Original song 'Who Am I?' by The Lennon Tree

Who Am I?

Original song Queen by The Lennon Tree

Lyrics:
Times like this I don’t know what to say
The flowers I bought you have withered away
I always thought I was able
Maybe all along I’m Cain

She said I treat you like a Queen
She said I treated her so mean
But she was the outside of my circle
You were the everything to me

But it’s alright
It’s OK
I will hold your hand again some day
My my, hey hey
Out of sight
Not out of mind
You’re the Queen of hearts and you held mine
Hey hey, my my

Life gives you just enough rope
You gave me just enough hope
When I’m Jekyll they all Hyde
Before they see my other side

I don’t believe in all that science
Mathematicians failed me too
They say dreams are built-up sadness
You and I both know the truth

But it’s alright
It’s OK
I will hold your hand again some day
My my, hey hey
Out of sight
Not out of mind
You’re the Queen of hearts and you held mine
Hey hey, my my

And I tried to sing a song to show I miss you
And I tried to write a song to show I care
I just tried to sing a song to show I miss you
I just tried to write a song to show I care.

(Ritchie)

Queen

Original song 'How Can The World Stand Still?' by The Lennon Tree.

Lyrics:
Tell me if the lights are too blinding for you
Tell me if the stars move on
Even if the moon isn’t shining for you
Tell me and I’ll shoot it down

Tell me if the people are talking too loud
Tell me if they look at you
We can hide forever until they have all gone
Or tell me and I’ll shoot them all
Tell me and I’ll shoot each one

I can hear voices but see no faces
Just eyes behind blue skies
The handle is cold it’s nearly over
How can four bullets fall ill?
How can the world stand still?

(Ritchie)

How Can The World Stand Still?

Original song 'Wolves' by The Lennon Tree

Wolves

Original song 'Parallel Lines' by The Lennon Tree.

Lyrics:

I've got voices in my head
Why won't they sing me to sleep
They talk to me instead
And say all the things that I keep
From you, believe me 
I wish that I could stop
The way I'm feeling
But it just won't switch off

Lift my feet up off the ground
Tie me up by a rope
I'm happy to hang around
Until you are ready for more
Will you, believe me 
I wish that I could stop
The way I'm feeling
But it just won't switch off

And we're both parallel lines
Taking separate routes through time
You're too good for me
Good things don't come naturally

I'll try anything twice
A second is all it takes
It's a wonderful life
When I think about the days
but words just fail me
I know that you could stop
The way I'm feeling
But you just won't give up

And we're both parallel lines
Taking separate routes through time
You're too good for me
Good things don't come naturally

And I broke your heart
I hope you know I didn't mean to
And you shed one tear
It's one more than I wanted you to
*repeat to fade*

Parallel Lines

Original song 'Karma Tides' by The Lennon Tree

Lyrics - 

Is this what you wanted babe?
To be sang about in songs for the rest of your days
I thought you'd be good for me
But that illusion faded far too easily
It's not how it used to be
I don't think about it I just sit quietly

And I just close my eyes and wish for karma tides 
There's not a cloud in site it's clear within my mind
And I just slip - away

I didn't mean to let the devil in
He didn't have to knock the door was open
He said "where do I begin?"
He laughed his way through mistakes I'd never told him
But what amused him most
Was how easily the human heart gets broken

And I just close my eyes and wish for karma tides 
There's not a cloud in site it's clear within my mind
It's not a crime for me to dream a different dream
There's always room for two - sail away with me
And I just slip - away.

Karma Tides

Original song '(Get Me Down From) The Clouds' by The Lennon Tree

Lyrics - 

We'll write this off
As one big joke
I'll drink my whiskey
And I'll mix it with coke
Let got off my hand
Cos I've spent too much time
In the clouds

You're insecure 
Well so am I
Take one more picture
And then get one more like
If I roll the dice I lose
But who says I want you?

Although my eyes can see
I still walk with hands in front of me
Cos I've been blind before
And I won't fall down anymore

You hide it well
But I heard the news
Your crown slipped down
And you took me down too
Let go of my hand
Cos I've spent too much time in the clouds

Although my eyes can see
I still walk with hands in front of me
Cos I've been blind before
And I won't fall down anymore

But you
You fall asleep
The water's cold
The water's deep
And my chest is pounding
Beat by beat
Yeah yeah yeah
That's all I need to say
And there's panic on the streets
I don't care it's under me
So get me down from the clouds
Get me down from the clouds
Get me down from the clouds
Get me down from the clouds
...

(Get Me Down From) The Clouds

Original song 'I Swim Like A Stone' by The Lennon Tree

Lyrics - 

It took you a long time to realise 
That you were on the wrong side
You put yourself there 
With a tangled web of lies
That I cut through with my knife

Well they say every cloud
Is silver inside
Well I've looked in mine 
And I've got nothing at all
God only knows
Where I should go
You float like a feather
I swim like a stone
I swim like a stone
I swim like a stone

If you stop the clocks 
It doesn't mean you stop the time
Wrong and wrong won't make it right
You might forget your words
I won't forget mine
In fact they're written on my heart

Well they say every cloud
Is silver inside
Well I've looked in mine 
And I've got nothing at all
God only knows
Where I should go
You float like a feather
I swim like a stone
I swim like a stone
I swim like a stone

Pick me from the floor 
Cos I don't want to be there no more
Pick me from the floor
Cos I don't want to be there no more…

I Swim Like A Stone

Original song 'Spark' by The Lennon Tree.

Lyrics - 

Here we go again 
But this don't feel the same
I take it all back but
Put it back in again
I don't know how I know but it is
I know it is, it's you
People stop and stare
And they cause a fuss
But I want this more 
And more than that I want us
Say the word, or three

Well there's volcanos erupting
Earthquakes rumbling
Hurricanes break down my walls
And if this ain't something
Tell me now
I'll rebuild them all
You're too good for me but
Hey a man can dream
I've been dreaming all my life 
For something real to me
And it's you

You know I think I saw a spark
It'll burn this whole place down
Just for a second I got lost
A few more seconds I'd be gone

I'm in a crowded room but
All I see is you
I tell white lies
But just to cover up the truth
I know that you know
No point denying it
I just want one kiss
I've fallen in and 
There's no climbing out of it
I'm doomed

You know I think I saw a spark
It'll burn this whole place down
Just for a second I got lost
A few more seconds I'd be gone
 
I know you like the stars I'd make them yours
Every twelfth night I'd pick them all
A wreath you gave to me picked off an olive tree
Is proof to me the World still turns

You know I think I saw a spark
It'll burn this whole place down
Just for a second I got lost
A few more seconds I'd be gone

Spark

Original song 'I Know She Knows' by The Lennon Tree

Lyrics
She says I've got demanding eyes but I've never asked a thing from her
She says I'm guna break her heart but I've never done a thing to her
She says she wants to see my soul but I'll never ever sing for her
I know she knows
Now there's a thousand people who take the time
To read between the words on almost every line
If she ends up like the rest it's not her fault but mine
I know she knows

Well if I load my gun
And put it on the table
It kills no one
If a sing a song
Write words like I'm able
Well it hurts know one

Grandmother Mary times were tough
Don't let them use that jealous touch
If only you could turn it off
You'll spoil it for yourself

She took a broken heart and mended it with glue
She took a pen and wrote down all the things she wouldn't do
On a blank page you can read the truth
I know she knows
I'm not the only one who saw her on the roof
I should only be afraid of those who take a second look
I can only blame myself if I f**k it up
I know she knows

Well if I load my gun
And put it on the table
It kills no one
If a sing a song
Write words like I'm able
Well it hurts know one

Grandmother Mary times were tough
Don't let them use that jealous touch
If only you could turn it off
You'll spoil it for yourself
Little lady piece of gold
I promise to keep tight ahold
Only fools know it all
We'll both figure it out

I know she knows
I know she knows
I know she knows
I know she knows
I know she knows
I know she knows
I know she knows
I know she knows

I Know She Knows

The Lennon Tree - Be Kind Rewind

I wonder why it’s not easier
To build it up than smash it all down
One light looks so beautiful
But a hundred thousand flames could burn it all

There’s only 21 grams
That keeps me anchored to the ground
If there’s one thing that I’ve learned
It’s only ever take your own advice

But I’ll just grit my teeth
These minutes don’t repeat
These clocks won’t stop for you or anyone
So be kind and rewind it all
To go back in time is all I’m asking for
The light looks so beautiful
Someone stop the clocks for me

There it goes, I’ve missed the boat again
Cutting  through the waves across the tides
I’m stuck back on the shore again
Reminiscing on the best days of my life

But I’ll just grit my teeth
These minutes don’t repeat
These clocks won’t stop for you or anyone
So be kind and rewind it all
To go back in time is all I’m asking for
The light looks so beautiful
Someone stop the clocks for me

(Ritchie)
