love in its grace
In our space we've nothing left to face
A smell of freedom, as we push out our ghosts
Loving you on the road to the coast
Loving you on the road to the coast
We're drawn to the lines and the shaped they divide
Clouds of steel grey dragged in by the tide
The wind in our faces tried to tear us apart
But only succeeds in saving this sorry heart
Our home on wheels that holds our love in its grace
In our space we've nothing left to face
A smell of freedom, as we push out our ghosts
Loving you on the road to the coast
Loving you on the road to the coast

Six feet under
04:34

If love is letting go of fear
That chimes with you but you're still quite scared
If you're trying to live for the now
You've got to let go of the past somehow
You just live your little life, one step ahead of the wolf called hunger
And then forget to live your life
It's too late when you're six feet under
When we don't grow then danger lurks
Which direction in the quest for justice?
And know that sometimes protest works
The law is not a moral compass
We just live your little lives, one step ahead of the wolf called hunger
And then forget twhy we're alive
It's too late when we're six feet under
If love is letting go of fear
That chimes with me but I'm still quite scared
If I'm trying to live for the now
I've got to let go of the past somehow
I just live my little life, one step ahead of the wolf called hunger
And then forget to live my life
It's too late when I'm six feet under

Where I am with you
02:59
|

|
I've travelled half the world, lived with its delights
The strange the wonderful, the lows and the heights
The birds may stay but I'll go of that I'm sure
To see the sea you've got to leave the shore
The earth's a book and I can't read just one page
We're all actors and the world is our stage
Among the desert stands a lonely city stands
That's where I want to go while I still can
These places round the world all sing a different tune
My favourite place is where I am with you
The world may be my oyster, I want you with me too
My favourite place is where I am with you
I'm older now but there's so much more to see
I'll leave tiresome routine of these drab old streets
If the world's an inn, then I am just a guest
I'll drink it in before I take my rest
I'd like to rise and go where golden apples grow
The ne, the unknown is the only way I know
Give me a clear cold day, a blast if icy air
I'll show you a heart that's free of care
These places round the world all sing a different tune
My favourite place is where I am with you
The world may be my oyster, I want you with me too
My favourite place is where I am with you

Bitter times
04:54
|
|||
|
Spray painted on the bridge is an ode to better times
Among the filthy brambles, under darkened skies
A young man stares alone, with damp clothes torn to rags
His whole life and his dreams are stuffed into his sleeping bag
He came up from the south coast to seek a better way
The hopes he dragged along with him were dashed within a day
A tiny pill leads to a pale and bitter end
His anger has just petered out, he's too tired to pretend
Bitter times, bitter times, it's all there is in view
There's plenty for the many, but it's taken by the few
Bitter time bitter times, they're playing on repeat
How can we turn these bitter times to sweet?
How can we turn these bitter times to sweet?
In the midday heat lies a skinny sack of bones
His mum and dad were taken out out by the yankee drones
The village where he was raised is just a heap of dust
and every side assures the people that their cause is just
His bother is a fighter, he wants someone to blame
He joins the race to seek revenge in his brother's name
But the ones he really needs to meet are safely hid away
His anger will not disappear, he'll get even some day
Bitter times, bitter times, it's all there is in view
There's plenty for the many, but it's stolen by the few
Bitter time bitter times, they're playing on repeat
Only we can turn these bitter times to sweet
Only we can turn these bitter times to sweet
Only we can turn these bitter times to sweet
