Trouble Among The Horses
03:19
|
|||
Days are long and they keep getting longer
- the season and the mood -
I’ve got a lot of things to do,
God knows I try hard to
Wonder how long it has been since I last
danced and cruised the floors
No, that’s right, it was last New Year’s
It seems so long ago
The horses are kicking,
I guess they can smell
the change on the grange
But Spring won’t be long now
and then I will let them out
They’ll be fine
I’ve had a lot of time to think,
but I hardly ever do
I have no real use for thoughts -
I save them all for you
The next time that I see the mailman
I’ll ask him where they’ve gone,
all those letters you have sent me
Perhaps he just forgot
The horses are kicking,
I guess they can smell
the change on the grange
But they will calm down
just as soon as they see
the ground’s Summer gown
The horses are kicking,
I guess they can smell
the change on the range
Autumn is chilly -
I think they could use your touch
Soon enough...
The horses are kicking,
I guess they can smell
the change on the grange
Winter means time to relax
but they roam out back
near your shack
How ‘bout that?
They think that
you won’t be back

For A Purpose
03:52
|
|||
I just stopped by to pass the time,
and nothing more
I hadn’t braced my heart
Now it’s pieces, bits and parts
What can I say?
I felt betrayed and cheated on
I had promised not
to break, but I forgot
Each morning when I wake up
and I still don’t know,
the moment’s quite mundane,
but it’s the best part of the day
‘Cause before I get out of bed
I’ve realized:
You’ve left me, I’m alone
And that’s how it will stay
But things are the way they are for a purpose
Things are the way they are for a purpose
Things are the way they are for a purpose
Things are the way they are for a purpose
Summer days and Winter days -
we need them all
Hard luck rain to feed,
kissing warmth to grow
So you go on, forget the swans
and have a life
‘Cause whatever I may feel
is what He had planned for me
(Chorus)

Thrill
03:04
|

It’s never gonna build
It’s never gonna build
From here the only way is down
And that’s not the thrill
That’s not the thrill
That made us paint this whole damn town
in blue and red
All my life
I’ve tried to find
a trust that won’t be spilt
Aw, just a sad old fool
with a Sunday blues
tells him he never will
I can’t sit still,
no, I can’t sit still
Must see those bright lights above town
And that’s not the thrill
That’s not the thrill
That you’ve found with another love now
Sweeter, softer...
All my life
I’ve tried to find
a love that won’t be spilt
Ah, just a sad old fool
with a country blues
tells him he never will

A worn-out cup that bears her name
Mail that is hers, there’s some every day
Dresses and jewellery I had no idea that I kept
A box full of pictures, guess what they’re of?
Fantasy postcards, cause that can’t be us...?
The space that I don’t use on her side of the bed
Her relics are around me every day
So as long as these eyes can see
she won’t go away, she will stay
A bookmark in plastic that reads "I love you"
Cards say "forever" - oh, we were such fools
But the name on my key chain is hers
and I know that won’t change

The End Of It
03:04
|
|||
You’ve been stealing all my sleep
I’ve been losing too much sleep
But last night I thought it through:
I’m over you, I’m over you, I’m over you
And that’s the end of it
That’s the end of it
Yeah, that’s the end of it
And I’m not scared,
no I’m not scared
Passing faces always pass
Passing phases never last
That lusting look that I longed for
I got it and I smiled,
thankful, frozen cold
If that’s the end of it,
if that’s the end of it,
if that’s the end of it,
there’s no denying I’ve lost mind
There’s no denying: I’ve lost my mind

All the way home I’m only thinking about you
The window won’t shut
I think I probably will catch a cold
All this thinking is carving a hole in my chest
We might never meet
We might actually never meet again
Your last written words bump around in my hand
Of poetry, time...
I guess there’s still some poetry after all
But gratitude’s waiting in line
Behind sadness, regrets
We might never meet
We might actually never meet again
All day long I tried to find a name for it
Then, I knew,
and now I’m fighting a hopeless urge
I know better than to use the L word
We might never meet
We might actually never meet again
We might never meet
We might actually never meet again
All this thinking is carving a hole in my chest

Screw You Around
04:13
|
|||
wish my pa had told me:
“Son, your time will come soon
They’ll be scrubbing factory floors,
you’ll go to the moon
You’re wonderful, a precious kind:
the prettiest thing I’ve seen
Those dumb kids are more scared
than you’ll ever be”
“So they may have girlfriends
and fancy bikes to mend,
but you’ve got brains
You’ll get away”
“Just don’t let them screw you around
Don’t let them screw you around”
I wish my pa had told me,
but if memory serves me right
(which it hardly ever does
I think I know why)
With their scared girlfriends,
they looked so confident
None of his talk
could’ve stopped my fall
“Don’t let them screw you around
Don’t let them screw you around”
Was it something I said?
Was it something I did?
My glasses, my high grades, my shirts?
Indefensable me?
What was pushing them on?
Who was leading them on?
It’s hard to be decent
When no-one can spell
The word “decency”
“Don’t let them screw you around
Don’t let them screw you around”

Push Your Luck
03:52

The morning dew is fading soon, babe
High time to make waves
Soon it’s day and then it’s too late
Too much care to take
So don’t let this morning go
Don’t let this morning go
Look at this gorgeous new day
It can take you where you wanna go
Push your luck, don’t go with the flow
You think that if you leave some traces,
life has been worthwhile,
But meaning in your life, let’s face it,
is up to you to find
So don’t let this morning go
Don’t let this morning go
(Chorus)
As each morning goes
you can’t seem to hear
what I say
But when this morning comes
everybody’ll hear me now
This time I’ll make it clear what I mean

You're My Only One
05:20
|

I’m sure that they told us
to stay out among friends
But the way it’s turned out
all seems to reflect what we all now:
You’re my only one
You’re my only one
Don’t say that you’re sorry,
this is only spare change
it’s one of the few things
you came to neglect
In time maybe, but now you’re my only one
And it’s oh so real:
you’re my only one
I don’t tell you how to feel
but you could find your home with me
So please be moved
by this scarred,
bruised and beat-up old heart
yhat pounds your name
At times we say sad things
that we don’t want to hear
But all of those sad things
they disappear when you walk by
You’re my only one
At least I tried...
You’re my only one
I won’t tell you how to feel,
but you could find your home with me
You’re my only one
You’re my only one
You’re my only one
You’re my only one

Anniversary
02:43
|
|||
I won’t say that I’m angry with you
or that I still care
I could even act polite
and say I like your hair
But don’t tell me that I’m fine
Whatever I feel now, it’s just mine
Mm, I know that time has passed
and now I should move on
But today it’s seven years
To me that’s just too long
So don’t tell me that I’m fine
Whatever I feel now, it’s just mine
It's all mine
I just wanna go out drinking
I just wanna go out drinking
Please take me out drinking
But I raise my stiff-lipped scotch
to an anniversary that was lost
