Change The Record

So you think you know it all
Be it right or wrong
Maybe it is time you played a different song
The story has been spinning round for years
Time to put an end to all your fears now
Never live it, never be it
You'll never feel the song that's on your mind
Never see it, never hear it
You'll never be the song that's on your mind
The song that's on your mind
The song that's on your mind
Wohhh, what's on your mind
So you see it all as being pretty black and white
Maybe it is time you tried a different bite
Life consists of swaps and changes
With no substance to your re-arranging
Oh wow wow wow wow wow
Never live it, never hear it
You'll never feel the song that's on your mind
Never see it, never hear it
You'll never be the song that's on your mind
The song that's on your mind
The song that's on your mind
Wohhh, what's on your mind
If you don't change the record
I may just have to call the boys in
It's gonna gonna turn a turn a turn a
Turn the tables around
Never live it, never hear it
You'll never feel the song that's on your mind
Never see it, never hear it
You'll never be the song that's on your mind
The song that's on your mind
The song that's on your mind
Wohhh, what's on your mind

Dragonfly
04:48
|

|
I give myself another chance to say the words how much I'm sorry
I never wanted you to leave me alone
I always thought I'd be surrounded by your love forever
Never a day without you
Another chance to say I miss you
Another way to say I'm feeling blue
I can't see that ever changing
Ever changing my love
Don't be scared of the dragonfly
Turn your face to the sun
One day you'll wake and realise
All your choices have gone
I will never have the chance to hear you say how much your sorry
It's not something your willing to do
You will never understand how much you broke me
You keep your face turned to the sun
I give myself another reason to say I miss you
Another way to say I'm feeling blue
I can't see that ever changing
Ever changing, my love.
Don't be scared of the dragonfly
Keep your heart as one
Oh one day you'll wake and realise
All your choices have gone
Oh won't you fly back home
My dream, my dream
Oh won't you fly back home
My dream, my dream, my dream
No more chances left to say the words how much we're sorry
I never thought I'd have a day without you
The days are now forever changed
You'll never understand how much you broke me
Don't be scared of the dragonfly,
Keep your heart as one
One day you'll wake and realise
All your choices have gone (pull my wings off one by one) x 2
Oh won't you fly back home
My dream, my dream
Oh won't you fly back home
My dream, my dream, my dream

Bite Your Tongue
03:38
|

|
Do you have to bite your tongue
Whenever you have something on your mind
Kind of looking foolish or even crazed like
Do you have to hold yourself
From looking down upon the mess you made
One little weak moment to clean up
Could change your world forever
The days they get weary and the nights are so cold
My future looks scary without your blanket of love
I really have to bite my tongue
I really need to leave my past behind
One foolish move in anger and now a goodbye
Now all my shreds of hope have gone
In thinking you could ever change your mind
One little weak moment to clean up
Could change your world forever
The days they get weary and the nights are so cold
My future looks scary without your blanket of love
I carry on regardless it's the British way to be
But it still hurts that you're so nonchalant with me
Do you have to bite your tongue
Whenever you have something on your mind
One little weak moment to clean up
Could change your world forever
The days they get weary and the nights are so cold
My future looks scary without your blanket of love
Love, love, love

Take It Or Leave It
03:38
|
|||
|
The house on the corner, it's grey and cold
It's where you reside, where your lies are told
You're so used to that life
Fake your love to excite
You can take it or leave it
A merry young soul she was washed away
You endangered a beauty to save your day
Are you happy about that, a successful entrapment
You can take it or leave it
Is that how you think that love is found
Bring her back to us
We all miss her so much
A shadow of her former self
No sparkle amongst the dust
Bring her back to us
The smile that we once loved
A shadow of her former self
No sparkle amongst the dust
She stumbled and fell through her drowning eyes
No ringing of bells, until you said goodbye
Your lack of sharing and giving
You can take it or leave it
A merry old dance in your Sunday hat
Hiding the guilt of a selfish man
How could you hurt her like that?
Your own perfect enchantment
Is that how you think that love is found
Bring her back to us
We all miss her so much
A shadow of her former self
No sparkle amongst the dust
Bring her back to us
The smile that we once loved
A shadow of her former self
No sparkle amongst the dust
Bring her back to us
We all miss her so much
A shadow of her former self
No sparkle amongst the dust

Buffoon Man
04:47
|
|||
|
I can't believe that finally two years have passed
Since a gremlin came and he took me first
If I knew then what I know now
I'd have let him go to the shallow place
Where Buffoons do go
He told me that he wanted me
So I walked away
We were mean't to be is what he used to say
If I knew then what I know now
I would have stayed and sent him on his way
To his buffoon like place
I maybe sorry I behaved that way
But you deserved a slap back in the face
But I do know now that I was used by you
You are a total disgrace
To man and to this human race
But I do know now that I was used by you
I can't believe I finally I find the right words to say
No longer blinded by sunshine rays
If I knew then what I know now
I'd have let you go to the shallow place
Where buffoons do sow
Now you're known as Mr Rat
To all my friends
They all know that I'm the one who tried to make amends
To carry on regardless in your sad old world and
Bullshit is the main basis of your tiny pearls
I maybe sorry I behaved that way
But you deserved a slap back in the face
But I do know now that I was used by you
You are a total disgrace
To man and to this human race
But I do know now that I was used by you
You never had it in you by experience
Never fancied being a Step Dad
Got a dog instead
Shopping at your thrift shop and your CD store
I pity an ageing man who has so many flaws
Your just a buffoon man

Teeny weeny baby steps
One after the other do do do
Tippy tap, the postman's past
No more love letters, do do do
Ding dong, my emails blocked
To make you feel better
Do, do, do, do, do, do
You think you're amazing
Oh such a sweetheart
To get away with being such a smart arse
Well let me tell you something
Mr smiley pants
Let me take you back to the start
I'm only here because of you
It's time to change
I'm only here because I was blue
It's time to break away
There is a little blackbird
Who sings outside my window
Do, do, do
I imagine he's been sent by you
To show care and comfort
Do, do, do
It's difficult to speak
So you twitter and tweet tweet
Do, do, do, do, do, do
You think you're so superior
Void of remorse
No need to think so hard, it's part of what you endorse
Well let me tell you something
Just because I can
Let me take you back to the start
I'm only here because of you
It's time to change
I'm only here because I was blue
It's time to break away
I'm only here because of you
You think you're amazing
Oh such a sweetheart
To get away with being such a smart arse
Well let me tell you something
Mr smiley pants
Let me take you back to the start
I'm only here because of you
It's time to change
I'm only here because I was blue
It's time to break away
I'm only here because of you
It's time to change
I'm only here because I was blue
It's time to break away Oh!

Everything
03:15

Am I showing you another weak sign
It doesn't really matter if you're ever on line
Your cheesy wooh ooohs and my life is just great
You don't really fool me, but you'll fool your new mates
In everything you will find there is a winner and loser
You will never know your place until you try
But if I had a chance again to roll my number
You would never get a piece of my life
When you're in everything that I see
You're in the stars that shine at night
You're in every single one of my dreams
You're in everything, everything that I see and breathe
I guess it's a little like
The blind leading the blind
But nothing you do comes as no real big surprise
The fakeness of your words and the smoothness of your blag
To be perfectly honest, you've become such a drag
One day the young chicks will laugh at the old man
Grinning cheesily as if he's so cool
I know I'm not being very pleasant (I guess I don't mean it)
It's because I miss you
When you're in everything that I see
You're in the stars that shine at night
You're in every single one of my dreams
You're in everything, everything that I see and breathe
When you're in everything that I see
You're like the moon that shines at night
You're in every single one of my dreams
You're in everything, everything that I see and breathe

Cover Me
03:35
|

|
You lived your whole life like a movie
You need a heroine and a hero
Oh Romeo and little Lola
Not quite sure were they belong
One things for certain now
There is tomorrow
But will you still be there to watch me weep
With love, cover me oooh
With love, cover me oooh
I dreamt I was swimming with dolphins
That's how safe you made me once feel
Does your new garden grow blossom
While mine still awaits to be healed
One things for certain now
There is tomorrow
But will you still be there to watch me sleep
With love, cover me oooh
With love, cover me oooh
With love love love love love oooh
With love love love love love oooh
One things for certain now
There is tomorrow
But will you still be here to love me
With love, cover me oooh
With love, cover me oooh
With love love love love love oooh x 4

Watching The Stars
03:30
|

|
Make one wish
I hope it comes true
Be it lying in the sun
Or confiding in the moon
Make one wish
Keep it close to your heart
Reach for the sky
In my dreams we are never apart
It's a chance to show your loving
Though we travel different lanes
It's so nice to see we're growing
Maybe our stars will align again
Take my tears
Hold them close to your soul
Remember all the times
I was captured in your heart
Live our years
Always wondering why?
But you decided to let go
I never thought of saying goodbye
Can't you see that time is precious
Too late to bring the word of trust
While the sun it keeps on growing
Baby and turns us all to dust
Take lost years
Place them in a jar
All that wasted happiness
That hasn't been enjoyed
Another chance to show your loving
Though we travel different lanes
It's so nice to see we're growing
Maybe, our stars will align again

Tuxedo Cat

Oh Tuxedo the great
Stretch your chest out with pride
Your fakeness is contagious
You can smell it from your bowl
Does your little old lady
Brush you down when you get home
Picking up the debris that you left behind that day
Does your little old lady make it better from the good she did that day?
Oh Tuxedo Cat, are you incapable
Oh Tuxedo Cat, of exchanging love
Oh Tuxedo Cat, stick to your promises
Oh Tuxedo Cat, of exchanging love
Oh Tuxedo the great
The smile once so endearing
Has turned into an evil smirk
No care for those who are hurting
You see it as one of life's little perks
Sitting in your ivory tower
Whiskers twitching, sniffing bait
Get dressed for your social gathering
Your guest need Tuxedo the great
Oh Tuxedo Cat, are you incapable
Oh Tuxedo Cat, of exchanging love
Oh Tuxedo Cat, stick to your promises
Oh Tuxedo Cat, of exchanging love
Does she put your bowl of water out next to the dogs?
The one to replace the children
Somewhere to exchange your love
Straighten up your dicky bow
Oh like a good little boy
I bet she doesn't let you hmm hmm hmm
Or let you use your hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
Chorus to end

Meteor Shower
06:35
|
|||
|
When your ice cold heart forms and sublimates
Your vapour trail can hurt the most innocent of lives
Spreading all along the entire orbit
With velocity you move so fast, across the sky
Cosmic debris, you move at high speeds
Only smaller, than a grain of sand
As the earth is turning on it's axis
You're coming in to land
It's another meteor shower
At this witching hour
An impossible dream
So arousing
When your dirty snowball and other volatiles infect here
Leave your dust trail to form a meteor stream
Full of con artists and so many has been's
Falling fast, disintegrating
Avoiding those moon beams, moon beams
It's another meteor shower
At this witching hour
An impossible dream
So arousing
Move over, move over, make way
Earths turning, Earth's turning, turning
Move over, move over, make way
Earth's turning, Earth's turning, turning
It's another meteor shower
At this witching hour
An impossible dream
So arousing
