Standing in the Rain

Meet me in the morning she said, when there’s no one else around,
Ah Ah Ah
Bring everything you need, we won’t be back here after we leave,
Ah Ah Ah
It happened every time, I saw her face
It happened time, her hands reached mine
It happened every time, it happened every single time yea
Ah Ah Ah Ah
Standing in the rain, washing over and away, Ah Ah Ah
Standing in the rain, on that morning but she never came, Ah Ah Ah
It happened every time, I saw her face
It happened every single time, her hands reached mine
It happened every time, it happened every single time yea
Standing in the rain, and she never came, left standing in the rain
In the dead of night, they kicked down the door
Someone heard you scream, there was blood on the floor
No one’s seen you since, but we know what they do
How could we let this happen, how could we let this happen to you?
Standing in the rain Ah Ah Ah
Left standing in the rain Ah Ah Ah
Left standing in rain Ah Ah Ah Ah

Bridges are Burning

What are you doing here, I thought you’d be long gone by now,
after all that you said
How you were too good for me, and all along you knew, sure took your time telling me
Since you’re here, I’ve got something to say,
not that you’ll listen to me anyway
You set the fire and the bridges are burning between you and me
You want forgiveness to move on
I’m telling you now, you’ve got me all wrong
You want me to set you free
That’s up to you not down to me, that’s up to you not down to me
Thinking back and I should have seen the signs,
seems to me I was just some kind of compromise
Never about me it was always about you now the bridges are burning, and you don’t know what to do
I said the bridges are burning and you don’t know what to do
So you want forgiveness to move on
I’ll tell you again, you’ve got me all wrong
You want me to set you free
That’s up to you not down to me, that’s up to you not down to me, that’s up to you….not down to me
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Argh

Let's Pretend
03:07

Time is running out, for me. Storm waters flooding in you see
Washing all that’s gone before. Wash away then I’m gone
Let’s pretend, again and again and again and again
Let’s pretend, I know it’s pointless
But let’s pretend this will never end oh let’s pretend
You don’t need to say a word to me, we’ve everything we need you see
All we are more than we have. Everything within our grasp
Let’s pretend, again and again and again and again
Let’s pretend, I know it’s pointless
But let’s pretend, this will never end, oh let’s pretend
I can’t second guess the next step. What is waiting ‘round the bend, let’s pretend
There will be the same as now. We will meet again somehow
There will be the same as now. We will meet again…somehow

Leaking
02:46
|

|
Thoughts and memories are leaking out
Long time buried but now they’re getting through
Somethings that I need to face, things I need to do
No need to worry it’s not about you
don’t need your blessing
I’m gonna take it from here
None of your business it’s not something you need to be involved with
Can’t keep on running, it’s time to face this head on
Can’t keep ignoring the skeletal elephant in the room
No more places to hide, this is way overdue
Thoughts and memories are leaking out
Thoughts and memories are leaking out
Lost days and nights, lost days and nights
Gotta put it right, gotta make it right

Talking to Strangers
05:25

Talking to strangers that resent the intrusion,
a smile on the wind as they hurry by
Alone in the corner again. Alcohol container.
Reddening eyes and a dark, dark mood.
Here I go again
A sound a look and you are by my side
you were my harbour when I fought against the tide
I know we’re not talking. Looks like it’s over
Looks to me like we are heading to hell
Solace in liquid. Definition hazy. I know we’re not talking;
the words elude me.
I don’t know what to say.
A sound a look and you are by my side.
You were my harbour when I fought against the tide.
la la la la la la la la la la la la…..etc.
I know now, it’s all gone wrong.
I know now I’m all alone, all alone, I know now
So I’m talking to strangers that resent the intrusion,
look away as they rush on by
Alone in the corner again. Alcohol container.
Reddening eyes and a dark, dark mood.
Here I go again
A sound a look and you are by my side.
You were my harbour when I fought against the tide.
A sound a look and you are by my side.
You were my harbour when I fought against the tide.
You were my harbour when I fought against the tide
You were my harbour when I fought against the tide
You were my harbour, my harbour, my harbour, my harbour, when I fought against the tide
You were my harbour, my harbour, my harbour, when I fought against the tide
You were my harbour when I fought against the tide.

Odd man Out
03:52

Odd man out, last man standing.
I’m confused, that’s not unusual
She hit hard and I was reeling.
And she cut deep, I was bleeding from the wound
You don’t know, anything about me
You don’t want to know, anything about me
Alone again, no surprise
The wounds they heal, cauterized.
It’s going to be different this time
Gonna be better, better this time
You don’t know anything about me
You don’t want to know anything about me
You really don’t want know anything about me
About me, about me, about me.

What you get
04:19
|

|
I’m not, the man, you seem to think that I am
What is going on. What is going on. What is going on inside your head,
I need to know….
What is it you want from me?
What you get is what you see
What is it you want from me?
What you get.
You try so hard, to bend a shape me, I’m not a toy, a canvas to be drawn
What is it you want from me? What you get is what you see.
What is it you want from me? What you get.
This is what you get. Don’t do something you will regret
I am just a man, that is all I am. That is all that I am
It’s time to stop, to stop and take a look at what we build
and why we’re goin’ crazy
What is it you want from me? What you get is what you see.
What is it you want from me? This is all that you get.
This is all you get
This is all you get
Oooh Oooh Ooohaaahh
Yea; there you go!
