There she is the ominous one
Smoking on the horizon
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
Byzantine paths are paved in gold
Oh how fools try
Where does Atlantis lie
Reflected in the pool on the hill top house
Do you see it darling do you see the red drip down?
The hill is bleeding quicker now it’s coming very close
Did you see it darling do you see it right now
Right now?
Seductive as it is a force
Nature is not ours to behold
Only you would fall in love
You like what you can’t ever have
Danger is your rush
Temptation is a drug
Chorus
Right now
Right now
Krakatoa, Tambora, Kelut, Tal
Mayon Aso, Fuji, Katmar, Novarupta
Villarica, Mount Pele, Paricutin
Faial, Hekla, Beerenburg, Thera
Etna, Sesia, Vesuvius and Stromboli

City
02:55

I opened the window
What did I see
I saw the waves lapping at my feet
So I jumped from the balcony
Into the deep
The fish just beside me
Just out of reach
Take me far away
Sometimes I can’t even breathe
I know this city too well
And I think it’s killing me
I felt so peaceful
I didn’t feel scared
Only the darkness far out ahead
So I kept to the rocks and things I could see
I love it down there I love it down deep
Chorus
I saw the long rope fade into dark
The umbilical cord
A path back to the top
I want to come back I don’t want to stay
I like to dip in and know that I will be okay

Comeback Kid
03:50
|

|
Things got so quiet around here
When you left that day
We thought we’d seen it all
Why did you have to go away?
I know you know it’s such a shame.
I want you the Comeback Kid I miss the heady days
I want you the Comeback Kid the future’s far behind
I never knew how much I’d miss you things got messy here
How could I tell you the mistake that I made then
Everybody’s got talking
Saying you were gone for good
Never gonna come back no reason to
I heard it was not your fault at all
Chorus
Now not past not present not future
Now not past not present not future
Yes now present not future not past it
It’s now that we can try to hold on to
Future but it’s not for us to see
Try to shape it’s not so easy
Now not past not present not future
Now not past not present not future
Comeback Kid I miss those heady days
Comeback Kid the future’s far behind

Days
03:16
|

|
I don’t care about money
I don’t need your name
I won’t ask for anything
I just need you to ask if I’m ok
I’ve never wanted for much
I’m better now than I was
I’ve always lived in the present
I never look back I never do say
These are the days the days I’ll look after
I will keep them safe
Today is the day I will always remember
Because you mean that much to me
I don’t care about your age
I know you like your space
You don’t want me to crowd you
I just want you to ask if I’m ok
I worry sometimes you know
It’s a natural way to be
You put your arm around me
And ask me if I’ll be okay
Chorus
Outro ..La la

Walking
03:04
|
|||
|
I’m just walking cause I got a breeze
I want to take you up the Bluebell hill
I can feel the change blow through my hair
The wind that swept the leaves away last year
Walking I like talking
Taking it easy
Taking it easy on yourself
I’m just talking cause I got good news
I want to tell you about the day I had at work
It’s a strange thing to say but it’s not so bad
Working for a man who got out of jail free
Chorus
I’m just kissing cause I like the taste of you
I like the way you take me by surprise
I can feel you there when I’m nowhere near
I know you’ll be up there on Bluebell Hill
I’m just taking my time these days
It seems so strange I was always so busy you see
But I need ideas and they don’t come so easy
And that’s why I like walking
Take it easy on yourself

Flowerbed
04:00
|
|||
|
I want to lie with you
In the heat of the afternoon
Sunny days ever long
Bring me a chariot of gold
Do you know the garden where the heart grows?
Deep in the flowerbed that’s where my lover goes
I want to stay for a while
Write the plans we made last time
Spring will bring what it will again
Count the nights wrapped in your arms
Do you know the garden where the heart grows?
Deep in the flowerbed that’s where my lover goes
Do you see they bow their heads at sundown?
Will your gaze follow me until dawn?
Do you see?

Ladder
03:42
|
|||
|
I don’t like conflict
Decisions bother me
They told me that I’m no leader
But just you wait and see
I stick to my guns
I protect my head
But I’m no angel
I like to get close to the edge
I got my right foot on the ladder
The left one’s on the ground
I want to try and reach the top
But something’s dragging me back down
Down, down
I’ve been waiting all day
There’s no one around
You told me take it easy
But that’s not who I am
Change is what we need
Easier said than done
If we had the freedom
I’m sure we’d all like to run
Chorus
Down….

Weightlessly
02:59
|
|||
|
Light me a cigarette
I need a toke
In this fading light
It reminds me of home
I need a place I can escape to
A little bit of something after a hard day at work
I need you and you need me
Weightlessly
Pour me a glass
I like the taste
Everybody says I drink too much
It’s getting harder out there
I need a place to hide away
A little bit of something after a hard day
I need you and you need me
Weightlessly
Tell them I’m going to be okay
I don’t need help I do it my way
I don’t care what people say
They don’t know me anyway
I need a place to run away
A little bit of something to turn the key
I need you and you need me
Weightlessly
Pour me a glass
I like the feel…..

Hold It
03:36
|

|
I want you to take off my clothes
Unzip the dress I wore to impress
Hold me tonight just as you said
I want to take you longing to bed
Kiss me till I cannot see take me far away from me
And hold it
Strip off my uniform heal any pain
Tell me tonight you love me this way
Bury my fears, kiss my lips tight
Tell me that you want me tonight
So I can do things to make you let go
Know how you tick, take it real slow
And hold it
And hold it
Twist me around, trapped in your arms
Touch me where nobody else can
Fill my glass half, full and complete
Don’t tell a soul it’s a secret we keep
Tell me you’ll never I cry to sleep
Can’t bear to wake I know I am weak
And hold it
Hold It
And hold It
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah
And hold It
Electric your touch, warm is your heart
Hope I can swim not drown in this love
Rise up the phoenix the blood in my veins
Want you to come for you to remain
Reach for Eris, the Kuiper belt
Scatter the stars just as you left
So I can take you with me tonight
So we can split atoms till morning light……
Ah Ah Ah…..outro

If?
02:30
|
|||
|
If I could change I would
I’d be strong never give up
It’s harder now than before
To hold on
But I can’t let it go
So I won’t let myself fall
If I could predict what will be
I would perfect the dream home
My hopes that carry me through
The things I hold on to
But I can’t let it go
So I won’t let myself fall
If I could just see the light
Dark shapes keep blocking my view
I know there’s a way through here
Memories last years
But I can’t let it go
So I won’t let myself fall
So I won’t let myself fall
