Greyhound 04:24
lyrics
buy track
I was asleep beside Another weary eyed Driver stuck inside The slipstream of our Weeks of words, we never speak Of any love unique But that don’t mean it’s gone Gone, gone And maybe we will never know why we’re here at all Here at all Maybe we are on the upside Maybe we are on the downside Slow it down Feet on the ground No need to hurry We’re safe and sound Slow it down Greyhound No need to worry We’re safe and sound So if you’re feeling good Content and understood Don’t ever feel you should come crawling back to Colder climes, blushing cheeks The sleepy driver speaks And still we travel on On, on And maybe we will never know why we’re here at all Here at all Maybe we are on the upside Maybe we are on the downside Slow it down Feet on the ground No need to hurry We’re safe and sound Slow it down Greyhound No need to worry We’re safe and sound

Easiness and I 04:11
lyrics

We said goodbye Easiness and I Our better days grew too hazy in the high I loved her yes Cause she knew best Well to my mind When the lines of reason Blur between the bars and bands Every colour seems so groovy Take her hand she’ll lead you twirling through the glass Like a feather on the wind, you’ll glide Oh God I’m feeling insecure And unsure Much less alive I never knew I needed anyone insatiably before We said goodbye Easiness and I Our better days grew too hazy in the high When I was stressed And depressed Well I knew why In the endless cinders Lay the dreams of flames gone by Every inch of dust was costly And I’m an advocate of fun before you die But to learn to live you have to look outside Oh God I’m feeling insecure And unsure Much less alive I never knew I needed anyone insatiably before We said goodbye Easiness and I Our better days grew too hazy in the high I loved her yes And now much less That’s the alibi

Today/ Wishful Thinking 06:22
lyrics
buy track
Eye to eye Will make it easier to see Make it easier to see Through I won’t cry When it’s obvious to me It should be obvious to you Too If you were born again tomorrow What would you do That you didn’t do Today If you could call again tomorrow What would you say That you didn’t say Today Try to try We could be talking to defuse I could be walking in your shoes too Do or die Would make it easier to see Make it easier to see through If you were born again tomorrow What would you do That you didn’t do Today If you could call again tomorrow What would you say That you didn’t say Today /// I don’t know why I’ve been feeling kinda weary Like I’ll never be a regular guy Suit and a tie Rising in the morning Falling with the sun in the sky I could survive If I had a little money, Loving for the rest of my life If I could drive Think I’d find it kinda funny To keep running like I’ll never arrive But I don’t know how I don’t know when But I was hoping maybe someday I could see you again But that’s just Wishful Thinking I suppose Remember the times We were only ever right We were only ever high, I Remember the times We were lying in the sun We were only having fun And now that’s done, I don’t know where We went wrong Night after night I’ll linger in your pocket Speak without the hint of a lie If you would like Stick my finger in the socket Water me until I’m dry I could provide A season of believing In the never ending spring of your life I could supply A reason for you leaving If you give me just a little more time But I don’t know how I don’t know when But I was hoping maybe someday I could see you again But that’s just Wishful Thinking I suppose Remember the times We were only ever right We were only ever high, I Remember the times We were lying in the sun We were only having fun And now that’s done, I don’t know where We went wrong.

I Don't Want to Know 03:24
lyrics

Rain Every day Is the Same In Every Waiting for an easy way out Is the only thing we’re talking about Stay Slaving Away Is a game And if you’re playing then you’re in with a shout It’s the only thing I’m talking about I I’m waiting at the window I I’m walking through the door And I don’t want to know Any way the wind blows Goodbye I don’t want to know Sane Simple and plain My brain Is straining for an easy way out That’s the only thing we’re thinking about Rain Every day Is the Same In Every Way and there’s no easy way out It’s the only thing I’m thinking about I I’m waiting at the window I I’m walking through the door And I don’t want to know Any way the wind blows Goodbye I don’t want to know

Making Ends Meet 03:43
lyrics
buy track
They say Joe used to read the bible And he’d sing sweet melodies in school Writing words as a means of survival Whether they’re false, or true You, you moved to America And I hope you go far Yes, I hope you go far Yes, you were young Younger than me You had the world at your feet I wait behind and I’ll always find a way Of making ends meet And in dreams we would go walking Willing winter in to spring And I’ll crack a tea stained smile With the ease that comfort brings You, you moved to America And I hope you go far Joe, I hope you go far Yes, you were young Younger than me You had the world at your feet I wait behind and I’ll always find a way Of making ends Meet me when Days have come and days have gone Behind, a shadow waits for you and I will laugh as we end up where we started And we end up with who we started with Yes, you were young Younger than me You had the world at your feet I wait behind and I’ll always find a way Of making ends Split open my mind With divine design You’ve seen it all I wait behind and i’ll always find a way Of making ends meet

Mr Pacifist 04:33
lyrics

You feel like an enemy to me tonight Well hey Mr. Pacifist won’t you join the fight? Sitting on the sidelines you may find That everybody else is of the killing kind You talk like you’re recommending the end of days Well hey Mr Pessimist optimism pays Everybody sighs and some seem blue But try to realise that life can change for you Life can change for you Life can change for you Life can change for you Stay Walk away Who’s to say? You wince in the most convincing way you can Hey Mr Masochist I’m your biggest fan... Everybody cries but not like you Try to realise There’s pain in pleasure too Pain in pleasure too Pain in pleasure too Pain in pleasure too Stay Walk away Who’s to say?

Where the River Flows 04:18
lyrics
buy track
Show me around What have you found? Oceans of light and sound? I need Cold morning dew With a Glittering hue Painted in green and blue What will it take To understand that every man can make Any demand And hold the weight of their mistakes in hand? In hand No one knows Where the river flows So it flows Forever I suppose No one knows Clouds may roll by Mother and I Deep in a violet sky But I’ve got Places to be You can Take it from me Everything seems so free When will we break To realise that lying eyes can take Any disguise And watch the fate that they’d create, denied? No one knows Where the river flows So it flows Forever I suppose No one knows

Do You Believe? 03:10

Another day Has begun Another world Only one Little old me Little old me Do you know Blood is blue Do you know What is true? Blue may be grey Blue may be grey Hey you Do you believe What you see? Do you believe What you read? Do you believe What you say? I’m on your side Over there Only cruel ‘Cause I care More than I should More than I should And when the words Aren’t so clear They’ll be heard By the ear Any which way Any which way Hey you Do you believe What you see? Do you believe What you read? Do you believe What you say?

Well never mind You never know Take it nice and slow You may find Ooh That I don’t play nice And you don’t play fair We’re only starting to care I don’t suffice You can’t compare Here we are up, up, up, Up in the air If ever you’re lonely Come find, come find, come find me And should you be leaving Go light, go light, go lightly You never see I never say Faking it every day What we could be Ooh, But I don’t play nice And you don’t play fair We’re only starting to care I don’t suffice You can’t compare Here we are up, up, up, Up in the air If ever you’re lonely Come find, come find, come find me And should you be leaving Go light, go light, go lightly

So, the sight of love is sailing on I couldn’t stand to see you Go. Get out of town. Get out of dodge now and Don’t look Back across the years The common fears You never planned to let them Grow to never show Fly to never fall I could never slow you down Slow you Down and out I’d like to say, to say that I Never said I needed someone and Now and then I like to say that, to say that I Needed someone and I needed someone and So, the sight of love is sailing on I couldn’t stand to see you Go for evening gowns and better times that you won’t get Back Across the years The bitter tears You never planned to let them Grow, to never show Fall, to never flow I should really know you by Know you by Now and then I’d like to say, to say that I Never said I needed someone and Down and out I like to say, to say that I Needed someone and I needed someone and So, the sight of love Is sailing on
