1.	Bad Timing 04:21	lyrics	buy track
#1 Bad Timing Hey, you swept me off my feet I wasn't ready for it please don't turn away Babe, we were children at out meeting But we grew a little each and every day. I left you out a rose by the stairs Told you things I'd long kept to myself I guess in love you caught me unprepared For the devil's greener grass, bad timing bared. She said, "I've never felt this way" I told her, "Babe, I feel the same" We had everything It's such a long way down from here, bad timing babe. Wait, life is mine i won't feel cheated, But i do declare it always felt like fate Babe, i was young and undefeated, Much too young to really keep and honest name. I didn't know my soul was on the line Met the devil laughed into his face I called the gypsy, told her she was right As the devil led me on, Bad Timing rides. She said, "Can I trust you babe" So i told her everything She tore a little bit And the devil led it on, bad timing ripped Rain, the smell of falling leaves Like lovers trampled under feet it seems to me Babe, I've never felt so self-defeatist For after all what's the world without you dear? I should have known I really had it all It's carved into my hands deep in the lines It's written in the stars somewhere I'm sure But the devil led me on, now you're not mine. She said, "You can love me babe, Like I used to love you, But we ain't going back" It's a long way down from here, bad timing blamed.

#2 Goodbye, to all of that: I'm ready to face it; Strip of the tease of my torture. Make the bed And clean the ashtrays too. I've been here for ages. I'd kill for the comfort and warmth. But there's really no use Waiting around for you Goodbye, Bright light, Goodbye, Goodbye, to all of that Katherine, you made me And baby you broke me some. Maybe love's Too brittle to be used. I guess I can fake it, Crack a smile at the drop of a pun. You're cheatin me babe, I guess I cheated on you. Goodbye, Bright Light, Goodbye, Goodbye, To all of that Wash her hair And tell her she look's pretty. Let her know How lucky you've become And if you do your best for her I'm happy I'll try to do my best to move along. I guess on the face it Seems like a foul hand of fortune. The rushes hiss: "There's lovers in the dunes" Wherever that grace is Lover go find it well And after please Pass it on to me Goodbye, Bright Light, Goodbye Goodbbye, to all of that Woman, Woman, I loved you But ain't it hard to play the way we do Woman I needed you Carry on love, do the things we'd do Woman this is for you Carry on love, do the things you do.
3.	Over Again 06:00	lyrics	buy track
#3 Over Again I don't know you anymore But I'm certain of the score The pastor left waiting looks down the nave For strangers to couple that never came Reckless hearts may stumble on Something perfect when they're young The union erases their point of view For you are the other, the other is you Rinsing the dream until it's dry as hay Over and Over and Over again You could let her go if you wanted to You can let her go, like I'll do Never gently will they part Kicking, screaming 'til the last And that which was given I gave it glad You took what you needed, I held none back How to choose just what to think Of the other half of me Your picture is fabled by gleaming past Of all that I wanted but you're not that Rinsing the dream until its dry as hay Over and Over and Over and Over again You could let her go if you wanted to You can let her go, like I'll do
4.	I Feel You 04:42	lyrics	buy track
#4 I Feel You To you I'll make myself very clear I don't expect to speak to you And I don't expect to hear I crawl in crutchless panic Rubbing tar into my knees As i fumble for my pocket-watch What time is it? What time is it? Make it to the alley Bloody hands: the blood is mine If i could run I surely would What time is it? What time is it? I feel you like I feel me And i've been us for Five years and more. Returning to my self again, I feel me In losing half my self again, I feel you. Now you, you know me better The better me and bad Do you want me love, I'm at the door. What time is it? What time is it? Me, I'm like a tudor Lopping heads off I get bored I'm waiting love won't you take me love? What time is it? What time is it? I feel you, like I feel me And i've been us for Five years and more. Returning to my self again, I feel me In losing half my self again, I feel you. Out here in the alley There's methadone for sale I tried to go cold turkey love I'm tired of it, I'm sick of it. For you, You know me better And better's what I am I'm waiting love just a little more What time is it, What time is it I feel you, like I feel me And i've been us for Five years and more. Returning to my self again, I feel me In losing half my self again, I feel you. To you I'll make myself very clear I don't expect to speak to you And I don't expect to hear To you I'll make myself very clear If I ever think of you, you won't be first to hear
5.	You Want, I Don't 06:39	lyrics	buy track
#5 You Want, I Don't: You Want but I Don't And we keep tagging along To those of heart Who rise to loving as a test You know it's bound to fall before the end. We can try to tame But ever it shakes off the leash We can bridle Place a hand upon the steer Whip our crooks and flails And dig our toes in too But it makes no difference If we do. You need, and you grieve While I'm still rambling on The right off man to knock it down To know it stood You know he leaves his pride Among the ruins. I can't try to take The pressure against this restraint Though many rogues I know Will clamour for your heart May this be one Who had his chance at love But it made no differene Did it make much difference to you love. My seat is too deep For you to saddle along Anyway, what I really wanted to tell you was I didn't have the srength to continue My cold price to pay Is to think of you Almost every day. Twist the shackles girl I'll twist the other way And though I don't tomorrow I just may. But it makes no difference Now it makes no difference anyway.
6.	Broken Wings 07:20	lyrics	buy track
#6 Broken Wings: You know of you alone. You know your means. You know your part in it. But you don't know me. Killing time, the bad disease, Alcohol makes sense to me. Most of love's the joke you know. Making love's an easy feat, You break the bed then you push her away. Mostly lovers make it up; You paint the paitent, That's you And she's the drug. As evening's breaking Those of fortune sigh With lover's At their sides, Enclosed In eiderdown, Entwined I live the dream, I never know the time I work for fun and I can fund the life. Yet I feel I'm getting old. Still every day is in the moment babe The friend's I know are so close to me. While I still miss the sunday's And I still crave a home. As evening's looming Those of fortune sigh As one Enrobed In flesh As one In mind As one They cry. How to fly on broken wings How to rise from slumbering How to fly on broken wings Tell I. Mannequins infect the trends, Paper sheets around the plastic limbs: Yet how to find reprieve, When all is done and death is easy? Of her i think. Does she need me at all? Does she miss me at all? Like I do. How to fly on broken wings How to rise from slumbering How to fly on broken wings Tell I.
7.	I Know It's Over Now 03:24	lyrics	buy track
#7 I Know It's Over Now: If I had a dollar for every time I didn't give up If I had a pound for every time I tried If I had a girl on every night I waited for you Maybe I'd see riches in your eyes I know, I know, I know It's Over Now. If I was a bit less in the wrong I'd say you were right If I was a man I'd give it up to you If I didn't hold my foolish pride in such high esteem Maybe I'd be rich much more than you I'm a richer, I'm a richer man. If I had a box of laughter for the dreams I had saved Baby I would spend that laughter over you Maybe I am poor compared to all you have gained But baby I am richer with the blues
8.	Breathing New Air 06:18	lyrics	buy track
#8 Breathing New Air: Throw away the sheets love. Throw away the guns. We did it all in the silent night, deaf to bleeding dreams. I guess that I am not cut out for this, after all it seems; Now the war has come and gone there’s nothing green to keep. It’s not for me, it’s not for friends, it’s for you but you’re immune to teaching eyes that want to prove something you don’t see. Tired of playing fools with you, I don’t mean no offence. Some get tired and some get strange, Me, I’m passed my shelf-age best. I used to fight you. I used to care. Something changed in the melody now I’m breathing new air. Garrisons of lonely eyes stare into the steam. I’m lost between the gaze of them and the engine hot to leave. With heavy shot and powdered eye I’m fighting through the crowds. Really ought to sleep tonight; lay the jailbird down. Though half my heart you took away, none of yours I kept. But that’s ok with me babe, I gave it to the best. Tired of playing fool for you, I don’t mean no distress Something cried in the distance, someone put it down to rest. I used to fight you. I used to care. Something changed in the melody now I'm breathing new air. What’s misuse, just the sense of it - picking holes in stains. Though half I claimed in sentence mine, you’re still inspired to blame. For something hardly recognised by the minor hands of time. Something short with squinting eyes; dwarfed the fate of love. Now you call the shots on this aftermath, with all your fickle friends. When the commander pulls his blade out they say, “god bless little lamb”. No, I won’t dress in my coloured best, with dreams of brick and slag. If love’s a game you can laugh about I guess I’m free at last. Diamonds are forever baby; nothing but the best. I stole around the gauntlet, it left me bleeding from the chest. So throw away the prize love. Throw away the fight. The more you’ve got to lose baby, the more you fear at night.
