BAD BLOOD

Some nights I worry
that I'm misunderstood
most days I don't really care
Throw out the payload
invite an ocean
just try a new routine
that's all we need

Most nights I'm fighting
you're breaking my back
at times I need room to breathe
Throw out the payload
invite an ocean
just try a new routine
that's all we need

We'll follow the road for sure
and they'll never take that away
We'll follow the road for sure
and they'll never take that away

Throw out the payload
invite an ocean
just try a new routine
that's all we need

You will never find a way
fallen to drink so easily
you will never drown you sorrows
water the roots and so they grow
Thank Christ you know it's true
as you feel it running through
one swallow never cured the cold for long
one swallow never cured the cold for long
WAITING ON THE WIRE

Your tireless work counts for little here
it's so unbelievable
all's fair with favour for a favour
and they must surely know
and they should really know

Running on and on
I'm all out of humour
and ready to rest
the new price of freedom
seems more than than I've got
it's strange how the new rule
seems destined for no goal
and what's this sound ringing in our ears?
it's just the sound of the wars
we don't want to fight for
power hungry star eyed prefects
shoot blindly from their desks
pushing the wheel in a backward motion
leading us all somewhere
but it's nowhere
nowhere but over the edge
and they must surely know
they should really know
it's nowhere in particular
nowhere in particular
but swinging on a pocket watch
it's guns that keep us from sleep

Running on on and on
I’m all out of humour
and ready to rest and rest
COUNT ON ANGELS

Sometimes there’s nothing
so sweet as sleep.
Sometimes days are to short.
More or less the time finds strength
from the smile in your eyes.
A glance or two,
oh yes I follow that too,
I count on angels,
I count on laughs
to follow the right thing to do
and so far so good.

In the kingdom of the blind
the one eyed man must sleep at night.
He sleeps until the work is done,
he’s no more use to anyone.
The legends speak but not to me
and hope through fear can never be,
so let the bells ring out once more
and sing of warmth forever more.
We find things we’ve never known
and we’re so sold on life.
We learn words we never knew
and it feels so good.
THE WARMEST KISS

More time
we all need more time
yet we couldn't be happier
believe it all
and I won't forget, won’t forget
won’t forget, won’t forget

It’s all I ever hear, it’s all I ever hear
it’s all I ever hear, it’s all I ever hear
It’s all I ever hera, it’s all I ever hear

I haven't been lonely in so long
I haven’t been lonely in so long
give it to me, give it to me
give it to me, give it to me

Frozen in the warmest kiss
here forever
gone tomorrow
trite like yesterdays
trite like yesterdays
it's all I ever hear
So bury the crown
for a day or two
I hear you calling me
bury the crown
for a day or two
and never be lonely
