Boo Hoo
When you’ve bitten off a little more than you can chew
When all the planets align to point their dirty fingers at you
When exhausted avenue leaves you wondering what you’re gonna do
Don’t get down get the sound twist it round and and make it work for you
Ah hoo the whole world has turned cold
Ah hoo left with rust instead of gold
Getting old you’ve been told bought and sold Boo Hoo Boo Hoo
When the plans turn to flan and they don’t understand why you
The sum of all these years leaves you nothing but tears why you
Just gotta get out of the rain kick against the grain it’s true
Go and wipe that slate turn the skies from grey to blue
CHORUS

Smells Like London

Smells Like London
She called him from an East End flat
She left a number and a memory
As far away but close as that
Morning conversation and cups of tea
With no warning he drifted away
He got a letter in the post
It was a message from another time
From the place he loved the most
Another daydream of his own design
Romance calling floating away
Like finding a light in the dark
He burns a flame in Kensington Park
What you believe in this is the season
It’s never too late for leaving
And when I see those blue skies
Like when I look in your eyes
These are the days of freedom
Smells like London to me
He paid a visit to the queen
Nothing but headlines and front page news
Slap in the face and so obscene
No swinging sixties just Victorian views
Pendulum swing like pendulums do
CHORUS
How can you tell
Heaven or hell or TV
We buy and sell
It’s just as well that we can’t see tomorrow
CHORUS

Lousy Love

Lousy Love
Lousy love is making me sad
A break in connection and the things that we had were just
All blown away in the wink of an eye she said
I don’t believe anymore
There’s nowhere to hide when your heart’s on the floor
I still don’t know if she
Loves me she loves me not
I just want to say that she just forgot to remember
The things that are lost and now
I don’t believe anymore
I’m crazy and restless and I don’t know what for or five
Nights in the past week
Walked out the door left me lonely inside
Now I’m not so sure as I swallow my pride
This lousy love is all I have left
I can’t help remember I’d rather forget go away
Does she me she love me not
I just want to say and now I’ve forgot to remember
As I count the cost and now
I don’t believe anymore
There’s nowhere to hide when your heart’s on the floor
I still don’t know for sure
Lousy love
Lousy love ….

Weatherman
Weatherman says it looks like rain
Newspaper headlines gone insane
The governments got its back against the wall
Take a ride on a 37 bus
From Timbuktu to Colombus
You’re living of the fat of the land
The devil finds work
For idle hands to do
Preacher man heals, the audience squeals
TV station wheels and deals
So busy makin’ money you’ve forgotten how it feels
To be in someone else's dreams
To figure in the scheme of things
Living off the fat of the land
And the devil makes work
For idle hands to do
You and me
It’s raining in our world
Better run for cover when the storm clouds hit
Stick to one another give me just a little bit of
Helter Skelter emotional shelter
Weatherman says we’re all insane
TV dinner in my brain
And everybody’s got a choice to make
When you’re dancing on the wire
One step backwards funeral pyre
Living off the fat of the land
And the devil makes work
For my two hands to do
CHORUS
Get a life get a pretty little wife
Get a job and live the lie
You're a family man you've got responsibilities now
Singing and ringing in the old school choir
Heaven and hell and wheels of fire
You're a shell of a man
And God only knows how
You and me
It’s raining in our world etc

Get It Together
Trying hard to see the future
In the palm of our hand
The writing’s on the wall
The writing’s on the wall
And when you hear about my problems
If you look at history
The writing’s on the wall
The writing’s on the wall
And if we thought a little bit about it
Well we wouldn’t think twice
And if we coulda done a little something
Well that’d be nice
We get it together
We do it so well
Floating on cloud nine and I say…
Writing’s on the wall
Writing’s on the wall
And if we thought a little bit about it
Well we wouldn’t think twice
And if we coulda done a little something
Well that’d be nice
We get it together
We do it so well
Floating on cloud nine and I say…
Put it down to good vibrations
Get it together
We get it together
We get it together
We do it so well
Floating on cloud nine and I say…
Get it together…

Sadhead

Sadhead
Here comes Sadhead all forlorn
Sleeps till midday tattered and torn
Dreams of washing machines and black limousines
Keep him happy for a while
Bloody carnage scenes and dirty magazines
Faraway eyes and a prozac smile
Where will you go
What do you know
What’s behind your eyes
What do you see
Who will you be
What’s behind your eyes Sadhead
Jesus Christ tell me what’s wrong now
Everything is all downhill from now
Did you ever think that the kitchen sink
Would hold a fascination for you
Wearing your mothers clothes as you powder your nose
Are there others around who feel the same way too
CHORUS
Dreams are made dreams are lost
Dreams are everything
You and me we’re the same
Know what I mean
Know what I mean
Once was a time far away
Everything’s all right now
You’ll get to sleep somehow somehow
When everything is falling apart
And nothing is on the mend
When the slightest touch can break a fragile heart
Just close your eyes we can all pretend
CHORUS

Timeframe
Think of how the proposition stands
You and me in far off foreign lands
Heading for the border
Stealing through the night
I'd climb the walls to reach you if you cared
No mans land is out there waiting
And I'm scared
Shadows in the treeline
Footsteps in the snow
Moving like a feline
Best if you don't know
Fourteen hours from nowhere
Caught up in a timeframe
They hold all the photographs as proof
Fourteen hours from anywhere
Is far enough from somewhere
A blow by blow description of the truth
I'm looking out for ways to make you see
Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
Acting like I'm crazy
Feeling like a child
Propaganda, supposition
I'm wired and I'm wild
CHORUS
Falling
Think I'm falling
Round and round we go Oh
Hanging by a thread
Or is it in my head
Sometimes I just don't know
CHORUS

Life In A Day

Life In A Day
When we step out together
In the sunshine
We can see forever
Miles and miles away
Two birds of a feather
Flying in a straight line
With our new umbrella
To keep away the rain
Living your life in a day
Where the grass is always greener
Dreams and talk and come what may
It all comes down to you
Cyan clouds above us
Magenta skyline
Nothing else can touch us
As we drift away
CHORUS
And when we dream we can dream together
And the things we see we will see forever
You and me we can’t help feel this way
CHORUS

Sugar

Sugar
Don’t call me sugar she said
She said baby I don’t love you anymore
I let her mess with my head
One crystal rush I woke up melting on the floor
You got a way with my heart
You got a way with my heart
It’s been a long time coming
Caught with your hands stuck in the candy jar
My sticky sweet darling
One taste too much just goes a little too far
Don’t call me sugar she said
Don’t you go changing my mind
Dripping excuses just won’t cover up the lies
Best just to leave it behind
Thirty six flavours that no one will ever buy no
You got away with my heart
Yeah You got away with my heart
It’s been a long time coming
Caught with your hands stuck in the candy jar
My sticky sweet darling
One taste too much just goes a little too far
Don’t call me sugar she said
It’s been a long time coming
For my sickly sweet darling
It’s been a long time coming
Caught with your hands stuck in the candy jar
My sticky sweet darling
One taste too much just goes a little too far
Don’t call me sugar she said
Don’t call me sugar she said

How Does It Feel

How Does It Feel?
Why do we get so high?
It’s in your eyes that blue blue sky
You can see just you and me
Screaming floating crying flying away
So how does it feel to be
How does it feel to be in love?
How does it feel to be
How does it feel to be in love?
Look around you can eat that sound
The sound of strawberry the scent of roses in bloom
Tell me why baby please don’t cry
Just slip away through space and time and space and time
CHORUS

Maybe Love
Let me tell you all about my life
Let me tell you everything you need to know
Wake up from your dream
Things are better than they seem to
Have a way of dragging you inside me
Inside you ya know
Let me ask you all about your life
Are you happy and what do you have to show
This is all you have to know
There’s a better way to go on
Trying crying dragging you inside me
Inside you ya know
Maybe love is a three ring circus
Maybe love is a trampoline
Maybe love is the only thing
Maybe love is just all we need
Saturday night and Sunday morning
Come together in one day
Can I get back to you
Tell you what you oughta do it’s
Now or never or forever
Maybe just maybe ya know
CHORUS
If you know what I’m saying
If you believe in me
Look and see
CHORUS
Maybe love
Maybe love
Maybe love
Maybe love...................
