Unbeliever (A love song for a cynic) 03:08
lyrics
buy track
I don’t believe in your gods, aint no need for your teachers I have no time for your faith, hope or your charity Lost my trust in my heroes got no feel for our leaders And I ain’t got the time for your worldwide conspiracy But, Once I wrote a love song said I Couldn’t live without her and Waking up each morning right beside her Then I took another look At the words I’d written in the book And realised that I could live but I wouldn’t want to try I don’t believe in your art I don’t believe in this music Painters and Poets pretending that they know it all Posing the questions and acting like they have the answers When there’s nothing out there and nothing is writ on the wall But, Once I wrote a love song said I Couldn’t live without her and Waking up each morning right beside her Then I took another look At the words I’d written in the book And realised that I could live but I wouldn’t want to try This songs no different, you won’t find no answers here Don’t ask for a meaning, I don’t know, And I don’t care Don’t believe, Don’t believe, Don’t believe, I don’t believe In anything but you

A Stitch in Time 02:42
lyrics
buy track
If I knew today what I knew back then In a stitch in time we'd be more than friends As the evening rays streamed through your hair Would I be so bold, could I dream to dare? Won't be the first to think we could, break all the rules Won't be the last romantic fools We could discuss morals, talk about right or wrong Or I could just write it down in a song And then the rain comes And then the rain comes And I’m left standing all alone, in a hole in a far, far, far, far, a far off foreign land When we wake next morn we’ll be far away And we’ll both pretend we never had that day Look into my eyes, I’ll know that it’s still there As you don your shades I know that you still care But as the world moves on and the days turn into years I’ll pretend I never had those fears Better let it fade out than explode with what might have beens Was it ever more than a dream? But when the rain comes Yes, when the rain comes I find I’m stuck right back here, it’s like no time has gone, no time has gone at all If I knew today what I knew back then…

Fondly remembered trains 03:49
lyrics
buy track
If I’d stayed on the train, remembered a name The whole of my life could have been different Which isn’t to say, I’m not not content today Have you seen my world, it’s magnificent In the blink of an eye or the roll of the di The whole of one’s life can spin from its axis Another day dawns and a new path is born Just singing it now well it seems like a madness On and on I’m thinking Deeper down I’m sinking Still don’t have an inkling How can we ever be free? If we’d stolen that train, our lives down the drain Still keeps me awake just thinking about it Even today, many years away Still worrying ‘bout of things that never did happen On and on I’m thinking Deeper down I’m sinking Still don’t have an inkling How can we ever be free? The world turns, the world burns We don’t seem to be learning There’s one more chance, so, shall we dance? These steps that it seems that we’re doomed to follow For ever and ever and On and on I’m sinking Deeper down I’m thinking Still don’t have an inkling How can we ever be free?

Extraterrestrial 03:17
lyrics
buy track
I like to get a little extra-terrestrial these days Head on shoulders aint the only way I like to fly above the crowds Get away from the gathering clouds I like to get a little extra-terrestrial these days Seemed like I was only gone for a minute But you tell me, you’d been waiting all day It was so nice to get away So very nice, I nearly stayed I like to get a little extra-terrestrial these days These days won’t be remembered as filled with wine and roses But I will remember these days I suppose Caught inside the quantum tick of a moment I found myself sitting outside time No thoughts of simple fight or flight No up or down nor left or right I see the dark but I feel the light I need to get a little extra-terrestrial these days Spend all my time extra-terrestrial these days Head on shoulders aint the only way Flying high above the clouds Far away from the gathering crowds I need to get a little extra-terrestrial these days

Lost at Sea 03:15
lyrics
buy track
We left home on a Monday and now it’s Tuesday afternoon You say, we should be seeing landing by now But I feel it’s far too soon The crew have all deserted but how hard can it be To navigate by the stars when I’ve got a BSc I’ve got a chronograph (It’s a watch) Got my Almanac (That you dropped) Got my astrolabe (Wrong way up) All lost at sea Me and you on a boat we two, a drifting all day long At the very least we’ll have the chance to sing our boating song This can’t be America, we’ve not been at sea that long We should be passing the Isle of Skye so where did we go wrong? Turned right in the Solent, is the Cape Good Hope? Aint that in the southern hemisphere, hand me that telescope Is that an Albatross (Just a gull) Is that the Southern Cross (Just the Plough) Which way, well I don’t know (Cos you’re lost) All lost at sea Me and you on a boat we two, what could go wrong At the very least we’ll have the chance to sing our boating song Hang on, is that an Iceberg? This aint an icebreaking ship Yes, a flippin’ iceberg and I’ve seen Titanic! Me and you on a boat we two, what could go wrong At the very least we’ll have the chance to sing our boating song Me and you on a boat we two, drifting all day long At the very least we’ll have the chance to sing our boating song

The Space That's In Between 03:46
lyrics
buy track
Walking in the rain, crying in the chapel Some kind of crazy, I don't even believe Guess deep inside we knew that this would happen They all leave the nest and long to be free What am I supposed to do? Now that I'm alone with you To fill the space that's in between? What was it we saw when we first started? What have we lost since we began? Was it just for lust, oh was it all so simple? Were you playing Jane to my Tarzan? What am I supposed to do Now that I'm alone with you To fill the space that's in between? The sun's long set and the TV's fading I hit the lights and stare at the wall My coffee's cold but maybe tomorrow There'll be some light shining down this hole What am I supposed to do Now that I'm alone with you To fill the spaces in between?

Goodnight Mary Ellen 04:23
lyrics
buy track
If only I could wake I would remind you Of all the stupid things you’ve said you’d do For one more night of talk and love and passion Well it ain’t going to happen so you know what you must do Say goodnight, Marry Ellen, it’s goodbye, you know that it’s true Give my love to the children then let me go, like you said you would do You are not she, I fell in love with I see you changing, day by day by day I ain’t the saint, you paint I never was dear Let it lie, oh let it be, let it be You tell me you dropped in a church on Sunday You’ll pray for as long as it takes Oh why don’t you listen to what they’ve been saying Mary Ellen there’s no need to wait Don’t bring in the children to show them their daddy Their daddy, ain’t here anymore Just leave them the memory of when he was with them Pull the plug as you leave by the door And if you play that stupid song again I’ll scream If only I could Say goodnight, Marry Ellen, It’s goodbye, you know that it’s true Give my love to the children then let me go, like you said you would do Everything I ever was ain’t lost, dear It’s safe within the memories in your head Hold them tight but let me go I loved you Let me go, like you said you would do Just say goodnight
