The Sweetest Feeling
03:43

|
I couldn’t get to sleep last night
I wish you wouldn’t stay so late
Oh I shouldn’t worry but you know I always do
I guess it didn’t go too well
You didn’t seem to want to tell
Oh you shouldn’t worry cos they’ve got nothing on you
Everybody else gets tired
Everybody else gets blue
Everybody else, not me and you
Still get the sweetest feeling when you smile my way
Just like the sun it rising on a bright new day
Cast off your disappointment and put on your shades
I got a funny feeling this will be our day
Pretend we never met before
I’ll see you in the guitar store
I’ll take me a 330 and show you what I got
And hang around the record shops
You take the jazz, I’ll take the indie-pop
Oh you know that you don’t really like that stuff
Everybody else gets tired
Everybody else gets blue
Everybody else, not me and you
Still get the sweetest feeling when you smile my way
Just like the sun it rising on a bright new day
Cast off your disappointment and put on your shades
I got a funny feeling this will be our day

Hit Town (A.T.H.E.N.S.)
03:43
|
|||
|
I never sneaked into your room
I never read your diary
I never got past chapter one
Of your autobiography
You never made the plane in time
But somehow I made mine
And you never apologise
Because you never do
Still tell me when you hit town
Oh tell me when you hit town
Just tell me when you hit town
And I’ll come on down
You never scaled those city walls
Nobody kicked you in the balls
You couldn’t blame it on the brown
Because you don’t know how
And really honestly
It doesn’t mean that much to me
No, really honestly
It doesn’t mean that much to me
And at the after no-show disco
They laugh til their hearts are full
They never saw you in Athens or Frisco
They never saw you in Instanbul

Try A Little Harder
04:24
|
|||
|
You bought the milk and honey
I spent half of my money
On things I know that we don’t need
Don’t pay it much attention
Did I forget to mention?
Do what I like, I guess that I
Chorus:
Could Try a little harder, try a little harder
Try a little harder, sometimes
Forgot to phone your mother
Went fishing with you brother
I guess it’s never on your mind
You could have combed your hair or
Put on a decent pair of
Jeans but I guess it’s not your style
Chorus:
To try a little harder, try a little harder
Try a little harder, sometimes
Try a little harder, try a little harder
Try a little harder, sometimes
Who am I to give you my advice?
Who am I to criticise?
Every day while we are far away
I’m so happy that you mine
Try a little harder, try a little harder
Try a little harder, sometimes

Reaquainted
03:32
|
|||
|
At a disused swimming pool on the edge of town
On neutral territory, the deal goes down
And a breeze from paradise blows back her hair
She turns to face him, and match his stare
Chorus
As the credits roll, our hearts know
There is nowhere that this can go
Verse
Re-acquainted with the daylight, to my surprise
From a cinema matinee, expecting night
To an empty bar room and an ocean view
Through dusty sunlight, to share our news
Chorus
Back when everything you’d say stayed with me all day
Aint it’s funny how times can change?
Instrumental break
Chorus
As the west wind grows, our hearts know
There is nowhere that this can go

English Weather
03:40
|
|||
|
English weather, please don’t ask
Bring your raincoat, pack your flask
Pitter-patter raindrops on my tent
Morning sunshine came and went
Hey did you read the warnings
Westerlies on the way
Now as the pressure’s falling
Crowds will be on their way
English Weather cool and grey
Hope it stays like this all day
Meet me at the café by the lawn
Knight to F4, pawn takes pawn
Now that the weather’s broken
We’d better stay all day
All that we leave unspoken
Means there’s so much to say
English weather suits me fine
Dark and moody, clandestine

Spirited Away
03:13
|
|||
|
Planned to take the car out west
But the car had failed the test
So we took the bus to Worthing
Tea and doughnuts on the pier
But the sun had disappeared
and there's not too much to see there
Seems like everywhere we go
You're on the radio
I can't believe it's so
Spirited away and hey, I don't believe in heaven
but I say a prayer and imagine thet you're there
Spirited away, they say your songs will last forever
And I'll carry on though a part of me is gone
Every teenage lonely soul
needs a place to go
and you were always waiting
When the world is coloured grey
you spirit me away
to somewhere without questions
Take my place out on the bench
'phones up on my head
and listen to the dead
Spirited away and hey, I don't believe in heaven
but I say a prayer and imagine thet you're there
Spirited away, they say your songs will last forever
And I'll carry on though a part of me is gone

London In Your Eyes
03:58
|
|||
|
It’s hard to write a love song
With a broken heart
It’s hard to write a letter
When you don’t know where to start
Checking through the papers
Checking through the mail
Getting through the morning
Getting through the day
Chorus:
And I knew you’d forget about
The things that I despaired about
And you were never mine
I saw London I your eyes
You never tried to disguise
And you were never mine
Sitting at the bar now,
Trying to be strong
Smiling at the faces,
Trying to laugh along
Go on to a club now
Standing out in line
Getting through the evening
Getting through the night
Chorus:
And I knew you’d forget about
The things that I despaired about
And you were never mine
I saw London I your eyes
You never tried to disguise
And you were never mine

Yesterday is just a heavenly regret
As I stumble out of sleep
But today I’ve responsibilities
And those promises to keep
Chorus
Why don’t you call me?
Winters weighing, heavy on my heart and I
I don’t know why
If your can hear me
I’m here waiting, maybe sending sympathy,
Could get me by
Verse
And I take a little moment to myself
Making snowballs at the bar
Yeah I now I only saw you Christmas Eve
But the New Year is so far
Chorus
Why don’t you call me?
Winters weighing, heavy on my heart and I
I don’t know why
If your can hear me
I’m here waiting, maybe sending sympathy,
Could get me by

You Wrote
03:23
|
|||
|
Gonna take my guitar
Down from off the wall
Play myself those same old songs
Find myself a place down
by the water where the
sun is shining and the wind don’t blow
Don’t know where I’m going
But I know it’s somewhere sweeter than I know
You wrote, “Don’t tell anyone”
But you told just about everyone
I don’t mind, they can say anything
Cos I heard just about everything
That my heart needs to know
Sure as Spring will follow
From the Winter hollow
So I must be moving on
Now’s no time to worry
Let tomorrow judge me
For the path I take today
Don’t know where I’m going
But I know it’s somewhere sweeter than I know
You wrote, “Don’t tell anyone”
But you told just about everyone
I don’t mind, they can say anything
Cos I heard just about everything
You wrote, “Don’t tell anyone”
But you told just about everyone
I don’t mind, they can say anything
Cos I heard just about everything
That my heart needs to know

Two Stars
03:01
|
|||
|
Two stars that shine
On the darkest night
They wait for you and me
Two stars are we
Fighting gravity
Against our destiny
And if you must chase fire
Then I will chase fire too
Across the frozen miles
I’ll radiate to you
Historians
Of the universe
I’ll share my fate with you
For now I’ll wait
While these tiny days
Are thrown away too soon
You know you’re just like me
You know you’re just like me
You breathe the air I breathe
You dream the dreams I dream
One sunny day
I’ll just slip away
To leave my fate to you
Two stars are we
Locked in history
Across the centuries
Across the centuries
I’ll radiate to you
I’ll radiate to you
I’ll radiate to you
I’ll radiate to you
