SEAGULLS
Send another mayday
Conditions changing Monday
Go to sleep my angel dreams come true
The monkeys on the mountain
Have built a Cristal fountain
Better get a message back to Timbuktu
There are no dreams worth saving
Close your eyes the tv's pay-per-view
There is no price worth paying
For all the lies that you believe are true
So pack up your jalopy
Hurry make it snappy
The storm is coming in for you and me
In the sea the dolphins snap at you
And cry before they turn and say goodbye
In the sky the seagulls black and blue
The only thing that they can do is fly
We passed another milestone
And crashed into the red zone
But the pressure builds no matter what we do
There are no thieves no virtue
This caravan is everyone you know
We got it all our own way
And opened up the bomb-bay
Shut your mouth boy soldier dreams come true
In the sea the dolphins laugh at you
And cry before they turn and say goodbye
In the sky the seagulls black and blue
The only thing that they can do is fly
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You could've asked me anytime
What was on my mind
But you didn't
I could've told you many times
Just to draw the line
But I never saw the signs
Things were moving much too fast
Some things aren't meant to last
The words just come out wrong
When the feelings are so strong
Cast your mind back a while
Pull an early file from the summer
Under all the happy smiles
There's so many trials and struggles we can't see
We're having so much fun
The dream has just begun
How can things go wrong
When the feelings are so strong?
One of these days you'll come back and make yourself a home
Until that day arrives you'll just be out there all alone
Whatever I say all my words will be lost upon the wind
And I've got to accept that we will never start again
Start again
Chop me out another line
We can cut it fine till tomorrow
Don't know where the money goes
But I know for sure that it doesn't grow on trees
Stay in bed don't watch the clock
Tell your boss you took the knock
Come back where we belong
Where the feelings are so strong
One of these days you'll come back and make yourself a home
Until that day arrives you'll just be out there all alone
Whatever I say all my words will be lost upon the wind
And I've got to accept that we will never start again
Start again
Never start again

MY SECRET LIFE

MY SECRET LIFE
Pressing buttons changing clothes
The buttons press and mercy flows
Giving time to nobody hoping to show empathy
A past a future present tense
On either side a bloodied fence
So find a record flip the groove this minute could amount to truth
My secret life has a past unknown
An island in the no-fly zone
My secret life is warmer than the cold inside of you
Burn the records scatter clues
Seconds hide a bitter truth
My bed is cold this amp is warm this guitar speaks after I'm gone
My secret life has a life its own
A person I have never known
My secret life is warmer than the cold inside inside inside of you

PROMISES
Look at all these angels look at all these fools look at all these kids trying to make some new rules
Keeping out of danger sticking to their dreams from the gutter to the open sky there's nothing to be seen
But promises you can't buy and promises you can't keep
Promises will make you laugh and promises will make you weep
No-one's got the answers but we all know the truth
We cut down all the trees and found a dragon's tooth
Out of sight horizons and love exchanged for gold
We want to live forever but can't stop growing old
And promises you can't buy and promises you can't keep
Promises will make you laugh and promises will make you weep
But life is built on promises
And time is running out
I've made a promise I can't keep the future's turned a funny shape this sunset warms a memory that turned to ice inside of me
Blue and yellow fuchsia gold the beauty as the day gets old
I'm trying hard to forgive myself for all the stupid lies I told
But life is built on promises and time is running out
Take your broken promises cause love conquers all

Long ride hold tight
Nothing lasts forever but the sky
Just know no fire
Can burn much brighter than your life tonight
I spy game-time
Another bad moon rising in your eyes
Leave now take flight
Follow last year's seagulls to the sky
Throw down your gun
Take another crack at the sun
Your last day is miles away This journey's just begun
Keep chasing down your dreams
There's no second time around
Don't wait for permission
Or get your feet stuck in the ground
Your done likewise
With going out each morning in disguise
Looks like clear skies
Let's get these wagons rolling while it's dry

SUNDAY MORNING

SUNDAY MORNING
Waking up on a Sunday morning
Papers didn't come cold breakfast on my plate
Thinking back only yesterday she loved me
Never mind she took the pictures that I hate
And she said it was me
But I didn't agree
Well at least it's communication
Starting at the end
Going back to being friends
Anyway that's the situation
Looking out over Sunday morning
All night long the rain's been falling down
Draw the blinds and the light comes streaming into my eyes from the Sunday morning sun
Take a ride down to the beach
Things aren't so bad after all
Like the sun love seems out of reach
Just like love I feel I'm bound to fall
Looking out over Sunday morning all night long the rain's been falling down
Draw the blinds and the light comes screaming into my eyes
From the Sunday morning..
Sleeping alone in a world of your own fabrication
Can give you the feeling that nobody cares what you do
You'll get through the week if you keep fighting the freak in your imagination
Don't forget that the Sunday morning sun shines for you too

IN MY HEAD
Late one night I heard your voice come to me
I could not tear myself away
But I know it's all in my head yea
I know it's all in my head
Now I can't let go of you
Nobody can ever take me away from you
I know it's all in my head
I know it's all in my head
But wait and just listen
To these words from the past
So much spark and fission
Such a fire can't last

FOR SO LONG
Something tells me this is not the end now
As you turned you told me to let go
My head is so full of you it's like you are me
Hold me like a bird won't fly away
Call my name you know I'll run to find you
And I'll fall into line with all your dreams
Time is a lonely affair and dreams can fool you
Sail on and your life can drift away
And I've been yours for so long
I've been yours for so long now
Don't you think that you could love me
I've been yours for so long
Maybe it's all left to win or be without you
Don't think I can stand another day
Cause I've been yours for so long
I've been yours for so long now

KINDNESS
I'm gonna fill up the car with all this stuff that I don't need
And take it to the tip down-town
That book on how to grow all my own food from seed
Won't be any good to me now
Though it won't be the answer
I know it'll give me a little more space
Don't you believe in kindness any more?
When did you stop caring about the truth?
What gave you the reason to open your door
To let the cold air of these lies freeze you?
Let's fill up the bus with all these freaks that we don't need
And drive it off the end of the pier
This sacrifice I'll make for us so you don't bleed any more than you fear
No it won't be the answer
But at least it'll get us a little more space
Don't you believe in Kindness any more?
When did you stop caring about the truth?
Did you lose your reason and open the door and let the cold air of these lies freeze you?
Why don't you believe in kindness?
Someday you'll be sorry
Someday you'll be sorry
Someday you'll be so sorry

TOO LATE
You take a book off the shelf
Order fairtrade coffee find a seat by yourself
While I'm still catching my breath
I take a step towards you but you're with someone else
And I'm tired I don't look great
I was so sure you'd hang on for me
But I was too late
I'm done with blaming myself
I turned a brilliant corner now I'm good for my health
I'm reaching for the future and my feet feel the grass
I'm rewired finally straight
Feeling so sure you'll come back for me
It's never too late
Another time we're always going somewhere
Past the signs along the path to nowhere
There's no defence from the soul
I'm staring at my pizza till my coffee is cold
We took the Earth for ourselves
Put Mother on the market but she'll beat us by stealth
She's on fire heating debate
Swear on the stars we could have had it for free
But now it's too late
