I left you
7 days before you left me too
we agreed to meet again some sunny day in Northern Spain
You begged me 
to make some space for the christmas tree
I told you it was not a priority
So long my friends
that blonde haired boy waved until I reached the end
I turned to wave, the car it swung and swayed
I couldn’t see above boxes anyway

Goodbye 
but not forever no it’s not forever
how can it be so hard to leave
could it be you’re all that I need

  there was golden sand
there was everything that I had planned
we even had our very own lemon tree
for a month wed stay 
satisfied with the come what mays
then we realised it was neither the time nor place
priorities are continuously changed

I met you
at the same hotel, in the same backroom
it was Gothenburg where I found what I was look for
You met me, in a cafe  next to a busy street
You know I’d never tasted anything that sweet
Baby you are all that I need.

All I Need

GTTN (acoustic)

Out here in the dark, wondering where the hell I’ve been
drown in self pity or take it on the chin
somebody turn off the lights, so I can see what’s happening
I thought that I was flying, I'm down on my face again

I've been trying to find my way back home
but it’s harder than i’ve known

  I’m ok 
 in my old age
I forget you sometimes
but i’ll love whoever you are

but honestly, who are you
at my bed side
 telling me white lies
for the 3rd time today 
who am I

Running for my life, I can’t run to save my life
wiser than an owl, sharper than a butter knife
somebody turn off the lights so I can go to sleep again
if I wake up before i’m dead, well that would be a crying shame

I’ve been trying to find my way back home
but it’s harder than i’ve known

  I’m ok 
in my old age
I forget you sometimes
but i’ll love whoever you are

but honestly, who are you
at my bed side
 telling me white lies
for the 3rd time today 
who am I

who are you
why won’t you say 
the only truth
in the only place
we are not graced
with endless love
but the love we make 
I could call it God

Who Are You

Dreams (acoustic) - Fleetwood Mac cover

That's not nice
All those nights you spend alone
Out of touch and on your own
No that's not right

Half a voice
When all the webs you wove are broken
Every thought you had, you spoke them
With a sense so cold

Conviction
You're guilty as charged
A breaker with a gun that's going off
I'm on the run

That's your vice
Spend your money on desire
As the bridges all catch fire
You walk across
Fearless of the fall
Intent on taking all of us down 

That's your conviction 
I'm guilty as charged
A breaker with a gun that's going off

I'm on the run
I'm on the run
I can't escape from the things that I've done 
I'm on the run 
I'm on the run
Every time that I see the setting sun
I'm on the run
I'm on the run

Chorus

On The Run

Trouble

Would you build me a bunker at the bottom of the garden 
use the bracken and the branches, save some scraps for when we’re starving
I don’t mean to pessimize but at the end of the day 
it’s just the end of the world, and there’s nothing more to say about it

Follow me regardless, bring the breadcrumbs and your hat 
We could weave between the tallest trees you argue tit for tat with me
about everything and nothing all at once, I saw you twice
looking three times in the mirror asking for some good advice

and we’re nearly there 
but we’re lost at the edge of the forest dear 
and I’m afraid there’s no way out

The path that we have trodden over weathered rocks and streams
these rubber boots are useless, sodden socks and achy feet 
I’m a wanderer, a passer by, I wish that you could see 
this is where I plan to live, it’s a place for you and me to be

someone we’ve not met yet I’m told you sometimes feel 
like a lone wolf in the woods, hunting questions and a meaning 
when you lie down on the leaves and stare directly at the sun the world becomes a race you choose to walk instead of run

and we’re nearly there 
but we’re lost at the edge of the forest dear 
and I’m afraid it’s getting complicated 
we’re nearly there 
but we’re lost at the edge of the forest dear 
and I’m afraid there’s no way out

The Bunker

Spilt Milk Eyes

You should leave, Eve

Of course I love your company
but you should know the suitable time to leave, you should know
oh I love it when you come around
I make coffee and we talk about
everything (that’s the problem)
can’t you see I’m agitated
now’s your chance so go on, take it
you should leave

(Chorus)
I’ve left you alone in the living room
Been clearing the plates and cups and the knives and the forks and the spoons
trying to speak but we’re out of tune
now i don’t mean to be rude but
you should leave, Eve

Of course I love your company
but you should know the suitable time to leave, you’ve been in so long
put your self into my shoes 
i’ve got kids and so much stuff to do, you should leave
can’t you see you’re complicating it
this was fun and now I hate it
you should leave

Oh I love it when you come around
I make coffee and we talk about
everything (that’s the problem)
can’t you see I’m agitated
now’s your chance so go on, take it
you should leave

(Repeat Chorus)

You Should Leave, Eve

True Conformist

walk this path and learn you lines
that is wrong and this is right
listen up, don’t fall behind
but we don’t need a mastermind!

we’ll lock you up and shush your mouth
the kind that we can do with out
disrupting the disruption that 
we’ve built to race the city rat

they multiply like seed dispersal
university rehearsal
marching to the office blocks 
parents pride and knitted socks

i just cant be a part of it
true conformist made me sick
prescribed a pill to hide the pain
but you knew  i’d get sick again

to All of you creative minds
your freedom thoughts and  your wasted rhymes
just stop for a second  use your brain
does it all come clear that we’re all the same
 now it all makes sense that it’s all been staged
No This is not the golden age

walk this path and learn your lines
fuck that off and we’re doing fine
remove the wool and let it shine
I’m 32 and I’m going blind

the world is like a ripe banana
peel it back to see what’s under
isweeter than the hardened skin
the bubble that you’re trapped within

education for the nation
numbing all of your sensations
who are you despite it all
the highest score and still not sure

black and white is not a choice
the many shades of inner voice
deeper thought complexities
that’s why a bear can rest at ease

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life

to All of you creative minds
your freedom thoughts and  your wasted rhymes
just stop for a second  use your brain
did it all come clear that we’re all the same
now it all makes sense and it’s all been staged
No This is not the golden age

True Conformist (acoustic)

I build up the courage
to tell you I’m  sorry
lower my defences
can I assume you’ll  accept it

it’s no small thing   in my book
it was actually one of the bigger steps I took

you’re angry, frustrated
was it a stressful ( high) day or did I create it

when I say sorry, you say ok
sometimes things just happen, that way
(there’s nothing we can do)
when you say sorry, I’ll say ok
the rules apply to both sides


Your reaction got me thinking
 I regret the empathy
your inner army coup
taught me so much about you

I thought you were cool but
you’ve shown your true discolour
I was once the bad guy, 
but it has changed and now we are estranged

when I say sorry, you say ok
things just happen, sometimes
when you say sorry, I’ll say ok
the rules apply to both sides

Both Sides (draft)

Mocking Birds

Sometimes the river calls my name
I get excited by the summer sun
Slip on a rock and bruise my elbow
I've gotta learn how to handle these emotions
Cos one of these days
Imma fall right in
Yeah one of the days 
I'll be swimming up stream to you

I dont do fishing it's not my game
But if I did I'd catch a rainbow trout
And ask her if she's grey when the suns goes out
I've gotta learn how to treat you like a lady
Cos one of these days
Imma fall right in
Yeah one of these days
I'll be swimming upstream to you

Down at the Badgers Holt
Where we would lay naked it was all your fault
Cos you, always had some lovers curse
I would fight it for a while but it just make things worse yeah

Down by the riverside
At the waters edge we would laugh and cry
If I could I would rewind the time
But I'm drowning underneath your eyes

I guess it's one of those days
Cos I fell right in
It must be one of those days
cos I’m swimming upstream 
It must be one of those days
Cos I’m sinking in
It must be one of those days
cos I’m swimming up stream to you

One Of Those Days
