Saturday Night (Evil Mind)

I've heard a thing or two about 
How you lost the plot and now you're black and blue
The knuckles white, like a crocodile
And now you're spitting bitter tears
I pull you back though you push me away
When I take flight, you will stay
To be back to front and inside out
Is that unusual for you to think about?
I've lived long enough
On the fringe of the conventional
Mentioned the unmentionable
Taken the trouble to burst your bubble

I've had my feet behind my head, it's crazy
But you can be even stranger than me
All the people reaching for the stars
Will you keep him tonight in the back of your mind
All the reasons seem rational and right
The sun won't set on a Sunshine

There is no better jibe
You could make where rocks don't fly
You are such a clever guy
But you don't show it to me tonight
We can both turn into stone
Be wilting roses in a world of our own
But is that the way you want it to go?
I've lived long enough
On the fringe of the conventional
And it's all unintentional
I'm casting the first stone for you

Aaaa, flailing your arms around
Aaaa, reigning over crazy towns
All the people reaching for the stars
Will you keep him tonight in the back of your mind
All the reasons seem rational and right
The sun won't set on a sunshine
The sun won't set on a ray of sunshine
The sun won't set on Ray Sunshine

Lucy Had a Good One

Maybe if I could tell you everything that I know
Maybe you would see me and would consider me for your role
When I break down I take the air and spray it with my mould 
Clean me neatly, heal me, free me from your hold

I do not disagree with the insights that you've gained into me
Tainted with words of strife and the state of disorder 
Now you can be so free while I'm a headcase carrying a warning sign
It's shining bright tonight, if you saw it, do not worry
'Cause the colours always change, nothing stays the same

There'll always be more than one road that you can take
And it's no use to think about the choices you didn't make
I'm sorry that I had to be the one to break this to you
You should try to sort it out, I hope you finally do

I do not disagree with the insights that you've gained into me
Tainted with words of strife and the state of disorder 
Now you can be so free while I'm a headcase carrying a warning sign
It's shining bright tonight, if you saw it, do not worry
'Cause the colours always change, nothing stays the same

Dim shapes, merely indistinct forms 
We are floating down the corridor
You have given me up to their force 
And I'm blending into the blur

A Change of Colour

I watch as he strolls down the streets of gold
And in his mind, it's all so clear in his mind
He picks up his guitar, casts a glance around the bar
He feels so smart, he knows his art
I see him as he comes radiating elegance
With his wit and charm, he enchants

But who could ever know how it feels to be safe in his embrace?
I don't know, no I don't
Who's the one he holds in his arms at night when stars begin to shine?
Who does he keep in his heart when he's far away from home?

He walks hand in hand with himself along the Strand
He's the architect of his own fortune
Waiting for the one who'll turn his world upside down
Who has the means to stay in his dreams
Who does he show his secret place 
The sanctum of his childhood games
Who has the spark to stop his vagrant thoughts

He Belongs to No One (demo)

What do we have if we don't have the minds, if we don't have the money
If we don't have the smiles to hide our thoughts when they are running
Welcome to my head where animals are shouting
It's a maddening affair when they're roaring and howling
We don't want to keep them in 
So we answer to the kiss of the streets

We are the dogs barking in the street
Brett and Justine ain't got nothing on you and me
Pavement is the only concrete thing you can take in sometimes
Let me smash my head so gently
Bend it into the correct shape
Mend it with a tender blow

What do we have? We have the time to fantasize
Dream up ideas that'll never make a dime
We are the enemies of maxims and efficiency
We've got all the time in the world
But is it a blessing or a curse?

We Are the Dogs

I digress when I'm dazed by your gaze
You're not impressed with what I ache for
Go on assess me without haste
With the time you waste you'll still light up my face

I'm not cynical but it's a sin to call
Call her his lover 'cause he don't love her no

Every time you were talking in your sleep
I just ignored every other word you said
But now when you’re walking in my dreams 
I can no longer pretend that I can't see or hear you
'Cause I wish that you could be more than a figure of speech
On my tongue, more than a thought I’m hung up on

The air escapes in uneasy sighs
To set the scene for your whisper and my smile
It's not a sight these days you often find
It's very different for unaccustomed eyes like mine

Let your mind wander at its own pace
That is the way to keep me engaged 

Every time you were talking in your sleep
I just ignored every other word you said
But now when you’re walking in my dreams 
I can no longer pretend that I can't see or hear you
'Cause I wish that you could be more than a figure of speech
On my tongue, more than a thought I’m hung up on
