I check my watch, it's half past six You stretch your tights and fix your lips I meet the lads at the Rose In June You down a gin and play some tunes At closing time I join the queue I catch your eye - you see me too We spend all evening talking small Then end up in your front hall This is how I feel the morning after With no more music and no more laughter The night before was fast and free But how long will you stay with me? When I wake up I'm next to you Is this the start of something new? Your makeup smudged, your hair a mess I don't feel well, I must confess This is how I feel the morning after With no more music and no more laughter The night before was fast and free But how long will you stay with me? You mumble something I don't hear I just want to disappear I pick my clothes up off the floor And you direct me to the door This is how I feel the morning after With no more music and no more laughter The night before was fast and free But how long will you stay with me? This is how I feel the morning after With no more music and no more laughter The night before was fast and free But how long will you stay with me?

More or less My life had become one big mess She couldn't believe that I wouldn't deceive her Commitment to her was a test Then you came And took with you all of my shame But I began thinking that you'd be no different Same old story again When the only thing holding you back Is the fear that you'll find what you lack There's no benefit in being shy Just relax and give passion a try Aren't you ignoring the reason That's seen the change in this season? The only thing stopping me falling Is the support you have for me Now we're fine But I think she wants to be mine Maybe she's realised just what she's been missing But I won't be falling this time Well there's nothing that I wouldn't do Just as long as it means I'm with you And you know that I'm going nowhere So why don't you admit that you care? Aren't you ignoring the reason That's seen the change in this season? The only thing stopping me falling Is the support you have for me You're calling, I hear you calling You whisper my name in the morning Ever since you've been my lover My life's been in permanent summer When the only thing holding you back Is the fear that you'll find what you lack And there's nothing that I wouldn't do Just as long as it means I'm with you Aren't you ignoring the reason That's seen the change in this season? The only thing stopping me falling Is the support you have for me You're calling, I hear you calling You whisper my name in the morning Ever since you've been my lover My life's been in permanent summer

Really? 03:48
I've been here for all my life It's my home, though I don't know why I had schemes, determined ways To get me out of this city's chains Nobody heard the slightest sound They just shrugged and then turned around Will I be here forever more? Ever further from the dancefloor Is this really all there is? A million miles from what I'd wished I thought everything would change Why does it always stay the same? Despite my tries I'm still here, though I don't know why I had dreams of other scenes Situations so far from these Where are they now? I couldn't tell Maybe right now it's just as well Will I be here eternally? Ever further from my destiny Is this really all that's here? A million dreams just disappear I thought I would be the one To get away from everyone Yes, I wanted so much more Than this painful tug-of-war Never meant to hang around In this cold and shallow town Is this really all there is? A million miles from what I'd wished I thought everything would change Why does it always stay the same? Well, maybe I should just conceed That I want more than I need And I'm meant to hang around In this cold and shallow town Is this really all there is? Is this really all there is?

I've seen people so sure They've found one they're made for And the feelings that they have are so sincere Though they're never certain If that one will hurt them And will leave them feeling emptiness and fear You're the person I need You exist completely Only inside all my fantasies and dreams Is it too much to wish For someone just like this? And through all the failed companionships I've seen I'll just keep waiting for you These feelings fade Just drift away Though I've tried to hide it I cannot deny that She's got everything most anyone could need But my mind will wander And I'm left to ponder Are you waiting in the wings alone for me While I'm here waiting for you? These feelings fade Just drift away Lost in the grey These feelings fade I'm waiting for you These feelings fade Lost in the grey These feelings fade Just drift away Why won't they stay Just for one day? These feelings fade
5.
You talk of our future As if it's been set in stone I err on the side of caution I'm accustomed to being alone While I know the things I do Are not acceptable to you It seems the more I try to stop The more I feel I'm giving up I want to be wanted I strive to be worth it You thought I was thoughtless Then walk - see if I care less Maybe I'm in denial Reinvention is drawing near Well, she's a sympathetic ear Making sense of all I fear And though I know I'm doing wrong I feel I've got to carry on I'm giving up hope of finding perfection I find it hard enough just seeking affection You think it's a joke - then why aren't you laughing? I'm a realist - is that such a bad thing? No giving in, no compromises No giving in, no compromises No giving in, no compromises No giving in, no compromises No compromises, no compromises No compromises, no compromises No compromises, no compromises No compromises, no compromises I'm not the person I once was I've been corrupted by my cause Well, I stopped caring long ago But still emotions sometimes show It's not simple like it was And I think that's just because This is my one state of affairs In a State that's not aware I want to be wanted I strive to be worth it You thought I was thoughtless Then walk, go on - just see if I care less Tell me you don't need me And then I can be free Tell me you don't need me And then I can be free No giving in, no compromises

If you come searching for me Looking for something complete If you come searching for me (Will you find me, will you find me?) Looking for something complete (Will you find me, will you find me?) If you come searching for me Will you find me, will you find me? Looking for something complete Will you find me, will you find me?

You used to be there for me You said that you cared for me I'd never decide in haste But I knew I'd found my place So I put my life on hold And waited for love to grow Well that was five years ago How was I supposed to know? That I'd have to walk away And let the memories fade To lose what I thought I'd found Has twisted my life around Have I been hiding inside myself (Have I been hiding?) Hoping for love to provide my help? Now I can move on Sing happier songs to myself Well, I've had to carry on Confront all the things I've done There's bitterness in my head And words I should not have said Declare that enough's enough When I thought I'd self destruct Think only of other ways Make sure I have better days Have I been hiding inside myself (Have I been hiding?) Hoping for love to provide my help? Now I can move on Sing happier songs to myself If I've been hiding inside myself (Have I been hiding?) And losing you left me overwhelmed Maybe this will be The opportunity that I need Wait for one day Just one more day Things could change (Have I been hiding, have I been hiding, have I been hiding, have I been hiding?) (Have I been hiding, have I been hiding, have I been hiding?) I've been hiding And I've been hiding inside myself (Have I been hiding?) Hoping for love to provide my help Now I can move on Sing happier songs to myself And I'll occasionally think of you (Have I been hiding?) And all the things that we used to do And I'll wonder if I had really tried Would you too? (Have I been hiding, have I been hiding, have I been hiding, have I been hiding?) Would you too, would you too, would you too? Would you too, would you too? (Have I been hiding, have I been hiding, have I been hiding, have I been hiding?) Hiding, always hiding, always hiding from you (Have I been hiding, have I been hiding, have I been hiding?) Hiding, always hiding, from you (Have I been hiding, have I been hiding, have I been hiding?) Hiding, always hiding, from you (Have I been hiding, have I been hiding, have I been hiding?) Hiding, hiding, from you, from you

Tarmac 06:14
We can travel so far and wide Cross the borders, visit cities Journey on and into the night Stopping off when we feel weary But just what do we leave behind? Does it really need defining? Do we learn the lesson this time Or will we just keep driving? Do you remember things we did? What they said when we were kids? We could wave goodbye to this if we don't bother (They're snapping at my heels) Now you're just staring at your 'phone Disregarding all you've known And you're trying to be the same as all the others (I fall beneath the wheels) Distant cousins say it's not right But I feel it getting warmer And the rain, it beats down all night Now there's no such thing as normal Cross the street on foot if you dare Take a step and take your chances Taking in what's left of the air We are so half-hearted Was it me or was it you? Who was the first to tear right through All the things we said we'd do with good intentions? (They're snapping at my heels) And the only consequence Is no inconvenience Yet we'll find the true expense will not be mentioned (I fall beneath the wheels) Am I the only one that's left Who's sticking by the things we said? Maybe one day, but not yet, we'll find an option (They're snapping at my heels) While you're playing with your 'phone Your friends and lovers sit alone Waiting for some kind of home that you can't give them (I fall beneath the wheels) Will there ever be a way We can accommodate this pace And preserve some empty space for all that follow? (They're snapping at my heels) You're just staring into space Because you've never found that place And you've never had the time to really bother They're snapping at my heels I fall beneath the wheels They're snapping at my heels I fall beneath the wheels We're not living our lives We're just desensitised We're not living our lives We're just desensitised We all pine for the past The present will not last We all pine for the past The present will not last

From out of this window A sense of perspective falls in place Can't cope with your tears Forever cascading down your face Told you to leave me The smell of your perfume's faded Another finale We'd never have made it You've got to get yourself your own life Rather than waiting for the good times Don't hold your loneliness to ransom Just know that love is not the answer Where does the time go? And will you ever really know Of all my effort? Personal pride won't let it show Draw the conclusion That you weren't meant to be with me And what would it be To truly be carefree? You've got to get yourself your own life Rather than waiting for the good times Don't hold your loneliness to ransom Just know that love is not the answer You won't get half the things you're after If you let loving be your master Instead of living through the bad times You've got to get yourself your own life Time, and time again I've sworn that I'll not fall again Now is the time to say I'll definitely not fall again No Love is not the answer, love is not the answer Love is not the answer, love is not the answer You've got to get yourself your own life Rather than waiting for the good times Don't hold your loneliness to ransom Just know that love is not the answer You won't get half the things you're after If you let loving be your master Instead of living through the bad times You've got to get yourself your own life Love is not the answer, love is not the answer Love is not the answer, love is not the answer (You've got to get yourself your own life) Love is not the answer, love is not the answer (You've got to get yourself your own life) Love is not the answer, love is not the answer

Why be so sad When you've so much going for you? I've never had Someone that's made me feel so new Feeling your warmth Spurs me on 'til the evening Making me sure That you'll be waiting to greet me I've told you before that I'm going nowhere Not taking a step until I know that you're there I'm in for the duration and I'm out for the count Don't want you in moderation when I'm needing you now You're with me now, you're not with him I'll show you how - don't be a victim You know I'm glad To be here living beside you Would it feel bad If I were not here in this room? It took a while To find my way into your mind Now, when you smile I'm sure it's worth all of my time I've told you before that I belong to you If you're treating me right then we've got nothing to lose I'm hook, line and sinkered, and you're reeling me in Drawing me closer to the touch of your skin You're with me now, you're not with him I'll show you how - don't be a victim There's a future waiting for us If you just can give me your trust I've told you before that I'm committed to you If you can't accept that fact then you're blind to the truth The transaction's completed, I've delivered the goods There no chance of a refund - I don't think that you could You're with me now, you're not with him (Not with him, you're not with him) I'll show you how - don't be a victim (A victim, not a victim) There's a future waiting for us (For us, waiting for us) If you just can give me your trust (Give your trust, give me your trust) Leave your problems far behind you (Behind you, far behind you) Why should you doubt how I feel for you? (I feel you, I feel for you) We've a future as an item (An item, as an item) That come together, should you buy them (You buy them, should you buy them) Don't be a victim (A victim, not a victim) Don't be a victim

I waited years just to get this far Overcame fears to get where you got But at what cost to those around me? The things I've lost - sometimes they ground me I'm trying hard to find Some basic peace of mind The words that I have read Divide what's in my head We're running out of room Now let's see you consume Although we never should It's for the greater good I try so hard to be much more than The sum of my parts, but that's all I am So take or leave me as I come shipped But just believe me - at least I've lived I'm trying to find out What this is all about The words that I have heard They all seem so absurd We're running out of time In which to live our lives And yet we do our best To pass this bitter test I don't know who I am Some remix of a man A shadow of myself And no one here to help They're all just wanting more I'm guilty as them all The blind hypocrisy To hide conspiracy The things our fathers craved Just cannot be obtained A wife and family Embrace diversity Well, after seven years You'd think it would be clear I don't know what to do Is it me or her or you? I'm trying hard to find Some basic peace of mind The only things I know Are just the things I'm told The things they taught us then Will be ignored again Just leave it 'til the day We've nowhere left to stay I've tried to let it lie Some form of compromise But I await the day It'll happen anyway They're all just wanting more I'm guilty as them all Although we never should It's for the greater good It's for the greater good It's for the greater good It's for the greater good It's for the greater good
12.
It's so bemusing, with so little time left That you still don't know yet, how I feel I've tried to make it as clear as any headline But short of reading my mind, you never knew We're near the ending of our time together And it's now or never, before we're gone Give in to your feelings For just this evening there's nothing more I've contemplated all the pending outcomes And you know I've found one that's for us But you're spending money as if there's no tomorrow And there is no tomorrow anymore Give in to your feelings For just this evening there's nothing more You're always so misleading For just one evening say nothing more If I tell you soon, will I seem a fool? Or will you agree that it's destiny? Will you think me crude, seeking only you? Or have I not seen that you're craving me? If it all goes wrong, will you be the one Standing there with me, waiting patiently? If we don't act soon, when we leave this room There'll be nothing left Give in to your feelings For just this evening there's nothing more Feelings are deceiving For just an evening think nothing more You're always so misleading For just one evening say nothing more
