I've Got A Rhythm 02:45
lyrics
buy track
I've Got A Rhythm I wish I was back there sometimes where I could be stoned in nature be absurd and still a saint I laughed at myself back there you know I didn't think I was so cool I was humbled and ignored there you tell me (chorus) Put on your cold face don't forget your cold stare you can act with your friends, man they see underneath you care but I've got a rhythm that says "fuck the world" I'd rather be alone than staring at the losers, the boozers and the cruisers am I right? Apologise to me You knew I could be touched you thought I was crazy just a dumb guy that didn't say too much I was afraid of my own shoes in your eyes when you left me there you left me there hypnotised I was humbled and ignored there well you told me (chorus x2)

Singsong #96 02:42
lyrics

Singsong #96 Another is not heard because it's dead you never hear it screaming in my head sometimes I feel sounds and take a pull A dreamer isn't strange he's just trying to keep his genius in control a drummer isn't loud he's just trying to keep the rock inside the roll Every word you've said has made me scared Took a deep breath had me running out of air sometimes I feel sounds and take a pull Satan isn't evil he's just trying to be as angry as the world Mary wasn't married she was trying to paint the surfaces with holes your face is getting much too close to mine everything is hazy where's the lines? sometimes I feel sounds and take a pull the self inflicted victim never has a rescue raft rowed to his room a shotgun never chants it only juggles feelings in its anxious tomb A dreamer isn't strange he's just trying to keep his genius in control Satan isn't evil he's just trying to be as angry as the world

My Mind's On The Run My mind's on the run I've let it fly too close to the sun I've been thinking of the goodness of men the kindness of men then you came and ruined all I had today I can't see you eye to eye pretend I'm shy If you want a friend don't ask me just tell me when then I won't be around I'll fly away from common ground Having friends is a memory a tragedy Because everyone I meet lets me down I'm square and they're round You're too cool for me I don't hate you if you hate me

Highway To Home (Chorus) Highway Highway to home HIghway Highway to home To the wasted plains I always take you now you sense there's a dead end waiting I put you through strange memories there you said I made you more aware the dance was one that I invented called spend yourself you're not expensive destroy yourself by me I am your torch on your highway to home (chorus) You spent your money and time on me you want to get the most from me but now I'm giving you less and less but that's the way my business gets you show yourself way sometimes meditating but it ain't the same don't you see I'm making you roam? On your highway to home (Chorus) I can't give you anymore than what you pay for I can't give you anymore than what you've given me I'm the drug you prayed and killed for I can't give you anymore you better follow me on the (Chorus)

Find The Love 03:50
lyrics
buy track
Find The Love Oh in my time of pain don't let your heart feel pain for we've danced in different moods in different hats 'neath different moons and we can still find a way to never fall from up high find the love find the love find the love find the love Shrug your shoulder gently my heart is scared up there you can be so cold with me but leave me room to breathe and we can still find a way to never fall from up high find the love find the love find the love find the love Just your smile can make this go away go away go away and if you don't I know I deserve the pain I have faith I ask faith. Ask your questions softer I don't want to shed a tear My heart is like an orphan looking back along the years and we can still find a way to never fall from up high find the love find the love find the love find the love

Falling On The Ground I'm tripping cold light on my face and oh how it feels to be abused I'm strolling through window panes thinking about sleeping in the rain living in single file has got me tearing up the tiles (Chorus) I'm falling on the ground again oh boy falling on the ground I'm falling on the ground again oh boy falling on the ground Whatever comes my way I guess I'll make it ok I'm pulling out of this war Driving me to this vice living off of their advice making the best of it is all I do each day so here I am (Chorus) (Chorus)

It's Time 02:51
lyrics
buy track
t's Time Today is like the day before I wonder who will slam the door who will win the fucking war? I've heard it since she hit the floor that day when he lost the job his bottle drunk the fucking slob blaming her because he's gone blaming her because he's gone Waiting to see him come after me It's time to tell him to blame himself waiting to see him agree with me shake his head and say he's done wrong. Today is like the day before except my face is feeling sore wonder what I spoke up for he never hears because his poor old daddy beat him long ago just because he ran from home maybe he could write this song maybe he could write this song. Waited to see him comfort me talk to me and be himself waiting to see him leave us be because he can't see that he's doing wrong.

So Alone 04:05

So Alone You're pictured in my mind behind an open door with wind and lightning thunder frightening You reach to wave goodbye communications there so enlightening so alone I had to realize the time to bond was gone you had no fever I didn't either I tried my special tricks each one in the trade it didn't matter you were alone Now you walk away just like how you came with wind and lightning very frightening I got my souvenir a useless new career at heartbreaking station going home

Stranger, You and I Stranger you and I have flight we skip through sands and moments in our might watch out for I'm coming after you don't slow down your back it might get broken (Chorus) You be the driver I'll be the wreck You be the gambler I'll be the debt You be the blade you'll be the death of me I slipped on something I was about to give in something was holding me back again I could have been funny but I rode on your soul it was rocky and desolate nowhere close home (Chorus) Well I want you to know now I'll make it up to you somehow (Chorus)

What Have You Done? 03:33
lyrics
buy track
What Have You Done? I know I may never change but I live with a fear of the same sad songs singing in my mind I should be very used to you I should try to get through to you and give you the warning signs (Chorus) I won't belong to no one for as long as you want me/love around you gave me the wrong warning signals signs and symptoms of crying/tangled riddles and I'm begging you asking you what have you done to me? you put me in a place where I must say no to such a sweet girl I'm frightened of telling you the final and painful truth it's the only thing left to do free you'll be such a free young soul and you can't find pain in growing old knowing life was not carved in stone. (Chorus)

Living Without Love 03:06
lyrics
buy track
Living Without Love I'll never believe in living a dream and feeling it's there to haunt me forever again. You've chosen your street which looks fine to me but it's riddled with gangsters who make you sick with desolation I know you now and you're wanting me to feel that it's better to be living without love Yesterday was fine because you showed me you could know me like yourself now you tell me that it's best for us just to run away from change. You've waited this long for a bittersweet song now you go away trying to push me away and you think that time will make me forget but you're not done yet you will make me regret the days I loved you and it's taking me a while to believe this is the right way out I know you now and you're wanting me to feel that it's better to be living without love I love you you tellin me it's fine and it's not worth fighting no more and you're making me believe that it's better to be living without love I love you I love you.

I Can't Complain 02:45
lyrics
buy track
I Can't Complain I can't complain I can run away but the ones with broken wheels can't run very far I'll never turn my back on they who trust and love with peace unconditionally. (chorus) I'm a silver spoon and I can't complain that I live while they die that I win while they fight that I cry while they laugh. I can think create and do my part and someone don't even know what these things are. And I hate life when I've been robbed or lost my job but at least I can get it back again (chorus x2)
