Better go
05:26

Gonna say it all again
Life it just a simple plan
Better go, better go, better go
Gonna say that it’s the end
Mother dear I’ll be gone again
To my friends, I hope it ends this way
All who see the wasteland
Can only start again
And I’ll be fine
Just say I am like you want me to be
Surely I could break the spell
Surely I would rattle & shake it up
All you know it fell in pieces
All who see the wasteland
Can only start again
And I’ll be fine
Just say I am like you want me to be
All who see the wasteland
Can only start again
Don’t think that this will be the end
Leave it like you found it
Come back home again
I’ll be fine
Just say I am like you want me to be

Wait another year
02:55
|

|
Hope I never let you go away
We’ll last forever for many years
Once felt so hungry
But now I’m too much at ease
I can see it coming
Coming over here
It’s gonna catch me when it’s near
Don’t wait another year
The dreams that I keep looking for keep me wide awake
Sometimes I feel so tired I wish that I could sleep
In dreams it all comes back to me
All that I wish to see
I can see it coming
Coming over here
It’s gonna catch me when it’s near
Don’t wait another year

All the same
04:01

When you say that your mind’s still young
You might just tell a lie
I don’t know what’s right or wrong
When there are no mistakes
Take my breath
Take my poor heart too
And all that’s left for you
But what about me
What about me
I still love you all the same
What’s bugging me I can’t tell no-one
It’s not a secret to unveil
Tell me yours and I’ll bring you some
It’s not that I don’t know what’s left to come
Take my breath
Take my poor heart too
And all that’s left for you
But what about me
What about me
I still love you all the same

Never leave me
03:44
|

Bad luck and the road is rough
Gonna make it if I try
Get up, hope that I will find
My way back home on time
You’ll never leave me
No matter how hard I try
You’re mad and I know you’re right
That’s what I’ve been saying all this time
I never listen and I never come
When you ask me to be closer
You’ll never leave me
For another guy
Come back to bed now
I’ll feel sorry in the morning
To break up, end up feeling strange
Even remember your name
Some folks always keep it clean
But I’m feeling dirty and I’ll always be
You’ll never leave me
No matter how hard I try
You’ll never leave me
For another guy
Come back to bed now, come back to sleep
I’ll feel sorry in the morning
Just like I’ll always be

Tired ghosts
03:17
|
|||
|
I’m going down the road
No-one really knows just where to go
I meet them in the park
Faces don’t get pretty once it’s dark
I saw them in the news today
They didn’t look that sad suddenly
I’m going late at night
Some they shout, some end up in a fight
I meet them in the fare
They only seem to get up to go anywhere
I know I should be part of them
The heat, the booze, the laughs, I’m doing all I can
Maybe once they’re gone it doesn’t seem that wrong
They’ll be sleeping like a rose, all these tired ghosts
I’m going down the road
No-one really knows just where to go
I meet them in the park
Faces don’t get pretty once it’s dark

Fool me now
04:51
|
|||
|
Don’t fail me now
When I’m waking up beside you
Don’t fail me now
When I’m feeling blue
Don’t fail me now
When I’m done with all the dreaming
It’s only gonna fool me now
Only gonna fool me now
Don’t cut too deep
There’s another way to say it
Don’t cut too deep
Just go to sleep
Don’t face me now
When I’m trying to be tender
It’s only gonna fool me now
Only gonna fool me now
Dreams go by, they’re never gonna fool me now

My brother will know him and see him come
Hope I’ll see him later on
He’ll tell you ‘bout forgiving, sure will get you through
Hard times and keep an eye over you
Tell me a secret ‘bout Jesus right now
I’ll tell you a secret ‘bout him now
He’ll always keep on waiting for you to come along
Mother watch over your son
Trying to be happy but through this world I roam
No more hesitating when I’m gone
A cool, cool wind, a cool wind’s gonna blow
I my sails, I’m coming home
Tell me a secret ‘bout Jesus right now
I’ll tell you a secret ‘bout him now
He’ll always keep on waiting for you to come along
Mother watch over your son
Tell me, tell me, tell me a secret ‘bout Jesus right now
I’ll tell you, tell you, tell you a secret ‘bout him now
Tell me a secret ‘bout Jesus right now
I’ll tell you a secret ‘bout him now
He’ll always keep on waiting for you to come along
Mother watch over your son

Off the pedestal
03:10

Yes I’m the man who’ll try tomorrow
Tried to do my best today
To end up feeling full of sorrow
I think I’ll lose my job anyway
No my boss sure don’t look that happy
For he’s working harder than I’ll ever do
Wonder why I don’t feel like trying
Tell me now what I’m afraid to lose
Please don’t try to let it go
I’m not ready to be free
Just let it go, let it go
Let it go tonight
I read their faces and I hear the riddles
Wondering what they might think of me
A thousand things left to be handled
Well I keep myself to all the small things that I need
Sure I know I should’ve said so
But I’m not willing to be here
In between a yes and no
There ain’t a place to go to
Please don’t try to let it go, I’m not ready to be free
Sure I know I should’ve said so, but I’m not willing to be here
Don’t know what I’d lose, but I’m not going in too deep
Once they’re inside and you’re outside it seems so hard to hide

Thought I had it all today
But now they put it all away
Far away from me
Lost my friends along the way
Thought we’d stay the same
Think I lost it in the rain
I said I’d cross the ocean
And never could be found
I’m sleeping on your doorstep
I’m stuck to the ground
Would you rather be, would you rather be
A hero in the paper
Would you kindly please, would you please
Move out of my way
I said I’d cross the ocean
And never could be found
I’m sleeping on your doorstep
I’m stuck to the ground
I followed all the signs, did all to live my dreams
I wanted it so bad and never fell asleep
I said I’d cross the ocean and never could be found
I’m sleeping on your doorstep, I’m stuck to the ground
I said I’d cross the ocean and never could be found
I’m sleeping on your doorstep, I’m stuck to the ground

Feel free
02:28

Trying to be brave but it’s easy doing nothing
You’d better wait
Don’t hear a word you say still I’m trying to be certain
Follow me
Few know what is wrong with me
But I feel free
See a shooting start but I know I’m far too yellow
It bothers me
Get home every night with a brand new story
You know I cheat
Fly on to another day
But you know I’m late
Few know what is wrong with me
Waiting when it’s time to sleep
I’m awake every morning every day
Still don’t know what else to say
But I feel free

Window shopping
03:22
|
|||
|
10.000 Dollars on my mind
Still don’t know what I hope to find
Well it gets worse the more you do
Whish there’d be someone to spell out the truth
Can’t you see the window shopping mob
I hope to lose
I pass an old man in the street
After one long day at the office, I’m finally free
Don’t give one dime I won’t even point him into the right direction
Crippled and blind, what he was hoping to find and to see in my eyes
Can’t you see the window shopping mob
I hope to lose
Don’t go out shopping when you’re hoping to find
Some peace of mind will do
When days grow long and the politicians sing
10.000 Dollars no they can’t set me free
Can’t you see the window shopping mob
I hope to lose

Catching waves

Catching waves
They take me up & down
The make me swim & drown
I keep my eyes on the shoreline
‘Cause I might find
What I’ve been looking for
Then I wonder why
And how I never stopped believing
Wake me up now please
For I’ve been sleeping too long & too deep
I’ve been trying to get up now
I’ve been trying in my dreams
When I make my way across the ocean
I don’t seem to get somewhere near
Then I wonder why
And how I never stopped believing
Wake me up now please
For I’ve been sleeping too long & too deep
