These Times 03:49
lyrics
buy track
These Times Nobody knew where the rumour started But the word was out and the truth departed I was inclined to dismiss it as signs Of an over active mind I just couldn’t see the connection to me But I know now I was blind Oh Lord, will you help me and throw a line? Oh, non believer calling the divine Oh, I'm a miserable sinner But I think I’ve seen the signs Oh, Bodhisattva, won't you save me from these times? If you lie enough do you start to believe it? If you cry enough do you start to redeem it? We live on the edge of a moment in time When we all might fade away Nobody knows when enough is too much Till the scientists all say Oh Lord, will you help me and throw a line? Oh, non believer calling the divine Oh, I'm a miserable sinner But I think I’ve seen the signs Oh, Bodhisattva, won't you save me from these times?

Irresistible 03:41
lyrics

Irresistible I bet that if I was a cowboy, I would ride the range in search of you Long days in the saddle, with the hot sun bleaching everything I do Somewhere near a water hole, in the shade of a cactus tree or two A faint reflection in the water, makes me think that I see you Tall in the saddle Maybe I’m just dehydrated, lost inside of dreams of you ’Cos in my dreams you’d notice me and find me just like I find you Irresistible I bet that if I was a baker, I would bake some bread for you Long days in the kitchen, with the oven baking everything I do Then somewhere near the hottest flame, flickering and dancing like they do A shape I see of red and gold, it’s moving like the way that you do (A golden french baguette) Maybe I’m just dehydrated, lost inside of dreams of you ’Cos in my dreams you’d notice me and find me just like I find you Irresistible

Beyond Main Street 02:57
lyrics

Beyond Main Street Once you've moved away that's where you have to stay Beyond main street Once you've made the break you can't relocate Onto main street I spread my wings but the wind was still I didn't really fly but I sure felt the chill Beyond main street Beyond main street A fresh-faced youth, I crashed into the truth Beyond main street A young know-nuthin' I was out of my depth Beyond main street A fool will rush in where angels fear to tread With a pocket full of dreams I was over my head Beyond main street Beyond main street The hunger to prove is a young man's groove You got to get back up every time you lose Beyond main street Beyond main street The school of hard knocks packs a hell of a shock Beyond main street You look but you've found there's only stony ground Beyond main street If you don't end up lucky at least some of the way It's an uphill struggle every day A fool will rush in where angels fear to tread With a pocket full of dreams I was over my head Beyond main street Beyond main street The plan supposed to make you a self-made man But the plan went South, made out of sand Nothing plus nothing don't add up to a lot And nothing plus nothing, that's what you got Beyond main street

Wave If You're Feeling Good 03:38
lyrics
buy track
Wave If You're Feeling Good I can you feel it coming, can you feel it too? I can feel a change in the air, a change for me and you I think it's for the better, I think it's for the good I think it's gonna blow through the streets and avenues of every neighbourhood Over the water, I hear them singing and boy does it sound good Language ain't no barrier to being understood I can see it coming, tell me that you see it too I can see an end to the heartache, an end to all the blues It won't be so hard – it's gonna be so easy It's gonna change the way we feel about each other it's gonna change the daily news I can see it in your eyes, I can see it in your smile I can feel it in my bones and I can feel it all the while Getting closer by the day, feeling freer all the way Like a warmer kind of glow and I don't what to say, but Hold your hands up and wave if you're feeling good Hold your hands up high and wave to the neighbourhood Waving to the world, wave to every living soul Waving to the world, we're all a part of one that makes us whole

One-Time Deal 03:07
lyrics
buy track
One-Time Deal Is it the moon dictates the choices we make Or the tide that leaves us up high Is it the wind that changes the way that we face Or the sun that shrivels us dry Is it the mist that clouds the judgements we make Or the rain that washes us clean Is it the dark that hides the emotions we feel Or the light that shows us we're mean It's only a one-time deal, devoid of guarantees It's only a one-time stake, and that's for real Is it the hour that make-eth the man Or the clothes that make him stand tall Is it the money that we manage to make Or the height that we stand when we fall Maybe the love we continue to seek Defines the shape of our soul Maybe the risk we face when required to speak Contributes to making us whole It's only a one-time deal, devoid of guarantees It's only a one-time stake, and that's for real

Open Your Heart 03:22
lyrics
buy track
OPEN YOUR HEART Open your heart like a summer flower And let the colours shine You stand apart with such a gentle power How i wish that you were mine Like the sun, in the sky You are golden up on high Like the moon on the sea You are silver you are free It’s been a dark kind of endless winter Now it’s time to shine a light It's been so cold but the ice will splinter If we focus on what's right Like the sun, in the sky You are golden up on high Like the moon on the sea You are silver you are free instrumental Twentyfour hour rolling news Can dim the brightest day See all the hope for a brighter future Dwindle far away Like the sun, in the sky You are golden up on high Like the moon on the sea You are silver you are free Open your heart like a summer flower And let the colours shine You stand apart with such a gentle power How i wish that you were mine Like the sun, in the sky You are golden up on high Like the moon on the sea You are silver you are free instrumental sun, sky, golden, high, moon, sea, silver, free

I Must Be Dreaming 02:57
lyrics

I Must Be Dreaming Sometimes it feels so good to see the sun go down Sometimes if feels so cool just walking through this town And when I think of you just what I like to do Even my wildest dreams I know they will come true Now I'm dreaming – I can see your face I must be dreaming – I just love this place I know I'm dreaming – like I can float on air I must be dreaming – goodbye to all those cares Catch the bus to work just like every day And hope that you get on that's all I have to say Adventure everyday I know the sparks will fly No matter what may fail I always feel this high Now I'm dreaming – I can see your face I must be dreaming – I just love this place I know I'm dreaming – like I can float on air I must be dreaming – goodbye to all those cares Now we go back to work just like good workers do Now we go back to work 'cos we got things to do

Somebody Like You 03:31
lyrics
buy track
Somebody Like You I got a thing about leaving, got a thing about being on my own Got a thing about leaving, makes me want to hang my head and moan I know you’ve got to go, you tell me that it’s so You’ve got to follow where it leads you, well we all do And sometimes that’s down a different road But if the wind blows fair, if the waves that carry us break softly On a distant shore, as the sun goes down and we’ll both be there You can tell me how you’re feeling You can tell me where you’ve been Fill me with the wonder of the things you’ve seen The life you’ve lived down a different road And while the world’s been spinning on its axis And governments still feed on taxes And broken hearts don’t always mend It’s pretty rare to meet a real good friend And while the world’s been spinning on its axis And governments still need our taxes And broken hearts don’t always mend It’s pretty rare to meet a real good friend A real good friend, somebody like you, a real good friend

I Can’t Give It Up Give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up, I can’t give it up How many miles till I get home? Too many miles to count, no matter where you roam How may times till i get to win? Too many times to count and that’s a mortal sin We’re coming home, we’re really coming home We’re coming home, we’re really coming home We’re coming home, we’re really coming home We’re coming home, we’re really coming home How many times have I tried to say Too many times to count, don’t matter anyway The only thing that matters to me today Is getting back home where I’m gonna stay We’re coming home, we’re really coming home We’re coming home, we’re really coming home We’re coming home, we’re really coming home We’re coming home, we’re really coming home Give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up, I can’t give it up

When The Wind Blows High 03:37
lyrics

When the wind blows high when the wind blows high and the grey clouds chase across the sky in a crazy race and I go tumbling down the helter skelter in a fall from grace when the wind blows high and the feelings break across the sky with a violent shake and I go tumbling down the ghost train of my mistakes in true isolation, I hope for salvation to feed me the lie that I matter In a world full of tears, supressing all my fears When all that I build just gets scattered when the wind blows high and it cuts up tough when the storm is blowing and the sea is rough and I go crying for my mother to save me in true isolation, I hope for salvation to feed me the lie that I matter in a world full of tears, supressing all my fears when all that I build just gets scattered it don’t matter cos nothing matters it don’t matter cos everything matters it don’t matter cos nothing matters it don’t matter cos everything matters Instrumental in true isolation, I hope for salvation to feed me the lie that I matter in a world full of tears, supressing all my fears when all that I build just gets scattered it don’t matter cos nothing matters it don’t matter cos everything matters it don’t matter cos nothing matters it don’t matter cos everything matters

THE DRUG IS DESIRE You can’t stop the wind from blowing, through the trees You can’t stop the sun from shining, on your enemies You can’t stop the ice from melting, as the temperatures rise You can’t stop the truth from rising, from a pack of lies I can’t stop the way I feel about you Any more than I can live my days without you The drug is desire, and I’m on fire You can’t stop the rain from falling, it runs back to the sea You can’t stop the wolf from howling, it speaks to me You can’t stop the stars from shining, in a velvet sky You can’t stop the moon from rising, when the tide is high I can’t stop the way I feel about you Any more than I can live my days without you The drug is desire, and I’m on fire Instrumental You can’t stop the wind from blowing, through the trees You can’t stop the sun from shining, on your enemies You can’t stop the ice from melting, as the temperatures rise You can’t stop the truth from rising, from a pack of lies I can’t stop the way I feel about you Any more than I can live my days without you The drug is desire, and I’m on fire The drug is desire, and I’m on fire

Roll The Dice 03:53
lyrics
buy track
Roll The Dice I know it stands to reason I probably won't win But I can't help believing Take a chance on a spin The world is on its axis And that's the way it stays Dinosaurs once ruled the earth Not one of them was saved Times change, some things carry on Some things will stop And forever be gone You have to take a chance on a spin Can a loser ever win Somewhere it is written High up in the sky The future is a script we follow Till the day we die But I am not as certain That it's all set in stone Every step that we go forward Takes into the unknown And who knows which way it will go It's burning me up can't you see that it's so You have to take a chance on a spin Can a loser ever win To live in isolation A hermit on a beach Disconnected from society Impossible to reach We have to work together Together that's the key Forces we can generate Are deeper than the sea And who knows which way it will go It's burning me up can't you see that it's so Times change, some things carry on Some things will stop And forever be gone You have to take a chance on a spin Can a loser ever win So roll the dice And see what we get We might just strike it lucky But we have to take a bet
