Too Many Ghosts

Too Many Ghosts 02:50
lyrics
buy track
There are too many ghosts in my head The bleak reminders of the things that I did What I said to you should not have been said I'm going crazy, with too many ghosts There are too many ghosts in my head CHORUS In my head - You have to have a fantasy In my head - I'm a figure of hypocrisy In my head - I'm hanging high from legacy There are too many ghosts in my head But that's expected from the life that I led I'm treading paths that I have already tread How can I sleep with too many ghosts There are too many ghosts in my head CHORUS

Fish 02:03
lyrics

When I hear your name I cough You've spoilt my life enough Your vocal chords took off and just got higher Higher If I could erase you sure I would But the memories were good Its not a bad childhood But its not mine Minors beware CHORUS If you hear the rumour mill And the nagging doubts there still Don your fancy cap and frills Peeping through the window sill Controversy served on a dish You can sue me if you wish But the scandal tastes delicious if you fish A very distinct style I'd spot you from a mile Its written in my file That caught on fire Fire At the thought of you I retch I'm doing a nude sketch So try hard not to letch To pass the time Timer CHORUS

Under Your Skin 04:02
lyrics

You can't stop the waving frantic from the shore I've sent all my loving and I'm still sending more CHORUS I'm simmering under I'm testing understanding I'm literally under your skin I'm full of the wise cracks my stories the same There are butterfly flutters each time when I see your name CHORUS I work like I'm clockwork in some ground hog day I'm waffling endlessly and I don't go away CHORUS

Famous Once I'm Dead 04:34
lyrics
buy track
Its a tonic to be writing this song I knew all along that I'm teetering (on the edge) So moronic that it all came out wrong There's no golden gong whilst I'm living Hold the front page In my obituary people will see I had something I'm holding back rage Because it is only me that knows what I could be and I'm suffering CHORUS (What's left?) So don't listen to a word I've said (What's right?) I'm a genius in my own head (Turn left) So don't listen to a word I've said (I'm right / hold tight) Like a book not yet read, I'll be famous once I'm dead (What's left?) So don't listen to a word I've said (What's right) I can't bother to get out of bed (Turn left) So don't listen to a word I've said Like Van Gogh's mutilated head I'll be famous once I'm dead Clap! Oh you may well have guessed that I'm self confessed high acumen Don't turn the tap as my ego exists I'm just a narcissist again and again There's a truth I have too many songs That I knew all along but couldn't stop it Oh the youth of today have it wrong So just please sing along to the catchy bit! CHORUS

Intrusion 03:09
lyrics

Don't say I'm the problem not the solution I'm sorry for the long and slow intrusion Pass my coat and pass the moment Excuse the slack in my atonement My mind is warped my speech is slurring I'm not aware of what's occurring Don't say I'm the problem not the solution I'm sorry for the long and slow intrusion

The Same 04:36
lyrics
buy track
Creatures and plant life evolve but the worlds vaguely the same I've a short shelf life I've been the heir to fortune just in name Picture a princess Picture such a beauty as you wish Though I may confess I've picked up the most tasty dish CHORUS And I will always feel the same through pain and thunder And I will always feel the same And I will always feel the same until you cast me asunder A chance to run dear as I'll always feel the same Sat at a table staring gormless at your eyes The best I'm able I'll lift you up into the skies A voice mesmerising It suits the accomplished written hand You are so tantalising I've a different wish than originally planned CHORUS

Magic 02:56
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes life is like a roleplay game But whatever path you take the ends the same I rolled a pair of dice I turned to the next page I'm not cut out to be a mage I started turning left then turned a right I faced a dragon and a python bite To roll a pair of dice And turn another page I should be past this by my age CHORUS Is there really magic that will bind us? Is there really magic at all? Is there something reachable inside of us? Is there really something at all? I'm afraid to say that I cheat at games But however hard I try the ends the same I rolled a pair of dice And turned another page But I'm still stuck at this same stage CHORUS

No Longer The Bee Knees 02:09
lyrics
buy track
Given half a chance I would run a mile - You're so vile We are twice the size we were But somehow when you smile - I crumble CHORUS We're no longer the bees knees That's a matter of fact But there's something these eyes see Through the layers of fat (I'm scared of what I'm looking at) I was once a beanpole And you were sweet and slender - so tender Through the years we've both ballooned And I doubt that it will end there - we simply don't care CHORUS

Woohoo 04:00
lyrics
buy track
Ambitiously gazing I really have nothing else to do The talents amazing And no-one else seems to have much clue Unleash the ego free How many words can fit a page? Ok so you're better than me But at least I can calm my inner rage CHORUS Everybody's lapping up all that you can do What's it like to always have so much to prove? I'm sitting firm but my muscles really want me to move This is the most amazing music but I can't approve Woohoo! The bars set at great height But that leaves a long distance to fall A small push and you might be in the gutter after all This may sound pedantic There may be just some jealousy within I'm hair plucking frantic And losing when it should be win-win CHORUS

Beneath the Setting Sun 05:00
lyrics
buy track
Time is short The desert sand (the joys abound) Each grain has memories yet to have been found Stubborn grit Irritates the eye (the grain to die) I'm making my run to launch and to fly Cigar lit Like in the film (from birth to doom) I've been dreaming this existence since the womb Catch the speed Feel the shot (like time forgot) I cannot believe that's really all you've got CHORUS In a world where life has frozen firm Beneath the setting sun I sit and ponder what a person I have gone and become Beware the outlaws gun Crumpled poster Saying dead or alive (with violence rife) Hold my hand up in surrender - I lived a good life CHORUS
