Getting My Life Back 03:56
lyrics
buy track
Bring back the past, grip it so tight Don't let it out of your sight Standing so proud, head in the sky One thing's the sunset don't lie My copper-toned tongue tastes not quite right What have I become? That silver-edged sword, it slices through The orange steel moon Oh, getting my life back from you Oh, getting my life back from you Jet-streams of dreams, powered by love Watch them up above Poisoned by grief, wiser than most It's just the looks that you boast My copper-toned tongue tastes not quite right What have I become? That silver-edged sword, it slices through The orange steel moon Oh, getting my life back from you Oh, getting my life back from you Oh, getting my life back from you Oh, getting my life back from you Oh, getting my life back from you Oh, getting my life back from you

Turn The Pain Away 03:38
lyrics

Wake up with a thorn in your skull You feel a cold hand gripping your soul I've been downright sick today What's that lump on the side of your head? It's like a tumour growing from the bed I've been downright sick today I can't turn the pain away One more 'fore you hit the bottom Look for the barman, you've been forgotten Been downright sick today I can't turn the pain away It's like wind on a rainy day I got nothing else to say But I know the world ain't gonna fall apart And I know my soul's gonna make it And I'll end it right back at the start All night while you toss and you turn Enjoy the fever while you feel it burn I've been down, downright sick today I can't turn the pain away It's like wind on a rainy day I got nothing else to say But I know the world ain't gonna fall apart And I know my soul's gonna make it And I'll end it right back at the start I can't turn the pain away It's like wind on a rainy day I got nothing else to say But I know the world ain't gonna fall apart And I know my soul's gonna make it And we'll end it right back at the start We'll end it right back at the start We'll end it right back at the start We'll end it right back at the start

Out On The Town 03:58
lyrics

I woke from a dream last night That all my tears and all my pride Had crept away without a sound Tommy passed the bottle down to me, to me The drinks were cold, the bars were warm The acts of friendship we performed They bonded us, so it appeared Forged of love and built of years our chains, our chains We went out on the town And we sang to the sky come the dawn, come the dawn We went out on the town And we sang to the sky come the dawn, come the dawn Lately I've been feeling though The things that we all used to know And count upon have gone away See the night give way to day, it glowed, it glowed Now I look around the room and Realise what we once assumed Would always stay had slowly changed Faces friendly now are strange to me, to me We went out on the town And we sang to the sky come the dawn, come the dawn We went out on the town And we sang to the sky come the dawn, come the dawn I was just a face in the crowd I was just a face in the crowd I was just a face in the crowd (We went out on the town and we sang to the sky come the dawn) I was just a face in the crowd (We went out on the town and we sang to the sky come the dawn) In the crowd, in the crowd (Come the dawn, come the dawn) I woke from a dream last night And gathered up my wounded pride To creep away without a sound Tommy brings the van around for me, oh for me We went out on the town And we sang to the sky come the dawn, come the dawn We went out on the town And we sang to the sky come the dawn, come the dawn We went out on the town And we sang to the sky come the dawn, come the dawn We went out on the town And we sang to the sky

You're Not Alone 03:56
lyrics
buy track
Looking back in time it's clear there's nothing left to do You'll always be a part of me as I will be for you But you don't want the things you have until you let them go And I would ask you please to tell me something I don't know. Singing-- You're not alone, no you’re not, you’re not alone. Singing-- You're not alone, no you're not, you're not alone Broken-hearted troubadours sing ballads in the streets Their lives are written in the tears that rest upon their cheeks And they say love is just for fools who like their dying slow But you just shake your head, say 'Tell me something I don't know'. Singing-- You're not alone, no you’re not, you’re not alone. Singing-- You're not alone, no you're not, you're not alone Watch it on your TV screens and wring it from your hands The wasted youth and blackened gold that burn in foreign lands But the house on the hill is built on generations' bones And people roll their eyes say 'Tell me something I don't know'. Singing-- You're not alone, no you’re not, you’re not alone. Singing-- You're not alone, no you're not, you're not alone. Singing-- You're not alone, no you’re not, you’re not alone. Singing-- You're not alone, no you're not, you're not alone And it gets hard when you are down to look them in the eye If they could see inside our hearts then they might be surprised And everyone’s still talking, I won't interrupt the flow But I'm still begging baby, tell me something I don't know. Singing-- You're not alone, no you’re not, you’re not alone. Singing-- You're not alone, no you're not, you're not alone. Singing-- You're not alone, no you're not, you're not alone. Singing-- You're not alone, no you’re not, you’re not You're not alone, no you're not, you're not alone. Singing-- You're not alone, no you’re not, you’re not alone

Where Do You Go To? 04:03
lyrics

Oh, where do you go to? Oh, where do you go to? Out on the town, I feel like I'm drunk as a skunk Too many pints, I know that all my spirits are sunk Oh no, I think I've had enough tonight Oh no, I really don't want to fight Leave me alone, I'm gonna tell you where to go Leave me alone, I'm gonna tell you where to go Oh, where do you go to? Oh, where do you go to? Out with my friends, we're bouncing with the beat of the drum Up to no good, and hope the morning never comes Oh no, I think I've had enough tonight Oh no, I really don't want to fight Leave me alone, I'm gonna tell you where to go Leave me alone, I'm gonna tell you where to go Oh, where do you go to? Oh, where do you go to? Oh, where do you go to? Oh, where do you go to? Oh, where do you go to? Oh, where do you go to? Oh, where do you go? Oh, where do you go?
