LYRICS
Well Hello
Fancy seeing you again
I recognised although you've changed
You were my first love
And I thought I would die

But hello
It's so good to see you
And I survived
Without loving you
Or am I lying to myself once again
'Cos here comes the pain

They say that time
Heals a broken heart
But it just hurts more
The longer we're apart

Instrumental

You were my first love
And I thought I would die
But Hello
It's so good to see you
But Hello
It's so good to see you

It's so good to see you

LYRICS
The place was so right
The timing was wrong
I thought that she might
But I came on too strong

And for now I'm just lying in the sun
Burning my back again
Burning my back again

I knew I was wrong
And I'd like to say
Just give me a chance
I'd be different today

But for now I'm just lying in the sun
Burning my back again
Burning my back again

I'll lay in the sand
And the things that I'd planned
Are like bubbles that burst on the breeze

Instrumental

I might see her later
And get down on my knees
Beg for forgiveness
And another chance please

But for now I'm just lying in the sun
Burning my back again
Burning my back again

Burning my back again

Outro

Burning My Back Again

LYRICS
Well look who's here, it's so nice to see you
How's your life been up 'til now
And are you dating all those handsome fellers
The ones you dreamed of every night

And does it make you feel alright
Does it make you feel alright

And I knew that I could never keep you
You weren't made for the small town life
And I knew how that city life just called you
The parties and the dancing and the lights

And does it make you feel alright
Does it make you feel alright

And I'm here if you need me
My shoulders ready for your tears

Instrumental

And does it make you feel alright
Does it make you feel alright

Outro

It Really Doesn't Matter

LYRICS
We'd been out dancin'
But I'd been drinkin', I'd been flirting
She'd been laughing, and I'd been cursin'
I don't know why

I've been workin'
She was a mother but I'd been flirting
I wasn't there for her, this wasn't dreaming
And I don't know why

 But she said when we went to bed that night
Things have changed
She said, if you don't love me
You can't touch me (be on your way [in next two choruses])

But now I miss you
I want to kiss you and I aint flirting
We need to go back dancin', romancing
I love you

Chorus
Inst
Verse 3
Chorus

You Can't Touch Me

Lyrics
The water was cold
As we stepped from the bank
Under the blue skies above
And never once did we speak of romance
And never once spoke of love

But I hear your laugh on the wind
And see your face in the clouds
And now and then I could swear it was you
Hiding away in the crowd

But then we grew up
Put our child toys away
And we never even said our goodbyes
Innocence fled, naivety ran
But I still see the colour of your eyes

But I hear your laugh on the wind
And see your face on the clouds
And now and then I could swear it was you
Hiding away in the crowd

Instrumental

But I hear your laugh on the wind
And see your face on the clouds
And now and then I could swear it was you
Hiding away in the crowd

The fun we had then
Comes back now and then clearer than yesterday
The blue skies have gone
And the sun that had shone
In my eyes has faded away

Outro

Childhood Dreams

Ambient Circles (Instrumental)

LYRICS
Where do you go when you're on your own
Do you listen to the songs and the stories on the radio
Do you listen through the night
Does it make you feel alright
Do you want me there to really hold you tight

Or am I painting roses for you
Make you're mind up and make it soon

You say you love me too
But I can't believe that's true
My friends all tell me They've seen you with someone new
But I keep hanging on And hope that they are gone
But where do you go to when you're on your own

Or am I painting roses for you
Make you're mind up and make it soon

Instrumental

The voices in my head tell me this romance is dead
And I guess it's time I should be moving on
But when you say don't go you've made your mind up
Then I'll know
Where you go to when you're on your own

Outro

Painting Roses

LYRICS
She left me standing there
And I hadn't got a word to say
Weatherman said it's gonna be fair
But I knew winter's on the way.

Summer sun was burning my back
But I shivered as she walked away
Not a cloud in that crystal blue sky
But I knew winter's on the way

She looked at me
And I felt the chill
But I wish that she would stay
Feels like I'm running up hill
And winters on the way

Instrumental

I guess I knew it all along
That it weren't no good for me to pray
I just stood there and I knew it won't be long
And winters on the way

She looked at me
And I felt the chill
But I wish that she would stay
Feels like I'm running up hill
And winters on the way
And winters on its way
And winters on its way
And winters on its way

Winters On The Way

I think I’m Broken(Instrumental)

This was recorded back in 2014 and forgotten until now.

Come on in

LYRICS
I saw her standing there she was  throwing dice
I said hey babe you're looking kinda nice
She said why don't you buy me a drink
Over by the bar
She was drinking Tequila
And I hadn't said a word so far

I said do you wanna dance with me
Find a place where
There's only you and me
And we can dance to the sun is over the hill

She said wait a minute you're moving too fast Slow down
Well I'm not the kinda girl
That puts it out all over this town
But if you want to call me now
Well I guess that's alright
I'll give you my number
And you can call me tomorrow night

I said do you wanna dance with me
Find a place where
There's only you and me
And we can dance to the sun is over the hill

Instrumental

Well she gave me her number and a goodnight kiss
And I can't wait for  tomorrow
When I'm feeling like this
Well the number I called and called
Doesn't seem to exist
And I'm beginning to wonder
Did she ever exist

Outro

Until the Sun Comes Over The Hill

Here’s one that was recorded way back, pretty rough production but I still quite like it.
Lyrics 
I see you standing in the corner of the room
Guess you think it's kinda cool
But come on babe
Come on and dance with me.

Checked you out and you're looking good
All dressed up like I new you would
But come on babe
Come on and dance with me.

Grooving to the music and you're looking great
Don't waste time 'cos it's getting late
But come on babe
Come on and dance with me.

You're dancing fast and you're dancing slow
Come on Hon lets give it a go
But come on babe
Come on and dance with me.

I see your friends are pointing my way
Come on over Hon and say
But come on babe
Come on and dance with me.

Instrumental, Verse One, Verse Two, Chorus, Outro

Come on and dance with me

Sound of the Speed of Loneliness(John Prine Cover)

It’s raining , oh it's raining
It's pouring down
All over me
I'm floating , just floating
All adrift
All at sea

Well I'm drowning in my floods of tears
I'm drowning in my doubts and fears

Drifting. well I'm just drifting
Beneath the leaden sky
That covers me
Praying, I'm just praying
Let these tears end soon
and set me free.

Chorus,Inst, verse 2,Chorus, Inst, verse 1, outro.

Still in the Shadow

It's Raining

LYRICS

There was daylight pushing night time from my head
There was coffee that she'd made so strong next to my bed
And I wanna know every thing about you
Yeah I wanna know everything

She was standing in the hallway looking at the rain
She smiled as she said shall we meet again
"cos I wanna know all about you
Yeah I wanna know everything

I really want to know are you serious
Is there something in the future
For the two of us

Instrumental

I said everything's fine but lets just take some time
Its gotta be right
It's looking good, I knew that it would
I'd like to see you tonight
'Cos I wanna know everything about you
Yeah I wanna know everything

Outro

I Want To Know (Everything)

Lyrics 

You look the same
Except the lines upon your face
And your hair is slightly lighter than then
The years have passed
In Lifes rich game
I wanna know, do you feel the same

You touch my hand
Oh what a thrill
When we were walking hand in hand
And that first kiss
Those tender lips
I wanna know, do you feel the same

We're still together
When others fell apart
We had each other when it rained
I feel the beating of the love
That's in your heart
I wanna know, do you feel the same

Repeat Verse One,  Outro

Do You Feel The Same

LYRICS
I can't believe that this thing is happening to me
I thought I was strong
And never give in
I was deceived

And I hung on there is nothing Left that I could do
We pass in the night
Like old lovers do

Well I clutched at straws in the hope that
You'd change your mind
But all hope was gone when
You shut that door behind you

Now I hung on there was nothing Left that I could do
Now we pass in the night
Like old lovers do

I put a smile on my face
There was never a trace
How much I missed you
I faced every day in a negative way
'Cos I still love you

Instrumental

And I hung on there was nothing Left that I could do
And now we pass in the night
Like old lovers do

I once told myself that this would never happen to me
I was stronger inside
And my  tears I would hide
But now they run free

And I hung on there was nothing Left that I could do
And now we pass in the night
Like old lovers do
And now we pass in the night
Like old lovers do
And now we pass in the night
Like old lovers do

Outro

Like Old Lovers Do

LYRICS
My loves an ocean you'd better cross it
Yeah I've been the distance and I need some rest
Yeah I had somebody and damned if I lost her
I've been running like a man possessed

I don't scare easy
Don't fall apart when I'm under the gun
You can break my heart and I ain't gonna run
I don't scare easy for no one

Yeah I'm a loser at the top of my game
I shoulda known better to keep an eye on you
I got a scar that ain't ever the same
Yeah I gotta dream that don't ever come true

I don't scare easy
Don't fall apart when I'm under the gun
You can break my heart and I ain't gonna run
I don't scare easy for no one

Instrumental

Sun going down on a canyon wall
I gotta soulthat ain't ever been blessed
Yeah I'm a shadow at the back of the hall
Yeah I've got a sin I ain’t never confessed

I don't scare easy
Don't fall apart when I'm under the gun
You can break my heart and I ain't gonna run
I don't scare easy for no one

I don't scare easy
Don't fall apart when I'm under the gun
You can break my heart and I ain't gonna run
I don't scare easy for no one

Outro

Scare Easy (Mudcrutch Cover)

I sail away for a year and a day
I spend my time just dreaming of you
And in the night when the stars are so bright
I dream that you and I say I do

But with the sun the dreams are all gone 
They've taken all my memories to
My bed is cold I've got no-one to hold
And I've only got a picture of you

It's faded now but still somehow
Your beauty still shines through
And though you're gone and so it seems 
I can still see you in my dreams

Instrumental

But with the sun the dreams are all gone 
They've taken all my memories to
My bed is cold I've got no-one to hold
And I've only got a picture of you

It's faded now but still somehow
Your beauty still shines through
And though you're gone or so it seems 
I can still see you in my dreams

And I can't wait for the Nightime again
When I slip into your waiting arms 
We slip away for that year and a day
And I hope the daytime never comes

One Faded Picture

LYRICS
I remember growing up and playing out in the yard
Skipping ropes and lollypops
Before our life became too hard
In our teens there were no toys
I went with girls and you went with boys
But then you moved away and we lost touch
And you enjoyed life far too much

And I can't help you now
You're too far gone
You took too much
You can't get back to where you were
And I can't help you now, I can't help you

I gotta letter in the mail
It said please help I'm in some jail
Got busted and there's no way out
But I will die if you don't help
I went to see what I could do
Paid your bail and got you out
Next I know you're turning tricks
To make some money for your next fix

And I can't help you now
You're too far gone
You took too much
You can't get back to where you were
And I can't help you now, I can't help you

Instrumental

And I can't help you now
You're too far gone
You took too much
Now the fun has gone
You can't get back to where you were
And I can't help you now, I can't help you

I gotta letter in the mail
It said please help me I'm in some jail
Got busted and there's no way out
But I will die if you don't help
I went to see what I could do
Paid your bail and got you free
Next I know you're turning tricks
To get some money for your next fix

And I can't help you now
You're too far gone
You took too much
You can't get back to where you were
And I can't help you now, I can't help you

Outro

I Can't Help You Now

Everyone was nice to me, you'll like it here
Just wait and see, the Doctor said
And I wondered to if he could hear the voices
That were just so clear, In my head

Just take one of these
And in a while, yes in a while
It's just something to relax you, you'll see
And the nurse just smiled

The walls were soft the bed was hard
The window looked out on the yard
Where people stood and stared
And the voices that still bothered me
Of people that I couldn't see
But no-one cared

Just take one of these and in a while
Yes in a while
It's just something to relax you, you'll see
And the nurse just smiled

Everything was taken that was bright or sharp
And I could hear the ticking of a broken heart
No-one came to see me, I wonder why
Nurse stood in the corner began to cry

Instrumental

Why am I here, I asked them why
Now don't you worry, as time goes by
You'll feel much better, it takes a while
Nurse in the corner began to smile

Just take one of these and in a while
Yes in a while
It's just something to relax you, you'll see
And the nurse just smiled


Outro

The Nurse Just Smiled

Slow Rivers (Instrumental)

LYRICS

I've told you once and I've told you twice
How much I've changed since you come into my life
And every day the sun seems to shine
Could it be since you became mine

And do you listen
To a word I say
Do you love me in the same way
You only smile and you say honest I do

You took my ring and you took my heart
I said I loved you right from the start
But you was cool when I was hot
And you took everything that I'd got

And do you listen
To a word I say
Do you love me in the same way
You only smile and you say honest I do

Instrumental

But do you listen
To a word that I say
Do you love me in the same way
You only smile and say honest I do

Guess I'm feeling so insecure
You break my heart and they'd be no cure
I know I'm lucky just having you
Even when you say Honest I do

And do you listen
To a word that that I say
Do you love me in the same way
You only smile and you say honest I do

Honest I do
Honest I do

Honest I Do - (Insecurity)?

LYRICS

Kept on walking straight ahead
There was no-one round they'd gone to bed
They were not sleeping
They worried 'bout the things
They could not change

The Governments just would not help
Just told us tighten up your belt
Another notch or two
But we know that we'll get through

ooooh la la la la
ooooh la la la la

My shoes were worn
And full of holes
I could touch the pavement through the soles
One good shirt and one good vest
Now no-one had a Sunday best

Churches empty no-one prayed
Everyone just seemed afraid
They'd meet God soon enough
They've got things oh so rough

Ooooh la la la la
Ooooh la la la la

Looted shops and broken glass
The lifestyle of the working class
But no-one worked there were no jobs
And factories had turned to rust
And rival gangs patrolled the streets
Would kill each other when they meet

Instrumental

Food was rationed just enough
And any dreams had turned to dust
But lords and ladies dined so well
They had no idea of this hell

I kept on walking straight ahead
There was no-one around they'd gone to bed
But they were not sleeping
They worried 'bout the things
They could not change

Ooooh la la la la
Ooooh la la la la


Outro

Things They Could Not Change Change

LYRICS

You tell more lies than a politician
But you  can't help it you were born that way
You stretch the truth by your own admission
There's a lie in every thing you say

Can't get the answer to anything you say
You say it's true then you walk away
You say you heard it on the television
You tell more lies than a politician

You say you love me and you really really want me
You say it'd break your heart
If I walked away
But I know that it really wouldn't matter
You'd have another by the end of the day

Can't get the answer to anything you say
You say it's true then you walk away
You say you heard it on the television
You tell more lies than a politician

Instrumental

Can't get the answer to anything you say
You say it's true then you walk away
You say you heard it on the television
But you tell lies like a politician

I know deep down that I really really want you
It ain't no secret that I'm stone in love with you
You say I'm kidding and I don't really need you
And I think that you're lying too

Can't get the answer to anything you say
You say it's true then you walk away
You say you heard it on the television
You tell more lies than a politician

Outro



More Lies

LYRICS
I was looking for answers to questions I'd heard
I was looking for reasons that were not so absurd
But no answers came although I shouted out loud
And they locked me away for standing out in the crowd

My friends came to visit and said I hope you are well
Now don't get excited 'cos it must be hell
So I just crossed my arms in a suit that they'd made
And I said nothing and just looked away

The times of day and night are gone
I'm feeling dark but I could be wrong

Instrumental

So i'll just sit and be a good boy again
And close my eyes and  dream of rain

Outro

Dreaming of Rain

LYRICS
I keep dreaming these sweet dreams
I make them last all night
This time it could be so special
I couldn't take my eyes off you
Keep dreaming these sweet dreams of you

And I know we've just met 
And I could be wrong
I can still taste your cinnamon lipstick
Never thought I'd fall in this quick
I keep dreaming those sweet dreams of you

Sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you

Instrumental

Keep dreaming these sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you

You stole my breath when I first saw you
Now all I want to do is hold you
I've never known a love like this
The magic of our first kiss
And I keep dreaming those sweet dreams of you

Sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you

Keep dreaming these sweet dreams
Make them last all night
This time it could be so special
I couldn't take my eyes off you
Keep dreaming these sweet dreams of you

Sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you
Sweet dreams of you

Outro

Sweet Dreams Of You
