Lyrics:

Gotta leave town and get away
These faces don't look the same
It's a risk I'm taking
But he who risks nothing has nothing

Gotta unfurl my sails and catch the wind
These voices don't sound the same
It's a risk I'm taking
But I can't live on bread alone

I don't want to waste my time
I don't want to let it pass
I don't want to miss this turn
That'll take me home

I've watched a hundred moons wax and wane
But attempts to connect have been in vain

Repeat Chorus

Old friends have fallen by the wayside 
And a faithful friend is hard to find
It's a risk I'm taking
But I can't live on bread alone

Repeat Chorus

Bread Alone

Lyrics

Be it day or be it night, always chipper, always bright
As you wait, you wait for a man to come
You show ‘em in, show ‘em out
Meet the kids then chuck him out
As you wait, you wait for the right man to come
I’m free for a date, oh free for a life
Come elevate all these matters of stress and strife
It’s in front of you nose but you just can’t see
When every road you’re travelling leads you right to me

I’m a bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man 
But I do the work like nobody else can
Bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man
Doing the work like nobody else can

Made mistakes, paid my dues
the kindest souls can get the blues come on, give this bloke a chance
Patient man, callous hands but a heart that understands
Come on, I won’t be playing you
I can hail at the moon, I can scream at the light
Even tough men want someone to hold at night
I’ve got so much to give and I’m good for my years
Ain’t it just about time that someone dried your tears

I’m a bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man 
But I do the work like nobody else can
Bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man
Doing the work like nobody else can

Only hope these words of mine are getting to you
Only hope these words of mine are getting through
We’ll be fine, we’ll be cool, we’ll be right, we’ll be true
Girl it’s time we got together now
Girl it’s time we got together now

I’m a bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man 
But I do the work like nobody else can
Bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man
Doing the work like nobody else can
Bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man
Doing the work like nobody else can
Bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man
Doing the work like nobody else can

Still A Great Night

Whilst busking on the street in San Francisco we met a random guy who called himself Captain Morgan. After claiming the spiced rum was named after him, he offered us our first ever gig in his friend's pub down the road. After playing the gig, we went back to our hostel and wrote this song.

Lyrics:

Royal entrance lined by the sea,
Clouds lie below me,
Winding roads higher than I can breathe,
Stars roll around me,

Life moves on, and life moves fast,
The lonely captain sails his mast,
But he works for the dollar,
And the dollar is pain,
Hoping the dream will make him feel again,

Draw, win or lose, we'll find,
Everybody on the same tram line,
Somebody on the corner looking for a dime,
He will find; Searching for the answer to his day,
People in the city going their way,
Leaves on the floor looking to change,
The trees remain the same,

People’s faces, places and travels,
The path that burns is stained by the shadows,
Milk has spilt guilt straight into gravel,
Take the last exit, it’s lit by the arrow.

Written by Ben Juckes & Sam Thornton
