Next Time We See Each other 02:03
lyrics
buy track
The next time that we see each other We’re both gonna be so happy The next time that you say my name We’re gonna sing and dance the same As we did that Summer And the first time that we met Seems like it’s been forever But we ain’t started yet The next time that we sit together We’re both gonna keep on talking The next time that I see you smile I’m gonna run a four minute mile And we’ll chase away the bad times And we’ll never sing the blues I’ll give you two good reasons One is me, the other’s you Hey, remember that time in San Francisco When we broke our hotel key? Well, I never felt without a home ‘Cause you were there with me The next time that we see each other We’re both gonna be so happy

Everyone Will Be Your Friend In Heaven 03:53
lyrics
buy track
Outsider no longer Divided but stronger All vanity ended Your truth is surrendered Everyone will be your friend in heaven Defeat stays a mystery Swept under your history No more fear of falling Your future is calling Everyone will be your friend in heaven Your face is the colour of ivory You’re waiting for someone who’s late Keep checking your watch and frowning deep Believing you know your own fate I’m no story teller No psychic umbrella But we were all warned Since first light had dawned Everyone will be your friend in heaven BREAK A loop of film on a spinning reel The mess that we make when we think Clattering crystal, champagne zeal That one great idea in a blink What is it you want? Survivor or savant? You know you can’t have it Still, you reach down deep to grab it Everyone will be your friend in heaven

Money Don't Count 03:49
lyrics
buy track
Just as he got his head on straight His body fell apart A life of adventure lay in wait But he never was that smart In one semi quaver He’s sadder but braver The new village burner Is a nice little earner Money don’t count When you’re climbing up the mount Money don’t count When you’re trying to get out Every time she speaks It’s like a flashbulb going off Kisses on both cheeks And a snout lost in the trough When one boy smothers She conjures up others In chorus girl outfits Her antennae transmits Money don’t count... Reflections in your spoon So tiny and distorted Like a child you never had Alone and unsupported Eliminate those old regrets You always blame your mother Your wager moves to safer bets Your sisters and your brothers They’ll never desert you You know they won’t hurt you They share your code of honour Now you know you’re a goner Money don’t count...

Peace In Sleep 04:36
lyrics
buy track
This story belongs to everyone But it ain’t for Wall Street or Hollywood The world will spin as it’s always done But no one will love you more than I ever could I’m not a currency you can spend I’m not a road that has no end I’m not a trinket that you can keep I want to be the peace in your deepest sleep You’ve played every note that you can find Scared of the dark and afraid of the day In each haunted house lives a carousel mind But when the trapdoor slams, then you’re here to stay I’m not a currency... Making fun of the poetry of life Slits my soul like a robber’s flick knife You’re not ready to talk about it today It’s nothing - forget it - make it go away Not one of us knows what is to come And if he tells you he does, then he’s a liar Don’t sit here alone and wait ‘til you’re numb I will stay with you and help to rebuild this fire I’m not a currency...

Bands Around His Heart 03:08
lyrics
buy track
Suburban life destroyed his regal dignity It was a lonely year on a lonesome quest of futility Darkened places, flashing lights Failed to brighten up his nights The bands around his heart were lost at sea The hair grew from his head like a crown of thorns He’d never ventured very far from the place that he was born Open all the windows wide ‘cause he’s coming home to hide The bands around his heart were old and worn Hearts squirming with envy The truth about life Is written in memory Heavy-lidded eyes and a smile as wide as The Heads Helped him open doors to many noble palaces But a robber and a thief can’t hold a fairytale motif The bands around his heart were left in shreds Hearts squirming with envy... Are you happy where you are now that we’ve spoken? The words they put inside your mouth came out broken Are you happy where you are, now the consumer is the star? The bands around his heart were burst wide open

Gazelle (Run Your Own Race) 03:42
lyrics
buy track
I took a lot of risks I didn’t look behind Never had a better option But I could speak my mind ‘Cause I had my freedom And that’s more than hope Yes, I had my peace To keep me steady on the tightrope Gazelle, you run your own race I only made as much money As I was ready to lose I had a foot in two camps But I could never choose Oh, decision maker Oh, human wreck Lonesome heartbreaker Save your own neck Gazelle... Your story doesn’t matter if you can’t tell it Your soul will not support you if you sell it You can’t wash your hands clean When you’re running the machine There is no failure There is only life There is no better teacher Than the blade of a knife While I’m still choosing Between fight and flight I don’t know what’s next But I know what’s right Gazelle...

One More Year 04:37
lyrics
buy track
One more year Is all I ask To feel the warmth of your embrace To see the sunrise on your face To know you’re near One more year One more smile Is all I need To hear the music of my soul Your many notes that make me whole A symphony of style One more smile Insolent and reckless I have no case to plead But if I weren’t so feckless Would you concede? I’m not expecting to improve on any year before Just any year with you, my dear Who could ask for more? One more day Is all I crave To know the certainty of you The sweet eternity of two Then I’ll be on my way One more day One more day One more smile One more year

What's The Reason? 03:45
lyrics
buy track
I have nothing left, I gave it away For a better life, for a rainy day Now I’m caught in a storm of tears and screams My best advice is follow your dreams If everything happens for a reason What’s the reason? If everything is for a good cause, just because Don’t say it’s the season What’s the reason? While history is still getting writ You can charm that snake without getting bit Congratulations - you cracked the code Whatever you wear is a la mode If everything... Back off, back off for the good of the cause You beat your chest but never opened any doors You’re so dumb, but you’re on top You’re swigging champagne like it’s diet soda pop It’s a social circle fire drill So break that glass and pop that pill Let’s all meet at the big end of town We’ll turn that smirk into a tidy little frown If everything...

Underinked 03:31
lyrics
buy track
I need a document on my skin I need somebody to live in I want a story I can tell Please fetch me something from your wishing well I’m underinked I don’t care what you think I’m not so pretty in pink I’m underinked I want some colour in my life If I can’t have colour I’ll draw a knife I don’t want some Latin phrase Just give me purple haze I’m underinked... My brain is on the blink... Don’t care if it takes all night (don’t hurt me) Just make sure you get it right One slip and it’s all in vain Ah, the pain - ah, the pain So, my girlfriend has got a rose I guess I should get one of those And my buddy has a Cross right here So, maybe just a small one behind my ear I’m underinked... My shrink says I’m on the brink... I’m not so pretty in pink...

Honey's Gone 05:06
lyrics
buy track
She smiled at me and said goodbye I didn’t know her her to laugh or cry Honey’s gone So I went outside to start the car She said, ‘I’m fine - it’s not that far’ Now Honey’s gone Honey’s gone She left last night Now all is wrong that once was right No one to cheer me on Honey’s gone We walked together side by side We talked forever, nothing to hide Honey’s gone From politics to Polly Jean Through thunder storms to fields of green Honey’s gone Honey’s gone... Deep down in her sad brown eyes Sometimes I’d see a cloudy sky That built up over fifteen years But I always thought she’d stay right here Time stands still and time can fly No one can tell you how or why Honey’s gone Love will come and love will go But Honey always stole the show Honey’s gone Honey’s gone... Maybe down the track a-way We’ll meet again on some fine day We’ll find a table, sit down here Grab ourselves a beer But you don’t drink beer So maybe tequila, or a Shire Squealer Whatever - I don’t care Just as long as you’re there Honey’s gone

Show Pony #3 03:35
lyrics

Hey, show pony Take me along for the ride Just be yourself You don’t have to hide Don’t forget to be kind Show pony Especially to those that you love Don’t waste your time You don’t have to please everyone No one’s watching No one will get in your way Let’s leave the show It’ll be there on some other day If you want it That’s what you need to find out Will you survive? Or, are you down for the count? I can see show pony You’re never one to complain But, if you did, would it help ease the pain Of trying to be someone, dear Someone who you’ll never be Forget about them Now it’s just you and me The show doesn’t have to go on I don’t know why you’ve taken this long But, now that you know You can run your own show And you don’t need their show to belong Hey, show pony Don’t forget what you hold dear The only trust You’ll ever need is right here Hey, show pony Take me along for the ride Just be yourself, and love me Just be yourself, and need me Just be yourself, show pony
