Sorry song
03:01
|
|||
Night out with my friends
I'm trying to pretend
That losing you don't matter much to me
I'm trying not to think
So I'll have another drink
And try and celebrate that I'm free
But still the evening ends too soon
And then I'm back in my bedroom
And all I do is think of you
And wish that I was not alone
Maybe I'll call you on the phone
It's ringing so I'll wait
And hope I'm not too late
And that you'll forgive what I have done
I know that I was wrong
So I've written you this song
To let you know that you are still the one
I'm sorry that I let you down
By running all around the town
And hope that I can win you round
I swear that what I say is true
I've never stopped loving you
This is my sorry song
This is my sorry song
And so I'm left alone
Cos you won't pick up the phone
I've left a hundred voicemails anyway
If you give me a call I could explain it all
To prove that I never went astry
I know the pictures that you've seen
On TV and in magazines
Make it look as through I've been
A cheat but I swear it's not true
The only one for me is you
This is my sorry song
This is my sorry song
GUITAR
This is my sorry song
This is my sorry song
This is my sorry song
This is my sorry song
etc

Suzy Scarlett

When she was a little girl
Suzy loved her rural world
But as she grew the quiet nights
Made her dream of brighter lights
Suzy wanted something more
Packed her bag, creeped out the door
Bought a ticket caught a train
Never to return again
Long way from home
Suzy Scarlett
Never alone
Suzy Scarlett
Towering buildings lots of cars
Crowded pavements noisy bars
A line of shops that never ends
A pretty face will soon make friends
Long way from home
Suzy Scarlett
Never alone
Suzy Scarlett
It's all very well being pretty
But you need money in the city
She needs a job and can't be choosy
Waitressing will suit our Suzy
She finds some friends to share a flat
And though she's poor it's obvious that
Far from her rural world
Suzy is a city girl
Long way from home
Suzy Scarlett
Never alone
Suzy Scarlett
Full of passion
Suzy Scarlett
Height of fashion
Suzy Scarlett
Creative and arty
Suzy Scarlett
Loves to party
Suzy Scarlett
Long way from home
Suzy Scarlett
Never alone
Suzy Scarlett

I’m going back to Nowhereville
To see if my friends live there still I’ll try
I’m going back to Nowhereville
I can’t stay I’ve had my fill of lies
Birds singing til the sun goes down
Childrens laughter ringing all around
People stop and say hello
To Nowhereville I’ve got to go
I’m going back to Nowhereville
To see if my friends live there still I’ll try
I’m going back to Nowhereville
I can’t stay I’ve had my fill of lies
Nowhereville where dreams come true
Cos Nowhereville’s where I met you
The outside world’s no more to show
To Nowhereville I’m coming home
I’m coming back to Nowhereville x4
I’ll see if my love lives there still
CHORUS to fade

Girlfriend in a German car, heaven only knows how far
I'd go to get away from you
Wonder if you'll ever learn to indicate the way you want to turn
Before you do
You were a normal girl but now I don't know who you are
You were a normal girl before you bought yourself a German car
Girlfriend in a German car, heaven only knows how far
I'd go to get away from you
Wonder if you'll ever see the traffic lights are red as well as green
As you once knew
We used to have such fun we travelled near far
But now those days are gon because you bought yourself a German car
Girlfriend in a German car
Girlfriend in a German car
Girlfriend in a German car
You're just a girlfriend in a German car
Girlfriend in a German car, heaven only knows how far
I'd go to get away from you
Wonder if you'll ever know the time has come when one of you has got to go
I know you do
I thought our love would last
But you chose another path
But now you drive too fast
Since you bought yourself a german car
Girlfriend in a German car, heaven only knows how far
I'd go to get away from you
Girlfriend in a German car, heaven only knows how far
I'd go to get away from you

Billy leaves his little house
Quiet as a sleeping mouse
Gets in his car and slams the door
Starts the engine with a roar
Billy Jones' yellow taxi
Mustard coloured Austin Maxi
Drives so fast, wants to get past
So close behind he’s up your jacksie
Off to the other side of town
Picking up and setting down
Sun comes out his shades look cool
As he drops the kids off at the school
Billy Jones’ yellow taxi
Mustard coloured Austin Maxi
Drives so fast, wants to get past
So close behind he’s up your jacksie
Everyone knows Billy
He’s a familiar sight
Racing around the little town
Ignoring the red traffic light
Driving fast in his taxi
He’s so close he’s up your jacksie
No job too big, no job too small
Billy will do them all
Taking folk with early starts
Carrying people and spare parts
Delivering milk down to the beach
Places where the float can't reach
With several parcels stashed onboard
Delivering them for Marshall Ward
Billy Jones’ yellow taxi
Mustard coloured Austin Maxi
Drives so fast, wants to get past
So close behind he’s up your jacksie
Round and round Billy drives
Before too long lunchtime arrives
For most the day stretches ahead
But for Billy it's time for bed
Billy's got a yellow taxi
Mustard coloured Austin Maxi
Drives so fast, wants to get past
So close behind he’s up your jacksie
Billy Jones he drives his taxi
A big old yellow Austin Maxi
Drives so fast, wants to get past
So close behind he’s up your jacksie

The pleasure of the pain
03:42
|
|||
Lay me on your clean white sheets
Cover me with chains
Let me be your sacrifice again
Raise your arms above your head
Let me see the blade
Let me feel the pleasure of the pain
Dressed in leather head to toe
Mistress please don’t let me go
Whip me hard so I will know
The pleasure of the pain
Tie me with the straps and ropes
Put me on a lead
Give me all the feelings that I need
Burn me with your cigarette
Put me cross your knee
And beat me with a stick until I bleed
Dressed in leather head to toe
Mistress please don’t let me go
Whip me hard so I will know
That I will always see
Your pleasure in my pain x4
Lay me on your clean white sheets
Cover me with chains
Let me be your sacrifice again
Raise your arms above your head
Let me see the blade
Let me feel the pleasure of the pain
Dressed in leather head to toe
Mistress please don’t let me go
Whip me hard so I will know
The pleasure of the pain
Whip me hard so I will feel the pleasure of the pain

Laura's eyes
03:08
|

Verse 1
As the crowd dissolved, in my own mind
She turned her head and looked beyond me
If I approached her, what would I find
She seems to have a special quality
Chorus
Look into her eyes
Look into her eyes
Looking into Laura’s eyes
Verse 2
We’re in the same space, at the same time
She looks in my direction, what does she see
Her world is hers and mine is mine
Does she view the world like you and me
Chorus
Look into her eyes
Look into her eyes
Looking into Laura’s eyes
Middle 8
Verse 3
There’s a connection, between us though unspoken
If she only knew would it come as a surprise
To hear that something has been awoken
By what I’ve seen deep behind those eyes
Chorus x 3
Look beyond her eyes
At the soul trapped deep inside
Could I really hold the key
Could we be together
Could I be her guide
Could I really set her free
Look into her eyes
Look into her eyes
Looking into Laura’s eyes

Every day I see you
Sitting in the corner of the coffe shop
I want to get to know you
Your friends are there and just won't stop
Taking your attention
There's not a chance that you'll see me
Then as you're leaving
I get a little smile but that's all there'll be
Maybe, if I got to know you
Then, maybe I'd be able to show you
That maybe we've got lots in common
So maybe I'll see you tomorrow and..
We could see a movie
There's a science fiction film I'd like to see
Or if you're into music
There's a cool band playing down the street
Strangely I went to the comic store
Saw you, walking up to the door
You gave me a look I'd not seen before
Which gave me hope that there would be more
I wanted to ask you out
But I was far too shy
Then you walked up to me
And much to my surprise......
You kissed me
You kissed me
We're gonna to see a movie
There's a science fiction film we want to see
And as we're into music
There's a cool band playing down the street
Lately I've got to know you and
Lately I'm able to show you
That strangely we've got lots in common so
Baby I'll see you tomorrow
Lately I've got to know you and
Lately I'm able to show you
That strangely we've got lots in common so
Baby I'll see you tomorrow

Cruising round the city streets
In my pocket mean machine
Saturday night it’s time for fun
Eyeball
Collecting mates along the way
Talked so much but more to say
Waiting for the dying sun
Eyeball
We know where we will go
To see the voices from my radio
Heading for the rendezvous
From the city through the lanes
Away from lights into the dark
Eyeball
Up the mountain driving hard
Signposts for the Travellers Rest
Handbrake turn, a place to park
Eyeball
We know where we will go
To see the voices from my radio
Guitar
We come here every week
To meet the people in our radio
Getting in a round of drinks
Snakebites and a lager top
Take them outside to the car
Eyeball
Facing across the estuary
Talking to a foreign land
Sending signals near and far
Eyeball
Another drink another smoke
More pork scratchings, crisps and nuts
Open the door to take a leek
Eyeball
Last orders shouted from the pub
Time to leave our mountain perch
We’ll be back again next week
Eyeball
We come here every week
To meet the people in our radio
We know where we will go
To see the voices from my radio

I've got the blues
03:20
|
|||
I’ve got the blues
Never thought that I would lose
Your love and that I’d have to choose
A life of pain
And so all that now remains
Are memories from another day
But I’ll pretend to be strong
And live life without you
With your friends I’ll play along
So no one knows that I’ve got the blues
I’ve got the blues
Don’t know what I’m gonna do
I can’t see a better view
I’m not so tough
Can’t take this pain I’ve had enough
Of living with this crazy love
So I’ll wear my brightest smile
And wipe the tears away
But I know that all the while
In my heart you’ll stay I’ve got the blues
Got to turn around my life
And get you outta my head
I think about you all the time
Alone here in my bed
I’ve got the blues
I know that I was mean to you
But I swear my love is true
Oh can’t you see
The pain you’ve caused by leaving me
So this is how it’s gonna be
I will try to win you back
I’ll take all the blame
I’ll give you all things you lack
And show you that I’ve changed
There’s no chance of fighting back
You are gonna lose
But all of this is fantasy
That is why, why I’ve got the blues

Machines

Alive...Coming alive
Alive...Coming alive
Alive...Coming alive
Danger ahead to the future I've been
Danger ahead with my eyes I have seen
Machines...they're coming alive
Danger ahead if we carry on like this
(There's) danger ahead from every machine
Machines...they're coming alive
Armies of machines with their flags unfurled
Rising up and taking control of the world
Machines...
Triggering this mutiny was how we behaved
These newly sentient beings want their planet to be saved
Machines...
We thought we were clever with our new designs
We should have noticed the warning signs
Machines...they're coming alive
Giving them more power and making them faster
And so the slave became the master
Machines...they're coming alive
Armies of machines with their flags unfurled
Rising up and taking control of the world
Machines...
Triggering this mutiny was how we behaved
These newly sentient beings want their planet to be saved
Machines...
Danger ahead to the future I've been
Danger ahead with my eyes I have seen
Machines...they're coming alive
Danger ahead if we carry on like this
(There's) danger ahead from every machine
Alive...Coming alive
Alive...Coming alive
Alive...Coming alive

Need to be loved
03:42
|
|||
You wake in the morning you yawn and you reach for your phone
It's still early you check if your friends list has grown
In the night and if your posts were liked by the strangers that you call your friends you pretend that it's
Real cos you feel so alone and you need to be loved (need to be loved) it's not
Real but you feel so alone and you need to be loved (need to be loved)
You put on your makeup and line up the selfie you'll take
You'll sellect the right filters so there's no mistake
In the image you show to the world when you share and then wait for responses and likes cos you
Care what they think about you cos you need to be loved (need to be loved) it's not
Real but you feel so alone and you need to be loved (need to be loved)
So just be yourself don't let anyone else dictate how you live
Don't be so vain, just use your brain, you've so much to give
You put on the clothes that the influencers said were in style
And pose in thy mirror to improve your smile
Cos you can't let your followers see that inside you are scared and just want to hide from the
World cos you're curled up in fear and need to be loved (need to be loved) it's not
Real but you feel so alone and you need to be loved (need to be loved)
So just be yourself don't let anyone else dictate how you live
Don't be so vain, just use your brain, you've so much to give
Just open your eyes and look at the world past your door
Put your phone in your pocket you'll see much more
Than the life that has been on your screen, there's real people, whose lives aren't pretend with real friends and they
Feel so much happier being with people they love (we all need to be loved)
Feel so much happier being with people they love (we all need to be loved)
Feel so much happier being with people they love (we all need to be loved)
Feel so much happier being with people they love (we all need to be loved)
Feel so much happier being with people they love (we all need to be loved)
Feel so much happier being with people they love (we all need to be loved)
Feel so much happier being with people they love (we all need to be loved)

Vodka for breakfast
02:28
|
|||
When I was young
Life stretched ahead
And everything was in reach
What of my future
What did I learn
What did they fail to teach
Vodka for breakfast
Whiskey after noon
I'm scared of the darkness,
so I stare at the moon
[Now that I'm old
What have I done
I see what I have become]
The dark of my soul
The recesses of my mind
The pain that never ends
For the rest of my life
Trapped by this fear
Scared when the darkness descends
Vodka for breakfast
Whiskey after noon
I'm scared of the darkness,
so I stare at the moon
I need a focus
I need a friend
I need one soon…
so I STARE AT THE MOON…….

What you gonna do baby
What you gonna do
When the morning comes
What you gonna do baby
What you gonna do
When the morning comes
You spent all night
Running round the town
When you gonna settle down
I know you like to party ain’t gonna pretend
Your candles burning bright but it burns at both ends
I know you say you want me but it’s hard to believe
No sooner are you with me when you say it’s time to leave
You spend all night
Running round the town
When you gonna settle down
CHORUS
Since I met you baby we’ve had a lot of fun
Don’t want to spoil the party don’t let me be the one
Who has to tell you baby that you need to take it slow
You say you’re doing fine but deep inside you know
You spent all night
Running round the town
When you gonna settle down
CHORUS repeat to fade

Crying
03:31
|

You wake up crying in the middle of the night
Life is getting you down
You won’t stop trying but it’s a hell of a fight
Let’s try to share the pressure around
A problem shared is a problem no more
I’ll lend you an ear that’s what they’re for
We’ll solve it together once we know the score
We might as well give it a try
So if you feel like screaming
Just let it out
And if you feel like sharing
Let’s hear you shout
Free your emotions
So you find a way
To make it a beautiful day
You got all your worries
Going round in your head
You don’t need to do it alone
You’ve so much to do
You can’t get out of bed
Don’t live life on your own
A problem shared is a problem no more
I’ll lend you an ear that’s what they’re for
We’ll solve it together once we know the score
We might as well give it a try
So if you feel like screaming
Just let it out
And if you feel like sharing
Let’s hear you shout
Free your emotions
So you find a way
To make it a beautiful day
There’s clouds in the sky
That darken your heart
If we blow together
We’ll blow them apart
Not saying it’s easy
But we might as well start
To make it a beautiful day
So if you start crying in the middle of the night
You just have to give me a call
I’ve got a feeling that it’s gonna be right
Cos I’ll pick you up when you fall
A problem shared is a problem no more
I’ll lend you an ear that’s what they’re for
We’ll solve it together once we know the score
We might as well give it a try
So if you feel like screaming
Just let it out
And if you feel like sharing
Let’s hear you shout
Free your emotions
So you find a way
To make it a beautiful day

Dogs on wheels
03:37
|

Saturday afternoon, the radio's on
The sounds drift through the air
The same teams, I've heard it all before
The same names, the same score
Drifting over me, through me
It's all become a bit of a bore
The same voices trying to inject
some enthusiasm into their report
Round and round we go again
For this deja vue of weekly sport
Into a deep deep sleep
As I dream of something new
What can we do
What we need is
Dogs on wheels
Strap some wheels to each hound
Dogs on wheels
See them go round and round
Dogs on wheels
Strap a rocket to their back
Dogs on wheels
See them zoom around the track
Dogs on wheels
Over jumps and on the flats
Dogs on wheels
Chasing battery powered cats
Dogs on wheels
They make a whooshing sound
Dogs on wheels
Running close to the ground
A horse race is happening somewhere
But I don't really care
Another near miss at the football,
another wicket at the cricket
The sound of leather on willow
Make me yearn for my pillow
The sound of willow on leather
My mind is floating like a feather
Into a deep deep sleep
As I dream of something new
What can we do
What we need is
Dogs on wheels
Racing past at such a rate
Dogs on wheels
Oval tracks or figure of eight
Dogs on wheels
Send them out in a group
Dogs on wheels
Watch them do a loop the loop
Guitar
Dogs on wheels
There’s some bookies taking bets
Dogs on wheels
The physios are all vets
Dogs on wheels
See spectators flooding in
Dogs on wheels
Cheering on their dog to win
Dogs on wheels!

The man in the corner
02:28
|
|||
See the old man as he sits in the corner lost in the world in his head
Buy him a drink and he’ll tell you a story tales of the life he once led
He once was a boxer, a soldier a sailor
Or maybe a gangster, explorer a tailor
The story he tells talks of ruin and failure
But which one is true we don’t know
Dressed in a suit which suggests he was wealthy and once had a much better life
With the nose of a fighter a gold ring on his finger though he never mentions a wife
Scars and tattoos that all tell a story
Full of adventure dishonour or glory
He’ll speak with excitement and passion before he
Stares into space
That look on his face
That tells of a lifetime of pain
See the old man as he sits in the corner his eyes glazed and distant, he stares
The crowd’s had their fill of his drunk entertainment no one is left there who cares
He once was a boxer, a soldier a sailor
Or maybe a gangster, explorer a tailor
Tomorrow he’ll come back again to regale you once more

The riff
03:09
|
|||
Sitting in my room guitar in hand
Trying to write a song that'll suit the band
Found some basic chords with a simple little tune
A verse and a chorus that's coming soon
Put it all together guitar, bass and drums
Add some extra vocals and here they come
In a few bars the lead guitar
Is going to play a kick-ass riff
Short and sweet, nice and neat
It's gonna sound something like this
Played it to the band but they just weren't sure
Thought it was ok but it needs sothing more
They listened to the verse which they said was ok
When I sang the chorus, they just walked away
I couldn't work out wat the music lacked
But when I played the riff, they all came back
For a few bars the lead guitar
was gonna play a kick-ass riff
Short and sweet, nice and neat
It sounded something like this
So, if you're sitting in a room trying to write a song
Even if the music keeps going wrong
Don't become disheartened have another crack
Cos there's a little secret that'll help your track.
Play some lead guitar to give yourself a lift
And make sure you've got a kick-ass riff
