Dive In 03:02
lyrics
Dive in Finding things about each other You think you need to know Is kind of necessary for you at the start Looking forward to the future Seeing where it’s heading Hoping neither one has a change of heart But I think when you really want to get to know each other You just have to dive right in Its not a case of black and white A case of right or wrong, But to try and see each others point of view To look at all the important things That you really need to know And to find out your favourite Disney movie to If I was to ask you do you trust me Like Jasmine in Aladdin? I wonder would you dive right in You worry about if you will get bored You worry that we will have nothing left to talk about Darling we have only just scratched the surface. There’s so much more for us to understand That 3am conversation that started this whole thing off The words that I am so glad that I said I promise that we will take the trips We talked about With the fireside and the four poster bed Let’s look forward don’t look back Say “no worries” too Come on baby dive right in

Garden of Stones 03:28
lyrics
My ears are burning as I predict your mime Centrefold gossip column gibberish between the lines Backed up along the Jubilee Line Trampy indie boy, down to his last rhyme You better pipe downn open the window, get loose off your selfish game Don't know how i became the man in the middle I will reign, I will reign. Step back, out of the shadows A garden of stones waits for you Lay down stare at the skies 7 of them, we gotta get it right You better pipe downn open the window, get loose off your selfish game Don't know how i became the man in the middle I will reign, I will reign. The black cape is taking your hand God know's you've been a greedy man You never listen to wise old me Head to the ground get on your knees You better pipe downn open the window, get loose off your selfish game Don't know how i became the man in the middle I will reign, I will reign.

Comfortably Numb 02:31
lyrics
Free at last what does it Mean to be free Looking round at these four walls Staring back at me Money can't buy happyness All You need is Love From the floor here where you left me That doesnt seem enough Now I'm feeling comfortably numb It's a true sense of self loathing when all is said and done Now I'm feeling comfortably numb My life it should be over but it's only just begun You'll never understand the hurt you did to me You'll never know the damage that you've caused One day i'll manage To forgive you But I'll never forget What you've done Now I'm feeling comfortably numb It's a true sense of self loathing when all is said and done Now I'm feeling comfortably numb My life it should be over but it's only just begun
4.
Jekyll and Hyde 02:16
lyrics
Which you am I talking to Will I be wrong or right It's like jekyll and Hyde in feminine form And I've just run out of fight It's not me it's you It's not me it's you No matter how hard you try to convince me It's not me it's you I'm done with the arguments Can't shout any more But you keep knocking down my defences Leave me down here on the floor It's not me it's you It's not me it's you No matter how hard you try to convince me It's not me it's you We'll go back to where we started Try to start again But it will all end up the same way I want to get off this train I want to get off this train It's not me it's you It's not me it's you No matter how hard you try to convince me It's not me it's you

Heart Tardis 02:54
lyrics
Two worlds collide, Rock n Roll Spies At the window, Ghosts of shadows, Give me this, give me this, give me this, give me this, give me this, Judas kiss, lemon bliss, heart tardis, give me this You're miles away, and i can't help wandering To the other side of the bar, where shines a bright star Im in love, and I didnt feel I could control it My heart tardis is leaving tomorrow, but yesterdays another day Three hearts collide, Rock n souls fly At the window lies a teddy bear, now i know its safe Give me this, give me this, give me this, give me this, give me this, Judas kiss, lemon bliss, heart tardis, give me this You're miles away, and i can't help wandering To the other side of the bar, where shines a bright star Im in love, and I didnt feel I could control it My heart tardis is leaving tomorrow, but yesterdays another day ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh but yesterdays another day x4

Gaslight 02:40
lyrics
It never made much sense til after The eggshells I'd been walking on I was never right about much You said I thought I was never wrong I didn't know what a mess we had made I never wanted to fight. But it's hard to see anything under your gaslight. I stuck around much longer Much longer than I thought I should The price that I paid was to high But its never been enough for you I didn't know what a mess we had made I never wanted to fight. But it's hard to see anything under your gaslight. Twenty-four seven Three sixty five Five years later How do I survive Twenty-four seven Three sixty five Five years later I know I'm alive I didn't know what a mess we had made I never wanted to fight. But it's hard to see anything under your gaslight. I'm not angry

Red Wine Mystery 02:18
lyrics
Heartbreak Headache Enough to make the earth quake Never knowing What is here This is what ive grown to fear I want to climb inside Your red wine mystery Tomorrow is history Give me another day To see the world before my eyes Reality is my disguise Moving out Coming in Another day my world begins You want to feel My pain There is nothing left to fear I want to climb inside Your red wine mystery Tomorrow is history Give me another day To see the world before my eyes Reality is my disguise You don’t know me On the inside Im now two men Hiding my lies I want to climb inside Your red wine mystery Tomorrow is history Give me another day To see the world before my eyes Reality is my disguise I want to climb inside Your red wine mystery Tomorrow is history Give me another day To see the world before my eyes Reality is my disguise

Portraiture 01:50
lyrics
I don't care about the problems on your family tree The pruning that you should have done doesn't matter to me I am done with the arguments that I don't particularly see But hear about, on a day to day basis I have tried to be compassionate in every way But the empathy runs out after a couple of days It is more about the things I know that you don't say That are the cause of all our problems Because I know you have told them I'm the one to blame And that I should be sorry for not playing the relationship game But I know that if they knew the truth they would feel the same That it's you, not me despite your protestations So I finish this little rant with one final verse And the conversations we should have had I have tried to rehearse But I know that I have made things so much worse And now I walk away and say goodbye I won't think about you I won't start to cry And I know that this rhyming scheme is why You'll hate this song. Not what you've done
9.
PoF 03:18
lyrics
Do people even go on real dates anymore It's just one night stands and hook-ups an unromantic revolving door And there is only one way I will settle this score By taking you out on a date Its all this left right swiping and plenty of fish dating sites And the people that you find on there just aren't right They only want to come and sleep with you only stay for the night So come on let's go out for a date I know that I am hopeless A romantic man at best But I hope to be still that beating heart Right inside your chest And I know that you could have Your pick of any man But I want to be the one you choose So if this song doesn't hit the spot I guess I'll have to say that I really think that romance is dead, anyway But let's not just screw our lives up and throw it all away Give me a chance let's go for a date Come on give me a chance let's go for a date.

Soft 02:30
lyrics
No guilt in my conscience No sign of regret The walls were already closing in before we met And the struggles I've been facing I no longer face alone So I thank you, I thank you The muse has finally landed Now the anchors flown the coup And the millstone round my neck has disappeared And I know that you will tell me That you don't know what you've done But you've saved me, you saved me And the words keep pouring out into my head And the songs just write themselves, it's the only way I can express Just to tell you how I really feel is a privilege Something that I know that I can't miss. So the only way to finish Is to say it clear How grateful I am you here with me You'll never understand The depth of my feeling But maybe one day you will see.
