Out Of My Life 02:49
lyrics

You were all that I needed to Make everything complete And for a moment it all fell into place But I had to have one more try At being one of the guys Now the dream has gone without any trace Every second I feel lonely Every minute brings some pain Happy hour will always find me standing here again Every time I wake up There’s a pounding in my head Playing every word you said before goodbye I just can’t seem to shake off What I saw the other day As you turned and walked away Out of my life Every second I feel lonely Every minute brings some pain Happy hour you’ll always find me standing here again Every time I wake up There’s a pounding in my head Playing every word you said before goodbye I just can’t seem to shake off What I saw the other day As you turned and walked away Out of my life

Just When I Thought 04:16
lyrics

Just when I thought that it wasn’t for me Resigned to the fact it was never to be I carried on blindly In the hope that I’d find something else Something that I could just concentrate on But really not miss if the next day it’s gone To keep me amused Without letting it under my skin But oh what a sin It would have been If you’d walked on by While I kept both my eyes on the ground How could I miss? A treasure like this All my bridges were burned Until you came and turned it around Just when I thought that it wasn’t for me Resigned to the fact it was never to be I carried on blindly In the hope that I’d find something else But oh what a sin It would have been If you’d walked on by While I kept both my eyes on the ground How could I miss? A treasure like this All my bridges were burned Until you came and turned it around

This Hasn't Been His Day 03:29
lyrics
buy track
Well he’s afraid of his own reflection He’s afraid just to give it a try If there’s a chance that it couldn’t be certain He’s gonna let it pass by Because the last thing he needs is another Dream that blows up before it begins Though he laughs when he tells you about it The joke’s worn past thin But he likes to think that someday He’ll be handed on a plate All the goods in store he’s worked so hard for I hope it’s not too late Though he knows that there has never been A better time to cause a scene He’ll step right back and say This hasn’t been his day And he waits around for firmer ground Then tip-toes when he hears the sound Of his heart beating faster than the rain That falls into the fire again Well he’s afraid of his own perception Of what he can and he couldn’t do So he’ll look for another direction Just in case it falls through

Missy's Eyes 03:07
lyrics
buy track
She looks through a door that is no longer there And talks to someone at the foot of the stairs She’s never been before And this hasn’t been a door For so many years She asks to be through and she’s so sure she can There’s something about it that she understands Her patience is wearing thin As she’s tuning in to another side So what goes on inside that head? I’m looking where her gaze is led But I won’t get past the amazing disguise Unless I can see through Missy’s eyes She looks through a door that is no longer there And talks to someone at the foot of the stairs She’s never been before And this hasn’t been a door For so many years So what goes on inside that head? I’m looking where her gaze is led But I won’t get past the amazing disguise Unless I can see through Missy’s eyes (Repeat)

What Are You Gonna Do? 01:10
lyrics
buy track
Well you can say you’re sorry And that makes it okay The pain and the frustration Will all fade away And we’ll go back to where we were Before we even met Then I can forgive And you can forget Hey it’s so easy I’ll just count to ten Why don’t we do it all again Well I had tunnel vision The part I couldn’t see Was the blurriest perception Of the way you felt for me One day it all will happen To someone else it’s true They’ll have it all to go through The way I did with you But where is this gonna lead you With a heart that’s turned to stone You’ll be wandering alone So what are you gonna do When nobody wants you to Be anything more than just one night And what are you gonna say When everyone turns away And there’s no one around to make it right INSTRUMENTAL But where is this gonna lead you With a heart that’s turned to stone You’ll be wandering alone So what are you gonna do When nobody wants you to Be anything more than just one night And what are you gonna say When everyone turns away And there’s no one around to make it right

Guise Of Conservation 05:46
lyrics
buy track
I’ve got so much time on my hands Need something to do to fill in my day I’ve got so much money and land And I’ve always dreamed of being this way I’ve got so much inside of my brain That I don’t want to waste on something mundane I’ve got so much living to do If it makes me happy I’ll take it from you This is what it’s all about I’m sending out an invitation We all know it justifies Under the guise of conservation Little bird up in the sky So many of you it won’t matter I’ve got others who follow my path They may not agree but I’m all that they have I’ve got visions that the blood lust will reign And we’ll be full on for the killing again I get angry when you tell the truth And I have to make do with some lame excuse But I’m gonna take all these lies to my grave Unlike you it’s not conscience I crave This is what it’s all about I’m sending out an invitation We all know it justifies Under the guise of conservation Little creature on the run We’ll have our fun and it won’t matter

Any Other Way 03:31
lyrics
buy track
So it’s another day The best that I can say I hope it will be better than the last Let’s put it all behind And hope that we will find Some treasure in the wreckage from the blast Into the fire our dreams are hurled It’s you and me against the world But I won’t stray Any other way That catalogue of shit We never asked for it But in the end we got it any way It seems that every time We’re in the firing line They’ll shoot us down no matter what we say Into the fire our dreams are hurled It’s you and me against the world But I won’t stray Any other way What’s all this I’m hearing About lack of self control? Even saints and martyrs Had their moments so I’m told Don’t look so surprised Because today I’m seeing red I can’t believe you’re saying Was it something that I said?

You Threw It All Away 03:03
lyrics
buy track
Well you’ve really messed it up this time And the punishment will fit the crime All you had will soon be mine You threw it all away She is the one you must have known For me that is and not your own What you tried to hide has now been shown And she’s never gonna stay So if you don’t want to treat her In the way that she deserves Just hang around until I show you one that will And when the pain subsides And all her tears have dried She’ll see the funny side of your deceit When she’s on her feet again I’m gonna walk right in To hold her close again And we’ll remember how it was before The day you left your shadow on her door

Something In Rennison's Pies 03:19
lyrics
buy track
I’ve got a pounding in my head Monday morning’s what I dread But I never seem to learn on Sunday night Though I know I’ll never be alone Waiting on the cobble stones For something that I know will put it right I feel I should be saying grace Before that juice runs down my face And I begin to feel alive again Is it in the pastry or the meat? Or when the gravy runs from underneath? That miracle relief from all the pain I’m saying goodbye once more To the day after feeling From a good night before Yes I’m feeling better but it’s no surprise ’Cause there’s something in Rennison’s pies Well all good things and all that stuff Just never seems to be enough And 1991 saw its demise What one man couldn’t bear to see Made him buy a batch to freeze And two remain for all posterity One day this gastronomic prize May be dissected and analised To learn the secret recipe again There are a few on special days Who get to see them on display Recalling happy memories again I’m saying goodbye once more To the day after feeling From a good night before Yes I’m feeling better but it’s no surprise ’Cause there’s something in Rennison’s pies

Without Wheels 04:23
lyrics
buy track
Well it seems we’ll have to land Not quite the way we planned There’ll be a lot of friction I would say The passengers I’ve learned Are not overly concerned But I’ll say this with conviction anyway Manoeuvres of this kind I must have practiced a thousand times The press have all come down To watch us touch the ground The whole world holds its breath and says a prayer Though I have got the feel For landing without wheels The sparks will soon be flying under there We’ll bring this back to base With fire engines out just in case This has been an endless flight I hope we’ll make it home tonight Coming round for one last time It’s now or never baby hold on tight As level as we could We made the landing good The passengers they hardly felt a thing A pressman in his wit He made some light of it Said next time you could do it without wings This fame I have to say Could have come in a better way This has been an endless flight I think we’ll make it home tonight Coming down in our own time Until tomorrow baby hold on tight

Right Back At You 03:07
lyrics
buy track
You said it I let it Get the better of me You made me believe it And I couldn’t see You planned it Underhanded Just for bringing me down Tomorrow it’s over ’Cause I won’t be around Sometimes it seemed You only lived to make me lose my cool Put on a show for all your friends As they watched you play the fool Now that it’s done You’ll be the only one who knows How much it hurts Knowing you’ve done your best to be alone The finger you used To show the accused Is pointing right back at you You think it’s a big disguise But everybody knows When all that you do belies The things you say that you believe The only one is you who’s been deceived Sometimes it seemed You only lived to make me lose my cool Put on a show for all your friends As they watched you play the fool Now that it’s done You’ll be the only one who knows How much it hurts Knowing you’ve done your best to be alone The finger you used To show the accused Is pointing right back at you
