I sent a capo to ease your heart Skip to the end and go back to the start I gotta problem but I got hope My heart is open my eyes are closed Do too much thinking Not enough drinking My world is sinking but I’m pulling it up ‘cos I’m lost in you and you’re lost in me And we’re lost together I lost my capo I lost my mind Regret the days that I was so unkind I found a bright spark out of the black I’m jumping forward and there’s no turning back Do too much thinking Not enough drinking My world is sinking but I’m pulling it up ‘cos I’m lost in you and you’re lost in me And we’re lost together Ooh ooh... Du du du… ‘cos I’m lost in you and you’re lost in me And we’re lost together ‘cos I’m lost in you and you’re lost in me And we’re lost together

Hey there! What ya’ doing? What have you got to say? Hey there! When you’re through with The things they throw your way And I know that it’s tough When they’re treating you rough With no love Hey there! When you’re asking Who you speaking too? They’re lost in the fast lane What have they done for you? And I know that it’s tough When they’re treating you rough With no love ‘cos they’ll tread you down But stick around Life it lasts forever Hey there! Where you going? It’s not even time to leave I guess there’s no knowing What’s up their sleeve And I know that it’s tough When they’re treating you rough With no love ‘cos they’ll tread you down But stick around Life it lasts forever It’s starting to freeze You’re starting to feel Your mind is at ease This drama is real

This whole summer the stars will shine The rain will fall but we won’t mind Oh this whole summer I’m yours and you’re mine And through the winter as time goes on We’ll get cold as the winter song Oh this whole winter I’m yours and you’re mine Endlessly it seems to me That we are all that we can be Oh this whole summer We’ll hold on tight The sun has set I can’t forget The way the spring comes in tonight The sun may rise and bring to life The hope I have survives, survives This whole summer the stars will shine The rain will fall but we won’t mind Oh this whole summer I’m yours and you’re mine And through the winter as time goes on We’ll get cold as the winter song Oh this whole winter I’m yours and you’re mine Endlessly it seems to me That we are all that we can be Oh this whole summer We’ll hold on tight This whole summer the stars will shine Oh this whole summer the stars will shine This whole summer the stars will shine tonight

Take a look at your face You’re such a big disgrace And you aint worth fighting for You got a diet of mace You never leave a trace You’re such a crushing bore You are such a cunt There’s no other way of saying it But we’re going out tonight Alright! Take a look at this place Such a fall from grace All the cunts you’re fighting for Power’s gone to your head All the lies that we’re fed You’re rotten to the core You are such a cunt There’s no other way of saying it But we’re going out tonight Alright! You are such a cunt There’s no other way of saying it But we’re going out tonight Alright! Going out tonight Alright! Going out tonight Alright!

I can’t understand why we have a gun in our hand What was your plan? To disease the spirit of man And I can’t understand why we fight over religion and land Let’s go back to the start and hold our hand to our heart Nothing to see Nowhere to go Just what you left in their soul Everyone’s free ‘til their freedom’s been stole Now we’re stuck in this hole Humanity’s frail, let’s bring it back from the dead We must prevail There’s only so much hate the world can take Look at the eyes as they cry from morning to night A doctrine of lies not knowing wrong from right A palace of fear where the king rules with an iron fist Their world disappears think about all that they’ll miss Nothing to see Nowhere to go Just what you left in their soul Everyone’s free ‘til their freedom’s been stole Now we’re stuck in this hole Humanity’s frail, let’s bring it back from the dead We must prevail There’s only so much hate the world can take Goodbye my love Goodnight

The places we find ourselves today Aren’t where we’d expected to be Don’t throw your dreams away Throw them straight back at me ‘cos you are the only one You are the only one Sit back relax in the sun You are the only one The freedom that I got from you Can never be broken in two Don’t let the fire go out Tell me what it’s all about ‘cos you are the only one You are the only one Sit back relax in the sun You are the only one I’ll be set free Be with you, all of you I’ll dream not asleep Be with you, only you I’m gone, I’m gone again The rain falls down on our skin Mending the spirit within The sun’s gone in the blink of an eye Always expect the surprise The rain falls down on our skin Mending the spirit within The sun’s gone in the blink of an eye How will the story now end? Depends where the story began On me I hope you’ll depend The water washes the sand ‘cos you are the only one You are the only one Sit back relax in the sun You are the only one ‘cos you are the only one You are the only one Sit back relax in the sun You are the only one

There’s lots of people here today And I can’t hear the voices shouting in my head There’s a silence there you say Counteracts the noises when the book has not been read I can’t breathe Not got anything up my sleeve Don’t wanna leave Nothing left the grass is overgrown And all my thoughts have been undone So let me be let me be Let me be the ocean crashing Under the sun So let me be let me be Let me be the ocean crashing Under the sun Under the sun Under the sun There’s lots of reasons for me to stay I can hear the choices going through my mind My mood it changes day by day Fighting all my causes The peace I try to find I can’t breathe Not got anything up my sleeve Don’t wanna leave Nothing left the grass is overgrown And all my thoughts have been undone So let me be let me be Let me be the ocean crashing Under the sun So let me be let me be Let me be the ocean crashing Under the sun Under the sun Under the sun Peace of mind Out of line The sun won’t shine Now it’s night time So let me be let me be Let me be the ocean crashing Under the sun So let me be let me be Let me be the ocean crashing Under the sun Under the sun Under the sun Under the sun

I used to think a lot of you Have a laugh and jam away But when you left my brain to stew You left me with a lot say ‘cos you’re a motherfucker I aint got time for you Good riddance to bad blood I’ve had enough of you My metal hands are rusting in the bin So fuck you very much I’ll carry on and try to force a grin Keep my emotions in touch ‘cos you’re a motherfucker I aint got time for you Good riddance to bad blood I’ve had enough of you You left me standing Like a fool I wait Now where do I go And if I saw you I’d punch your face But now I’ll just go with the flow ‘cos you’re a motherfucker I aint got time for you Good riddance to bad blood I’ve had enough of you ‘cos you’re a motherfucker I aint got time for you Good riddance to bad blood I’ve had enough of you I’ve had enough of you I’ve had enough of you

Picture me on the outside Picture you looking in My tongue is forever tied You’ve got under my skin Picture all of the bleakness “I can never win” It’s not a sign of weakness To never want to fit in And I just can’t believe you think that you are free And I just can’t conceive the actions that you do And I just can’t believe you think that you are free And I just can’t conceive the actions that you do All these pent up emotions All the stupid things The path that you have chosen You know you cannot win And I just can’t believe you think that you are free And I just can’t conceive the actions that you do And I just can’t believe you think that you are free And I just can’t conceive the actions that you do Ooh ooh…

The sun will shine and the rain will fall You’re still mine and that is all is all is all Pressure mounts Every second counts The universe expands beneath us all Could be worse heading for the fall Pressure mounts Every second counts The sun will shine and the rain will fall You’re still mine and that is all is all is all

Sittin’ in the back and forth Doesn’t take a brain surgeon now To see that you’re low Sittin’ in the back and forth Doesn’t take a tree surgeon now To see the grass got you high And I know your feelings are on show But I wanna be the one to say Wanna be the one to stay Wanna be the one to stay On Valentine’s day I wanna be the one to say Wanna be the one to stay Wanna be the one to stay On Valentine’s day Lookin’ at the history Of why love’s a mystery now The stars and the sky Lookin’ at the history Give us a kiss todaynow I tell you for why And I know your feelings are on show But I wanna be the one to say Wanna be the one to stay Wanna be the one to stay On Valentine’s day I wanna be the one to say Wanna be the one to stay Wanna be the one to stay On Valentine’s day Ooh… But I wanna be the one to say Wanna be the one to stay Wanna be the one to stay On Valentine’s day I wanna be the one to say Wanna be the one to stay Wanna be the one to stay On Valentine’s But I wanna be the one to say Wanna be the one to stay Wanna be the one to stay On Valentine’s day I wanna be the one to say Wanna be the one to stay Wanna be the one to stay On Valentine’s day Valentine’s day…

I’m gonna have this illness for life Don’t know why I must try to get by Trite sayings won’t put away the hurt It gets worse like I’m cursed The fire starts to burn and so does the air Burning my skin like it don’t care And it’s gone, gone in the wind The fire starts to burn and so does the air Burning my skin like it don’t care And it’s gone, gone to the sea, to the sea Many pictures and ale filled tinctures Can’t hide, my pride has gone down the slide Worried faces and judging gazes Break me into bits, must admit that I’m low The fire starts to burn and so does the air Burning my skin like it don’t care And it’s gone, gone in the wind The fire starts to burn and so does the air Burning my skin like it don’t care And it’s gone, gone to the sea, to the sea Gone to the sea To the sea Broke my heart Broke it myself I can’t start again Ooh… The fire starts to burn and so does the air Burning my skin like it don’t care And it’s gone, gone in the wind The fire starts to burn and so does the air Burning my skin like it don’t care And it’s gone, gone to the sea, gone to the sea To the sea To the sea

From the daylight ‘til yawning comes We sleep together forever one and On ‘til time has passed like collider Exploding beneath both our hearts You are sunlight through the rain You are my verse you’re my refrain Every second I await your call Like birdsong the message comes And I awake from my slumber and smile again We can let a sleeping dog lie And care for one another The dog awakes with open eyes To see its father and its mother You are sunlight through the rain You are my verse you’re my refrain Every second I await your call Like birdsong the message comes And I awake from my slumber and smile again And as a family a future looks so welcome The sunlight fades and leaves may fall But our love will live on And as a family a future looks so welcome The sunlight fades and leaves may fall But our love will live on

Jimmy Brown from Campbeltown Wore a smile underneath his frown Never bothered him before This time he’s looking down Looks to the ground, he cannot eat Feels incomplete You are the sunlight when the daytime starts to fade You are the music when the band begins to play You are the feeling when I’ve got it made You are the feeling that I can’t quite reach today Jimmy Brown was a kind old man Drinks cups of tea by the gallon And I still miss him today We lost our mind but not our souls The laughter lifts us from this hole Blue sky covers grey You are the sunlight when the daytime starts to fade You are the music when the band begins to play You are the feeling when I’ve got it made You are the feeling that I can’t quite reach today And I won’t be lost inside myself I guess your laughter has just cast a spell Another roll-up and all are doing well You are the sunlight when the daytime starts to fade You are the music when the band begins to play You are the feeling when I’ve got it made You are the feeling that I can’t quite reach today You are the feeling that I can’t quite reach today You are the feeling that I can’t quite reach today You are the feeling that I can’t quite reach today You are the feeling that I can’t quite reach today Hey

All the waves in the water And the streams of desire They don’t really matter In the depths of the ocean there is fire You can solve all your problems For more to arrive You can burn all your bridges And then learn to dive My road is a stone unturned My light is a flame called love I’m left sour like milk unchurned But I’m as free as the whitest dove You’re as sweet as the songs they sang To those that hurt you let them be damned All I’m saying is merci beaucoup Find encrypted I love you, yes I do Another drop in the ocean Another ship sails. Bye! We’re all hung up with emotion Gliding when we want to fly You can swallow your pride Before it swallows you If you know when they lied The light will return true My road is a stone unturned My light is a flame called love I’m left sour like milk unchurned But I’m as free as the whitest dove You’re as sweet as the songs they sang To those that hurt you let them be damned All I’m saying is merci beaucoup Find encrypted I love you, yes I do Du du du… You’re as sweet as the songs they sang To those that hurt you let them be damned All I’m saying is merci beaucoup Find encrypted I love you Deep as oceans this is true Find embedded I love you Yes I do Yes I do

Sit around and watch your face I’m so glad we’re in this place And I’m not sorry for you now Black to grey and white to brown Sit around and pass the time Then we’ll do another line And I’m not sure about the past I guess these things they never last It don’t work out It’s not a matter of fact Fool around and waste my time Then I know I’m outta line I’m not sorry for it now Guess I’ll work it out somehow I don’t care now It’s not a matter of fact Do you rise in the morning with the L.A. sun like you’re number one? Is your brain always yawning ‘cos you’ve had some fun Yes you’ve had some fun You should think about me You should think about me When you’re on your own For the best and for the worst Snowy weather, are we cursed? And the fire will heat us up In the end we’ll get the luck And it will work out Is that a matter of fact? Do you rise in the morning with the L.A. sun like you’re number one? Is your brain always yawning ‘cos you’ve had some fun Yes you’ve had some fun You should think about me You should think about me When you’re on your own You’re on your own You’re on your own You’re not alone And I see it in your eyes And the dark will shade the light ‘cos we’ll be evermore Like before we are one Yeah Do you rise in the morning with the L.A. sun like you’re number one? Is your brain always yawning ‘cos you’ve had some fun Yes you’ve had some fun You should think about me You should think about me When you’re on your own Do you rise in the morning with the L.A. sun like you’re number one? Is your brain always yawning ‘cos you’ve had some fun Yes you’ve had some fun You should think about me You should think about me When you’re on your own On your own The world has grown You’ve heard the song

A country boy with a broken face Walked right out this dear place And everybody thought that he had died A bottle of Whisky in one hand Singin’ I am the fuckin’ man And everybody thought it was a lie He sings the songs that tell the truth And everytime that he cuts loose He lets it slip that the songs are all for her Now all he’s got is the booze And all the time he seems to lose He’s a lonely spaced out country boy A diet of Jack and too many late nights Thinkin’ that he was doin’ alright Everybody warned him of his ways With Sam Colt by his side Tryin’ to keep hold of his pride He knew he was headin’ for an early grave He sings the songs that tell the truth And everytime that he cuts loose He lets it slip that the songs are all for her Now all he’s got is the booze And all the time he seems to lose He’s a lonely spaced out country boy He sings the songs that tell the truth And everytime that he cuts loose He lets it slip that the songs are all for her Now all he’s got is the booze And all the time he seems to lose He’s a lonely spaced out country boy He’s a lonely spaced out country boy He’s a lonely spaced out country boy He’s a lonely spaced out country boy mmm…yeah!

It was a Wednesday when you first broke our hearts Jumped round like crazy, lost our legs and our arms Like a Sunday Sunday bouncing about All I wanna do is shout shout shout When you first took the stage All my teenage rage Went la la la… It was a Friday when she fell from the sky Spoke to me once now I just wanna die Like an early morning call Get back up after the fall When I first took the stage All my teenage rage Went la la la… September 13th I first had the dream All I could do was scream All I could do was scream There must be more to life than this now There must be more to life than this now There must be more to life than this now There must be more to life than this Taking drugs for the first time A drink in both your hands Huggin’ and a kissin’ and feeling out of line A riot in your brain and a poster on your wall Getting bigger and bigger and feeling twice as small Taking drugs for the first time A drink in both your hands Huggin’ and a kissin’ and feeling out of line A riot in your brain and a poster on your wall Getting bigger and bigger and feeling twice as small Taking drugs for the first time A drink in both your hands Huggin’ and a kissin’ and feeling out of line A riot in your brain and a poster on your wall Getting bigger and bigger and feeling twice as small

Did you get the message transmitted through the waves? Did you hear the breathless sigh as I called your name? Feel the glow Take it slow All the time in the world Did you see the neon lights of love? Up there in the forlorn sky above Hold my hand To foreign lands All the hope in the world 3 days early the gift that you gave The one that saved my life 3 days early our thoughts are the same Time to kiss goodnight 3 days early the gift that you gave The one that saved my life 3 days early our thoughts are the same Time to kiss goodnight Finally Close to me Destiny It was meant to be

How does it feel when the world stops turnin’? How does it feel when the fire stops burnin’? How does it feel when it all falls down? The mirrors cracked and the cat runs by ya’ You’re so confused you feel like cryin’ How does it feel to stick around Some say it’s ignorance But I know I’ve got a chance with you ‘cos I feel for you and I always will ‘til the end When I’m without you the lovin’ that I send gets through What do you do when the world starts takin’? What do you do when your heart is breakin’? What do you do when it all falls down? What can you do when no-one listens? When even the brightest gold don’t glisten What do you do? Just sing it loud Some say it’s ignorance But I know I’ve got a chance with you ‘cos I feel for you and I always will ‘til the end When I’m without you the lovin’ that I send gets through And I’ll keep on getting’ through All I want is me and you And I know I act the fool But I’m still in love with you ‘cos I feel for you and I always will ‘til the end When I’m without you the lovin’ that I send gets through ‘cos I feel for you and I always will ‘til the end When I’m without you the lovin’ that I send gets through

I can’t see your smile And it breaks my heart Breaks my heart And I’ve been wondering why We fall apart Fall apart Don’t you ever just wish that you could fly? Don’t you ever just cry? I can keep warm When nights are cold Nights are cold We will weather the storm Life unfolds Love it grows Don’t you ever just wish that you could fly? Don’t you ever just cry? Don’t you ever just wish that you could fly? Don’t you ever just cry? Don’t you ever just cry?

The stars shine on Can’t believe you’re gone And I look up to space Just to see your face And you touched our hearts And you’re inside our souls With rock ‘n’ roll And it comes to us all But we thought you were immortal And we’ll see you on the other side Listen to you in the light of day Listen to you as the light slips away Listen to you oh won’t you stay And the stars shine on Millions of people sing one song And I look up to space Just to see your face And you touched our hearts And you’re inside our souls With rock ‘n’ roll And it comes to us all But we thought you were immortal And we’ll see you on the other side Listen to you in the light of day Listen to you as the light slips away Listen to you oh won’t you stay Listen to you oh won’t you stay Listen to you oh won’t you stay Listen to you oh won’t you stay

Take me out to a foreign land And I’ll feel so near I’ll try to make you understand, my dear But the girl has gone And you can’t go on What’s the point in being strong? Don’t hide from the things that you fear, my dear All your problems can disappear today But the girl has gone And you can’t go on What’s the point in being strong? And the world has stopped And the world has stopped Tick the box now I wanna get off And the world has stopped But the girl has gone And you can’t go on This time you got it wrong And the world has stopped And the world has stopped Tick the box now I wanna get off And the world has stopped And the world has stopped And the world has stopped Tick the box now I wanna get off And the world has stopped And the world has stopped And the world has stopped And the world has stopped

I hear him snoring in his sleep All those dreams he hopes to keep So silly, so silly Every little smile He gives to us a nonstop joy He is our cheeky little boy So friendly, so friendly Everything he does He is the apple of our eye Our little lickin’ kickin’ funny little guy He is the reason why we smile He is the apple of our eye Fortune comes and fortune goes We’ll always have the love to show So funny, so funny When he jumps around He is the apple of our eye Our little lickin’ kickin’ funny little guy He is the reason why we smile He is the apple of our eye And I can see a brighter day Just push the clouds right out our way He is the apple of our eye Our little lickin’ kickin’ funny little guy He is the reason why we smile He is the apple of our eye Here he comes Comes Maxwell…
