What Remains

Missing Piece 04:10
lyrics

I've been empty, I've been humble Been some kind of curiosity I spent too many years imprisoned in a cell of pure hypocrisy An eager tutor learned the time But soon forgot the skills needed to count I owe you big style oh you treasure And by god owe you a large amount CHORUS I was all charged I was incomplete Scratched up and scarred But it seems I firmly fell on my feet Wave the white flag Ignore what I said I had love jet lag But then I kind of met you instead So many talents You don't know you have We're losing our balance To find it we require a Satnav There's no hill to climb There's no more I need When it comes to my time Surely you are my missing piece Hear the cheering, hear the trumpets Hear the carnival of chaos crash I think I inadvertently created some kind of a front page splash CHORUS You're a jewel a pure treasure You are everything that I could want Would you like another cocktail in this Jamaican restaurant? CHORUS

Secret Life of the Life Model 03:14
lyrics

CHORUS If you've got it, you've got to show it I'm not saying a word, I am shutting up shop There's a gasp and some chuckling as the towel does drop Is it artistic expression or just a cheap thrill Anyways I am getting a chill CHORUS You have got a whole hour and the timer now starts Minge, meat or whatever this is getting top marks I can move into any position you ask Just as long as you don't point CHORUS The secret life of the life model, oh mums the word The rumours are true so tell me what you have heard I'm not easily embarrassed, I've shown off quite a bit Well if you've got it, you've got to show it! CHORUS

One Day 04:34
lyrics

There's a calling in the night A constant hunger deep inside me I always know when something's right And if I fail at least I tried and tried There's a calling in my head A thought I never can switch off You fell asleep, what if I'm dead? You know we'd wake and laugh alot and again CHORUS I keep on calling out Calling your name We are both calling the same Then we laugh It's a game And we dream of one day There's a calling that I hear And I am always listening out I lust to always hold you near I never had a single doubt at all CHORUS

What Remains 03:50
lyrics

My heart's beating with some strange emotion (What remains) I think I swallowed an indian love potion (What remains) My heart cracked once and so did my liver (What remains) When half my life floated east down the river (What remains) CHORUS But you're gorgeous You're divine So contagious And all mine Nothing tiresome Nothing wanes It's outrageous! Black liquid that ran through my bones (What remains) My skin dented from too many stones (What remains) My back broke, I'm a little more brittle (What remains) I no longer play the second fiddle (What remains) CHORUS Dark energy was sucked from my brain (What remains) Leaving nothing but an unsavoury stain (What remains) But I've recovered and I couldn't ask for better (What remains) Just hope what remains doesn't upset her (What remains) CHORUS What remains

Past Personas 05:00
lyrics

I feel it fading into the night All my past failings out of my sight CHORUS What a difference months (years) can make What was I looking for? Where was the time? My past personas were just fake I couldn't take no more Show me the sign You were a vision clear in my mind Name in my songbooks and underlined CHORUS Gasp for a moment - losing my breath All my past failings have died a true death CHORUS

Even After a Day 03:19
lyrics

When I opened my closet disgusted by nothing I never guessed at the good things that shortly were coming Shine like gold When I hold you tight in an embrace And without a doubt I melt on seeing your face CHORUS Hell even after a day you damn well blew my life away If I was a religious man praying for something I'd be grateful for the angel of mirth that the prayer brings Cause we're daft And you'd laugh if I fell flat on my ass I'd laugh too back at you Its what we do to make time pass CHORUS

Power 05:05
lyrics

I'm not a phoney wannabe That dreamt up a whole fantasy that wasn't there I took my time I paid my crime I crawled the world through grit and grime without a care I heard the tell I found no clue Was ages since I'd talked to you but soon came back I'm hypnotised! Please use your power Besotted by each coming hour - you've got the knack CHORUS What would I do to run afar When we're together there's no power that can come between us We're skipping to a grand and last hurrah What would I do to have more time When we're together there's a power surging right through us Have you ever felt a heart? Well please have mine I'm feeling ever confident You're everything that I could want - you always were When good times come you hope they last I may as well erase my past its all a blur CHORUS

I'm Not Complaining 03:16
lyrics

When I wrote my list I scribbled on the whole page What I wanted to achieve what I wanted for me I'm moving forward whilst reversing Staring at a red brick wall Gave my loose change to the deserving Left here with not much at all CHORUS But I not complaining (now) When you're flat on your face it is hard not to giggle Drown the laughter you hear from all those around Where is success and what's the answer? What is the meaning to life? I'm risk averse and not a chancer Walk on the flat of the knife CHORUS Toss a coin and by magic watch it disappearing In a puff my whole life has gone up in white smoke I'm moving forward whilst reversing Staring at a red brick wall Gave my loose change to the deserving Left here with not much at all CHORUS

Something Just As Fun 03:38
lyrics

I got a short term memory Goldfish remember more than me I forget half of what I do Apart from time with you Its tough when you are not around I sulk and drop down to the ground I tried to do what Prince did But I removed no rib CHORUS Bed - We said Head to bed Or something just as fun instead My heart is always yearning A passion spiced and burning Excuse my occasional flaws I blame the manopause To crave the icy finger Then pray that it doth linger I can't contain excitement Lets just head up to the bed CHORUS My brain it sure is spinning It did from the beginning If anything its faster I hope that I'm a Laster To feel you in the morning As the new day is dawning I have an increasing head Lets just head up to the bed CHORUS
