1.My Finest Hour
You're on a holiday
You never wanted
It's nice to get away
This flat is haunted
I made some plans to stay
With those who know me
But now you've made a play
And now you throw me
Into your arms, I have no choice
And in your palms, I have no voice
This is my finest hour
Who's given all this power to me?
This is my finest hour
Though it has all gone sour for me
This is my finest hour
Who's given all this power to me?
There comes a time to make
A big decision
To plan your great escape
With great precision
You always were a fake
And superficial
The lengths that you would take
It's now official
Shout from the roof, and the top of
your voice
You have your proof, and you've made
your choice
This is my finest hour
Who's given all this power to me?
This is my finest hour
Though it has all gone sour for me
This is my finest hour
Who's given all this power to me?
Let's see you without your make-up
And try to clear up this mess
You're crying but all that it takes up
Is both of our unhappiness
This is my finest hour
Who's given all this power to me?
This is my finest hour
Though it has all gone sour for me
This is my finest hour
Who's given all this power to me?
2.The Good Old Days
All those days
Wasting time
We used to spend
Away from each other
And I can't believe it
Could it be the start of something?
Could it be the end of a phase?
Could it be the start of the future?
Could it be the good old days?
Cause lately I have been so down and so lonely
I have been so beaten and blue
I have been so lost and so broken
I have been so nasty to you
Alright!
Alright!
Alright!
Alright!
All those days
Wasting time
We used to spend
Away from each other
And I can't believe it
Could it be the start of something?
Could it be the end of a phase?
Could it be the start of the future?
Could it be the good old days?
Cause lately I have been so down and so lonely
I have been so beaten and blue
I have been so lost and so broken
I have been so nasty to you
Alright!
Alright!
Alright!
Alright!
Could it be the start of something?
Could it be the end of a phase?
Could it be the start of the future?
Could it be the good old days?
Cause lately I have been so down and so lonely
I have been so beaten and blue
I have been so lost and so broken
I have been so nasty to you
Alright!
Alright!
Alright!
Alright!
3.Falling Down
There's a clue
And it leads me to questioning
What a fool I have been
And I've let you in
So let's take some pills
To remind ourselves of the time
It's a cruel, cruel, world
You're a cruel, cruel, girl
But sublime
And I never thought I'd see the day
You'd blow the cobwebs away
Remember when you were my friend
We'd walk to the beat of your drum
To stop ourselves from falling down
From falling down
There's a sign
And it leads me to wondering
What life
Would have been in you'd let me in
And those teenage thrills
Helped us find ourselves at the time
But it's far too late to correct mistakes
So it's fine
And I never thought I'd see the day
You'd blow the cobwebs away
Remember when you were my friend
We'd walk to the beat of your drum
To stop ourselves from falling down
From falling down
So let's raise a glass
With my high school class the last time
It's a cruel, cruel, world
You're a cruel, cruel girl
But you're mine
And I never thought I'd see the day
I'd blow all of you away
Remember when you were my friend
We'd walk to the beat of your drum
To stop ourselves from falling down
From falling down
4.Honey
If you would like me to come home
I will be home before you know
Make me a bed and somewhere I can
Be alone and I can hide
Celebrate all the good that's come
Out of the city and move on
Singing another kind of song
Finding new hooks to hang upon
Why are you always hurting me, honey?
Passing of time is killing me, honey
So long, so long, so long
Shall I say goodbye?
Why are you always cheating me, honey?
Getting kicks in defeating me, honey?
So long, so long, so long
I gave you a try, I need to know why
If you like to tell me why
Several years have passed me by
Yesterday I was young and free
What the hell is happening to me?
Honey says what she wants to say
Nobody can get in her way
I want to get that confidence
It's something that makes perfect sense
Why are you always hurting me, honey?
Passing of time is killing me, honey
So long, so long, so long
Shall I say goodbye
Why are you always cheating me, honey?
Getting kicks in defeating me, honey?
So long, so long, so long
I gave you a try, I need to know why
5.A Hero's Welcome
Throw me a line
Let's steer this to safety together
She says it's fine
But it's only a temporary measure
If you don't say a word
And face the other way
The whole thing is absurd
That's all that I can say
I'm trying to be nice
And this is what I get in return
Will we ever learn?
You could be waiting for some recognition
Hoping for the accolade
Heading for some town where they know
Your name
It is a hopeless and pointless charade
Lets throw a dice
And devise a solution together
If you want my advice
Continue your new life of leisure
If you don't say a word
And face the other way
The whole thing is absurd
That's all that I can say
I'm trying to be nice
And this is what I get in return
Will we ever learn?
You could be waiting for this bus forever
Waiting for the fun to begin
Heading for somewhere you could start again
But your excuses will always wear thin
GUITAR SOLO
Will we ever learn?
You could be waiting for some recognition
Hoping for the accolade
Heading for some town where they know
Your name
It is a hopeless and pointless charade
You could be holding out for celebrations
A party upon your return
But you'll never get a hero's welcome home
And that's just something that you have
To learn
But you'll never get a hero's welcome home
And that's just something that you have
To learn
And you'll never get a hero's welcome home
And that's just something that you have
To learn
6.A Year Since Last Summer
Always on the phone to my old friends
They're always calling me, oh no
That photograph is fading now
A year since last summer
It's every time I turn my head
I was your other, that's what you said
Always on the phone to my old friends
They're always calling me, oh no
That photograph is fading now
A year since last summer
It's every time I turn my head
I was your other, that's what you said
Always on the phone to my old friends
They're always calling me, oh no
That photograph is fading now
A year since last summer
It's every time I turn my head
I was your other
That's what you said
7.An Unwelcome Guest
Listen to the words
Come out of my mouth
I'm leaving this place
And moving down south
This time
It's a new way of life
I haven't got much hope
It's gone beyond a joke
I find I live my life in a daydream
A reverie
A constant stream
Would you like to extend your hand
And help a man who can't understand?
Why everyone is leaving the nest
I'm feeling like an unwelcome guest
Help me find a way to get what I need
I need to be strong and I want to succeed
This time
It's a new way of life
I haven't got much hope
It's gone beyond a joke
I find I live my life on the outside
Looking in
I have my pride
Would you like to extend your hand
And help a man who can't understand?
Why everyone is leaving the nest
I'm feeling like an unwelcome guest
And all my friends have drifted apart
It's time for their excuses to start
Now everyone is flying the nest
I'm feeling like an unwelcome guest
8.Running Low
Staring down the lens
And making a sense of a call
Wearing down my friends
With the suspense of it all
I guess it helps to bring a coat
In case it rains
Walking through the park
Until its dark and cold
Will I make my mark
Before I do what I'm told?
I guess it helps to have
A back up plan in case
Running low
On happy times
And funny things
We say to each other
Running low
On our supplies
And to my surprise
We do need each other
Whatever the weather
I guess it pays to have some things
Saved up my sleeve
Running low
On happy times
And funny things
We say to each other
Running low
On our supplies
And to my surprise
We do need each other
Whatever the weather
You will never catch me
Whatever the weather
Running low
On our supplies
And to my surprise
We do need each other
Time to go
And make my escape
And hide away
And stay undercover
Whatever the weather
9.Nothing Left (To Say)
There's an innocence you see
Of not knowing much of tomorrow
And the places that we'll be
Sounds so hollow
And I want to catch this train
Just to see where it might take me
And I'm burning up again
Will you follow?
There's nothing left to say
I've said my piece, OK
You've gone too far this time
And you've drank far too much wine, again
I'd never let you down
Even though you've let me down
There's nothing left to say
I've said my piece, OK
You've gone too far this time
And you've drank far too much wine, again
I'd never let you down
Even though you've let me down
There's a world out there for me
I can meet you there by tomorrow
With some time to spare you see
Will you follow?
There's nothing left to say
I've said my piece, OK
You've gone too far this time
And you've drank far too much wine, again
I'd never let you down
Even though you've let me down
So say the words
That mean the most to you
You'll probably get them wrong
You can see them in your head
And you can hear them read
Like they're supposed to sound
The other way around to me
There's nothing left to say
I've said my piece, OK
You've gone too far this time
And you've drank far too much wine, again
I'd never let you down
Even though you've let me down
We'll fall in love again
I'll find someone
And then she'll occupy my time
So we'll draw another line, again
Under the whole affair
10.Famous Last Words
So it goes
You have one last throw
Of the dice now
It's your go
Don't be shy
You have one more try
Til it's gone now
Passed you by
Til you've failed
Then you've never tried
It's your time now
To decide
So it goes
You have one last throw
Of the dice now
It's your go
Don't be shy
It's a waste of time
Grab your spotlight
Don't you hide
11.The Conversation
Something is coming
Got to keep running
Trying new methods
Got to keep my breath up now
So I understand what I've done
Grab onto something
Keep it all going
Try a new focus
In the name of progress
You cannot understand what I've done
It's a funny affair
Trying to address the people
That you don't care about anymore
When the future's banging on
The door
It's a funny idea
Trying to caress the people
That you don't care about anymore
Is it simpler to ignore?
Is there something new that I could bring
To the conversation or something?
I don't want to fall in love
I just want to rise above
Is there something new that I could bring
To the conversation or something?
I don't want to fall in love
I just want to rise above
Something is coming
Got to keep running
Trying new methods
Got to keep my breath up now
So I understand what I've done
It's a funny affair
Trying to address the people
That you don't care about anymore
When the future's banging on
The door
It's a funny idea
Trying to caress the people
That you don't care about
When you're low
And there's nowhere left for you to go
Is there something new that I could bring
To the conversation or something?
I don't want to fall in love
I just want to rise above
Is there something new that I could bring
To the conversation or something?
I don't want to fall in love
I just want to rise above
Is there something new that I could bring
To the conversation or something?
I don't want to fall in love
I don't want to fall in love
Is there something new that I could bring
To the conversation or something?
I don't want to fall in love
No no no...
Is there something new that I could
Bring to the table and another thing
I just want to rise above
Is there something new that I could bring
To the conversation or something?
I don't want to fall in love
I just want to rise above
Something is coming
Got to keep running
