1.Fish In A Bowl
Everywhere i go
A thousand faces stare at me
Eating from the palm
A date from hand to mouth
Break a leg!
The shoes are on the bottom
On your way
But the wardrobe always stays wide open
All washed up
Stood on the shore
The wave is over
But i'm all washed up
Fish in a bowl
Everywhere i go
All bob and weave
Or sew it seams
Aiming low in life
They keep their noses clean
All washed up
Stood on the shore
The wave is over
But i'm all washed up
Fish in a bowl
An ordered life from start to finish
And my timing is out
All washed up
Stood on the shore
The wave is over
But i'm all washed up...fish!
2.Immaterial
Seasons are changing
The evening's closing in
Buy a small house down
Where everything looks bright
And cleaned so right
I hope i can see you
You seem so far away
Everyone's leaving, they've got to get away
And search for that dreamland so pack your bags
Create the brand new day
I hope i can see you
So many miles from home
I'm lost without a phone
But around the world we go
What can i tell you？
It's immaterial
And what can i say now that i'm out in the cold？
Your letters speak of so many things we find so rare
A steady job, cold charity
But it's kinder so they say...
I hope i can see you
So many miles from home
I'm lost without a phone
But around the world we go
What can i tell you？
It's immaterial
And what can i say now that i'm out in the cold？
Wherever you set your heart
It's best to call it home
But in a modern world
10,000 leagues are not too far to rome
I hope i can see you
So many miles from home and i'm lost without a phone
But around the world we go
What can i tell you？
It's immaterial
And what can i say now that i'm out in the cold？
It's immaterial
It's immaterial
3.So Tired
Scent on a postcard
A memory left behind
Warm hand, cool look but no time...
Winsome lose some
Hung up on old flame
My heart depends on fire
So who am i to make demands on love？
'...relax and walk on by'
So tired
So tired
Beaten like a drum
So tired
Living life alone
So tired
Beaten like a drum
Kiss the right faces
And tap the party line
Short measure of cheap skate pleasure
Easier said than done
Sip the night water
But not too drunk to say
Well just who am i to ever hope to love you？
I'd turn and shy away
So tired
So tired
Beaten like a drum
So tired
Living life alone
So tired
Beaten like a drum
Once upon a bed
You said you loved me
Once upon a bed
Those eyes of blue
Now what am i supposed to do？
So tired -
So tired
Beaten like a drum
So tired
Live my life alone, so alone
Once upon a bed
You said you loved me
Once upon a bed
Those eyes of blue
And what am i to rhyme with 'you'？
Now i lie alone and so defenceless
Dream of love in sunny daze with you
So tired...
4.Hidden Years
I know you're here
You won't come out
Below the water line
Now where's my glove to keep the germs at bay
So safe up here
My air is clean
Recycle
Rarify
Down in the street
Deep breathe your life away
Relive the hidden years
Won't clutch at straws again - whiter than white in the home!
One midas touch and zeros grow
Guilt edge and two points down
In touch but out of mind in pleasure dome
Through hungry years and scraping skies
Collided with the stars
I framed your face
You lit the silver hughes!
Relive the hidden years (in vain)
Won't clutch at straws again - whiter than white in the home!
Relive the hidden years (in vain)
Won't clutch at straws again - whiter than white in the home!
5.40 Home
Think in time
Early evening light will start to fade
And we'll be called inside
To wait for chance to say
Can i stay out late or maybe just an hour
But when you call i know that all i have to say is...
Forty forty home
You never could catch me
With a stocking and a ball
Around the world a yo-yo spun
You would skip and i would run
Those long days are slipping away
Days will pass
Taking turns to hide and lose our way
And beats will change the rhythm of the year
A worn out gate will swingalongasister
And running out calling to a friendly teaser
Forty forty home
You never would catch me
My ball against the wall
But around the world a yo-yo spun
Dodge the conkers one by one
But yours always came my way
Cross my path was something
I could not expect again
From beast to beauty, beautiful remain
Slide this way
Don't leave your past in shadow
And paper plane will fly your way on golden wings of...
Forty forty home
So now you have caught me
Your stocking said it all
Played the game and won, two, three
Made your move and captured me
So never let me go
Counting the spots on the lino
It seemed such a waste of time
But can't you stick to your side of the garden？
And i to mine!
Forty forty home
You never would catch me
My ball against the wall
But around the world a yo-yo spun
Dodge the conkers one by one
But yours always came my way
6.High Noon
A leather life from the prairie to the blue, blue ocean
A one horse town of promised gold and western fortune
Oh, token slug of bourbon
Time after time
High noon - riding a dream
Lie after lie
High noon - not what they seem
But it only happened in film
Hot dust and lust, a dawn to dusk can lead to danger
I bought a lover locket - a barroom dolly -
Bathtub stranger (swear to me calamity again!)
Sasperella
Red neck fella
Lace umbrella
Be my girl!
When i find the west is won
Got to keep on rolling on and on
Time after time
High noon - riding a dream
Lie after lie
High noon - not what they seem
Mile after mile
High noon - building a dream
Lie after lie
High noon - not what they seem
7.Too Up, Two Down
Two up two down terrace town, heading far away
Well i just deserted but i've seen that road before
Two up two down terrace town, roll on salad days
Well i'm a mighty lorne greene to mow
Oh oh! better let me grow
You're bringing me up, holding me down
The looks, the sighs and the frowns
So this time i'm on my own!
It's eyes down look in but don't you ever turn back
(back to front in the back to backs) and it's no big deal
From a heartless jack
Who keeps cheating the cards
And splitting the deck
You're bringing me up, holding me down
The looks, the sighs and the frowns
So this time i'm on my own!
Just watch me go
Too up too down terrace town, numbing all the senses
Well i just left home but i've seen that porch before
Well, i'm too up too down terrace town, leaning on defences
But i'm a ruddy lorne greene to mow so now
You'd better let me grow
You're bringing me up, holding me down
Stick in the mud, face in the ground
So this time i'm on my own
Oh this time i'm on my own
Building you up
Pulling me down
Sick of the glares, the flair's and the browns
So this time i'm on my own
Oh this time i'm on my own.
Too up too down
Too up two down
8.Benefit Of The Doubt
What became of us
In the night light
Turn to touch your hand
Hand's don't understand
What's a right from wrong
When i think of all the things we've done
Never made the rules
But counting one to ten was easy
It's always happening - slowly, surely happening
Could have been another way
It looked bad from the start
Won't you give me, give me benefit of the doubt
Could have been another day for pulling the plug
On my heart won't you give me, give me benefit of the doubt
Oh well here we go again acting like old friends
It's hard to compromise
When love's locked in your eyes
Always out to stay then twice as hard to go
But what you reap i sew
And counting one to ten was easy
It's always happening - slowly, surely happening
Could have been another way
It looked bad from the start
Won't you give me, give me benefit of the doubt
Could have been another day
For pulling the plug on my heart
Won't you give me, give me benefit of the doubt
Won't you give me, give me benefit of the doubt
Won't you give me, give me benefit of the doubt
Could have been another day
For pulling the plug on my heart - ouch!
Won't you give me, give me benefit of the doubt
Could have been another way
It looked bad from the start - ouch!
Won't you give me, give me benefit of the doubt
Could have been another day
For pulling the plug on my heart
Oh, won't you give. me give me benefit of the doubt
Could have been another way
It looked bad from the start
Won't you give me, give me benefit of the
Could have been another day
For pulling the plug on my heart
Won't you give me, give me benefit of the doubt
9.Prime Time
Cavalier roses, but the thorns got in my soul
Chocolate box intention, but a bitter taste left me cold
Take a little something, a present clouds the past
Traded our emotions, it couldn't last, wouldn't last at all
And though you didn't say
I knew you'd swim away
Fine time for hook and line
And though what's done is done, yeah
I know my right from wrong
Prime time to cast me down!
Bitter suite decision, sofa so good the day we met
Eye for eye collision, pillow talking, only pillow talking
Matinee romancing, the bait is set, the net is cast
Cheated our emotions, it couldn't last
Wouldn't last at all
Although you didn't say
I knew you'd swim away
Prime time for hook and line
And though what's done is done
I know my right from wrong
Prime time to cast me down!
And words are words that's all
I'm going to stand or fall
Prime time for hook and line
Don't you swim away...
Prime time for the hook and line
Prime time for the hook and line
For the hook, the hook and line
Although you didn't say, yeah
I knew you'd swim away
Prime time for hook and line
And though what's done is done, yeah
I know my right from wrong
Prime time to cast me down
Line by line adventure
A prime time for the hook and line
Castaway in pleasure
A prime time
Curtain razor tension
A prime time for the hook and line
Wasted our emotions
A prime time
10.Where Do You Run To Now？
Where do you run to now？
Where do you run to？
How many times will i fall for the lines and your cues
Where do you run to now？
And where do you turn to？
Passing away like the sun
People leave their tracks behind
Can't ever tear yourself from my mind
Why did you smile and slip away？
Is there nothing more i can say to you？
Just think what you're putting me through
Who's in the running now？
Who do you cling to？
Sifting the friends like the passing of waves over sand
And who's going to call your hand？
Who's going to understand？
So i wait...
People leave their tracks behind
Can't ever tear yourself from my mind
Why did you let it slip away？
Is there nothing left for me to say？
Forget it - we'll call it a day
Where do you run to now？
Where do you run to？
How many times would you fall for your lines in my shoes？
And who do you run with now？
Who do you turn to now？
With a laugh in your eyes...
11.Infatuation
Plan for your leisure
Through the long cool night
That sleeps into day
Gave you part of my paradise
But then you locked me up and flattened the key
How much more can i give you？
All my love is not enough
Don't look back
It never seems the same again, oh no!
Infatuation!
Infatuation!
Taste of the moment
Love on rocks you always mix it so well
Lap it up, just like your new found good boy
Pat my head so i'll never tell
How much more can i give you？
All my love is not enough
Don't look back
It never seems the same again, oh no!
Infatuation!
Infatuation!
Heart made to measure
Lose the thread just when i'm taking it in
Heads or tails, you're such a gamble
Now it's finished don't you start up again
How much more have i to give you？
Is my love just not enough？
Don't look back, it never seems the same again, oh no!
Infatuation!
Infatuation!
