Flying 03:21
flying I sit on the sofa hands round my head I fly around the world almost everywhere I would go anywhere to find you When I get back with the wind in my hair I fly it all backwards to do it again I’ve travelled all the world to find you It didn't feel so bad to find you in a state Baby i've already forrgoton I’m tired of the friends I used to have Tired of travelling second class I want to put the past behind me A life in the dream house isn't a life Strung out on something just doing the rounds I would be lying if thats what I wanted I couldn't turn around to face them again Baby i'll just keep on flying, trying to find you I was only thinking of the mountains I had to climb So many planes so many air miles to find you You know i wouldn't do it any other way

Pissing 03:07
Pissing It's a long way back from never when your down and out on your own only silent noise in your screaming as the wind blows through your bones Can I ever try to wear your old ways down? we are down to the wire It's a long way back this time CHORUS Are you feeling the weight again biting your nails as you ask yourself how did I get here and where have I been All this time? It's a long way back to here when you close the door for good to surround yourself with the yes men as your pissing your life in the wind CHORUS INST. VERSE CHORUS It's a cool November evening Its a long time since we talked when your pissing in the wind a friend is what you need when your pissing in the wind a friend is what you need

Sleepwalking 03:53
sleepwalking sleepwalking lost in a dream I can't remember all the things I've seen when i wake up, life carries on it carries on around me I've got no wings and I feel I'm flying from house to house now I'm falling down again sleepwalking, lost in a dream, searching around in my soul I never know what I'm dreaming about go back to sleep and I hope it starts again come running, run after me pick up the clouds put the sky in the sea there's nothing here, we couldn't do but life is real and so is loosing you I can't remember all the dreams I've seen I don't know why I have to sleep at all sleepwalking, lost in a dream, searching around in my soul all around there are distant trees I cry out loud as they come after me I see you there how you used to be I had you back then I lost you all over again. sleepwalking, lost in a dream.

Journey through the past I've sen the light through a time machine that was flying up to the past I climbed aboard because I wanted to my feet didn't touch the ground up in the air on a wave of love you can count the years on the stars my mind was free from the thoughts of you on this psychedelic trip tonight I'm staying upon my dream where I can free my troubled mind I see the lights as they throw their beams as they shimmer through the dark up in the air on a wave of love you can count the years on the stars my mind was free from the thoughts of me on my psychedelic trip CHORUS sorrows eyes cast a million miles throw your mind into the wind sailing fears on the lines of tears your echoes have no ears I stopped my fears by confronting them there was no one I could trust no second chance with the evidence and my mind was all made up up in the air on a wave of love you can count the years on the stars my mind was free from the thoughts of life on this journey through the past CHORUS

Heaven Knows 03:50
Heaven Knows I don't know which way to go when I die there's a place in the sky called my home Charlie says, Charlie knows heaven is centre parcs in the sky heaven knows what it is, 'cause I think I've lost the capacity to understand Yes I think I've lost the capacity to understand. Pickled brains mashed up head vegetation overgrown eyebrow mess look down here look up there Look me up on the Wiki pee It's all there! heaven knows, heaven knows what it is heaven knows, heaven knows what it is take me down to a point where I give up Hell is a place where your thoughts are in a rut Coming down you can feel it, I should know. Heaven is just centre parcs in the clouds heaven knows heaven knows heaven knows

Throw a loving arm on me your just as cold as you came your as cold as the ice can be you should have made enough enough to let it be they took your chance away and left you here like this more than enough, more than enough Baby you might take it all from me I'll keep it in my heart, I'll set it free you can tell em that your alone in this no more terrorizing me so your here with me this is how it's gonna be your life's a mystery with nothing left to see they took your chance away and left you here with me now they ain't coming back this is what it is try a loving arm on me try a loving arm for me try your loving here on me I wouldn't take it off and I would never leave so you can tell it now, tell it like it is there's nothing left for us now we have lost the kids your just another one another one I'm thinking of no one can make it back 'cause no one here is free you know it's hard, hard enough to leave you worked hard to break the soul in me you can terrify, here's to you I say goodbye no way I'm coming back for more of the same
9.
Fear is a lie I don't mind if the drugs wear off and make me restless I don't care if I trade you in to be a mess for a while you were real but your never around when I need you I'll save my time and I'll save my faith to pay the rent Close me down, I can feel the sadness on the radio tune me in on the dial of hope? It ain't worth it. NOthing sounds as good as then but then it never used to all of this has to change for the sake of our sanity the river has enough water for now the temperature has fallen down the sun is a fire in the sky the fear is in you, it has no life the sky is a space you fly around the ground is below, touch it now the ice comes and goes, it always will Fear is a lie, it isn't real Call off the dogs, there is money in something that you build you build up a lie and you have to carry it on no sense in the truth when there's nothing to be gained keep us in fear, it's easier to rule us that way the river has enough water for now the temperature has fallen down the sun is a fire in the sky the fear is in you, it has no life the sky is a space you fly around the ground is below, touch it now the ice comes and goes, it always will Fear is a lie, it isn't real

Pain 03:06
pain somebody take away this load off my back I've been away too long I know I've been too much now I know what it's like to live inside a trap I couldn't turn the other way somebody took the pain and threw it all away I don't know if I'm free or if I'm still insane strong enough for you strong enough to make it through I know I don't know who I am Oh Lord I'm making time I know where I could be I could be someone else a million miles from me Oh Lord I feel it now the drugs have made it real taking the pain away. I keep on telling me the thoughts I need to hear no I don't need your love an empty space is what I crave There is such agony, loneliness is not for me are we still getting there my friend Oh Lord beat it down and never let it breathe I played the stakes so high I thought I'd never leave I played the game so long, I never was that good taking the pain away
11.
Keep your tears away I don't know where, where to begin I don't know where, where to fit in I don't see things, simple and true I don't see these, virtues in you. I say you do, you say you don't we don't agree on anything why do we talk? Why do we bother? You don't like me, I don't like you. got me a knife, got me a phone cut you right up, call you at home this is the place where we used to live this is the room where you cut your wrists I say it's black, you say it ain't we only agree nothing is right why do we speak with nothing to say the silence is good, keep your tears away. I paid for you with blood with tears and with love If I knew how all of this would end I would never have started it in the first place I put my life on hold, I wasted so many fucking years I should never have strayed, never departed from all of my illusions
12.
Forever 04:04
Forever Take me back to the days when summers lasted forever Take me back to the days when I didn't know any better Give me back what I had my innocence and my dreams find my friends who are lost now can you turn back the time for me? Let's go back to when you loved me show me how to put things right let's go back to the time when I was a better man Give me life now forever and summers that carry on for years Please take me back to a life I loved a simple life with no regrets Let's go back to when you loved me show me how to put things right let's go back to the time when I was a better man Please don't bite off my head, I've only got what I remember It swings like wire on the gallows, it carries the weight of a man I don't know why you forget all of the things that you did all of the hatred destroyed your life and took you away from me Let's go back to when you loved me show me how to put things right let's go back to the time when I was a better man
