Eggbeat 02:43
lyrics

I belong to you And you belong to me Together we plant our tree In town as in country Yours is mine is ours The carpet and the towels Possessions to waste the hours Until tomorrow You're the one, the one that sets me free You're the one, the one that makes me Remembering the past As places on the map Remember but don't look back Until tomorrow You're the one, the one that sets me free You're the one, the one gets me You're the one, the one that sets me free You're the one , the one that makes me You're the one, the one that gets me The egg, the seed, the two that make us three, yeah!

You're The Only One I Call 04:04
lyrics

You're the only one I call I've written your number on the back of my brain Any little thing at all I can get an opinion, I can get a refrain Writing something on your wall, ha! Telling you something you don't already know Just to pass the time, that's all The feeling is there but I've got nothing to show Ooh ooh Ah ah ah ah ah Looking in your day to day Checking the world is still spinning the same way Grounded in a special way Lucky for you I've got my feet on the floor I just want to hear you say That what you're doing to me is what I'm doing to you Cos sometimes it's the other way I've bitten the apple now there's nothing to chew Ooh ooh Ah ah ah ah ah You're the only one I call I've written your number on the back of my brain Being at your beck and call Get my attention with a turn of a phrase You're the only one I call Breaking the silence when there's nothing to say today

The Hard Way 03:58
lyrics

Sooner or later you're going to find out the hard way Sooner or later You're going to tell me it's over Between you and that boy I never saw you two together I know what's coming You want your old life back, this time you mean it And your side of the bed You always got just what you wanted Sooner or later you're going find out the hard way Call me a sucker But I think we both know what the score is That I've heard it before Doesn't make this any easier Sooner or later you're going to find out the hard way

Still 04:48
lyrics
buy track
I want to wake up With that feeling again Touch is a memory Like the smell of your skin I never wanted this I could be dreaming of just one kiss Still Cold light of morning And I look in your eyes To see what you're made of Why the sun doesn't rise You said you wanted to stay I didn't want to feel this way Still Why is it always me? Why do I feel this big empty? Still

You'll Still Have Me 04:06
lyrics
buy track
When all else fails We'll still have each other When everyone bails You'll still have me When a summer's day Feels like December When the wind in your sails has gone When time stands still I'll stick around The last guest at your party When everything's said and put to bed You'll still have me Does anybody hear me? Those bridges burned down fast Can anybody see to recognise Mistakes made in their past? I'll turn the other cheek When all else fails We'll still have each other When everyone bails You'll still have me I'll wait at the bar A last toast 'fore we're parted One for the road, you hope You'll still have me

Holy Ghost 02:24
lyrics
buy track
Oh my love, we fit like hand in glove But it's never the right time and we get along just fine At close of play we'll turn right round and say If there was ever a reason, it was lost on the wind Oh, when you smile so sweet Still knocks me off of my feet You'll never do me wrong, you're strong And you're gone Holy ghost, you trouble me the most Skipping the wrong way down a one-way street And now and then it drives me round the bend Trying to think straight about anything but you Oh, when you smile so sweet Still knocks me off of my feet You'll never do me wrong, you're strong And you're gone

Museum 03:31
lyrics
buy track
Saw you last night in the museum You held your cards where I couldn't see 'em Saw you last night in my dreams You made them all turn out so real You had your man and your babe in tow You looked happy, I was on my own You took me aside and your husband waved I think you said his name was Dave So where did it go, from ten years ago? A smile from ear to ear I'll take what I'm shown, the grey hairs and all The girl I knew is old A moment alone in the glimmer Beyond the window lies the river I opened my heart about the dreams I'd had You said nothing and just shook your head Where did it go, from ten years ago? A smile from ear to ear Where did it go, from ten years ago? A smile from ear to ear From year to year From tear to tear A smile from here to here

Let's Make Mistakes 03:12
lyrics
buy track
Let's make mistakes Let's take the brakes off Jump in the lake Let's throw some shapes on the floor There's always the wild one One with something to loose There's always the quiet one There's always the one you have to chose to take Let's make mistakes Let's have a cake fight Let's break some plates Let's mix our grapes and grain tonight There's always the wild one One with something to loose There's always the quiet one There's always the one you have to chose to take Let's make mistakes

Heartbreak In The Water 03:54
lyrics
buy track
There's heartbreak in the water That flows out to the sea Oceans of misery That you're pouring on me There's black rain down the windows That extinguishes the light Tears of retribution That are blinding my sight All by myself again Talking to you The sadness overfloweth Fill your cup up to the brim With drops of bloody slaughter And a measure of gin There's heartbreak in the water And it's poisoning the well Waves of confrontation You do it so well All by myself again Talking to you All I want to say is It was great while we were friends And if I had my time tomorrow I'd do it again But can he swim? Or is his will too thin? All by myself again Talking to you There's heartbreak in the water There's heartbreak in the water There's heartbreak in the water

My Song 03:34
lyrics
buy track
A long time ago we said We'd never go to bed on a fight And now it seems that's all that we do Until we turn out the light Somewhere in a lonely room There's nothing left but the void of the day And it's something we try to disguise Pretend it was meant that way Something has to give for you, girl If you want to keep from going insane You've got to take the plunge and pull the chain If you want to get off the train Don't walk away from me yet There's still something left to say I'll sing you my song and I'm gone Who knows where the burden lay? Time has passed, the years have gone There's nothing left but the shell of a life And we can fill it with all that we've learned And make something to survive Don't walk away from me yet There's still something left to say I'll sing you my song and I'm gone Who knows where the burden lay? I'll take back all the things I said I sill love you, babe And though we're still working it out There's still so much left to save

Hallelujah 02:50
lyrics

I was lost and now I'm saved Hallelujah! I was no one, now I'm made Hallelujah! The penny dropped, I've seen the light I lost the race but that's all right Hallelujah! I had doubts when I was young About the future Now they've all been proven wrong Hallelujah We made it through, we realised The fog has lifted from our eyes Hallelujah Something changed Speaking to you Made it plain I was lost and now I'm saved Hallelujah! I was no one, now I'm made Hallelujah! We made it through, we realised The fog has lifted from our eyes Hallelujah! Hallelujah Something changed Speaking to you Made it plain Bah bah bah bah...
