Cheer up resting bastard face
You’re gonna bring the whole place down
Don’t you put me in my place
It’s just the way I am
Cheer up don’t you know it’s fine
But bad things happen all the time
So don’t you tell me how to feel
Who made you judge and jury anyway?
I can’t comprehend
Someone else’s pain
They might think it’s right
They might think it’s wrong
They can’t think at all
Some people need the night
Some people need a song
Some people feel so small
I need you
I need you
Do you need me too?
Cheer up now you’re at the show
There’s nowhere else for you to go
If you look inside of me
It’s not the same at all
I can’t comprehend
Someone else’s pain
They might think it’s right
They might think it’s wrong
They can’t think at all
Some people need the night
Some people need a song
Some people feel so small
I need you
I need you
Do you need me too?
They might think it’s right
They might think it’s wrong
They can’t think at all
Some people need the night
Some people need a song
Some people feel so small
I need you
I need you
Do you need me too?
The future is the past when it’s gone…

He’s a pisshead
He’s a poet
He’s a genius
He just don’t know it
Man of the people
The greatest hero
He’s not meaningless
He can feel

Sunrise

Take me places
Twist the faces
And you’ll never understand
A higher plan
Early morning
Pain is dawning
I know these images aren’t real
I’m forgetting how to…
Feel……..
And I know the truth it looms
I’ll blow my brain to kingdom come
I’ll miss you, miss you in the morning I’ll kiss you when the truth is dawning
I’ll listen to the song I’ve listened to five thousand times or more
I’ll make you higher than the sunrise I’ll take you wherever the crow flies
I’ll look into the soul I’ve looked into a thousand times before
Oh oh oh oh oh
I’ll miss you, miss you in the morning I’ll kiss you when the truth is dawning
I’ll listen to the song I’ve listened to five thousand times or more
I’ll make you higher than the sunrise I’ll take you wherever the crow flies
I’ll look into the soul I’ve looked into a thousand times before

Miles away (revisited)

Sometimes when I get bored
I like to strum these three chords
Sometimes when I’m alone
I think about you in my home
I get sad I get happy I get high
You’re miles away
You’re miles away
You’re miles away
And I wish you were here
You’re miles away
You’re miles away
You’re miles away
And I want you with me
Sometimes when clichés overwhelm me
It must mean that I’m happy
Often when we write
I think about you late at night
I get dark I get moody and lo
You’re miles away
You’re miles away
You’re miles away
And I wish you were here
You’re miles away
You’re miles away
You’re miles away
And I want you with me
You’re miles away
You’re miles away
You’re miles away
And I wish you were here
You’re miles away
You’re miles away
You’re miles away
And I want you with me
You’re miles away
You’re miles away
You’re miles away
And I wish you were here
You’re miles away
You’re miles away
You’re miles away
And I want you with me

Travelling on my way to Ardentinny
That’s where I’m gonna go
Travelling on my way to Ardentinny
To the sweetest place I know
And when I find her I must remind her
That she’ll always be
The misty hillside the bluebells and the sea
Travelling on my way to Ardentinny
That’s where I’m gonna go
Travelling on my way to Ardentinny
To the sweetest place I know
The darkened daylight
It’s freezing outside
In the afternoon
Out in the forest
Our path is guided by the moon
Travelling on my way to Ardentinny
By the fields on windy roads
Travelling on my to Ardentinny
And I still call it home
The wind and rain
Brings beauty’s name to me again
Travelling on my way to Ardentinny
That’s where I’m gonna go
Travelling on my way to Ardentinny
To the sweetest place I know

Prop me up and drag me down
Don’t know why I stick around
Let me go and let me in
My thoughts are getting too profound
Not afraid anymore
I’m facing all my demons and throwing them ashore
I’m set, sitting in the new
And you can’t bring me down
I’m tired of not knowing what to do
I’m treading on new ground
I go to places new
But I only think of you
I’m afraid like before
I’ve gotta break on through this locked up door
I’m set, sitting in the new
And you can’t bring me down
I’m tired of not knowing what to do
I’m treading on new ground
I’m set, sitting in the new
And you can’t bring me down
I’m tired of not knowing what to do
I’m treading on new ground
I’m set, sitting in the new
And you can’t bring me down
I’m tired of not knowing what to do
I’m treading on new ground

Coming home (revisited)
02:47

Why does my brain fail?
My thoughts float away
Sometimes I prevail
Sometimes my colour goes grey
Why am I here?
What am I doing?
Coming home
Coming home
Walking in the streets lost in motion
You’ll turn away and walk on by
To you it’s just a moment
To them it’s a life time
Thoughts spinning
Feelings fragile
Not coming home
Not coming home
Your bones have gone to ruin
Not coming home
Not coming home

She went for a promotion
But her lack of cock caused a commotion
And then they offered a solution
We’ll go back to 19, back to 1973
We’ll be men and you’ll just have your dignity
And then the eighties came to pass
An unwelcome grasp upon her arse
And then the 90s had to ask
Are we back in 19, back in 1973?
Are we men and have we got no empathy
You make her feel, you make her feel like there will never be a chance
But now she’s taking on the world
There must be something else instead
It’s time to put the past to bed
And push the fear right out your head
And forget about and forget about 1973
And forget about and forget about 1973
And forget about and forget about 1973
And forget about and forget about 1973
Ah Ah Ah
There must be something else instead

I go down to Accrington, drink a bottle of booze
I go down to Accrington I cannot lose
I go see a friend in need
Go beneath and find some peace
Speaking volumes and singing too
I cannot lose
There’s space in your space race so won’t you come on home
I guess there’s fire in my belly, I guess there’s heart in my soul
Sit around glued to the telly, lost in rock n roll
Go to town and meet some idols who’ve heard it all before
Until they met a band of angels who lightened up the floor
There’s space in your space race so bring it on home
I guess there’s fire in my belly, I guess there’s heart in my soul
Sitting down glued to the telly, lost in rock n roll
Solo
I guess there’s fire in my belly, I guess there’s heart in my soul
Sitting down glued to the telly, lost in rock n roll
I guess there’s fire in my belly, I guess there’s heart in my soul
Sitting down glued to the telly, lost in rock n roll

Sometimes you get these people in your life
They’ll sing your praises while they prepare the knife
Sometimes you hear what you wanna hear
Then they’ll take their chance
You don’t deserve us
You don’t deserve us
You don’t deserve us
In your life
Sometimes you gotta cut people loose
They’ll beg and barter while they sing the blues
And you feel free once again
Gotta know who’s your real friends
You don’t deserve us
You don’t deserve us
You don’t deserve us
In your life
You don’t deserve us
You don’t deserve us
You don’t deserve us
In your life
You don’t deserve us
You don’t deserve us
You don’t deserve us
In your life

The visceral defection
Of the general election
Rejoice! Rejoice! The child’s got no bed
Rejoice! Rejoice! Disabled dead
And poverty’s such fun
Now the future’s done
The fact is that they’re here to stay
No ounce of truth in what they say
Rejoice! Rejoice! Hope is dead today
You know that it really makes me cry
But we’ve got a spare room inside
It’s hard to figure out the reasons why
Sometimes it’s hard to even try
So listen up don’t bow your head
I’m telling you that hope aint dead
And if they vote for hate instead
Stand on your feet get out of bed
So listen up don’t bow your head
I’m telling you that hope aint dead
And if they vote for hate instead
Stand on your feet get out your bed
Stand on your feet get out your bed
So listen up don’t bow your head
I’m telling you that hope aint dead
And if they vote for hate instead
Stand on your feet get out your bed
So listen up don’t bow your head
I’m telling you that hope aint dead
And if they vote for hate instead
Stand on your feet get out of bed
Stand on your feet get out your bed
Stand on your feet get out your bed

Summer (revisited)

I’m full of pleasure and promise
I’ve never felt better than this
You turn my water into wine
But everything it is not fine
In the distance I will go
The real me is not on show
My thoughts are racing now too much
Am I invincible or done?
Bad ideas that seem so great
My dreams are coming far too late
You are the only one
You are the only one
That can make my winter feel like summer
You are the only one
You are the only one
That can make my winter feel like summer
The meanings they are meaningless
Too many issues to address
Euphoria it slips away
My night is turning into day
You are the only one
You are the only one
That can make my winter feel like summer
You are the only one
You are the only one
That can make my winter feel like summer
Aah…
You are the only one
You are the only one
That can make my winter feel like summer
You are the only one
You are the only one
That can make my winter feel like summer
Feel like summer…
