Time Of Our Lives

In the morning my Lizzy would come
Our voices echo the walls
She always finds her way
From darkness into day

In the morning you'll find no one
In the morning I'll be long gone
I just had to get away
I had to find a way

And the firing line was deep
I took a giant leap
Cause I wanted you to stay
Just to hear you say

We had the time of our lives
Night after night it went on
We kept the flame burning bright
We knew we were right all along


Horizon

I've been to the edge
I've seen the horizon
A flat line of grey
Flat line of faith

I crawled in too late
From the horizon
A china shop bull
A head that's too full

I've stood on the edge
Smelt the horizon
The taste with no name
Comes back again

I watched the sun set
At the horizon
I'm a bull in a ring
Blood glistening

No one to take
To my horizon
Where the sun will not set
And the heat does not quit

You saw that I left
For the horizon
Stayed and I drank
Made a hole in a tank

I see Horizon, see the Horizon


Last Year's Man

Welcome to the show
I'm glad that you're came
Sit back enjoy this scene
Let your eyes adjust you'll see

We're beaming out to you
We beam across the sea
We're coming straight for you
Live from the vipers nest
Can you hear them hiss?

The house lights are blown
I've never see them glow
The props look cheap and mean
To be here, is to be seen

We're beaming out to you
We beam across the sea
We're coming straight for you
Live from the vipers nest
You're live with the best
Can you hear them hiss?

The rain falls down on the work of last year's man
The rain falls, The rain falls

The house lights come on, I'm blinded by their glow
This place looks cheap and mean, I've been here, and I've seen
Still beaming out to you, we beam across the sea, We're coming straight for you….

The rain falls down on the work of last year's man


Good For Me

As I turned to face everyone
And I watched your look change
I lost all my humour when
They all turned away

And I've got something you should know
Well it came in a dream
You might find that it's been overdone
But it still feels good to me

Will you reach out there for me?
Will you ever find a way?
Will you reach out there for me?
Anyway

When I heard your song I turned it up
And I knew we'd come astray
Have I've lost most of what I'd found
I don't need it anyway

If we scale the heights to where we've been?
Where no meaning can be found
There'd be nothing left to say to you
It's all or nothing; it's all or nothing with me

Will you reach out there for me?
Will you ever find a way?
Will you reach out there for me?
Anyway


Demons Are Forever

I took you on a trip
It made our black hearts sea sick
Ashore we come untied
And judging by your frown I see you've let old friends in
They surface from deep down inside…

Demons are forever

I touch your thin white skin
You play my worn out heart strings
How did we come untied?
I've swayed and dreamt and lost all sense of where we're going
I laughed so hard I nearly cried

Demons are forever

Stranger Life

I've never known a stranger life
I always face the sun
Each time you turn your back on me
You're shrinking as you run

I seem to live the stranger's life
I keep waking up alone
I kept the place where you once lay
Are you coming home?

I chose to live the strangest life
And I take it day by day
And if you choose the safer route
It's downhill all the way

And I detour past your house
In the hope that you'll be there
I've been drinking far too much
In the hope that you might care

I've always lived the strangest life
To never be outdone
