Hold Back the Sun
Hold back the sun. Hold back the sea. Hold back the sun. Hold back the sea.
​
It’s time, I sense the coming of a new tide. Right better be ready with a new ride. Oh no Stone man, fixed gaze, a fixed mind. Stood in line there’s time to waste with your eyes wide blind.
See.
Hold back the sun. Hold back the sea. Hold back the sun. Hold back the sea.
Good lies take time.
​
Sunrise, the day comes the ever now. High tide is here for me.
All rise the day comes, a reckoning. But nothing changes me.
Oh no stone man, he can move fast if he like.
Just in time, to watch it all burn down one last time.
See.
Hold back the sun. Hold back the sea. Hold back the sun. Hold back the sea.
Good lies take time.
​
Sunrise, the day comes the ever now. High tide is here for me.
All rise the day comes, a reckoning. But nothing changes me.
The ever now
All rise. See the devil laugh. All rise. A sinking man. Try and move me.
I’m moving now.
I will make new eyes.
Fool, you don't need eyes to see.
Who'll Love You Now?
All rather functional the taking apart of my mind what a notion; to figure it out?
I’m not emotional taking apart my mind sees the enemy laughing out loud.
The shell crumbles down, turn around, don’t look back and run
Can’t slow down.
Road don’t run out.
Forever now, a restless man.
Just running around
Who’ll love you now?
Who’ll love you now?
Road don’t run out.
Who’ll love u now?
Nothing sensible, disemboweling my mind what nonsense is trickling out.
A commotion, running riot in my mind sees the enemy sending out flares.
There’s gaping black tears, I need to get right out of here.
Can’t slow down.
Road don’t run out.
Forever now, a restless man
Just running around
Who’ll love you now?
Who’ll love you now?
Road don’t run out.
Who’ll love you now?
Who’ll love you now?
Who’ll love you now?
Who’ll love you now?
Who’ll love you now?
Old Days
Old days are gone never coming back
Just thrown away like an old rag
That’s found its way out of my hands
Out of my hands
Never coming back
Never coming back
It’s out of my hands
No not again not again
Try and keep up with me I’m running
Damn fast I’m shaking
My legs are knots and weeds
My arms out wide I am a tease
You lie as I pass you by
No more dreamy lay-bys
You're tired and needing sleep
What havoc I can reap
There’s the punch in the face
And don’t get back up again
This time
found a way
make this mine
found my way
Never going back
Never going back
It’s in my hands
Don't Mind Me
Oh no you’ve got to go
Too long, I’m taking control
Sweet dreams and memories
Now I’m on a different breeze
Don’t mind me
One more day with you
Is another day too soon
I’m taking a different point of view
So shoo
Oh no you’ve got to go
End your one man show
Fine times with captain Bligh
I’m overboard tonight
Well now don’t you mind me
Don’t mind me
Don’t you mind
Now I see you
So shoo
Oh no you’ve got to go
Too long I’m taking control
Sweet dreams and memories
Now I’m on a different breeze
Don’t mind me
I Want it All
She said I wanted nothing, I did
I wanted something that she couldn’t give
Actions aren’t matching the words from your mouth
Now my heads reeling in fear and in doubt
I want it all
I want it all
Eyes low when talking slow, that’s all I needs
I see those holes and my head it will feed
Actions aren’t matching those words from your mouth
Time taken, shields breaking, sewn up then out
I want it all
You take it high
Then take it low
Why don’t you say what you mean?
As hard as it seems
I need authenticity
That is what I need
I want it all
I want it all
Why don't you say?
Why don't you say?
Why don't you say?
What you mean
Once it’s out I’m all in
Once it’s out I’m all in
Once it’s out I’m all in
Once it’s out I'm all in
Why don’t you say what you mean?
As hard as it seems
I need authenticity
That is what I need
I want it all
I want it all
Breathe Easy
The bitch is going nowhere slowly
She even knows it but can’t shut her mouth
Her only skill is falling down not getting up please shut her up
But I I I don’t want to die
I just want to light up the sky
I I I don’t want to die
Breathe easy
Breathe easy
You know you can’t take it with you
You fucking idiot, now they’re fucking with your head
Leaving him all on his own I’m glad he’s alone with certainty gone
But I I I don’t want to die
I just want to light up the sky
I I I don’t want to die
Breathe easy
Breathe easy
Watch them yearn
Watch them turn
As they line up in turn
Make some money then give it away
Make some money then we’ll give it away
Make some money then give it away
Make some money then we’ll give it away
Give it away
Give it away
Watch them yearn
See them turn
As they line up in turn
Make some money then give it away
Make some money then we’ll give it away
Make some money then give it away
Make some money then we’ll give it away
Away
Chasing Days
​
She said you don’t sing about me except in that one song head
I said don’t you bloody nag I'll get around to it some time soon
She turned frowned then ran away pulled a funny face which made me laugh
Right then I’d better get running cos she’s quicker than she looks, quicker than she looks and all eyes
Oh, I'm chasing all these days away
I know I know I know chasing days they race away, race away
Quicker than it looks, quicker than it looks
Oh shut it out now she walks the halls
Turned around to me and she called my name
Right now I’d better get right now
Cos she's flying out the door, she’s flying out the door
I'm thinking about talking about
Shouting it out singing it loud
Thinking about talking about it.
I'm thinking about talking about
Shouting it out singing it loud
Not thinking about talking about it.
Not thinking about talking about
I’m actually singing about you.
Oh, I'm chasing all these days away
I know I know I know, I'm chasing, they’re racing, I’m chasing, they’re racing
Chasing all these days away, it’s getting late
Quicker than it looks, quicker than it looks all eyes
Bleeding Out
​
​
I tell you all the time, normally in a lie, normally when I try and rhyme and sing
I bleed out all the time, normally in lines, normally when the sky is falling in
I tell you all the time, help me
I bleed out all the time, tear me
I tell you all the time, tear me tear me tear me
I tell you all the time, normally in a lie, normally when I try and rhyme and sing
I bleed out all the time, normally in lines, normally when the sky is falling in
I tell you all the time to help me
I bleed out all the time, tear me
I tell you all the time, tear me tear me
Tear me tear me tear me tear me
I’m all out of all this love
I stand back and see it all
But I can’t stand on my own
I’m all out of all this…..
On weekdays I’m all in
On weekends I’m broken
Tightropes keep forming
I’m walking I'm falling
Ocean
​
​
Short waves
Cold frown
Sea taste
In my mouth
Freezing
In a black suit
With no tie
I’m cold through
Come on come on come on
We got to go got to get up get up
And oh we got to hear that song
Hear the ocean
Come on come on come on
We got to go got to get up get up
And oh we got to hear that song
Hear the ocean
Who decided this cold fate?
Towing a trailer in a foreign land
My time has gone
I got a bitter feeling
My ears are numb
Water torture (taking)
Its hold on me
Waves are breaking
Head down
Far out
Poor diction
From my mouth
Pissing
In a black suit
With no tie
I’m warm through
Come on come on come on
We got to go got to get up get up
And oh we got to hear that song
Hear the ocean
Come on come on come on
We got to go got to get up get up
And oh we got to hear that song
Hear the ocean
My time has come
see the wave appearing
a setting sun
I push up firmly
I’m on my way
just as quickly
back down again
Another One Down
​
Ain’t no time for thinking
Got The Langenhams now
I got no time to waste
I’m gonna keep on drinking
Get another one down
Cos I got the lungs I got the lungs
And there’s another one down
Now
You might think I’m joking
About The Langenhams now
And when I play you sing it out
And we’re gonna keep on drinking
Get another one down
Cos I got the lungs I got the lungs
We got to get our head down
Now we'll get on a run, let’s get this done
There’s another one down
Now
Be the big stars
See the big stars
I’m seeing stars
Now
Now
You might think I’m joking
Now, cos I got the lungs, I got the lungs
We got to get our head down
Now, we’ll get on a run, let’s get this done
And there’s another one down
Now
Ugly
​
These are heavy days I don’t know where the weight's from
And yum they were heady days but I didn’t notice just how high up I was
These are heavy days, perfectly not really but seems it to me
Then you take my moral side from me
I can’t place what it is but maybe
Maybe
Seems to
Be your
Face
You took it off the table
Tried to avoid trouble
I lined up all my armies
And pointed them right at you
You took it off the table
To try and stay in control
I lined up all my armies
Armed them with hate
You take my moral side from me
Now I can place what it is it’s your face
Your face
Clearly
Perfectly
Faced
Faced
Faced
Faced
My head feels like you look
My head feels like you look
My head feels like you look
You ugly fuck
My head feels like you look
My head feels like you look
My head feels like you look
You ugly fucker
Like you look
like you look
like you look
you ugly fuck
Sand in My Feet
Going back to the beach
I'll stand there in tree
I got sand in my feet
Time stopping and breathe
I know it’s only sand I gotta get a grip
I gotta just chill out and see
Other people don’t seem to care about it somehow and maybe it’s just me?
After all the sun is shining
We’re young and alight
These days won’t be here forever
You're alive You're alive
Let’s make it a rule
Let's make it a rule
In the time we wait I'll march (with) you too
In time and in you
When I’m thinking of you
Come and get it
I make it a rule
I’m thinking of you to fight by you
I’ve been thinking of you and I’m taking it true the march you do
Come and get it
I make it a rule
Come and get it
​
I Don't Want to Fight with You tonight
I’m always on the run
Never quite sure what I’m running from
The stare, the glare, the fence is down
About time I let it all out
I don’t want to hide from you tonight
I’ll give you my whole heart no more lying
I’ll let out the black and you can see it all
Maybe today’s the day we fall
It’s not going very well
What the hell was I thinking
Some of the things that’s in my head
Only meant to be thought and never said
I don’t want to fight with you tonight
I gave you my whole heart no more lying
I let out the black and you can see it all
Maybe today’s the day we fall
Hard times
Hard times
They’re back again
Hard times
They’re not hard times
They’re our old friends
I don’t want to fight with you tonight
I gave you my whole heart l could make it right
Write you a sweet song I'll tear another sun
Whatever it takes can be done.
I don’t want to fight with you tonight
I don’t want to fight with you tonight
I don’t want to fight with you tonight
With you tonight
With you tonight
