Another Vodka
03:54
|
|||
|
So I poured another measure and it doesn't look right
We'll be giggling and dancing 'til the end of night
So close your eyes and down it as the next one pours
Well now I've gone and said it as I am all yours
CHORUS
There's nothing in this world that could ruin today
[I feel I'm alive]
I have these mad ideas that I whisk you away
[We blossom and thrive]
There's nothing in this world that could ruin a night electric
What makes our minds tick?
There's nothing in this world that could ruin today
And I didn't finish laughing 'til my stomach hurt
The kind of words that aren't the most conventional flirt
So pour another vodka, which one of them is mine?
I think I may have overpoured like I'm inclined to
CHORUS

Funny Old Thoughts

Monetizing
This track is monetizing.
How can 20 odd years fly so fast whilst I wait
There's a magnetic force that grasps for my soul mate
Noone else really stood a chance to compete
From day one you accidentally swept me off my feet
CHORUS
I've been waiting to hold you
Waiting for a long time
I've been thinking about you
These funny old thoughts of mine
I've been nothing without you
I can barely read the time
The minutes they pass so fast together
I'm holding this moment close forever
I'm thinking like a romantic valentine
I'm a joker whilst I dance and giggle I'm the fool
I melt a little every time I see you and I drool
When life is tricky every single one of us needs a lift
I kind of think that after all I've been through you're a gift
CHORUS

Bulletproof
03:38
|
|||
|
I spent years hiding under the table
Half expecting a war
I just escaped although I'm slightly less stable
But I'm alive after all
CHORUS
Give a snigger give a round of applause cuz I'm smiling
Please excuse all my obvious flaws whilst I'm smiling
See me laugh hear me cry with excitement
I'm smiling and striving not to let you down
If there's no picture it didn't happen
Forever searching the truth
I've got my naughty school boy cap on
I think that I'm bulletproof
CHORUS
I spent years hiding under the table
Where I was waiting for you
I stayed there for as long as I was able
But now I've started anew
CHORUS

I find myself sketching my autobiography
I've written tend pages of bland bland mediocrity
And then comes the page I've dreamt of for ages
I'm trying to describe how your laugh is contagious
CHORUS
What you're meaning to me is too hard to conceive
What you're meaning to me
There's so much to achieve and its all a relief
What you're meaning to me
If I say to myself I've a skill penning literature
But the words leave my brain when I'm set on describing you
And then comes the page when everything changes
I cannot describe on multiple pages how great it it
CHORUS
And then comes the page I've dreamt of for ages
Oh skip a few pages we're heading for Vegas
CHORUS

In This Song
04:48
|
|||
|
You've probably laughed a little bit about what's written
I surprised myself that it is such a lengthy tome
It talks about a guy that's been forever smitten
That hunted long but sadly he returned alone
CHORUS
And in this song it has flashes of true story
In this song
And in this song that I hope is not too boring
In this song there's a very happy ending
I blushed a little bit but I still kept on writing
Some parts that I'm embarrassed over how I behaved
It was like I had two inner demons there up fighting
But after all I got the final chapter I craved
CHORUS

Spellbound
04:48
|
|||
|
It took some time but good things come those that sit and wait
Well I waited long but had the best of times
I have a smile that seems to grow a mile each couple of days
And we prove that we have not yet reached our prime
CHORUS
We can be everything we ever planned
We think the same thoughts whilst they frowned
We can beat age as we walk hand in hand
Its true to say that I'm spellbound
I reached out long ago but seemingly not far enough
And its funny how this thing called life it goes
Should I have reached out further when I had a young man's grip?
Well I think I did and I also know you froze
CHORUS

When You're in Awe
04:53
|
|||
|
Have you ever watched a film you never wanted to end?
You're sitting hand in hand and there's no reason to pretend
Reach in reach out for the heart
I failed all my auditions but I still got the part
CHORUS
When you're in awe you're always coming back for more
When you desire you constantly search for the trip wire
When you're in love you really cannot get enough
When you're in awe you feel so sure
They say that good things come to all those people that will wait
I waited long and got myself in some kind of bad state
This makes it all worthwhile
I think I spent all my former years in constant denial
CHORUS
I won't pretend I truly think there is a lord or God
But I can't explain how things turn out sometimes it seems so odd
Its better than I could believe
I guess I always had my heart beating above my sleeve
CHORUS

Shadows
04:30
|
|||
|
I've been hoping to see you
I've been hoping for days
I've been counting the hours
To get me out of this malaise
I've got so much to offer
All this time we're apart
Absence just makes me suffer
Oh be still my beating heart
CHORUS
Well that's life
I'm standing here waiting
For our life
And though its frustrating it will be worthwhile
It's our life
In shadows we're dating
For our life
Its really worth stating I've been here a while
I've been yearning to see you
And not just in my dreams
I'm all lustful and playful
And all the laughing splits my seams
When I hold you against me
And I'm feeling your breath
I know I've much to offer
In the time that I've got left
CHORUS
I've been hoping to see you
And we crawl across the floor
With a giggle and splutter
There's really nothing I want more
It's the most perfect painting
It's the most perfect song
An elaborate story
The joy of which goes on and on

A New World
04:50
|
|||
|
I always sat and starred at the stars shining brightly
And so far away
You may have been light years away but I still dreamt nightly
And through most of the day too
Blurred visions of you
Its true
I'm hitch-hiking through the sky blue
CHORUS
I'm floating to the most exciting planet
I'm putting down my stake in a new world
I never got the insight and never planned it
But I am happy at the way this all occurred
We've always talked the same warped and crazy language
And that makes me smile
Now I'm in your land I'm grasping hard at the anchorage
So its been a while for both
But nothings changed
Hear my oath
I crave crave for this life I've exchanged
CHORUS
