We could all be waxing lyrical, About things that seem so simple, With a wish that time could stop. But that clockwatch still lingers, Not a movement of it's hands, Since the bombs last struck. And it seems to take an age, For that pendulum to swing, When in a state like this I lie. I haven't seen you in so long, You're memory is long gone, Don't worry - we'll be alright. 3 hours on a bus ride, I swear my love that I tried, To keep us going strong. When I get out of your sight, I swear to god that I'll cry, As what we had is gone.

After All 03:06
I see the moon, I see the stars up above. What rolls off my tongue and into your ears? Well it's love. And I don't know, just how long. But hey while we wait how about I try to sing you a song? After all. It starts with a verse, And I bet I'm way out of key. But I know you got some spare time please give it to me. It sounds like a waltz, From times gone by. If you don't believe me just get up and give it a try. After All. If you want to sing, Sing it out loud.

Take me out of the country, Just for a little while, Til I’m good and ready, To return home in style. When I’m good and ready, I’ll make it home ok, Take me out of the country, Just for the day. Send me to the city, To see how they live there, I don’t know if it’s better, But I’ll find out I swear, Send me to the city, I won’t come back the same, Send me to the city, Just for the day. I’ll travel through the hillsides, The clouds hang over me, Sunshine will come soon, Just you wait and see, Travel through the hillsides, I’ll battle through the rain, I’m going up/travel through the hillsides, Baby today. Take me out of the country, I’m bored of the same sights, I’m don’t feel right there anymore, I’m tired of this fight. Take me out of the country, I’ve got to get away, Take me out of the country, Darling – today.

I lie awake in this rusty shell, Just trying to think of a way to get me out of this hell. Or just 5 more minutes of that restless sleep... And I pray to the lord for my soul him to keep And I sing, Hallelujah. Now wait a minute Joe, Can't you see that right now. We're the only ones left to stop the sky crashing down. And I can't understand where it all went wrong, But don't worry about the others man they'll be right along. And I sing, Hallelujah. I can't believe you fell for her part. She took you to pieces and Left her fingerprints on your stolen heart. Fingerprints on your stolen heart. Where you gonna run to? Where you gonna hide? Which lover's arms will you fall into tonight?
5.
So won't you come down? It's getting late I'm not sure now, If you can't see that we want out. I've been dying, To tell you I'm not gonna sit, Back and watch you fall to bits. You're elegance is short tonight, But I'm not giving up the fight. We'll scorch our lungs and scar our livers, Waiting for a time. When those subplot pricks with all their shit, Will cease to be around. We'll scorch our lungs and scar our livers, Waiting for a time. I'll be waiting out for you, On the other side of town Tonight my dear I'll stay home, With the late night channels and a telephone. For what is left for me to save, If you don't need me anyway?

Oh honey you've been driving me insane, Oh honey go on call me that again, Tell me baby if I'm the guy you're thinking of, Tell me baby if you've ever really loved. Because I don't think you have, Now you'll never get mine back. Send me out by the stones, With the hippies and hill, 'Cause they'll heal my soul, More than your loving will. And if you keep on running, And if you dare look back, Well I won't be there, To pick up your slack. Oh sugar you've toying far too long, Oh sugar tell me where did I go wrong? Now listen if you think you did your best, I tell you I feel sorry for everyone else, 'Cause they gotta put up with you, Now I'm just tired babe, I'm through.

Tell me brother did you hear the news today? They're trying to lower the minimum wage. To keep their corporate businesses afloat, And leave us stuck down here all alone. God help me. God help me. God help me. Not alone in this fight, Come on join us come on. The BBC say that they're down on their knees, Just like those kids from 1973. And when parliament all fell from the same tree, Tell me when it is I'll start to believe?

Takes her hair out his mouth with some in trepidation, To see what He’d make of this strange situation, He pulls her head closer to kiss her again, And her hair will return to where it has been. She flings back her head in her giddy excitement, Throws caution to winds when her senses are heightened, Not the first time she’s forgone that quiet night in, But she’s convinced herself to just keep on smiling. She gathers herself to stare out the window, To the stars up above that she used to dream of. The stain on the sheet takes the mood down a level, To the realisation she’s given in to her devil. She picks up her things and sulks to the bathroom, To wash off the guilt that is etched onto her skin, The memory will linger but deep down inside her, As she says to herself “now just keep on smiling”. I know that she’ll kill me if she ever finds out, But you led me on – she screams to her man, After all of these years it’s finally clicked, No more late night ventures to go get her fix. The stress that she feels led her into his arms, Even though it’s her one friend that he’s cheating on, There’s no corner left that she can now hide in, Put on a brave face now she’ll “just keep on smiling” Goes back to work just the very next day, To glances and whispers that all come her way, She streams out the office, grabs a handful of pills, Decides ‘I’ve taken enough’ and she takes off her heels. She tears to the roof to survey her surroundings, Such is the world that she has now drowned in, She flies off the edge to the street she resides in, And thinks to herself “at least I kept smiling...”

Fight 04:22
Late night, no one else is here, When I walk in and see you lying there. Thought you hit your floor? What’s gone on in your head? I can’t take much more, Curled up alone in our bed. All I want, Is for you to be alright, All I need, Is for you to come out and fight. No one saw it coming, or that you fell apart. Now I see, you hit the bottle hard. You were my hero, now you’ve fallen down. I’m so angry but it’s not the time right now.
10.
Lie To Me 03:36
She’s coming over just for the day, Be here for an hour then she’s going away, I can’t remember when she held me tight, And I can’t remember when she last spent the night. ‘Cause it’s hard sleeping, When you’re waiting for the light. I’ve been thinking, Would you lie to me and say, It’s gonna be alright? A bottle of tequila and chardonnay, That half drunk vodka well it aint here to stay. ‘Cause I’ve been drinking, Just to help me sleep at night. I’ve been thinking, Would you lie to me and say, It’s gonna be alright?
11.
Turn round the key, And pray for ignition. For the two of us babe, It’s time to stop wishing. Because I’ve had enough, Enough of this place, And I’ve watched your fall from grace. So won’t you calm down, And I’ll sooth your wounds, From forgotten lovers like, Forgotten show tunes. Because darling you ain’t, No you ain’t strong enough. Darling you ain’t ready for love. But if you turn to me and say “where am I now? Because I let love in then it tore my heart down. Don’t tell me that I will find it soon again. If it’s so easy to come by then it ain’t worth the pain.” Now listen my dear, I’ve been through my share, Of long, lonely winters, And nights not in her bed. But I cling to hope, The hope that she’ll come. And I cling to hope that someday someone...
