Someone's Watching Over Me 03:45
lyrics
buy track
I know at times I'm lazy but don't think that means maybe I'm not trying my best My lucks run out I'm tired all my chances have perspired as I might have guessed paid my way for the chance to say I'm not always wrong but things will change before too long Sleeping in, I'm out till late again coming home but I just don't know when keeping your eyes peeled In a glass house stones surrounding the cracks appear and now I'm finding a way that leads me out of here All the flies around my head swear that I've gone insane so here is where I will remain Crimson are my cheeks for shame I am sure that I'm to blame catch me when I fall out of my tree I only hope someone's watching over me I paid my way for the chance to say I'm not always wrong but things will change before too long All the flies around my head swear that I've gone insane so here is where I will remain

Calling 03:55
lyrics

Open eyes don't see the truth, it's only when you hit the roof I see been and gone it's all too late, don't forget to close the gate for me I wake up in a sweat hoping it's not over yet The lie is never right so I won't give up the fight All around the room is the smell of your perfume I may turn of the light but please don't fall out of sight I'll be calling....calling....calling out your name calling....calling....will it ever be the same Close your eyes look to the past, hold me close and make it last...please Counting seconds day by day, hurts before it fades away from me I wake up in a sweat hoping it's not over yet The lie is never right so I won't give up the fight All around the room is the smell of your perfume I may turn of the light but please don't fall out of sight I'll be calling....calling....calling out your name calling....calling....will it ever be the same I'm looking for the light that never fades A promise I can take into my grave calling....calling....calling out your name calling....calling....will it ever be the same calling....calling....calling out your name calling....calling....will it ever be the same

Privileged 03:38
lyrics

You see a man who has all he needs that's looking for more through want nor greed take what you can, it'll feel alright then follow the tunnel to the edge of light Is the problem with you or is the problem with me are the privileged chosen are the privileged free is it look up at you or look down on me are the privileged chosen are the privileged free Classes divide, segregation works to keep out the masses, make the rich men jerks government rules to depict what's fair! so follow the leader or they just wont care Is the problem with you or is the problem with me are the privileged chosen are the privileged free is it look up at you or look down on me are the privileged chosen are the privileged free Fraud is a crime, but not a rich mans guilt destroying the lives that others have built counting the cost of an internal war before the Eton men are shown the door Is the problem with you or is the problem with me are the privileged chosen are the privileged free is it look up to you or look down on me are the privileged chosen are the privileged free

Have I Crossed That Bridge Enough For You 03:21
lyrics
buy track
Hold my hand and walk me through the way that life should be I'm not looking to the future, if it's in the past for me got nothing but respect for all those never ending sheep that follow all the rules today, it helps them all to sleep I lie awake at night and think of all the work I did could of won just one more contract if I had upped the bid what will they say, how will it go, I don't know what to do Have I crossed that bridge enough for you? Have I crossed that bridge enough for you? Meeting after meeting, they days they look the same with corporate comm's and detailed rom's, all part of one big game deadlines are frustrating and they're haunting all my dreams changing roles to suit their goals, repeating similar themes I lie awake at night and think of all the work I did could of won just one more contract if I had upped the bid what will they say, how will it go, I don't know what to do Have I crossed that bridge enough for you? Have I crossed that bridge enough for you?

Heroes 04:49
lyrics

It's so hard to know what's right one minute there, then out of sight why is it hard for us to know why do we fear letting go Is there life after we're gone is there a light where life once shone what gives us wings to carry on these thoughts aren't mine they're everyone's Why do we cry, Why do we pray Why do we look for heroes to save the day Living on hope to hide our fears Hoping to wash away the tears It's in your eyes, I see you care You say why me, it isn't fair knowing the time is never right feeling the pain, put up a fight We see it through and help each other out deep down inside, we scream and shout Lord if your there, why put us through this pain I see no value, I see no gain Why do we cry, Why do we pray Why do we look for heroes to save the day Living on hope to hide our fears Hoping to wash away the tears It's so hard to know what's right one minute there, then out of sight why is it hard for us to know why do we fear letting go Why do we cry, Why do we pray Why do we look for heroes to save the day Living on hope to hide our fears Hoping to wash away the tears Hoping to wash away those tears Hoping to wash away the tears

The Better Half 02:18
lyrics
buy track
The silence is bliss As you give her a kiss Remind you of something That you'll never want to miss Her elegance and style Behold for a while The Better Half laughs The Better Half cries The Better Half knows What it's like to be alive The Better Half sees, life within our skies The Better Half has a life in paradise the sparkle in her eye could make you laugh or cry feel a beating heart As she passes by Her confidence and charm are no cause for alarm The Better Half laughs The Better Half cries The Better Half knows What it's like to be alive The Better Half sees, the life within our skies The Better Half has a life in paradise Do you believe in love, do you believe in fate do you deserve more than what's already on your plate look out for the sign that says you know I'm right.... The Better Half laughs The Better Half cries The Better Half knows What it's like to be alive The Better Half sees, the life within our skies The Better Half has a life in paradise (The better half knows right)

Say Nothing 04:21
lyrics
buy track
Open your eyes, don't say it's over remove this disguise that I'm hiding under turn round and smile, act like there's nothing wrong bruised deep inside, it won't hurt very long You cannot lie so you say nothing at all I feel like crying but I say nothing at all Look at us now, one year has passed us by were moving on, and god knows we try rain falls and I, remember that moment push it aside, no act of atonement Please explain why your saying nothing at all memory's we hide by saying nothing at all Old now and wise, passing the time recall old stories after some wine Visiting time, can't stay too long is it too late to say I was wrong Please understand why I said nothing at all I don't know why I said nothing at all

HumanKind 03:49
lyrics

Reach out and rattle all day long scream for my supper that's my song go to prison for my bed grow up in front of bars instead lacking education now find the words to speak somehow when I start to walk you'll find I am one of HumanKind I'm feeling changes inside me Don't know what I want to be think I'll worry for some time I can study in my prime find a job that pays the way save up for a rainy day spend a little I don't mind I am one of HumanKind Am I just walking to my grave this is the way that I behave Drinking till my thirst has gone I know I'm not the only one Wrinkles hide what was my face turn to dust from what was lace clean my teeth inside a glass until my time will pass All in all I've had good times not committed many crimes thinking from my insane mind was I one of HumanKind.

Falling Down 02:51
lyrics
buy track
People stop and stare, they do this unaware Looking so bemused, they must be so confused Try to crack a smile, if only for a while today its a quarter past 11, I'm on my way to heaven I pray If I open up my mind I could open up a door When I open up my mouth I'm talking to you A street light burns so bright, flickering all through the night Sleep not safe nor sound, lying down on a dirty ground Try to crack a smile, if only for a while today its a quarter past 11, I'm on my way to heaven I pray If I open up my mind I could open up a door When I open up my mouth I'm talking to you I've been wondering Why I'm feeling Life is falling down I've been searching For that something That can bring me round If I open up my mind I could open up a door When I open up my mouth I'm talking to you

Who Are You 04:05
lyrics
buy track
You take the lead for the sake of the passionate The ones who would fight for it all, But what of the people who only want happiness You take away their judgement call You murder the village, murder the family You kill for the sake of the land, Take away dictators so you can dictate to Thank you for that helping hand Who are you to break down defences Who are you to knock down those walls Who are you to ask for chances When your not the one who will fall I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine Won't t fit with political ties, Saying one thing but meaning another hiding behind all those lies You talk of the East Vs West while the North says The South have monopoly eyes, Spend till its gone but you still carry on Thank You for that big surprise Who are you to break down defences Who are you to knock down walls Who are you to ask for chances When your not the one who will fall No not for the sake of us all
