Standing Still 02:49
lyrics

You are something different You are something new Your family has high hopes for you So shout it out Be all that you can be You can't do everything you want No, you can't do everything you want No, you can't be who you want to be And be free. You can't be free. So take your time Figure out what you want But do it in a year Know it right away Have it done by yesterday Yesterday As the pressure starts to squeeze you think of Childhood memories Lost into the days of way back when You can't do it again You are something different You are something new Your family has high hopes for you

Little Drummer Boy 02:28
lyrics

Little drummer boy sitting there Doesn’t know where music comes from and where-oh Where, can he go to find out Over the hills and far away He stumbles through his life each day and Days; they go by so fast. Oh these days they go by so fast. He sends ink into the world again It’s hardly pleasant and it’s not for friends and Friends - well, they hardly come ‘round. Imagination is fading quick And all he has is his drum and his sticks and his sticks, They don’t make a sound. And his sticks, they won’t make a sound. This red tornado boy just Cannot seem to find the one And while the world looks for duo’s he’s trying, to Make his drumming his work and fun He’s smart, he’s skilled and he stands his ground He wasn’t lost but he’s soon found and Found he could achieve much more Little drummer boy finds his friends But this really isn’t where it ends ‘cause Ends – Well, they’re just the start Oh yes this really is the start.

I Miss You 03:56
lyrics

I’ve been walking every morning to get some fresh air Under the misguided belief that I am going somewhere I’ll walk for hours until my feet hurt and curse myself on the way home My friends talk about me – they laugh and they joke As if deep down I don’t know I guess I don’t want it to be true I won’t admit that I miss you I have bought a camera for my photography class I signed up last week and I think that I’m not going to pass All of my photos are of things that you do and all the things you like My tutor told me to try something new I told him to take a hike I guess I don’t want it to be true I won’t admit that I miss you I’ve also started yoga to help unravel my brain “It’s similar to dancing,” said my friend, “In fact they’re exactly the same!” All of my movements are jerky and wrong and cause my bones to creak My chiropractor has suggested I stop as I’ve seen her four times this week I guess I don’t want it to be true I won’t admit that I miss you This spin you got me in, it drives me mad My friends say I’m not me But at least until you come back home It keeps my mind busy I’ve started writing music to come to terms with myself I’m told it’s therapeutic – so far it’s bad for my health I sing the same words over and over to fit words to my heart But all I think of is when you’ll come home It’s tearing me apart I guess it’s time I said it to you I want And love And I miss you

I'll Wait 03:06
lyrics

You’re not gone Yes you’re okay Sipping tea in Coventry which is in the U.K And we are here. Which is, not so near Hoping that the information has gone astray All this technology and yet we wait and sit in this uncertainty I really don’t like it But I’ll wait forever ‘cause I strive To keep you alive In my mind You are laughing Telling me you’re packing me and taking me home And your wit Hits me in the pit of my stomach ‘till I cry our from pain ‘Cause you’re way of saying things Is simply insane. I’m not the kind who is always out of touch But please forgive me if I only say this much Leave a message while I take a drive To keep you alive Yes I could be wrong and I could simply be ignoring my family But I’d rather just wait a while and prevent any agony You’re not gone You’re okay Sipping tea in melancholy, rainy U.K And you are fine! And you are happy Actually, wherever you are you are happy and swell if I just heard your voice I would know and could tell…

We Are 04:24
lyrics

I'm down, on all fours Bleeding from all the digging I've been clawing through, metaphors To cloak how I've been feeling Well, what is there really left to say? What else could we talk about anyway? I've spent my whole time looking down Making sure I don't stand in things If I'd looked up I would have found What was coming my way You could say there was something more Some semblance worth fighting for I'd like to say, we can keep this going But let's just say, what we have been knowing For quite sometime now. Yes, this has been fun. But we are We are… How has your day been? I'm sure it's been boring I'm taking a guess because Every morning You start with a smile. And then Send me a text that contains your perplexed remark I could try much harder to reply But instead, I put it back on you and ask why. We spend each of our days In funny picture silence The last words were erased In ignorant defiance Hashtagged as "fear" Asking yourself "what am I doing here?” I'd like to say, we can keep this going But let's just say, what we have been knowing For quite sometime now. Yes, this has been fun. But we are We are… I'm down, on all fours Bleeding from all the digging I've been clawing through, metaphors To cloak how I've been feeling Well, what is there really left to say? What else could we talk about anyway?

Masquerade 03:16
lyrics

I do not want to go back to my school Breathe jealousy and where king plays the fool Mum says I must Why all the fuss? All this academic crazy circus I wish I could be best friends with my ex Not to save face Or for the sex Dad says I can’t And so I shant Tip-Toe around all the manners we plant I want to live in a giant balloon Safe from those who eat my brain with a spoon Why can they see How it hurts me Mostly when they use the wrong cutlery Sunrise to sunset I’m constantly blue How do us humans know not what we do? Like some parasite We sit and hold tight Hoping that no one will block our limelight And I wish my words weren’t so easy to get Some air of mystery I’d not regret My brain cannot It tries, then gets hot It overloads so this is all I’ve got.

Optophobia 05:14

This big ball of icy white light It sits in my soul It shimmers and shatters at night So I swallow it whole Now with this static, I ache But I cannot make a sound For in the darkness you'll find me And I don't want to be found I twitch and I twirl and I soar Got my head in the clouds People say that I've done this before Gotta drown out their doubts The protests they burst at the seams But I cannot make a sound For in the darkness you'll find me And I don't want to be found This cosmic joke in my bones Is seen differently For the talent, it holds onto loans Calls in debts when I'm free I want to breath out and just scream But I cannot make a sound For in the darkness you'll find me And I don't want to be found As it starts to tumble It falls in a jumble It can laugh, it can jest, it can joke. As the fire dies it turns into smoke. Stop running now Running out Stop Running now Running out This big ball of icy white light It sits in my soul It shimmers and shatters at night So I swallow it whole Now with this static, I ache But I cannot make a sound For in the darkness you'll find me And I don't want to be ... Found

How Do You Feel 04:51

No I can’t stay, not today Not time for play, no way No time for drinking, or thinking or sinking in how we might feel No one to utter, those five little words that can change everything when you say How do you feel today? How do you feel today? I’m sorry I’m teary It’s been a long day, and I’m weary So when you smile and say you’re under the weather, please try to act better ‘cause you know I see through your lie, and inside I die, I know you want to cry when I say How do you feel today? How do you feel today? How do you feel today? How do you feel today?

Another Day 01:59
lyrics

I’m just a little bit stressed today And I don’t know why I guess I’ve always been a little insane Worrying about things that I Can’t control - Don’t have access to No security card that says I’m privy to Take control of this part And I’d like to Take a hold of the reins But I’m banished to Storing all of this pain Away For another day this pain - away There are people in Africa who have it hard Don’t have the time to write a song about it They just start, the morning with what they’ve got – it’s daunting to know that that’s their lot So get out of bed and eat your gluten-free bread And lock up those worries deep inside of your head 'Cause heaven forbid you say all that they have said Your friends say “Calm down and don’t babble” They don’t know you’ve had this battle Every single waking hour You’ve fought hard, you have no power left inside your giant mind You cry sometimes just to unwind Enough so that you have some space So you can fill it with the stress you make

Wedding Toast 03:39
lyrics
buy track
So I heard that you were hoping That I would write you a touching song For this auspicious day Boy you couldn't be more wrong Haven't you ever noticed That my words are written from the heart And the fact that you are leaving - well technically left - Is simply tearing me apart So don't look at me with wide and puzzled eyes I made it pretty frickin' clear when you left the first time And now you're back and hoping that these things will work out well Hardly see you Hardly speak Well, isn't that just swell... So here's a song I whipped up quick On just how much You make me sick Yes here's your song About who loves you the most Let's raise a glass For this wedding toast So since I've begun writing We've been together a little more Just one of those reminders Of how it was before And sure you say you're happy Because you've come back with 'the One' Just hand me the full dozen Because I'm bound to step on "one". And sure you're bound to see With those blue and honest eyes What you really want to see So why bother make you wise And I'm sure once you have heard this There will be no doubt You will muse to yourself, "I wonder who that is about" So here's the song At your request Honest and True One of my best Yes here's your song To your new life And unlike me Don't forget your wife And sure this response is strange I didn't see it coming too Took a while to analyse Just how mad I really am with you So here's my song Made just for you On what you've done And continue to do Yes here's my song Poured from my soul With not much left To fill the hole I said here's my song I hope it lifts the room Just a little memento for the Bride and Groom Yes here's my song I can't wait to show Perhaps not as a toast But for radio!

Lost Socks 03:17
lyrics

Where have I put my CD box? I think I've lost it in my house I'm wondering if it's with my socks That I have lost somewhere else Oh where did it go? I'll never know If I will find them Especially if I keep writing songs About them Where have all of my manners gone? I think I've lost them in my mouth And to admit when I am wrong I'm not that strong It won't come out. Oh where did it go? I'll never know If I will find them Especially if those who are polite Say they don't mind them Oh - and all of these problems that just Seem to come my way I wish that somebody would help come look Where are all these other people Who have lots to say? Maybe I'll just share my thoughts on Facebook Where have my grandparents all gone? Like stars, they've shone and then winked out I wish I was much further along To show strong I can't live without Oh where did they go? I'll never know If I will find them And future children of mine will not know What inspired them Where has my sensible dial gone It weighed a tonne - I took it out Although I've tried to use it anon It sat upon my heart and caused doubt Oh where did it go? I'll never know And there is no trace Maybe I just never used it right In the first place

Again 04:00

“Play me again,” says the music box to the child “Please turn the key so I go round and round and round, round and around...” “Please say you will and you will laugh and love and sing. Just turn the key, and you will hear the song of this small carousel- Please say you will.” For the music it plays Holds many memories of old days “Full of kindness and laughter and freedom,” it says “Hold me again,” says the China doll to the child “Please pick me up so you can swing me up and down, round and around- Hold me again.” “Please say you will, and you will laugh and love and sing- Just take me out and we can go for tea and cakes whilst in the park – Please say you will.” “For behind these glass eyes are Memories of hide and seek and of I spy's Full of kindness and laughter and freedom forevermore.” “Pull me again,” says the red wagon to the child “Please take my handle and pull me around and around and around. Pull me again.” But the children aren’t there They’re playing with new toys elsewhere So the music box dreams of the day when he’ll play once more So the toys gather round To share all the memories they’ve found They laugh and they love and they sing till the see the sunrise! “Please come again,” says the museum to us all “To reminisce when our happiness could be found in something small”

Who Would Have Thought 04:10

You were tired of all this pretending ‘We’ll meet again’ kisses But fate dragged your feet Right to me You played the fool To hide you were shy And we talked the whole night Then I left for home Who would have thought that we’d end up together? Who would have thought that we were meant to be? Who would have thought that we would have come this far? Not you and definitely not me Though the nights rolled by I knew I’d see you again baby someday You were in my heart Right from the start You’d send me letters Almost every day So even though I was far away You felt so close Who would have thought that we’d end up together? Who would have thought that we were meant to be? Who would have thought that we would have come this far? Not you and definitely not me You are my future You are my past I am so glad that we have made this last You have brought me to my new home, loved me and made me a family Don’t know what I’d do Without you You have made my life so much more And it’s because it’s with ones I adore Who would have thought that we’d end up together? Who would have thought that we were meant to be? Who would have thought that we would have come this far? Not you and definitely not me Who would have thought that we’d end up together? Who would have thought that we were meant to be? Who would have thought that we would have come this far? Not you and definitely not me Not you and definitely not me Not you and definitely not me

What If 03:15
lyrics

What if we don't work this out? What if they don't hire me? Would I spend my time stressing about how Others get life too easy? It's hard to know Where our lives can really go But one thing someone said to me is That these words won't set me free - "What If, what if, what if, what if, what if..." "What If, what if, what if, what if, what if..." What if I had not turned left? What if I had got that grade? Would I be where I am now or Somewhere where I get well paid To stand around Feeling like I've not been found Like I am missing something great You've gotta stop that brain debate - "What If, what if, what if, what if, what if..." "What If, what if, what if, what if, what if..." Filling our minds With this fear and doubt This is not what we should be Worried about What if I had spoken up? What if I had saved - not spent? Would our roles be quite the same or Would this all be different? The smallest change Could create a world so strange But my life would be such a bore If I thought forevermore - "What If, what if, what if, what if, what if..." "What If, what if, what if, what if, what if..." You can choose to stand and stare and Say that you don't really care while Others move on That's the choice that you have made your lemons for your lemonade but then You must stay strong And keep rolling along Yesterday is in the past Think about it - Make it last Remember what you've said and done Learn from it but still have fun 'Cause it's hard to know Where our lives can really go Sit or tip over that cliff Just don't keep your mind scared stiff with "What If, what if, what if, what if, what if..." "What If, what if, what if, what if, what if..."

My friend, he says to me “When will, you finish your CD?” My friend, he’s mighty fine I’m so glad he’s a friend of mine This man, he’s a generous guy Giving to others is how he spends his life This man is a mystery I cannot repay his generosity He’s the kind you can unwind to but Never you mind if it’s the other way around I just hope, that when he’s alone that the World he’s treated with such kindness will be there to Carry him home This guy, he gets around He knows many in this little town This man can be misguided at times You say jump – see how he climbs! Please come down From your tower That you’ve made from Sugar, water and flour This man…
