1)*Nicked vein* The needle stuck in your vein, Is the only way you can numb the pain That you've carried with you For all of these years These years Chorus: A junkie is all you're ever going to be Unless you stand up and fight for your destiny Do to your body what you want But your friends have to share the cost Of this drug that you need To hide from your fears Your fears A friend reaches out a hand He's trying to help you stand You push him away You are pushing yourself to your Grave 2)*Happy today* I can't believe it's been five years Since I wondered where I'd be in five years time I can't remember what I thought But it was nothing along these lines Chorus: You've got to be happy with who you are You've got to be happy with what you've got Because you never know when it's going to change So just be happy Today You know I've fallen in love More times than out My head has been fighting with my heart So long now, that I've forgotten what about It's too little too late Or too much too soon You've got to stop fighting with yourself That's a fight you'll always lose 3)*Mexico* I drank too much last night again Now today won't seem to end A crazy girl proposed to me Before I even knew her name She said tell me does it make you scared To know you'll make me your wife I smiled and introduced myself And asked what we'll do for the rest of our lives Chorus: She said run, we'll run away from here To Mexico we'll fly When it comes we'll know the day But have no time for goodbyes She knew my words before I sang them So I asked her how she knew She cocked her head and winked at me And said they're my words too And all we say is scripted So sometimes it's best just to read along Because some things will always happen But the fragile things never seem to last too long She wants her life to be a fairy tale And tonight Cinderella's ball At the very least to live a poem So she quotes Dylan all night long Bridge: Then she ran, she ran away from me Left a glass slipper and a kiss on my cheek And she whispered, whispered these words to me May all but one of your dreams come to be. Fly 4)*Half Full* Aint it funny how the days keep coming he said To himself as he rolled out of bed And he wondered how much time it is he has left Between now and the day that he's dead Chorus: You've got to do everything like it's your last Hold every second in your grasp Drink till you hold an empty glass And spare not a moment for your past As he realised that one day he would die He looked on up to the sky The moon was half gone and, well he felt forlorn For a life not yet lived he did mourn As he laid to rest, with a heavy heart in his chest Thoughts of tomorrow were bitter at best For, to work he'd return and inside he would burn For a life left behind he did yearn 5)*3rd person female* She's at her wits end; Life's only just beginning, She's learning how to swim, But so far she's only sinking Chorus: And she can't trust herself, Doesn't know quite what she's feeling She's screaming at the wall, As she climbs up to the ceiling Because when she fell from grace, She hit the ground bleeding The lines on her face Don't make for good reading And when she talks in her sleep She always ends up screaming She knows her life would be complete If only seeing was believing 6)*Juliette's Song* I believe in love at first sight If the time and place are right And it feels like I'm in the right place tonight As you walk by me I doubt you barely see But me I see our destiny Chorus: If you see it too, but you need a little more Take a second look before you walk out that door Won't you tell me your name? We don't have to play these games Come with me you'll never be the same I know we haven't much time Because soon you'll have to fly Give me a minute I'll make it last your life Chorus: If your fear is holding you back from The way that you feel Say the word and we can Make this real Or just keep walking along We can live within this song In these words our love will live and die 7)*Never Again* He falls out of bed, and into his flairs He rolls down the stairs To a cupboard that's bare Picks up the phone; talks to nobody there He walks out the door, on his way to the fair The sight of her face, and her two toned hair Red stockings red sweater, red scarf that she wears Brightens his day from mild mannered despair So he sits, and he writes, all the way, in his chair. So unassuming was her gentle air As she walked by him so it seemed with no cares She faces away and he can't help but stare He wants to talk to her but he wouldn't dare 8)*New Shore* I cross every bridge with a match in my hand I strike it up and through it down just before I reach land I have no need for somewhere I've been before I want to find me a new way want to board a new shore I have no time for wasting just like I used to do I was wasting my time the day that I met you But don't take it poorly because I loved you so dearly Its just now you are gone I am seeing so clearly A while a go I made quite a choice On whether to shut up or whether to voice I chose the latter, although hard it may be To voice your opinion when nobody agrees And I don't care too much what people say about me Cos most of the time I think I tend to agree So say what you will, if you will what you say But I say what I would if it was my last day 9)*Next to you* I can see you in my mind When I close my eyes If you let me I would like to stay the night If you don't well then I'll have to take flight Take flight When you look at me I see beauty; divine When you touch me I get shivers up and down my spine If you want to I would like you to be mine If you don't well then I just might have to cry I might cry Now I sit here, all alone in this room Hoping that you will change your mind soon Hoping that I work out what I have to do To make you want me to be the one next to you You 10)*Eternity* Time is moving slowly today Every second feels like an hour And every breath he takes, He takes eternity He feels a pulse, not of a heart, Of a river flowing, and ever knowing Chorus: Then he steps outside into the day He raises his face to be dried by the rain He don't need to know what anything is about Because he fills up his soul and he spits the rest out With each step he moves but an inch He is knocked back by a breeze To him a howling wind He hears a voice, not through his ears, The voice of his soul, dispelling all fears 11)*Full of Fire* I write because I hold a pen I drive because there's a road ahead I laugh, because I don't want to cry I feel because I have a heart I'll end because I had a start I sing this song because of you Chorus: I hear you and I'm so inspired My heart is full of fire I look and suddenly I find I'm tired because I'm lacking sleep I'm silent because talk is cheap I left, because I needed to be alone, I'm wet because I love the rain I sing because I feel no pain I'm right, because I know that I am I look because I need to see I'm here because you set me free I listen, because I love your voice I eat because my hunger grows I sing softly because the tempo slows I stop Because I know When I'm done 12)*Stolen, cheated, lied* Were I to recount for you The regrets from my life I would almost have to tell The story of my time But tonight, tonight I'm going to send them straight down The line Chorus: Yea I have stolen, I have cheated, I have lied, lied, lied I have run so far when I knew that I couldn't hide, hide, hide I have hurt the ones who I love more than life, life, life And I have broken things That cannot be Replaced or fixed over time Time, time, time If I could go back and right my wrongs Would I be here today singing these sad, sad songs If I was quiet all the times when I was Oh so loud Would I be here tonight, in front of this disinterested crowd. So now as I crawl back into the womb, My dearest of friends I hope we meet again soon But to those of you whom I'm destined To never meet again Let's raise our glass to now and forget about then |
