Profoundly Unsuccessful
02:46
|

I never wanted to be famous
And I never wanted to be rich
Never give up, Never give up
You can be as unsuccessful
Never give up, Never give up
You can be as unsuccessful as I’m successful
I never asked to be a singer
And I can barely sing a song
Never give up, Never give up
You can be as unsuccessful
Never give up, Never give up
You can be as unsuccessful as I’m successful

Halo of Hair
02:01
|
|||
Trying to fill my fist with sand
Feel it running through my hand
Realise everything is all in all to me
Set my sails to sail away/west
Set my sails to sail me far from here
Realise everything is all in all to me
Let me sail her, let me sail her away
I still remember being there, can picture your halo of hair

You said, I said “You said No”
That was long ago
And I didn’t say nothing
You cant, I will, we won’t go
That was yesterday
When it all came crashing
Down, around, me, and then…
Something when astray when I tried to save the day
That was long ago
And I didn’t do nothing
Think I'll go away, maybe just a day
That was yesterday
And it all came crashing
Down, around, me, and then…

Hanging Around, feet on the ground
Life was mundane but that’s ok
Hanging Around, dulled to all sound
Life was the same day to day
Hanging around, head in the clouds
Hoped to be worth more someday
Hanging around, alone in the crowd
Didn’t dream you’d come back to stay
Now, I do what I’m told
Meet you in the fold
Coming around, head in the stars
An old love made new is what I’ve found
Coming around, hours spent in my car
Discovered old feels not gone to ground
From hanging around to coming around
You’ve shown me love is still for me
Now feet on the ground but head in the clouds
You’ve shown me who I can really be
But for now, I’ll do what I’m told
And meet you in the fold

NEXT!
02:31
|
|||
Where were you last night?
Something don’t seem right
I tried again, again
Just trying to break the chain
Can we go any faster
Can we go any further
Next!
I don’t know what to
Next!
It's all because of you
Something needs to change
Or things will stay the same
Help me work it out
And stop the grief and doubt
Can we go any faster
Can we go any further
Next!
I don’t know what to
Next!
It's all because of you

Laundry
01:01
|
|||
No, we never did the laundry
And no, we never had to fight

Should have made my mind up
Before we had the breakup
Try another make-up
Guess I’ll learn to shut up
It’s better to have loved and lost than to not at all
Cause when you get it back it makes you feel 10 feet tall
And when we’ve had enough we sometimes let it slip away
To a lifetime of regrets and a long list of thrown-aways
Never should have lost you
After all we’ve been through
Wish I could just undo
The way I’ve treated you
It’s better to have loved and lost than to not at all
Cause when you get it back it makes you feel 10 feet tall
And when we’ve had enough we sometimes let it slip away
To a lifetime of regrets and a long list of thrown-aways

Donna, 5A
02:20
|
|||
Saw you first in maths class
With a supply teacher and the glue-sniffing psychopaths
But it was when we both did art
That you stole in and painted a number on my heart
Donna from 5A
I can’t believe you moved away
Now 30 years from that day
I hope I can make you stay
We grew up on the same street
So it was probably fated we should meet
That’s what I said when way back then
But when you moved I thought I’d never see you again
Donna from 5A
I can’t believe you moved away
Now 30 years from that day
I hope I can make you stay.

Who Could Ask For More?
02:57
|
|||
I did everything you wanted
Who could ask for more?
Have another gin and tonic
Have three or four
Race to the bottom of a bottle
And to the floor
I did everything you wanted
Who could ask for more?
Have another cup of coffee
Who still needs more?
I thought that was the last time
Been here before
But, for you its only half time
Still need to score
You’ve got everything you wished for
But, still want more?

Ball of Light
06:31
|
|||
I want to be there when you wake up
I want to be the first face you see
I want to be there when we make up
I want your love always for me
I want to be there when the sun’s up
I want that light to always fall on me
I want to be there when your blood’s up
I want your rage for everyone to see
I’ll hold what I hold, a ball of light so bright it always burns
I’ll know what I know, to hold on tight as fast as this world turns.
