Fall Together
03:54
|
|||
|
Another grey Northern line journey
You tripped as you boarded the train
I caught your fall our eyes met
Then it’s me who’s falling
And we both knew
Oh we both knew!
How soon we fall together
You and me we caught each other’s fall
We’ll have it all together
You and me we caught each other’s fall
Now time flies by so quickly
With never two days the same
So much we’ve shared together
So much pleasure with a little pain
You know and I know we’d do it all again
How soon we fall together…

I Think I Forgot

You’re leaving on a plane today
For a new career and a new life
Till now I never realised
What I’ve been holding deep inside
If I can’t change how you feel
If you feel you’ve got to move on
Then I can’t stand in your way
When I’m the one who got it wrong.
Because I think I forgot, I think I forgot
I think I forgot to say I need you
Oh I think I forgot, I think I forgot
I think I forgot to say I love you
Oh I’m hoping that you get this message
While I’m heading to the airport
But If you’re gone when I get there
Well I could catch the next flight
And we’ll talk
If I can’t change how you feel…
Because I think I forgot, I think I forgot…
I know you’ve got your plans
I really understand that
But we could work things out
If you say you want me back
Oh I think I forgot…

A Song For All Seasons
04:13
|
|||
|
I’ve been looking so hard
For what I know not
Searching for something
In places and spaces between them
Running out of patience
Ignoring the journey to somewhere
Chase destinations
Crowds of faces blur between them
One day I found myself, by the sea at sun-rise
Love stood beside me
And we talked like friends not strangers
As fishing boats with catch
On the sea did roll before us
We were still talking
As the moon rose to kiss the sun goodnight
I’ll be here through Spring
Till the warmer tides begin
I’ll be here as the grey skies turn blue
We’ll simmer all summer long
Till the Autumn colour’s gone
Then I will light up the winter for you
Next morning wrapped in sheets
I hardly dared to speak
I was so afraid, I was so afraid
To break the sweet silence
Of your bedroom
We’d shared but a night
But so much more than just a night
The sun rose we kissed and I promised you this
I’ll be here through spring…

Well it’s hard to leave a lover
When you’ve never known no other
Who could move someone
The way that you moved me
No one understood
Oh I guess nobody could
Why I put up with things you do to me
Maybe it was only
We met when you were lonely
Thought I’d found someone
Who made me feel brand new
But your casual mistreating
Turned to casual cheating
And I realised I’m not enough for you
The last time you hurt me is
The last time you’ll hurt me
The last time we play that game
The last time you hurt me is
The last time you’ll hurt me
And I don’t want you coming round again
We all need somebody
But not just some body
Who’ll share the bad times
As well as the good
Close the door behind you
Take the memories
I’ve given you all I could.
The last time…

Paravoyeur
03:31
|
|||
|
An apartment block
Other side of the road
On the second floor
Someone wants a show
Curtains twitch and shift
Fingers probe the gap
Glimpse of hands and face
As the curtains are pulled back
From a window across the street
There’s someone watching me
Wonder who you are
As I watch you watching me
I train binoculars
On the secrets that you keep
Knowledge will be power
When I see who wants to see
From a window…
I’m using digicam
Focus on your window
Capture your image
And a little bit of your soul
From a window…

Winter, far away, time forms a distance so unfair
She smiles at me, hiding an evil cold and bare
And from the ground she seems to fly between the trees
I cry aloud, wishing my parties could grow leaves
We feel the urge now, we run between the gold and green
Another time now, I saw those colours in a dream
No sign, no tears, just colours in a dream
So fine, so clear
Changes on the ground, I’m looking up she fools around
I hear a cry, we see a car that’s upside down
We run away, holding my breath I close my eyes
I fall asleep, how did I ever climb this high?
I saw a change then, these cars are red, they should be green
Another shade now, I saw those colours in a dream
No sign, no tears, just colours in a dream
So fine, so clear
Summer far away, sun forms illusions from its glare
She burns away, leaving her conscience cold and bare
And from the trees, she seems to cry, she looks at me
We cry aloud wishing our party could shed leaves
It’s getting cold now
But the snow is warm and coloured cream
Another sleep now, I saw those colours in a dream
No sign, no fears, just colours in a dream
So fine, so clear

Butterfly
03:20
|
|||
|
Another bad night in my ship of dreams
Chasing dark shadows
From the corners of my eyes
It’s like a moth fluttering in my brain
My mind gives up on a battle it can’t win
I descend the stairs
Oh so sleepy I might fall
In this half-light of dawn
Throwing patterns in my hall
Sometimes thinking
feels like I’m sinking
In a river bed I thought was dry (x2)
Draw back the blinds
Oh so tired and on edge
In the golden light of morning
A butterfly on the window ledge
I hold it in my hands
Nervous I might hurt its wings
Outside my hands unfold
See how my butterfly he soars
Sometimes thinking feels like sinking
In a river bed I thought was dry
Sometimes thinking feels like sinking
Wish I could feel like a butterfly (x2)

Sad Garden
03:25
|
|||
|
Blossom grows on these trees so fragile
which overladen falls
Feel the chill wind blow
Now that spring is here, time and tide have changed
New scents ride the wind
Feel the chill wind blow
Cold like winter snow
Cold like desert nights
Cold like ocean floors
How can this be Spring when this chill wind blows?
Ornamental lakes, perfect aqua blue
Reflect me and you
I will dance for you
Trees in miniature, grass like emerald,
frame one geisha still
I will dance for you
Steps from memory
Ones that we rehearsed
When we danced as two
In this garden sad I will dance for you
Once you sang for me now all that remains
Is a sad refrain
I will sing for you
Feel the rhythm of songs this garden new
Hanging in the trees
I will sing for you
Words in shades of blue
Sounds that hollow ring
Chords that once were you
Notes no longer true
I will sing for you

Melanie's Destiny
02:55
|
|||
|
You left our home town
For University
You said important things
Are measured by degrees
Melanie’s destiny
Is something very special
Melanie’s destiny
Will not be superficial
Melanie’s destiny
Does not align with me
I heard you met someone
On a gap year overseas
Two star-crossed lovers
Working for charity
Melanie’s…
I missed your homecoming
I wasn’t there to see
How you’d unravelled
From your addictive needs
Melanie’s…

Care Of
05:16
|
|||
|
I wrote to Robert, care of the Angels
An address that’s sometimes close to me
You left us in the nineteen seventies
Didn’t even get to see your twenties
If you were still here like you should have been
Oh my friend all the things you would have seen
Robert Dear Robert
Dear Paul Dear Jane
I’m just writing to say
I’d love to see you all again
Paul I can hear you, jam with the Angels
In a place that sounds so close to me
You play piano and flute in your velvet suit
Then blowing cool sax in your daddy’s Big Band
Paul though I can’t touch you no more
Your melodies touch me like before
Robert…
Jane you’ve been charming all the Angels
That’s not hard for you to do
Pretty and clever with a wit so keen
Gone for so long and so sadly missed
Jane what would you have been
A prophet? a poet? a beauty queen?
Or something else?
Robert…

Never Ending Summer
03:57
|
|||
|
Once upon a summer, seems like only yesterday
On the beach at night, boys and girls come out to play
Silhouettes in fire-light, as they dance the night away
Oh oh oh - oh oh oh oh oh
Slip into a beach-hut, passion’s pulling hard then
Susie got it on, with her sister’s boy-friend
She thought it was serious, so it was till summer’s end
Oh oh oh - oh oh oh oh
This was our time - our never ending summer
This was our time – our never ending summer
This was our time – our never ending summer
This was our time – our never ending summer
The party’s in full swing, intoxicated attitudes
Fight comes out of nowhere, someone in a wet-suit
Tripped over a couple, coupling in the sand dunes
Oh oh oh – Oh oh oh oh oh
This was our time
Sometimes when I close my eyes
I feel the sea-wind blow and I sigh
Sometimes when I close my eyes
I still hear the laughter and I could cry
Gary wheel-span in the sand, drove his car onto the beach
So we dug it free, saved it from the morning sea
The fire’s nearly out, everybody falls asleep
Oh oh oh – oh oh oh oh oh
Chorus
This was our time – this was our time x 2
Oh what a summer! x 3
