Lyrics

Love is like a wild lake
Looks pretty from a distance
Kind of a shock when you first jump in
Then it feels amazing
Let its depth support you
Not overwhelm you
Love is like a wild lake
So there we go

Grief is like a mountain
First impossibility imposing
It looms right over everything
Oh it can block out the sun
Later more like a companion
A landmark in the skyline
Grief is like a mountain
So there we go

And you are like a campfire
I’m Iike a guitar
Together we make magic or ashes
Some things are like other things
So there we go

Life is like a nice hotel
You’re just borrowing a room for a while
Kinda lucky … Read the rest

Lyrics

Hidden in your house is a button
For use in an emergency
You’ll find it at the back of a cupboard
Or behind the washing machine

You’ll know it when you see it it’s the one that says
‘Everything goes back to normal’

When it’s all going wrong around you
And you’re not liking what you see

Push the button
Push the button
Push the button
And it all goes back
Push the button
Push the button
And then everything goes back to normal

When you get it wrong it’s a disaster
So don’t touch it ’til you’re 18
There is no instruction manual
So you’d better listen to me

The first thing you do is ask someone politely
“Please could things go … Read the rest

Lyrics

I’ve been having childish thoughts
About doin’ it with you
We could break this silence
With the noises of youth

I’ve been having childish thoughts
I think you’ve had ’em too
Calls of nature
Are what your mind is turning to

Some say ignore them
They need to learn
But I often return to these

Childish thoughts
What am I to do?
Deep down I’m a child too
All these needs and I long to be held

These childish thoughts keep changing me
But I like things as they are

Some say ignore them
They need to learn
But I often return to these
Childish thoughts

Every new life starts with one little death
And I’m afraid to face mine
They creep into … Read the rest

Lyrics

I’ve been captured
By a powerful organisation in California
They caught me unawares

Now I’m caught I don’t know where
And time takes on a dull veneer of blue
Confused and astray
I made for easy prey

I’ve been captured
Now everywhere they lead me by the hand
Some days I blame myself

But I really never stood a chance
Well organised, determined and financed
They wore me down til I was glad
To give them everything I had

Often I wake and I don’t know where I am
Just waiting on the promise of release
I am made of sleep
Of memories and fragments of an old dream

What value is this life
When your mind is not your own
I’m never … Read the rest

Lyrics

Meanwhile in the real world, it takes work to be in love
And after the head-rush, can you give it enough?
Strong hearts are steady, they’re not skipping or stopped
Are you gonna keep me around?

How quickly time with you seems to stand still
We walk on water and we fall in as well
But even on those days, maybe those most of all
You keep me around
You keep me

Around though I cause you all kinds of trouble
And the moment comes and goes
But deep down we always know
If you could be my mirror
And I could be your lookout
Will you keep me around

You shine love like you’re a ball of light
Quick and courageous and … Read the rest

Lyrics

Where does one go
When you’re flat on your back
And feeling so low?
I’m only asking for a friend

When everything’s wrong
How do you face yourself?
Well I guess I wouldn’t know
See I’m only asking for a friend

Me I move straight from one triumph to the next triumph
As you see it’s all wall to wall glory
But I got someone here who really needs to know
How do you move on?
How do you love strong?
I’m only asking for a friend

What if your best
Amounts to nothing
Nothing much at all?
Oh I’m only asking for a friend

Look to the skies
You might see me flying without a care in the world
Cos I’m only … Read the rest

Lyrics

Lately I’ve been dreaming again
Kind of a dangerous thing to do
Last time I ran blind into the darkness
Betting that I’d find the light
Waited for the world to send its riches
To follow me close behind

But the world had other ideas
Other ideas in mind
The world had other ideas
Other ideas in mind

All I wanted was everything
To quiet that voice inside
So with hard work and all I learned
I put it all on the line
Waited for the world to do the decent thing
And give me all I desire

Still the world had other ideas
Other ideas in mind
The world had other ideas
Other ideas in mind

Lately I’ve been dreaming again
But … Read the rest

Lyrics

Hands
You know the ones
End of an arm
Getting all the fun

Hands
Our eyes in the dark
Such potential
For these utensils

Hands
Fourteen phalanges
Made for lending
For breaking and mending

Hands
Hands
These agents for intention

One minute fighting
The next playing

Hands
They’ve got lots to give
Everywhere I look
People do amazing things with

Hands
Can’t someone gimme a sign
I just don’t know
What to do with mine

Hands
One either side
Fingertips
One through five

Hands
Quite a design
I wish I knew yours
Like the back of mine

Hands
Moving nimbly
Primate tools
I got mine for free

Hands
Not always clever
The power to hurt
And make things better

One minute waving
The … Read the rest

Lyrics

So I had this dream
I had this dream
Maybe you can help me
What could it mean?

I was on this big stage
And I’m singing proudly
With ten thousand people cheering out my name
They seem to love me
It feels amazing
And I play as good a show as ever been played
Now afterwards this older guy appears in the room
He’s not my dad but represents my dad
He tells me that he’s proud of me he gives me a hug
And that was when I woke up crying tears upon my bed

So I had this dream
I had this dream
Maybe you could help me
What could it mean?
Ten thousand people
Daddy seems to be proud… Read the rest

Lyrics

No drama
But somebody put me in charge of a child
Though I can’t even take care of my sleepless mind
It all changes now

But no drama
And there’s an ancient feeling growing inside
Some deep yearning for a quiet life
With no drama
No drama
I’m thinking

Trouble
Trouble
Trouble can leave us alone
If it needs me
I’m busy
Trouble can leave us alone

No drama
Save it for the films and the news
Save it for the polling booths
We give all we’ve got

But no drama here
We’ve seen enough to last us a while
Now I’ll take old friends and a bad red wine… Read the rest
