Everything You've Always Been (the Lyrics)

Here are the years you could lean on
The ones where you smiled everyday
That found us when we were missing
And got there when we were halfway

I know that it’s you I could turn to
When bad emptiness showed its face
You eased me through with good reason
And put my dreams back in place

And when I wasn’t looking
I know you would see
And if I wasn’t thinking
Then you would be me
And help me be the someone
That’s everything you’ve always been

There are the words we should savour
The ones that we didn’t always say
That sat there shy on the surface
But deep down we felt anyway

And when I wasn’t looking
I know you would see
And if I wasn’t thinking
Then you would be me

And help me be the someone
That’s everything you’ve always been
And when I wasn’t looking
I know you would see
And if I wasn’t thinking
Then you would be me
And help me be the someone – and help me be the someone
And help me be the someone - that’s everything you’ve always been

Everything You've Always Been

Missing Star (the words)

Somewhere there’s a shooting star
Wondering where, wondering where you are
Somewhere there’s a satellite
Drifting out, drifting out of sight

Somewhere there’s a missing star
Searching wide, searching wide and far
Somewhere too a comet flies
Round the world, soaring through the skies

And something tells me the moon is gonna lie
And the sun is in collaboration ready with its alibi

All constellations accounted for
All planets gathered round
For stopping the world from falling from grace
And gravity hitting the ground
Hitting the ground
Hitting the ground
Hitting the ground

Somewhere there’s an asteroid
On its way, that you can’t avoid
Somewhere there in outer space
Inner thoughts, floating out of place

Missing Star

Belief (the words)

Jump across the rooftops
With a fully fledged belief in
That your honour is in tact
And not unbroken

Walking on the thin ice
It’s not the cold upon your feet
It’s all the warmth you feel inside
That keeps you going

Why do I rely on empty hearts that hold no ground
Why do I revolve around a world that drags me down
Lucky there is you with all the love that you have shown
I believe in you that’s what I’ve found

Fell into an ocean
That was so deep blue and innocence
That my love capsized itself
In us forever

Wishing in a whirlwind
That could blow away our sins and
Then replenish us with dreams
We’d never thought of

Why do I rely on empty hearts that hold no ground
Why do I revolve around a world that drags me down
Lucky there is you with all the love that you have shown
I believe in you that’s what I’ve found

Jump across the rooftops
With a fully fledged belief in
That your honour is in tact
And not unbroken

Fell into an ocean
That was so deep blue and innocence
That my love capsized itself
In us forever

Why do I rely on empty hearts that hold no ground
Why do I revolve around a world that drags me down
Lucky there is you with all the love that you have shown
I believe in you that’s what I’ve found
I believe in you that's what I've found
I believe in you that's what I've found
I believe in you that's what I've found

The World Inside Of Us (The Lyrics)

Did we lose ourselves together in a moment made for two
When time stood still we took our chance and reached for something new
Did we make believe the heaven in the haze of never land
But we made the stars shine bright as only we will understand

And for me I had my hands untied
You made me see a wealth of pride
And in the torrent of the rising tide
I saw the world the world inside of us

And if some days felt like hurricanes we rode the storm together
When wings are clipped beneath dark clouds we still found sunny weather
Did we reach a place a plateau that we’ll always find again
And the song we sing as one is now the song that just refrains

And for you the search both far and wide
You found a love to never hide
And in the torrent of the rising tide
You saw the world the world inside of us

Will the love remain within us and our hearts stay inter-twined
Are the words we whisper written in the diary of our minds
Will the smiles and laughter keep us on the roads to feeling free
And never lose the ripeness in the caves of reverie

And for us we reached a place inside
Now on our hearts we love to glide
And in the torrent of the rising tide
We saw the world the world inside of us
The world inside of us

The World Inside Of Us

The Words (Jazz It Up)
I’m lost today
Things are going wrong
I’ve lost my way
Why is it going wrong

I feel my senses pushing me around
Pushing me in motions of leaps and bounds

Jazz it up jazz it up
Jazz it up jazz it up
Give it a chord give it a bass
Give it a beat that we can taste
But jazz it up jazz it up
Jazz it up jazz it up

I ran tonight
Through an empty street
I ran all night
It was a dead-end street

I feel my senses pushing me around
Pushing me in motions of leaps and bounds

Jazz it up jazz it up
Jazz it up jazz it up
Give it a chord give it a bass
Give it a beat that you can taste
But jazz it up jazz it up
Jazz it up jazz it up

Jazz It Up

Time And Tide  (The Words)

In the cradle of our lives
Til magenta moons arrive
We can’t stop the clocks from ticking
From the carelessness of youth
When our fragile minds run loose
We can’t make the days go backwards

Time and tide wait for no man
Where time rings the bell
And the tide rises high
Time and tide wait for no man
Where time tolls the bell
As the tide waves goodbye

Out of wistful thoughts we make
There’s an emptiness we take
Then tell ourselves that we’re contented
And this road we walk along
Where we often get things wrong
By the time we learn what’s right it’s too late

Chorus

Stop the world
And let us start again
Stop the world
We need a second chance
But this time know our minds
And this time recognize
Our hearts to understand
With knowledge to be wise

Chorus

Time And Tide

Footnote (the words)

So sad just so sad isn’t it
So bad not so bad wasn’t it

Why all this disdain
Why not just explain
The reason for the goodbye that you’re sending

Too far gone too far hasn’t it
You are what you are think of it

That’s why these remarks
That’s why flying sparks
Creating all this torment you’re defending

Chorus
Didn’t want to be the footnote of your life
Once the headline of your day
Now the bottom of the page
Didn’t want to be the footnote of your life
Once the signpost you looked for
Now a reference point no more
Didn’t want to be the footnote of your life

OK not OK stop it now
This way why this way why and how

Fake became pretend
Love collides the end
The reason for the goodbye that you’re sending

Chorus

It is what it is where’s the blame
Last kiss the last kiss such a shame

Heaven can’t avenge
Hell will take revenge
Creating all this torment you’re defending

Chorus

Out Of Confusion (The Words)

I tried to change the world but
All I did was change my shoes
From the running and the walking on
The roads to break the no way through’s

I tried to stand alone with
Just one view where did I look
All the knowledge that I thought I had
Was just a chapter not the book

The thunder the lightning
The energy endures the ripening
Where am I where are you
The summer sun depends on break through *
The wanting the failing
Can’t anything be just plain sailing
This dreaming illusion
I’ve woken up I’ve woken up
I’ve woken up out of confusion

I tried to push the world but
It was all in self-defence
All the pressure when it hit the ground
Rediscovered every sense

I tried to break the mould of
Just another come what may
In the distance where it all began
The journey to enrichment day

Chorus

Middle 8/Chorus
The thunder the lightning
The energy endures the ripening
Where am I where are you
The summer sun depends on break through

The thunder the lightning
The energy endures the ripening
Where am I where are you
The summer sun depends on break through *
The wanting the failing
Can’t anything be just plain sailing
This dreaming illusion
I’ve woken up I’ve woken up
I’ve woken up out of confusion

Wheelhouse (the words)

Nothing matters more than in your heaven
Nothing drives me more to feeling free
Something helps me breathe more when you’re near
And helps me hit the home runs endlessly

Always where you are is where I’m staying
Always us together is the key
Nowhere has the solace or the feeling
And puts me in the wheelhouse where we’ll be

Where we’ll be is in the wheelhouse
The most fortunate of places
In the comfort of we love us
On the wavelength of embraces

Sometimes we need shelter from the thunder
Sometimes there’s the dare and where to be
Having us to lean on is our answer
We’re safe within the wheelhouse you and me

You and me inside the wheelhouse
The most fortunate of places
In the comfort of we love us
On the wavelength of embraces

The Tug Of Love Of Life (the words)

People come and people go
And just for what we’ll never know
It’s just the tug of love of life
What we think and what we say
Is always good for every day
If tomorrow cuts us like a knife

Rainbows glow then rainbows fade
To show us all how we are made
And just how fragile we all are
Lonely roads and crowded streets
We need them both we need retreats
To keep a distance near or far

But it’s alright and it’s the way
To smile your tears all away

The push and pulls of whys and how
The ups and downs of where to now
The dos and don’ts of lines to cross
The good and bad of gain and loss
And that’s the tug of love – that’s the tug of love - of life

No one knows so no one leads
The search to all we want and need
It’s just another compromise
To feel it once but never twice
And know it’s there to be enticed
From every sunset to sunrise

The push and pulls of whys and how
The ups and downs of where to now
The dos and don’ts of lines to cross
The good and bad of gain and loss
And that’s the tug of love – that’s the tug of love - of life

People come and people go
And just for what we’ll never know
It’s just the tug of love of life

But it’s alright and it’s the way
To smile your tears all away

The push and pulls of whys and how
The ups and downs of where to now
The dos and don’ts of lines to cross
The good and bad of gain and loss
And that’s the tug of love – that’s the tug of love
That’s the tug of love – that’s the tug of love – of life
And understand it so much better now

The Tug Of Love Of Life

Slowburn (the words)
Slowburn remember the slowburn
Watching the world turn
Deep inside me - deep inside me

Slowburn protecting the slowburn
From all that we learn
A dream within me – dream within me

Would you strip my mind of worldly goods
And change me like the seasons
You can try and scrape away my senses
But you can’t give me one good reason
To not surround myself with all………. the

Slowburn caressing the slowburn
Touching what we yearn
To have and to hold - have and to hold

Slowburn shielding the slowburn
Away from the wrong turn
And lead it to me – lead it to me

Would you strip my mind of worldly goods
And change me like the seasons
You can try and scrape away my senses
But you can’t give me one good reason
To not surround myself with all………. the

Slowburn forever the slowburn
Always no U-turn
And stay within me – stay within me

Would you strip my mind of worldly goods
And change me like the seasons
You can try and scrape away my senses
But you can’t give me one good reason
To not surround myself with all……….. with all………. with all………. the slowburn

All Wrapped Up In You (the words)

Who will make your nightmares disappear
Who will share your dreams when they come true
Who will make you laugh whenever you may cry
And all the ups and downs to pull you through

And who will, who can
Well here, here I am
Here and waiting
I’m all wrapped up in you
Yeah here, here I am
Here and waiting
I’m all wrapped up in you
I’m all wrapped up in you

Who will sooth your pain if hurt you feel
Who will lead the way to guide you home
Who will pick you up if ever you may fall
And stop the days and nights feeling alone


And who will, who can
Well here, here I am
Here and waiting
I’m all wrapped up in you
Yeah here, here I am
Here and waiting
I’m all wrapped up in you
I’m all wrapped up in you

I would shower you in kisses
And all I know is all I am
I would cover you in love
And all I could is all I can
Wrap you up in passion
And all I know is all I am
Send you heaven from above
And all I could is all I can

Who will take their time to get to know you
Who will always look at you and smile
Who will keep you warm and throw away the cold
And think of you forever all the while

And who will, who can
Well here, here I am
Here and waiting
I’m all wrapped up in you
Yeah here, here I am
Here and waiting
I’m all wrapped up in you - x2
I’m all wrapped up in you
A parcel to undo
A present just for two
A gift for life for.....!

All Wrapped Up In You

Hi there and thanks to anyone and everyone that has taken the time to search, find and listen to these songs. The Time+Zones are a collaboration of myself Paul Beaumont and Ian Jenkins. Ian and I have been friends for many years but have come from 2 very different musical directions to be recording together. (Ian is also on soundcloud as Ian Jenkins 3. If you visit him You Are, Inside Out, Gliding and Famous Last Looks are all my lyrics that he has put music to. His version of Famous Last Looks adoptss on a very different feel than the one by the Time Zones!)

I have played guitar on and off since I was about 13 but have always had a head for lyrics and an ear for melodies and whilst the words have all been written down (now well over 100), the tunes have just been in my head until 2009 when I decided to do something with them all. So I invested in some home recording equipment (Cubase, a line 6 UX2 and an M-audio keyrig) and haven't looked back since. Some of the songs that will appear on Soundcloud were first written/started way back in 1980 right up to present date.

I don't profess to have influences, music itself is a reason to do this but there are a number of bands and artistes that have helped give me the reason, such as Echo and the Bunnymen, The House of Love, Joy Division, The Velvet Underground, Simon and Garfunkel, Leonard Cohen, John Sebastian.

Ian is an accomplished keyboard player and musician. He has been in a number of rock and soul bands, has played loads of live gigs and also has recording experience. He has helped bring these songs to life (so a big thank you to Ian).
I have only been a domestic musician so far.
