LYRICS There’s a small back room where I sometimes go It has no existence in space or time It’s where I hide when I’m feeling low The only place where you are mine Just this one time away from our worlds, that was always the deal Two days from life by a windswept sea was all we could ever steal In that small back room I can hold you once more The single place I want to be I can leave my pain outside the door In here you belong to me We kept saying how lucky we’d met, some people never know bliss But even then I knew my heart would die, I’d never get over this There’s a small back room where I sometimes go It has no existence in space or time It’s where I hide when I’m feeling low The only place where you are mine

Hey, Mr. Sun 05:19
LYRICS Hey, Mr. Sun Stop smiling down on me ‘Cause I want to make the most Of the tragedy of him leaving me I need to stand in the mist and rain And savor all my pain Of dejection, of rejection Of deception of missing him And your sunshine is getting in my way Hey, Mr. Sun Please get lost ‘Cause only gales and gloomy clouds can really match my mood And seaside towns in winter where I can just sit and brood on heartbreak On heartache On what a snake he was after all And your sunshine, your sunshine’s getting in my way You might think this new love is the one for you Soon you realize it’s more a case of 'he'll do' Turns out you’re not exactly charming the guy In spite of all your concessions and mid-brown hair dye Hey, Mr. Sun Wish you’d take a hike While I wait for my homicidal hostility to pass And watch my heart sink to the bottom of my glass So just stop smiling at me Cause your sunshine’s getting in my way Take a hike, please get lost Hey, Mr. Sun You’re really getting in my way

LYRICS You’re back - tell me all about where you’ve been Paint me some pictures in words of every exotic scene Tell me some stories - it gets kinda samey here on the Creek And I need the buzz of hearing you speak We could rock on the back porch, watch the sun slip down Those dark green waters where our aspirations drowned When this old Creek’s wrapped in dusk’s embrace It’s really almost pretty and then you can’t look in my face Oh it’s so good to see you, say you’ll stay Let’s lie cool and quiet - think up games to play In the dawn you’ll leave me, disappear without a trace But for now draw me close and I promise I won’t look in your face

LYRICS Our love’s been a long time coming, building deep inside Gonna be the love too strong to hide. Everybody’s gonna know, they’ll look at us and smile, good love’s even better when it take a while. I can take the old folks laughing, their knowing little smiles I can take the talk about us, it’ll go away after a while And I’ll be loving you, the only love I ever needed when all is said and through. I think about you all the time You know I do. How lucky I am To be with you And I hope you feel the same way twenty years from now Glad we’ve found each other somehow. A love like ours only come along one time if at all The waiting on that one time really worth the fall. I don’t care about your past, don’t care who you’ve done Just want us to be together, two lives lived as one and I’ll be loving you. The only love I ever needed when all is said and through I think about you all the time, you know I do How lucky I am How lucky I am How lucky I am To be with you

LYRICS Here they come round again Those tormenting thoughts of now and then I’ve always tended to be this way I inhabit the present But I was made yesterday Here they come round again Those painful thoughts of now and then They’re not my friends More like family members Causing regret whenever I rake over the embers People always tell me I’m an angry person inside I keep an eternal flame burning Wherever dark memory resides I should bury the hatchet Unsettle the score But when I recall an injustice I’m flexing my claws Here they come round again Those bitter thoughts of now and then I’ve always been this way I cling to the present But I was made yesterday It has been my experience When stepping into the light The next step might take you To an endless night Here they come round and round and round again Those bitter thoughts of now and then I cling to the present But I was made long ago

You 04:22
LYRICS You came and sat under my apple tree, a friend of a friend Bringing neither wine nor roses, only something that you’d penned I’d never been given anything so original before I found out later it was by Sir Thomas Moore You feasted in my garden, I never invited you But you were charming and witty and a damned good screw You stayed a long while, I couldn’t get rid of you Singing day and night, you sewed sequins on my shoes Painted my walls orange, made jelly from my apple tree But you couldn’t keep a job and were no good for me I ended that dream of summer, told you to leave one day But oh your smile turned lead to gold and you were a bloody good lay
7.
LYRICS Blackbird, sing into the fading light Here in the dusk, dividing day and night Each note so pure and clear As one by one the silent stars appear Blackbird, don’t fly away too soon But raise your voice to the falling sun And the rising moon Shadows stretch and the light grows old Blackbird’s throat is lined with gold Love and hope hold sway While we’re under the gaze of the Milky Way Oh Blackbird, don’t leave me too soon But sing your song to the shy little stars And the smiling moon But sing that song to the shy little stars And the smiling moon

Still Water 06:15
LYRICS Clear as light on still water I let him see how I feel But his heart gives no quarter He has walls made of steel I laid down my cards He’s seen how I play He wants me for a while But I’ll want him to stay He’s anger and fire I’m soft as a dove His passion will burn me Yet I’ll keep looking for love
9.
Garnet Wine 04:24
LYRICS I see the moon reflected In my glass of garnet wine Seems its face is full of sorrow As sorrowful as mine It’s time for me to break all ties Make sail for that line Where the sea kisses the sky Now my glass has broken Like my fractured heart and mind I’ve a ticket marked for nowhere And I’ll take it as a sign To break away, make no last try My fate lies on that line Where the sea kisses the sky My ticket’s marked for nowhere I’ll take it as a sign To sail away, sail for that silver line Where the sea kisses the sky

Bad Penny 04:02
LYRICS If I could believe you’d love me I would wait my turn But you don’t even see me And that’s a lesson I’ve had to learn So put your money on the table And get on for the ride Don’t want to hear about your troubles I can’t be on your side Where is my soul, if I have one? Don’t think it’s ever seen the sun I’ve had to wipe my heart clean of all its dreams And forget the girl I might have been So put your money on the table And get on for the ride Don’t want to hear about the girl you love I still have some pride If I could believe you’d love me I might change my mind But you don’t even see me And it’s not love that makes you blind You don’t even see me And it’s not love that makes you … Blind

Never 03:46
LYRICS (by Narva9) Never danced in the rain Never howled at the moon Never downed a shot of whiskey Never slept until noon Never smoked a pipe Be it weed or for peace Never gave much of a thought to the world Beyond my feet Chorus So why am I here What is it all about Why does the world go ‘round And is the sky still blue above Now answer me this Has it all been a lie ‘Cause how is it I still live When I’ve never been alive Life was always just a fact No place for silly dreams Those were just for other fools At least that’s what it seemed So I never thought to try Never thought I had a choice So I never gave my heart away Never ever gave it voice Chorus So why am I here What is it all about Why does the world go ‘round And is the sky still blue above Now answer me this Has it all been a lie ‘Cause how is it I still live When I’ve never been alive Never sat in the sun Never named the stars above Never stopped to smell the roses I never made the time Now my end has come And all I’m left is regret For I never told you how much I love you So many things I never said Chorus So why am I here What is it all about Why does the world go ‘round And is the sky still blue above Now answer me this Has it all been a lie ‘Cause how is it I still live When I’ve never been alive

MARKED 04:02
LYRICS She never knows if she’s coming or going If in daylight the bruises will be showing She needs to get the lay of the land Or risk the feel of the back of his hand Broken jaw and broken nose Surrender and fear are the way it goes Chorus Is the man lying low, is the beast on the rise? Will she see the beast looking out, behind his eyes? Verse She tiptoes around him, keeps her mouth shut He’ll use any excuse to call her a slut Every minute, every hour, she expects the next blow No one’s ever wanted her, there’s no place to go That’s why he chose her, she must be to blame Because right from the start, her daddy was the same Chorus Is the man lying low, is the beast on the rise? Will she see the beast looking out, behind his eyes? Bridge She’s a mealy-mouthed victim A trembling rabbit in a cage There’s no rhyme or reason To what goads him to a rage She has a little mirror It’s in a secret place She used to be so pretty Now she can’t recognise her face (The beast is looking out from behind his eyes) Chorus Is the man lying low, is the beast on the rise? Will the beast be looking out at her Looking out Looking out Looking out at her From behind his eyes?

Canary Wharf 05:08
LYRICS I see you every morning, a soulful face in the crowd I’d like to get to know you better, if only time allowed I feel deprived if I don’t see you there But we are strangers, so why the hell should I care? We’ll never know Unless we take the next step And say hello I’ve checked out your hand and there’s no wedding band But our sphere of interest might be for the same brand I’m dusting off my sex life ‘cos it’s not over and done And I’m wondering if you’d give this thing a trial run? We’ll never know Unless we take the next step And say hello Are you introvert and bookish, moody but sweet? I’ve got a weird sense of humour, but my intellect’s awfully neat I’m into champagne and coffee doughnut rings Tell me what you like to eat, but it’s over if it’s ‘wings’! We’ll never know Unless we take the next step And say hello Want the ‘same old’ or the unknown? ‘Cos it’s up to you to choose But if you don’t believe in love, you’ve got nothing to lose! We’ll never know Unless we take the next step And say hello
