Verse 1 I knew she'd cheat on me with him, with him, with him I knew she'd cheat on me with him, with him, with him But I've been harbouring feelings, feelings, feelings, I've been harbouring feelings for new And I should have never said those things I said to hurt you, to hurt you I should have never said those things I said they weren’t true, they weren’t true, But you've been messing with my head, my head, my head You've been messing with my piece of mind Chorus 1 And it seems so obvious although I never, ever, although I never, ever, Though I never, ever realised in my own time It seems so obvious although I never, ever, although I never, ever, Though I never, ever realised, I know this time, I'll find a way to read the signs... Verse 2 There's nothing on the news but killing, killing, killing Nothing on the news but killing, killing, killing, The weather always bad for us, for us, for us The weather always bad, so full of rain And who know the truth? No-one, no-one, no-one, Who knows the truth? No-one, no-one, no no-one, So what we fighting for? What's there? What's there? What's there? We keep fighting 'till there's nothing left Chorus 2 And it seems so obvious although I never, ever, although I never, ever, Though I never, ever realised in my own time It seems so obvious although I never, ever, although I never, ever, Though I never, ever realised, I know this time, I'll find a way to read the signs... Middle 8 Mistakes we made like scars they fade, we try to change but we're still the same Mistakes we made like stars they fade, we try to change but we're still the same Chorus 3 And it seems so obvious although I never, ever, although I never, ever, Though I never, ever realised in my own time It seems so obvious although I never, ever, although I never, ever, Though I never, ever realised I know this time... Chorus 4 And it seems so obvious although I never, ever, although I never, ever, Though I never, ever realised in my own time It seems so obvious after it's over, I replay it in my mind I know this time, I'll find a way to read the signs

Valentine 03:45
Verse 1 Well I can't see the stars but these lights will do Been looking for love in the city when all I need is you And you've been walking for a minute through the gutter just to hold my hand And the light from the glass on the ground man it's a strange romance Pre-Chorus 1 So let's just stay at home Cos you are all I need This life can be so cold Heat me up Chorus 1 I don't want you as my valentine All I want is that you spend your time with me I don't want to live like you are mine I just want to love you free Please take your time with me Verse 2 Well this buzz from all around is kinda cool But you been hummin' all night like a bee on honey and I feel it too These roses on the bed might set the mood I'm far more fascinated by the way you talk and move Pre-Chorus 2 So let's just stay at home Cos you are all I need This life can be so cold Heat me up Chorus 2 I don't want you as my valentine All I want is that you spend your time with me I don't want to live like you are mine I just want to love you free Please take your time with me Middle 8 There's nothing material in this world that I would put above you No place in the world that we could go to make our love grow stronger You are the only thing I need to feel at home right now Take my hand I'll show you how Chorus 3 I don't want you as my valentine All I want is that you spend your time with me I don't want to live like you are mine I just want to love you free Please take your time with me

Chorus 2 So remember when you're down and out I'll be right there waiting Right there where you left me So remember when you're down and out I'll be right there waiting Trying to find the perfect part So remember when you're down and out I'll be right there waiting Right there where you left me So remember when you're down and out I'll be right there waiting Trying to find the perfect part of me

Red Eyes 03:56
Verse 1 I've been chasing my headlights I've been looking for you all night and all I've found Is another mystery, to be solved But I don't have the time now I don't even know what the time is now Pre-Chorus 1 And all I ever want is to just forget it all I wanna be in control, just wanna be comfortable Chorus 1 Red eyes in the morning More lies in the morning (x2) Verse 2 I've given in to grid love Too many times to think of but all I've found Is I'm not looking for something I'm looking for anything to take my mind off everything Pre-Chorus 2 And all I ever want is to just forget it all I wanna be in control, just wanna be comfortable Chorus 2 Red eyes in the morning More lies in the morning (x2) Middle 8/Rap And I'm waking up alone...together, whatever, wherever I am I seem to see the stormy weather with these red eyes I'm lying on the red eye tonight, won't get no sleep cos my conscience isn't right, Nothing wrong doing I'm just true to my heart, leaving water vapour traces as I skate in the dark, flying further from the fundamental truth of being lonely only easy to forget it when I'm asking you to hold me, wait, Only love show me sentiments from up above. Hesitate and I'm feeling like I'm falling fast, make a pass, make it last, chase a chance to change a heart, you can lead the way girl I'm a sucker for an hour glass, But love never made a mockery of taking time, to tell the truth I'm telling lies to make you mine for tonight only, Hold me solely I'm controlling, you can only know me if I'm leaving in the morning... Pre-Chorus 3 And all I ever want is to just forget it all I wanna be in control, just wanna be comfortable Chorus 3 Red eyes in the morning More lies in the morning (x4)

Oh Miss Teacher you must be living the dream, It must be easy just show them on the screen Pre-Chorus 1 So if you want quality, Why do you expect it all for free? A favour is a mighty thing to ask Of someone you don't know yeah Chorus 1 And we're bending backwards We're bending backwards We're bending backwards We're bending backwards Why you wanna break me? Verse 2 Oh Mr Builder, would you build me a house? We need somewhere to live big enough for all of us, Oh Mr Builder you must be living the dream, Knowing that your day is done when your hands are clean Oh Shopkeeper would you feed my family? It's your responsibility when we all get hungry Oh Shopkeeper are you living the dream? Doing what you love without a day between Pre-Chorus 2 But if you want quality, Why do you expect it all for free? A favour is a mighty thing to ask Of someone you don't know yeah Chorus 2 And we're bending backwards We're bending backwards We're bending backwards We're bending backwards Why you wanna break me? Middle 8 Cos we're used up, bending to breaking point Sho nuff, can't share the cup til it's filled up I don't know why you don't value the beat of my heart Cos we're used up, bending to breaking point Sho nuff, can't share the cup til it's filled up I don't know why you don't value the beat of my heart Chorus 3 We're bending backwards (bending backwards) We're bending backwards (bending backwards) We're bending backwards (bending backwards) We're bending backwards Why you wanna break me?

Verse 1 We were born before the change When people thought that they were living in the real world The heavens were still owned by man And no-one's eyes were open wide enough to see We were born before the change When different times meant different lies in parliament But now we're growing old and grey With bridges burned and ashes blown so far away Chorus 1 Don't look back, don't look back, don't look back baby Hindsight's twenty twenty so they say Don't look back, don't look back, don't look back baby Look forward and look for what you can change Verse 2 We were born before the change When people caused each other poverty and pain Intelligence was still in chains They couldn't see for greed that they were all the same Chorus 2 Don't look back, don't look back, don't look back baby Hindsight's twenty twenty so they say Don't look back, don't look back, don't look back baby Look forward and look for what you can change Middle 8 You'll believe me when you see it (when you see it) Right now just take my word (take my word) I'll see you in the future (in the future) Right here on my planet eart Chorus 3 Don't look back, don't look back, don't look back baby Hindsight's twenty twenty so they say Don't look back, don't look back, don't look back baby Look forward and look for what you can change Verse 3 We were born before the change Skeletons on flags and flags on coffin cases I'm in that windmill on the hill And I write these words to read as changes to my will So don't look back

Verse 1 What if we forgot each other? What if I couldn't recall your name? Wouldn't you have something to say? Or would you be satisfied again? I'll oil the hinges on the door If you move that door wedge from the floor Unhook the shackles from the frame And take down that dartboard from my name Chorus 1 If I made you laugh, if I made you laugh That's alright now, that's alright now If I made you smile, if I made you smile That's alright now, that's alright now Verse 2 Remember the photographs we took We hid them all in that yellow parchment book I still picture you dancing in the rain Oh and does your bedroom, does it still look the same?
