A short folky song about life continuing on after a loss

Lie Goes On

Life Goes On

Don't want to waste my time
Don't want to be with no one else
I'll see you down the line
Then you can take me off the shelf

Who are you that's calling me from afar?
Although I'd never seen your face
I thought I'd seen your face before
But...

Don't want to waste my time
Don't want to be with no one else
I'm the not the next in line
But I don't need nobody's help.

There's no way I'm driving to you so far.
How my heart aches for you
Though I don't know just who you are.

Don't want to waste my time.

A Face I'd Seen Before

So Cool

Downs Hill

A track about being bored out of your mind, and disenchanted with the everyday

More Of The Same - Nylophone

Two Bed Semi

Would you find it awful cruel ?
Would you think I was a fool?
If I told you that I don't respect the rules.
When right is wrong,
Not right on or cool,
And what's left you learn in school.

So save your breath and save your time
I suffer from a poison mind
I cant help it. I'm just so inclined
 
My enemies wait at the gates,
Hoping that they'll get a crack in time,
Cause they know I'm bound to love. Love hate. Love hate crimes.


Oh no, oh no. Flick it back another episode
In your own TV show.
In your own show,
Take down another homophobe.
Then turn around and go


So watch your mouth and watch your back
Get ready for the main attack
I can't help it. I just can't hold back.
When I let go, someone's always picking up the slack.
Oh. Let's fade. Fade. Fade to black.


Oh no, oh no. Flick it back another episode.
Cause I'm ready to explode.
Stand up. Reload.
Take down another Romeo.
Turn Princess into toad.

Don't act like you don't know key prototype

Ducking and diving



Living in hiding



Lets go driving



Somewhere far away



I think we made a mess here



So put it into 5th gear



Keep moving till we're in the clear



And very far away



From this tiny little hurricane



That came knocking at our window pane



I think I know a place where...



We can be alone there



Cause no one ever goes there



Except me.



And I hope you have a good laugh



Why don't you take a photograph?



Cause they're the only smiles that ever seem to last



But if you think that I won't miss you



Then come back and let me hold and kiss you.



Take the road ahead

I won't stop until I'm dead

And if the traffic lights are red

Then break them.



Ducking and diving



Living in hiding



Lets go driving



Somewhere far away



I think we made a mess here



So put it into 5th gear



Keep moving till we're in the clear



And very far away



Lets go driving. Lets go driving.



Let's Go Driving

A laid back acoustic soft rock tune I suppose

You can touch me if you want to

Lyrics adapted from this poem:

Shy one, shy one,
Shy one of my heart,
She moves in the firelight
Pensively apart.
 
She carries in the dishes,
And lays them in a row.
To an isle in the water
With her would I go.
 
She carries in the candles,
And lights the curtained room,
Shy in the doorway
And shy in the gloom;
 
And shy as a rabbit,
Helpful and shy.
To an isle in the water
With her would I fly.


- W.B. Yeats

Shy One

I put the meat on the shelf like a f***ing elf.
And now some f***ing b***h is asking for my f***ing help. 
And life's a b***h when you have to work for someone else. 
But there's just one thing that I can't forget. 

Stack the meat. The meat . The meat. The f***ing meat.

Little town on the rocks by the sea
Moving so slowly
I'm watching you from my window

Little boat on the sea sailing by
Moving so gently
I wanna know where you're going

I watch the Kish at night
Shining till the daylight

Little boat on the sea
Sailing so far from me
Take me away

The Last Stop

Piano Rag

Long night. Whole house asleep.
You creep down the stairs and make your way out to the street.
Down to the first morning train
And you'll never be back here again
Nobody knows what to do
And it feels like we'll never get through

But we're wrong
Life goes on
Life goes on


So long some mother's son
You're packing it up when I thought you'd just begun

Creeping away in the night
Leaving without a goodbye
Nobody will understand
How to move on and they'll think they can't

But they're wrong
Life goes on
Life goes on


I tell myself 3 times a day
That I could have convinced you to stay
You were gone in the blink of an eye
And you left us here wondering why


Is it wrong
Life goes on
Life goes on

Life Goes On Original

Hot Potato

Sweet summer feeling
Soft honeydew
Falling in love again
Like I always seem to do

I'll sit and wonder
I'll fantasise
Clouds floating high above
And reflecting in your eyes

Oh stick your head out the door
Take a breath of fresh air
Laugh in the sun
Oh it's a beautiful day
Summertime is so much fun

Summer Feeling

Flame

Well I sleep
Through the night
And I sleep
Through the day time
When I come around
That's when I'm feeling

I just sleep
All the time
I can’t hear when you’re talking
Even if you scream
I’ll stay asleep and dream

All through the night
All through the day
I shut my  eyes
Drift away

I just sleep
Through it all
I can’t hear what you’re saying
Even if you scream
I’ll stay asleep and dream
