12 Memories

Travis 12 Memories Lyrics
1.Quicksand

Take me away take me away
You say that you were gonna stay
But you're always lying anyway
You're gonna suffer if you don't start breathing
Now
Now that I need you
You're going away
Every day sinking in the quicksand
Follow me down the drain

But it dosen't matter anyway
You're gonna get yours any day
And why you put the blame on me
If you could only see yourself as others see
Now that I need you
You're going insane
Every day sinking in the quicksand
Follow me down the drain
Every day drinking in the same bar
Drowning my sorrows away

Take me away take me today
Or I'm never gonna get away
But it makes no difference to me
It's just the sound of one more rock star bleeding
Now
Now that I need you
You're out of the frame
Day by day sinking in the quicksand
Follow me down the drain
Every day drinking in the same bar
Make mine the same again


2.The Beautiful Occupation

Don't just stand there watching it happening
I can't stand it
Don't feel it
Something telling me
Don't wanna go out this way
But have a nice day then
Read it in the headlines
Watch it on the TV
Put it in the background
Stick it in the back
Stick it in the back
For the beautiful occupation
The beautiful occupation
You don't need an invitation
To drop in upon a nation

I'm too cynical
I'm just sitting here
I'm just wasting my time
Half a million civilians gonna die today
But look the wrong way then
Read it in the headlines
Watch it on the TV
Put it in the background
Stick it in the back
Stick it in the back
For the beautiful occupation
The beautiful occupation
You don't need an invitation
To drop in upon a nation

Don't just stand there watching it happening
I can't feel it
Don't need this
Something telling me
Don't wanna go out this way
But have a nice day then
Read it in the headlines
Watch it on the TV
Put it in the background
Stick it in the back
Stick it in the back
For the beautiful occupation
The beautiful occupation
You don't need an invitation
To drop in upon a nation

The beautiful occupation
The beautiful occupation
So much for an intervention
Don't call the united nations


3.Re-Offender

Keeping up appearences
Keeping up with the Jones'
Fooling my selfish heart
Going through the motions
But I'm fooling myself
I'm fooling myself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again
You do it again
And you say your sorry's
And then you do it again
You do it again

Everybody thinks you're well
Everybody thinks I'm ill
Watching me fall apart
Falling under your spell
But you're fooling yourself
You're fooling yourself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again
You do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again
You do it again and again and again
And again and again

But you're fooling yourself
You're fooling yourself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again
You do it again
You say your sorry's
Then you do it again
You do it again

You say you love me
Then you do it again
You do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again
you do it again and again and again
And again and again


4.Peace The Fuck Out

Now I don't know that your tie is straight
Your words are crooked and you're gonna pay
In ten years time they're gonna say
That this was the momment when you threw it away

And it's all wrong, handbags at dawn
And turn the radio off to hear a song
Oh please don't give up
You have a voice, don't lose it
You have a choice, so choose it
You have a brain, so use it
The time has come to
Peace the fuck out

Now I don't know what you're talking about
There's too much shit pouring out of your mouth
The time is up, the secret's out
The truth's gonna catch you going south

But it's all wrong, handbags at dawn
And turn the radio off to hear a song
Oh please don't give up
You have a voice, so use it

Yeah but it's all wrong, handbags at dawn
And turn the radio off to hear a song
Oh please don't give up
You have a voice, don't lose it
You have a choice, so choose it
You have a brain, so use it
The time has come to
Peace the fuck out


5.How Many Hearts

How many hearts
Does it take to break
All of the bonds
That young lovers make
Hoping to find
The next golden egg
One that will shine
Through the rest of time

How many roads
Must there need to be
Hoping inside
You could mean to me
Open your mouth
Build your sermon there
Give me more time
Do the best I can

Hopelessly hoping our plan will wake up
Hoping it all will be fine
Holding our candles through weather or not
Love be the enemy now
Now for the rest of time

A long time ago
There was only me
And there was no
Rings eternally
Won't be the same
No one there to blame
No longer care

And you are, and you are a new age...

Hopelessly hoping our plan will wake up
Hoping it all will be fine
Holding our candles through weather or not
Love be the enemy now
Now for the rest of time

And you are and you are a new age...


6.Paperclips

Paperclips
Melody
Hold together all these memories
Memories
Memories
I don't want to think at all
I don't wanna be like you anymore
I don't wanna see your face at my door
And I'll never leave like you
That's for sure
I don't wanna be like you anymore, anymore, anymore

Take a trip down memory lane
You will never wanna go again
Take your leave
Take your leave
I don't wanna sing at all
I don't wanna be like you anymore
I don't wanna see your face at my door
And I'll never leave like you
That's for sure
I don't wanna be like you anymore, anymore, anymore

.......decide
We get by
We get by
I won't take this
No more sadness
Now
Now
Paperclips
Memories
Hold together all these melodies
Melody
Melody
I don't want to sing at all
I don't wanna be like you anymore
I don't wanna see your face at my door
And I'll never leave like you
That's for sure
I don't wanna live like you anymore, anymore, anymore


7.Somewhere Else

Home and away
Life goes on the same, you bury the pain
And hold on to love
Heal the song, sing along
But what does it change?

Oh, this life is so confusing
Feels like I'm always losing

Come in of knowing everything
But don't say a word, till they teach you the way
Words are found too close to the edge
That we don't dare sing

This will turn into something else, something else
And when it does, I'll be somewhere else, somewhere else
Where else?

And you said I should be myself
Despite all the wrong, dragging you back
Forgive and then forgone and on and on and on

But this life is so confusing
Feels like I'm always losing

And this'll turn into something else, something else
But when it does, I'll be somewhere else, somewhere else
Where else?


8.Love Will Come Through

If I told you a secret
You won't tell a soul
Will you hold it and keep it alive
Cause it's burning a hole
And I can't get to sleep
And I can't live alone in this lie
So look up

Take it away
Don't look da da da down the mountain
If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return anyone, anything, anyhow

So take me don't leave me
Take me don't leave me
Baby, love will come through
It's just waiting for you

Well I stand at the crossroads
Of highroads and lowroads
And I got a feeling it's right
If it's real what I'm feeling
There's no make believe
In the sound of the wings of the flight of a dove

Take it away
Don't look da da da down the mountain
If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return anyone, anything, anyhow

So take me don't leave me
Take me don't leave me
Baby, love will come through
It's just waiting for you

Oh look up
Take it away
Don't look da da da down
If the world isn't turning
You heart won't return anyone, anthing, anyhow

So take me don't leave me
Take me don't leave me
Baby, love will come through
It's just waiting for you
Love will come through
Love will come through
Love will come through


9.Mid-Life Kyrsis

Lyrics:Francis Healy
Music:Francis Healy
Arranger:Travis
Artist:Francis Healy

Memories fill your harbour
History to be made
Jealousy in the cupboard
You with me to the grave

Mid-life krysis
You invited everyone
You can't win
You can't wake from this nightmare

Every day is like a movie
Third world war on the rise
Don't take it in the city
Making love to get high

Mid-life krysis
You invited everyone
You can't win
You can't wake from this nightmare

I waste my time I waste my
Don't waste my time don't waste my
I waste my time I waste my
Don't waste my time don't waste my

Energy
Say you're in love with me
Save yourself
Maybe then
You'll have some children
Maybe you'll have none

Mid-life krysis
You invited everyone
You can't win
You can't wake from this nightmare

And you invited everyone
You can't win
You can't wake from this nightmare


10.Happy To Hang Around

They were following me
They were following everyone
They had visions of me
Holding hands walking into the sun
Now people get down, people get down
People get hurt
And when you did it to me
I was already in the ground
And I'll never get into your heart
No I don't even want to start
I'll never get into your heart
I'm just happy to hang around
Happy to hang around
Happy to hang around

Take a picture of me
And show it to everyone
No more pictures of you
No more love no more setting sun
Now people get down, people get down
People get hurt
And when you did it to me
I was already in the dirt
And I'll never get into your heart
No I don't even want to start
I'll never get into your heart
I'm just happy to hand around
Happy to hang around
Happy to hang around

And I'll never get into your heart
No I don't even want to start
I'll never get into your heart
I'm just happy to hang around
Happy yo hang around
Happy to hang around
