I CAN'T FIND MY WAY
HOME
I can't find my way home
It's always there when I'm gone
Stuck in time since I moved on
What I've got is what's here
What you say is what I hear
Far away life don't come near
Where I go, I go
and I know where I go wrong
What I know, I know
and I know where I belong
My mind's made up and I know why
Doubts cloud up my blue sky
Seasons change and time goes by
What I've found has changed me
Change is what you can't see
Being home is what found me
Where I go, I go
and I know where I go wrong
What I know, I know
and I know where I belong
Where I go, I go
and I know where I go wrong
What I know, I know
and I know where I belong
ACCIDENTIAL LIFE
Give in to me now I want you
I know the past comes back to haunt you
there are satellites in heaven
watching everything you do
This is a battle that you're losing
and life was never more confusing
now you're looking for a way out
of your accidental life
[Chorus]
But now your life is on the line
you can stay inside but you're out of time
You can't reason in your condition
and now you see life as a mission
maybe I know what your missing
tell me what you're going through
All your problems are distractions
still waiting for the main attraction
and you're looking for a way out
of your accidental life
[Repeat chorus twice]
NEAR YOU
I should get out of this seat
feel the world beneath my feet
strive to see more of the sun
try to change what I've become
Move on up through this down
take this luck and turn it around
I get near you but I never seem to reach you
Somewhere tonight the stars still shine
somehow I've got to re-align
fuelled by the promise of the sun
pulled by the charm this night has spun
Move on up through this down
take this luck and turn it around
I get near you but I never seem to reach you
HAPPINESS
Don't know what I want to do
My laziness'll see me through
Happiness is all I need
The truth is never guaranteed
I'll let my state of mind content me
'til I know where my life has sent me to
All day long is long enough
To fill my head with useless stuff
Wisdom sometimes comes my way
Stolen from the words you say
I'll let my state of mind content me
'til I know where my life has sent me to
My life feels so worthwhile
When I go where you send me
When I can't find a smile
You've got one to lend me [x2]
What I don't see will sometimes find me
The truth is not what love will blind me to
My life feels so worthwhile
When I go where you send me
When I can't find a smile
You've got one to lend me
My life feels so worthwhile
When I go where you send me
When I can't find a smile
You've got one to lend me [x2]
DUMB DUMB DUMB
Its been playing on my mind
I don't want to waste your time
and the thought of you is tearing me apart
Had a name but now that's gone
I don't know where I went wrong
now I'm all alone and drifting in the dark
Take me back to what I know
cos I don't know where to go
and I'm finding it so hard to stay in tune
But it's hard to comprehend
getting closer to the end
and I hope that I'll be feeling better soon
Now I'm just a fading light
but I want to feel alright
and I hope that you can help me through the days
And I find it hard to sleep
cos I sold myself so cheap
do you think about me when I go away
THE TOWN AND THE CITY
Feels good to be here again
in the cool air and the driving rain
in the first light that morning brings
high five to future things
Chance is waiting just outside the door
arrange the space ??se change is heading here for sure
if you can't see it right away
you've got to listen, you've got to listen
don't just walk away
listen for what you're missing
because this light feels alright
The high-rise in the setting sun
progress that has just begun
the new life that tomorrow brings
high five to future things
Motion stopped the wheels from turning round
silence called but I've been tangled up in sound
if you can't hear it right away
you've got to listen, you've got to listen
don't just walk away
listen for what you'ree missing
because this light feels alright
THE SUN SHINES FROM
YOU
Even when the world is grey
I go where I wanna go, I'm OK
Rainy skies don't cloud my mind
I do what I wanna do, do what I wanna do
I don't know anything but I
say what I wanna say, say what I wanna say
Know that I want you
The sky in my mind is always blue
In my world the sun shines from you
Often I know I don't see
The waves of love that wash over me
Your love is a paradigm
For a man just looking for the next cheap rhyme
Visualizing paradise is a
thing I don't wanna do, a thing I don't wanna do
But I know that I want you
The sky in my mind is always blue
In my world the sun shines from you
Life traces the line in space between
What's gone and what's gonna be
Time chases me, my mind races
To find the place where I wanna be
The sky in my mind is always blue
In my world the sun shines from you
Know that I want you
Know that I want you (end)
STRAIGHT & NARROW
You were on the straight and narrow
You were going round the bend
and looking for a friend
Well you took off optimistic
but you landed on your head
and now you're walking dead
[Chorus]
What did you find
In the maze of your mind
Did it feel like the end of the road
Cigarettes they burnt your fingers
you were weak and you were sore
but still you had to score
When they found you in the basement
you were face down on the floor
and you could take no more
[Chorus]
What did you find
in the maze of your mind
did it feel like the end of the road
Didn't need a second warning
When you saw the others die
you couldn't even cry
CUL DE SAC
Should I just keep rolling
all over this town
among the buildings
and amid the sound
feels like I've been wading
this whole season through
motivation is fading too
Got no expectation
no shadow to cast
no reputation's prepared to last
free to just keep going
and wander on through
the sleeping streets
in the morning dew
and it's no good
Feels like I've been waiting
this whole season through
compensation is overdue
and it's no good
MY UPTIGHT LIFE
The morning sun opens up my eyes
What I see is the same world I know you're seeing
My dreams are real until I realise
Realising's a slow fade from thought to being
The waking world is full of cynics' sighs
Cynicism's a box I don't want to be in
I'll stay in bed until I stabilize
I try to write this song
To move my life along
I know what I dream of
I'll save my life for love
Hidden meanings don't need to hide
When I hide from the world you're the one who'll find
me
They don't need screening from the world outside
If the truth's overdue I know you'll remind me
If the truth police are sniffing out a lie
I've done nothing in life I can't put behind me
I'll use my life as an alibi
Meaning is something I got from you
Whenever I lost the plot you knew
What is it I haven't got
When I've got you
Meaning is something I got from you
Whenever I lost the plot you knew
What is it I haven't got
When I've got you
All my life I felt so uptight
Now it's all right.
IF I NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN
If I never see you again
you will stay in my mind [x2]
We've only got a lifetime [x2]
