SING TONIGHT

Try to make some sense of this
Read and re read every kiss.
It's not like history wrote itself
The victors filled up every shelf.
And I don't want to
Be part of the song
that you sing tonight.
And I don't want to
be facing the waters
edge.And I don't want to
Be part of the song
that you sing tonight.
and i don't want to
Be facing the wall again.
Hindsight is a useless thing
but it's constructing every
word i sing.
No angel card can
cure this harm.
The bottle no longer
holds the charm.
And I do want you
To be part of the songs
that we sing tonight.
But I don't want to
be facing the wall again.
But i do want you
to be part of the songs
that i sing tonight.
But I don't want to
Be facing the wall again

And so the words get crumpled
and rustle around in her purse.
And on her summer playlist
there are memories
from the intro,the verse.
And each one a eulogy
for every fork in the road.
Even though i tried my
best. You'll always live outside
in the cold
It's a celebration of the times
we had. Before you go away.
And older sisters will bring you down
to a place where I can't stay.
I don't even know you now
your laugh is like a strangers to me
and reading back in between the lines
there wasn't really much love to see.
And each song was a eulogy
for each and everytime that i spent
waiting for you to arrive
and tell me something you never meant
It's a celebration of the times
we had. Before you go away.
and older sisters will bring you down
to a place where I can't stay.

THE GOLDEN SANDS

Where the golden sun is
Burning brightly on the day
(Ooh She's never been to the
golden sands,Ooh she feels the
comfort that is in her hands)
Feel the weight is lifted.
I'm reading her favourite book.
And all thats said in kindness
is pushing out the others.
Time to realise that they
weren't really lovers.
I feel we're on the way to somewhere
where we can belong. Birds greet us
from the sky each morning,with their
newest song. I feel we're in the midst
of something,no one can replace.
You remind me of the better
times that show upon my face
And before you saved me
I was washed up on the sand.
(Ooh she didn't love me but
she held me tight.Ooh she
wouldn't let me run away
that night)
And when the heat had settled
I realised it wasn't right to be
Pining for a person
who played me like a puzzle.
Time to try the girl
who does the kitten
nuzzle.
I feel we're on the way to somewhere
where we can belong. Birds greet us
from the sky each morning,with their
newest song. I feel we're in the midst
of something,no one can replace.
You remind me of the better
times that show upon my face

MADE TO FOOL

The sign is wrong.
I'm looking through a spy glass
to see the love that you have lost.
Idle now because you couldn't take
the pressure of juggling your images.
Clone.
Wear my shirt.you stole of my back
all those years ago but when will you learn
and live.. Your disregard for patience has
left your conversation less.
You take your love
from the ones
you were made to fool
You're adding fire to your
flame as you break the rules.
You push and shove and you run
and you loose your friends.
Your clown tears and your fears
make you loose your head.
And time will tell
whether you can keep together
when god turns on the pressure.
Idol now, Because your hands
become the devil as you dance beneath
the pendulum sways and swings.
You never seem to notice all the
devastation you seem to leave
behind. Even primates in the jungle
have to suck it up and swallow
their pride.
You take your love
from the ones
you were made to fool
You're adding fire to your
flame as you break the rules.
You push and shove and you run
and you loose your friends.
Your clown tears and your fears
make you loose your head.

I was running in the slow lane every night
Talking to a man who'd only sail on new moon light
Turning over pennies every time.
Superstitious reasons had me so snow blind.
When over the hill came a shining light.
I never thought that I would see a beacon
so bright.
You give me the feeling that I belong
You give me the reason to keep on keeping on.
There are many mountains I have faced.
And there's no need for mole hills in the
god forsaken place.
Now i'm speeding in the fast lane
once again.
No time to sing another love
a goodbye lament.
I'm packing up the suitcase every time
But no longer need the bottles
of the cheapest wine.
You give me the feeling that I belong
You give me the reason to keep on keeping on.

WADE THROUGH SILENCE
04:34

There are many secrets I could tell to you
my friend. You made me Billy Liar,during the
reprise of the bitter end. I sit and count the
bottles out on the front lawn. And I will attend
to the flowers such beautiful colours that bare your
name.
Some say you wade through silence
obviously not phased,missing in the bottle
meetings.lost in column A.
Mothers in my eyes today.
Finding ways to drown the feelings
as your day begins. I take a book
from your shelf. Reading your secrets
taking in your hell. There's noughts and angry
crosses ripped up letters and an unknown name.
Tears swell upon the pages,blurring the writing
drowning the flames.
Some say you wade through silence
obviously not phased,missing in the bottle
meetings.lots in column A.
Mothers in my eyes today.
