'One Day Never'
When you woke up this morning
Everything you had was gone
Remember your nightmares
Trying to decide who you are
Who you are
When you woke up this morning
Everything you had was gone
And you walk through this morning
Visit places where you came from
Where you came from
I can’t believe it
One day never
I can’t believe it
And you’re walking to the moment
Faces pressed against the glass
To deliver this re-birth
Oh, nurture him till he’s all grown up
Till he’s grown up
I can’t believe it
One day never
I can’t believe it
What can I give you?
I don’t know
What can I tell you?
That you don’t know
It breaks my heart to see you cry
Brother, you’ve been on my mind
More than you know or less than you think
But brother, you’ve been on my mind
I can’t believe it
One day never
I can’t believe it
When you woke up this morning
Everything you had was gone
Send your answers on a postcard
When all your losses are restored
I can’t believe it
One day never
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT

'Life Times'
Saw you yesterday, you told me
“Everything felt wrong"
Didn’t have the heart to tell you
I was feeling strong
Didn’t have the heart to say that
I could turn away
And I look you in the eye
Your tears are lost in rain...
Was it my imagination?
Or did I hear you say?
“We could try just one more time
And make it all okay”
Hungry as a searchlight
I can see it in your eyes
If we just re-write the past
Well, don’t you know I tried?
And we held in the warm summer rain
The last piece of hope that remained
And I don’t feel afraid anymore
Darling, there’s a life time to fall
Even though my heart was breaking
I could feel the light
Holding on to anything
To help me through this night
Warm the cold inside my veins
And wash away the dirt
Wrap a blanket round my soul
Soothe the way it hurts
And we held in the warm summer rain
The last piece of hope that remained
And I don’t feel afraid anymore
Darling, there’s a life time to fall
And as I walked away
Carried part of her
Inside half a man
Ambiguous, broken
Like my heart
And I don’t feel afraid anymore
Darling, there’s a life time to fall
Darling, there’s a life time to fall

'Finished'
Accuse me if you will
And despise me if you will
If you could only feel my fear
I’d surely get through
And if you could see me now
I would rise above this feeling
And if you could see right through me now
You would see something that hurt your eyes
I’ve tried to see
I can’t help how it feels
And I could wait and wait all day
And I could wait and wait all year
Sometimes I can’t hold it in
Well, this time I will try
I’ve tried to see
I can’t help how it feels
She no longer needs him

'Sleeping When You Should Be Standing Watch'
When you take for granted all you’ve got
Sleeping when you should be standing watch
Being so in love you don’t look back
Watching what you held slip through the cracks
A hallway of leaves
I’m weak at the knees
She’s waiting there…
On a night when everything’s revealed
Dozing with your hands still at the wheel
Make the same mistakes you’ve always made
Standing frozen coz you’re so afraid
A hallway of leaves
I’m weak at the knees
She’s waiting there…
With a frozen kiss
So it ends like this
MURAKAMI
When you always laugh at the wrong time
Seeing two worlds, caught between two lives
When your dancing steps get out of synch
Losing coz you’re always first to blink
A circle of trees
The roots grow so deep
With my regrets…
Buried in the soil
No dreams left unspoiled
MURAKAMI
Sleeping when you should be standing watch
Caught with your trousers down
Sleeping when you should be standing watch
Caught with your knickers down

'Nest Of Dead Birds'
You’d close your eyes and you’d see the flames
The year the comet came
We’d hear your sighs in the dead of night
All doors and windows shut tight
And the black wool that you fight through
Gags your mouth with untruths
You climbed higher
Found a nest of dead birds
A plastic bag in branches
Cries are unheard
We can never count the stars
Some are already dark
Crushed and charred
Mmm…
You’re a stranger to your own soul
And it’s demons that you hold
You climbed higher
Found a nest of dead birds
Thoughts like wolves are
Fighting over your words
We can never count the stars
Some are already dark
Crushed and charred

'Cracking Skulls'
I’m sitting here, I’m staring at the ceiling
And your words are floating ‘round my head today
And I can’t explain, I won’t explain this feeling
Of what we were and what we are today
Please tell me who I am and what you’re seeing
Well, I can’t believe you’re laughing in my face
And I sleep alone but always feel you breathing
And I stretch my thoughts in longing for the days
Someone’s sitting in my tree
I’m falling, I’m crawling
She will see what she wants to see
I’m falling, I’m crawling
And I’m laughing loud, I’m laughing at the people
Is there really more to you than meets the eye?
Or am I reading everything too deeply?
Just don’t turn around and tell me I was blind!
Someone’s sitting in my tree
I’m falling, I’m crawling
She will see what she wants to see
I’m falling, I’m crawling
I catch your eye
And the world is turning in your head
Just tell me why
Is it how I feel or what you said?
Well, I’m sitting here, I’m staring at the ceiling
And your words are floating ‘round my head today
And I can’t explain, I won’t explain this feeling
Of what we were and what we are today
Someone’s sitting in my tree
I’m falling, I’m crawling
She will see what she wants to see
I’m falling, I’m crawling
We’re cracking skulls
We’re cracking skulls
We’re cracking skulls
We’re cracking skulls…

'Spinster'
Love is the thread of your curse
Woven through all that hurts
And it blistered beneath the stitches
When your lips lost his kisses
Who can escape younger days?
Magnifies all you can’t un-make
And the clock tower watched you growing
Took your time and was stolen
And you walk in two worlds on this journey
But the bridges you made are burning…

'Letter Of Resignation'
I hold this letter in my hand
Penned between two halves of my heart
Press my lips against your name
Squeeze the tears that blind and blame
But I still see us
And the Edinburgh stars
Have I told you today
How beautiful you are?
I hold this letter in my hand
Carved upon this stone in my soul
I shiver like the distant stars
Amber, the rain is falling hard
And I still see us
And the dark reservoir
As it reflects our forms
And the infinite stars
Who cares that my love could not keep her
But me?
And who cares that my soul’s lost without her
But me?
Feel the weight of my words
As they rest in your palm…
You hold my letter in your hands
Thoughts flow through fingers like sand
You press your lips against my name
Beauty and sadness now ingrained
