Iron Will

Iron will, you think thatāll get you through
Drink your fill, thereās no more that you can do
Rest your frame on me.
Make the most of someone elseās company.
No-oneās gonna judge you.
Will of steel, staring at the ocean in front of you
How does it feel when youāre camped out on the rocks
Watching the tide come in to get you
If you donāt articulate what youāre thinking
How you gonna stop yourself from sinking
Let it all go. No-oneās gonna judge you.
Let it all go. No-oneās gonna judge you.
Why would you settle for this, like it was meant to happen
You should be shaking your fists, not pretending it doesnāt matter
I know it feels safer inside, but whatās the use in living with something to hide
How can you keep that same face, like you have no emotion
I want you to feel my embrace,
but youāre numb from your magic potion
You donāt need to hurt any more
Do yourself a favour, let someone in the door
No-oneās gonna judge you.
Iron will, you think thatāll make things better
Quiet still, not happy with discussing the state of the weather
But this cloud will rain like any other
And an iron will wonāt give you any better cover
Let it all go, no-oneās gonna judge you
Let it all go, no oneās gonna judge you

Sarah, shine your little light on me
Iām waiting in the garden, Iām wandering through the trees so aimlessly
Can we lay down just you and me so I never have to leave
Sarah, come speak your sweet language to me
Come and whisper in my ear so the words you say are clearer than my dictionary
Can we lay down just you and me underneath the willow tree
If I found you here with me, you know Iād never have to leave.
If you sing by yourself I wonāt hear you
I can live by myself, but itās better to be near you.
Oh Sarah can we walk, through the fields, by the stream
Sarah can we walk, just the two of us
The way it was meant to be
Sarah, shine your little light on me
Come find me in the garden, youād fit here in the trees so perfectly
Can we lay down just you and me so I never have to leave.
If you sing by yourself, I wonāt hear youā¦
You know Iād never have to leave.

Molly Mae
03:35

Oh Molly Mae, you look like a simple girl
I like the way you talk and the way you move
But I hate what youāve done to my world
I gotta tell you, oh listen babe,
You got me licking all my wounds
Oh what Iād give, if I could put the same spell on you
Baby I could use you around, but man Iām such a hopeless clown
If you build me a bridge Iāll probably burn it down
Oh Molly Mae, you know Iām just a simple man
Yeah I aināt that rich and I aināt that flash,
But I promise that Iād love you just the best that I can
Believe me, I only need a fighting chance,
But please forgive me sweet, I got two left feet
So donāt you try making me dance
Baby I could use you around, Oh Molly I could use you know
So build me a bridge and Iāll try not to burn it down
Oh Molly Mae I will not do you wrong
Cause girl you know your sweetness wrote this song
Iāll stand in line forever if thatāll take me to the head of the queue.
Itās a damn small price to pay to get to you.
Oh Molly Mae, maybe Iām headed for a fall
Yeah but Iām fine with that, Iāll just keep on coming
My heads never been shy of that big brick wall, oh baby
Iām gonna keep banging away
Till that wall starts breaking, the earth starts shaking
And maybe youāll stop and hear what Iām saying
Baby Iāve figured it out, just as soon as that wall comes down,
Iāll build us a bridge we can follow it right out of town
Baby I could use you around, oh Molly I could use you now
So letās build us a bridge, we can follow it right out of town
Iāll build us a bridge, we can follow it right out of town
Yeah Iāll build us a bridge we can follow
Right out of town.

Love Potion
04:53
|
|||
|
Iām not a soldier, Iām not a saint
And just some combination of these things Iād like to think I aināt
Iāve spent a lifetime trying to get to know myself
Now Iāve gone and put that person on the shelf
Cause you make me wanna drink that love potion
Like it was going out of style
Iād come for you across the greatest ocean
Just to hold you one more time
Iām not a loser, Iām not a star
I guess Iām somewhere in between those two
but I aināt ever sure how far
Iāve spent a lifetime trying to work these damn things out
But I could learn to love the middle ground with you about
Cause you make me wanna drink that love potionā¦.
One more time.
One more time.
Now nothing can hold me down, cause this feeling just hangs around
And Iāve had this dream before, but I donāt wanna sleep no more.
Cause you make me wanna drink that love potionā¦
One more time.
One more time.

Crossfire
04:53
|
|||
|
I left my heart in the open again
Now Iām running out of breath in the land of no man
Will I be caught in the crossfire, caught in the rainstorm
I got myself in a bad place again,
Now Iām running in the dark, down a street with no end
Donāt wanna be caught in the crossfire, caught in the rainstorm
Cāmon courage, tell me your name, come and make friends with me
Cāmon courage, come and feed me again, cause this could be the end of me
The end of me
I left my soul in the spotlight again
Now Iām lit up in a field where I can no longer pretend
Will I be caught in the crossfire, caught in the rainstorm
Show me a way I can make this all a dream,
Show me a way I can live here, show me a way I can breathe
Donāt wanna be caught in the Crossfire, caught in the rain storm
Cāmon courage, tell me your nameā¦
My body breathes, but my mind cuts off the air
Honey I wish I didnāt love you, I wish I didnāt care
Looks like Iām caught in the Crossfire, caught in the rainstorm
Looks like Iām caught in the Crossfire, caught in the rain
Looks like Iām caught in the Crossfire, caught in the rain
Donāt wanna be killed by the Crossfire, killed by the rainstorm.
Donāt wanna be killed.

Set in Stone
05:14
|
|||
|
Iām not in love for the first time, and it wonāt be the last.
I used to think weād be just fine
Now those days they have well and truly passed.
Itās not the end of the road yet, but weāre damn fucking close.
Weāll never outrun the sunset
And Iām tired of crossing my fingers and toes.
Cause what we set in stone were borrowed thoughts we did not own
Oh How were we ever meant to see, or ever meant to know.
Cause what we set in stone, we never thought weād be alone
Oh How were we ever meant to see or ever meant to know.
And Iāve looks to the heavens, and Iāve called out your name
I could walk to till the dayās end, but whatās the point when the night is just the same.
Never wanted to judge you, but you gave me no choice
I got nowhere to run to, I got nowhere to fall.
Cause what we set in stone were borrowed thoughts we did not own
Oh How were we ever meant to see, or ever meant to know
Cause what we set in stone, it took us miles away from home
Oh how were we ever meant to see, or ever meant to know
Oh how were we ever meant to see what we never could have known.
All I ever wanted was to take this world and make it yours.
All we ever needed was a ship to take us through that storm.
All those things we set in stone, those borrowed thoughts we did not own.
All those thoughts you take them home
But it never makes it, never makes it easier to go.
No it never, never makes it easier to go.

Wheel of Fortune
04:23
|
|||
|
Yeah Iāve done some crying, been shaken to the core
Iāve cried myself a river and been swept right off the shore
Itās a question of survival, you always gotta swim
For the drowning to stop and the breathing to begin
Yeah Iāve done some bleeding, been stripped right to the bone
Been battered bruised and beaten from my head down to my toes
But the wounds are superficial, the scars they lie within
You gotta search your soul for the healing to begin
I had it coming, way back when
The things that I know now, I wish I knew them then
The wheel of fortune always spins
You just gotta take your chance when the luck rolls in
You know Iāve done my share of digging for the gold
But I looked so god damn hard I only dug myself a hole
Yeah the ending isnāt pretty when you live your life in sin
Trouble takes hold just like tonic in the gin
I had it coming, way back whenā¦
This here aināt the gospel, itās just some things that I know
From feeling the highest highs and living the lowest lows
And I wonāt be finished till Iāve taken all the blood from all the stones.
Oh no.
And I aināt no preacher but Iāll tell you what Iāve learned
Is that time will heal you, itāll fix up all your burns
And the thing about hope is that it lives in every corner of this earth.
Yeah Iāve done some crying, burst open at the seams
Been thrown out on the railroad with the engine at full steam
These are just the hazards of a journey unfulfilled
Slowly but surely, Iām curing all my ills.
I had coming way back whenā¦
When the luck rolls in.

Jigsaw
03:40
|
|||
|
Threw my jigsaw on the kitchen floor,
Now Iām staring at the pieces cause I donāt want them any more
Cause in these puzzling times weāre living in,
Oh I canāt begin to understand what everything is for.
But you walk in the room and that all goes away
Nothing matters when you say my name.
Iāll give you all that I can offer
and Iāll give it up cause thatās the only way.
I can sit and read a book or two,
Or sit and watch the television just shivering at the news
Everybody seems to run around,
And Iām just confounded every day by the silly things they do.
But I can lie with you and dream the world away.
Forget about the fucking ozone rays.
Iāll give you all that I can offer
and Iāll give it up cause thatās the only way.
Iāll give you all that I can offer and I hope it is enough to make you stay.
Oh Iāll give you everything I can, I wanna be a giving man.
Wonāt you take my outstretched hand, and hold it tight, cause girl Iāll make you glad.
I wanna walk until the sun goes down, I wanna dance under the moon.
I wanna take you to the edge of town,
sit on a hilltop eating shitty Chinese food.
And as that breeze blows, weāll giggle as we chew.
Knowing that the stars are there to stay.
Iāll give you all that I can offer,
and Iāll give it up cause thatās the only way.
Iāll give you all that I can offer, please donāt throw it away.
Iāll give you everything Iāve got, be it love or lemonade.
Iāll give you all that I can offer and Iāll give it to you every single day.
Every single day.
Every single day.

Exploring
04:09
|

|
No-one ever told me things could be this way
No-one ever told me what to do or what to say
Oh I woke up cold this morning, thinking of your smile
And thinking of you yawning, made me cry inside
No-one ever told me, things could be like this
No-one ever let me know about the things that I would miss
Oh I woke up cold this morning, thinking of your smile
Do you think that we can go exploring for a while
For a while. For a while.
Oh donāt let this be the end of you and me, can we try
No-one ever told me I could feel these things
No-one ever told me ābout the songs my heart could sing
Oh I woke up cold this morning, thinking of your smile
And thinking of you yawning made me cry inside
Oh I woke up cold this morning thinking of your smile
Do you think that we can go exploring for a while
For a while. For a while.
Oh donāt let this be the end of you and me, can we try.
Can we try. Can we try. Can we try.

Lonely Man
04:54
|
|||
|
Take me in your arms now, cause Iām dying to accept this fate
Spin me while Iām hanging by this thread of yours
Cause thereās always one more twist that I can take.
And though we stand together now,
weāre never on the level ground you see.
When itās all said and done, when this two becomes one,
will you remember me.
Will you remember me.
In your heart Iāll be a lonely man.
But Iāll come running every chance I can.
Every chance I can.
So the time has come again for you, I can just about predict the hour.
The days and nights escape me, another page is torn.
I guess Iāll make them up somehow.
Oh I never went to Paris with you girl, we never got to cruise the Nile
But over all the rapids, we held each otherās hands,
And it was good there for a while.
In your heart Iāll be a lonely man.
But Iāll come running every chance I can.
In your heart Iāll be a lonely man,
But Iām gonna stick it out here for as long as I can.
For as long as I can.
So come into my arms now, cause this could be our final squeeze.
So can we soak it up, can we take a minute
Please

The Birds
04:26
|

|
Look at all the birds, sitting in their favourite tree
Peering down at strangers, clinging to the branches in the ever-changing breeze
And everyone thatās come and gone
Has heard them sing the same old song year after year.
I could climb the highest branch, learn their little nesting dance.
But I still wonāt belong here.
So donāt shed a tear for me, Cause Iāll drift with the falling leaves.
And Iāll float down till I touch the ground, find a place to settle down
Till whenever the wind sets me free.
Look at all the birds, sitting in their favourite tree.
Oh tell me please.
Do you think theyād care if I made them all aware
Of the beauty they never will see.
Everyone thatās come and gone
Has heard them sing the same old song year after year.
I could learn the same lines, chirp away in the confines
But I wanna say no, I wanna let go, I wanna keep breaking the rules.
So donāt shed a tear for me, cause Iāll drift with the falling leaves.
And Iāll float down till I touch the ground, find a place to settle down
Till whenever the wind sets me free.
Till whenever the wind sets me free.
Oh I know itās never always easy, oh I know itās never always fair.
But Iāll take my chances on fleeting romances.
Oh I know itās never always easy, oh I know itās never always fair
But the top of the tree, is never what it seems to be.
So donāt shed a tear for me, cause Iāll drift with the falling leaves.
And Iāll float down till I touch the ground,
find a place to settle down soon
Please donāt shed a tear for me, cause Iāll drift with the falling leaves
And Iāll float down through the canopies
with the butterflies and the centipedes
Till whenever the wind takes me.
Even if it breaks me.
What ever the wind makes me Iāll be. Iāll be.
Oh so donāt shed a tear for me.

The Edge
04:25
|

|
Iāve seen the edge, but Iāve never been this close before.
Iāve hedged my bets just to make it through this crooked war.
Itās tried to hold me down.
But I wonāt be chained to the ground any more.
Iāve seen the edge, but Iāve never been this close.
Jump with me from this ledge, weāll go further than weāve been before.
Listen can you hear now, the old school bells
Ringing through the hallway,
Itās the end of the lesson, the start of the hard sell
Lay down what you know here, and take in what you see
Cause when the clock ticks down to zero, you wonāt be needing me any more.
Any more.
The promise of this beginning could all turn to shit in the end,
But Iāll do it again, and again, and again.
Hope will take you, hope will break your fall.
So come with me, Iām leaving for us all. Donāt try to keep me safe.
Run like the wind my child, weāll leap from this mountainside.
Into a place without concern.
Where the sun will rise and continue to burn.
Away from this angry world that wants you to turn, turn, turn.
Itās tried to hold me down.
But Iāve been here before and I wonāt surrender
buried 'neath the ground.
I just need a song to sing as Iām flying through the air
Cause when the clock ticks down to zero, I wonāt be standing there any more.
Any more.
Iāve seen the edge, but Iāve never been this close before.

Our Time
04:47
|
|||
|
Sitting around this old table, faces washed in from the storm
Spinning your folk tales and fables,
Youāve been perfecting each day since you were born
Some people may judge this here setting,
Some folk may cast their condescending eye
Iāll let them have their opinion,
Cause from where Iām sitting, something just feels right.
For every year I remember,
weāve gathered at this symbol of some previous life
And I know it donāt give you an answer
To why the currency changed when you were still in your prime.
But closure is not why you come here,
That sort of thing couldnāt be further from your mind
We seldom get to spend a night together
But right here and now, this is our time
Our very own moment in time
Sheās a cruel old town that held you down
And threw you away, far away from here.
But you held your neve, you made the changes
That have kept you running, kept you in the clear.
Still we return to the scene of the crime.
But everything is different now, youāve left this world behind
So spare me your explaining, cause Iāll never be complaining.
Sitting around this old table
with the chandeliers and the million dollar views
Itās a silver-plated land that youāre no longer made for
But you still live the life you choose.
No this memory wonāt fade, Iāll keep it with me for the rest of my days.
No this memory wonāt die, I can see it so clearly
This is our time.

Flying
03:29
|

|
Weāre all waiting for something else,
but the best of what we needās already here.
Weāre all standing beneath the shelter,
but that donāt make the rain disappear.
Oh my Lord Iām flying, so high up above the sea.
Oh the sun is shining, shining down over me.
Weāre all waiting for something else,
but we got all the bells and whistles that we need here.
We can hide out underneath the shelter,
but it sure wonāt make the rain ease.
No it wonāt make the rain disappear.
Oh my lord Iām flying, so high up above the sea.
Oh the sun is shining, shining down over me.
Oh my lord Iām flying, so far up above the sea.
Oh the sun is watching, watching down over me.
