Travis The Boy With No Name Lyrics
1.3 Times And You Lose

Lyricist:Travis
Writer(s):Travis

I had a nightmare
I lived in a little town
where little dreams were broken
and words were seldom spoken

I tried to reach you
but all the lines were down
Summer rain began to fall
on this little town
...on this little town

The little people
have very little left to say
their words had all been shortened
they didn't really seem important

And I had a feeling
that you were very far away
but a little voice inside me said
you'll never get away from here

And it's 1, 2,
3 Times and you lose
of course it doesn't matter how you say it
I'm out of love
so there's nothing really more to say
I'm throwing it all away

And we had a peeling
but now we all faked to see
we never look at one another
only when another suffered

And if I saw you
then it was just another face
but I still don't blank horizon
lining on the human race

And it's 1, 2,
3 Times and you lose
of course it doesn't matter how you say it
I'm out of luck
so there's nothing really more to say
I'm throwing it all away

And it's 1, 2,
3 Times and you lose
I'm out of love
so there's nothing really more to say
I'm throwing it all away
throwing it all away
throwing it all away


2.Selfish Jean

Lyricist:Travis
Writer(s):Travis

Cheers
Thanks for everything
You hung me out by my heart
You're just so selfish jean
Yes you are

Hey you
Threw it all away
By holding everything in
Hey Jean don't rock the boat
When you can't swim

With a perfect understanding of the finer things in life
A quite alarming knack of knowing when to twist the knife
Oooooooooh
Selfish Jean

Here's to you
Who read everything
Left it out on the shelf
There's no one else to blame
Except yourself

Well a perfect combination of good etiquet and charm
You keep the chocolate biscuits wired to a car alarm
Oooooooooh
Selfish Jean

Well i'm standing on my own
And this house is not a home
It's so sad to see you go
Things are high, things are low
And it's good to know you know
If you've got nowhere to go
Well you could spend the night with me
There will be no guarantee that I'll be here

In the morning
Or any time that you call
I hear you snoring Jean
Through the wall

So hey
Here's to everything
To peace and love in our time
Ah Jean the slate is clean
I guess we're fine

Well I don't expect a miracle
Not asking you to change
If you can see me happy
Well just look the other way
Oooooooooh
Selfish Jean

Heeeaaaaaah
Selfish Jean

Jean
Oh yeah
Jean


3.Closer

Genre/Lang.:Pop/Rock

I've had enough, of this parade.
I'm thinking of, the words to say.
We open up, unfinished parts,
Broken up, its so mellow.

And when I see you then I know you will be next to me
And when I need you then I know you will be there with me
I'll never leave you

Just need to get closer, closer,
Lean on me now,
Lean on me now,
closer, closer,
Lean on me now,
Lean on me now.

Keep waking up (waking up), without you here (without you here).
Another day (another day), another year (another year).
I seek the truth (seek the truth), we set apart (we set apart)
Thinking of a second chance (a second chance).

And when I see you then I know you will be next to me
And when I need you then I know you will be there with me
I'll never leave you

Just need to get closer, closer,
Lean on me now,
Lean on me now,
closer, closer,
Lean on me now,
Lean on me now (lean on me now).

And when I see you then I know you will be next to me
And when I need you then I know you will be there with me
I'll never leave you

Just need to get closer, closer,
Lean on me now,
Lean on me now,
closer, closer,
Lean on me now,
Lean on me now (lean on me now).

closer, closer closer, closer.


will be next to me
me
on me now
with me


4.Big Chair

Lyricist:Travis
Writer(s):Travis

Now you know that I heart everything about you
And that's why it's quite hard to get through this alone

You're the only one I can talk to about it
In my darkest night I will be on my own

These walls that we climb are hard to recognize
They fall when I say your name

Here we go
Fast and slow
On the big chair

But we don't know
Where we're going
On the big chair

Don't you know it's hard, quite, in the time of confusion
To tell you that I love you

You see it could have been me instead of you
It could have been me if I wanted to
But it wasn't
So we'll have to face the truth

These walls that we climb are hard to recognize
They fall when I say your name

Here we go
Fast and slow
On the big chair

But we don't know
Where we're going
On the big chair

Time to pull the shutters down
Breakin' clouds don't make a sound?

that we climb....
wooooh...

Here we go
Fast and slow
On the big chair

But we don't know
Where we're going
On the big chair


alone
confusion


5.Battleships

When will you carry me home like the wounded star in the movie
When will you carry me home take it back to the start when you
knew me
Cause' when you talk to me that way, I'll be a million miles
away
I guess it's just another day in love

We're battleships, driftin' in an alley river
Takin' hits, sinking it's now or never
Overboard, drownin' in a sea of love and hate but it's too late
Battleship down

When will you figure it out that you aren't always right little
darlin'
When will you figure out that it's not worth the fight little
darlin'
Cause' when you can't think what to say, you go and throw it all
away
I guess it's just another day in love

We're battleships, driftin' in an alley river
Takin' hits, sinking it's now or never
Overboard, drownin' in a sea of love and hate but it's too late
Battleship down

But your too smarter and I'm too dumb
With no heart in the middle

We're battleships, driftin' in an alley river
Takin' hits, sinking it's now or never
Overboard, falling into the ocean
Ship to shore, drownin' in a sea of love and hate but it's too
late
Battleship down


6.Eyes Wide Open

All these visions in my head
shoot the gunner baby for the watershed
some are live and some are dead
makes no diferrence when they're in your head...head

Keep the door open a crack
so I can see then when they attack
some are white and some are black
makes no difference when they're on your back

And I can't stop crying
And I can't stop trying
'Cause the day is dying...dying...dying
With my eyes wide open

Kept the sheep jumping the fence
so I can see teepers (?) when I'm feeling tense
disbelieve hung in suspense
I die down with my own defence

And I can't stop crying
And I can't stop trying
'Cause the day is dying...dying...dying
With my eyes wide open

All these visions in my head
shoot the gunner baby for the watershed
some are live and some are dead
makes no diferrence when they're in your head

And I can't stop crying
And I can't stop trying
'Cause the day is dying...dying...dying
With my eyes wide open


7.My Eyes

Deep in my heart, there's no room for crying,
but I'm trying to see your point of view
Deep in my heart, I'm afraid of dying,
I'd be lying if I said I'm not

Welcome in, welcome in,
Shame about the weather
Welcome in, welcome in,
It will come
It's a sin, it's a sin,
Where birds of a feather, are welcome to, land on you

Ya Ya Ya *2
You've got my eyes
We can see, what you'll be, you can't disguise
And either way, I will pray, you will be wise
Pretty soon you will see the tears in my eyes..

As each day goes by, it makes way for another,
We discover that we're not alone
And each day we try, the best we can to recover,
All the feelings that we left below

Welcome in, welcome in,
Shame about the weather
Welcome in, welcome in,
You will come
It's a sin, it's a sin,
Where birds of a feather, are welcome to, land on you

Ya Ya Ya *2
You've got my eyes
We can see, what you'll be, you can't disguise
And either way, I will pray, you will be wise
Pretty soon you will see the tears in my eyes..

Welcome in, welcome in,
Shame about the weather
Welcome in, welcome in,
You will come
It's a sin, it's a sin,
Where birds of a feather, are welcome to, land on you...

Ya Ya Ya *2
You've got my eyes
We can see, what you'll be, you can't disguise
And either way, I will pray, you will be wise
Pretty soon you will see the tears in my eyes.. *3


8.One Night

I wake up to find you laying awake
with your hands in your head
You cannot run, can't escape from the things
that you say-ay-ay

And you can tell anybody
anybody who comes
you can tell anybody
but the damage's done
the new day's begun.

One night can change everything in your life
One night can make everything alright
One night can turn all your colors to white
One night - it's easier said than done

Turning and turning but never returning
to what you once had
Learning to care for the ones you hold dear
but it's too...it's too bad

One night can change everything in your life
One night can make everything alright
One night can turn all your colors to white
One night - it's easier said than done

All that I am~

Laying beside you as cold as a statue
your hands are still warm
trying to wake you as daylight brakes through
the eye of the storm.

So you can tell everybody
everybody who comes
you can tell everybody
but the damage's done
the new day's begun.

One night can change everything in your life
One night can make everything alright
One night can turn all your colors to white
One night - it's easier said than done

One night..one...one night...one...
One night - it's easier said than done


9.Under The Moonlight

Lyricist:Travis
Writer(s):Travis

Can you see the moonbeam
In the colors of the lights
They're like flowers
Blooming in motion

Watching in vain
Unless fireworks of the night (tonight)

I begin to wake
To relive this memory
When the answer is clear
And beyond believe

There's a gift of love
That awaits the final day
But tonight...tonight...

Under the moonlight
With the one you love
Under the big sky
For the one you love
Bathing under the moonlight
With the one you love
Going places together
Tonight

In the far distance
As a dream nears the end
And summer lovers pass the time
Holding on to what they can't keep

Into that horizon
Where the ocean meets the sky
So gather up your voice
'cause tonight's the night (tonight)

Under the moonlight
With the one you love
Under the big sky
For the one you love
Laying under the moonlight
With the one you love
Going places together
Tonight (tonight) (tonight) (tonight)

Stars light up with coast light
And we'll feel this way for today
And for all time

Under the moonlight
With the one you love
Under the big sky
For the one you love
Laying under the moonlight
With the one you love
Under the moonlight
Oh we're going places together
Tonight (tonight)
Tonight (tonight)
Tonight (tonight)
Under the moonlight
Tonight (tonight)


10.Out In Space

Oh my friend
We have spent
So much time looking for someone to blame
Cause were the same
The jealous games
Take up time we could spend on other things
Oh my friend
If it ends
Let us go and then not look back again
We can't be
You and me
Taken' ourselves much too seriously

But out in space
A million miners work upon
The night's cold face
But all I see is black
And all the stars look back
At me

Oh my friend
What a friend
I'd have thought you'd have stayed here till the end
I take a bow
Draw the crowd
We're just words in the sand at high tide

But out in space
A million miners work upon
The night's cold face
But all I see is black
And all the stars look back

And I'm leaving

Oh my friend
We should spend
Some more time looking from the other end
Cause we would see
So clearly
We'd blame ourselves as much as we'd blame weed
We'd blame ourselves as much as we'd blame weed
We'd blame ourselves


11.Colder

Lyricist:Travis
Writer(s):Travis

I'm in love with everything
with every face I've ever seen
and every place I've ever been
has left its mark upon my worries

I color in the world I see
I pick apart the melody
'cause maybe there's a symphony
caught inside but there's no way out

and the sky is falling down
and there's an angel on the ground
it's getting colder
I'm standing looking down
there's not a sound around the town
it's getting colder
colder

I would show everything
but everything is too extreme
we'll wait and see the entropy
at the end when we all stop lying but the sky is falling down
and there's an angel on the ground
it's getting colder
I'm standing looking down
there's not a sound around the town
it's getting colder. oh oh oh.....

the sky is falling down
and there's an angel on the ground
it's getting colder
I'm standing looking down
there's not a sound around the town
it's getting colder

the sky is falling down
and all the people on the ground
are getting colder
I'm standing looking down again
but you can't help me now
I'm getting colder. oh oh oh.....


12.New Amsterdam

Lyricist:Travis
Writer(s):Travis

Jean-Michel Basquiat, Francois Truffaut,
Robert Zimmerman and de Niro
Paris, Texas - end of the world

New York, New York,
Good bye girl

And they meet
On Blaker Street
Or the Park that is Central
Oh no
I watched the sun go down
Down down beneath the ground
And it's a new day,
It's a new dawn,
In New Amsterdam.

The stranger in the moonlight,
Looks stranger in the moonlight

And they meet
On Blaker Street
Or the Park that is Central
Oh no
I watched the sun go down
Down down beneath the ground
And it's a new day,
It's a new dawn,
In New Amsterdam.

And we meet
On Blaker Street
Or the Park that is Central
Oh no
I watched the sun go down
Down down beneath the ground
And it's a new day,
It's a new dawn,
In New Amsterdam.


13.Sailing Away / Hidden Track

Lyricist:Travis
Writer(s):Travis

What are we gonna do,
when you've stopped crying?
What ever you're going through
it's not worth dying.

Chasing away the blues,
I know you're trying.
And nobody wants to lose,
I don't know why.

Cause I live by the river,
live by the river and
I'll die by the river
I'm sailing, away, today.

What are you gonna say
when they stop laughing?
You're giving it all away
when you've got nothing.

How many times a day
you feel like walking?
Taking a holiday from
all the shy-y-y...

But I live by the river,
live by the river and
I'll die by the river
I'm sailing, away, today.

Cause I live by the river,
live by the river and
I'll die by the river
I'm sailing, away, today.

And you've got to grab
the bull by the horns my friend
it's the only way to go.

And when the story's told
we can go home.

So what are we gonna do,
when you've stopped crying? (stopped crying)
What ever you're going through
it's not worth dying.

Keeping away the blues
you know I'm trying. (I'm trying)
What've we got to lose,
and testify-y-y...

Cause I live by the river,
live by the river and
I'll die by the river
I'm sailing, away,
I'm sailing, away,
I'm sailing, away, today. ooh
