Smoove & Turrell Lyrics
Stratos Bleu
Let’s do it
Let’s do it, do it
Let’s do it
Let’s do it, do it
Come on and do it, do it
Do it till we’ve had enough
Come on and do it, do it
Do it till the sun comes up
There’s a lot we can take from the sun of our past
How do you count the seconds, oh how do you make them last
Don’t be afraid, time it keeps a rolling, your days are gonna come
Your day is gonna come
I know your hurting inside but you know it can’t last
Holding on to seconds, breath deal and let it pass
Don’t be afraid, time it keeps a rolling, your day is gonna come
Your days are gonna come
All that we do is be here now
And see it through
And we can’t wait to feel the drop
Come on and do it, do it
Do it till we’ve had enough
Come on and do it, do it
Do it till the sun comes up
We gotta do it, do it
Do it till we’ve had enough
Come on and do it, do it
Do it till the sun comes up
We ain’t got no time to lose, how long you got left
Holding onto hate breeds darkness in your chest
Don’t be afraid, time it keeps a rolling, your day is gonna come
Your days are gonna come
All that we do is be here now
And see it through
And we can’t wait to feel the drop
Come on and do it, do it
Do it till we’ve had enough
Come on and do it, do it
Do it till the sun comes up
We gotta do it, do it
Do it till we’ve had enough
Come on and do it, do it
Do it till the sun comes up
Come on and do it
Do it till we’ve had enough, do it
Come on and do it
Do it till the sun comes up, do it
We gotta do it
Do it till we’ve had enough, do it
Come on and do it
Do it till the sun comes up, do it
Come on and do it, do it
Do it till we’ve had enough, do it
Come on and do it, do it
Do it till the sun comes up, do it
We gotta do it, do it
Do it till we’ve had enough, do it
Come on and do it, do it
Do it till the sun comes up, do it
Come on and do it, do it
Do it till we’ve had enough, do it
Come on and do it, do it
Do it till the sun comes up
Oi!
Oi!
Oi!
Oi!
I spend my days on the road, my nights dreaming of home
It ain’t working so they say, it ain’t working
I lift my head above for now, cards are stacked I’m getting out
It ain’t working so they say, it ain’t working
I’m sick of being underground, lift my head and let me feel the air
I’m sick of knowing how but I can never seem to get there
Oh, I wonder how, I do what I do
Oi! Why do I do what I do? Oi!
I see the night’s closing in, can’t quite think of where I’ve been
It ain’t working so they say, it ain’t working
I keep my smile and how I lie, you can’t see times running out
It ain’t working so they say, it ain’t working
I’m sick of being underground, lift my head and let me feel the air
I’m sick of knowing how but I can never seem to get there
Oh, I wonder how, I do what I do
Oi! Why do I do what I do? Oi!
Lost days, sleepless nights, where have I been
Lost days, sleepless nights, wakey wakey
Lost days, sleepless nights, where have I been, Oi!
I spend my days on the road, my nights dreaming of home
It ain’t working so they say, it ain’t working
I lift my head above for now, cards are stacked I’m getting out
It ain’t working so they say, it ain’t working
I’m sick of being underground, lift my head and let me feel the air
I’m sick of knowing how but I can never seem to get there
Oh, I wonder how, I do what I do
Oi!, Oi!, Oi!, Oi!, Oi!, Oi!
The towers of Elgin reduced to ash
Jimmy Forsyth he took photos of brothers
The world wasn’t new but it felt like it too
What a lie!
How big are your dreams when you’re drowning in gutters
What a lie!
Ohh, who wants to feel that power?
Who wants to rule the world?
Who wants to live in castles?
And watch the others burn?
Who needs to feel that power?
Who needs to rule the world?
Who needs to live in castles?
And watch the others burn?
The climb of the Splitcrow Road where the rivers did die
The louder you scream don’t let them see you cry
How big are your dreams when you’re drowning in gutters
What a lie!
Ohh, who wants to feel that power?
Who wants to rule the world?
Who wants to live in castles?
And watch the others burn?
Who needs to feel that power?
Who needs to rule the world?
Who needs to live in castles?
And watch the others burn?
And we can’t give nothing, can’t give nothing no more
And we can’t give nothing, can’t give nothing no more
And we can’t give nothing, can’t give nothing no more
And we can’t give nothing, can’t give nothing no more
Ohh, who wants to feel that power?
Who wants to rule the world?
Who wants to live in castles?
And watch the others burn?
Who needs to feel that power?
Who needs to rule the world?
Who needs to live in castles?
And watch the others burn?
And we can’t give nothing, can’t give nothing no more, No more
And we can’t give nothing, can’t give nothing no more, No more
And we can’t give nothing, can’t give nothing no more, No, no more
And we can’t give nothing, can’t give nothing no more
And we can’t give nothing, can’t give nothing no more, they can’t take enough
And we can’t give nothing, can’t give nothing no more, No more
And we can’t give nothing, can’t give nothing no more, I can’t take no more
And we can’t give nothing, can’t give nothing no more
All we need is love
All we need is love
Let’s come together
Let’s come together right now
Let’s come together
Let’s come together
They take our time
Not enough to rule the world
They wanna have your mind
Hold back, don’t react, it ain’t worth it, no!
Dreams, colours
Psychotic kind of line, moving all the time
Don’t stop what we have and its loving
If we can get it right this time
We gotta, we gotta
If we can get it right this time
We gotta, we gotta
The stars above
Must have seen it all, every rise and every fall
Don’t stop what we have, keep moving
Our worlds collide
So easy to ignore, shifting all the time
Don’t stop what we need and its loving
If we can get it right this time
We gotta, we gotta
If we can get it right this time
We gotta, we gotta
If we can get it right this time
We gotta, we gotta
If we can get it right this time
We gotta, we gotta
All we need is love
Just love
Is love
Get it right, get it
If we can get it right, get it right
If we can get it right, get it
If we can get it right, get it right
If we can get it right, get it
If we can get it right, get it right
If we can get it right, get it
If we can get it right, get it right
If we can get it right this time
We gotta, we gotta
If we can get it right this time
We gotta, we gotta
All we need is love
All we need is love
Let’s come together
Let’s come together right now
Let’s come together
Let’s come together
I never wanted you more
I never wanted you more
I never wanted you more
I never wanted you more
I never wanted you more
I never wanted you more
I never wanted you more
I never wanted you more
Thanks to you for holding it down
Emerald green was bleached out in sonic sounds
Oh we can’t be lonely
Well our time doesn’t matter those equations lay in tatters
One more drink to help us all pretend
Faded sunset colours turn into a darker blend
We can’t be lonely
Our lives touch the line moving forward back in time
I never wanted you more
I never wanted you more
I never wanted you more
I never wanted you more
Spider scrawls across an empty page
Marks we leave a timeline in love and hate
We can’t be lonely
Broken nibs that shouldn’t matter, let the ink well spit and splatter
Much obliged for the colours that you bring
You are my sunshine, sienna and viridian
We can’t be lonely
Words as solid as a wall they won’t crumble they won’t fall
I never wanted you more
I never wanted you more
I never wanted you more
I never wanted you more
I never wanted you more
I never wanted you more
I never wanted you more
I never wanted you more
I never wanted you more
I never wanted you more
Yeah, ‘till it’s gone
I don’t know what I’ve got till it’s gone
Yeah, ‘till it’s gone
I don’t know what I’ve got till it’s gone
Talk is cheap and my words even cheaper
Pulling at straws but digging myself deeper
That look in your eyes, well tells me the whole story
Better leave right now, I don’t know what I’ve got till it’s gone
Yeah, till it’s gone
I don’t know what I’ve got till it’s gone
Yeah, till it’s gone
I don’t know what I’ve got till it’s
Big old eyes I know they just ain’t working
Devil on my shoulder sitting there a smirking
Them same old lies, well yes, it’s the same story
Better leave right now, I don’t know what I’ve got till it’s gone
Yeah, ‘till it’s gone
I don’t know what I’ve got till it’s gone
Yeah, ‘till it’s gone
I don’t know what I’ve got till it’s gone
You don’t know
you don’t know what you do to me
You don’t know
you don’t know what you do to me
And you don’t know
you don’t know what you do to me
And You don’t know
you don’t know what you do to me
Potions be potions keep this man alive
One is for boredom, the others to hide
I’ve got more scars than skin
You see where I’ve been
I’m not your hero tonight
Feeling the pressure, a sickness in bone
Holding the feather while your banging your drum
More hits and falls than a thousand bar brawls
I’m not your hero tonight
Emotional pleasure, when it comes up
Like the first time I drew breath
I ain’t come down yet
Emotional pleasure, and it don’t stop
Like the first time I drew blood
Thicker than the black mud
Emotions in motion, the rise and the fall
Keep it together while your feeling it all
I have made my mistakes, I got lost in the breaks
I’m not your hero tonight
A service to madness, let your mind be free
The hatters approaching while your sipping his tea
I got no one to blame and I don’t feel no shame
I’m not your hero tonight
Emotional pleasure, when it comes up
Like the first time I drew breath
I ain’t come down yet
Emotional pleasure, and it don’t stop
Like the first time I drew blood
Thicker than the black mud
Emotional pleasure, when it comes up
Emotional pleasure, and it don’t stop
Emotional pleasure, when it comes up
Emotional pleasure, woah
It’s you, it’s you
It’s you, it’s you
So you want to be famous, well I don’t care
Kept my nose clean, worked since I was sixteen
I want to be thankful and look where I got
So you wanna go crazy, I’ve been through that
Had my share of come downs, late nights out
I gotta be grateful to be where you’re not
And it’s you that’s been missing
Missing out
Cause it’s you that’s been missing out
Missing out
Tell me it’s worth it, don’t know about that
Made you all smile for a short while
I got to be hopeful, that this ain’t my lot
You’re so special, it ain’t my style
One in a million, another real nice try
You take the fun and blow it all away
And it’s you that’s been missing
Missing out
Cause it’s you that’s been missing out
Missing out
And it’s you that’s been missing
Missing out
Cause it’s you that’s been missing out
Missing out
It’s you, it’s you
Missing out
And it’s you that’s been missing
And it’s you that’s been missing out again.
Missing out
And it’s you that’s been missing
Cause it’s you that’s been missing out
And it’s you that’s been missing out again
Missing out
And it’s you that’s been missing
Cause it’s you that’s been missing out
And it’s you that’s been missing out again
Missing out
Missing out
Missing out
It’s you
Missing out
It’s you
Missing out
Missing out
Missing out
Missing out
Missing out
It’s you
It’s you
Apathetic feels electric when your feelings are totally skewed
When the colours of your life turn a dark and terrible blue
The fear, the anger, the pain is just an interlude
Where you’ve been living in the dark you need a spark to see you through
When all is lost, I’ll be your friend
We all feel it like you do, it’s not the end
When all is lost, I’m by your side
We can talk about nothing, you decide
Understand it like we know it, face the fear and push on through
Don’t hurt the thing that I’ve been loving, since I first saw you
The fear, the anger, the pain is just an interlude
Wonderful person that you are, you need to see it too
When all is lost, I’ll be your friend
We all feel it like you do, it’s not the end
When all is lost, I’m by your side
We can talk about nothing, you decide
Ahhh, we can talk about nothing
Ahhh, if it’s what you decide
Ahhh, we can talk about nothing
Ahhh, if it’s what you decide
Ahhh, we can talk about nothing
Ahhh, if it’s what you decide
Is it enough to get noticed enough to carry on
I can’t see the reason that you’ve been feeling so down so long
Your confidence has took a kicking
Open wounds you should be licking
Hung your dreams on a rusty nail
Has no meaning when you don’t feel, you fade away
Fade away, girl when you fade away
When you fade away
Fade away, when you fade away
Fade away, girl when you fade away
When you fade away
Fade away, when you fade away
Is it enough to feel wanted, enough to feel alright
Every lover, every man, you never wanted them in your life
I can see the reason why you’ve been beating so hard on yourself
You think you’re better, you think you’re bigger now you’ve been put on the highest shelf
When you fade away
Fade away, girl when you fade away
When you fade away
Fade away, when you fade away
Girl, you keep on fading away
Oh sugar you keep on fading, you keep on fading
Oh baby you keep on fading, you keep on fading away
Oh sugar you keep on fading, you keep on fading
Oh baby you keep on fading, you keep on fading away
Fade away, fade away
Fade away, fade away
Fade away, fade away
Fade away, fade away
When you fade away, girl, you keep on fading away
Fade away, girl when you fade away
When you fade away
Fade away, when you fade away
Girl, you keep on fading away
Oh sugar you keep on fading, you keep on fading
Oh baby you keep on fading, you keep on fading away
Fade away, you keep on fading away
Fade away, you keep on fading away
Solid Brass
Well my pad is very messy, got whiskers on my chin
Never had no problems ’cause I’ve always paid the rent
I got no time for lovin’
Cause my time is all used up
I stand outside creatin’
All the groovy kinds of love
I’m a man, yes I am and I can’t help but love you so
I’m a man, yes I am and I can’t help but love you so
If I had my choice of matter
I’d would rather be with cats
All engrossed in mental chatter
Showing where your mind is at
While relating to each other
How strong the love can be
By resisting all the good times with each groovy chick we see
I’m a man yes I am and I can’t help but love you so
I’m a man yes I am and I can’t help but love you so
I’ve got to keep my image
While I’m standing on the floor
If I drop upon my knees
It’s just to keep them on my nose
You think that I’m not human
And my heart is made of stone
But I’ve never had no problems
‘Cause my body’s pretty strong
I’m a man yes I am and I can’t help but love you so
I’m a man yes I am and I can’t help but love you so
I’m a man yes I am and I can’t help but love you so
If I had my choice of matter
I would rather be with cats
All engrossed in mental chatter
Showin’ where your mind is at
While relating to each other
How strong your love can be
By resisting all the good times with each groovy chick we see
I’m a man yes I am and I can’t help but love you so
I’m a man yes I am and I can’t help but love you so
I’m a man yes I am and I can’t help but love you so
I gotta keep my image
While I’m standin on the floor
If I drop upon my knees
It’s just to keep them on my nose
You think that I’m not human
And my heart is made of stone
But I never had no problems
‘Cause my body’s pretty strong
I’m a man, yes I am, and I can’t help but love you so
Man, yes I am, and I can’t help but love you so
Man, yes I am, and I can’t help but love you so
Man, yes I am, and I can’t help but love you so
Slow down your moving too fast
With your head strung out on all your maybes
Low down your moment has passed
To hang around well it just seems too crazy
All you got is what you had
Salted lines to keep them fresh
Always there but nothings changed
Even your lies remain the same
It’s what you do, it’s what you have
That we have not seen lately
It’s all a joke and such a laugh
How did it end up crazy
Shot down your record is scratched
No tune deserves to keep on playing
Broke down your dreams they have crashed
To the millions that you made this weekend
What you wear is all you own
No point talkin’ bout your stately home
Always there but nothings changed
Even your lies remain the same
It’s what you do, it’s what you have
That we have not seen lately
It’s all a joke and such a laugh
How did it end up crazy
The things you do, the thoughts you have
That we have not seen lately
It’s all a joke live in the past
How did it end up crazy
To the times when you said what you would do
To the lies always drip all over you
To the bluff aint enough to be your self now is it
To the lies that your friends have all seen through
To the times when the drugs took over you
To the bluff aint enough to be your self now is it
Slow down your moving too fast
With your head strung out on all your maybes
Low down your moment has passed
To hang around well it just seems too crazy
What you wear is all you own
No point talkin’ bout your stately home
Always there but nothings changed
Even your lies remain the same
It’s what you do, it’s what you have
That we have not seen lately
It’s all a joke and such a laugh
How did it end up crazy
The things you do, the thoughts you have
That we have not seen lately
It’s all a joke live in the past
How did it end up crazy
To the times when you said what you would do
To the lies always drip all over you
To the bluff aint enough to be your self now is it
To the lies that your friends have all seen through
To the times when the drugs took over you
To the bluff aint enough to be your self now is it
You could’ve been all right
You could’ve been here tonight
You could’ve been sweet as wine
You could’ve been a lady
You could’ve been all right
You could’ve been here tonight
You could’ve been sweet as wine
You could’ve been a lady
They all love you, you’re a good girl
When you awake you’ll find another man
Lying beside you
They all need you, they all want you
Well, I’ll be surprised if you realised
Where you’re going to
You could’ve been all right
You could’ve been here tonight
You could’ve been sweet as wine
You could’ve been a lady …
If I tell you where you’re going to
You’d laugh in my face, I’m out of place
Mind your business
They all want you to make love to
Well, I’ll be surprised if you realised
Where you’re going to
You could’ve been all right
You could’ve been here tonight
You could’ve been sweet as wine
You could’ve been a lady …
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na …
All right
You could’ve been here tonight
You could’ve been sweet
Melancholy madness let it slip away
Good things come back to you let me hear you say
Five days of hard working, could have been so much more
Can yawl tell me, what the weekends for?
Let go of your sadness, let it drift away
Good things come around in threes
And it’s the third of the third today
Aint no feeling better, than just to bring the noise
Wash of all your troubles and let me hear your voice
And dance, come on
Just one night your soul feels right
So let your self go and dance
Well come on
You know you got it in you now
So let your self go
Break the scene of silence, smash that quiet spell
Dance right through another night and let you feet do the work instead
Graft brings home the money; money makes the good times play
Holding back is just an act so let me see everybody sway
And dance, come on
Just one night your soul feels right
So let your self go and dance
Well come on
You know you got it in you now
So let your self go
It’s a nothing story but we’ve all been there before
What’s the point of all of this bringing you down?
Look across that room they stand with out a smile
Making up the numbers just isn’t right
And dance, come on
And dance, come on
let your self go baby
And dance, come on
Just one night your soul feels right
So let your self go and dance
Well come on
You know you got it in your self
So let your self go
Sure nuff got nothing left, well nothing in my hand
Turn out my pockets I don’t feel no hidden grand
There’s a hole in the wall well it spits in my face
Disgrace, now give me something!
Turn on the TV its media hysteria
Mortgage coming out and if can’t afford to be with y’
Girl the discos in but the drinks there not get your own
Global melt down
Yeah, yeah
I really feel the crunch
Yeah, yeah
Get to the beggermans disco
It’s a northern soul disco, cause we can’t afford the lights
We got a 40 watt bulb making every thing look all right
We got turn tables and speakers and duty free
Now give me something
Back to the old school live and in your ears
It’s a bring your own party so mines a pack of beers
Don’t let the bad times get you down
Those good times will come back around
So bring it on baby
Yeah, yeah
I really feel the crunch
Yeah, yeah
Get to the beggermans disco
Yeah, yeah
I really feel the crunch
Yeah, yeah

Now bring it on baby
Yeah, yeah
I really feel the crunch
Yeah, yeah
Get to the beggermans disco
Yeah, yeah
I really feel the crunch
Yeah, yeah
Get to the beggermans disco
I said hope it gets better, love the ones you love and disregard the rest
If it’s broke you best fix it, never giving up till you got nothing left
Up in smoke, it don’t matter, watch the flames burn there beautiful instead
Such a joke, but who’s laughing when you lost everything you ever seemed to have
Alright
And all I’m asking is that you’d be mine tonight
Come On
And all I’m asking is that you’d be mine tonight
Take your chance and don’t waste it, never fall in love to break a woman’s heart
If you can’t keep dreaming, you’ll be better off together than apart
If its love it gets better than the feeling that you said now was the one
You got to work and keep pushing, till you realise that feeling it is gone
Tell me the road is long, you walk I’ll follow on
Give you the things I never had
I’ll be there by your side, knowing that you are mine
We keep each other on the path
And all I’m asking is that you’d be mine tonight
Come On
And all I’m asking is that you’d be mine tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tell me the road is long, you walk I’ll follow on
Give you the things I never had
I’ll be there by your side, knowing that you are mine
We keep each other on the path
Tell me the road is long, you walk I’ll follow on
Give you the things I never had
I’ll be there by your side, knowing that you are mine
We keep each other on the path
And all I’m asking is that you’d be mine tonight
Come On
And all I’m asking is that you’d be mine tonight
Come On
And all I’m asking is that you’d be mine tonight
Come On, come on
And all I’m asking is that you’d be mine
Talk is cheap and my words even cheaper
Pulling at straws but digging myself deeper
That look in your eyes, well tells me the whole story
Better leave right now, I don’t know what I’ve got till it’s gone
Yeah, till its gone
I don’t know what I’ve got till it’s gone
Yeah, till its gone
I don’t know what I’ve got till it’s gone
Big old eyes I know they just ain’t working
Devil on my shoulder sitting there a smirking
Them same old lies, well yes its the same story
Gotta leave right now, I don’t know what I’ve got till it’s gone
Yeah, till its gone
I don’t know what I’ve got till it’s gone
Yeah, till its gone

You don’t know what you got till you lose it
You don’t know what you got
You don’t know, don’t know
You don’t know what you got
You don’t know what you got till you lose it
You don’t know, you don’t know what you do to me
You don’t know, you don’t know what you do to me
In the act or caught a short time later
This trouble I’m in well I know I’m the creator
Words they hurt and yours cut even deeper
Better leave right now, I don’t know what I’ve got till it’s gone
repeat x3
Yeah, till its gone
I don’t know what I’ve got till it’s gone
Yeah, till its gone
I don’t know what I’ve got till it’s gone
He don’t want nobody else why can’t I see it’s true
If I can’t stop just what I’m thinking what I put that woman through
I can’t see why it is, why I’ve got to treat him so bad
If I knew how she’s feeling does it make me more of a man?
If you’re gone, who am I gonna turn to now
When you’re gone, need you back just tell me how?
My mind’s gone now I know only you could be the one
I can’t sleep without knowing, girl it’s been way to long
If you’re gone, who am I gonna turn to now
When you’re gone, need you back just tell me how?
If you’re gone, who am I gonna turn to now
When you’re gone, need you back just tell me how?
Need you here right now, give me one last try…
Best times in my life now child well have been spent without you
Theres always something that is there that I just got a hang on to
You took away my pleasure baby and a filled it with something new
But pain ain’t what I’m needing now and theres nothing I can do
I can’t give you, never give you up
I can’t give you up now, never give you up
I can’t give you up now, never give you up
I can’t give you up now, never give you up
And all the friends well that I see, well tell me who, who is she
She’s messing with your mind now baby every time I turn to leave

Well tell me now

I can’t give you up now, never give you up
Trying to leave, well bring to get a breath on, Trying to real my style
Every time I turn around ad look at you I just want to pass out
You give me something I can’t handle but a creeping up on me
The love I need the love I breath, well its a something I can’t be
But tell me now
I can’t give you, never give you up
I can’t give you up now, never give you up
I can’t give you up now, never give you up
I can’t give you up now, never give you up
Repeat x12
Never give it, never gone a give it up
I can’t give you, never give you up
I can’t give you up now, never give you up
I can’t give you up now, never give you up
I can’t give you up now, never give you up
Came in from the city walked into the door
I turned around when i heard the sound of footsteps on the floor
Love just like addiction now i’m hooked on you
I need some time to get it right
Your love gonna see me through
Chorus
Can’t stop now don’t you know i ain’t never gonna let you go
Don’t go
Baby make your mind up give me what you got
Fix me with your lovin’ shut the door and turn the lock
Hey go get the doctor, doctor came too late
Another night i feel alright my love for you can’t wait
Chorus
Came in from the city walked into the door
I turned around when i heard the sound of footsteps on the floor
Said he was a killer, now i know it’s true i’m dead when you walkout the door
Hey babe i’m hooked on you
Repeat chorus
Don’t go, don’t go, don’t go…
How we gonna fix this if we break down all the time
Cover up the cracks that we gloss over all the while
No longer north or south just gaping hole divide
No longer you or me when money buys you every time
We’re broke, this place is broke
To the sound of the music that gets us down
We’re broke, this town is broke
To the sound of the music that gets you down
Picking up the pieces that’s been left out for far too long
No broken biscuits here just dust we stand upon
No right to grumble cause we all got our fair share
No piece of nothing is just nothing but a nightmare
We’re broke, this place is broke
To the sound of the music that gets us down
We’re broke, this town is broke
To the sound of the music that gets you down
Power be the broker, green works every time
Counting up the pennies of our lives is such a crime
We aint got nothing but the time we’re spending now
Let’s blow the bank and give it up to what we got to do
When we’re broke, this place is broke
To the sound of the music that gets us down
We’re broke, this town is broke
To the sound of the music
We’re broke, this place is broke
To the sound of the music that gets us down
We’re broke, this town is broke
To the sound of the music that gets you down
Said if you need me, why don’t you come along
If you don’t need me, how my gonna carry on
And if girl I need reviving give me your mouth to mouth
If you have been cheating the truth will surely out
Come on lay it on me, come on baby lay it on me
Is this the way that love has got to, got to be
Come on lay it on me, come on baby lay it on me
Is this the way that love supposed to, supposed to be
Girl if I’m hurting, well lay your hands on me
And if my mind can’t carry on please help me see
If I’m on fire please, please let me burn
If this feelings what I’m feeling, it’s enough to make a man’s head turn
Come on lay it on me, come on baby lay it on me
Is this the way that love has got to, got to be
Come on lay it on me, come on baby lay it on me
Is this the way that love supposed to, supposed to be
Lay it on
Lay it on me
Lay it on
Lay it on me
Girl if you need me, why don’t you come along
If you don’t need me, how my gonna carry on
And if girl I need reviving give me your mouth to mouth
If you have been cheating the truth will surely out
Come on lay it on me, come on baby lay it on me
Is this the way that love has got to, got to be
Come on lay it on me, come on baby lay it on me
Is this the way that love supposed to, supposed to be
Lay it on
Lay it on me
Lay it on
Lay it on me
Quarter past the hour, the world is closing down
The lights go off in Paris it’s the only time I’m found
Frankie’s in the hallway mines a homemade rum
We drink and laugh with my Romain until we see the sun
I feel alive, I feel alive oh you got to notice it’s the best times in our lives
I feel alive, I feel alive oh you got to notice it’s the best times in our lives
Rivers flow down Pigalle wash the night away we all meet up with Mehdi just about the break of day
Solace in the sunshine music is the key and we just keep on talking there’s no place I’d rather be
I’ve been giving my soul to music all that’s left is my pride
I’ve been giving my soul to music all that’s left is my pride
I’ve been giving my soul to music all that’s left is my pride
I’ve been giving my soul to music all that’s left is my pride
Getting old and agitated enemies are overrated
Take what you got and run
Too old to die young I got to live fast
Middle-aged rage on a nicotine patch
But I’m still here having fun
A steady hand in a situation
I keep my powder dry
Live on thirty minutes sleep cause I stay out all night
But I’m getting old and real frustrated
Every action deliberated
can I keep going on
When you love, you love the ones who give it
When you love, you love the ones who give it
When you love, you love the ones who give it back
Tell my story I’ll speakeasy never let it show
The path of most resistance is the one that I have chose
My time at hand my glass of sand my wasted years of youth
I’ll never change a thing I’ve done and that there is is the truth
Chorus
See it doesn’t really matter
You’re just another pretty face
You’re getting down it don’t mean nothing
Without your friends up in this place
And you know love don’t mean a thing
When you’re down on your own
And it’s the latest little pain you felt deep in your soul
See the night time aint so friendly
Specially in this darker place
Go break the bank and spend some money
Buy your self some thing to chase
And you know it don’t mean a thing
When you’re down on your own
And it’s the latest little pain you felt deep in your soul
Sink your self and all around you
Never think of consequence
Well going deeper in to music
Never think in present tense
And you know you don’t mean a thing
When you’re down on your own
And it’s the latest little pain you felt deep in your soul
And you know you don’t mean a thing
When you’re down on your own
And it’s the latest little pain you felt deep in your soul
See it doesn’t really matter
You’re just another pretty face
You’re getting down it don’t mean nothing
Without your friends up in this place
See the night time aint so friendly
Specially in this darker place
Go break the bank and spend some money
Buy your self some thing to chase
And you know you don’t mean a thing
When you’re down on your own
And it’s the latest little pain you felt deep in your soul
And you know you don’t mean a thing
When you’re down on your own
And it’s the latest little pain you felt deep in your soul
She don’t even like my mother
Guess its time to leave her dead
She got the hots for older brother
Yes believe that’s what I said
Girl gone mad she keeps on talking bout how she’s gonna live
Not with me oh lord, oh lord I got so much more to give
She’s hard work
Oh, she’s hard work
She’s too much for me
She’s hard work
Oh, she’s hard work
The girl is history
Oh my lord that woman’s a danger
Well especially round my friends
A glassy glance just one more dance
And a number in the hand
Girl gone mad she keeps on thinking that the boy he can not see
There aint no point hanging around cause the girl is history
She’s hard work
Oh, she’s hard work
She’s too much for me
She’s hard work
Oh, she’s hard work
The girl is history
Well man she’s got the deepest pockets
That I think I’ve ever seen
Not to bothered about the girls good loving
But I’m more concerned about the green
Girls gone mad she keeps on talking bout how I’m gonna work
I’m a singer not a grafter baby so I’d rather do my thing in church
She’s hard work
Oh, she’s hard work
She’s too much for me
She’s hard work
Oh, she’s hard work
The girl is history
You gave your everything but the truths still gonna hurt
Ain’t talking about futures child how you act on what you learnt
And then if you learned your lesson the pain is what it’s worth
Ooh and it’s gonna get ruff that’s why we put down on the earth
So have hope, what we believe in
So have love, still got the feeling
Everything that you worked for, don’t let it slip away
Well this loves a tough game yawl but I guess we all should play
Ain’t no love like the real thing, ain’t no feeling when it’s gone
It’s a space we’ve all been in; it’s a bridge we got to cross
So have hope, what we believe in
So have love, still got the feeling
So have hope, what we believe in
So have love, still got the feeling
So you want to get down with love, get down get down with love
So you want to get down with love, get down get down with love
So you want to get down with love, get down get down with love
Repeat x2
Have hope
Have love
So have hope, what we believe in
So have love, still got the feeling
So have hope, what we believe in
So have love, still got the feeling
Repeat to end
I get ya I get me back, I want ya, I’m wanting me to attack
My music makes money but it don’t do dick for me
I said my patter’s not funny I’m as shallow as a boy can be
A torture, torture myself with my songs
I’ll break ya and man it won’t take long
My music is my weapon and my sights are set on you
You better bring your whole family bring your sycophant army too
Alright
Got to create you so I can break you
You see I need to free you so I can be you
I’m Jekyll and baby you need to hide
Self-created I’m needing me by my side
No bully boy tactics from a million miles away
A head so full best believe I’m here to stay
And in my head I’ve been doing me wrong
Best believe I got it coming on
Just don’t treat me the right way
I’m gonna have it my own way
I feel ya I’m gonna feel your pain, I drive my, I drive myself insane
As I feel your temperature rising feel a meltdown coming too
Well we in this both together Mr Hyde you’re gonna lose
Mount Pleasant
I was low down and reckless you came to me
Failed at the first path you helped me see
Useless and helpless holding me
Longing for you to answer me
Whenever I need you there you’re always there for me
Whenever my head gets lost you always come to me
I was waiting for something for love to arrive
Hoping for your touch to feel alive
Timeless, forgiveness holding on
Longing for you to come along
Whenever I need you there you’re always there for me
Whenever my head gets lost you always come to me
Whenever I need you there you’re always there for me
Whenever my head gets lost you always come to me
You’re always there, whenever I need you
He don’t want nobody else why can’t I see it’s true
If I can’t stop just what I’m thinking what I put that woman through
I can’t see why it is, why I’ve got to treat him so bad
If I knew how she’s feeling does it make me more of a man?
If you’re gone, who am I gonna turn to now
When you’re gone, need you back just tell me how?
My mind’s gone now I know only you could be the one
I can’t sleep without knowing, girl it’s been way to long
If you’re gone, who am I gonna turn to now
When you’re gone, need you back just tell me how?
If you’re gone, who am I gonna turn to now
When you’re gone, need you back just tell me how?
Need you here right now, give me one last try…
I’m doing well my head’s in a better place I can look down there and see the sun rise once again
Now I’m feeling good I’ve given myself a taste of a life without those things that keep on pulling me down
I know that something better is gonna come along
Feel it know what I’ve been doing wrong
One last time I’m gonna bring it on home
The perfect life, the lies we tell, we hide inside a broken shell
The tears we cry well let them heal your pain
And you’ll bounce back again
The perfect picture the same old pose, well how you’re feeling well no one knows
A life on line we show to protect ourselves
Well I’m feeling great I’ve given myself the space
I can smile and laugh out loud don’t you be dragging me down
I need to unwind, been giving my brain a break got a life without those thoughts that keep on hanging around
Why’s there no love in this room when I see goodness all over
News that spews out 24 keeps on dragging us down
Life offers so much but we choose so very little
If we could have it all there’d be no body in the middle
The rich hate the poor cause at times they’ve gotta pay them
We all gotta work to put something on the table
Ain’t no body gonna tell us no, no more
We need a hate seeking missile made from you and me
A hate seeking missile for humanity
We gotta bottle it up before the fear spreads fast
We need a hate seeking missile and we need it fast
Why’s there no good in this land when we all should be together
News that’s built on hatred keeps on bringing us down
A world that gives much but we see so very little
This island is an island and it’s breaking my heart
A conviction of kindness where greed won’t win
A conviction of love where there is no sin
Ain’t no body gonna tell us no, no more
Billy played the game of working everyday with her phone held in her hand every swipe another man
Café life lunch breakfast dinner take away yet for her it wasn’t right had to work another night
Billy tell me what’s gone wrong, had enough you gotta carry on
You don’t need no saviour now
Billy tell me where you hide if you need me now we can make it right
But you don’t want no man around
He said I don’t care if it’s right or wrong just hold me there, safe in your arms
He said I don’t care cause it’s been to long just hold me there till the morning comes
Billy brought herself into this other world all she knew was to survive never question never thrive
Just to have those feelings gently ripped away another man to hold her head as she sank into that bed
Chip fat and dust the smell of the 80s living on a Gateshead hill
Blue pop and sweets delivered by the Sky man
I wonder what made us ill
The milk boys on rounds making all the money
Spent it wisely on cigarettes no time for alphabets
Now they’re cleaning windows and looking at your world
From the outside, from the outside
From the outside, from the outside
Kids en masse hiding in the back lanes I wonder if they play it now
Mount Pleasant club packed out on a Sunday
Will the turn please take a bow?
No job in sight your giro’s in the Shakespeare
Just enough for cigarettes the bookies certain bet
Your kids outside the window are looking at your world
From the outside, from the outside
From the outside, from the outside
If I could be there once again, dreams we had and lost back then
You know that I wouldn’t change a thing
If we could be there once again in my heart I’d have everything
And it would be strange wouldn’t it be nice just one last time
Just one last time ……………
Quarter past the hour, the world is closing down
The lights go off in Paris it’s the only time I’m found
Frankie’s in the hallway mines a homemade rum
We drink and laugh with my Romain until we see the sun
I feel alive, I feel alive oh you got to notice it’s the best times in our lives
I feel alive, I feel alive oh you got to notice it’s the best times in our lives
Rivers flow down Pigalle wash the night away we all meet up with Mehdi just about the break of day
Solace in the sunshine music is the key and we just keep on talking there’s no place I’d rather be
I’ve been giving my soul to music all that’s left is my pride
I’ve been giving my soul to music all that’s left is my pride
I’ve been giving my soul to music all that’s left is my pride
I’ve been giving my soul to music all that’s left is my pride

As I feel your temperature rising feel a meltdown coming too
Well we in this both together Mr Hyde you’re gonna lose
Debt is the start of your slavery
You get that little bit of plastic it’s not clear to see
That you’ll be shackled to these chains until the day you don’t breathe. So stop and hold breath.
Dance to my algorithm dance to my song
I’ll give you lots of credit it won’t take long I have no interest in your interests only interest in this bond, so stop you can’t hide
Oh I could give it up tomorrow if I didn’t have these flames to feed
Oh I could give it up tomorrow if I didn’t love to see your greed
Green are the colour of these eyes of mine
Just sign this bit of paper your soul gets time I’ll take you down to heaven and I’ll make you toe my line hold back and don’t think
Oh I could give it up tomorrow if I didn’t have these flames to feed
Oh I could give it up tomorrow if I didn’t love to see your greed
And all of this accounts for nothing my account with you is till the day you die
And then ill slowly take you under and I’ll make you drink my blood red wine
I’m sorry did you just speak or did I hear you wrong
Time’s waiting but time’s a killer if you wait too long
Created a world where we could truly understand
These words they feel much better when they’re underhand
Anticipated the way you always try to make me feel
It’s overrated those lies you tell me I just love to hear
I love that kinda lie, I love that kinda lie
Oo I love that kinda lie, I love that kinda lie
And whether or not we can both misunderstand
This thing that we got is the best thing that we’ve had
Anticipated the way you always try to make me feel
It’s overrated those lies you tell me I just love to hear
I love that kinda lie, I love that kinda lie
Oo I love that kinda lie, I love that kinda lie
I love that kinda lie…………………….
I’m sorry did you just speak or did I hear you wrong
Times waiting but times a killer if you wait too long
This small town on a tiny Island
Biggest fish in the puddle we found
We had it all worked out now we’re ripping up pages
Too long gone to turn it around
We thought we were better, better than the rest
We thought we were smarter but we couldn’t pass the tests
We though we were brighter all just in our heads
Go figure it out
I’ll hold it down there, seems to me they just don’t care
I’ll hold it down my friend easier for me right there
This small house in the north of England
Paper over cracks in the ground
We had it all worked out now we’re lost in the basement
Too long gone to figure it out
We thought we were better, better than the rest
We thought we were smarter but we couldn’t pass the tests
We though we were brighter all just in our heads
Go figure it out
I’ll hold it down there, seems to me they just don’t care
I’ll hold it down my friend easier for me right there
I’ll hold it down there, seems to me they just don’t care
I’ll hold it down my friend easier for me right there
Crown Posada
Who said love don’t hurt
One day you got it then nothing and your whole world falls apart
They say its fools who rush straight in
You just can’t stop the drop in your heart when a girl walks in
Ain’t no point in trying if we’re losing we cannot keep it together
Ain’t no point in trying if we’re losing we cannot keep it together
They say it’s time that heals all wounds
It’s like a cut in your heart when a girl walks out on you
Ain’t no point in trying if we’re losing we cannot keep it together
Ain’t no point in trying if we’re losing we cannot keep it together
I said girl tell me what’s wrong
It’s just one more thing just to get our heads round
I said girl tell me what’s wrong
It’s just one more thing that’ll drive us crazy
And you my girl are all I want
You give me love so don’t give up
I said girl tell me what’s wrong
It’s just one more thing just to get our heads round
Now girl what can I do a stupid feeling that you want me too
I try to do the best with what we have
And I know it’ll be alright it ain’t over
We can put things right
Don’t walk away after all that we’ve been through
Ain’t no point in trying if we’re losing we cannot keep it together
Ain’t no point in trying if we’re losing we cannot keep it together
I said girl tell me what’s wrong
It’s just one more thing just to get our heads round
I said girl tell me what’s wrong
It’s just one more thing that’ll drive us crazy
And you my girl are all I want
You give me love so don’t give up
I said girl tell me what’s wrong
It’s just one more thing just to get our heads round
Passed the point of no return she chopped all that she owned
Tried to get her head on straight she crashed and then she burned
Smoke filled room and the yellow tar of a thousand lonely nights
The loves the doves the pink champagne she put up quite a fight
Memories are a far off thing they’re cushioned by the flour
Laughing till her chest it burned who cares it doesn’t matter
Giving it all again I think she’ll take it back
Giving it all again let’s see how she reacts
If a life just ain’t worth living give it up that’s just a fact
Giving it all again I think she’ll take it back
A face that shows a hundred lines and she’s taken every one
Bad cuts and butts in stereo sound her head is nearly gone
Smoke filled lungs and the empty hum of a life that started well
Those hits that she has taken, straight driven her to hell
Shadow friends at all loose ends they’ve taken what there given
Little birds all in a nest they think that this is living
Giving it all again I think she’ll take it back
Giving it all again let’s see how she reacts
If a life just ain’t worth living give it up that’s just a fact
Giving it all again I think she’ll take it back
50 days of winter and the walls are closing in
I ain’t seen no one for ages no one knows where I have been
Well my twitter feed is empty the birds have lost their voice
And I ran down all my batteries I just can’t stand the noise
50 days of winter and I cannot find the light
I’ve bout given up the ghost cause he never treat me right
Well I blazed a path to zero the heat just made me cold
Now I’m living in this shelter the ghost just made me fold
Well I’ve been living a lie, seems like each time I try
Here comes the better man and takes it over
I’ve been stuck on a lie seems like each time I try
Here comes the better man and takes it over
50 days of winter and I’ve kicked down every door
I can’t stand to hear the talking so I just don’t talk no more
Well my head is nearly empty the space just fills the void
And my pulse just keeps repeating the beat goes on and on
Well I’ve been living a lie, seems like each time I try
Here comes the better man and takes it over
I’ve been stuck on a lie seems like each time I try
Here comes the better man and takes it over
And I’ve been living a lie seems like each time I try
Is this the way it’s got to be
50 days of winter taking over me
And I’ve been living a lie seems like each time I try
Is this the way it’s got to be
50 days of winter taking over me
Well I’ve been living a lie, seems like each time I try
Here comes the better man and takes it over
I’ve been stuck on a lie seems like each time I try
Here comes the better man and takes it over
Dealers on their BMX’s dropping off tenner’s for the homeless wretches
Is this what we’ve become?
From a living wage to a banker’s bonus the pennies dropped but no one’s noticed
Cause spending money is fun
We wear our riches in our match day clothes
Cut the cloth so much its cold
We’re living life on the run
Come bring in the noise if you’re feeling you’ve had enough of this
Come bring in the noise if you want it don’t take your little bit
And I feel it all every pain every life they’ve hit well bring it on
Oh now the love has gone
Life is driven by the corporations they got more money than the whole damn nation
Then they can rule everyone
In a one percent of the new world order have you got the cash to cross that border?
Then we could take everyone
We wear our riches in our match day clothes
Cut the cloth so much its cold
We’re living life on the run
Come bring in the noise if you’re feeling you’ve had enough of this
Come bring in the noise if you want it don’t take your little bit
And I feel it all every pain every life they’ve hit well bring it on
Oh now the love has gone
If the loves gone cold, If the loves gone cold, If the loves gone cold
Only way we’ll make it is to get together
If the loves gone cold, If the loves gone cold, If the loves gone cold
Only way we’ll make it is to get together
Come bring in the noise if you’re feeling you’ve had enough of this
Come bring in the noise if you want it don’t take your little bit
And I feel it all every pain every life they’ve hit well bring it on
Oh now the love has gone
It’s been 25 years since the glue bag flags
Oh my god I wasted every day
Running so free on Calbert’s Field
How I long to feel that young again
Made my money sold a dirty mag
He gonna hide it I steel it back
Made my addiction bought a single tab
Oh my lord I wish I never had
20 years of madness trying to get loaded
It all just feels the same
Breaks that I’ve been making some I should have taken
I got myself to blame
Oh stop, listen hear the sound
Everybody talking but it’s just too loud
Stop listen hold the line
Everybody’s dancin’ but their out of time
I said so fast when you gonna learn
People they be thinking we got time to burn
Stop, listen feel the beat
Everybody dancing to the same old shit
Now its 35 degrees in the back of this van
Oh my god I’m cooking like a ham
Making my money building up this tan
Working hard I’m doing all I can
Youth was wasted on a reckless man
Now he can’t find it or bring it back
Repeat bridge chorus
Making my money
Making my money
Repeat
Chorus
From the land of molten steel he was born straight from the brazier
Not a choice a flame he had to feed
From the furnace to the slag heap never used to feeling no heat
A family needs its butter now it’s gone
From the ashes he would rise full of anger in his eyes
Made of flames and hell fire was his name
From the ashes to the canvas used to feeling low hits
Another fight another man to maim
And he will fight on, till the hopes gone
Red letter days and all the bills he needs to pay
And he will fight on, till the hopes gone
Red letter days and all the bills he needs to pay
From the north east of this land never once a helping hand
As Redcar closed it went up in a haze
But he knew it wasn’t right when nothings left you have to fight
When all is gone you learn to find a way
From the ashes he would rise full of anger in his eyes
Made of flames and hell fire was his name
From the ashes to the canvas used to feeling low hits
Another fight another man to maim
And he will fight on, till the hopes gone
Red letter days and all the bills he needs to pay
And he will fight on, till the hopes gone
Red letter days and all the bills he needs to pay
The fog muffled sound of those warmly shod feet
As Jackie calls time press pause then repeat
I’ve ruined my body I’ve damaged my mind
So the only way forward, press stop then rewind
It’s my Crown Posada my ship with no sails
Always goes nowhere and it always remains
The truest of rooms for the hardest of hearts
As Nicholson calls my life has to start
The lights are dimmed low in the corner I’ll stand
The sung is all empty just a part of the plan
A lifetime in music a thousand lost days
I’d give up my soul just so you could press play
It’s my Crown Posada my ship with no sails
Always goes nowhere and it always remains
The truest of rooms for the hardest of hearts
As Nicholson calls my life has to start
So all hands please help me see
I need you here rescue me
So all hands please help me see
I need you here rescue me
It’s my Crown Posada my ship with no sails
Always goes nowhere and it always remains
The truest of rooms for the hardest of hearts
As Nicholson calls my life has to start
Come with me, follow me, we have all we need
Come with me, follow me, eternally
Come with me, follow me, we have all we need
Come with me, follow me, eternally
City bathed in neon light the angels crouched in doorways as we made our way through bars
The smokers in their huddles from the wind that bites on these cold nights in a town that we call ours
Well I am good but I’ll be forgotten raise a glass drink to the bottom
It was love and that’s a start
Cause your my one my true familiar I could lose myself and all I have just by looking in your eyes
So don’t let it die slowly
Don’t let it go bad
You’re more than I’ve ever dreamed
More than this man should have
And if we could start again on that cold winter night
Cause living without you oh without you
The rainfall turned the cobbles jet as we walked home on precious stones
We weren’t rich but all was ours
Well I never really hit the heights of the man you loved on those cold nights it was written in the stars
Well I’m not bad but I’ll be forgotten drain the dregs out of this bottle toast our time and pass the hours
Cause your my one my true familiar I could lose myself and all I have just by looking in your eyes
So don’t let it die slowly
Don’t let it go bad
You’re more than I’ve ever dreamed
More than this man should have
And if we could start again on that cold winter night
Cause living without you oh without you
Don’t let it die slowly
Don’t let it go bad
You’re more than I’ve ever dreamed
More than this man should have
And if we could start again on that cold winter night
Cause living without you oh without you
Don’t seem right
Slave to the blue if that’s what you want

Growth big life short, we’re drones to the hive

You say you’re giving me freedom
But you’re telling me lies straight to my bones
Give me Grace but three pint of Jones
You say you’re giving me freedom
But you’re telling me lies straight to my bones
Tears that fell tonight will dry on their own

Where are you old England? Fly tippers, radges and rouges
No pleasant is present, No room now for the old
Where are you my beauty? A concrete crumbling joke
A war field my fate sealed the lies that we’ve been told
And we built Jerusalem on water and wet sand
Watch it crumble oh how it crumbles into the sea
And we built this pleasant land by workers and their hands
Now it crumbles oh how it crumbles just for their greed
Where are you my green fields the blades that slashed my soul?
This torment my lament of all the good we hold
Where are you my weapon a bow of burning gold?
This last dance our last chance we gotta take back all we own
And we built Jerusalem on water and wet sand
Watch it crumble oh how it crumbles into the sea
And we built this pleasant land by workers and their hands
Now it crumbles oh how it crumbles just for their greed
Broken Toys
You gave your everything but the truths still gonna hurt
Ain’t talking about futures child how you act on what you learnt
And then if you learned your lesson the pain is what it’s worth
Ooh and it’s gonna get ruff that’s why we put down on the earth
So have hope, what we believe in
So have love, still got the feeling
Everything that you worked for, don’t let it slip away
Well this loves a tough game yawl but I guess we all should play
Ain’t no love like the real thing, ain’t no feeling when it’s gone
It’s a space we’ve all been in; it’s a bridge we got to cross
So have hope, what we believe in
So have love, still got the feeling
So have hope, what we believe in
So have love, still got the feeling
So you want to get down with love, get down get down with love
So you want to get down with love, get down get down with love

I said hope it gets better, love the ones you love and disregard the rest
If it’s broke you best fix it, never giving up till you got nothing left
Up in smoke, it don’t matter, watch the flames burn there beautiful instead
Such a joke, but who’s laughing when you lost everything you ever seemed to have
Alright
And all I’m asking is that you’d be mine tonight
Come On
And all I’m asking is that you’d be mine tonight
Take your chance and don’t waste it, never fall in love to break a woman’s heart
If you can’t keep dreaming, you’ll be better off together than apart
If its love it gets better than the feeling that you said now was the one
You got to work and keep pushing, till you realise that feeling it is gone
Tell me the road is long, you walk I’ll follow on
Give you the things I never had
I’ll be there by your side, knowing that you are mine

Hold up when the sun is rising, show up to a day of life
We got no time for thinking about our daily strife

Nothing in this hand but a joker and a fool
Trying to keep composer trying to act to cool
If girl I’ve been mistaken play your hand and walk away
I need to know your calling so I can play another day
I can’t stand for another man to have you in his arms
I can’t stand for another man to soak up all your charms
Give me time to play my hand I know we will be alright
I can’t fold without you girl, without putting up a fight
Games we play, I don’t mess around I play to win
Girl I know, I can’t mess around I play to win

Roll me all around your board and see where I turn up
Giving me the snake eyes just a bite a deadly cut
I can’t stop from loving you a chance I got to take
Throw in all my money, hope that bank is gonna break
I can’t stand for another man to kiss your tender lips
I can’t stand for another hand to touch you on your hips
Games we play, I don’t mess around I play to win
Girl I know, I can’t mess around I play to win
I play to win
Never take those evens I’m the oddest of them all

Chorus repeat x 2
Three, four it got me on a kind of a lock down
And it gets so ruff believe what I say
Three kids that job that kind of leads to a break down
But it’s all I got and it’s the type that pays
Sewn up so tight a man needs just to break out
And just run so fast and try to get away
If I’m out of site I let the walls come crashing in
Come on do your worst ‘cause that’s the way I play
People keep talking telling all about that I’m a let down
I’ve just had enough, I’m gonna give it away
People keep talking telling all about that I’m a let down
I can’t give it up I’m just a moment away
So dry my mouth all I need is a dust down
And I’ll fill my cup and watch it flow away
If you came to fight let the fists come crashing in
But don’t shoot your guns that ain’t the manly way
People keep talking telling all about that I’m a let down
I’ve just had enough, I’m gonna give it away
People keep talking telling all about that I’m a let down
I can’t give it up I’m just a moment away
Oh…..
Alright now
People keep talking telling all about that I’m a let down
I’ve just had enough, I’m gonna give it away
People keep talking telling all about that I’m a let down
I can’t give it up I’m just a moment away

Giving it up is easy, give it up and throw it all away
If making it work ain’t working, tell me quick so baby I don’t stay
Nothing like this is easy, how we gonna make it through the day
If talking becomes a minefield well let us run and blow it all away
How my gonna get it through to your heart and your head
That I’m always, I’ll be there
Every single time you need a man and a friend
Always
Breaking a heart is easy, don’t let it break and hide it all away
If holding the pain keeps hurting baby won’t you scream it all away
Nothing becomes a nightmare if everything is brighter than the day
If you can’t be alone now well tell me girl and baby I will stay
How my gonna get it through to your heart and your head
That I’m always, I’ll be there
Every single time you need a man and a friend
Always
Everything is easy when
The love you have is realer than the time we spend
On things that just don’t matter when you’re gone
It’s easy when
The love you have is realer than the time we spend
On things that just don’t matter when you’re gone
On things that just don’t matter when you’re gone
When you’re gone
Giving it up is easy, give it up and throw it all away
If making it work ain’t working, tell me quick so baby I don’t stay
Nothing becomes a nightmare if everything is brighter than the day
If you can’t be alone now well tell me girl and baby I will stay

Breaking rocks all day just to get a bit of pay, just to take you out
Girl I ain’t afraid of spending but this money I’ve been lending gets me down
We’re only living now and then
Get our money go all in, is this it all?
We break our backs to make it pay
Then we’re broke on the same day
Now feel the fall
I just want more
Enough to give and enough to have you
I’ve been round I’m sure
Enough to know that I’ve got you in my life
It’s just a crazy way of living when it’s time we should be giving to each other love
Like we’re young in love again, feel the music once again and have it all
We can have what we can take
As long as love is what we make we got a feeling now
It’s not the end it’s where we start and I can never be apart when love is all
I just want more
Enough to give and enough to have you
I’ve been round I’m sure
Enough to know that I’ve got you in my life
Always a single day behind and just a little penny short
We’ve been living day to day and we’ve been close to getting caught
If we wake up on the right side instead of sleeping in the dirt
Got to look past all the bad times the pain and all the hurt
I just want more
Enough to give and enough to have you
I’ve been round I’m sure
Enough to know that I’ve got you
I just want more
Enough to give and enough to have you
I’ve been round I’m sure
Enough to know that I’ve got you in my life
Always a single day behind and just a little penny short
We’ve been living day to day and we’ve been close to getting caught
If we wake up on the right side instead of sleeping in the dirt
Got to look past all the bad times the pain and all the hurt

Look at my big brown shoes; they really get me in the mood
Look at my squirty flower, I’m gonna get to you in about an hour
Look at my stretchy braces, I’m gonna rub custard in all of your faces
Look at this bucket I got you think its water I know that it’s not
I’m an entertainer at the fair
You may laugh at my huge orange hair
I will entertain you
I will entertain you
I will entertain you till I drop
Until I drop
Look at my crazy car, doors fall off it doesn’t go too far
Look at my big balloons Alan the bunch is so big it fills up the room
I’m an entertainer, well at the fair
You may laugh at my huge orange hair
I will entertain you
I will entertain you
I will entertain you till I drop
Until I drop
Rolly polly I fall over my shoes
I’m down and out with these clowning blues
See the ladder, three hundred feet high
I got to dive of it straight into a pie
Singing
I will entertain you
I will entertain you
I will entertain you till I drop
Singing
I will entertain you
I will entertain you
I will entertain you till I drop
Well I’m down on my knees and I’m begging please
Won’t you set this cannon alight?
And I’m down on this hose and these squeaky toes; I got to get myself a life
Tears of a clown they keep falling down I hope my make up stays alright
But I’m here till the end the fat lady sings ‘cause the big tops out a sight
And then I drop
Jack draped neatly across a wooden chest
Babies leaving babies at their mother’s chest
And they all tell stories when they come home to rest
Talk about it all
Slap dash Harry raise a drink behind the bar
Wearing his ribbons he can talk about them all
To us another story but to him he seen them fall
Talk about it all, about it all
Well about all your troubles and all your friends
Talk about the worst times those dreams they never end
Talk about your freedom granted that’s for sure
Talk about the times when you can’t take no more
Queens and countries need their little boys
Playing with their lives like their their latest toys
But it ain’t Jack who’s been there sits at home with the rest
Talk about it all, about it all
Well about all your troubles and all your friends
Talk about the worst times those dreams they never end
Talk about your freedom granted that’s for sure
Talk about the times when you can’t take no more
Line those streets with their fallen friends
Looking in their eyes and you can never understand
Now the boys are just forgotten left to get on with it all
Talk about them all, about them all
Well about all your troubles and all your friends
Talk about the worst times those dreams they never end
Talk about your freedom granted that’s for sure
Talk about the times when they can’t take no more

She got the money, dripping gold like honey
Got the claws to match to bring you back ain’t nothing gonna stop her
One woman army of Gucci and Armani
Circuits not right she loves to fight and then go out and party
Oh I should have given you up
Oh I should have given you up
False beauty queen, change in a limousine
In rented dress the girls no mess the camera seems to love her
A twisted mind, beauty intertwined
From the belly of the beast there’s no release
Ain’t nothing gonna stop her
Oh I should have given you up
Oh I should have given you up
No one can deny that the girls a wicked lie but she’s my lie
People always talking say this boy should just be walking but it’s my life
That the girl is just a tramp watch your money, watch your back it’s a gold trap
If you don’t then you will fall, that’s the beauty of it all, this is real life
She loves a white line even through the daytime
Y’all have no doubt the girls got clout she always gets her own way
A broken doll, feelings they are gone if she stamps her feet you best retreat
Then run yourself the wrong way
Oh I should have given you up

Now, now, now
Oh I should have given you up

Spread out at our feet a road that has no end
Sometimes cold and lonely, sometimes hard to lose a friend
If all ends up for nothing, nothing ain’t gonna pay
But we’ll all just keep on walking drop our feet and hope to say
I’m coming home, hold on to the light
If you’re feeling what I’m feeling then you know it’s gonna be alright
Hold on to the blister, hold on to the pain
I’m coming home it’ll never be the same, I’m coming home
File right in to line tread the road your gonna take
You’ll never stop the feeling you missed the turn you missed the break
Hear that call for home time don’t you stop or hesitate
Just run along now baby this thing it cannot wait
Baby don’t stop till you’re gone
I’m coming home, hold on to the light
If you’re feeling what I’m feeling then you know it’s gonna be alright
Hold on to the blister, hold on to the pain
I’m coming home it’ll never be the same, I’m coming home
You work you just keep walking
You laugh you start to run
You stop and you’re in trouble
You don’t pause until you’re done
You wait it’s all for nothing
And pray it just don’t work
Drop right to your knees and feel the darkness from above
Baby I’ll stop when I’m done
I’m coming home, hold on to the light
If you’re feeling what I’m feeling then you know it’s gonna be alright
Hold on to the blister, hold on to the pain

You’re face it stood out like a bombed out house on the terrace
Where all looked the same your beauty remained you’re the vision the song in my head
When all stopped to stand by the touch of your hand I was honest
Honestly told you life couldn’t hold you a shadow the ghost in my heart
And if I took the time you’d be mine last forever
Be true now or never like it’s the first time
And in truth I’d be yours hold me close say what ever
A life lost in ether lost in your arms
The break neck speed that I took to your lead I was smitten
When all wasn’t there you’re the one who would care your my Turner my real work of art
Like the bitterest pill I was lost in the thrill I was broken
I was bashed up and torn, I was splintered thread warn but you kissed me and I was alive
And if I took the time you’d be mine last forever
Be true now or never like it’s the first time
And in truth I’d be yours hold me close say what ever
A life lost in ether lost in your arms
If I was alone, so alone, just a drunken stranger
I’d never see that in your eyes
So alone, so alone a man in danger
I’d run to you as I have done all my life
You’re face it stood out like a bombed out house on the terrace
Where all looked the same your beauty remained you’re the vision the song in my head
Where all stopped to stand by the touch of your hand I was honest

Cause your higher, than yourself, oh yeah
You think that all of this matters. Their total back stabbers
Look around at who you become

Man it’s your own creation
Worst of all your smug and proud
Behind your little glass screen
Trying hard to breath but you can’t

With your head strung out on all your maybes
Low down your moment has passed
To hang around well it just seems too crazy
All you got is what you had
Salted lines to keep them fresh
Always there but nothings changed
Even your lies remain the same
It’s what you do, it’s what you have
That we have not seen lately
It’s all a joke and such a laugh
How did it end up crazy
Shot down your record is scratched
No tune deserves to keep on playing
Broke down your dreams they have crashed
To the millions that you made this weekend
What you wear is all you own
No point talkin’ bout your stately home
Always there but nothings changed
Even your lies remain the same
It’s what you do, it’s what you have
That we have not seen lately
It’s all a joke and such a laugh

It’s all a joke live in the past
How did it end up crazy

To the lies always drip all over you
To the bluff aint enough to be your self now is it
To the lies that your friends have all seen through
To the times when the drugs took over you
To the bluff aint enough to be your self now is it
Slow down your moving too fast

See it doesn’t really matter
You’re just another pretty face
You’re getting down it don’t mean nothing
Without your friends up in this place
And you know love don’t mean a thing
When you’re down on your own
And it’s the latest little pain you felt deep in your soul
See the night time aint so friendly
Specially in this darker place
Go break the bank and spend some money
Buy your self some thing to chase
And you know it don’t mean a thing
When you’re down on your own
And it’s the latest little pain you felt deep in your soul
Sink your self and all around you
Never think of consequence
Well going deeper in to music
Never think in present tense
And you know you don’t mean a thing
When you’re down on your own
And it’s the latest little pain you felt deep in your soul
And you know you don’t mean a thing

Don’t let me be the walking man
Don’t let it change all of my ways
Like a shot I need to feed my ego
Still I don’t come down for days
Don’t let me be the wasted man
Lucid skin wrapped round dead eyes
Well all of this means nothing
If you don’t help me realise
Don’t let me be the tortured man
Everything he had is long gone
No point looking forward
When all I have is what I want
Cause I need this baby life is crazy we’re easily pushed aside
And I feel it baby nothing makes me this thing I am inside
So I need you baby you’re all I have that keeps me feeling right
So now’s the time I’m telling you to cut me down to size
Oh
Well cut me down, oh down, oh down, oh down
To size
Don’t let me be the lonely man
I’ve met him once before
Well pushing all others that try to hold him
Who, because he lost well so much more
Don’t let me be the hapless man
Living life that don’t mean a thing
Well bringing home all the money, yeah
But no one to share it with
Cause I need this baby life is crazy we’re easily pushed aside
And I feel it baby nothing makes me this thing I am inside
So I need you baby you’re all I have that keeps me feeling right
So now’s the time I’m telling you to cut me down to size
Oh
Well cut me down, oh down, oh down, oh down
To size
I met my self in 20 years time
It was a shadow, it was not me
I looked around and I was sickened to think
Is this all my life could be
Stepped off the train, well home again
Three years away, now a brand new start
Nothing to show but a bag of clothes
And all my memories hidden deep within my heart
Chorus
I got to change, ain’t no point
In doin the same foolish things again
I got to change
Something’s gotta change, either me
Or my life will slowly fall apart
I got to change
You see these men that we all know
Well working seven days a week
Give all their money to the barman
And pittance for their wives to keep
Well it’s an easy trap I fell into
A different way of life
Spend what earned the rest I burned
Drinking to sleep well every night
Chorus
I got to change, ain’t no point
In do in the same foolish things again
I got to change
Something’s gotta change, either me
Or my life will slowly fall apart
I got to change
Battalions of bedlam boys hit the town every night
Clenched up fist, drunken tongue bound to cause a fight
Outsiders in their home town bars with the blacked out windows
And the burned out cars, kids drinking under the moon lit stars
No money in the bank
When the holes closed and the black stuff goes
All is left is drugs and holes
From the high lights to the low lights
No longer hear Swans sing
No longer cranes up in the sky they crashed and fell to earth
And the kids kick round with nothing to do
It’s been their right from birth
Oh, how you gonna turn back time
Money
Not what we’re thinking of, nothing but a straight up lie, come on
Oh, how give back pride
Money
Not what we’re thinking of, nothing but a straight up lie
From the picket lines to these wicked times
We just can’t breath
Every man needs his shelter; every man has got his own needs
Look to you for answers your motives all we found
When the coffers coughed in to an empty trough
Were gonna march upon your town
Oh, how you gonna turn back time
Money
Not what we’re thinking of, nothing but a straight up lie, come on
Oh, how give back pride
Money
Not what we’re thinking of, nothing but a straight up lie
How deep you gonna cut when your cutting through the bone?
How much you gonna push till a man can lose his home?
See the needs of many but your only pleasing your self
How long the average man gonna feel the discontent?
Oh, how you gonna turn back time
Money
Not what we’re thinking of, nothing but a straight up lie, come on
Oh, how give back pride
Money
Not what we’re thinking of, nothing but a straight up lie
She don’t even like my mother
Guess its time to leave her dead
She got the hots for older brother
Yes believe that’s what I said
Girl gone mad she keeps on talking bout how she’s gonna live
Not with me oh lord, oh lord I got so much more to give
She’s hard work
Oh, she’s hard work
She’s too much for me
She’s hard work
Oh, she’s hard work
The girl is history
Oh my lord that woman’s a danger
Well especially round my friends
A glassy glance just one more dance
And a number in the hand
Girl gone mad she keeps on thinking that the boy he can not see
There aint no point hanging around cause the girl is history
She’s hard work
Oh, she’s hard work
She’s too much for me
She’s hard work
Oh, she’s hard work
The girl is history
Well man she’s got the deepest pockets
That I think I’ve ever seen
Not to bothered about the girls good loving
But I’m more concerned about the green
Girls gone mad she keeps on talking bout how I’m gonna work
I’m a singer not a grafter baby so I’d rather do my thing in church
She’s hard work
Oh, she’s hard work
She’s too much for me
She’s hard work
Oh, she’s hard work
The girl is history
How we gonna fix this if we break down all the time
Cover up the cracks that we gloss over all the while
No longer north or south just gaping hole divide
No longer you or me when money buys you every time
We’re broke, this place is broke
To the sound of the music that gets us down
We’re broke, this town is broke
To the sound of the music that gets you down
Picking up the pieces that’s been left out for far too long
No broken biscuits here just dust we stand upon
No right to grumble cause we all got our fair share
No piece of nothing is just nothing but a nightmare
We’re broke, this place is broke
To the sound of the music that gets us down
We’re broke, this town is broke
To the sound of the music that gets you down
Power be the broker, green works every time
Counting up the pennies of our lives is such a crime
We aint got nothing but the time we’re spending now
Let’s blow the bank and give it up to what we got to do
When we’re broke, this place is broke
To the sound of the music that gets us down
We’re broke, this town is broke
To the sound of the music
We’re broke, this place is broke
To the sound of the music that gets us down
We’re broke, this town is broke
To the sound of the music that gets you down
Repeat to end
Was never someone to get out much
Too afraid
You never wanted to see me much
Oh, what a shame
I’ve been blamed
For the way
That I communicate
But I could tell right away
That with him that would be
Alright
In this life we will always be falling free
In this life we will always be falling free
It’s a bird, it’s a plane
No it’s just me
Way up high falling free
It’s a bird, it’s a plane
No it’s just me
Way up high falling free
Falling free
Falling free
Falling free
Falling free
Falling free
Falling free
Falling free
I could never change you
I could never change you
Still I’ve been blamed
For the way
That I communicate
But I could tell right away
That with him that would be
Alright
In this life we will always be falling free
In this life we will always be falling free
Falling free
Falling free
Falling free
Falling free
It’s a bird, it’s a plane
No it’s just me
Way up high falling free
It’s a bird, it’s a plane
No it’s just me
Way up high falling free
Falling free
Falling free
Falling free
Falling free
Falling free
Falling free
Falling free
Gabriel oh Gabriel when will we see your face again
Faded beauty velum parchment page
Oh lead me through my darkest night
Oh angel won’t you hear my plight
Let your love and sorrow rain on me
And how I see the embers burn
How they tend to twist and turn
How the only light in me is dyeing out
As the clouds break out ahead
Bringing light into my dread
All the angels cry their tears of misery
Gabriel oh Gabriel when will you free me from my hell
Words suppressed with awestruck melody
Oh lead me from my oldest fight oh memories let them all take flight
Leave me with my distant harmony
And how I see the embers burn
How they tend to twist and turn
How the only light in me is dyeing out
As the clouds break out ahead
Bringing light into my dread
All the angels cry their tears of misery
Gabriel oh Gabriel when will we see your face again
Faded beauty velum parchment page
Oh lead me through my darkest night
Oh angel wont you hear my plight
Let your love and sorrow rain on me
And how I see the embers burn
How they tend to twist and turn
How the only light in me is dyeing out
As the clouds break out ahead
Bringing light into my dread
All the angels cry their tears of misery
Melancholy madness let it slip away
Good things come back to you let me hear you say
Five days of hard working, could have been so much more
Can yawl tell me, what the weekends for?
Let go of your sadness, let it drift away
Good things come around in threes
And it’s the third of the third today
Aint no feeling better, than just to bring the noise
Wash of all your troubles and let me hear your voice
And dance, come on
Just one night your soul feels right
So let your self go and dance
Well come on
You know you got it in you now
So let your self go
Break the scene of silence, smash that quiet spell
Dance right through another night and let you feet do the work instead
Graft brings home the money; money makes the good times play
Holding back is just an act so let me see everybody sway
And dance, come on
Just one night your soul feels right
So let your self go and dance
Well come on
You know you got it in you now
So let your self go
It’s a nothing story but we’ve all been there before
What’s the point of all of this bringing you down?
Look across that room they stand with out a smile
Making up the numbers just isn’t right
And dance, come on
And dance, come on
let your self go baby
And dance, come on
Just one night your soul feels right
So let your self go and dance
Well come on
You know you got it in your self
So let your self go
I drink the pain just to feel it again
It reignites the flame that almost just burned out, yeah
It masks the lies in these tears that I cry
But only I can really feel my own self doubt, yeah
She said your doing the same once again
Do you not realise what you’re doing to your self
Soak up her voice like my blanket of choice
And leave her good advice high upon the shelf
Don’t let it go to your head is what she said
She bore the brunt of me and now the girls burnt out
Don’t let it go to your head is what she said
I’ll take her voice and make it mine in side my head
Good advice, who’s to give well not me
I’ll take what’s right and make it wrong with all my strength
Self confessed who’s to tell in this thing
I twist the words the truth to always suit myself
She said your doing the same once again
Do you not realise what you’re doing to your self
Soak up her voice like my blanket of choice
And leave her good advice high upon the shelf
She said
Don’t let it go to your head is what she said
She bore the brunt of me and now the girls burnt out
Don’t let it go to your head is what she said
I’ll take her voice and make it mine in side my head
So much of me, well I can’t really take
I need reflection of a different kind of self, my love
She gives me word that I can not ignore
It seems she’s won and all that’s left is my shell, yeah

Yeah, till its gone
I don’t know what I’ve got till it’s gone
Yeah, till its gone

You make all the difference, to have you near is all that I need
Time can build indifference but with you theres something new most every day
In all this time we’ve spent I’ve had my moments once or twice
As the dust it clears theres no one near, I know I got you in my life
All these things I have now, dedicate every line I have to you
Everything I am and have, well its you that keeps me fighting on through
Ad-lib
Somethings are to precious now for words in a song to rightly say
Three gifts you have given me they spark the light that shines on through the day
All these things I have now, dedicate every line I have to you
Everything I am and have, well its you that keeps me fighting on through
Ad-lib
Times it gets rough, sometimes more that other days
Aways need some where to go, sometimes just to get away
You give me something else, something I’ve never had
These lines are sang to you and trust me no one else
You make all the difference, to have you near is all that I need
Time can build indifference but with you theres something new most every day
All these things I have now, dedicate every line I have to you
Everything I am and have, well its you that keeps me fighting on through
repeat x6
All these things I have now
Mesmerised, Hypnotised
Mesmerised, Hypnotised
Waited a long time to see if all in your game was fair
Going through out life without a worry or a care
Young mans bravado and now it seems so paper thin
Thats when everything came crashing in

Well thinking that you were my baby yeah
All at once my bubble burst and I came crashing to he floor
Thinking that you’d be mine
Games that your playing for you it comes so naturally
Caught in the head lights of something I just did not see
Never a second passed I thought that you would do me wrong
How long has this been going on
I was Mesmerised, I was Hypnotised, I wasn’t justified
Well thinking that you were my baby yeah
All at once my bubble burst and I came crashing to he floor
Thinking that you’d be mine
Waited a long time to see if all in your game was fair
Going through out life without a worry or a care
Young mans bravado and now it seems so paper thin
Thats when everything came crashing in
