Live in a world of losers who
Think that only first will do
Most of us who also ran
Take our triumph where we can

Not allowed to run the race
I’m disqualified for my wrinkled face
Not in running for a prize
With looks that can’t be monetized

Hey, look at me dancing
Hey, listen to me singing
Don’t you know the pleasure’s in the playing
I may never ever win but I’m staying

Icons, legends and superstars
Play stadiums, don’t drink in bars
Take private jets and chauffeured cars
Have professional smiles and hidden scars

They slap on slap till what you see’s
A patina of empathy
Don’t look too deep into those eyes
Or you may end up petrified

Hey, look at me dancing
Hey, listen to me singing
Don’t you know the pleasure’s in the playing
I may never ever win but I’m staying

Open up and dance with me
Feel your spirit flowing free
Lose yourself in melody
Find yourself in harmony

I’ve never been on your TV
But open up and dance with me
I’m not even slightly famous
Dance with me though you can’t name us

Hey, look at me dancing
Hey, listen to me singing
Don’t you know the pleasure’s in the playing
I may never ever win but I’m staying

Caught in a web
Traps all around me
And my phone half sleeps beside me
Wide awake to whatever might be
Get up and get it stalk it and net it.

Drowning in raw information
Shackled by this fear inflation
Needy for more stimulation
Go get it stalk it and net it

Everybody needs a way
To get you through the day to day
Doesn’t help to listen to voices saying
Run away
Nose to the grindstone
Shoulder to the wheel
Best foot forward cause you are what you feel
Keep on smiling but keep it real
Make the most of the cards life deals

Take me to a garden with a river running through it
Views of snowy mountain peaks and forest
Though it’s only in my head I’ll often go to it
Leave behind the crowds and the traffic

Take me to a wonderland of Disney coloured
Butterflies and toadstools and bunnies
Though it’s only in my head I’ll often go to it
Happy in a land of milk and honey

Expectations gag and bind me
Easy rage will choke and blind me
Clever people laugh behind me
I don’t get it just don’t get it.

Living for somebody’s plan
While I’m not sure that I’m that man
I keep on pushing cause I know that I can
Keep pushing through it doubt nothing to it.

Everybody needs a way
To get you through the day to day
Doesn’t help to listen to voices saying
Run away
Nose to the grindstone
Shoulder to the wheel
Fake it to make it cause you are what you feel
Keep on smiling but keep it real
Grit and grin through the BS spiel.

Take me to a garden with a river running through it
Views of snowy mountain peaks and forest
Though it’s only in my head I’ll often go to it
Leave behind the crowds and the traffic

Take me to a wonderland of Disney coloured
Butterflies and toadstools and bunnies
Though it’s only in my head I’ll often go to it
Happy in a land of milk and honey

You’re alone says the bore at the bar
Says the villain with the gun says the on-line star
On your own in the danger zone
In the line of fire from foe unknown

You will say I’m paranoid
if you were me you couldn’t avoid
coming to the same conclusion
evidenced by some collusion

How ugly things can be
How lovely they could be

We’re alone from the day we’re born
Through the bit in the middle to the day they mourn
But someone’s there to criticize
Misunderstand, discount, deride

You can choose to listen in
To let yourself be taken in
Or you can choose to take control
And keep that poison from your soul

‘You’re a joke’, says a man I want to choke
Who thinks of himself as a regular bloke
Says I’m sad and probably mad
And that’s not normal so I must be bad.’

You will say I’m paranoid
if you were me you couldn’t avoid
Throwing back the glib damnation
Fuck his dead imagination

How ugly things can be
How lovely they could be

We’re alone from the day we’re born
Through the bit in the middle to the day they mourn
But someone’s there to criticize
Misunderstand, discount, deride

You can choose to listen in
To let yourself be taken in
Or you can choose to take control
And keep that poison from your soul
Spitting spluttering rumbling and muttering
Stuttering stumbling slowly crumbling
Casting blame and wildly flailing
Angry people’s world view’s failing

You will say I’m paranoid
If you were me you would avoid
Frightened people with delusions
Dangerous in their conclusions

How ugly things can be
How lovely they could be

We’re alone from the day we’re born
Through the bit in the middle to the day they mourn
But someone’s there to criticize
Misunderstand, discount, deride

You can choose to listen in
To let yourself be taken in
Or you can choose to take control
And keep that poison from your soul.

How ugly things can be
How lovely they could be

You got me holding my breath
for what you gonna do next
you got me tailing you round
Like some kind of blood hound

You got me sucking it up just like a hungry pup
You got me sat on the floor paws up and begging for more.
You got my tongue hanging out you got me riddled with doubt
You got me holding it in so something real can begin.

I’m holding back, waiting, hoping hard that feeling’s growing
I’m watching close, wanting clues but there is nothing showing
I’m dropping hints and making plans for where this should be going
I’m scrutinizing your responses, nothing’s showing

You got me wanting you day and night
I need all you can give to sate my appetite
You got me taking the bull by the horn
At the risk that the only thing you got for me is scorn

You got me losing sleep
Because I want you for keeps
You got me losing my shit
And then I can’t explain it.

You got me holding my breath for what you’re gonna say next
You got me watching your eyes in case you’re telling me lies
You got me keeping it light, so nothing ends in a fight
You got me wanting you all so I can have some control

I’m holding back, waiting, hoping hard that feeling’s growing
I’m watching close, wanting clues but there is nothing showing
I’m dropping hints and making plans for where this should be going
I’m scrutinizing your responses, nothing’s showing

You got me wanting you day and night
I need all you can give to sate my appetite
You got me taking the bull by the horn
At the risk that the only thing you got for me is scorn

Hearts beat, eyes flash
Time flows in slow motion
When Love explodes
Shattering all previous notions
Rhythms move us
Music fires and soothes us
We can be one
We can burn like the sun

Desire pulls us
It flows around and through us
Caught by the undertow
All doubts and fears can go
Melodies move us
Rhythm fires and soothes us
We can be one
We can burn like the sun


When we lock eye to eye
Feels like soaring through the sky
Let your heart grow let your love flow
Open up and let yourself go
One rhythm moves us
One love flows through us
We can be one
We can burn like the sun

Burns so life grows
So hope sows and love flows
Dreaming and hoping, spinning and searching
You and I can burn like the sun

When we lock eye to eye
Feels like soaring through the sky
Let your heart grow let your love flow
Open up and let yourself go
One rhythm moves us
One love flows through us
We can be one
We can burn like the sun

Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will really hurt me
Cold looks and criticism push me away
Tell me I’m the problem and it seems you want to lose me
Show me that you care, and you know I’ll want to stay
You can bleed me
You can feed me
You can love me
You can believe in me.

I can be there so tell me
I can hold you compel me
I just love you believe me
When you need me when you need me
I can listen so shout it
I can comfort don’t doubt that
I just love you so call me
When you need me when you need me.

Acid words and angry looks can worry and confuse me
Cold hard evaluations make me stay away
Say I need to change, and I wonder if you love me
If you want just part of me there’s nothing more to say
You can bleed me
You can feed me
You can love me
You can believe in me.

I can be there so tell me
I can hold you compel me
I just love you believe me
When you need me when you need me
I can listen so shout it
I can comfort don’t doubt that
I just love you so call me
When you need me when you need me.

You can bleed me
You can feed me
You can love me
You can believe in me

I can be there so tell me
I can hold you compel me
I just love you believe me
When you need me when you need me
I can listen so shout it
I can comfort don’t doubt that
I just love you so call me
When you need me when you need me.

I’m not very clever, I’m not quick and smart
I’m not even cunning, no head just bleeding heart
Some days I think this way, some days I think that
Is that a way to live? Hell yes I’m indecisive.

I swing I like it
Don’t feel the need to fight it
I swing I love it
Never feeling ashamed of it

I swing you try it
Gonna find that you’re taken by it
Go swing don’t fight it
Let yourself be taken by it

I feel the ground has shifted all roots pulled and twisted
There is a storm coming brace yourselves it’s gonna be something
To feel safe and sure bend with the breeze from a strong core
To let your soul soar you can swing your ass on the dance floor

I swing I like it
Don’t feel the need to fight it
I swing I love it
Never feeling ashamed of it

I swing you try it
Gonna find that you’re taken by it
Go swing don’t fight it
Let yourself be taken by it

I’ve got no fall-back plans
Perhaps that’s why you say it
You’ve said it lots before
Intend to keep on saying it
Always worked before
To pull the rug away
Always made it sure
That you would win the day

Once more you throw in doubt
All of our life together
You’re holding all the cards
But one that really matters
You lost that long ago
The day you let me know
Just what you’d put in play
Just so you’d win the day

Congratulations hon
You have so clearly won
Everything you’ve said and done
Asks if I should be long gone.

It used to make me mad
But now it leaves me sad
At first my passion fired
But now I feel so tired
So, when you call in doubt
All of our life together
Should I just cut and run?
Leave you with all you’ve won?

Congratulations hon
You have so clearly won
Is it time that I was gone?
Leaving you with all you’ve won?

You’ll have some fall-back plan
That must be why you say it
You’ve said it lots before
Intend to keep on saying it
Always worked before
To pull the rug away
Always made it sure
That you would win the day

Do it on purpose, do it on purpose
Think that you’re worth it, and do it on purpose.

Here’s some philosophy condensed for brevity
And clear simplicity in all sincerity

I was caught in all kinds of shit then I thought
Life’s too short life’s too short
Holding in nothing could ever begin
Then I thought life’s too short

Do it on purpose, D d d do it on purpose
Think that you’re worth it, and do it on purpose.

In my head poison enemies spread
Hope seemed dead but hope said
You can be all you want to be
If you try maybe you can fly

Do it on purpose, D d d do it on purpose
Think that you’re worth it, and do it on purpose.
Do it on purpose, D d d do it on purpose
Know that you’re worth it, and do it on purpose.

Find who you are and do it on purpose
Know your truth make sure that you own it
Live in love, let your goal be
To make yourself and the world happy

That was philosophy condensed for brevity
And clear simplicity in all sincerity.

Do it on purpose, D d d do it on purpose
Know that you’re worth it, and do it on purpose.

Nothing Like.
Remix by Boscop Benavente (Quiero Club/Suadero Soundsystem)

Can be hard when you’re living on nothing
Hanging around waiting for something
Are you proud or happy for anything
Are you down, are you ever going to give in

Do you simply swallow the view
That your friends and family choose or
Do you say I write my story
And it leads to dazzling glory

I’m not holding back
Fingers in your ears if you don’t want to hear it
I’m not growing up
Don’t believe in Santa Claus, do believe in miracles
I’m not giving up
Don’t believe me try to stop me
I’m not laying down anymore.

In thinking you’ve got somewhere to go
Can be hard to take the doubt
Awkward silence freezing out

Do you simply swallow the view
That the hard of thinking choose or
Do you say I write my story
And it leads to dazzling glory

I’m not looking back
Hoping for the future, step away if that don’t suit ya
I’m not reining in Sit on it and swivel if you think I’m gonna give in not shutting up
Don’t want to hear me don’t come near me
I’m not laying down anymore.

Do you simply swallow the view

Here in a world that I don’t understand
I’m an angry old git with a remote in his hand
Shouting at screens fighting with the radio
A self generating tide of rage so
I don’t whoop or say whodeman and
Ostentatious displays of emotion can
Leave me wanting to get away quick
To escape to the comfort and joy of music

Nothing like the music in me
Nothing like the joy it brings me
Nothing like when the music takes full control.

I like to sing not a Buble or a Bing
And truth to tell I’m hardly anybody’s thing
Though I try very hard at what I’m doing
Still there isn’t any action brewing
Big world sorry to bother you
This here’s all I got to offer you
And I give myself up
To the joy I get from making music

Nothing like the music in me
Nothing like the joy it brings me
Nothing like when the music takes full control of me.

Big world sorry to bother you
This here’s all I got to offer you
And I give myself up.
To the joy I get from making music

Nothing like the music in me
Nothing like the joy it brings me
Nothing like when the music takes full control of me.

You’re very cross and you want revenge
Because I failed to comprehend
You take money you don’t take orders
You don’t work you only do favours
When I failed to recognize
Your art is so much more than mine
You really tried to fuck me up
With lies and insults theft and grime

I can wish you a long slow painful death
Make your effigy stick pins in it.
Is that gonna make me feel happy
Is that gonna make me feel happy

I can push you off the edge of a cliff
Or under a bus or into a skip
Is that gonna make me feel happy
Is that gonna make me feel happy

Poison that you call perception
Nastiness and maximum friction
Seems you really want a fight
Spitting bile you call it insight
Pseudo psychological judgment
Coming at me from maladjustment
Plain to see your basic error
You’re staring hard into a mirror.
I can push you into a pool with sharks
Or crocodiles or electric sparks
Is that gonna make me feel happy
Is that gonna make me feel happy

In the end the hate you get
Is equal to the hate you send
In the end you’re not a friend
In the end this is the end

I can wish you a long slow painful death
Make your effigy stick pins in it.
Is that gonna make me feel happy
Is that gonna make me feel happy

I can push you off the edge of a cliff
Or under a bus or into a skip
Is that gonna make me feel happy
Is that gonna make me feel happy
I can push you into a pool with sharks
Or crocodiles or electric sparks
Is that gonna make me feel happy
Is that gonna make me feel happy

I’m not angry I’m cool.

I’m so cool, got an answer for you all
Gonna patronize and school cause I’m not angry
I’m so right heavyweight for verbal heights
Dominate the moral heights cause I’m not angry
You’re confused, and I try to be amused
As I rudely disabuse cause I’m not angry
You’re so wrong but we can get along
Once you’re on song cause I’m not angry

I’m not angry, I’m cool.

Black and white and day and night
And no half right cause I’m not angry
Them and us and deep mistrust
And my needs must cause I’m not angry
Tender loving care and no one’s there
And life’s not fair cause I’m not angry
Feel the love in the push and shove
For scraps from above cause I’m not angry

World online an anonymous crime
Less face to face more cyber time
Fake news trending, tragic endings
Human interest, judgement pending
Victims shaming, victims blaming
Victimhood the victims claiming
We all race to hide our face in
Phones locked into cyber space.

Show me puppies, kittens, elephants and babies
Spare me images of rabies cause I’m not angry
Light a fart push your fame off the chart
It’s a talent laden start cause I’m not angry
Ridicule and troll little people take control
Lynch mobs is the goal cause I’m not angry
Shout it down if it’s gonna raise a frown
Give stupidity a crown cause I’m not angry.

Quality time with friends online
We’ve never met but we get on fine
Selfie sending culture blending
Hashtag trending morals bending
Indignation generation
Condemnation orchestration
We have paid a heavy cost
For all the contact we have lost

I’m so cool, got an answer for you all
Gonna patronize and school cause I’m not angry
I’m so right heavyweight for verbal heights
Dominate the moral heights cause I’m not angry
You’re confused, and I try to be amused
As I rudely disabuse cause I’m not angry
You’re so wrong but we can get along
Once you’re on song cause I’m not angry

I’m not angry, I’m not angry
I’m not angry, I’m cool.

Regrets I count quite a few
But a list would only bore and
Details won’t interest you
So I’ll try to keep it short

Melancholy’s here again
Like clouds like flu like a ball and chain
Melancholy’s going to stay
Till the day it blows away I’ll

Spend a lot of time in my head
Saying what I wish I’d said
If I’d been as brave and true
As I know I’m really meant to

Spend a lot of time wishing for
Wit and charm and something more
Spend my time holding back
To cover up unsightly cracks

Try to think philosophically
But that doesn’t really help me
And analytical overviews
Cloud with details tend to confuse

My silly secret wish
Want to be clever like a secret agent
Never meant to be like this
Bitter cold too old impatient

Had a lot of love that I threw away
On shits and creeps and casual lays
Had a lot of hope and that went too
Looked one day to find it blue

Had a lot of hope I snuffed it out
Vacuum filled by fear and doubt
Used to think I was on a roll
Now I think there’s no control

I might need philosophy
I don’t need obfuscation
Facing my mortality
Ditch the hocus explanations

Melancholy’s hanging around
Like clouds like love like a sweet sad sound
Melancholy’s going to stay
Till the day it blows away I’ll

Spend a lot of time in my head
Saying what I wish I’d said
If I’d been as brave and true
As I know I’m really meant to

Spend a lot of time wishing for
Wit and charm and something more
Spend my time holding back
To cover up unsightly cracks.

Give me losers over winners: indecisive, lazy sinners any day:
People with a good few vices scarred by the scrum that life is, probably.

Take a look at me you know I’m on the ropes
And I won’t be judging you for lost hope
Take a look at me you know I’m on the ground
And I won’t be judging you, don’t be judging me.

I have never trusted cool and much preferred nerds and fools always
Tell me that you’re often wrong and we are going to get along famously

Take a look at me you know I’m on the ropes
And I won’t be judging you for lost hope
Take a look at me you know I’m on the ground
And I won’t be judging you, don’t be judging me.

Let me know your less than perfect let me think you think I’m worth it, occasionally
Let’s just be two great disasters falling down and needing plasters constantly

Take a look at me you know I’m on the ropes
And I won’t be judging you for lost hope
Take a look at me you know I’m on the ground
And I won’t be judging you, Don’t be judging me.

Take a look at me you know I’m on the ropes
And I won’t be judging you for lost hope
Take a look at me you know I’m on the ground
And I won’t be judging you, Don’t be judging me.

Saturday night
Big city atmosphere
Whole lot of fights
Perfume, spilled beer
One girl down
Head in hands and
Eyes to the ground
She’s lost to sorrow
Tonight
She had company
But now he’s gone
Gone with somebody
Blames herself
Her own stupidity
Blames being clingy
and hates being needy
What do you feel
When there's no one left to believe
And there's nothing left up your sleeve
And you don't know which way your going
Tonight
Too much atmosphere
Too much noise
Too much dodgy gear
No one sees
A girl in tears
Lost in the crowd
Lost in sorrow
If she hadn’t tried to see inside him
If she hadn’t tried to be his friend
If she hadn’t built a wall around them
If she hadn’t tried to reel him in
Love gets you and then
Fools you again
Leave's you alone

How can you deal
When there's nothing left to believe
And there's nothing left up your sleeve
And you don't know which way your going
If she hadn’t tried to see inside him
If she hadn’t tried to be his friend
If she hadn’t built a wall around them
If she hadn’t tried to break him in
Love gets you and then
Fools you again
Leave's you alone

When I was young
Though I used to dream that I could fly
I was always far too sensible
To ever try
Now that I’ve grown old
I won't be told
I'm flapping my arms like a fool
But my feet stay firmly on the ground

Nowadays I don’t know if I will ever truly fly
But like a wasp in a window
I’ll buzz in circles trying to reach
The outside sky
Ain’t got no wings
Nor a whole lot of other things
And my feet are firmly on the ground
While my heads up in the sky

I won’t be told
This is one dream I still aint sold
I’m trying hard to fly
Cause my head’s still up there in the sky

Inside I’m still the boy
That dreamt he could fly
But now there’s nothing to lose
I’ll try and try and try
I won’t be told
This is one dream I still aint sold
I’m trying hard to fly
Cause my head’s still up there in the sky

Bedded down there on the street
She don’t see eyes she just sees feet
She don’t expect the rest to care
But they pretend that she’s not there

She prays the lord her soul to keep
One freezing night to make her sleep
And that it should please be deep
That it could last forever

Lifeline
If someone’s drowning throw a lifeline
It really could be you sometime
Don’t look away throw a lifeline

Joie de vivre is hard to keep
When you can’t think straight and you can’t sleep
When all you love has been pulled away
When nightmare nights roll into days

Put the armor on
Bring the visor down
Put a distance in the eyes and
Head into town

Pray the lord your soul to keep
Untried by life’s unpleasantries
Pray to him to keep you free of
Loneliness and poverty.

Lifeline,
So many looking for a lifeline
Be smug and stupid think you’re doing fine
I hope you never need a lifeline

Dignity is hard to keep
When you’re hungry and too cold to sleep
You might say it's a long way down but
it don't take long to hit the ground

Lifeline
If someone’s drowning throw a lifeline
It really could be you sometime
Don’t look away throw a lifeline

There’s things you try to hide
But I can’t fail to see inside
You try to say your strong
And I just want to hold you
So big so small
Not fooling me at all
I give you everything I can
But you’re still hurting

When you feel hurt and sad
I want to bring you back
I wish that I could take on
All the hurt you feel
When you feel lost and lonely
Want to throw my arms around you
I wish that I could give you
Everything you need

Scared for what’s to come
I’d like to take your fears away
And try to give you
Everything you need
With all that you regret
The past still hurts you
I’d like to help you see
Things another way

When you feel hurt and sad
I want to bring you back
I wish that I could take on
All the hurt you feel
When you feel lost and lonely
Want to throw my arms around you
I wish that I could give you
Everything you need
I can throw my arms around you
But I can’t make you see
There’s so much love surrounds you
Please see

When you feel hurt and sad
I want to bring you back
I wish that I could take on
All the hurt you feel
When you feel lost and lonely
Want to throw my arms around you
I wish that I could give you
Everything you need

As far as anyone knows
He’s doing fine he glows
He’s got this distance
that he likes to maintain

When no one else is there
He’s deafened by the blare
Of voices that he should have
Left behind

Alone with his thoughts
He’s trapped he’s tied and circling
He hopes that one more drink
Might just untie him

Really there’s no one there
At least no one that cares
Just people that scarred and
Betrayed him

He finds it hard to trust
Feelings that aren’t lust
Or sold as magic dust
To take him somewhere else

Alone with his thoughts
He’s trapped he’s tied and circling
He hopes that one more drink
Might just untie him

Alone with his past
The same fight to the last
He wants his power back
And one more hit might just release him

As far as anyone knows
He’s doing fine he glows
He’s got this distance
that he likes to maintain

When no one else is there
He’s deafened by the blare
Of voices that he should have
Left behind

Alone with his thoughts
He’s trapped he’s tied and circling
He hopes that one more drink
Might just untie him

He’s living in his past
The same fight to the last
He wants his power back
And one more hit my just release him

With two glib words you dismiss what I do
And steer conversation back to you
And the things that you think and you say and you do
And all the love we share for you

We’re all just extras in the film about you
And the things that you think and you say and you do
And the extras you use and you cheat and you screw
Because the whole fucking universe revolves around you.

Your ego’s big as all outdoors
It fills in the space between the walls and the floors
Spills out of the windows flows up to the ceiling
But where is love? Where is feeling?
Because the whole fucking universe revolves around you
You want to talk about the things you do
And the things you say to the people you screw
And the terrible pain of just being you

Brings tears to your eyes and a sob to your voice
As you talk about you as you talk about choice
And the extras you’ve left at the side of the road
In pursuit of the worship you believe that you’re owed

What’s in your head your best concealing
That greatest love of all your feeling
When all the words are said and done
Means your just out for number one

If the whole fucking universe revolves around you
Then tell me why the things you do
And the things you think and the things you say
Mean people only get out of your way

Lonely at the end of the day
When there’s nobody there to talk about you to
Loneliness is something I’ve a feeling
You will have to get used to

Tell me is your universe reeling
No one loves you how are you feeling
Out here on your own again
Looking after number one

Tell me is your universe reeling
No one loves you how are you feeling
Out here on your own again
Looking after number one

Here I go again
Out of control putting on a show
I tell you that I just don’t know
What makes the rabid juices flow
Here you go again
Playing judge and jury with me
When all I want’s your arms around me
To bring me back to sanity
Only got myself to blame
For playing silly drama games
That only take me back to this
I’m staring into the same abyss
Swinging from the edge of a precipice praying
Fingers slipping courage failing
Are you going to cut the rope
I can only shut my eyes and hope

You say I’m bringing you down
And it’s always me who’s on the ground
And it’s always you who pulls me up
A helpless hopeless sickly pup
Now you’re pushing me away
I understand and I’ve got nothing to say
Except that you’re my rock my love
Please don’t say that’s not enough
Only got myself to blame
For all the things I can’t explain
That only take me back to this
I’m staring into the same abyss
Swinging from the edge of a precipice praying
Fingers slipping courage failing
Are you going to cut the rope
I can only shut my eyes and hope

There I was again
Out of control putting on a show
I tell you that I just don’t know
What makes the rabid juices flow
Here you go again
Playing god with me
Accept that you’re my rock my love
And please don’t say that’s not enough
Only got myself to blame
For all the things I can’t contain
That only take me back to this
I’m staring into the same abyss
Swinging from the edge of a precipice praying
Fingers slipping courage failing
Are you going to cut the rope
I can only shut my eyes and hope

Your eyes burn right through me
They say how could you do this again
Getting gone is never easy
But how it feels to hold you stays with me wherever I go

Never want to leave you behind
How can I leave you behind
Don’t want to leave you behind again

Promises that I can’t keep
Come back to me and keep me from sleep
The miles there are between us
Couldn’t dull the ache, do you know you’re always a part of me

Never want to leave you behind
How can I leave you behind
Don’t want to leave you behind again

I close my eyes to see you
And reach inside to feel you
Your touch your eyes your smile
Everything about you, all of it is burned inside of me

Never want to leave you behind
How can I leave you behind
Don’t want to leave you behind again

Many subtle ways to ask for attention
Toss your hair, throw a sulk or ignore all direction
If immediate attention is not forthcoming
Some people take more drastic action

Less subtle ways to get some attention
Usually involve more forceful intervention
Make a scene shout and scream throw things about
Then retire to a corner with an angry pout

I’m not saying that’s what I’d do
But what does it take to get through to you
This horse has come to the end of it’s tether
Do you love me now? Will you love me ever

Desperate ways to get some attention
Usually involve more harmful intervention
Slit a vein jack a plane, get thrown out ranting
From a local government institution

I’ve got a friend who’s felt ignored
From the day he was born, lots of bitterness stored
One day he fears it will all come out
In a headline grabbing bloody shout out

I’m not saying that’s what I’d do
But what does it take to get through to you
What does it take to bring the two of us together
Do you love me now? Will you love me ever?

I know what you’re going to say
Normal people don’t feel this way
Normal people have more control
Normal people have a normal soul

Normal’s something I can’t do
But honestly you’re a strange one too
Normal’s not what you’re about
And it makes me strident and it makes me shout

Saying something loud don’t make it true
But what does it take to get through to you
This horse has come to the end of his tether
Should I walk away and forget you forever

I’m not saying that’s what I’d do
But what does it take to get through to you
What does it take to bring the two of us together
Do you love me now? Will you love me ever?

Free thinker seeks same
No dogs, no fems, no wrinklies
Straight acting normal sane
Headline no pain no gain
He thinks that this could be
The embodiment of fantasy
This one could be so hot
But then probably not

Do do do it doggie style
Quick sniff then in then out and about
No passion no emotional tie
No hopes no fears no doubt

Muscle jock seeks passive
No bullshit member massive
No face pic no reply
No baggage no emotional tie
He too thinks this could be
The embodiment of fantasy
They both think they’re so hot
No idea of what they haven’t got

Do do do it doggie style
Quick sniff then in then out and about
No passion no emotional tie
No hopes no fears no doubt

On meeting they can see
Neither is the other’s fantasy
But it seems a shame to waste
The opportunity
One touches it’s getting late
So the other reciprocates
No kiss no chat no smile
Just heavy panting for a while

Do do do it doggie style
Quick sniff then in then out and about
No passion no emotional tie
No hopes no fears no doubt

Rain wash me away
Clouds colour me grey

Why split the world into winners and losers
Shouldn’t let anger fool us
With such a limited view
It all comes back to bite you

Feels better being out in the rain
Watching leaves flowing down the drain
Like them I’m washed away
By the torrent of things you say

Feels better to be out in the cold
Inside feeling lonely and old
Something I have to know
How deep delusion goes

Am I more than a name and a number
Do I count
Is it any wonder
Some way some how
Must count some how

Rain wash me away
Clouds colour me grey

I want to let the elements take me
Thunder crack and lightning break me
Rain come and wash me away
Until there’s nothing left to think or say

Rain wash me away
Clouds colour me grey
The wind blows hard today
Do you really want me to stay

Am I more than a name and a number
Do I count
Is it any wonder
Some way some how
Must count some how

Please elements take me
Thunder crack and lightning break me
Rain come and wash me away
Until there’s nothing left to think or say

Old man with the watery eyes
Makes his slow sad shuffle to the bar and sighs
Orders whisky then catches my eye
Says ‘Son don’t you end your days like mine

When you’ve got love hold on to it
Cherish it don’t let anybody steal it
It’s far too precious for you to
Ever refuse to feel it’

Held by his pleading gaze
I smile politely and turn away
‘Don’t want to hear’ he says
But my words ‘ll come back to you one of these days’

‘Old man’ I say
‘My life’s not going your way’
He says ‘You turn your back on me and
I’ll surely be your destiny

I half laugh as he shuffles back
To his seat by the window but he isn’t done yet
He says ‘you want it, love you need it
Love you live it, love you breathe it’

We want it, we need it
We live it, we breathe it
We want it, we need it
We live it, we breathe it.

When you’ve got love hold on to it
Cherish it don’t let anybody steal it
It’s far too precious for you to
Ever refuse to feel it.

Old man with the watery eyes
Makes his slow sad shuffle to the bar again and sighs
Orders whisky then avoiding my eye
Says ‘You don’t have to end your days like mine’

When you’ve got love hold on to it
Cherish it don’t let anybody steal it
It’s far too precious for you to
Ever refuse to feel it.

You’ve got the ass
I’ve got the inclination
The way you look
Fires my imagination
Can’t help but stare
But you just look right through me
You know I’m there
So why d’you do this to me

You’re over there -your over here
And then your dancing round me
Like you don’t care- like your not sure
Like you already own me
My tongue is out
As you are brushing past me
So very close
It’s just enough to tease me

Here in this place where the sun don’t shine
Your rays are reaching dark corners of my mind
Your body pulls me like a fish on a line
And I want to take you where the sun don’t shine

Heart in my mouth, I try to speak
But I can’t get a word out
You take my hand, you take my mouth
You kiss me like your hungry
You break for air
Then tell me that we’re leaving
When we get home,
That’s when I start to own you

I want to titillate you captivate you liberate you.

Here in this place where the sun don’t shine
Your rays are reaching dark corners of my mind
Your body pulls me like a fish on a line
And I want to take you where the sun don’t shine

Watching the sunrise
My heart still pounds
Another night of chasing dreamboats
All over town
Shaking in the dawn light
Is it cold or is it shame
Lust is a demanding beast
Fails us in the end

Hold your head up high
Everyone’s the same
The sun still rises everyday
On everyone who plays the game
Look them in the eye
We are all the same
The sun still rises everyday
Rising Rising

My pride fell asleep
Or it just looked away
Just before the time came to
Make my one play
Now it’s woken up
In the morning light
Angry and indignant
Spoiling for a fight

If you play the game
We are all the same
Needing wanting cheating vaunting
Not to be pushed away
Look them in the eye
We are all the same
The sun still rises everyday
Rising Rising

Sliding slowly backwards
Tripping over Falling down
This all may just look like slapstick
You can call me clown
People can laugh at me
I say let them cry
I am not the one who will have
Lived a long lie

Look them in the eye
We are all the same
Let’s just say humanity is
The thing to blame
Hold your head up high
We are all the same
The sun still rises everyday
Rising Rising

We are all the same
If you play the game

Most days you are next to me
Talking kindly gentle sense to me
Your voice is more than memory

You’re there to pull me back
From self destructive acts
Your voice is more than a memory

Those things I didn’t say
Now I write them on the page
But You knew them anyway always

Those things I never told you
I know I never fooled you
I know you saw inside me always

I am because you showed me
I am because you loved me
You are everything that made me
Everything that made me everything that saves me

Can’t bring you back but you’re with me
Inside around and part of me
You’re so much more than a memory

Holding on to the love you gave me
Holding on to the life you showed me
Holding on to your voice inside me always

I am because you showed me
I am because you loved me
You are everything that made me
Everything that made me everything that saves me

Most days you are next to me
Talking kindly gentle sense to me
Your voice is more than memory

Holding on to the love you gave me
Holding on to the life you showed me
Holding on to your voice inside me always

I am because you showed me
I am because you loved me
You are everything that made me
Everything that made me everything that saves me
