Love all the people

Love all the people, cos only love can bring us brighter days
Love all the people, if love does not prevail, then we all will pay
Love all the people, don't obsess with your labels and your lists
Love all the people, to solve a problem you gotta know that exists
If I am your friend, then how can I help
You know we can't be brothers, if we're divided in ourselves
I've been around too long to play that evil, stupid game
And so I say, love all the people
Love all the people, you can't say, there's only some that are ok
Love all the people,cos that's the only way, that we can all be free
If I am your friend, then how can I help
You know we can't be sisters, if we're divided in ourselves
I've been around too long to play that evil, stupid game
And so I say, love all the people
I've been around too long to play that evil, stupid game
And so I say, love all the people
And so I say, love all the people

Take our turn
03:43
|

You just tell your side of the story
Your attitudes and views they just bore me
So please just go away
Don't want to be an ant in your army
Your hangers on and friends want to harm me
But I am not afraid
I need to say that I, I will not stand by, stand by and watch it burn
Together we are stronger, can't wait around any longer
Time to take our turn, time to take our turn, time to take our turn,
It's time to take our turn
Rules aren't there to protect the weak
We'll get nowhere just waiting there meekly,
So let's all stand up strong
They're tightening the noose by the hour
We're the ones who really have power
Only we can right those wrongs
I need to say that I, I will not stand by, stand by and watch it burn
Together we are stronger, can't wait around any longer
Time to take our turn, time to take our turn, time to take our turn,
It's time to take our turn
It's time to take our turn.

Tripwire
04:36
|

Young boy sitting in a stolen truck, by the open gaping door
His legs are stretched but he can barely reach the rubbish strewn upon the floor
In the back his brother is lying bleeding on the floor
Grits his teeth and takes a laboured breath, can't think straight any more
The scars they bear led them on different paths,
They just got trapped along the way
No one is born with malice in their soul,
The lives they lived led them astray
Desperation made them break away, they fell into the fire
Falling over another tripwire, falling over another tripwire
Young boy trembling on a dirty bed, big brother's curled up on the floor
He's not sure if he's alive or dead , and who's left to help him any more
Desperation made them break away, they fell into the fire
Falling over another tripwire, falling over another tripwire

Working it out
04:24
|

We're working it out as we go
We're working it out along the road
We're working it out, we're sometimes wrong, we're sometimes right
We're working it out as we go
Working it out, working it out
And where we go we'll be alright
Just keep on moving, we'll be alright
Working it out, we'll be alright

Better version of you
03:44
|

He said we moved in together and it was a dream come true
I kinda hoped you'd feel the same way too
I thought I knew everything about you
And then your games console it moved in too
You plugged the xbox in, and you disappeared from view
I might as well have not been in the room
Now there's three in this relationship and so I'm feeling blue
What I want is a better version of you
She said I don't get what it is that's eating you
You have to criticise all I do
We seem to have a different point of view
I'd try to help but you haven't got a clue
To share our lives is what I want, but I still need to be free
I can't just be what you want me to be
I love the very soul of you, so I don't know what to do
What I want is a better version of you
We need some space and oxygen, and that will help us grow
With no give and take it's always touch and go
So it's time to make a compromise, or our future's dust
What we need is a better version of us.

Lost
03:02
|

I could never find another who knows me like you
I am angry, I am sad, but I guess you feel it too
There's a hole inside me that is the same shape as you
You're the one I'd share this with but now I cannot do
I want you to know I'm missing you and that is all
I'm frustrated, I'm deflated, I wish you would call
I am lucky to have had you in my life that's true
But if that is it, I'll never find a friend like you
I am lucky to have had you in my life that's true
But if that is it, I'll never find a friend like you

Empty
05:24
|

She lifts her skirt up to her knees
Walks through the garden rows
With her bare feet laughin'
I never learned to count my blessings
I choose instead to dwell in my disasters
I walk on down the hill
Through grass grown tall and brown and still
It's hard somehow to let go of my pain
On past the busted back of that old and rusted Cadillac
That sinks into this field collecting rain
Will I always feel this way?
So empty, so estranged?
Of these cut-throat busted sunsets
These cold and damp white mornings I have grown weary
If through my cracked and dusty dime store lips
I spoke these words out loud
Would no one hear me?
Lay your blouse across the chair
Let fall the flowers from your hair
And kiss me with that country mouth so plain
Outside the rain is tapping on the leaves
To me, it sounds like they're applauding us
The quiet love we've made
Will I always feel this way?
So empty, so estranged?
Well, I looked my demons in the eyes
Lay bare my chest, said, "Do your best to destroy me"
See, I've been to hell and back so many times
I must admit you kinda bore me
There's a lot of things that can kill a man
There's a lot of ways to die
Yes, and some already did and walk beside me
There's a lot of things I don't understand
But so many people lie
It's the hurt I hide that fuels the fire inside me
Will I always feel this way?
So empty, so estranged?

Slow, right now it feels like it's the only way to go
Got to draw back and let everything else go
And just take my time
Let go of haste, endless rushing I can no longer face
One job is done, another has replaced it
Time to draw the line
I need some space to contemplate, and reconnect the lines
If I just keep on running then I'll never cross that finishing line
Slow, get you off your treadmill, turn off the phone
Take a deep breath, go with the flow
And just take your time
We need some space to contemplate, and reconnect the lines
If we just keep on running then we'll never cross that finishing line
In praise of slow, right now it feels like it's the only way to go
Got to draw back and let everything else go
And just take my time

Coming unstuck
03:34
|
|||
She set up her life in straight and tidy rows
Too late to realise, that's not the way things go
She woke up past midnight, and watched her plans implode
Should she try to rewrite , or just draw to a close
Aaaah aaaah aaaah
She let it run amok, her life's been nip and tuck, she's running out of luck
Coming unstuck, coming unstuck, coming unstuck
Came round to see you, to get your good advice
I don't know the difference, I can't read it in your eyes
I'm sorry I'm uptight, I'm scared of the unknown
What money can't buy, cuts closer to the bone
Aaaah aaaah aaaah
Everything has shrunk, the tolling bell just struck, I'm coming unstuck
Coming unstuck, coming unstuck, coming unstuck
Sometimes we come unstuck

Last train
03:15
|
|||
I, I'm waiting for the last train, to take me to the aeroplane
To fly away from those eyes
I'm asking for my rebate, I hope I'm not too late
Or is this just bad news in disguise
I couldn't fight it that's for sure, the only way out was through your door
I couldn't bear it any more
Your face etched upon my brain, just trying to keep this side of sane
Don't have the strength to try again
You, you promised me an earthquake, but now I know you're all fake
Take a bite and then you move along
You were nothing good for me, you said that you adored me
You spat me out, all you did was wrong
I couldn't fight it that's for sure, the only way out was through your door
I couldn't bear it any more
Your face etched upon my brain, just trying to keep this side of sane
Don't have the strength to try again
Waiting for the last train, to take me to the aeroplane
