The Neglected Gambit
04:31
|
|||
I don’t know what your aim was
But it never worked too well
I am still here so alive and free
Unshackled and beautiful
I fell to the dark side
When I lost you
But now I know
It’s for the best
I have a good heart
And love inside my soul
It’s good to share with someone
Bridge
I don’t know what you thought you’d achieve
But this Neglected Gambit
Has come back to tease you
Look at me and look at you
You’re just a mess, oh my, oh my!
Chorus
I have a good heart and a soul
To share with someone
Please share my love
I have a full heart and a soul
To share with someone
Please share my love
My love, my love.
I don’t know what your aim was
But you’re not what you may seem
And I’m still here only in your dreams
I’m unphased, while I pity you
It’s good to share with someone
Bridge
I don’t know what you thought you’d achieve
But this Neglected Gambit
Has come back to tease you
Look at you and look at me
You’re just a mess, oh my, oh my.
Chorus
I have a good heart and a soul
To share with someone
Please share my love
I have a full heart and a soul
To share with someone
Please share my love
My love, my love. Oh Yeh!
Chorus to fade
(love love love)
(It’s good to share your love)

Why Do I Want You?
05:03
|
|||
I think about you daily
You’re always in my thoughts
You know that I still miss you
It’s not a crime to hold some hope
The days are cold and lonely
You turned them that way
And guilt doesn’t become you
As long as you are okay.
What is wrong with you?
Where is your heart?
Chorus
I still want you
I can’t see you
I can’t have you
Yet, I still love you
The time has come for a real man
To face the hurt they caused
Why Do I Want You?
Maybe it is time for you to say sorry and mean it
You were quite contagious
You knew all the best ways
Of always taking and never giving
You left me so afraid (left so afraid)
You were a great deceiver
To think that I loved you
I still maybe a believer
But your affair by the book was cruel
What is wrong with you?
Where is your heart?
Chorus
I still want you
I can’t see you
I can’t have you
Yet, I still love you
The time has come for a real man
To face the hurt they caused
Why Do I Want You?
Middle Eight
Maybe it is time for you to say sorry
And mean it.
Oh maybe it is time for you to say honey
I mean it
Oh hmmm maybe it is time for you to say darling
I mean it…. Ahhhhhh
Chorus
I still want you
I can’t see you
I can’t have you
Yet, I still love you
The time has come for a real man
To face the hurt they caused
Why Do I Want You?
I still want you
I can’t see you
I can’t have you
Yet, I still love you
The time has come for a real man
To face the hurt they caused
Why Do I Want You?
Maybe it is time for you to say sorry
And mean it.
Oh maybe it is time for you to say honey
I mean it
Oh hmmm maybe it is time for you to say darling
I MEAN IT!!!

So What!
05:05
|
|||
Don’t make me look at the headline
Don’t make me face up to what is lost
Don’t let me know, it’s too hurtful
So have some sense
Do do do do do do ~ do do do do do do
Don’t let me look at his picture
Don’t let it show me the shallow edge
It only makes the memories more intense
Do do do do do do ~ do do do do do do
Bridge
Maybe I am lost on the wayside
Maybe it’s true I am lost to low tides
Things can’t stay like this forever
Something I will try to endeavour
Chorus
So What!
Lets face the truth
I took my chance on a lowlife
Maybe it is good for us sometimes
To be denied
I am not one of those who just accept
And die
There’s never a right time to say goodbye
(To say goodbye) But maybe this is my time
Don’t let me switch on the small screen
Don’t le me turn on the buttons today
Don’t let me read any words to make me cry
Do do do do do do ~ do do do do do do
Don’t let me tell you I miss you ooooh
Don’t let me make myself look a fool
Don’t let me change my opinion,
My opinion of you.
Do do do do do do ~ do do do do do do
Bridge
Maybe I am lost on the wayside
Maybe it’s true I am lost to low tides
Baby it can’t stay like this forever
Something I will try to endeavour
Chorus
So What!
Lets face the truth
I took my chance on a lowlife
Maybe it is good for us sometimes
To be denied
I’m not one of those who just accept
And die
There’s never a right time to say goodbye
(To say goodbye) But maybe this is my time
Middle Eight
Ba ba da da da da da da
Ba ba da ba da da da da oh woh who
Ba ba da da da da da da
Chorus
So What!
Lets face the truth
I put my faith in a lowlife
Maybe it is good for us sometimes
To be denied
I am not one of those who just accept and die
There's never a right time, to say goodbye
There’s never a right time, to say goodbye
There’s never a right time to say goodbye
Maybe this is my time.

Baby, It's So Wonderful
05:06
|

Baby, It’s so wonderful
To see you standing there
Standing in my path
It’s a dream
It’s a fantasy that I have
Bridge/Chorus
Do you know? Do you know?
How much I miss you?
Do you know, do you know?
Baby, It’s so wonderful
To hear your voice again
A sound that melts my heart
It’s so great, to hear your spoken words.
Bridge/Chorus
Do you know? Do you know?
How much I miss you?
Do you know? Do you know?
Baby, It’s so wonderful
To hold your hands again
Just like all that time ago
When you told me,
You told me how much you cared.
Bridge/Chorus
Do you know? Do you know?
How much I missed you?
Do you know? Do you know?
How much I loved you?
Do you know? Do you know?
You made me feel
You made me feel
Middle Eight
Baby, It’s so wonderful
To hold you in my arms
To takeaway the weight of the world
The weight of the world
You make me feel so strong
Bridge/Chorus
Do you know? Do you know?
How much I missed you?
Do you know? Do you know?
How much I loved you?
Do you know? Do you know? Oooooohhh
You made me feel, you made me feel so wonderful
(Sha la la la la la la la la la)
You made me feel so wonderful Oooh
(Sha la la la la la la la la la)
You made me feel so wonderful
(Sha la la la la la la la la la)
You made me feel so wonderful (Baby, it’s so wonderful)
You make me feel so strong (Sha la la la la la la la la la)

Tangled Tree
03:51
|
|||
I smell you in the cold night air
Crossing bridges to bygone worlds
Consumed in laughter those few days
Enchanting smile, lost for words
Chorus
When I met you at the Tangled Tree
We where back before the dark
And the sign that I engraved for thee
A memory that we were lovers
Ba bah do ahhh
Ba bah do ahhh
Ba bah do ahhh
Just like your sweater grey and cold
Or was it blue, I can’t recall
A walk, two hands, a square
Together, breathing….
Breathing the same air
Chorus
When I met you at the Tangled Tree
We where back before the dark
And the sign that I engraved for thee
A memory that we were lovers
Ba bah do ahhh
Ba bah do ahhh
Ba bah do ahhh
Middle Eight
Ooooh ooooh
When I met you at the Tangled Tree
We were back before the dark
And the sign that you engraved for me
A memory that we were lovers
Ba bah do ahhh
Ba bah do ahhh
Ba bah do ahhh (love is at the Tangled Tree)
Ba bah do ahhh
Ba bah do ahhh
Ba bah do ahhh (love is at the Tangled Tree)

Baby, can’t you hear
The voice that said
Please believe
Have faith, have trust
You will see
We’ll work it all out
It will be okay, okay, okay
Bridge
I would swim that big ocean
To be there in your arms
I would set the wheels in motion
But fate it shot a dart
Chorus
To take the sunshine from my heart
And it will take a long time before it’s found
If I could take us both back to the start
You would see we were so many,
So many miles apart.
Baby, please believe
I mean every word,
Can’t you see,
I’ll find us a way
Sometime soon
We’ll figure it out
It will be okay, okay, okay.
Bridge
As my heart’s getting weaker
And the tears are still warm
And the wounds are getting deeper
They could be sealed in your arms
Chorus
You took the sunshine from my heart
And it will take a long time before it’s found
If I could take us both back to the start
You would see we where, so many,
So many miles apart
You took the sunshine from my heart
Bridge
I would swim that big ocean
To be there in your arms,
I would set those wheels in motion
But fate it shot a dart
Middle Eight
You took the sunshine from my heart
And it will take a long time before it’s found
To Fade
Oooooh Ahhhhhh Ahhhhh Ahhhhh

(Firecracker)
It is that time of year again
When we look to the sky
Dreaming of solutions
In the cold of the night
Crossing stars, reach for mars
The battle begins
To light up the sky
The best that’s ever been
Chorus
I am a firecracker
I will burn you up
There is no-one quite like me
I’m too much of a dream
I’m a little firecracker
The way they bull me up
I will never be like you
You’re too much of a fool
(Mr Flashrocket)
So the battle commences
To win your attention
The younger the better
Don’t have to speak the language
I am red
You are blue
We Criss Cross the sky
There’s always temptation to (TOUCH)
As we fly
Chorus
My little firecracker
The way you burn so bright
I could never follow you
I haven’t got a clue
My little firecracker
The way we bull you up
I could never be like you
I’m too much of a fool
Middle Eight
(Firecracker)
Mr Flash Rocket
You think you are so great
So fake
When Equatic is beautiful
Your blind shell is out of date
NO TASTE
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba bahhh
Ohhh wohhhhh ooooooo wohhhhh
Chorus
(Mr Flash Rocket)
My little firecracker
The way you burn so bright
I could never follow you
I haven’t got a clue
My little firecracker
The way we bull you up
I could never be like you
I’m too much of a fool
Mr Flash Rocket
(I love you firecracker, Catherine wheel she’s not the same as you)
Firecracker
(Burn so bright, Mr Flash Rocket, you think you are so great, So fake)

Make It Better
03:56
|
|||
I want you all to understand
I had this friend who held my hand
He kept me sane and smiley everyday
He was my ultimate cosmic soul
Chasing rainbows and glitter bows
Our feelings took their toll and they gave way
It was to late for us at the start
I should have known
It was to late for us at the start
It was bound to explode
But I need to let it all go
I need to let it all go
To make me feel better
People just don't understand
The way you left this sorry mess
It's okay to creep and crawl to you
Go on hurt me one more time
One more chance to twist the knife
Revenge is sweet
What's due is due
It was to late for us
I can feel it, feel it in my heart
It was to late for us
I can feel it in my soul
But I have to let it all go
I have to let it all go
To make me feel better
I'm not a rags to riches baby
It's just you didn't want me
After all the lies you told and
The face to face I love you
Is something I cling onto
It was to late for us
When your wealth was all that kept you strong
But I have to let it all go (the face to face I love you)
I have to let it all go (is something I cling onto)
I have to let it all go, to make me feel better

Weather Warning
05:15
|
|||
I think you knew exactly what was happening
I was blinded by your love
I’ll never feel the same again
How can you feel safe in your surroundings?
Can you hear the sound of thunder
Are you filled with a sense of wonder.
Chorus
Pitter patter, pitter patter goes the rain
Honey can you feel my pain
If the clock ticks once for every tear that falls
Honey can you read out
Read out the weather warning
There’s another storm approaching
Can you read the weather warning
There’s another storm approaching
Baby held my hand along the roadside
After five you say lets go and you release me
And watch me fall (and watch me fall)
Does it make you happy to have this sense of pride
Does it make you feel better
Now we can’t even talk about the weather
Chorus
Pitter patter, pitter patter goes the rain
Honey can you feel my pain
If the clock ticks once for every tear that falls
Honey can you read out
Read out the weather warning
There’s another storm approaching
Can you read the weather warning
There’s another storm approaching
Middle Eight
All this time
Living in this grey sky
All this time
Looking for some sun, some sunshine
Pitter patter, pitter patter, pitter patter
Pitter pitter pitter pitter patter
X4
Chorus
Pitter patter, pitter patter goes the rain
Honey can you feel my pain
If the clock ticks once for every tear that falls
Honey can you read out
Read out the weather warning
Theres another storm approaching
Can you read the weather warning
Theres another storm approaching
Approaching (all this time, looking for some sun, some
Sunshine)

Messed Up
04:06
|
|||
I had a perfect life
With kids and a life love
Changed in a split second
By a manipulator and shrivelled heart
How did I have my head turned by someone like you?
I originally thought you were a ?
In the UK, that doesn’t mean you’re cool
Chorus
I messed up
I messed up
I messed up
I messed up my life
But you messed up
You messed up
You messed up
You messed up my heart
But I will take the blame
I’ll take the blame for that
I’ll take the blame
We kept each other company
In our otherwise boring live’s
Or so it seems
You where the one just, the one just
Passing time
Chorus
I messed up
I messed up
I messed up
I messed up my life
But you messed up
You messed up
You messed up
You messed up my heart
But I will take the blame
I’ll take the blame for that
I’ll take the blame
When you have someone tell you they love you
Enough times you tend to believe it
You seemed to up the stakes when you could see me
Slipping, slipping through your fingers.
Chorus
I messed up
I messed up
I messed up
I messed up my life
But you messed up
You messed up
You messed up
You messed up my heart, Oh yeh.
But I’ll take the blame for that
I’ll take the blame (brave lover, brave mother, brave soldier)
I’ll take the blame for that (Put your trust in a coward, coward, coward)
I’ll take the blame.

Will You Forgive Me?
04:14
|
|||
Picking up the pieces
Many near misses
A pattern unwinds
And I guess we learn
From places that are dear
Faces not so clear
It should stay in the past
The Hurt
If you where here now
I would hold you tight
Chorus
And say oooh, our loves out of bloom
But you know I’m sorry
Will you forgive me?
Out of blue, this songs out of tune
But you know I’m sorry
Will you forgive me?
A source of inspiration
A year of frustration
Okay, I admit such pain unfolds
So, I’ll bury all the memories
Stop talking of the stories
Dead and buried
Lets be bold.
If you where here now
I would hold you tight
Chorus
And say oooh, our loves out of bloom
But you know I’m sorry
Will you forgive me?
Out of blue, this songs out of tune
But you know I’m sorry
Will you forgive me?
Bridge
Maybe it will fix itself tomorrow
Tomorrow is another day
Maybe I will find a smile to borrow
It’s just a wish away
Oooh, but you know I’m sorry
Oh ooooh, oooh
Bridge
Maybe it will fix itself tomorrow
Tomorrow is another day
Maybe I will find a smile to borrow
It’s just a wish away
Chorus
Oooh, our loves out of bloom
But you know I’m sorry
Will you forgive me?
Out of blue, this songs out of tune
But you know I’m sorry
Will you forgive me?
Oooh, our loves out of bloom
But you know I’m sorry
Will you forgive me?
Out of blue, this songs out of tune
But you know I’m sorry
Will you forgive me?
Oooh Oooh Oooh
(You know I’m sorry will you forgive me)
To repeat

Winter Ghost
06:14
|
|||
I hear the crunching sound of dying leaves
The cold is biting off my fingers
Shredding layers of emotions here
The seasons change and what they bring us
Do you remember me?
As I stand in front of thee
Why do you look so transfixed?
You say, I'm not real
I don't exist
You're just a winter ghost
A winter ghost
You're not real
You're just a host and
I can't feel you in my arms
My winter ghost
As the winter takes control of my world
Freezes until I can no longer breathe in
So miserable
This hurt won't disperse
I lose all humour and wit
Do you remember me?
As I stand in front of thee
Why do you look so transfixed?
You say, I'm not real
I don't exist
You're just a winter ghost
A winter ghost
You're not real
You're just a host and
I can't feel you in my arms
My winter ghost
You're just a winter ghost
A winter ghost
You're not real
You're just a host and
I can't see you here with me
I can't feel you in my arms
I can't feel you here with me and
I can't feel you in my arms
My winter ghost
