1.Better Be Good
You better be good
Or mama will take your freedom away
Your freedom away
You better be good
Or mama will take your freedom away
And you wouldn't
You know it makes sense child
To follow mama's style
She hasn't got it in for us
Growing up just takes a while
Growing up just takes a while
She moulds her puppet, ties on the strings
For the whole wide world to see
She'll drag you down and chain you up
Takes her lifetime to break free
Takes her lifetime to break free
Don't speak, don't think
Don't move, don't breathe
She'll take you down again
You better be good
Or mama will take your freedom away
Your freedom away
You better be good
Or mama will take your freedom away
And you wouldn't like that would you
So what if you're the problem child
You know that mama's always right
Don't you know what's right or wrong
When you're out of mama's sight
When you're out of mama's sight
Now tell her that it's time to leave
And you'll see mama cry
Just walk on right out the door
There's the whole wide world outside
There's the whole wide world outside
Don't speak, don't think
Don't move, don't breathe
She'll take you down again
You better be good
Or mama will take your freedom away
Your freedom away
You better be good
Or mama will take your freedom away
And you wouldn't like that would you
2.By A River
By a river
The colours of the land
Emerge before my eyes
Soothing winds that blow my cares away
Through the trees
Call the priest, his wife, his friends, the police
I had to run away
Leave this all behind
Close your eyes
Wan goodbye, goodbye
I didn't see the point
Couldn't take the load
Drift away
Above me a new day's growing old
Bound by the chains of a crippling debt
Slipping through the dreads of a foolproof net
Run away
Far away
Shaped by the laws of deception and greed
Stamped and rejected I beg to be freed
Lose the key
Lose the key
I had to run away
Leave this all behind
Close your eyes
Wan goodbye, goodbye
I didn't see the point
Couldn't take the load
Drift away
Above me a new day's growing old
By a river
The colours of the land
Emerge before my eyes
Soothing winds that blow my cares away
Through the trees
3.Could Have Been
No time now left to run
Everything's been said or done before
No time now left to change
There's no point in trying at my age
It doesn't matter to me
Breathe in the sky
Breathe in the air
Just feel the breeze run through your hair
And I don't want to think
And I don't want to think
I don't want to think no more
All the things that I could have been
All the places that I might have seen
All the people that I might have met
All the things that I should have said
To you
No time now for regret
If only I could just forget the past
I can but turn and close my eyes
But I know soon I'll close my mind at last
There's nothing else left for me
Memories of war
Memories of pain
Memories of running through the rain
And I don't want to think
And I don't want to think
I don't want to think no more
All the things that I could have been
All the
All the people that I might have met
All the things that I should have said
To you
4.Dream Of Me
Take me with your arms and left me up out of this life
Nightfall embraces me, I rise and find I am here
When I am with you the chains round my heart disappear
Dream of me
Dream of me
I will be there
Calling your name from the shore
The sea was score but the swam out too far and was gone
He thought he heard her voice calling his name in the wind
I will be with you each night when we kiss in your dreams
Dream of me
Dream of me
I will be there
Calling your name from the shore
The first snow of winter is falling out over the sea
Dawn breaks into his dream pulling them gently apart
Left me, forgive me and unlock these chains round my heart
Dream of me
Dream of me
I will be there
Calling your name from the shore
5.Falling
In my ears the wind is screaming
Balling out at eight miles high
You are falling
Through the sky
Through the air
Asking why
Falling to the earth
People point as the seconds tick away
In my head the blood is pounding
Forests drift before my eyes
You are falling
Through the sky
Through the air
Asking why
falling to the earth
People point as the seconds slip away
Ladybird, ladybird fly away home
Your house is on fire and your children are gone
If only you had listened to your heart
In my mind my life is flashing
Pull the cord before you die
You are falling
Through the sky
Through the air
Asking why
falling to the earth
People point as the seconds slip away
Ladybird, ladybird fly away home
Your house is on fire and your children are gone
If only you had listened
To your heart
6.For Mercy
Wrapped in her raincoat
She crosses herself as she walks from the church
Head bent in sorrow
Her life feels so empty she's nowhere to turn
She can't tell her husband
He won't understand
Why his blood is thinner
Nor thicker than sand
Oh Mercy, whatever will become of me
Fourteen days later
Still nobody knows but it's starting to show
Sleep in the armchair
Old Harold gets fatter and ceases to care
She said on that day
That till death do us part
But now she has someone
Who's close to her heart
Oh Mercy, whatever will become of me
Fighting her conscience
Her suitcase is packed and she's ready to leave
Still feeling unsure
The statue of Mary now points to the door
Skipping and smiling
She catches her plane
The child she had longed for
A new home and name
Oh Harold, whatever will become of you
7.Hold Me
It suddenly struck me
When I closed my eyes
Soon I'll be alone
But some say love never dies
You held me close
Right through the storm
You never left me
You just kept me safe and warm
Hold me tonight forever
Hold me and never let go
I think of heaven
Lord I know that you are waiting
I'm going to keep on loving you
I'm feeling lonely
But I know
I want to be with you
But I know fate's never fair
You give me strength
In your darkest day
Why did the angels
Have to take you away
Hold me tonight forever
Hold me and never let go
I think of heaven
Lord I know that you are waiting
I'm going to keep on loving you
I'll hold my head up high
Keep trying not to cry
I'll put the past behind me
Still got my memories
Stories about you and me
And one day we'll be back together
I'm going to keep on loving you
8.Ill Wind Blowin'
If you're walking home past midnight
And you think you're not alone
Take the knife out of your pocket and turn around
And as he steps out of the shadows
And he tries to force you down
Leave him slashed and staring at the ground
There's an ill wind blowin'
Down union street
There's a man in the gutter
No shoes on his feet
And if you think you've found a phonebox
And the coin jams in the slot
You will see me from the corner of your eye
Well there's no one round to hear you
No one to see you die
As you slither down your glass jar like a fly
There's an ill wind blowin'
Down union street
There's a man in the gutter
No shoes on his feet
There's an ill wind blowin'
Down union street
There's a blue light flashing
9.Offertory Song
This is the field
Where hundreds of people
Like poppies are bursting
And marching with pride
Free to stay
Free to fight, to shoot, to kill
This is the field
Where hundreds of people
Are burning like crosses
And turning to ash
Free to go
Free, the hurt, the pain, the blame
Then you saved me from the water
Then you changed me into fire
Leaving tuppence on the plate
You hurry home now don't be late
Ahead you see the daylight fail
Wonder where the time has gone
This place is holy
And this place is empty
No one is praying to Jesus today
Free to choose
Free to win, to draw, to lose
Then you saved me from the water
Then you changed me into fire
Leaving tuppence on the plate
You hurry home now don't be late
Ahead you see the daylight fail
Wonder where the time has gone
10.The House
I don't think that I can stay
In the old house anymore
There's to many memories
Things live there no eyes can see
In the garden there's
No flowers ever grow there
The house is where I live
A place to take but not to give
Close the door
Did you not see the colours
Climbing up the window
Nor hitch a ride with Lucy
To see marshmallow skies
It starts to rain
But i can't find the rainbow
I leave the house
But there's nowhere to go
No one ever seems to call
The house must be too far away
I wish for yesterday
And all the things I had to say
I pack a suitcase and
Lock the door behind me
The house is better left
Without its heart it stands bereft
Turn away
11.The Spell
I went outside today
Left behind the room that was my life
Look at the sky
The sun just laughs and winks at you
Enter the violet woods
Feeling that you have some company
A caterpillar tree's
Wings fold your beating heart
Don't break the spell
Don't ask me when
Or you will never speak again
Open the doors
Inside your mind
Don't be afraid of what you find
Under your bed it is the little people
Who put the fears inside your head
The things you said will be forgotten
As the earth goes turning round inside your head
It spins around, around...
Past the point of no return
You come across a creature being born
A unicorn
You watch it struggle to it's feet
And as you wander free
You step down through the valley to the sea
You're who you want to be
You hear the mermaids call your name
It's hard to breathe
You spiral down
And think that you must savely down
Shake off the dream
Shake off the spell
Or else this tale you'll never tell
Under your bed it is the little people
Who put the fears inside your head
The things you said will be forgotten
As the earth goes turning round inside your head
It spins around, around...
Don't break the spell
Don't ask me when
Or you will never speak again
Open the doors
Inside your mind
Don't be afraid of wha
It's hard to breathe
You spiral down
And think that you must savely down
Shake off the dream
Shake off the spell
Or else this tale you'll never tell
Under your bed it is the little people
Who put the fears inside your head
The things you said will be forgotten
As the earth goes turning round inside your head
It spins around, around...
