Outside

I think I smell the rain again
I see the leaves getting dewy
They're breathing
Fresh air awakens everything
While the winds are barging through
They greet you
Outside here
Like any other morning
Landing on cue
I hear the drizzle drumming down
And then I realise in all of my life
I don't think that I
Remember it being
So vivid
One two three four five six miles away
I wonder if they notice over there?
Until the light
Throws colours across the vista
Piling so high they reach out of sight
To heaven

Time Today
02:11
|

I got so much time today
I got hopes and dreams and plans all yet to be made
So get out the way
'Cos I'm coming through now
I got something to do
And I'll try
As I might
To keep up with the light
'Til I'm into bed for the night
I got so much more to say
I got books and tapes and canvas bearing the weight
But they're not arranged
'Cos it takes too long and
I'm still moving on
But I don't
Even know
Where I should be trying to go
So I guess I'll follow my nose
And I can't help but think about
If the sun ever stays down
Will I notice or will I
Just be sitting around
Ticking a list off
Rueing what I said wrong
But dawn still greets my windowpanes
And as long as I shall
Wake up in the morning
I got plans
I got so much time today
I got so much time today
I got so much time today
I got so much time

Only Acting
03:49

When I step onto the stage
See the curtain raise
I'm apparent
I've got someone to play
All the crowd are in the seats
Looking straight at me
For an answer
They just get what they see
They applaud and the usher's locking the door
'Til the matinee
So I get to know the cast
Though it doesn't last
I'm a pro but
I won't take it too far
Now I know I shouldn't get
Comfy on the set
Every time it
All comes down in the end
That's a truth that the stage school doesn't teach you
But it's good to know
It takes much more than just learning a script
You see you gotta take the part and believe it
Oh-I sometimes make up all of my lines on the spot
But I will always give what I got
I thought I was only acting
But I felt exactly like it was all for real
I sure didn't know it hurt so
But then no rehearsal could
Show you how to feel inside
What you gotta hide
Where to put your pride
When to realise you've had your time
Find another role
Carry on the show
You should be able to feel a performance
With your whole body and soul
Now I'm going to teach you everything I know
And you and you and you and you and you
Oh-I sometimes make up all of my lines on the spot
But I will always give what I got
I thought I was only acting
But I felt exactly like it was all for real
I sure didn't know it hurt so
But then no rehearsal could
Show you how to feel inside
What you gotta hide
Where to put your pride
When to realise you've had your time
Find another role
Carry on the show
I thought I was only acting
But I felt exacexacexacexacexa
What you gotta hide
How to feel inside
What you gotta hide

A flock across my window
Gone when I look around
Until the sun gets longer
They're getting out of town
Where on earth in the world
Do they go?
Do their feathers freeze stiff
In the snow?
How should I know?
But I can bet you they'll come
Back to the same old tree
Since I was crawling they've been
Watching over me
In the gardens
That ripple in the water
Climbing higher up
Where nobody sees
Look at the sky and spot the green
And I heard that they weren't
Meant to stay
Anywhere the air chokes
Or they get
On the flyway
So ride the rising currents
I trust that I will see you again
When I pick up the courage
I hope that I can join you someday

Dump

Show the man a pass and
Everything you've got
Go to where he points and
Throw it all on top
Hear the crunching beneath of junk let go
A parrot cage and dial phones
Blue for small electrics
Microwaves in here
Television pieces
In a rusty skip
But be careful if you brought chemicals
They've got a place especially for those
And there's always a busy crowd around
People come from all over town (over town)
Dropping off the things that they no longer need to keep
Everybody's collage
Stacking up the wall
When the sun is out the
Scent gets pretty tall
But the site operators don't care much
They're looking forward to their lunch
And when we fill it up
A lorry comes and drags it on the tarmac
Somewhere far from here
So when they let us in
At six a.m.
The spaces are empty again
And there's always a busy crowd around
People come from all over town (over town)
Dropping off the things that they no longer need to keep

I set a watch
For five o' clock
I think of trees and rivers
As I'm drifting off
I pinch my wrist
(Just to tell where I am)
I get a twinge
(Seems as real as it can)
But I remain and so I know
The rest is up to me
At night
The sunlight beats upon my skin
In here I see everything
And until the morning comes
I feel it
All my life I tried
To find the time to make believe
But now as certain as the seasons
I know real life will get in between
If I never get
To decide my reality
At least I see how it could be
When I get round to sleeping (sleeping)
Dreaming (dreaming)
Works for me
And though my soul
(Lets me do what I want)
Is pretty bold
(In a place I belong)
From time to time my grip'll slip
And I just lose control
Then awake I freeze
But nothing in my head can hurt me
However real it seems
All my life I tried
To find the time to make believe
But now as certain as the seasons
I know real life will get in between
If I never get
To decide my reality
At least I see how it could be
When I get round to sleeping (sleeping)
Dreaming (dreaming)
Get round to sleeping (sleeping)
Dreaming (dreaming)
Oh

Dear Future Self
02:46

Dear future self it's me again
The girl you buried way back when
I see you gave in to curiosity
My life right now is going well
I've time to spare as one can tell
But you might just sense some trepidation too
No-one knows where they really want to go
Why we always stay inside and now it snows
But I bet you miss it all so
Do cars ever fly?
Have you travelled time?
Or is it just the same old thing for you and I?
I used to be fine because you
Always seemed so far away
But now I feel our paths getting closer each day
You'll find enclosed a passport photograph
The headlines and a railcard
It's funny how physical us humans are
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
But I heard all the years'll leave you hurt
Everyone you love disappears and nothing works
Please don't say you hate the world
I hope that I won't
Do cars ever fly?
Have you travelled time?
Or is it just the same old thing for you and I?
I used to be fine because you
Always seemed so far away
But now I feel our paths getting closer each day
It's rather strange

Hi it's me how are you is the food OK?
Did you order the usual or something else?
I remember you said you were after yoghurt so
I bought two
Let's draw the curtains back to bring in the light
Press the button so that you're sitting right
All the people that I spoke to said
They think you're doing great
Back home they're all asking
They wanna come and see you real soon
We're all really missing you
But please
Take the time you need
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I've been thinking about you coming home
I was asking them when but they don't know
We can order a taxi on the day
All the way
Is that the time I should let you go to bed
Brush your teeth take it easy get some rest
I'll be back here again tomorrow morning
I'll see you then night night

If I'd Known
02:43
|
|||

Looking back I ponder all the possibilities
That I had sat right in front of me
Every one an optional decision giving birth
To a dedicated universe
Only if I'd known long ago
That a choice will grow
Into another road
But I heard that every single version of events
Will occur whatever we expect
And as such I really needn't worry very much
'Cos I feel all worlds at once
Only if I'd known long ago
Space is ours to roam
If you can find your own
Reality proves me
It goes pretty smoothly
But I haven't found the meaning
Quite yet
Only if I'd known long ago
That a choice will grow
Into another road
Only if I'd known long ago
Space is ours to roam
If you can find your own
Who tore the sky? Who copied me?
Water going back on itself up to the sea
Is that a whole world talking
From just behind a ceiling?
Watch me get my two time lines
Not going through the door all alone
I'll leave something on the side
So you know I said hello

Sometimes

Sometimes life gets you down
But you can turn it all around
The raindrops keep falling
You're soaking to the bone
And you can't see for the clouds
Sometimes life isn't fair
But you can beat it don't despair
You win some you lose some
And then you lose some more
You even played your best
But just round the corner
The sun's looking dapper
And lady luck's his date
The happy days are coming again
Sometimes life is a drag
But get that chin up don't be sad
'Cos somebody up there
Is looking out for you
And now they're making plans
But just round the corner
Well the real truth of it's that
Nobody really knows
Life sure doesn't make sense
But on your boots you can bet
That everybody gets the blues
Sometimes

Swimming
03:19

I was treading on the beach
Summer underneath my feet
Somewhere I'd never seen
Mama led me by the hand
'Til the grit stuck with the damp
And the foam fizzed adrift
When we both strode in
I could feel the detritus lifting
And I moved like I knew that I was free again
Then before thinking I ventured out
Swimming
Across the sea
The current battles way down below me
Drifting
But holding on
I keep my head up to watch the shore
After many years had passed
Hoping I would find the path
I arrived at the start
In the shadow of a cliff
Memories floating in the wind
I squared up to the tide
On my own this time
I could feel the detritus lifting
While a teardrop tickled as it ran away
But it got lost in the wash I tossed
Swimming
Across the sea
I get the feeling
I always have been
Swimming
Across the sea
The current battles way down below me
Drifting
But holding on
I keep my head up to watch the shore
Swimming
Swimming

Rest Stop

Over the sunset
At the edge of the atlas
I'm driving alone
When I see in the distance
A light in the dark
And when I approach it
A note on the glass
We're serving
Inside it's quiet
But the tables are shining
In blue chrome and white
With a fan on above but
No service in sight
I pick out a booth
Sliding in from the side
And then I start feeling quite tired
So I know
That I'll be here a little while
When I go
I'll get right back on the road
Let everybody come together
The world at peace as one
We could live a dream forever
It's really up to us
And if you're not sure how to start
Then open up your heart
Let the feeling grow
And soon you're sure to know
Light up light up
The whole night sky with all your love
Just say the prayer
We'll make it there
If we work hard enough
Keep on keep on
And give it everything you've got
'Cos only then
We'll reach the end
The land where we belong
So when we walk among the clouds
Hold your neighbour close
As the trumpets echo round
You don't wanna be a
