I will be with you

When you looked my way
That's the point I knew
When the lights come up
I will be with you
La da da da
La da da da
La da da da
La da da da
La da da da
La da da da
La da da da
La da da da
Though sometimes we fight
It's something to do
When the lights go down
I will be with you

Tipping point
03:48
|
|||
You think I wouldn't find out about that guy?
Don't kid yourself
You think I wouldn't notice or wonder why?
I'm more astute than that
You leave those clues for me to find
I remember every one
Now it's too late, you want to rewind
But you're holding a smoking gun
We've reached a tipping point
There's no way back from here
A line of dominoes has fallen
A house of cards collapsed
Your concentration lapsed
A brand-new life for me
Is calling
I just agreed to meet you to say goodbye
To wish you well
Everything we went through and all that time
It doesn't mean a thing
I hope you're happy from now on
But it's time for me to leave
Think long and hard once I have gone
You'll believe what you will believe

Reinvention

Reinvent yourself
Become something else
Something new
Something amazing

Burning question
04:14
|
|||
I'll watch you dodge it
I'll see it totally side-stepped
I'll watch you dismiss it
You'll make sure that your secret's kept
Evasive actions every time
You're so predictable
Glib exhibitions are sublime
Statements redactable
I got a burning question
And I want it answered
Just tell me: yes or no
Did you really think
That I wouldn't notice
Now I want you to go
I didn't think I needed to draw the destinction
Between wrong and right
Now it seems you can't even answer a question
So get out of my sight
I can see it coming
I can see it forming in your mind:
A deflective statement
Excuse me, but I am not blind
So you think I was born yesterday?
So condescending
There's nothing true for you to say
But you'll keep on defending

Make it right
03:45
|
|||
I know I've made mistakes with you
It's so unjustified
I'd like to start over anew
And sweep the past aside
I know you told me to go
But every time we fight
I just wanted you to know
I'm struggling for this fight
I'm here for you tonight
Bring us into the light
I'm gonna
Make it right
I listened to the radio
And Mr Brightside played
It reminded me of you
'cause you brought me from my cage
I've so much to thank you for
You brought me back to life
I can't stand it; I want more
I don't need a yes or no
A maybe will suffice
To give me hope so I can show
A mistake we won't make twice
A little faith can do so much
Give a little trust
I only want to feel your touch

Far from home
04:40
|
|||
Another lazy afternoon
Laying by the pool
Rationalise where we went wrong:
An errand for a fool
Reality so far away
And all I want to do
Remember life in another way
Rewrite the chapters without you
Far from home
Casting aside the restless one
Far from home
Reaching out into the sun
I've danced deep into the night
I've drunk more than I should
Spiralling to a stranger's bed
And strangely, feeling good
Night after night I find my path
Along the streets of me
I want to live, I want to laugh
I want to do and to be

Rock star
04:00
|
|||
I think my parents are embarrassed by me
I didn't follow the family
I left town, met a man with money
When I bent over, he promised me
"I'll make you a rock star"
That's what he said
"I'll make you a rock star"
Then he took me to bed
"I'll make you a rock star"
I didn't like that part but you've
Gotta suffer for your art
Rock star
Rock star
He took some pictures and he gave me a car
Gave me a makeover to make me a star
I didn't write a single word of my song
But I just know I'm gonna be singing it all decade long
'cause I'm a rock star
That's what I am
I'm a rock star
Yes, I'm a self-made man
Rock star
Rock star
I mime my way through every show
I know fewer chords than the mighty Quo
I don't sing, I just growl like a goon
That way we don't need auto-tune
My team of writers sometimes let me in
They let me write this line which is why it doesn't fit
I'll lap up attention but just don't approach me
I'll have you taken by security
I'm a rock star
An obnoxious one, too
I'm a rock star
With more money than you
I'm a rock star
It was my ultimate goal
Just get on your hands and knees and sell them your soul
I'm a rock star
It seems so long since my career's start
Two years gone by and my singles don't chart
Don't wanna work again, it's pretty bad
Just had to move back in with mum and dad
I was a rock star

Ground zero

10. |

Another Christmas without you
Another new years alone
Forget the season of goodwill
When you're living it on your own
An empty room with a Christmas tree
All forlorn
An empty bed, space next to me
Threadbare and worn
I thought it would be so simple
I thought we had it made
I never thought that come this Christmas
The spark would simply fade
A useless gift with an 'amusing' card
Under the tree
The Christmas songs just make this hard
At least, for me
We always had such happy times
Such festive cheer
Now, of course, we see our love
Completely disappear

A train goes past the station
There are leaves upon the line
Commuters stifle sniffles
With a plastic cup of wine
Waiting at a level crossing
Stands a silver four-wheel drive
Time to pick the kids up
Who knows when they will arrive
Down the lane a little cyclist
With a little flashing light
Slips past a little church
Its little windows shining bright
Around the back, a graveyard
With some ageing wooden benches
Empty beer cans litter graves
Of those who died in trenches
We're all living on this island
We're all getting by
Empire lost, we count the cost, but
Stiff upper lips don't cry
On the fields of Battle
There's a kid flying a kite
His parents pecking fingerfoods
Discussing who is right:
He says they should move
But she wants to stay put
He's increasingly insistent
But she's putting down her foot
Across the road a pub is open
Parasols out front
People drinking continental lager
Talking with a grunt
The cat jumps up onto the bar
A glass falls with a smash
"That's coming from your wages!"
Says the landlord, waving cash
Streets away, a tiny woman
Pulls a basket on its wheels
Inside, the Yorkshire terrier
Looks forward to its meals
She stops into a corner shop
Picks up a box of tea
She strolls back home and watches
Something on the BBC
Next door, a baby's crying
'cause she wants to have her feed
Her mother doesn't notice
'cause she's settled down to read
Up and down the country
On the doorsteps and the drives
All the British people
Going about their British lives

Victims of justice
03:36
|
|||
You didn't love him
Now you can't love again
You wanted freedom
And it will come as the end
You wanted refuge
They turn their backs on a friend
You've got opinions
Well there's a faith to defend
Victims of justice
Majority
You never learned from
Human history
"You'll never be like us
Intrinsically
You don't conform to
Normality"
