There is no solace in my world
The days are vacant that I can recall
You're like an island I'm the setting sun
I don't have much to lean on

It's everything I wanted to be, it's everything I want
Now I'm burning up I'm consumed at night
Send a little something to me, just reflect some light
I won't take your extra time I just need a sign

I'm painting circles with my mind
I long for the fire in your eyes
Life is just time wasted when I'm not sensible
Without you life is nothing to me at all

I've been way down
I know you can save me
I know I'm halfway out
Know you you can save me

I know I'm halfway round
Know you can save me this time

It's better to know
Cos you've got me wired
I'm not too dumb to notice
Your mind is setting on my heart
Cos I'm away and I'm half awake
I'm half away and I'm half awake

I'm half away and I'm half awake
I'm half away without you

Better To Know

So come on, come on, it's taking me down. I need your grace
So far away, I lose myself and I need to replace all the life that I've found

And I have to hide away from you
All the shit that you drag me through makes me blind
My mind cannot avert the pain
Your pain

You see what you want, my love is dead and my heart is dry
The sound of your voice was hope, was faith
But all I'm left with is hate, regret and time

In the shadows I sit for a while
My eyes a blackened blue
Searching for release I hide away

So goodbye my love
Goodbye what will never be
Goodbye all my senseless thoughts
Goodbye to you from me
Because I'm alright, I'm just digging out another hole
I'm alright. I'm just digging out another hole
In time, we'll be alright

Blackened Blue

She's my home queen
As I turn, watch her leave
She's my own one
It pains me, to watch her leave

On another wave, on another wave
This time it doesn't feel right
On another wave, on another wave
All my sense is gone, all my senses pull me to the edge
Now I don't feel right
On another wave, on another wave

The day's done, now I'm out
There's no-one here to keep me sane
I'm left nothing at all, left nothing at all
I'm left nothing at all, left nothing at all

My daylight's gone
Death passes then I feel withdrawn
My concept's gone
I'm sitting on another one

On Another Wave

Cold Autumn day, passing time
I don't know what to say, I've got you on my mind
Things don't work for me, because nothing is right
And it's times like these, what's the point in my life?

I'm nothing to you
I'm a no-one to you
But if I'm nothing to you
Why do the things that you do?

Talking about you it brings me down
My life I can't rule
Still I'm crazy about you
Am I just a fool?

I'm nothing to you
I'm a no-one to you
But if I'm nothing to you
Why do the things that you do?
Because you're someone to me
You're something to me
But is it you that I see?
Or just how I want you to be?

If that's what you really want
I guess I'm fine with that
If that's what you really want
I guess that's just how, it was meant to be

Cold Autumn Day

Sitting on the edge to get away
I’m not going anywhere, won’t you start me out
These days all seem the same
In my hazy shade I write, won’t you start me out tonight

Satellite, you’re on my mind
I’m down, I’m out, I’ll see you on the other side

A day is all I need to get away
When the years don’t change a thing, you’re my number one
And life’s getting heavy I’m alone
Won’t you start me out, won’t you start me, out tonight

Satellite, you’re on my mind
I’m down, I’m out, I’ll see you on the other side
Satellite, just take my life and spin it around
I’ll see you on the other side

Sitting on the edge to get away
I’m not going anywhere, won’t you start me out tonight

Satellite

There’s no easy way, there’s no easy way out
I find, I’m myself again
Standing in the rain
When I meet you, outside, and we start again
Start another life
It feels good to, be here, with you

It’s good to talk again
Although we don’t talk about that much
It takes my mind away, from all that brings me down
Now my head feels, so clear

You’re another one, you’re another one
You’re another one
When I meet you, outside, and we start again

I can’t turn away
Although I know I’ll never be content
Unless we’re more than friends
Because you make me high
It’s so cold here, but I feel so alive

We Start Again

So pick up your things and tell me when
Because it’s not healthy
You’re tired of you’re life, you’re done with your friends
You’re half way out now

It’s all that I think about now
It’s pushing me further down
Get back on your feet again in life

Lie to your friends and break all trust
Now they hate you?
Harmony was never enough
We’re so consumed now

It’s all that we think about now
It’s pushing me further down
Get back on your feet again

I’m having visions, I’m out of my head again
Now I’m concerned and I’m running from my life
I don’t need people holding my hand again
I need a break from all the troubles in my life

I’m on the run tonight

P.S. On The Run Tonight

Apples aside, I see you every day of my life
I see you walking I pull aside
We go wandering, dusk turns to night
You’ve got that pull on me

Sundials aside, I could sit here all day and all night
On my bench I could never feel sad
Sat up here I’m on top of the world
You’ve got that pull on me, you’ve got that pull

Fylde coast, you still haunt me

Islands aside, from my bench I look back at my life
You’re the girl who taught to be sad
To forget you I’d give all that I have
You’ve got that pull on me, you’ve got that pull

Fylde coast, you still haunt me

I don’t mind putting islands and apples aside
And the girl who taught me to be sad
You’ve got that pull on me…

Apples Aside

I first heard this song at the Captains Bar in Edinburgh on 26th May 2013, I never got around to learning it until today, and it's not quite the same without the strings, but I hope I've done it justice.

Another Man's Cause (Levellers Cover)

Love She Spins Me Around

27, I'm not there, I'm falling to pretence
Affliction rife these days, I try, but only you can change your mind

Fall in, in out, my friend
Resonate the time you spend

27 years entwined, self destruction romanticised
A consequence or maybe destiny, a premature exit from life

Fall in, in out, my friend
Resonate the time you spend

These fleeting moments leave me dry
A vague depression of a passing life
Saturn returns, now I'm revived
I don't know what will prevail in time
But I know you changed my life

Fall in, in out, my friend
Resonate the time you spend

Saturn Returns

You're my Klaxon
When I hear you I run and hide
My head is down and the lights are out
You catch me cold in the middle of the night

I'm home again
Coming up I don't know when
Coming home again
Coming up I don't know when

We're in over our heads
We can't pick ourselves up again

You're my Klaxon
You alert me in the night
You make your problems my concern
Now I'm running for my life

I'm home again
Coming up I don't know when
Coming home again
Coming up I don't know when

We're in over our heads
We can't pick ourselves up again

Klaxon

She is not from around here
She doesn't want to be here
She's down eternally here
She's talking to herself
She's always loathed herself
So angry with herself
So torn about herself
She wants to lose control

In to the night she wanders
She's through with herself
Her world crashes down around her
Her moonlit tears start to fall
She wants to lose control

She doesn't let anyone close
Thinks no one will notice when she goes
She's questioning herself
She's frustrated with herself
Isolated from herself
She wants to lose control

In to the night she wanders
She's through with herself
Her world crashes down around her
Her moonlit tears start to fall
She wants to lose control…

She wants to lose control

On alcohol, I'm inebriated, my vision's blurred, I declare
My love for you, But it's not like before it's not like years ago
It's not my style to avoid your questions but I'm far too tired to care
I avoid the light, now my head is in a daze and I'm running away from you

I love you, you're so insatiable

So take me out, tell me all you know tell me what you want from me
I'm so confused, you're the underground you're the wall in front of me
So pick me up then slam me down dig the knife into my back
I know your game, feel like such a fool and I'm never looking back

I love you, you're so insatiable
