Of all the promises, I ever tried to keep 
Yours was the one, that mattered most to me 
And those that we held dear, were sold along the way 
And all I leave to you, the debts I failed to pay 

Once led to believe, we were favoured by the gods 
Our reputations now, well and truly lost 
Replaced by secrecy and codes by which we’re bound 
The legacy we built, is buried underground 

Promise me my son, that you will wrong no-one 
Regret to be informed, those plans have come undone 

Divided all the spoils, that were never ours to gain 
As different as we are, our fate will be the same 

Promise me my son, that you will wrong no-one 
Regret to be informed, those plans have come undone

Wrong

Hear the cries of Evening Post 
As Market Square prepares itself 
For another night of drunken traffic 

The Trip, the Bell, the Salutation 
Late night Sapna’s on occasion 
Selectadisc has gone, the city lumbers on 

It’s been so good to see you 
You haven’t changed and you haven’t stayed the same 
They’ve dressed you up so neatly	
I only recognised you from your face 

Past the Trent Bridge Cricket Ground 
The river makes its way around 
Between opposing rivals 

There was a time when I belonged here 
The friendly face suggests I’m welcome back 
Renovated change, in my mind old haunts remain 

And it’s been so good to see you 
You haven’t changed and you haven’t stayed the same 
They’ve dressed you up so neatly	
I only recognised you from your face

The Trip, The Bell & The Salutation

Roll into the sun
Chase the golden wind
Summer smiles at the corner
Of every nameless street
Silhouettes fading slowly into
The shining light
A cloud of unsolved secrets
Linger in the sky

I wish I could go again
Where all the places feel like home
Though I don't remember well
All the places feel like home

Endless time, there's no one
Waiting for you now
Dream the world, a word would
Break the spell somehow
The shadows paint the shapes
Of yesterday
Reflections of a face
Turning away

I wish I could go again
Where all the places feel like home
Though I don't remember well
All the places feel like home

If only I could take you where
All the places feel like home
And I know we would find it there
Where all the places feel like home

Feel Like Home (demo)

Oh, you’re making me dizzy
Oh, your sherbet so fizzy

You make my mind shut down (on the left side)

Oh, you’re holding up traffic
Oh, your details so graphic

You make my mind shut down (on the left side)
You make my mind shut down (on the left side)

Oh, your face is perfection
Oh, sonic protection

You make my mind shut down (on the left side)
You make my mind shut down (on the left side)
You make my mind shut down (on the left side)

Li Di Di Di

Evacuate your city of hope
Too little too late, everything must go
And it’s taken me all this time

Silly thing, what do you take me for?
Take the things you won’t be needing any more
And it’s taken me all this time
To see what was never mine

You hug people in the street
You go by without conceit
I am looking at something
So pure

What to do? You cannot even lie
Your honesty remains with you until you die
And after these highs and lows
I’m afraid that’s the way it goes

You hug people in the street
You go by without conceit
I am looking at something
So pure

If you believe that life is good, it probably is

Pure (Choc Norris version)

Aggro Count (Choc Norris Version)

Charlotte cuts her hair
And all the boys despair
And the fires in their hearts all go out

Charlotte shaves her head
And puts herself to bed
While the boys throw themselves from the trees

Nobody looks behind her eyes
Nobody stops to look inside

Charlotte sheds her locks
The boys arrive in flocks
To plead that she change her mind
Her mother breaks down and cries
When she sees what has transpired
But Charlotte can afford herself a smile

Nobody looks behind her eyes
Nobody stops to look inside

The Random Chocolates brought a unique sense of fun, occasion and style of music that was missing from a lot of modern performances. There was an intimacy that the audience was able to see and take part in.
