Clearly
Clear
Clear are the sounds
Come to me
I hear the sound
Come clear
Come clearly
Clear water in your heart
I hear sounds

There's No Going Back
04:52

There's no going back
Me of all people should know better than that
1995 was a long time ago we were so alive
'There's no going back'
Said the mind unto the body 'let's attack'
There's no going back
Cos it's heart and soul and spirit that we lack
There's no coming back
Dying embers in remembrance of that
2005
Byzantium what a time to be alive
There's no coming back
You of all people should know better than that
Have a look inside to a truth and love a billion miles wide
Are you real? Cos I don't know
It's like we're in a TV show
Maybe you were just a dream and I have woken
Is it coming back?
Is it leading me back down a beaten track?

So Bright

I feel like Jesus tonight
Full on believers in sight
My heart is burning so white
The truth returning so bright
Everybody
Feel like you need love tonight
Feel I can send you a light
You may be broken inside
But now there's nowhere to hide
Everybody
I am everybody
We sit around let our lives go
Really try to imagine
After a couple of hours I can't so out the door I go
Everybody
I am everybody
Come on everybody

Hold Back The World
05:40
|

Didn't know what I had
Didn't know where it was going
But it doesn't make me sad
Was just the way the wind was blowing
So I close my heart
And I close the door once more
And wage another war
All the dreams came too soon
And they all came without knowing
But I couldn't let them bloom
I couldn't give them time for growing
Didn't let them in
Didn't let them begin to win
Couldn't let them win
And so I'm here and I'm waiting for the end
All alive
Flick away another friend
Just hold me back from holding back the world
Hold back the world
So I let it die but I leave a little trail to days gone by
And send the good ship out to sail
And I'll raise a glass when there's nothing left of myself
And drink to your health
Speak like a lion and I sing like a bird
Fade like a summer and then don't say another word
And so I'm here and I'm waiting for the end
All alive
Flick away another friend
Gathering up nothing and giving it all away
Head full of thunder but it's wonder I say
It holds me back from coming back to the world
Hold back the world

You're An Animal
03:00
|

|
Living like a lion (you're an animal)
Pretending to smile
Licking all the time
Pour another wine
You're an animal
Chewing on a bone
Dicky on your phone
Never been alone
Wait 'til I get you home

Skeletons
06:04
|

|
Skeletons on the path
Skeletons on the freeway
I know
Skeletons in the rain
Skeletons in the window
I know that I'll meet you there
Inside is where
And I'll find you there
Inside your hair
And I know
Do you know you're right?
Lying down inside you
Shooting right inside you
When you awake you realise the time has come to fantasise again
Fall once again into the spell
Wake up with nothing left

Another Day
04:13
|

Pray to God
There's not a thing for me to lose
Nothing left for me to choose
Say to God
'I'll see you in a week or two'
There's nothing left for me to do
O no here I go again
So here we are love
It's just another day now
Within without love
In every single way now
Lay down
Have a sink
I'll be on a holiday letting a love get away
Take a drink
Level on the motorway
Freezing on a summer day
O no here we go again
It's how we are love
Just another day now
With and without love in every single way now
Lay down

Heavy Metal Eyes
06:51
|
|||
|
I know it's time to draw a line
Now I've found a way out
It came and went
A second spent of our lives and our lies laid out
And you were there calling to me
An absolute beginner and absolutely free
Heavy metal eyes crying all the time
Night after night
And you were there looking for me
Putting on a record like it's a guarantee
Silly little smiles lighting up the aisles
Time after time
A time to leave and let you breathe
Now I've found an island
And you were there calling to me
An absolute beginner and absolutely free
Heavy metal eyes crying all the time
Night after night
Until you find a word from me is absolutely nothing
I'll never let you free
In and out of style
Fall in time
Night after night

Thinking About You
03:48
|
|||
|
I don't mind dreaming about your soul
I don't mind playing a different role
Cos it takes years to work me out
Takes a good ear to hear me shout out loud
I ain't got time to feel fine when I'm thinking about
Thinking about
I ain't got time to feel fine when I'm thinking of you
Thinking about you
I don't mind sitting at home alone
I don't mind staring into the phone
Cos it takes years to work me out and many more to hear me scream and shout
Cos it takes years to work me out
Takes a good ear to hear me shout out loud
I ain't got time to feel fine when I'm thinking about
Thinking about
I ain't got time to feel fine when I'm thinking of you
Thinking about you
Dreaming about you
Thinking about you in a lullaby
Thinking and dreaming of you

Twisting
05:43

|
I could live without you here
But it's living in the fear
3 A.M. Eternal
Spinning on turntable
Though I'm alive
Might even see it in my eyes
Though I'm alive
Floating drifting broken twisting
Sun will shine without your grace
But I won't feel it on my face
3 Feet High And Rising
Gently tranquilising
You can never tell
What I know so well
In all these lullabies and long goodbyes
I can laugh away the time
But I can never call it mine
Cos it's never tasting
Another summer wasting
In a citrus sunlight
Everything is alright
Though I'm alive
Might even see it in my eyes
Though I'm alive
Floating drifting broken existing
Floating drifting broken twisting

This Is War
04:56

Love like this is learning
Is it bliss and yearning?
Burning? Turning?
Like a flower it's fading
Every hour is failing
Nothing out of something
What's going on?
What's going on?
Am I alive or are we dead?
Are we just thoughts within a head?
I don't know
Feels like season changing
Leaves are disengaging
Falling into winter
You don't know me like I know her
You don't owe me the people we share
Giving time I'll open the door
Until then this is war
What's going on?
What's going on?
Am I alive or are we dead?
Are we just thoughts within a head?
Am I really here singing a song?
Am I really here pushing it along?
I don't know

You Need Me
04:55
|

|
Are you listening to me?
Didn't ask if you could see
If there's one thing that I've found
It's my feet are on the ground
And I'm coming into land
Maybe you could lend a hand?
Cos I've been flying blind
You didn't seem to
Mind over matter heart over mind
I looked at you one day and
I didn't know what to say and
I need you more than you need me so then
I walked away from you and
I didn't know what to do and
I need you more than you need me so then
It only was a minute
Maybe not even a minute
Are you listening to me?
Don't need your ears to see
That I am walking proof
Of everlasting youth
To you I may look old
But I have broke a mould
No longer flying blind
I don't care if you
Mind over matter heart over mind
How come you have changed your mind tonight?
Did something ruin your light tonight?

The Story Or The Song?
06:35
|
|||
|
What's coming?
What's going on?
I've waited too long to wait another minute
Not enough lines in a song
To tell you you're wrong and try to win it
It's history repeating
The love you're defeating
What's coming?
What's going on?
And I shudder at the thought of ever being caught and taught a lesson
And I could very well be wrong
The story or the song?
It keeps me guessing
Little by little it's done
The talk of the sun and of tomorrows
Fool to have thought we were one
Dragging along a room of sorrows
It's history defeating
The love we're repeating
What is it we have become?
So long son
Have you had enough time? One and only love
Are you God above's sign?
Don't you know that I've been here too long following?
And soon you'll give it all away
A little bit each day
Until you're guessing
And I'm waiting on the line
Ticking off the time
I waste seconds unlearning lessons
It keeps me guessing

I immediately loved the style of this second album since first listening to 'Lost Summer' played on local radio (Three D). A melodic, meaningful and somewhat hazy sound filled with washes of guitar and voice – the perfect musical accompaniment when working or relaxing.
