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

Perfect Part of Me
05:10
|
|||
Verse 1
Feels like I'm moving slowly
As time is running fast
The lessons that I'm learning
Are lessons from the past
Everybody's living
And they're in each other's arms
I'm waiting for the world to end
She's waiting for a dance
Pre-Chorus 1
Everybody wants to be
What everybody wants
Everybody wants to be yeah yeah...
Verse 2
And daytime doesn't last long
I'm hungry in the night
I'm feeling like a sinner
But I don't believe in Christ
I buy an image of the Buddha
To bring a little peace
I don't want no salvation
Just hoping for release
Pre-Chorus 2
Everybody wants to be
What everybody wants
Everybody wants to be yeah yeah...
Chorus 1
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
Verse 3
So I'm told that you were sent here
Because you feel the same as me
And by sharing our frustration
We might set each other free
But I don't wanna fall for you
And with those hips I might
I'm lonely as I'll ever be
And that's OK tonight
Pre-Chorus 3
Everybody wants to be
What everybody wants
Everybody wants to be yeah yeah...
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 Mr Painter, would you paint my portrait?
Ain't got no money, would you do it for the love of it?
Oh Mr Painter, you must be living the dream,

Don't Look Back
04:03
|
|||
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
I'm in love with you
Still in love with you
And every time I fall to pieces
You build me back again
With your affection
No misdirection
I'm following the sound of your heartbeat
You've got to bring it back to me
Pre-Chorus 1
Ooh maybe just a little touch
Be careful not too much
I guess I better warn you baby

I'm just a slip away from kissing the ground
And I don't want to fall baby fall, fall, fall
Verse 2

And other people say
Every time I fall to pieces
I'm pushing you away
I know we're making
True foundations
I wanna love you like you love me,
You're my stability
Pre-Chorus 2
Ooh maybe just a little touch
Be careful not too much
I guess I better warn you baby
Today I feel like...

Just need a little time to stand up by myself
Don't put me on a pedestal
Don't build me up too tall
Just just enough so I don't feel like...
Chorus 3
Jenga
Please don't knock me down
I'm just a slip away from kissing the ground
And I don't want to fall baby fall, fall, fall
Jenga
Please don't knock me down
I'm just a slip away from kissing the ground
And I don't want to fall baby fall, fall, fall

Cos it would take too long to find another
You're settled in your way (settled in your way)
And the universe ain't that kind

Jaded Nights
04:47
|
|||
Verse 1
Jaded nights never quite worked out how we planned
Jaded life never properly learned how to stand
So shade the light when other hearts are involved
Cos black and white so unsettling, and grey can melt the mold
Pre-Chorus 1
Trying to be good's got me broken down
Don't know how to act this time around
We're never as close as I wanna be
And I love you too much to let the whole world see
I won't let you go...I'm never gonna let you go
Chorus 1
These rights to life that I do not own, just tear them up
To try to smile or feel worthwhile is not enough
If anyone was listening, I'd pray for a kiss
But you're my goddess these days, and you will never hear this
Verse 2
Strangers might make out to be the perfect friends
Never known, no no baby, who to trust until you make a mends
Oh, so cop a fight, the fascination lies in the struggle
And coppers might (yeah, and you know they will) cos there ain't no laws allowed where there's hustle
So listen...
Pre-Chorus 2
Trying to be good's got me broken down
Don't know how to act this time around
We're never as close as I wanna be
And I love you too much to let the whole world see
I won't let you go...I'm never gonna let you go
Chorus 2
These rights to life that I do not own, just tear them up
To try to smile or feel worthwhile is not enough
If anyone was listening, I'd pray for a kiss
But you're my goddess these days, and you will never hear this
These rights to life that I do not own, just tear them up
To try to smile or feel worthwhile is not enough
If anyone was listening, I'd pray for a kiss
Cos you're my goddess these days, and you will never hear this
Outro
Jaded nights...jaded nights

Fold Me Up
04:07
|
|||
Verse 1
Fold me up in a box under the stairs
Fold me up with my knees around my ears
You might wonder why I'm trying to hide
I'm not hiding I'm just biding my time
Fold me up put me under your skin
Fold me up between your collar and your chin
You might wonder why I'm scared again
I'm not scared I'm just deliberating
Chorus 1
Ain't it true
I never have to speak with you
When I do
Quiet is the love we fall to
Verse 2
Don't tie me down to a life that we both know
Don't tie me down at all my wings have grown
You might think you'll change my world tonight
I won't change but I'll still be alright
Chorus 2
Ain't it true
I never have to lie with you
When I do
Heavy is the love we fall to
Middle 8
Ooh carry me
But let my feet do all the work
Ooh carry me
But let my feet do all the work
Ooh carry me
But let my feet do all the work
Ooh carry me
But let my feet do all the work
Verse 3
So lift me up into the night
Lift me up and let me float just like a kite
You might wonder why I'm trying to run away
I'm not running I'm just tired of today
Chorus 3
Ain't it true
I never have fly with you
When I do
Heaven is the love we fall to
Ain't it true
I never have to fly with you
When I do
Heaven is the love we fall to

That's Alright
05:59
|
|||
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?
Chorus 2
If I made you laugh, if I made you laugh
That's alright now, that's alright now
But if I made you cry, if I made you cry
Let's not fight now, it'll be alright cos the only one I want, the only one I want, is you...
Middle 8
And I went to the place that we once lived in
Remember the place where your friends were
And I went to the phone box outside our room
And I called you, just wanting to hold you
If nothing's wrong, what has changed?
I know that it was long ago, but even so
I'll find a place where we can be rearranged
Outro
That's alright...that's alright...that's alright with me
That's alright...that's alright....that's alright with me
That's alright...that's alright...that's alright with me
That's alright...that's alright....that's alright with me
That's alright...that's alright...that's alright with me
That's alright...that's alright....that's alright with me
