This is who we are

This is who we are

It’s funny how it doesn’t hurt, I wonder if my senses work
But this was meant to be, unexpectedly
This is who we are

I never would have made the call, it was written on the wall
This is for the best, who could have guessed
This is who we are

But I’ve seen it all before, you would have thought I’d learn
I would hide the evidence, acting in self defence
If I could, I would, if only I could

Suddenly the truth is out; the proof is there, beyond a doubt
I’m burning in this heat; I’m falling at your feet
This is who we are

But I’ve seen it all before, you would have thought I’d learn
I would give the highest dose of any antidote
If I could, I would, if only I could

Mr Brown

Mr Brown…

Mr Brown came to town, tried to work for a bank
Recruited and suited he rose through the ranks
Now he’s earning plenty and he’s only in his twenties

Educated and rated, he’s bound to go far
He’s right on his game and he’s playing to par
It’s getting hard to bear him, he’s becoming overbearing

Stay, stay away from me, you know that you wanted to
Stay, stay away from me, you know that you wanted to

Expensive, offensive, he’s loud and he’s proud
Flashing his cash, he stands out from the crowd
Ooh he’s earning plenty and he’s only in his twenties

Intrusive, abusive, just listen to him
A big fat cat mad of self discipline
It’s getting hard to bear him, he’s becoming overbearing

Stay, stay away from me, you know that you wanted to
Stay, stay away from me, you know that you wanted to

I know he’s trying to control, he can stay in his own little world

Ordinary Girl

Ordinary girl

She knew what she wanted, she believed in herself and she had to keep moving
She was just another ordinary girl
And when she found it, she couldn’t believe, she couldn’t believe it
She was just an ordinary girl

She tried her luck, she tried so much
She always feels lost when she’s alone, ‘cos it’s such a long way home
She’d shout if she thought someone could hear, but there’s noone near
There’s noone near

She’s always dreaming, she pictures herself in another world
She’s just another ordinary girl
She caught her reflection, she couldn’t believe, she couldn’t believe it
She was just an ordinary girl

She tried her luck, she tried so much
She always feels lost when she’s alone, ‘cos it’s such a long way home
She’d shout if she thought someone could hear, but there’s noone near
There’s noone near

Dadadadadadadum

She always feels lost when she’s alone, ‘cos it’s such a long way home
She’d shout if she thought someone could hear, but there’s noone near
There’s no-one near

Snake in the grass

Snake in the grass

It all started with a couple of chords, turned into a song and you were singing along
You were tapping your feet, in time with the beat; you were ready to jump on board
You told us you were ready to go; we even heard it on the radio

It should have been much greater, 30 seconds later, you were just a snake in the grass
We should have seen it coming, walked away with nothing, now we’re going back to the start
Now we’re going back to the start

All the wasted time was playing on our minds, it was getting us down
It wasn’t give and take, you were a big mistake
It was easier to go it alone
You told us you were ready to go; we even heard it on the radio

It should have been much greater, 30 seconds later, you were just a snake in the grass
We should have seen it coming, walked away with nothing, now we’re going back to the start
Now we’re going back to the start

You told us you were ready to go; we even heard it on the radio

It should have been much greater, ‘cos 30 seconds later, you were just a snake in the grass
We should have seen it coming, walked away with nothing, now we’re going back to the start
Now we’re going back to the start

Stole the show

Stole the Show

I miss you everyday
You stole the show when you said you had to go
Every time I think of you I’m fine
The only way to see you is to turn back time

I wish that you were here
You always said what I was thinking in my head
Every passing day you fade away
Every passing day you slowly fade away

It’s crazy, I should move on
I shouldn’t be holding on
But you’re always there, you stay in my prayers
I’ll always be thinking of you, waiting for you
Thinking of you, waiting for you

I open up my mind
Remembering just feels like suffering
If only I could keep you in my mind
It feels as if I’m running out of time
It feels as if I’m slowly, running out of time

It’s crazy, I should move on
I shouldn’t be holding on
But you’re always there, you stay in my prayers
I’ll always be thinking of you, waiting for you
Thinking of you, waiting for you

Milk and Honey

Milk and Honey

Close your eyes and cast your mind, let it drift for miles and miles
You’ll be amazed what you can find
Loads of money, milk and honey
All the stress and strife you can leave it behind
Leave it all behind

Well, there must be somewhere out there, somewhere beyond compare, yeah
Where people dance and people smile, once in a while
We’ve just lost the way, amid this world grey
We think too much and we lose touch of what makes a great day
Is somewhere out there

Close your eyes and start to dream, you’re the cat who got the cream
But dreams ain’t all that they might seem
Loads of money, milk and honey
Well that ain’t real, it’s not a deal, it’s only a dream
Yeah it’s only a dream

Well, there must be somewhere out there, somewhere beyond compare, yeah
Where people dance and people smile, once in a while
We’ve just lost the way, amid this world grey
We think too much and we lose touch of what makes a great day
Is somewhere out there

Well you’ve worked hard; it’s time to have your fun
You can do things that you’ve never done. The race of your life is not yet run

Well, there must be somewhere out there, somewhere beyond compare, yeah
Where people dance and people smile, once in a while
We’ve just lost the way, amid this world grey
We think too much and we lose touch of what makes a great day
Is somewhere out there

A surprise

A Surprise

This is unexpected, strange I should see you after all this time
Say what you up to?
Tell me how you’re doing; still working late 7 days a week, in a job you hate?
Do you remember the crew, and me and you, and that twist of fate?

I never got to say goodbye, I never got to tell you why
You looked at me smiling, your smile was so beguiling
But I had to go and never let you know why

You’re looking really well; is there someone who is making you laugh the way we used to?
Do you want to have a drink or do you still hate me?
Would you rather I go and let you be?
Won’t you look me up soon, some afternoon, when you’re free

I never got to say goodbye, I never got to tell you why
You looked at me smiling; your smile was so beguiling
But I had to go and never let you know why

Before you go, let me tell you why
I can’t let you go before I say goodbye
I failed at that before, but now I have one more chance to say I’ve loved you everyday

Steal a kiss

Steal a kiss

You put your hands on me, when you think that noone can see
I put my arms round you, and whisper what it is that I want to do
Well we’re both involved with others and don’t want to make a scene

We know we shouldn’t but it’s much too strong
We know we shouldn’t but we still play along
It won’t be long before suspicion grows and they all know I crave you so
You’re only supposed to have eyes for one man,
You’re only supposed to, but who the hell can
Well that’s a theory dismissed, so let’s steal a kiss

Well it’s a physical thing, and girl you make parts of me want to sing
And now there’s feelings too, well our friends will get the clue
‘Cos we know that they’re all watching, waiting for a sign

We know we shouldn’t but it’s much too strong
We know we shouldn’t but we still play along
It won’t be long before suspicion grows and they all know I crave you so
You’re only supposed to have eyes for one man,
You’re only supposed to, but who the hell can
Well that’s a theory dismissed, so let’s steal a kiss

It doesn’t mean I want to replace the love that I have, ‘cos she’s the love of my life
You know the score but you still insist you can’t resist me, despite the trouble and strife
And I admit that I’m really kind of mad about you, and yeah I love you too

Well I’m in love with 2 women at the same time
People say it’s wrong but I think its fine
I can’t help this physical attraction, ‘cos I’m getting double the satisfaction

(Repeat)

My Song

My song

Got to stop the worrying, I’m always hurrying the moment
Now you say you’re leaving
Why don’t you stay, maybe you could leave me another day?
Well is there no way that I can change your mind?
Well did you know that it’s me that’s leaving you behind?

With the song, just to say goodbye
So long, I never even loved you that long
So why does it hurt when you were gone? Long gone

Got to stop the pining, there’s a silver lining around the bend
Well it takes some finding
And it might take some time, but you’ll get over me and you’ll be fine
Yeah, that’s just a line
Well am I convincing you? Or do you see, see straight through…

My song, just to say goodbye
So long, I never even loved you that long
So why does it hurt when you were gone? Long gone

Don’t you think we’re worth another try?
Look for the reasons why?
Well it was never my style to chase
That’s why you see, my see-through brave face

Well, my song, why does it hurt when you were gone

My song, just to say goodbye
So long, I never even loved you that long
So why does it hurt when you were gone? Long gone
(Repeat…)

Charming

Charming

I recall the day I met you, and we started our affair
Like some romantic movie, we became the perfect pair
In those early days, in so many ways
I wondered what it was that made you fall for me

You found me charming, you found my voice calming
Your heart beat so you found it alarming
You started caring what you were wearing
Our time was beyond all comparing
You said I had a hold on you
My love was a hole you were falling through
Yeah in the early days I was faring pretty well

But years passed by and things just changed
I confused priorities
A spoilt brat with cold feet
I forgot just what I had, and I acted hard to please

I was no longer charming, no longer
Your heart was sad you found it alarming
You stopped caring what you were wearing
And other men started comparing
I lost any hold on you
Regret was a hole I was falling through
Yeah I was no longer faring very well

But I’ll try to make it better, I changed once, I can change again
I so don’t want to lose you; I’ll stop the hurt and make amends

I’ll try to be charming, swear to be calming
I’ll make your heart beat so you it’s alarming
Show I’m caring what you were wearing
The slight of you is beyond comparing
I’ll hold tightly onto you
Together the holes we’ll jump right through
As long as I have you I’m faring pretty well

I’ll hold tightly onto you
Together the holes we’ll jump right through
As long as I have you I’m faring very well

I’ll be charming
