Fading Man
04:16
|
|||
A man looks out from a sea of faces
An outstretched hand but no one takes it
A desperate plea from a feeble voice
The mouth moves but it's talking to itself
Night, night, endless night
And there remains
An ever fading light
Cacophonies of good advice
Of wishings well and sorry smiles
The words have lost all meaning now
A desperate man talks to himself again
Night, night, endless night
And so remains
An ever fading light

Quiet Frustrations
04:07
|
|||
The newspapers sing of the mess that we're in
I’m not really sure its important to me
A warning is there in the books that I read
Please will somebody tell me what I'm really meant to feel
Eternally grateful that I have a voice
That I get a say and that I get a choice
But what does it matter and what does it mean?
When you don’t even know what it is that you really need
Quiet frustrations I carry all day
A sickening feeling that won't go away
I don’t have the words to express what I want to say
The joke has been lost and the irony’s dead
I champion truth but it hangs by a thread
The world I have known until now has been turned on its head
I gather my worries and cart them around
One day I'll finally write them all down
I'll muster the courage sometime but for now
I feel such a fool, too embarrassed to say them out loud
Quiet frustrations I carry all day
A sickening feeling that won't go away
I don’t have the words to express what I want to say
A nervous exhaustion I can’t seem to shake
I fight it for all of the difference it makes
I’m hoping against all hope that I've got what it takes
Quiet frustrations I carry all day
A sickening feeling that won't go away
I don’t have the words to express what I want to say
Suspended with nothing to cushion the blow
Worked half to death but with nothing to show
These quiet frustrations are all that I'll ever know

Frozen Lake
06:09
|
|||
Nothing, nothing can change
Washed away in seas of grey
Stuck here in a maze
Struggling to see a change of days
But neither asleep or awake
Left here in this frozen lake
Neither asleep or awake
Stranded in this frozen lake
Nothing can bother me
Those turquoise eyes will always see
Lost here in the sand
The little bastard has tied my hands
But neither asleep or awake
Left here in this frozen lake
Neither asleep or awake
Stranded in this frozen lake
I’m coming home, coming home, home
I’m coming home, coming home, home

Lessons Not Learned
04:27
|
|||
The goals will move themselves around
The rules will change again
And all is not all that it seems
The walls are closing in
The best of times, the worst of times
A nameless, shapeless fear.
They're taking us for fools you know
The brave new world is here
Where once you stood you'll stand no more
You'll dare not speak your mind
History books rewrite themselves
Before your very eyes
The plans are not for you to know
Just sow and you shall reap
And put your faith in greater things
The lord your soul to keep
Where once you stood you'll stand no more
You'll dare not speak your mind
History books rewrite themselves
Before your very eyes
And when the camera's zooming in
The cracks begin to show
But while the lens distorts and distracts
How will we ever learn?

Our Histories
05:04
|
|||
A grand idea, an evil plan
A ruse, a joke, a farce, a scam
There’ll be no coming back from this
A blight on all our histories
Another fine old mess we’re in.
While some among us live like kings
The rest do what we’re told to do
The many gladly serve the few
And now, here they are,
There for us, haven’t we come so far?
Heads held high, standing tall,
Unashamed and happy to lose it all
And so we find ourselves again
In rows of ordinary men
They take their bows, depart the scene
And disappear unheard, unseen
But for now, here they are
There for us, oh how we’ve come so far
Heads held high, standing tall
Undeterred and ready to lose it all
Your glorious experiment
Made enemies of peaceful men
And while one day their scars will fade
You’ll hang for all those grave mistakes you made

Now That You Know
05:16
|
|||
Listen darling it’s not enough
Listen darling I’m setting you free
I’m looking for some darker stuff
Listen darling it’s you not me
I’m sorry sweetheart but it’s time to go
I’m sorry sweetheart, it’s your ‘nine to five’
I’m not the person you think you know
I’m sorry sweetheart but I’m barely alive
And now that you know
I’ll drown you in my sea
Now that you know
I’ll leave you here, hanging from my tree
Forgive me angel but my hands are tied
Forgive me angel but the air is thin
This growing hunger I just can’t hide
Forgive me angel but I’m full of sin
Now goodbye my love, it’s best if we don’t call
Goodbye my love, I find I just don’t care
That dirty face pressed against my wall
Goodbye my love, it’s more than I can bear
And now that you know
I’ll drown you in my sea
Now that you know
I’ll leave you here, hanging from my tree
It’s over now, the light has faded fast
It’s over now, let’s think of ‘if’ not ‘when’
I’d love to stay but it just won’t last
It’s over now, she’s going to go again
And now that you know
I’ll drown you in my sea
Now that you know
I’ll leave you here
Now that you know
Now that you know
Now that you know
Now that you know
Now that you know

Out Of All Proportion
04:48
|
|||
What happens when the time runs out?
What happens when it's gone?
Who's to say how things turn out?
Will I feel it when it's done?
I got it out of proportion
Couldn't see the wood for the trees
Couldn't make out the beauty
That was there in front of me
Your trembling hand in mine
If we survive, or if we die
You jump, you know I follow you
In the blinking of an eye
It’s flying by too fast now
We’re growing up, we’re growing old
We’ll have to find our own way out
Under a cloud that isn’t gold
I got it out of proportion
Couldn't see the wood for the trees
Couldn't make out the beauty
That was there in front of me
There in front of me
I got it out of proportion
Couldn't see the wood for the trees
Couldn't make out the beauty
That was there in front of me

Your Secret Self
04:09
|
|||
The moment that you lose control
The moment that it all takes over you
It's not your fault.
Loosen your grip
Just open up.
Let it flow over you.
Wind in your hair
Cobwebs away
You'll wonder why you waited all this time
It’s what you want
It’s what you want
Your secret self
The life you almost had
I get it now
I understand
Just one more chance
Next time i’ll get it right
Your just desserts
So go ahead
It’s there for you
What are you waiting for?
Wind in your hair
Cobwebs away
You'll wonder why you waited all this time
It’s what you want
It’s what you want
Your secret self
The life you almost had
There it is
There it is
I can see
Now I see everything
There it is
There it is
I see it now
I see perfectly
I see perfectly

Underpass Song
02:34
|
|||
Train arrives late on a cold Leicester morning
I'm shielding my face as the snowflakes are falling
I'm out of the station, the city is singing
The subway's alive, the harmonies shimmer
I slide down the slope to the music and shelter
From snow as it spirals and winds helta-skelta
Anonymous, beautiful sound ricochets
Jeff Buckley's alive and he's singing today
I’m late now for work and the music is fading
I fly over people and litter and paving
I’m into the office all shaking and sodden
The work has begun, the music's forgotten

The Introvert
05:41
|
|||
Hides behind his friends
Keeps himself to himself
No one will bother him
Tries not to offend
Keeps walking straight ahead
Waits for the world to come to him
Turns left instead of right
Waits in silence at the lights
Knows what's required of him tonight
Waste away, just hide your light
Waste away, become the night
Takes his foot off the brakes
Keeps staring straight ahead
Nothingness is preferable to grey
