Sitting round like your day is done
Don't you know no time has come
Wasted listless having no fun
I've outgrown my time in the sun
I will waste my time with you
But I know that I won't see this through
Cut me down and leave me blind
Speeding round those railway lines
Bleed me raw and shake me dry
I don't need no breeze to fly
I will waste my time with you
But I know that I won't see this through
I will waste my time with you
But I know that I won't see this through
I wanna be a daydream and forget how to fly
Spend my days chasing girls and getting high
Don't wanna pay my dues just to get by
Anymore
Don't know where I'm going or where I've just been
Acting like a libertine to show what I mean
Don't wanna sit with my record machine
Anymore
Anymore!

There She Goes
03:09
|

There she goes
My lover's walking through the door
There she goes
I watch the ash fall on the floor
There she goes
Spinning another ring of gold
There she goes
I always knew your love's been sold
When you're down
And I'm out of my mind
and you're out of time
Oh yeah

Made in the Shade
04:05
|
|||
Lights all flash around me
Like a motion picture dream
Your dearest friends all saying
I’m living in a scene
I’m feeling under produced
And I’m always overexposed
I haven’t been to bed
Since god only knows
Living well ain't good for you
You know it's plain to see
My face ain't pretty anymore
The good life's killing me
So stay in the shade
We've got it made
Won't you look on the bright side
Stay in the shade
We've got it made
Stay out of the sunshine
We haven’t reached no plan,
Oh that’s just how it goes
If you feel a little early
Well I guess you should have known
I leave my house at ten
I don't come back till four
You know where I'm living
I always lock my door
Living well ain't good for you
You know it's plain to see
My face ain't pretty anymore
The good life's killing me
So stay in the shade
We've got it made
Won't you look on the bright side
Stay in the shade
We've got it made
Stay out of the sunshine

Pop Star

|

I wanna be a pop star baby
Just for a day
Just to see how much those miserable fucks would pay
To see me wear dumb shirts and sing like shit
Pop champagne on their dime and live it up a bit
I wanna stay up late and get my kicks for free
And when I walk into a room
I want all eyes on me
I wanna sing I wanna sing I wanna make em pay
I wanna see young girls with tattoos of my name
So mama take me down
Down to the LA Forum
Or Knebworth or the garden
or baby the Chicago ballroom
I never wanna wake up in the same old place
I never wanna grow up and I never wanna change
I want nothing but stares when I’m walking down the street
I wanna seem like a god to everyone I meet
I never wanna grow up and I never wanna change
I never wanna wake up in the same old place
I wanna be a pop star baby
Just for a day
Just to see how much those miserable fucks would pay
To see me wear dumb shirts and sing like shit
Pop champagne on their dime and live it up a bit

That's Not My Woman
02:23
|

That’s not my woman
Her blood ain't’ red
She runs on misdevotion
Such a lovely woman
But you bruised her
And made her think for herself
Led her to the water
Bled her dry with yellow
Oh no
That’s not my woman
Her blood ain't’ red
She runs on misdevotion
Pushed you for an answer
But her prayer's a dull affair
And her attempts at banter
The tensions flare down her auburn hair
Oh no
That’s not my woman
Her blood ain't’ red
She runs on misdevotion
You don’t love him anymore
Your heart’s been broken on the floor
When you saw him
Kissing a friend of yours
He’s come to apologize
But by this time you’ve realized
He’s not your man
He ain’t what he was before
That’s not my woman
Her blood ain't’ red
She runs on misdevotion

True Age
04:42
|

You said wait cause I’m tired
I said that love never waits for no man
I ran as far from you as I can
You said wait for the right time
You’d keep waiting on a sign from above
I said a man never waits for love
Sometimes I wanna be immortal
I wanna see how true love waits
Sometimes I can't wait till the morning
I wanna see how this night ends
I woke up on the blue line
Maybe two more stops then I roam
Into her garden she'll be home
You said stay in the shadow
I'll indulge this vice with you
You're never out of things to prove
Sometimes I wanna be immortal
I wanna see how true love waits
Sometimes I can't wait till the morning
I wanna see how this night ends
Sometimes I wanna be immortal
Just to see how true love waits
There she waits
Sometimes I can't wait till the morning
Don't you wanna see how this might end?

Stone Age
04:18
|
|||
Every night there’s a voice in my head
Leaving nothing left to say for me
Looking up from the feet of my bed
I’m still singing in the same old key
Cause I've grown up in the same place year by year
And it’s far from where I need to be
There’s no use denying that I got the fear
I’ll be missing all the things I wanna see
So take me back to the stone age
Forget all of the lies we said before it got too late
So take a leap spread your arms and fly
Let’s drown out all our sorrows and talk about tomorrow tonight
Every day there’s a face I haven’t met
Asking who were you when you were with me
I’ve aligned all the lives that I have led
But they fade into a deep blue dream
Cause we’ve crossed a hidden line laid in the sand
And it’s hard to know where buried paths lead
I can’t recall the way we used to make a stand
For the same things you and I tried to believe
So take me back to the stone age
Forget all of the lies we said before it got too late
So take a leap spread your arms and fly
We’ll find more time to borrow and hold out til’ tomorrow tonight
Cause we've crossed a hidden line laid in the sand
And it’s hard to know where buried paths lead
I can’t recall the way we used to take a stand
For the same things you and I tried to believe
So take me back to the stone age
Forget all of the lies we said before it got too late
So take a leap spread your arms and fly
We’ll find more time to borrow and hold out til’ tomorrow tonight

Promised Land
04:57
|
|||
I’ve packed up all my bags
And I’ve drawn up three new flags
And I’m taking you all with me
To the promised land
The streets ain’t cold or dry
They all glisten in the night
And all roads lead back to Rome
To the promised land
Take me home, take me home
To the home you’ve never known
The picture that I’ve painted ain’t too clear
Take me home, take me home
Don’t leave me on my own
The promised land it ain’t too far from here
It’s a place I've been before
No strangers on the shore
The tides are high and gleaming
In the promised land
The girls all know your name
And the boys don’t dress the same
They’re all waiting at communion
In the promised land
The taxi cabs all stand
They all wait on your command
And they know just where to go
To the promised land
If you set your mind at ease
And you listen to my pleas
I will ferry you downstream
To the promised land
You’ll enjoy many a view
From a red hill afternoon
And all boats they sail forever
In the promised land
A golden coin’s the price
For friendship’s silver vice
And you’ll stay with me forever
In the promised land

Hong Kong
02:38

I was watching the sunrise
All alone on a beach
Before my day got too bright
The lights in the bay
They all faded to grey
And I couldn't see colour anymore
Then the wind blew the leaves
Of the trees next to me
And my vision was blinded by green
Come down baby
It ain't too far now
Come down baby
We'll take our last bow
Won't you wait and see
If your gold bleeds onto me
And it washes my blues far away
Come down baby
We'll take our last bow
Come down baby
It ain't too far now
It's an old joke for sure
And I don't mean to be a bore
But this harbour ain't so fragrant anymore
