I’ll come to the party
Even though I’ve never been a fan of hanging ‘round in crowds
And you know
I’m only here partly because
It’s the only thing that I can think
Of doing for you now
I have a heart
And I’m debating
I’m debating whether
This false start
Could be the one thing
The one thing
The one thing keeping us together
So take your shoes off
And tell me you’re going to live by
The same set of rules
‘cos it’s not what I’m used to
I’ll come to the party…..
Driven apart
Contemplating on your hating and your
Stone cold heart
Could be the one thing
The one thing
The one thing bringing us together
I’ll come to the party…..

You look the same
And you’re so tender hearted
Tell me your name
‘cos we’re just getting started
It’s such a shame
Humanity departed
Bus, ship or plane
To territory uncharted
I love you
We’ll go walking
We’re all the same
What turned some so cold hearted?
Apportion blame
Humanity imparted
We love you
We’ll keep supporting
I love you
We love you
We’ll go walking
Never distorting
Keep on supporting

Always a time
Always a perfect notion
Bring it all together and we’ll
Reap and sow and break our bones
And mend our ways and spend our days in
These clothes
Never aligned
You always speed your way through every conversation
Like a train that speeds right through the night
Ignoring all the danger signs and
Falling
Your best intentions
Are causing tensions
And bringing me down
So I fear
Your best intentions
All in your mind
Because you’re overthinking every situation
When the dark blocks out the light
You push away your friends
And leave with only
Strangers
Your best intentions
Are causing tensions
And bringing me down
So I fear
Your best intentions
Are causing tensions
And bringing me down so I fear
Like a train that steams
Train that steams
Steams right through the night

Are you proud
Of the person you’ve become?
Sing out loud to your audience of one
Fade away like the setting of the sun
And we’ll burn the whole place down
Burn the whole place down
Burn the whole place down
Are you strong?
How’d you make it through the day?
It feels wrong
When you’re living in that way
Clap your hands
But to who you gonna pray?
And we’ll burn the whole place down
Burn the whole place down
Burn the whole place down
When you’re hating
Not relating
And you take off your disguise
Just grab and beer
And spin your 45s
We’re so sick and tired
Sick and tired of falling down
When you’re hating
Not relating
And you take off your disguise
Just grab and beer
And spin your 45s

Just watch this space
I’ll get your drink
And I’ll be back before you realise
That I told you what to think
I’ll speak so softly you can’t hear the underlying message
Even though it’s loud and oh so clear
Now we won’t sleep until it’s done and
There’ll be no excuses
Don’t deny that you didn’t want to come
Your words won’t fall on my deaf ears
Will you still be here in ten years?
When all is said and all is done
Your story is so boring
Is it over now?
Don’t tell me how I should be
Is it over now?
If you take the lead I’ll tow the lone
And never question what we really need
What it means to be alive
Your sticks & stones might break my bones
If I don’t leave it well alone
So you keep yours and I’ll keep mine
Your story is so boring….

Lonely

If you’re lonely
Follow me
Oh if you’re lonely follow me
‘Cos you’re just waiting
For all these things
And nothing’s really happening
‘Cos you’re lonely
Why aren’t you sleeping?
Quiet and creeping
‘Cos nobody knows
That you stole
All the pieces and filled all the holes
And I’m thinking, I’m thinking
I’m thinking
The wrong thing again
No more sleepwalking
I won’t be talking to you
Or your friends
‘Cos they know
That I secretly wanted to go
So I’m leaving, I’m leaving
I’m leaving
I’m leaving again
If you’re lonely
Follow me
Oh if you’re lonely follow me
‘Cos you’re just waiting
For all these things
If you’re lonely
Follow me
No more sweet talking
The sun has been brought in
Revealing the stars
Say hello
As they’re silently stealing the show
And I’m wishing, I’m wishing
I’m wishing
Upon you again
If you’re lonely
Follow me
Oh if you’re lonely follow me
‘Cos you’re just waiting
For all these things
And nothing’s really happening
If you’re lonely
Follow me

You don’t make it easy do you?
You don’t make it easy do you?
You don’t make it easy do you?
You don’t make it
Playing show & tell you don’t want to
Show me anything you choose not to
Still you want to tell me
Everything
If you gave me a million years
I’m amazed that my thoughts we so clear
If you gave me a million years
Things aren’t always shitty you know
Well it’s just the way that things go
Sometimes they can go the other way
If you gave me a million years
You don’t make it easy do you?

Translating verbs
In past and present tense
Sifting the words
Trying to make some sense
Placing nouns
Identification clear
(A person, thing, state or just an idea)
Adjectives now
An interpretation’s near
(It just depends what you want to hear)
In my mind
I’m hiding my viewpoint for fear
In my mind
I’m hiding for fear of their fear
I’m dumbing down
I’m elaborating less
Can’t find the words to put my mind at rest
I’m reaching out
A communication test
Human connection with which we are blessed
In my mind
I’m hiding my viewpoint for fear
In my mind
I’m hiding for fear of their fear
Something sad
Has hold of us
Never give in
And never give up
That thing ‘sad’
Has no hold on us
Never give in
We’ll never give up
In my mind
I’m hiding my viewpoint for fear
In my mind
I’m hiding for fear of their fear

You were running around
When they told you to stand down
With your heartbroken fury
And nothing to get used to
And no-one to bring you down
We all run aground
When we’re chasing our tails ’round
When we’re searching for something
That’s hidden in the tunnels
And we’re six feet underground
Why can’t you see that’s it’s not over?
It’s not over ‘til you say
That you’ve forgiven them
For making you
For making you this way
You’re on a hiding to nothing
But you’re praying you can stay
You’re on a hiding to nothing
So you drink the night away
Breaking it down
Trying to drown out all the sound
Of all the fireworks and broken records
Playing in your mind
You’re on a hiding to nothing…..
Blinding and blue
Our hearts and minds are tired and true
You’re on a hiding to nothing…..

The Mad Riddle
05:54

We’re feeling less
Ignoring more
Of this mess
Repeating, repeating it all
Bringing on stress
Avoiding truths
To confess
And building, and building up walls
Here comes your downfall
Carefully tread
Settling scores
In your head
Your world is, your world is so small
Here comes your downfall
All I hear is sharpening knives
All I hear about’s the “best days of your lives”
All you see is in the past, the future’s mine
Please don’t leave us left behind
Your moral’s dead
Praying it’s “them” instead
Keep dropping, keep dropping the ball
Here comes your downfall
All I hear is sharpening knives
All I hear about’s the “best days of your lives”
All you see is in the past, the future’s mine
Please don’t leave us left behind
