1.Mother
Mother take that ride
You got in my mind
Tellem what you found
Write it down
What you have is enough
What you want with so much stuff
What you need is a hug
From a passenger you love
One you love
One you love
One you love
One you love
Write a book
Change your name
Run a thousand miles away
Bite the hook
Change your game
In the end its all the same
Happy ever after
Dancing with disaster
Hold me close and listen to the song
Why did we wait so long? Ohhhh
Why did we wait so long?
Once upon a cold and starless night
Saw a vision or a trick of light
We know theres nothing wrong
Days are short nights are long
Answer me this question then Im gone
Ohhh why did we wait so long?
Ohhh why did we wait so long?
Ohhh why did we wait so long?
Ohhh why did we wait so long?
Ohhh why did we wait so long?
2.Moving
Verse 1:
Another day, I feel the weight of the atmosphere's pressure
And I can't escape
I try to run, I try to find my feet,
My soul is sticking to the street
I get a move, I got to get myself to clean my shoes
And take the cynic route
I was afar, I'm following the star
Home isn't where you are
Chorus:
And everything is falling into place
And then we move again
So take the curve and move along
Until we're gone, we're moving on
And on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and on
Verse 2:
I feel alive, I am aware of the colors in the sky
And where the birds don't fly
And if the night is coming pretty soon
I'm walking through the dark with you
I've got to play
I've got to listen to my toy today
On the motorway
And I could feel, the ground beneath my wheels,
Putting me back in my place
Chorus:
And everything is falling into place
And then we move again
So take the curve and move along
Until we're gone, we're moving on
And on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and on
And on,
Verse 3:
Another day, another place where I can find my way
Take the avenue way
And I know exactly where to go
Home isn't where you stay
Chorus:
And everything is falling into place
And then we move again
So take the curve and move along
Until we're gone, we're moving on
And on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and on
Outro:
I feel alive, I am aware of the colors in the sky
And where the birds don't fly
And if the night is coming retty soon
I'm walking through the dark with you
3.Reminder
Celebrate, don't be late
Finish what's on your plate
Be the change you wanna see
Seek the truth, set it free
And I wanna tell you
This is a reminder
This is a reminder
This is a reminder
This is a reminder
Why does time move so fast?
Precious things never last
Figure out, don't forget
Only love, no regrets
And I gotta tell you
This is a reminder
This is a reminder
This is a reminder
This is a reminder
All of the things you never noticed
All of the lines you cling to that don't mean a thing
All of the dates that you were late for
All of the rounds you should've paid for
And I wanna tell you
This is a reminder
This is a reminder
This is a reminder
This is a reminder
This is a reminder
This is a reminder
This is a reminder
This is a reminder
4.Where You Stand
Bumper car me left or right
I'll take a thousand knocks
There's a happy man in there
And you won't blink your eyes
Like all the things you lost before I
Cracked when you left me you know-oh
Like all the things you found
Mmm mmm
Don't taste them just swallow them whole
I forfeit my time
And wait while you make up your mind
So tell me if you ever find your flag
Cause I will be right by you where you stand
Lift me up or tear me down
I'll stand right up again
There's happy soul in there
But you won't let him in
Like all the things we say before we
Crumble and fall to the floor
Like all the things we try
Aye aye
I know where it's headed and so
I forfeit my time
And wait while you re-make up your mind up
So tell me if you ever find your flag
Cause I will be right by you where you stand
Oh I will be right by you where you stand
I will deliver
Where you stand I will not fall
Where you stand there is no ocean
Nor a river, nor a shore
I fall into line
And wait while you make up your mind
So tell me if you ever find your flag
I forfeit my time
And wait while you make up your mind
So tell me if you ever find your flag
Cause I will be right by you where you stand
Oh I will be right by you where you stand
Oh I will be right by you where you stand
5.Warning Sign
In the middle of the night I hear you
Talking in your sleep the same old story
All I know it's not me
You've been talking to
All the wishes
All the joy and wonder
Sleeping with the fishes
Six feet under
All I want can't be done
Locked without a key
Oh where you going now?
Don't let your heart run out on me
Don't set the horses free
We never laid it on the line
No time, no warning sign
In the middle of the day I find you
Turning round the tables
And turning off your mind
In rewind you can't find a silent night
All the paper lying on the ground
Burning pages and those spinning heads
Is something wrong in their lives?
We were paradise
Oh Where are you going wrong?
Don't let your heart run out on me
Don't set the horses free
We never laid it on the line
No time no warning sign
Where are you going wrong?
Where are you going wrong?
Where are you going wrong?
Where are you going wrong?
Where are you going wrong?
Where are you going wrong?
Where are you going wrong?
Where you going?
Don't let your heart run out on me
Don't set the horses free
We never laid it on the line
No time no warning sign
Don't let your heart run out on me
Don't set the horses free
We never laid it on the line
No time no warning sign
6.Another Guy
You can say what you want
Say what you want
But it won't change a thing
Won't change a thing
You can say what you want
Say what you want
But it won't change a thing
Won't change a thing
Cause I saw you with another guy
I saw you with another guy
Yeah, I saw you with another guy
Holding hands, kissing eye to eye
You can cry all your like
Cry all you like
But it don't change a thing
Don't change a thing
You can cry all your like
Cry all you like
But it don't change a thing
Don't change a thing
Cause I saw you with another guy
I saw you with another guy
Holding hands, kissing eye to eye
Yeah, I saw you with another guy
Cause I saw you with another guy
I saw you with another guy
Yeah, I saw you with another guy
Holding hands, kissing eye to eye
You can say what you want
Say what you want
But it won't change a thing
Won't change a thing
You can say what you want
Say what you want
But it won't change a thing
7.A Different Room
Once in a while I see what's going on
And disappear into the world
Behind the one that's here
It never lasts as long as a dream can last
And then I'm back into
The ways that make the days go fast
So grab my hand and make it last
And hold me close, don't leave so soon
Let all the flowers bloom and don't let go
Or I will blow away into a different room
Is it so strange? Tell me you feel the same
Or shut my mouth, I can't pretend I haven't said it now
Let's just pretend our numbered days won't end
Infinity this endless space and time for you and me
And yours and mine forever we will
Hold me close, don't leave so soon
Let all the flowers bloom and don't let go
Or I will blow away into a different room
And there's no door to get me back
To get me back there
There's no window to see
I tell myself that it was no
That it was nowhere
And all becomes a dream
And hold me close, don't leave so soon
Let all the flowers bloom and don't let go
Or I will blow away into a different room
8.New Shoes
From the baby in the womb to the burden in the room
From the body in the tomb to the man in the moon mhm.
From the bottom of the hill to the top of the hill
From the hole in your head when you can't sit still
All wrapped up in a cotton bud
Watch the sun go down, watch it come back up.
Take another sip from the broken cup
Drippin' little tap keeps me woken up, oh
Oh oh, ohh
Chorus:
New shoes, old blues
Walking round the streets of London town singing
Up on the roof
If I lose, you lose
You and I could spend our time just lying dreaming
Of Hollywood
With these new shoes.
From the people in the front to the people in the back
To the people in the back, can you hear the stack?
From the down and the out to the uptown girl
From the daisy chain to the string of pearls
All wrapped up in a cotton bud
Watch the sun go down and watch it come back up, mhm
mhm mhm
2 x Chorus:
New shoes, old blues
Walking round the streets of London town singing
Up on the roof
If I lose, you lose
You and I could spend our time just lying dreaming
Of Hollywood
With these new shoes.
9.On My Wall
I didn't ever mean to steal from you
But how could I resist?
When everything you are and say and do
Is perfect as it is
I didn't really mean to go this far
But now I've broken in
And now I wanna stay and stay away
From every place I've been
You see
These old record sleeves
Don't keep me warm at all
The TV won't answer me
Like all the people on my wall
I only want to try to be your friend
If you don't have enough
Sometimes I think you know that in the end
That you and I are 'us'
You see
These old record sleeves
Don't keep me warm at all
The TV won't answer me
Like all the people on my wall
And I don't mind if you don't write
Or call on me
One day the faces on my wall
Will fall for me
I don't have any choice
A little voice says I belong to you
And you won't ever be
Rid of me, no matter what you do
You see
These old record sleeves
Don't keep me warm at all
The TV won't answer me
Like all the people on my wall
10.Boxes
When everything, when everything was out of reach
The sky was up, the ground was right below our feet
We played in boxes, we played in boxes
Cardboard boxes
We played in boxes, we played in boxes
Cardboard boxes
We wasted time, we wasted time before we knew
Don't punch the clock or time will run away with you
We live in boxes, we live in boxes
Concrete boxes
We live in boxes, we live in boxes
Concrete boxes
And now your childhood is over
You're a man they have said
You silently shoulder all the plans they have made
You pack down your boxes and ask 'Who am I?'
The biggest trick, the biggest trick they play on you
To make you think the show won't go on without you
We go in boxes, we go in boxes
Wooden boss
We go in boxes, we go in boxes
Wooden boxes
And now the room has been emptied
I'm alone in my bed
The heart is a box which the soul has fled
The spell has been broken and the last word is said
11.The Big Screen
Life doesn't fit on the big screen
And I'm just a bit part in the scene
Sitting in the dark in the back row
Nobody's watching me
The lights all come on
And life carries on
I still love you
On the big screen
Uhhh, on the big screen.
This won't turn out like the movies
Cause actors wash off their bruises
Believing all the madness
We're over the gallows they nailed me on
They cut from the scene
And wake from the dream
And I still love you
On the big screen
Uhhh, on the big screen.
The big screen's aflame with desire
While we're fighting fire with fire
What I've already said?
Nobody to care and carry me home
The plans that we make
The last serenade
The roles that we take
The electric parade
I still love you
On the big screen
Ooh, on the big screen.
