From this UFO
02:05
|
|||
|
I'm oh so scared
So unprepared
Yet I know I'll still see you when I go
But its not sunk in yet
CHORUS
And I'll still see you when I want
Be with you when I want
And I will tease you from this UFO
Please touch my hands
My swollen glands
Hold me tight before I vanish in the night
Visit alien lands
CHORUS

2. |

|
And when will I ever see you again?
It may be in the morning
But I'm stressing its a "maybe" not "when"
And I was dreaming we were always combined
I ooze imagination
But I hope its not just thoughts in my mind
CHORUS
Every night together is a night in the past
I'm craving for the future and the future that will last
Every night together is a time that I seek
I count my lucky stars that we embrace most days most weeks
And when will I ever see you some more?
I'm staring out the window
Though I saw you only seconds before
And you are always at the front of my mind
From morning 'till the sunsets
And the thoughts are we are one of a kind
CHORUS

Excuses for Aliens
02:27
|
|||
|
Sing to you
Words so true
Straight from the heart
No-one knows
Hold you close
Right from the start
Who should care?
Just be aware
We all play our part
CHORUS
We live a life so peaceful on our own
We built a life so perfect on our own
And life it has a purpose on our own
We're tired making excuses for aliens
Nothing wrong
We both belong
Forever entwined
For what its worth
We rule the Earth
And you blew my mind
It may sound bad
But I am glad
That we're both inclined
CHORUS
To live a life so peaceful on our own
To build a life so perfect on our own
As life it has a purpose on our own
We're tired making excuses for aliens

Sinister Design
02:54
|
|||
|
You're so blunt when you grunt
That we're never going to make it
Well rejoice, what a choice
So the breakup hurt not one bit
But your eyes, well they cloaked a far more sinister disguise
'Cause you've always been a winner
And your voice I heard crack
As you spat my love back
Held a shield, formed a front
Guess you were planning your little stunt
Held a toast, made the most
Of my new acquired freedom
I undressed my mistress
Felt a shiver down the backbone
And your eyes, I could sense them slowly monitoring her thighs
And I suppose that killed the passion
Then the knock on the door
Haunts me forever more
And though my answer was slow
To the door I did go
There you stand, gun in hand
Saying "though we're not going to make it
No-one else shares this house"
And you burst into a mad fit
And your eyes, blood red vehicle from which the devil does arise
And eliminates the rival
Disappears in thin air, I utter a prayer
And I know the same fate
Belongs to lovers I may make
Denied future love

More Beer Than Bob
02:10
|
|||
|
Its a culture that I wouldn't dare dismiss
I wear the glass like a crown (like a clown)
Just a few sips on a trip to heavenly bliss
Ok I'm fun to be around
CHORUS
See me swagger, see smile, see me sway
I've drunk more beers than Bob
Think I'm staggering
Can no longer play
I've drunk more beers than Bob
This is legal
This is definitely allowed
I'm not breaking my own laws (I'm appalled)
A little medicine to try and entice the crowd
I'm open with my own flaws
CHORUS
This is one thing you can never take from me
However poorly I become
CHORUS

Needs
03:36
|
|||
|
I think I cared once, I don't know when
I guess I'm going crazy
But I think the grass is greener over there
I take a deep breath and count to ten
Then I shy away all dizzy
I'm carrying around a big sign saying "beware"
CHORUS
I don't deserve to look a fool
I don't deserve that much at all
And whispers spread from friend to friend
An unplanned for revenge
We just need to agree how things should end
We all have needs too
In a distant memory I held your hand
But nothing seems to fit now
It seems a small apology is owed
Well I don't talk much although I can
And silence seems to suit now
Somethings are just much better left unsaid
CHORUS
|

Palpitations
04:33
|
|||
|
I hope I make up for my failings
Can you feel my heart palpitations?
A rhythmical magical beating
Though in the big picture life is fleeting
CHORUS
If there was only one day
We'd run away and let fate catch us
If there was only one life
I assure you I've given it an A+
If there was only one time
Would you share mine without any fuss?
Chronicles of the heart
Well really where should I start?
In the sequence of time I am sure we have played our part
Your absence it stirred up my cravings
It motors my heart's palpitations
CHORUS

Noise Like Silence
03:45
|
|||
|
I've never felt so alone
I can hardly feel your heart at all
The sound in the room just drones
I can hardly hear your hear at all
So we scratched and fighted
Like a torch ignited
Burns all the atmosphere away
There's no noise like silence
Shunned the friendly guidance
Well we are better off this way
The clock hand moves so slow
And another points been overblown
Resentments grow and groans
Well tomorrow who knows, I'll atone
How the hatred breeds still
Bad feeling overkill
Usher on the better days
There's no noise like silence
Tactically make our stance
Things are better off this way
I've never felt so alone
I can hardly feel your heart at all

What a Life
02:34
|
|||
|
"What a life"
We run on limited sleep here
We are running a race against the time
The direction is set and clear
Its for others to stand back, stand in line
Have you seen the itinerary?
Sit back down and enjoy all that's unfurled
Standing firm through adversity
Though its tough we would not swap it for the world
CHORUS
Keep a stock full of ammunition
(What's the river trash you've been fishin')
We're not scared of anything
No not at all
Can I offer just on admission?
I'm the vandal spraying walls on which I scrawl "what a life"
What a life!
We run on limited sleep here
Its overrated and a waste of all our time
Shall we pour out a cold beer?
We're doing good
Oh hell we're doing oh so fine
CHORUS

Never Lost the Plot
02:18
|
|||
|
Arms in the air
Release the last despair
Cast it aside
I need no longer hide
CHORUS
I never lost the plot
I never truly forgot
I never guessed that some dreams come true
Historically they have not
When you're around
Its like a treasure found
Priceless and gold
Gasp as our tale unfolds
CHORUS

One Hit Wonder
02:51
|
|||
|
Wrote my one hit wonder
With limited words
Not getting any younger
So no time for a chorus
Pulsating, catchy, rhythmic
Fits together well
Doomed to hear it over
My own private hell
CHORUS
I'm put up for sale
We performed it on the TV
We played a 12 night tour
We played our one hit wonder
And then the audience got bored
How simple yet frustrating
Our other songs don't sell
Doomed to hear it over
My own private hell
CHORUS
Condemned to compilation
And to questions of "who sang that?"
The champagne's barely opened
But its already gone flat
So quick to hit the top spot
But quicker still it fell
Doomed to hear it over
My own private hell
CHORUS

My Kind of Journey
04:06
|
|||
|
Spotted more infrequently than rarest of birds
Try to close your lugholes to more poisonous words
Half of which are probably just rumours misheard
Or inferred
We should be laying on a beach out somewhere
If anyone notices well why should we care?
Stick two fingers up to anyone who may stare
Who'd dare?
CHORUS
We don't crave attention no mention of our names
We just want to fade out but remembered all the same
Every day the excuses seem slightly more lame
We are the ones who prosper
Despite all we've inhaled
Half of it seems just lost, sir
Maybe we got derailed
But its my kind of journey
Imagination couldn't make this up
Each time I wake my eyes I feel my heart jump
Just give a little grasp at my protruding rump
See my lump
Did anyone see us vanish into thin air?
Its a perfect ending for the most perfect pair
Planning our big exist, oh well what should I wear?
Who cares?
CHORUS

Nursery Rhyme
03:19
|
|||
|
Sang you a nursery rhyme
Changing all but one line
The line I feel is about you
You were so wonderful
You liked a fun for all
And I felt fun when with you
CHORUS
And the nights seem so dull and the bedroom real cold without you
Now I speak to myself can't stand anyone else only you
You looked so deathly thin
'cause you didn't eat nothing
But I liked that about you
One cold night when I awoke
To see you go up in smoke
And I warmed my hands over you
CHORUS
Sang you a nursery rhyme
Changing all but one line
That line I feel is about you
You were so wonderful
But you were combustible
There's a warmth in my heart
You
