High rise 04:18
lyrics
buy track
Looking from the top of the High rise You can see the heart Of the city Looking from the top of the High rise It all seems so pretty Crossing the Thames on Hungerford Bridge You can see them milling around The trains from Charing Cross going down Out of town London Bridge as the sun sinks low You point out where we go tomorrow Saint Paul's in a shimmering glow And now I know Looking from the top of the High rise You can see the heart Of the city Looking from the top of the High rise It all seems so pretty Suddenly, we're in a lift You take me down to earth Sweet smells of street food, sounds of mirth A chill wind blows You hold me close I smell your cologne It's as if we're home Looking from the top of the High rise You can see the heart Of the city Looking from the top of the High rise It all seems so pretty Looking from the top of the High rise You can see the heart Of the city Looking from the top of the High rise It all seems so pretty Looking from the top of the High rise You can see the heart Of the city Looking from the top of the High rise It all seems so pretty Looking from the top of the High rise You can see the heart Of the city Looking from the top of the High rise It all seems so pretty

This England 04:10
lyrics
buy track
The UK's been a melting pot since pre-1066 All ethnicities and cultures somewhere in the mix Regardless of your age, your creed, ability or health We're all in it together, unless you've got the wealth From the Channel coast up to Berwick-upon-Tweed The largest UK nation gives you everything you need Weather, drama, theatre, the city or the beach A rail replacement bus puts it well within your reach This England It's not too bad This England It's pretty sad This England Has its spirit drained And every day it rained Smoky days in winter then the crispness of the night Halogen street lamps shed an eerie orange light Puddles run to rivers flowing down into the sea Tourists find it fascinating, all that history Humidity and sunshine and the endless summer eves Giving way to autumn and the changing of the leaves The sights and smells and sounds of a living, breathing dream As special as a mote of dust caught in a moon beam This England It's not too bad This England It's pretty sad This England Has its spirit drained And every day it rained This England This England This England And then of course this country isn't quite without its shite Rising rabble riling up extremists on the right And indeed if we don't take it that seriously We could end up losing rights and our democracy But then again, the struggle is as ancient as the hills Conservatives have always blamed the left for all our ills Let's be clear that we're not going down without a fight It's an eternal struggle, bringing sadness to our plight This England It's not too bad This England It's pretty sad This England Has its spirit drained And every day it rained This England This England This England

Sundown 04:20
lyrics
buy track
Golden hour We love the sunlight Saturated colours Seem so bright Watch the sun Disappearing Blood-red clouds Around it are searing Soon enough It's time for sundown Lampposts light the well-to-do And run-down Reds give way To the blues Cooler nights in autumn Splash their cool hues You can almost feel the seasons changing You can almost feel the light is fading

The forgotten place 04:06
lyrics
buy track
Somewhere round here is the forgotten place Virtually unspoilt by the human race The plants and animals we tend to displace Thrive here Thrive here A message in a bottle found here long ago Told of an island blanketed in snow Far to the north where the going's slow And calm And calm It's a long way home from here You're not gonna win this race It's a long way home from here From the forgotten place Memories forged here in the forgotten place Persist through time and aren't easy to erase Triggering a reminiscence of a taste Or sound Or sound I found a sanctuary with its door ajar Everything seemed strangely familiar Instinctively, I picked up some strange guitar And played And played It's a long way home from here You're not gonna win this race It's a long way home from here From the forgotten place It's a long way home from here You're not gonna win this race It's a long way home from here From the forgotten place It's a long way home from here You're not gonna win this race It's a long way home from here From the forgotten place

Dunes 05:39
lyrics
buy track
Somewhere, far across the dunes Where the sun meets a crescent moon There's an oasis, or perhaps a lagoon A meeting place, where I am to see you Will you be there, under a deep blue sky As we arranged, before I knew why You had to leave without saying goodbye You had to lie I see a flash of your face among a crowd But I can't draw attention, I can't be loud I can't shout your name or barely make a sound And when I turn the corner you're nowhere to be found Sand in my eyes and sand on my skin The dunes have worn my patience thin Looking for you, I don't know where to begin Could you be him? Overwhelming, senses shot I really don't think that I've got What it takes; I've lost the plot If I'm lost in the dunes, I'll surely rot Sand in my shoes, sweat on my brow I don't suppose I'll ever find you now I don't suppose I'll ever find you now Find you now

Driving rain 03:57

Heading to the seafront I've got the rain In my eyes Heading to the seafront I don't know why Driving rain Wash it away Driving rain Wash it all away Don't be heavy-handed With a heavy heart You know it's never easy To decide to part Driving rain Wash it away Driving rain Wash it all away I need to get back in I'm cold and soaked to the skin Turn my collar up to the wind Rid myself of this terrible sin I need to get back in I'm cold and soaked to the skin Turn my collar up to the wind Rid myself of this terrible sin I need to get back in I'm cold and soaked to the skin Turn my collar up to the wind Rid myself of this terrible sin I need to get back in I'm cold and soaked to the skin Turn my collar up to the wind Rid myself of this terrible sin

You take my hand and lead me Down to the floor I leave my drink behind But I think I might need more My hand in your hand feels so right The lights are focused on us It's gonna be a long night All night Dancing with you All night Dancing with you All night Dancing with you All night Dancing with you All night Dancing with you All night Dancing with you All night Dancing with you All night Dancing with you I feel you close to me Moving to the beat I've never been much of a mover I'm just tapping my feet We're making eye contact, it feels so right The lights are focused on us It's gonna be a long night All night Dancing with you All night Dancing with you All night Dancing with you All night Dancing with you All night Dancing with you All night Dancing with you All night Dancing with you All night Dancing with you You put me to shame You put me to shame You put me to shame You put me to shame You put me to shame You put me to shame You put me to shame All night Dancing with you All night Dancing with you All night Dancing with you All night Dancing with you All night Dancing with you All night Dancing with you All night Dancing with you All night Dancing with you

In your dreams 04:40

In your dreams you go anywhere In your dreams you're without a care In your dreams you can make it there You just don't want to wake up In your dreams you can fly so high Past the rooftops up in to the sky In your dreams you know precisely why You just don't want to wake up It's a terrible world out there I don't want to be Why you don't you get into this bed And dream next to me In your dreams you can grow or shrink Be anything of which you can think Save a continent destined to sink You just don't want to wake up In your dreams you are omnipotent Live in a mansion, paying zero rent Surround yourself with love and contentment You just don't want to wake up It's a terrible world out there I don't want to be Why you don't you get into this bed And dream next to me It's a terrible world out there I don't want to be Why you don't you get into this bed And dream next to me It's a terrible world out there I don't want to be Why you don't you get into this bed And dream next to me

The last picture we took 04:06

The last picture we took of us Together We thought time would stand still For ever We made a promise, you and me If you're unhappy, I'd set you free But I don't think I can do it I can't let you go I know it sounds so selfish But this, you have to know The last picture we took The last picture we took The last picture we took Is treasure Is treasure The last picture we took of home Together We never dreamt we'd be alone For ever We had so much to build on You never realise till it's gone But I don't think I can do it I can't let you go I know it sounds so selfish But this, you have to know The last picture we took The last picture we took The last picture we took Is treasure Is treasure But I don't think I can do it I can't let you go I know it sounds so selfish But this, you have to know The last picture we took The last picture we took The last picture we took Is treasure Is treasure Is treasure Is treasure Is treasure Is treasure Is treasure Is treasure Is treasure Is treasure

The face of understanding 04:58
lyrics
buy track
Driving me up the wall When I'm giving it my all Constantly on the ball Until Your comfort surrounding me I could take your hand and flee But then where would we be Stand still The face of understanding Is smiling back at me Another day draws to a close This thing we have nurtured grows Then there's an ill wind that blows Until You take me in your arms Your presence is such, it calms Protected from various harms Stand still The face of understanding Is smiling back at me Turblence will not last Will not last Will not last The face of understanding Is smiling back at me
