Rollin' Life

You like the rollin' life and it suits you well
You were born to roll as far as I can tell
It's a way of life that's yours
And it keeps them happy
It takes you everywhere never settle down
Moving all the time from town to town
Putting smiles on people's faces
To make them happy
Oh, rollin' life
Oh, rollin' life
And if they pick you up in their big black car
And they move you on you never roll too far
Find a village down the road and sing them happy
Maybe stay one night have a glass of wine
Talking round the fire and you're feeling fine
In the morning moving on and you've left them happy
Oh, rollin' life
Oh, rollin' life
And if you think it might be time to settle down
To a different kind of life just look around
Is this what you wanted?
Oh, rollin' life
Oh, rollin' life
And if you think it might be time to settle down
To a different kind of life just look around
I look at you you look at me
I'm where you wanna go you're who I wanna be
Each in our own way free
And it makes us happy
Oh, rollin' life
Oh, rollin' life
Oh, rollin' life

Awake (2am)
05:16
|
|||
|
In the middle of the night
You think you heard your name
You wake and look around
And everything's the same
Just too tired to sleep
No-one else around
What you gonna do
With all this time you found?
You're awake on the line
Between light and dark
The line that keeps
The sun and moon apart
You're awake on the line
between light and day
Without that line
The day can never start
When Things are on your mind
And sleep is far away
You try and live the hours
Before another day
Coffee or TV
Whatever gets you through
Till you cross the line
The sunrise turns to blue
You're awake on the line
Between light and dark
The line that keeps
The sun and moon apart
You're awake on the line
between light and day
Without that line
The day can never start
Sleep walkin' night stalkin'
Through a twilight world
Is it real or just a dream awake?
You look out on the world
Shadows of the night
The hours they come alive
They move and catch your eye
Feeling wide awake
Lying in your bed
Thinking of a line
The words spin in your head
You're awake on the line
Between light and dark
The line that keeps
The sun and moon apart
You're awake on the line
between light and day
Without that line
The day can never start
You're awake on the line
Between light and dark
The line that keeps
The sun and moon apart
You're awake on the line
between light and day
Without that line
The day can never start

Tired

Tired of being tired
Just can’t get rested
All the wasted time
That I have invested
Searching for a pot of gold
Gotta put my dreams on hold
Tired of being tired
Tired of being tired
Gotta work all the day
Wish I could escape
But I can’t get away
All my hopes are lost and gone
I feel that I can’t go on
Tired of being tired
Tired of losing Tired of loving
Tired of leaving Tired of being tired
Tired of being tired
Need to leave my blues behind
Gotta make a better day
Now I’ve cleared my mind
Hope I’ll find a kindly heart
Gonna make a brand new start
Tired of being tired
Tired of losing Tired of loving
Tired of leaving Tired of being tired
Tired of losing Tired of loving
Tired of leaving Tired of being tired

Country Wine
03:44
|

|
Hand me down my traveling bag
Feel the urge to move
Move to where the air is sweet
You can lose your shoes
Mother Nature’s kitchen
Right outside your door
Where we can find the answers
To what we came here for
I was born a city boy
Felt I’d seen it all
But I heard the country callin’ me
Beyond the city wall
So I left the city streets behind
To see what I could see
I heard a voice that drew me on
The country callin’ me
Growing wine in the country
Growing country wine
Leave your troubles far behind
Havin’ a real good time
Found a place with a few good friends
Moved in right away
Far from all the city noise
Started making hay
No landlord on our doorstep
A place that’s all our own
Don’t need no supermarket
Everything’s home grown
Makin’ wine in the country
Makin’ country wine
Leave your troubles far behind
Havin’ a real good time
No warning signs
Keep off the grass
No locks on the doors
Visitors are welcome
What is ours is yours
If you want to find us
You can come up anytime
Just bring yourselves and your good vibes
And a case of country wine
Drinkin’ wine in the country
Drinkin’ country wine
Leave your troubles far behind
Having a real good time
Drinkin’ wine in the country
Drinkin’ country wine
Leave your troubles far behind
Having a real good time

I Wish

Stand by the rail track your hands warm in my back
The wind cuts through and the trains rush by straight down the line
And as you say goodbye I'm trying so hard not to cry
But I tremble and the tears fall out into my mouth
I wish I could kiss you I try not to miss you
I wish I could find a way to I wish I could land
Your three lines coming in
Not saying much but then again
You never do except when I'm up close to you
I wish I could feel your touch to hear your voice
I'm not asking much
Your laugh just an echo I wish I could hear
I wish I could kiss you I try not to miss you
If only I could find a way to I wish I could land
The places the wishes are
I can't go there it's much too far
You went away without a care
It's just so unfair
You never looked back not once
Not even just a cursory glance
You left me, bereft me
Alone in my dreams
I wish I could kiss you I try not to miss you
I wish I could find a way to I wish I could land

World In A Week
03:35
|
|||
|
Monday waking with my dreamboat
Tuesday feeling like a scapegoat
Wednesday the guys come round
And we jam together and make a good sound
Thursday nearly the weekend
Friday climbing the wall with my friend
No free climbing the wall so high
'Cos when he lets me go I feel like I can fly
It's my world in a week
Just a simple world in a week
Oh it's my world in a week
Just a simple world in a week
Monday laundry and the dishes
Tuesday catching up with him who misses
Wednesday it's family time
And they stand waiting ever so patiently in line
Thursday maybe have a quick drink
Friday dishes piled up so high in the sink
Saturday and Sunday come
And we're no longer looking for someone to drum
It's my world in a week
Just a simple world in a week
Oh it's my world in a week
Just a simple world in a week
Monday gotta go to work now
Tuesday smooth the furrows from my hot brow
Wednesday we're half-way through
And by lunchtime I find that I'm feeling less blue
Thursday cross the bridge to see my loved mum
Friday cross the week off that's another done
Time flies so fast that it makes me freak
When it's so easy to fit your world into a week
It's my world in a week
Just a simple world in a week
Oh it's my world in a week
Just a simple world in a week

Blue Sky Day
04:27
|
|||
|
Walking through darkened clouds
The sweat of fear breakin' on my brow
Brand new shiny shoes smart new suit in blue
Nerves fully wired as walk through the door
Off the office block just above the shop
Where money changes hands
Where once I stopped
It's a blue sky day
It's a new sky day
Every day's a blue sky day
When you feel the way I do today
It's a blue sky day
It's a new sky day
Every day's a blue sky day
When you feel the way I do today
Putting my best smile on
Hoping that this is the one
That lets me leave the room with a skip in my step
As I cut through the park and under the trees
And there's a bird up there looking for his song
How can it be in life sometimes that things just go so wrong
When it's a blue sky day
It's a new sky day
Every day's a blue sky day
When you feel the way I do today
It's a blue sky day
It's a new sky day
Every day's a blue sky day
When you feel the way I do today
And there's a bird up there looking for his song
How can it be in life sometimes that things just go so wrong
It's a blue sky day
It's a new sky day
Every day's a blue sky day
When you feel the way I do today
It's a blue sky day
It's a new sky day
Every day's a blue sky day
When you feel the way I do today
Blue skies go on and on (repeat)

Flying Tonight
03:43

Flying tonight, flying tonight
Flying tonight, flying tonight
Flying tonight without leaving the ground
We got a technicolour engine don't make no sound
Thirty seven thousand feet high on love
Green grass beneath us blue sky above
Wake every morning to the sound of the birds
It's a magical chorus and there ain't no words
Their singing it out and I'm singing it too
Words can't describe my love for you
Flying tonight, flying tonight
Flying tonight, flying tonight
Solo
Flying tonight, flying tonight
Flying tonight, flying tonight
Flying tonight feeling alright
From the bottom of the ocean to the highest height
The power of love takes you round the world
Flying tonight with a beautiful girl
Flying tonight, flying tonight
Flying tonight, flying tonight
Flying tonight, flying tonight
Flying tonight, flying tonight

As Long As You're There
03:53

The love I really need is what you brought to me
And everything I am is what you make me
I know that it's for real this feeling that I feel
The two of us were meant to be as one
I could be a millionaire wouldn't know or even care
As long as I know that you're there baby
The world could pass before my eyes
I wouldn't even realise what's goin' on
As long as you're there
As long as you're there
I was chasin' love around feelings upside down
Passions spent on chances not worth taking
Acting like a fool breaking every rule
When someone said there's more to life than this
I could be a millionaire wouldn't know or even care
As long as I know that you're there baby
The world could pass before my eyes
I wouldn't even realise what's goin' on
As long as you're there
As long as you're there
Oh I could be a millionaire wouldn't know or even care
As long as I know that you're there baby
The world could pass before my eyes
I wouldn't even realise what's goin' on
Yeah could be a millionaire wouldn't know or even care
As long as I know that you're there baby
The world could pass before my eyes
I wouldn't even realise what's goin' on
As long as you're there
As long as you're there
As long as you're there
As long as you're there

Make It Go Away
03:05

I don't wanna get up this morning
No I don't wanna get outta bed
As I turn my head on the pillow
Feel the cold kebab that's stuck to my head
Must have been a good night could have been a wild night
Is there anyone around that can say
Did I catch a taxi did I babble badly
Wish this woolliness would just go away
Thumping head and shaking legs that make me wanna sway
Tired eyes and sweaty palms just make it go away
I don't wanna get up this morning
No I don't wanna get outta bed
As I turn my head on the pillow
Feel the cold kebab that's stuck to my head
I wish I could remember is this still December?
Seems I've lost some time on the way
Just what was I drinking just what was I thinking
Wish this pain would just go away
Thumping head and shaking legs that make me wanna sway
Tired eyes and sweaty palms just make it go away
Solo
I didn't wanna get up this morning
I did not wanna get outta bed
As I turn my head on the pillow
Feel the cold kebab that's stuck to my head
Drank a lotta water much more that I otta
But it's taking all the pounding away
Also had a fry-up coffee from a big cup
Feel that sweet release move in on the day
Thumping head and shaking legs that make me wanna sway
Tired eyes and sweaty palms just make it go away
Thank God it went away
Solo
