This Is Not The End

I know you feel bitter
I know you feel ashamed
I know you feel broken
I know you feel blamed
I know you feel compromised
I know you feel stoic
I know you feel sorry
But you’re too proud to show it
But boy this is not the end
This is only the beginning
I know you feel empty
I know you feel proud
I know you feel worthless
I know you feel cowed
I know you feel an aching
Deep down in your heart
I know you feel everything
Is slowly falling apart
But boy this is not the end
This is only the beginning
I know you feel haunted
I know you feel mad
I know you feel reckless
I know you feel damned
I know you feel insecure
I know you feel branded
I know you feel something
But you can't understand it
But boy this is not the end
This is only the beginning
(Let me tell you 'bout the future...)
Some dreams they happen
Some dreams they don't
Some days you'll be happy
Some days you won't
You're gonna have family
They're gonna fill you with you love
Not gonna get everything
But you're gonna get enough
And boy this is not the end
This is only the beginning
Everybody falls
Everybody falls
Everybody falls
It's how you come back

Judy

Judy wakes up
Sips from a cup of coffee
Runs for the bus
Same way she has forever
And if you don’t get too excited
Well, you won’t be sorry
Judy is bored
Largely ignored by colleagues
Chews on a pen
Turns back again to the spreadsheet
And if you don’t have dreams to start with
Well, they can’t get broken
And ah, they can’t get broken
Judy has friends
Katie and Ben and Emily
Known them for years
Drank cheap wine and beer in their company
But she don’t see much of them these days
They’ve all got families
And ah, they’ve all got families
Judy, if wanna live the way you wanna
Who am I to judge you
You don’t have to be like you get told to be like
Don’t need someone to love you
Judy comes home
Has dinner alone in her bedroom
Washes her plate
Stays up til late with the TV
And when she turns the lights off
Well, she won't be sorry
Ah, she won't be sorry
Ah, she won't be sorry

The Arsonists
03:30

You strike a match
And I'll toss it in
We'll watch together
As the fire begins
It's a kind of addiction
We both know is a sin
But who cares
Stand in the moonlight
Watching the flames
The innocent victims
With unmemorable names
And sooner or later
We'll do it again
So who cares
There goes our love again
There goes our love again
Your friends think I'm crazy
I'm poison for you
I'm weak and I'm lazy
Hell, most of it's true
But deep down they know
That you're built like that too
So who cares
When we're together
The flames never cease
We’re both like a jigsaw
With one missing piece
I guess maybe someone
Should call the police
But who cares
There goes our love again
There goes our love again
Oh, I know it’s crazy
But I love to watch it burn
So let’s burn it down again
There goes our love again
There goes our love again
There goes our love again

Sister
04:11
|

|
There are times
When I forget myself
And all the trouble in this world
Then I feel guilty
For feeling happy
I know it sounds absurd
But when I think of you
Things you’ve been going through
All I really want to say is
Sister, oh my sister
You are strong
Stronger than I'll ever know
You’ve been dealt
Your share of hardship
Oh, but in the face of yours
You walked for miles
Across the desert
Now you're running many more
So when I think of you
And every sister too
All I really want to say is
Sister, oh my sister
You are strong
Stronger than I'll ever know
Sister, oh my sister
You are strong
Stronger than I'll ever know
Oh sister
If the truth be told
I don't know what the future holds
But, it's like we've learned to say
Don't do tomorrow
What can be done today
Sister, oh my sister
You are strong
Stronger than I'll ever know
Sister, oh my sister
You are strong
Stronger than I'll ever know
Stronger, stronger
(Stronger than you'll ever know)

Daniel, you could get away with anything
Cos the world seems so much brighter when you’re smiling
Daniel, when did you get so big?
You're running round the garden with those older kids
And you’ll always be my baby
But it’s crazy how you grow
Daniel we were young
But now we’re getting old
Daniel, seems like no time at all
Since I held you to my body in the hospital
Daniel, I never want to let you go
But I know I'm going to have to, it's inevitable
And I'm watching all the changes
They're amazing to behold
Daniel we were young
But now we’re getting old
I took a picture, put it in a book
Maybe in fifteen years you're gonna take a look
And then in fifteen more you’re gonna look again
Remember just how much I loved you, my friend
Daniel, you could get away with anything
Cos the world seems so much brighter when you’re smiling
Daniel, I never want to let you go
But I know I'm going to have to, it's inevitable
And you’ll always be my baby
But it’s crazy how you grow
Daniel we were young
But now we’re getting old
Daniel we were young
But now we’re getting old
Daniel we were young
But now we’re getting old

Voices On The Radio

Cool kids on the promenade
Know they're going nowhere fast
I make a note on a postcard
Says, "I'm leaving but I won't get far"
In a field by the fairground
I just came to take a look around
There’s a song in the background
The singer makes a sound like
Hold me baby, hold me baby
Hold til I'm a little bit stronger
Hold me baby, hold me baby
Hold me just a little bit longer
Maybe we’re all just skin and bones
Hearing voices on the radio
Maybe we’re all just skimming stones
While our dreams sink into the foam
Maybe we're all just waiting
Don't know what for, but waiting
Maybe we’re all just skin and bones
With these voices on the radio
See the thing about this ghost town
Is you're always on the way down
So when the kids hear a new sound
They'll all be going round like
Hold me baby, hold me baby
Hold til I'm a little bit stronger
Hold me baby, hold me baby
Hold me just a little bit longer
Maybe we’re all just skin and bones
Hearing voices on the radio
Maybe we’re all just skimming stones
While our dreams sink into the foam
Maybe we're all just waiting
Don't know what for, but waiting
Maybe we’re all just skin and bones
With these voices on the radio
You can lose yourself for hours and hours
Doesn’t matter when it’s ours, all ours
Yeah, but when the sun goes down
You're still stuck in this old town
So maybe I’ll stick around after all
Hearing voices on the radio
Hearing voices on the radio
(Hold me baby...)
Maybe we’re all just skin and bones
Hearing voices on the radio
Maybe we’re all just skimming stones
While our dreams sink into the foam
Maybe we're all just waiting
Don't know what for, but waiting
Maybe we’re all just skin and bones
With these voices on the radio

Never had a love like this before
Never had something worth living for
Mind and body in a civil war
And I never had a love like this before
You barrelled into my life like a wrecking ball
The moment I saw you, well I started to fall
Now everything I had before is suddenly a broken mess
You stand there smiling like it's all a success
And oh, you ain't sorry
And I never had a love like this before
Never had something worth living for
Mind and body in a civil war
And I never had a love like this before
I tell you my secrets, you tell me your lies
It always fools me, I never know why
I'm a fly in a spider's web, I'm a moth drawn to a flame
My wings are burning and I'm falling again
'Cos oh, you ain't sorry
And I never had a love like this before
Never had something worth living for
Mind and body in a civil war
And I never had a love like this before
Now I'm stumbling in the dark
I'm never coming back
Everywhere I turn
I just can't escape the fact that
I never had a love like this before
Never had something worth living for
Mind and body in a civil war
And I never had a love like this before
I never had a love like this before
Never had something worth living for
Mind and body in a civil war
And I never had a love like this before

Love Is...
04:32
|
|||
|
Love is the answer to the question of why we carry on
Love is an expression of an instinct to belong
Love is the only thing that keeps us weak or makes us strong
Love is the reason for this song
Love is the moment when you really understand
Love is the universe, love is written in the sand
Love is the only thing that’s ever worth a damn
Love is not judgement or demand
Love is me
Love is you
Love is the acceptance of the routine and mundane
Love is the knowledge that life will never be the same
Love is the only thing left standing in the hurricane
Love is just being here with you again
I said, love is just being here with you again

Little Bird

Oh little bird standing on the edge
Of your nest, will you fledge
Are you ready for it yet?
Oh little bird do your feathers feel the breeze
In the leaves of the trees
Will you spread your wings and see?
Oh, little bird...
Oh little bird getting stronger ever day
It's okay, fly away
You were never bound to stay
Oh little bird, there’s a future yet to write
Taking flight out of sight
In the hazy morning light
Oh little bird...
Oh little bird, wherever you may go
You must know, though you roam
This will always be your home
Though you roam
This will always be your home

The Answer
03:43
|

|
Catch a star and make it shine
All along the borderline
I would walk a thousand miles for you
But time rolls on and on
Staring at the setting sun
Wish the evening hadn’t come
I would wait a thousand nights for you
But time rolls on and on and on
I thought that we were searching for the answer
When maybe there’s no answer to find
We only ever wanted to be dancers
When maybe we were dancing all the time
Blackbird singing in the tree
Pure as any song could be
Wish that I could trace it back to you
But time rolls on and on and on
Falling apart
A weight in my heart
As heavy as the sea
I thought that we were searching for the answer
When maybe there’s no answer to find
We only ever wanted to be dancers
When maybe we were dancing all the time

Whole White Moon
03:14
|
|||
|
Love, love is not the answer, child
There was a time perhaps I thought it was
When I gave you my heart
(He gave you his heart)
But a heart could never hope to fill the void
And there are things a loving heart simply can’t provide
If I could, I would give you
The whole white moon
But I can’t, and that’s what breaks my heart
Time is a cruel, cruel master
And innocence exists to be lost
I wish I could give you some answers
But they come at a cost
Faith, faith should be unshakeable
There was a time perhaps I thought it was
When you fell from my arms
(You fell from his arms)
And I could not defend you, though I tried
Now I see a sadness linger in your eyes
If I could, I would give you
The whole white moon
But I can’t, and that’s what breaks my heart
No I can’t, and that’s what breaks my heart
