Get Out And Walk

The Farmer's Boys Get Out And Walk Lyrics
1.Matter Of Fact

It's not that I don't care for you
I just didn't want you to know
I may not be so perfect but
You knew that a long time ago

Whenever we meet I can hardly remain upright on my feet
Joking apart I don't know, know where to start

It's not that I don't care for you
I just didn't want you to know
I may not be so perfect but
You knew that a long time ago

Whenever we talk I can hardly believe the words that I hear
Purely by chance I drift off, off in a trance

There's a voice in my head and it tells me beware
There's a message I've read and the meaning is clear
There's a question that's asked but I don't want to hear
There's an answer to this but I don't know...

Whenever you're close I can hardly contain the feelings within
Matter of fact, I tend to overreact

It's not that I don't care for you
I just didn't want you to know
I may not be so perfect but
You knew that a long time ago

It's not that I don't care
I just didn't want you to know
I may not be so perfect but
You knew that a long time ago

Whenever we meet I can hardly remain upright on my feet
Joking apart I don't know, know where to start


2.More Than A Dream

I'm speaking, not thinking, not sure if I'm making sense
I'm dreaming, not sleeping, awake it doesn't make sense

But I'm waiting for a sign
Anything to stall for time

Could you ever be more than a dream to me
Are you something to idolise?
But I'm waiting for the time
Could I ever make things fine

I'm speaking, not thinking, not sure if I'm making sense
I'm dreaming, not sleeping, awake it doesn't make sense

But I'm waiting for the time
Could I ever make you mine

But I'm never sure what I can take for it
It's a curious state of mind
Will my dream ever come true
Does it all depend on you?

I'm speaking, not thinking, not sure if I'm making sense
I'm dreaming, not sleeping, awake it doesn't make sense

Dream, as precious as life, those warm summer nights
Dream, obsession to me, a target for love

But I'm never sure what I can take for it
It's a curious state of mind
But I'm waiting for a sign
Anything to stall for time
Could you ever be more than a dream to me
Are you something to idolise?
Will my dream ever come true
Does it all depend on you?
I'm speaking, not thinking, not sure if I'm making sense
I'm dreaming, not sleeping, awake it doesn't make sense


3.I Woke Up This Morning

I got up early, I'm feeling great and on a Saturday
You're busy washing, I've had a shave
I'm not obliged to stay
We met just hours ago, don't say I told you so
Even my friends don't know

I caught you smiling, don't laugh at those
That's me on holiday
And if I ask you, 'are you ok?', you're not obliged to say
We only met last night, I fell in love on sight
I hope we're doing right

Close my eyes, count to five, pinch myself I'm still alive
Look around, I see you, it's not a dream it must be true
Sometimes it's called, fooling around, but in this case
That's not allowed

I got up early, still feeling great and on a Saturday
And when you ask me 'am I ok?', well what else can I say?
We met just hours ago, I really love you so
Even my friends don't know

Close my eyes, count to five, pinch myself I'm still alive
Look around, I see you, it's not a dream it must be true
Sometimes it's called, fooling around, but in this case
That's not allowed


4.The Way You Made Me Cry

There's a man who tends the bar I'm in this evening
And he tells me I'm my own worst enemy
Even so I'm still sat here on this barstool
With only a gin for company

I know it's wrong to look for answers in a glass
But the questions keep on coming and this cigarette's my last
I know some things you've done surprised me in the past
But there's still one thing I never thought you'd do

I'd like to think about the way we met that night
I'd like to think of all the warmth of holding tight
But all I think of is the way you made me cry
A thing I never thought you'd do
All that I think of is the way you said goodbye
And that's the last I've seen of you

I've spent many nights just trying to find a reason
And my friends say I'm a fool to myself
Even so another gin has just been ordered
And the barman seems concerned about my health

Last night I dreamt I smelt the perfume that you wear
When I woke up in the morning I still thought you might be there
And I turned over but it's only in despair
Cos there's still one thing I never thought you'd do

I'd like to think about the way we met that night
I'd like to think of all the warmth of holding tight
But all I think of is the way you made me cry
A thing I never thought you'd do
All that I think of is the way you said goodbye
And that's the last I've seen of you

Last night I dreamt I smelt the perfume that you wear
When I woke up in the morning I still thought you might be there
And I reached over but it's only in despair
Cos there's still one thing I never thought you'd do

I'd like to think about the way we met that night
I'd like to think of all the warmth of holding tight
But all I think of is the way you made me cry
A thing I never thought you'd do
All that I think of is the way you said goodbye
And that's the last I've seen of you


5.A Promise You Can't Keep

Love's running away from me
Through open eyes I still can't see
You, important part of me
Walking on air, you'll find me there
What's on your mind? Love's so unkind
I waited hours for it, something so rare I held it close
Closer than ever now
What could be near, and yet so far?
Love's running away from me
Through open eyes I still can't see
Where there is time, you could be mine
Why dwell on past encounters?
At least they still affect us

Time, ticking away from us
Where there is time you still are mine
Love's running away from you
Through open eyes I've seen right through
Where there is hope I think I'll cope
Why wait in transit for it, rise up and reach out for it

Listen, though things may go wrong
It's forever, a promise you can't keep
I'll wait a lifetime for it, I'll rise, reach out and then
I'll...


6.Soft Drink

I'm in need of something refreshing
Think I need a soft drink

Think I need something to calm me down, I get in a state
Can't seem to cope with mixing my drink and work these days
I'm going down, drown for the third time in the froth and dregs
Try to walk across the floor but I can't feel my legs

Oh anyone here help me find my way to bed
How can I hope to cope with an aching head?
Bababada etc

Just let me feel the thrill of it fizzing up my nose
I can even feel the blood returning to my toes
I'm going down, drown for the third time in the froth and dregs
I try to walk across the floor but I can't feel my legs

Oh anyone here got an antidote to take
How can I hold my beer when I've got the shakes?
Bababada etc

Think I need something to calm me down, I get in a state
Can't seem to cope with mixing my drink and work each day
I'm going down, drown for the third time in the froth and dregs
Try to walk across the floor but I can't feel my legs
My legs, my legs...


7.Wailing Wall

Find out there's a lot to learn,
Seems such distress.
Looks like every move is planned,
Only to impress.
Find out its another day seems such relief,
Can't you see, how else can I come to terms
With a time beyond belief?
I could get lost but someone always points the way.

I know there's a lot at stake, must be some kind of mistake,
I'd give more, than I could take, I know I've taken beatings,
But all that's hurt is feelings.

Look out there's a way to go, only use some sense,
More or less seems like every word is planned
Just to cause offence,
I'm only one of millions struggling the the day.

I know there's a lot at stake, must be some kind of mistake,
I'd give more than I could take, to meet with your approval.
I'll wait for the second tide, I know that its cold outside.
Who cares if it dents my pride, I'm giving up all vices
To help me through this crisis.

Oh there's a lot to learn, how can I come to terms?
Oh its another day, so much to say.
I could get lost but someone always points the way.


8.For You

Don't wait up late I won't be home tonight
Nor in the morning, don't wait at all
I've said my piece, I can't say anymore
How can you add to what's said before?

I said life could be wonderful
You paid no attention
I saw all of the warnings but
I know I'm wrong again

Tears falling, hearts calling, out to you
Eyes burning, I'm learning what to do
But if I had the chance to try and start again
Though I don't know when
Still falling, still falling for you

Don't close your eyes, I want just one last glance
I'm tired of talk of a second chance
I've done it all, I can't do anymore
How can you add to what's done before

I said life could be wonderful
You just looked right through it
I thought I could control myself
I know I'm wrong again

Chorus

I said life could be wonderful
You paid no attention
I saw all of the warnings but
I know I'm wrong again

Chorus


9.Torn In Two

Taking time off from his work around the home
He sits down and finds a message by the phone
Thinking back to what he said to her last night
It's not worth it he'll give up without a fight

She captured the spirit, she gave him hope
Without her comfort he cannot cope
Looks at the message, tears it in two
Looks at the phone now he ought to...

She is busy turning letters into type
It's not easy doing things that you don't like
Turns to thinking in her morning coffee break
Should she call him hopefully it's not too late

She can't show her feelings but she can't hide
Can't hide emotions - it wouldn't do
All of her family all of her friends
Could be her downfall could be the end

He gets bored and so he walks out to his car
He needs friends and he needs comfort of a bar
She is lying in her bedroom semi-dressed
Reads a book to stop herself from being depressed

He drives through the night and he parks his car
Drinks to forget her, he goes too far
She shuts her book and turns out the light
He's found another bed for the night


10.Who Needs It

Blue eyes are nice, what colour are those?
I can tell but not so loud
There's a chance that I'd go to pieces
So I find who needs it

Blue eyes hard to miss it's no surprise
Make a wish then bow and die to your heart now

I'll survive though I'll never sleep again
Not tonight, nor the next
When I can't decide, should I turn and face away
Put it all right down to bad luck now

Just one touch but I'm all over the place
I should know it's not allowed
Just one word and I go to pieces
And I ask who needs it?

Blue eyes hard to miss it's no surprise
Make a wish then bow and die to your heart now

I'll survive though I'll never sleep again
Not tonight, nor the next
When I can't decide, should I turn and face away
Put it all right down to bad luck now

Can't decide, who needs it, just a word

So who needs those...
Blue eyes hard to miss it's no surprise
Make that wish then bow and die to your heart now

I'll survive though I'll never sleep again
Not tonight, and not the next
When I can't decide, should I turn and face away
Put it all right down to bad luck now
