Good Advice 03:41
Good Advice Stop, before you fall Dont play with the pretty flame Only have yourself to blame You're running before you can crawl Going like a freight train Throwing caution after pain Its easy to be wise when its not your problem Easy to be brave when theres nothing to loose Easy to be smart when the world if your oyster But good advice it hard to choose No shortcuts, no early reprieve Time to stop the daydream You've been staring at the same scene So hard to stay, so easy to leave Navigate the grey sea life is but a maybe Its easy to be wise when its not your problem Easy to be brave when theres nothing to loose Easy to be smart when the world if your oyster But good advice it hard to choose Good Advice Is Hard To Choose Good Advice Is Hard To Choose Good Advice Is Hard To Choose Good Advice Is Hard To Choose So look, before you dive in Cracked your head on the bottom Lesson learned, forgotten Its a long road, but god you know you're alive When you think that all your fights gone Somebody turns a light on Its easy to be wise when its not your problem Easy to be brave when theres nothing to loose Easy to be smart when the world if your oyster But good advice it hard to choose Good Advice Is Hard To Choose Good Advice Is Hard To Choose Good Advice Is Hard To Choose Good Advice Is Hard To Choose (so dont burn your bridges, exercise daily, plan your time to maximise productivity and regulate your caffeine intake)

The body in my bed doesn't always get me too busy in his head to be delving in to mine and the body in my bed, is quiet and peaceful a single golden thread stretched so fine I'm sorry darling I didn't mean to dream of another I'm sorry darling I didn't mean to dream of another And the body in my bed doesn't always love me Sometimes silent and misread we wait for morning to arrive And the body in my bed isn't always present or correct This rollercoaster we surface and we dive I'm sorry darling I didn't mean to dream of another I'm sorry darling I didn't mean to dream of another I didn't mean to It was an accident And the body in my bed doesn't always get me So sorry darling, I didn't mean to dream of another lover

Duck & Run 03:50
Shotgun, I'll be sitting next to you riding the silver line to happy ever after, swerve avert disaster no-one has ever made me feel the way you do I searched the whole world through you were unexpected no need to dissect this Usually I duck and run for cover but not this time, not this time Cos you're a good one and ill be holding to you same way that you are holding on to me and all my weirdness we don't need to fear this undone all the many reasons why not to settle into loving you crazy bright and breezy I'm sure this is too easy Usually I duck and run for cover But not this time Usually its bad luck and a shudder but not this time

Contortula 05:01
Taught to grow straight and tall Dont resist, even if you're naturally small Fit in to this mould, we will help you squeeze inside Don't unfold, by our rules you will abide But you dared to be an individual After we trained you to fit in We thought we'd trained you so well And you......you turned out beautiful Sit up straight now, don't you gaze at those clouds And stay in shape, and then we will be proud of you But you broke out of the mould, we tried to squeeze you in to Watched you unfold, could not do a thing Cos you dared to be an individual After we trained you to fit in We thought we'd trained you so well And you.....you turned out beautiful We call you CONTORTULA Thats not right Now you don't fit Our parameters They won't permit Someone of your shape and size Walking round with open eyes Cos you dared to be an individual After we trained you to fit in We thought we'd trained you so well And you.......YOU......you turned out beautiful We call you CONTORTULA How beautiful you are How beautiful you are even if you never fit in We are beautiful!

Fracture 04:22
Dig down deep deep down through the stone, through the soil, through solid ground Sell it as a better way to supply the demand oh but look at what you have found A way to set our water on fire, a way to make the ground shake put our future on a high wire no safety net to break - our fall what about the next chapter do you think of that when you fracture mix your chemicals, shove it deep in the dirt this concoction toxic option, acid for dessert what about the 100 other ways disaster to avert check it with the board only when somebody gets hurt when you set our water on fire, when you make the ground shake put our future on a high wire no safety net to break our fall what about the next chapter do you think of that - when you fracture?

Trick Of the Light I see your face in the smoke rings Floating across this room What was once a smile now disappears Like the man on the moon Fill the air up with the laughter of you And I'm breathing gold Stranded one night out on desert sands Couldnt stop the cold From coming in From coming in Sweet silver dreams I wish for you Every single night And warm friendly arms wrapped around When you're buried and out of sight Oh and could it be The dawn that takes you away Or could it be A trick of the light that creates this day Could it be a trick Could it be a trick Could it be a trick Could it be a trick of the light Could it be a trick of the light Could it be a trick of the light Could it be a trick of the light I see your face in the smoke rings Floating across this room What was once a smile now disappears Like that man on that moon Oh and could it be The dawn that takes you away Or could it be A trick of the light that creates this day

Our Demise 04:32
Never been the one to run In the face of you Always been the one to Shield the sun from your eyes Our demise Its right here between us A thousand tiny tries behind us Should have been the one to run Sooner than I did I would have seen the sun So much sooner than I did But our demise Its right here between us A thousand tiny lies behind us I should have run, run Faster than a bullet from a gun Should have run away I should have run, run Faster than a speeding train So insane to remain Think I loved a dream Closed my eyes and hoped it was true Think I loved a dream I closed my eyes Always been the one you Ran to when the darkness fell Saved up all your sun And showed it to strangers You showed me your hell Our Demise its right here between us A thousand bad goodbyes behind us I should have run, run Faster than a bullet from a gun I should have run, run Faster than a bullet from a gun I should have run, run Faster than a bullet from a gun I should have run, run Faster than a bullet from a gun I should have run, run Faster than a bullet from a gun I should have run, run Faster than a bullet from a gun I should have run, run Faster than a bullet from a gun I should have run, run Faster than a bullet from a gun

Remnants 04:14
Remnants All thats left, is a photograph Stuck lopsidedly In the back of a book That you left behind Memory rewind Cos you never struck me as a happy man I don't remember you ever reaching for my hand but apparently there are a few Remnants of you All thats left is an empty space No perspective On which to base all my ideals on Memory now gone Cos you never struck me as a happy man I don't remember you ever reaching for my hand but apparently there are a few Remnants of you Remnants of you! Remnants of you Remnants of you Remnants of you So do I brush brush off the dust of this Crack open the spine Piece together This story Cos apparently there are few Remnants of me in you too And I hope the good ones they come through
