Flashes In The Sky

My mama always said 'You should view it from a different perspective, Things happen when you least expect it, don't go looking coz it's not effective, you're not Sherlock Holmes don't try and inspect it no'.
My daddy always said 'You never know what tomorrow will bring in, God knows your heart is stinging, things happen when the lights are dimming, everythings fine, you're just beginning'.
'I see flashes in the sky, and I come alive, and I know that things will be alright' x2.
My how you always said 'You should dig a little bit deeper, step back and take a breather, bye bye to the nonbelievers, you don't have to be so eager.
And one day I'm gunna say 'You can change, whatever you desire, my hearts no longer out for hire. I'm ready to walk on the wire, higher and higher and higher and higher.
'I see flashes in the sky, and I come alive, and I know that things will be alright' (til end)

I'm Usually Kind

If you change your mind then, all you've got to do is call, and I'll go breaking down the walls.
If you you're missing me then, all you've got to do is call, and I wouldn't mess around at all.
Coz life ain't always like a dream, there's a tidal wave just down the stream,
And I'll try to keep my mouth shut tight tight tight but the pressure cooker's on all night.
I'm begging you please (oh baby please)
I'm down on my knees (oh baby please)
I'm usually kind (oh baby please)
Had things on my mind (oh baby please forgive me)
If you feel unusual, all you've got to do is call, and I'll go breaking down the walls
If you want someone to bug you, all you've got to do is call, and I won't mess around at all.
Coz life ain't always like a dream, there's a tidal wave just down the stream,
And I'll try to keep my mouth shut tight tight tight but the pressure cooker's on all night.
I'm begging you please (oh baby please)
I'm down on my knees (oh baby please)
I'm usually kind (oh baby please)
Had things on my mind (oh baby please forgive me)

Italia 1990

This is the same old story that you've heard before, Boy meets girl whilst she's sucking on a straw, and never in the past had he desired so much, to be a mechanism in a drink that helps you suck.
He got a line ready and he shuffled up to her, They had a little dance to show off things that might occur. It was hard to deck the night-bus with style, charm and grace but he couldn't pay a taxi all the way to his place,
Gotta stop falling gotta stop falling in love, With anything that's got a pulse it just ain't good for my health man
Gotta stop falling gotta stop falling in love, I'm going out my mind so don't ya come around here...
(Cho)
Soaked in all the tears of Italia 1990', weren't we really near? Like Italia 1990'.
And so you move in together and you get tattoos, During the 1st 6 months you say your please and thank you's, and you drink with other couples acting all civilised, pay halves on taxi's coz we share and share alike but
Something creeps in, slowly seeps in tearing up apart
Bickering nonsense from 6 til 3, It's the same old story begging on your knees.
Gotta stop falling gotta stop falling in love, With anything that's got a pulse it just ain't good for my health
Gotta stop falling gotta stop falling in love, I'm going out my mind so don't ya come around here...
(Cho)
Soaked in all the tears of Italia 1990', weren't we really near? Like Italia 1990'.

Merry-Go-Round
03:37

Too much wine and too much time without you
Too much Gin is sinking in without you
I went down to Chinatown without you
Ain't been taking my trousers down without you
If she say she don't care no more
Well people walk in and out of your life everyday
Who's that knocking at your door?
Someone to make you smile and make your head sore
We all live on a merry-go-round,
Sometimes we go up and then we go down,
I wouldn't have it any other way.
I've been staring into space without you,
I don't mean the stars, I mean any old place without you.
I've been smoking all the fags without you,
I don't tell myself to watch my health without you.
If she say she don't care no more
Well people walk in and out of your life everyday
Who's that knocking at your door?
Someone to make you smile and make your head sore
We all live on a merry-go-round,
Sometimes we go up and then we go down,
I wouldn't have it any other way. (x3)
I went to that special place wihtout you
Bought some whiskey just in case I saw you
But then I thought why the hell shoudl i adore you
Now look who's getting on alright without you

Don't Throw It Away
03:34

You're the only one that could kill me,
But no-one's killing me today,
When I met you I had nothing,
But you even took that away.
You're the sweetest memory I've got,
But the taste is getting bitter coz you're slowly backing up each day.
(Chorus)
Don't hold me like you're doing me a favour, don't treat me like you wouldn't even give me the time of day, You're my perfect flavour, and we won't be around forever, so don't throw it away.
I used to dance all night to your heartbeat,
But now you won't push play.
I'm slowly getting comfortable begging,
Begging you to make it OK.
You're the hottest memory I've got,
But the weather's getting colder coz you're turning down the heat each day.
(Chorus)
Don't hold me like you're doing me a favour, don't treat me like you wouldn't even give me the time of day, You're my perfect flavour, and we won't be around forever, so don't throw it away.

My Oh My
02:49

It just takes a bit of time, you always say you're feeling fine, but how the rain falls in your mind, watching the clouds go by. you've been waiting all your life, for someone to blow your mind, I hear you sighing my oh my, watching the world go by, you never thought you were good enough, you've always beaten yourself up, slow it down and you'll be fine, watching the clouds go by.
I never thought this would be my life, I've always wanted so much more than this, all it takes is a bit of time, one day you'll have it all and laugh about the days when you said my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my.
You go to bed so full of regrets, you're a walking silhouette, lost in the smoke from the cigarettes, you haven't found yourself quite yet.
You mourn the things that you haven't done, you always thought you'd be the one, don't need to go on the run, sit back and watch the sun.
All the people that you miss, all the ones that you didn't kiss, one day it'll all make sense, you don't have to feel so tense.
I never thought this would be my life, I've always wanted so much more than this, all it takes is a bit of time, one day you'll have it all and laugh about the days when you said my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my.

Icarus (ft Donna Lovell)

"I've got your secrets, wrapped up in wonder,
you've got my way home, wrapped up in thunder.
If you're my sunshine, I need a raincoat, I'm lost at sea and, I haven't got a boat.
I'm tuning into you, please change the channel, I'm a shaded solar panel.
You've got the good stuff, so radiate more, you come and go and, you're never too sure.
Our love is worthy of a Greek mythology metaphor.
(I know that I'm Earthbound tonight, at the break of dawn I'm flying towards the light)
(Chorus)
Hi I'm Icarus, I'm trying to get near you, you burn my wings everytime now I fear you,
Next time, I fly towards the sunshine, don't send me spinning to the ground.
Your love is solar, the sweetest soda, like cherry cola, got sugar coma,
I felt sun-kissed, invigorated, give me another hit, I'm refrigerated.
(Chorus)
Hi I'm Icarus, I'm trying to get near you, you burn my wings everytime now I fear you,
Next time, I fly towards the sunshine, don't send me spinning to the ground.
Our love is worthy of a Greek mythology metaphor.
(I know that I'm Earthbound tonight, at the break of dawn I'm flying towards the light x2)
(Chorus)
Hi I'm Icarus, I'm trying to get near you, you burn my wings everytime now I fear you,
Next time, I fly towards the sunshine, don't send me spinning to the ground" (x2)

We got on the train, ran into the sea, caught the last one home, drunkenly sleepy,
Everytime I go to bed I miss your energy, you'd look great upon the space that constantly taunts me.
I've been surfing on the wavelengths of your mind, I've been dreaming of the day when we can say goodbye and not leave each others arms.
We went to the fair, we got lost in time, pretended I was yours, pretended you was mine.
Everytime I go to bed I miss your energy, you'd look great upon the space that constantly taunts me.
I've been surfing on the wavelengths of your mind, I've been dreaming of the day when we will say goodbye and not leave each others arms.

The Hairdresser Song
03:59

Maybe I'm paranoid, but you're scaring me half to death, I'm quite razor-sharp enough to take the test.
I really wanna know, the sacred secrets, only that your hairdresser would know, about you x2
You're a cut above the rest, but I really should confess, there's a dark side deep within your soul, highlight it or I'll lose control.
I don't know your friends, but I know you've got split ends, There's a Majesty within your eyes, but you use your fringe to hide your lies.
Maybe I'm paranoid, but you're scaring me half to death, I'm quite razor-sharp enough to take the test.
I really wanna know, the sacred secrets, only that your hairdresser would know, about you x2
You're so complementary, but you can't condition me, I want to get get to know to the girl, behind the blackened scruffy curls.
What's your favourite colour? Are you scared of dying? There's a Majesty within your eyes, but you use your fringe to hide your lies.
I really wanna know, the sacred secrets, only that your hairdresser would know, about you x2

Mind Out

Mind out of her way, Mind out she won't stay, and you can't make her, try all you want you can't change her, Mind has gone astray, from the mind games that you played, and you can't make her, cry all you want you won't change her mind, and you can't make her, cry all you want you won't change her mind.
