(Track #1) Please Don't Send Me Away

Tell me now what have you done
To justify your life, my son?
Did you help your brothers, when they were down?
And when the bullets flew, did you stick around?

I had no words, I never spoke
If I had said one thing, you wouldn't know
I did no harm, I hurt no-one,
Why you ask me now, my chance has gone?

Please don't send me away
I want to come in
If you give me today
I will try again

Child, I gave you all the breaks,
But all you did was take and take
You say you did no harm, but you did no good,
And never sought redemption
I think you should

I realise my selfish love
Has always got me through, by just enough
I never thought this day would come
When the demons of my soul would be undone

Please don't send me away
I want to come in
If you give me today
I will try again

Look up and see the angels
The gates have opened up for you
I hope your mind is peaceful
And love is everything you do

Three more inches of hair
Is a whole fucking world
Of rebellion
Happy happy, I will forget
So many things which are bad
Which leaves me only with good thoughts

Why are you staring at me?
You're breaking my nose from twenty-five feet
Are you really that small?

Talking to you now
Is the easiest thing
In all of fucking hell
Slowly turning the key
Am I going or blowing out?

Why are you staring at me?
You're breaking my nose from twenty-five feet
Are you really that small?

Honesty is a beautiful lie
People say what they will to get by
All the girls sing-along to that song
Like a four minute rebellion

I wish I could read, I mean really read
A book or something
Tough guy in the film
Only makes me want
To smoke every mother

Why are you staring at me?
You're breaking my nose from twenty-five feet
Are you really that small?

Honesty is a beautiful lie
People say what they will to get by
All the girls sing-along to that song
Like a four minute rebellion

(Track #3) You're Not Here

Waiting for a bus that won't come to pick me up
I could think of you while I stand here turning blue

Even though it's cold, it won't snow or so I'm told
I'm not sure that's true, but she sounded like she knew

You're not here
That's the reason I'm low
Today and the rest of the time when you're gone
Oh no! I can't picture your face
How soon 'till I'm with you again?

Payphone starts to ring, I pick up and someone sings
I don't know the song and I hang up before long

You're not here
That's the reason I'm low
Today and the rest of the time when you're gone
Oh no! I can't picture your face
How soon 'till I'm with you again?

(Track #4) I Hope She's Alright

Talk to me, tell me why you're feeling down
Let me know if you really want me around, yeah
In your eyes I can't see myself anymore, no
Take a day to think before you close the door

If I'm in your thoughts
I'm where I wanna be
Listen, you have to close your eyes before you see, yeah

I hope she's alright
I hope she's OK, yeah
If we're through, I don't think I'll last another day

Talk to me, tell me why you're feeling down
Let me know if you really want me around, yeah
In your eyes I can't see myself anymore, no
Take a day to think before you close the door

If I'm in your thoughts
I'm where I wanna be
Listen, you have to close your eyes before you see, yeah

I hope she's alright
I hope she's OK, yeah
If we're through, I don't think I'll last another day

She's gonna be fine (she's gonna be)

It's been a long time since we hung around together in the street
And I miss those days, when the world would wait for us
With our crowd of friends, we'd sit along the pavement near your house
'Till the sun came down and we brought the stars out

When I heard it for the first time I could only stand and cry
You were just a boy, we were all so innocent
Oh we never thought this kind of thing would happen in our lives
But it broke our hearts and we won't forget, no

All this time has fallen through me since you've been gone
And I wonder where you are,
Cos you've never let me know
Oh no no…

You're always going too soon
I'm always left on my own
It's OK, I understand, sometimes life can hold you down

I can see your face as clearly now today, as I could then
And it doesn't fade, but the times have changed so much
I would like to tell you all about the things that we have done
And we're doing fine, but I think you know that

All this time has fallen through me since you've been gone
And I wonder where you are,
Cos you've never let me know
Oh no no…

You're always going too soon
I'm always left on my own
It's OK, I understand, sometimes life can hold you down

Oh I never believed her
She was never that kind
Sometimes I would be with her
And she tangled my mind

I wish I knew if she was real
Could it be that she lived only inside me
Just for me?

Oh I couldn't believe her
Words are never that clear
Slowly I realised that
I was the only one there

Sunday's what I need
But that don't mean that I can't face the week
She has never been a part of me
But that's OK she's fake

(Track #3) Heading Out

I'm so bored doing nothing here
If you want we can change this year
When you said 'truth lies inbetween'
I could tell that you'd never been

Put on your shoes
Can we run away

'Cos we're young we don't need to rush
Who's done what doesn't mean that much

Told you I'd be waiting for you
Couldn't let you down now
Let's be heading out now

Why don't you ever come out with the words I want?
You don't inspire me so I'll tell you that I think it's time that you fell

You have been hanging on now for so long my friend
I'm sick of your face and your money won't buy you a page in my book

You sold out straight away
For a magazine life in a day
And left me cold

Soon all those people will be left by the roadside
And we'll change direction and release what we're holding inside

When you were younger you could have done anything
And saved us from where we are going, but you chose the easy road down

Now you've abandoned the dream that you preached so well
I hope that you're happy and live like the king you know you could have been

I'm reaching deep within myself
I'm trying to tell you what I know
I even kept the photograph
Of when I nearly let you go
You separate your love for me
From every single one you had
Away with all that's gone before
Let your shoulder fall

I'm coming for your love today
It's lucky that you came this way
I'm loving how I think about you now
For many years it's been so slow
And only now we start to know
Just what it is to shoot out of our minds

I'm shaking like a newborn tree
My idol left without a trace
I never thought you'd understand
You licked the tears right off my face
I couldn't trust the telephone
It doesn't say the lies you mean
Away with all that's gone before
Let your shoulder fall

I'm coming for your love today
It's lucky that you came this way
I'm loving how I think about you now
For many years it's been so slow
And only now we start to know
Just what it is to shoot out of our minds

Waves of sadness came
On the beach today
Hold on now it won't be long
'Till we're on our way

I'm home for national holidays
Let's hook up in a coffee bar
Won't you bring your friend who's lost in space
Don't you worry if it's not your car
I'm joking, and I think you know
I love it when you're playing dumb
Away with all that's gone before
Let your shoulder fall

I'm coming for your love today
It's lucky that you came this way
I'm loving how I think about you now
For many years it's been so slow
And only now we start to know
Just what it is to shoot out of our minds

Louie are you looking for a meaning?
I've seen how you struggled for some time
You're never in a state that I can talk any sense to

Oh Louie, don't do it
Don't break your mother's heart

Someone told me something I'll remember
A friend of yours who says she knows you well
She told me how you used to be a hero to a few

Oh Louie, don't do it
Don't break your mother's heart
Louie, don't do it
Don't break your mother's heart

Laughing on the outside isn't fooling no-one
And your friends are no help, pretending nothing is wrong
Oh, can't tell if it's dark or if you're closing your eyes
Fire's glowing, almost out

Louie don't you waste another morning
Lying to yourself about the sun
There's nothing anyone can do but tell you what you're losing

Oh Louie, don't do it
Don't break your mother's heart
Louie, don't do it
Don't break your mother's heart

Faith in love is just enough to hold you
Faith in love is just enough to hold on

Louie are you looking for a meaning
I don't know if I can help you there
But if you wanna walk beside me 'till you see a street light

Then do it, but Louie
Don't break your mother's heart
Louie, don't do it
Don't break your mother's heart

I'm drawing circles and stepping through them
She's on the flipside and won't be moving
Until I get there where she's awaiting
For me to take her into the building

Always fine to lay it bare
Move in time to anywhere
Nothing told to anyone
Who comes and says, 'the money's gone'

(Track #1) Please Don't Send Me Away

Tell me now what have you done
To justify your life, my son?
Did you help your brothers, when they were down?
And when the bullets flew, did you stick around?

I had no words, I never spoke

I did no harm, I hurt no-one,
Why you ask me now, my chance has gone?

Please don't send me away

When the demons of my soul would be undone

Please don't send me away

If you give me today

Look up and see the angels
The gates have opened up for you
I hope your mind is peaceful
And love is everything you do

(Track #3) Aurea

The story starts at 5 am
In a big old house with all my friends
I'm dancing like a polar bear
I turn around and see you there
And so I ask you if you'll stay and celebrate the day
A little more before you're on your way
To which you sweetly did reply 'Oh aye'

I'd never felt such joy
I was so high
I wanna live that night in another life
Every mind in that house was surfing on a special wave yeah
Mine was the only one she could save

Together standing on the lawn
We saw a new time being born
The sun came up and hurt my eyes yeah
And so you led me back inside
And then I thought I'd take a risk and hold out for a kiss
So I aim, I shoot, I miss
What a way to start the year, oh dear

I'd never felt such joy
I was so high
I wanna live that night in another life
Every mind in that house was surfing on a special wave yeah
Mine was the only one she could save

(Track #1) Call My Name Out

I wanna be in your life, you turn me on
With your crooked smile
Whenever I look at you, I feel as though
It's all coming right
Love isn't the only thing that's on your mind
With that crooked smile

Call my name out
Call my name out

She's never available, she'll tell you why
With her crooked smile
I know all about the past she wants to hide
But I couldn't care
Pain, love on a windowsill
Collected up in her crooked smile

Call my name out
Call my name out

Hey na na na na na, na hey na na, yey hey yeah
Hey na na na na na, na hey na na, yey hey yeah

Call my name out
Call my name out

I wanna be in your life, you turn me on
Whenever I look at you, I feel as though
It's all coming right

Hey na na na na na, na hey na na

Tripping again over the sun
Angels laughing, all but one
He's seen me drop a million times before
It won't hurt him anymore
For this time I'm jumping over the flame and he'll smile as the others look down
But I won't be falling or burning my shoes when the circus comes to town

Need her, body and eyes
No chance I'll ever survive on a phone call
Relating my day
Easy rider didn't mean it that way

All of the faces in the crowd
Have an angel singing loud
They're fighting with each other in the blue
For your lovers sake and you
The people are stupid, they're running around like they're saving the world everyday
They're hard to put up with, because you're so fine all the trouble stays away

Need her, body and eyes
No chance I'll ever survive on a phone call
Relating my day
Easy rider didn't mean it that way

Three more inches of hair
Is a whole fucking world
Of rebellion
Happy happy, I will forget
So many things which are bad
Which leaves me only with good thoughts

Why are you staring at me?
You're breaking my nose from twenty-five feet
Are you really that small?

Talking to you now
Is the easiest thing
In all of fucking hell
Slowly turning the key
Am I going or blowing out?

Why are you staring at me?
You're breaking my nose from twenty-five feet

It's OK, I understand, sometimes life can hold you down

And it doesn't fade, but the times have changed so much
I would like to tell you all about the things that we have done

Oh no no…

You're always going too soon
I'm always left on my own
It's OK, I understand, sometimes life can hold you down

Everything could die tomorrow
Would you still say what you said?
I'm cold and don't understand how
Sometimes things I say cut deep

I only meant to say the words that you needed
Oh and I only seem to dig a little further down

Years from now I will return to
Say the things I never could
Maybe you will not remember
Maybe you will not forget

I only meant to say the words that you needed
Oh and I only seem to dig a little further down

I'm on a river nowhere
I'm on a river nowhere, now

I only meant to say the words that you needed
Oh and I only seem to dig a little further down

Storm dies, younger brother calls for his mother
Son, she said, follow me instead
Cloud rains tears, now the storm has cleared
Blown through time, let her mother shine

Still sees his father over the river
He pours a little his way
Shows him there's a way

Sea's calm now, but I don't know how
To bring in the tide and call the storm inside

Still sees his father over the river
He pours a little his way
Shows him there's a way

Won't be here very long
I know where I should be now

Rise and fall, and we will still be all
That we held so dear
When the storm was here

Still sees his father over the river
He pours a little his way
Shows him there's a way

Won't be here very long
I know where I should be now
Won't be here very long
I know where I should be now

I wanna be in your life, you turn me on
With your crooked smile
Whenever I look at you, I feel as though
It's all coming right
Love isn't the only thing that's on your mind
With that crooked smile

Call my name out
Call my name out

She's never available, she'll tell you why
With her crooked smile
I know all about the past she wants to hide
But I couldn't care
Pain, love on a windowsill
Collected up in her crooked smile

Call my name out
Call my name out

Hey na na na na na, na hey na na, yey hey yeah
Hey na na na na na, na hey na na, yey hey yeah

Call my name out
Call my name out

I wanna be in your life, you turn me on
Whenever I look at you, I feel as though
It's all coming right

Hey na na na na na, na hey na na

Tell me now what have you done

Please don't send me away

Look up and see the angels
The gates have opened up for you
I hope your mind is peaceful
And love is everything you do

Remember this feeling
It will come again
But until it does
Remember this feeling
When everything makes sense
Everything makes sense

I woke up this evening
From the night before
Feeling really ill
My last Seratonin
Must have deserted me while I was sleeping

I put a dot next to everything that makes any sense
And join the dots, and join the dots
I said
I put a dot next to everything that makes any sense
And join the dots, and join the dots

Remember this feeling
It will come again
But until it does
Remember this feeling
When everything makes sense
Everything makes sense

And then I remember
All the things I did
And it makes me smile
I saw so much beauty
And kissed her red wine lips
It made my Tuesday

I put a dot next to everything that makes any sense
And join the dots, and join the dots
I said
I put a dot next to everything that makes any sense
And join the dots, and join the dots

Remember this feeling

Oh he could be different from the rest
If only he believed the Voice
That speaks inside him,
Telling him that beauty hides beneath his skin
But nasty people who don't have the Voice
Will try to slow him down
They might beat him sometimes,
But his words will all rhyme

Become yourself my boy,
You know you're halfway there
It's not so easy living with your soul laid bare
But you will find out
That a little courage pays off
Become yourself my boy and then you get somewhere

When he was a boy he could see something
Written out across the sky
Though he was young he recognised his name
Among the other words
And later realised 'Become Yourself'
Was what the message said
Though he still was not sure,
So he waited some more

Become yourself my boy,
You know you're halfway there
It's not so easy living with your soul laid bare
But you will find out
That a little courage pays off
Become yourself my boy and then you get somewhere

It would be so shameful
If he strolled through life without taking a chance
He should stop living in the shadows
And begin to use his head
'Cos no-one else today can do the things
That he was born to do
He should trust in the Voice,
It's not even a choice

Become yourself my boy,
You know you're halfway there
It's not so easy living with your soul laid bare
But you will find out
That a little courage pays off
Become yourself my boy and then you get somewhere

If you're in there, you must come out
I have no time left for any doubt
They're chasing me, they want you too
You'd be much safer if I was with you

So I will reach the clearing, don't you worry
The end is nearing, in a hurry

I fall asleep and meet you there
And bring you into a strange affair
You live and breathe in other minds
And sell my future a thousand times

So I will reach the clearing, don't you worry
The end is nearing, in a hurry (ooh yeah)

I don't know the place that you have come here from
It's a mystery to me and I don't belong
In a piece of sunshine or a line of rain
Having said all that, I will be here again

I've got you now, you're on my plane
A heavy burden has left my brain
I was relieved that car went by
They never caught me and you know why

Now I have reached the clearing, don't you worry
The end is nearing, in a hurry (ooh yeah)

I don't know the place that you have come here from
It's a mystery to me and I don't belong
In a piece of sunshine or a line of rain
Having said all that, I will be here again

I don't know, I don't know…

Tell me when you're coming
So I can come too
The blood is rushing to my head
Caused by you
The congregation left the church
They won't be going very far today
Want you to be lying easy
Getting a world away

Why you started running?
You're glowing so fine
The 'Happy and You Know It' look
Is in decline
You should be listening to your Mum
She only wants the best for everyone
Your ocean eyes are glazing over
I think that means you won

'And I like you,' I hear you say
Not surprising for the time of day
Very welcome, all the same
Any more of this chemical love, I'll forget my name

Tell me when you're coming
So I can come too
The blood is rushing to my head
Caused by you
The congregation left the church
It must be for the second time today
Need you to be lying easy
'Cos I'm a world away
