Looking through foggy memories
It’s hard to see the wood from the trees
But everybody has certain needs
And sometimes you’ve got to do as you please
But you used to come along you used to come along
Cause divided we are weak and together we are strong
You used to come along, used to come along
Times could be tough but life was fun yeah
And in my dreams I’m falling
And by the fireside your snoring
The kids are all tucked up in bed
And Mum and Dad are off their heads
But It doesn’t have to be how it all ends
We used to travel wide, used to travel far
Down by the sea, up upon the Moor
We used to find our way by the moon and the stars
So how come you don’t come any more
You used to come along, used to come along
For the singing of the songs, banging of the drum
You used to come along, used to come along
Cause divided we are weak but together we are strong yeah
And in my dreams I’m falling
And by the fireside your snoring
The kids are all tucked up in bed
And Mum and Dad are off their heads
But It doesn’t have to be how it all ends
Used to come along, used to come along
You used to come along, used to come along
You used to come along, used to come along
You used to come along, used to come along
You used to come along, used to come along
You used to come along, used to come along
You used to come along, used to come along
For the singing of the song, banging of a drum
And in my dreams I’m falling
And by the fireside your snoring
The kids are all tucked up in bed
And Mum and Dad are off their heads
But It doesn’t have to be how it all ends

See them come
See them go
All the time their waiting
Standing in the wings
Looking on anticipating
It's the money that they want
All the misfits and the wasters
Here they come again and again
The pound note chasers
So now that it's all over
What did you make of it
Was it worth all the pain and suffering
And wallowing in shit
'cause bringing home the bacon
'til your body's tied and broken
You can expect no sympathy
So just get on with it
But I'm the captain of an army
Of misfits and wasters
A foreign legion of rejects
And pound note chasers
Yes I'm the captain of an army
Of misfits and wasters
A foreign legion of rejects
And pound note chasers

Life is so short for everyone - never mind
What might have been it's what you've seen - what you've done
Life is so short for everyone get out there and have some fun
Life is so short for everyone - never mind
What might have been it's what you've seen - what you've done
Life is so short for everyone get out there and have some fun
Doing nothing feeling busy, took the baffles out of my FS1E
Now I'm feeling kind of dizzy, ‘cos the fizz is in my brain
Take a journey turn a corner, run a mile and run the gauntlet
You will have to get there soon, or you will never be the same
Get a job and feel securer get a family get a future
Does it pay well does it suit you, does it help to ease the pain
Make a packet, make a racket, If you really cannot hack it
You will have to try and smack it, or it will drive you quite insane
Life is so short for everyone - never mind
What might have been it's what you've seen - what you've done
Life is so short for everyone get out there and have some fun
Life is so short for everyone - never mind
What might have been it's what you've seen - what you've done
Life is so short for everyone get out there and have some fun
Angel, Old Street, Moorgate, Bank
You know I'm heading to the City for the Square Mile Skank
Got my suits, got my boots got my Tupperware lunch-box
I'm clocking in and out with a mechanical tick-tock
I'm down in the tube station 6:30 in the morning
There's no smell of brown leather just the scent of money calling
Move your feet to the street and don't worry about the Base-Line
Are you searching for adventure or just running for a train
Life is so short for everyone - never mind
What might have been it's what you've seen - what you've done
Life is so short for everyone get out there and have some fun
Life is so short for everyone - never mind
What might have been it's what you've seen - what you've done
Life is so short for everyone get out there and have some fun
Doing nothing feeling busy took the baffles out of my FS1E
Now I'm feeling kind of dizzy, ‘cos the fizz is in my brain
Fizz is in my brain, fizz is in my brain, fizz is in my............
Life is so short for everyone - never mind
What might have been it's what you've seen - what you've done
Life is so short for everyone get out there and have some fun
Life is so short for everyone - never mind
What might have been it's what you've seen - what you've done
Life is so short for everyone get out there and have some fun

20 Years
It’s been twenty years now since I wrote this song
But how many years now since you’ve been gone
Now I walk these hills in the same footsteps
Trying to work out now where I belong
I’ve got the battle scars of life and death weighing me down
But I must keep on being strong
But when I was a child I enjoyed myself
I never had to worry about my personal wealth oh no
But now I’m older and I can see what a stupid boy I used to be
It doesn’t bother me
Oh please believe me
If you still need me
He’s a southern boy from a western town
He’s got a bird’s eye view of the world around
Years ago I thought he’d drowned
He was lost but now he’s been re-found
He never used to do what he ought to
But he’s left all that sort of thing to his daughter
But when I was a child I enjoyed myself
I never had to worry about my mental health oh no
And now I’m older and I can see what a stupid boy I used to be
It doesn’t bother me
Oh please believe me
If you still need me
I’m lying on my back and I’m all alone
Staring up at this old sandstone
I can see the moves I can see the holds
Hope I get up now before I get too old
I see the things I’ve done I see the things to come
I see the rain the wind and the current bun
But when I was a child I enjoyed myself
I never had to worry about my personal wealth oh no
And now I’m older and I can see what a stupid boy I used to be
It doesn’t bother me
Oh please believe me
If you still need me

Cool Current
03:51

There’s a cool cool current in the ocean
Pull pull pulling you to me
And it’s high high time that I was saying
Pull me close and set me free
Because your current it’s so strong
It keeps pulling me along over to you
Because you current it’s so strong
It keeps pulling me along over to you
Over to you
Over to you
Over to you
So won’t you save me from the deep blue yonder
Haul me in and let me breath
Cause I’ve been drifting away over the horizon
With only fish for company
But your current it’s so strong
It keeps pulling me along over to you
Yes your current it’s so strong
It keeps pulling me along over to you
Over to you
Over to you
Over to you
There’s a cool cool current in the ocean
Pull pull pulling you to me
Pull pull pulling you to me
Pull pull pulling you to me

Cometh the hour
Cometh the man
You do what you do
You do what you can
You do what you do
You do what you can
Cometh the hour
Cometh the man
Cometh the hour
Cometh the man
You do what you do
You do what you can
You do what you do
You do what you can
Cometh the hour
Cometh the man
Well there’s no point sitting there just watching television
Are you a man or a mouse or a piece of shit or something
Is there life in your eyes or are you just too busy blinking
Are you reaching for the shore are you swimming are you sinking
Do you care do you care do you care about your waist line
Move your feet feel the beat don’t just dribble to the bass line
Meet your friends face-to-face don’t just ping them off on Face-Time
Do you care do you care do you care at all
Cometh the hour
Cometh the man
You do what you do
You do what you can
You do what you do
You do what you can
Cometh the hour
Cometh the man
Cometh the hour
Cometh the man
You do what you do
You do what you can
You do what you do
You do what you can
Cometh the hour
Cometh the man
If you find yourself stuck between a rock and a hard place
Just wipe that silly grin off man pull on your hard face
Gather up your courage it’s the law of Mother Nature
You really gotta go for it no one’s gonna hate you
Grit your teeth have belief you know you gotta have it in you
Where’s your pride where’s your faith where’s the things your father taught you
Don’t just lie there on your back waiting for the world to call you
Are you there are you there are you there at all
Cometh the hour
Cometh the man
You do what you do
You do what you can
You do what you do
You do what you can
Cometh the hour
Cometh the man
Cometh the hour
Cometh the man
You do what you do
You do what you can
You do what you do
You do what you can
Cometh the hour
Cometh the man

Act Your Age
03:57
|

|
Why don’t you just act your age
And get your hands out of my hair
You’ve been acting kind of strange
And you have not been playing fair
Because you’re the only one I’ve cried for
And you’re the only one I’ve lied for
But you’re gonna break me
When you take my soul and make me bleed
You’re wanna make my life a misery
You’ve got a cold desire that burns with ease
You think the world is yours to do with as you please
Oh you’ve got me on my knees
Your attitude is most sincere
How do you keep such a straight face
When you’ve been lying through your teeth
You must think I don’t see the change
Because you’re the only one I’ve cried for
And you’re the only one I’ve lied for
But you’re gonna break me
When you take my soul and make me bleed
You’re wanna make my life a misery
You’ve got a cold desire that burns with ease
You think the world is yours to do with as you please
Oh you’ve got me on my knees
Because you’re the only one I’ve cried for
And you’re the only one I’ve lied for
But you’re gonna break me
When you take my soul and make me bleed
You’re wanna make my life a misery
You’ve got a cold desire that burns with ease
You think the world is yours to do with as you please
Oh you’ve got me on my knees
Well I’m begging I’m begging I’m begging I’m begging I’m begging you please
Oh you’ve got me on my knees
Yeah I’m begging I’m begging I’m begging I’m begging I’m begging you please
Oh you’ve got me on my knees
Yeah I’m begging I’m begging I’m begging I’m begging I’m begging you please
Oh you’ve got me on my knees

I Didn't Seem To Notice
05:36
|
|||
|
Sometimes when you’re older
And the weight lifts from your shoulder
Do you think about the past and what you did when you were young
Was it always sunshine
Did the laughter last a lifetime
Did the nights go on forever when you fell into her arms
Looking back on good days
Better times better sun rays
Did the summers last forever was there springtime in your step
Or is it just the good bits that you re-run like the repeats
Of your favourite TV programs or the shuffle on your Pod
I didn’t seem to notice
I didn’t seem to notice
I didn’t seem to notice the time
I didn’t seem to notice (the time)
I didn’t seem to notice (the time)
I didn’t seem to notice the time
So how can you be older
When you don’t feel any older
And the only signs of ageing are the laughter lines you pride
Well you’re just like your father
And your father’s dad before him
That’s the way it always will be and there’s nothing wrong with that
Forever seems a long time
Will there ever be a wrong time
Maybe this is not the song I’m trying hard to never write
And when you close your eyes now
Do you get a full reprise now
Is it such a big surprise to fall into this reverie
I didn’t seem to notice
I didn’t seem to notice
I didn’t seem to notice the time
I didn’t seem to notice (the time)
I didn’t seem to notice (the time)
I didn’t seem to notice the time
Flicking through the pages of my memories
I see the times gone by with so much clarity
I know that nothing lasts forever but these feelings I remember
With a different kind of tenderness that’s visceral and effortless
I never knew that things would change forever
I always thought that we were so much better
We never talked about the future or about the weather
We only sang the songs we loved the ones we wrote together
So where were you when things started to change me
Where was all the brotherhood the bonded us so tightly
Was this long ago or was this only yesterday
Am I in a dream or is this my reality
You never told us so we never noticed
Looking back I see the many things you tried to show us
As I grew up I tried to keep myself focused
Dead at 28 you ain’t never getting older
I didn’t seem to notice
I didn’t seem to notice
I didn’t seem to notice the time
I didn’t seem to notice (the time)
I didn’t seem to notice (the time)
I didn’t seem to notice the time
You know they never told us
So I never noticed the time
The time
The time
Come on stand up and show us
Because I never noticed the time
The time
The time

There’s no escaping from this
You say I say what can the matter be
With words like these it’s hard to find clarity
It’s oh so simple just like insanity
So why do we get so bogged down with gravity
But Time
Will take you up and lift you high
The words alone can make you cry
They’ll break your heart or you may die
There’s no escaping from this
Time
The centre-piece to every life
The way we live the way we die
We get along yeah we get by
There’s no escaping from this
Old Wave New Wave Rock ‘n’ Roll vanity
The tunes they don’t rave get lost to humanity
So why wait why pay for solidarity
And they say I crave this popularity
But Time
Will take you up and lift you high
The words alone can make you cry
They’ll break your heart or you may die
There’s no escaping from this
Time
The centre-piece to every life
The way we live the way we die
We get along yeah we get by
There’s no escaping from this
Time
Will take you up and lift you high
The words alone can make you cry
They’ll break your heart or you may die
There’s no escaping from this
Time
The centre-piece to every life
The way we live the way we die
We get along yeah we get by
There’s no escaping from this
Time
Will take you up and lift you high
The words alone can make you cry
They’ll break your heart or you may die
There’s no escaping from this
Time
The centre-piece to every life
The way we live the way we die
We get along yeah we get by
There’s no escaping from this

Stevo

Take me back to Stevo
Now that the spring has come
The trees are all full grown now
And they camouflage the scum
You know that I’ve always loved you
And you know that I always will
Since we met in that concrete bunker
At the bottom of Six Hills
So won’t you take me back
Take me back
Won’t you take me back for good
Because my mind is in the hills
But my body’s in the woods
So won’t you take me back
Take me back
Won’t you take me back for good
Because my mind is in the hills
But my body’s in the woods
You’re dirty and run down now
You never were much good
But I can see your beauty
That’s so rarely understood
You know we should be together
And forget all former ills
Because you know that I’ve always loved you
And you know that I always will
So won’t you take me back
Take me back
Won’t you take me back for good
Because my mind is in the hills
But my body’s in the woods
Oh won’t you take me back
Take me back
Won’t you take me back for good
Because my mind is in the hills
But my body’s in the woods
I know that winters coming
I can feel it in my bones
While the ghosts of Horse and Andy
Still aimlessly they roam
You know that I’ve always loved you
For better or for worse
Loving you forever
Shall be my only curse
So won’t you take me back
Take me back
Won’t you take me back for good
Because my mind is in the hills
But my body’s in the woods
So won’t you take me back
Take me back
Won’t you take me back for good
Because my mind is in the hills
But my body’s in the woods
Oh my mind is in the hills
But my body’s in the woods
