Stick Me on an Island
03:34

Politics in the papers
Politics on the air
There'll be more on repeat later
I can't tell you how much I don't care
Celebrities dancing
Painfully self aware
B-listers prancing
I can't tell you how much I don't care
Stick me on an island
And leave me some toys
You know I'll be fine,man
Away from the constant white noise
Food is competition
It's almost everywhere
Cake test for audition
I can't tell you how much I don't care
I want to be blissfully unaware
I can't tell you just how much I don't care
Stick me on an island
And leave me some toys
You know I'll be fine,man
Away from the constant white noise

Pay it Back
02:10

I've never been a good man
Never favoured right or wrong
Always the outsider
Never needing to belong
I've always been self serving
I've done what's good for me
I control what happens
I decide what you see
Change of heart
Change of tack
Play my part
And pay it back
I had no time for anyone
I was focused on my goal
A grip of death upon
Life's greasy pole
Change of heart
Change of tack
Play my part
And pay it back
Change of heart
Change of tack
Play my part
And pay it back
Change of heart
Change of tack
Play my part
And pay it back

Little Miss Monochrome
Miss lack of light
You turn my whole world
Black and white
There is no colour
To be found
Just shades of darkness
When you're around
You took my Kodachrome
You made it grey
You're like a sunset
On a rainy day

I'm Not the Man for You
02:48

I'm not the man for you
I like the old,tried ,tested and true
I'm not out to bring anything new
I play just what I feel
What I've heard is what I do
I won't reinvent the wheel
I'm not the man for you
I like the old,tried ,tested and true
I'll never be mister innovation
You won't be amazed at my skill
I'm not into social agitation
Three chords are my biggest thrill
I'm not the man for you
I like the old,tried ,tested and true
I don't feel the need to push the limits
I couldn't,if I tried
I don't write songs to please the critics
I don't need to be ratified
I'm not the man for you
I like the old,tried ,tested and true....

The Loneliest Place
02:46
|
|||
|
Just sitting here imagining
Thinking on things we've said
Sitting here feeling everything
Yet hitting no nails on the head
It's hard to tell what you are thinking
'Cos I can't see your face
I can feel my heart sinking
Being almost home is the loneliest place
I may as well read your teacup
I may as well write another song
All of our conversations
Make it up as we go along
I'm a little drunk and belligerently kind
My spirit's on the wrack
I'm not sure what I will find
'Cos I getting nothing back
These days we speak a different language
And I'd rather run a mile
Than be the source of your anger
And the coldness of your smile.

Everything is (not) Fine
02:54
|
|||
|
No one says it's about to change
No proximity alert
No time to dodge the damage
It's gonna hit you where it hurts
We sail along like nothing's wrong
Everything is fine
'Til the moment we are holed
Below the waterline
Everything is fine,brother
Everything is fine
One moment there we are
Safe from harm
Next we're on our knees begging
For the eye of the storm
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
When we're adrift and losing
All that we hold dear
Bad luck hits like an eighteen wheeler
All hope disappears
Everything is fine,brother
Everything is fine
I'm not the man I used to be
I've faded,like a ghost
Of all the things I cannot do
I miss loving you the most
Everything is fine,brother
Everything is fine

Clown
04:54

I know I've said so many things
I know I've hurt you bad
Perhaps it's gone forever now
That special thing we had
Baby,I'm stuck in a hole right now
And no one can hear me shout
I can't move,I can't talk
I can't breathe,I can't walk
I can't see any way out
A lonely lost clown
Sad and sinking down
A lonely lost clown
You don't need me around
I know I pressed the self destruct
Stretched goodwill on the wrack
I know I've always pushed my luck
Now there's no turning back
I threw away those precious things
Turned all the good to bad
I systematically burned it all
And that special thing we had
A lonely lost clown
Sad and sinking down
A lonely lost clown
You don't need me around

Touch

When the lights went out
I asked,what happens now
She said,you don't believe
But we'll get through,somehow
Close your eyes and let it be
You don't need to see
She said,you won't need
Nerves of steel
You won't need to see at all
As long as you can feel
She told me it's a problem
People see too much
You can find what you need
It's all in the touch
Close your eyes and let it be
You don't need to see
Close your eyes and let it be
You don't need to see
Close your eyes and let it be
You don't need to see

An Eye for an Eye
03:16
|
|||
|
Through the spiderweb of wrinkles
To the wispy white hair
My watering eye
Sees the man you once were
Haunted by ghosts
Of a future yet to come
You saw it in the shadow
Of things they've done
You mourn for the children
That you never knew
Time rang out the changes
Took them away from you
When it all was over
Those days left behind
An eye for an eye
Left everyone blind
What are you gonna learn now for tomorrow
