Sometimes - written by David Turnhout
She wasn't born yesterday
Never heard a word they'd say
All inside of her head
Thoughts better left unsaid
Life is passing her by
Living that same old lie
She wasn't born with spoon in mouth
Travelled far and then went south
She ended up in a dark blank space
With no money and egg on face
Watching the days go by
Spending the evenings high
Sometimes you end up in the wrong place
Sometimes you hang your head in disgrace
Sometimes you open up the wrong door
Sometimes you get dealt a rough draw
She hit the big time a bit too late
Her past had already sealed her fate
Her memory still lingers on
Lyrics flow in her songs
Now she's seeing the light
And putting everything back right
Sometimes you end up in the wrong place
Sometimes you hang your head in disgrace
Sometimes you open up the wrong door
Sometimes you get dealt a rough draw
With no money or hope at all
You clambered up and took the fall
Seasons past and the sun shone through
Left your mind feeling blue
Sometimes you end up in the wrong place
Sometimes you hang your head in disgrace
Sometimes you open up the wrong door
Sometimes you get dealt a rough draw
Apathy - written by David Turnhout
That hot summer sun
Everybody's on the run
Except me and my apathy
Cool summer breeze
Putting everyone at ease
Include me in that company
It's hard to do something
When you can't even begin
Took my troubles to
A bottle of tonic and gin
Gotta get my mind out of this rhythm
And make it through another day
Struggle out of bed early in the morning
Put me on some Valium
Then leave me with my own apathy
Got out the door
And couldn't walk anymore
Left me with some lethargy
Demons in my head
Come at me in my bed
Don't need any sympathy
It's hard to do something when you've got nothing to lose
So I turn my back and make another excuse
Gotta get my mind out of this rhythm
And make it through another day
Struggle out of bed early in the morning
Put me on some Valium
Then leave me with my own apathy
I know it's easy criticise
When you've got motivation on your side
They tell me one day I'll be at rest inside
Blue - written by Richard Bradley
If there’s a light, then we’ll find a way
If there’s some space, then we’ve got room to play
In my mind, I was hoping you’d stay
You’re the reason that I’m here anyway
If you’d only look at me like I see you
Would it help you at all if I dressed in blue
I live my life just one day at a time
And I’m trusting it will fall into line
And I don’t question the point of yesterday
If you’d only look at me like I see you
Would it help you at all if I dressed in blue
It’s taken all this time for you to see things straight
When you make up you’re mind you might find out that you’re too late
So I’ll just wait as long as I can
I’ll watch the fall of each grain of sand
I’ll take the knocks, then I’ll come back for more
You’ll name your price, and I’ll pay it for sure
If you’d only look at me like I see you
Would it help you at all if I dressed in blue
It’s taken all this time for you to see things straight
When you make up you’re mind you might find out that you’re too late
Circling - written by Anne Rijnink
Why are we circling around?
Upwards downwards at the same time
Secretly reaching for that crown
Collecting reasons to be down
Why do we live like we're drowning
Have everything except time
And everybodys saying, "common let your hair down
And you'll be fine, I'm sure"
Challenge the ones who live above
Hinder their guidence to your love
You found linked lines and cut them off
So now you're only free but also lost
That's why you'll live like your drowning
Have everything except time
Like everybody’s saying, "live a little sometimes"
But I don’t live that way
I guess we're circling around
Something's substantial, quite profound
We think we’re lost when we are found
That's when the earth becomes the ground
Why don't you just wander over now
Cos I don't think you've lost
Or just wait untill you're slowing now
You will find out when you're done
You will find out when you're done
You will be there when you're done
Cynic - written by David Turnhout
Sit back in your corner
And let your life pass you by
Master of the back chat
Your rumours are a seething lie
All we ever wanted to do
Was try a little something new
Candid sour comments
Made to have a deep impact
Observe don't get involved
With anything laced with fact
Build them up and set them down
You're old and have no one around
Cynic you're a critic
Destined as a background voice
Cynic it's pandemic
Deal with life you've made your choice
Painful when you look back
A long life full of loss and regret
Easy to linger on
Past events and their effects
Target positivity
And twist to hostility
Cynic you're a critic
Destined as a background voice
Cynic it's pandemic
Deal with life you've made your choice
Everywhere I go
There seems to be
Another cynical casualty
Cynic you're a critic
Destined as a background
Cynic it's pandemic
Deal with life you've made your choice
Don’t mind you - written by Anne Rijnink
I wonder why, You turned away
I wonder why I’m left to stay
How am I wrong?
I've been trying to be strong
I wished you’d never turn away
Yes we got told, in order to be old
"Go put on boots and run away"
Well, I was there
and yet my feet were bare
I watched you turn and run away
I don’t think you see it all from here
I don’t think you had any idea
Why do you dance on table tops?
Why don’t you drink until you’ve had enough?
Why don’t you wash your mouth with soap?
It’s like I’m seeing things that lovers don’t
I don’t think you see it all from here
I don’t think you had any idea
I didn't stay
I didn't ask for change
But I don't mind it this way
But I don't mind it this way
And when you came around again
I had to refamiliarise, calling you friend
They say don't love 'cos love will die
Lucky for us the view is nice from after-life
But I don't mind it this way
I don't mind it this way
I think I like us this way
Wrecking Ball - written by Mat Charles
Oh oh Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh Oh oh oh oh
From the mist of everyday existence
A floating glowing light, an angel
From the dry desert sand an oasis
Rises from the shimmering, is it real
As familiar as a dear old friend
Yet a stranger from which you cannot defend
Oh oh Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh Oh oh oh oh
Calling from the door to the candy store
Only to impose her will with the dentists drill
Lays you softly on her bed, a bed of nails
You can’t move for fear of being impaled
She begins with sweet whispers in the air
Suddenly a screaming banshee in your ear
She’s an angel and she loves you
You begin building great halls
She’s the devil and she hates you
Vengeance is her crying call
Strapped on, she won’t fall
Demonic angel riding a wrecking ball
Strapped on, she won’t fall
Demonic angel riding a wrecking ball
My lover
Never my true friend
My power
Looking for my weakness
Oh oh Oh oo oh oh
Oh oh Oh oh oh oh
Taking joy in the battle, fighting
Some previous injustice, but the winning
Never seems to bring the inner peace she needs
Looking like she’s in it for the long haul
On;y to follow the first piper
To rub two coins between his sugar fingers
She’s an angel and she loves you
You begin building great halls
She’s the devil and she hates you
Vengeance is her crying call
Strapped on, she won’t fall
Demonic angel riding a wrecking ball
Strapped on, she won’t fall
Demonic angel riding a wrecking ball
Storm Brewing - written by David Turnhout
Why, oh tell me why?
I feel so low
when I should be high
Is it content
That I feel
Before I die?
Something’s brewing
I don’t know what.
Invade my house
Steal my mind
Some of these things
Don’t feel that fine
Something’s brewing
I don’t know what
All the planets
They align
Coming, coming, coming down
Haunting, haunting like a smile on a clown
Feel it, feel it drawing near
The storm, the storm before the clear
Near, don’t draw too near
From afar it all comes clear
The world is turning
While it’s burning
When I am near
It’s a nightmare
When hell comes a calling
You should heed
This final warning
We all go out
And don’t come in
The clouds are gathering
And it begins
Coming, coming, coming down
Haunting, haunting like a smile on a clown
Feel it, feel it drawing near
The storm, the storm before the clear
New Song - written by Mat Charles
It’s a cold and dreary night, outside it is raining thunder and lightning
I love the rolling thunder, lying here watching, the sky is giving
Back to mother earth the life he has been given
I realise the simple truth, the earth and sky they are lovers
As the wind blows the rain it kisses the window, I watch the water
I begin to wonder how it would be sharing in your kisses
Would you give yourself easily to my touch
I realise the simple truth, you and I we should be lovers
I live for the highs, as you smile at me from under your eyes
The bells have rung, calling us to sing this new song
C’mon, C’mon C’mon, C’mon Join me in this new song
C’mon, C’mon C’mon, C’mon Join me in this new song
I sit here watching you amazed by how much I have learned
Yet I want so much more, here stands you and I, it’s just hanging there
What we could be if we lose this love of fear
We should dance sometimes, I wish we were lovers
I live for the highs, as you smile at me from under your eyes
The bells have rung, calling us to sing this new song
C’mon, C’mon C’mon, C’mon Join me in this new song
C’mon, C’mon C’mon, C’mon Join me in this new song
Now you are standing beside me, I’m trembling, excitement awaiting
Longing for your kiss, the touch of your hand leaves my heart just singing
Even not knowing how this song will end
We should dance sometimes, I wish we were lovers
I live for the highs, as you smile at me from under your eyes
The bells have rung, calling us to sing this new song
C’mon, C’mon C’mon, C’mon Join me in this new song
C’mon, C’mon C’mon, C’mon Join me in this new song
C’mon, C’mon C’mon, C’mon Join me in this new song
C’mon, C’mon C’mon, C’mon Join me in this new song
Floating - written by Anne Rijnink
We are just two people stuck in one old rubber boat
Slowly dying from starvation but we're not alone.
When the night is cloudy and our noses have turned red
Our old boat will keep on floating right until we're dead
The heavens, they are staring down with condescending eyes
Our soft rubber won't protect us if thorns rain from skies.
Why will we keep on floating and floating?
For how long will the waves refrain from drowning us?
We are just two people that are slowly drifting by
Unaware what is around us and the time flies by
But spiteful winds hate confidence, make smiles turn upside down
I am wary of my balance so I will not drown
'Cos, waves they'll keep on rolling in remind us we're alive
My few seconds of forever for now pass the time
Why will we keep on floating and floating?
For how long will the waves refrain from drowning us?
Why will we keep on floating and floating?
For how long will the waves refrain from drowning us?
Why must we live like we're holding on to something
When everybody knows we're going to part
We might as well be happy we're alive and we are free
'Cos with you I feel happy
