1.
In Your Head 03:10
lyrics
Doo – dah – dah – day – da- dow They were watching you by the riverbed You had something going on in your head They were aware, they were aware But trying really hard not to stare COS IT’S IN YOUR HEAD IT’S ALL IN YOUR HEAD AND IT WILL NEVER EVER COME TRUE IT’S IN YOUR HEAD IT’S ALL IN YOUR HEAD DON’T WORRY THEY WON’T GET YOU You were fumbling about with your pen Trying hard to avoid all the staring men Your paranoia had taken over If only you could run for cover BUT IT’S IN YOUR HEAD IT’S ALL IN YOUR HEAD AND IT WILL NEVER EVER COME TRUE IT’S IN YOUR HEAD IT’S ALL IN YOUR HEAD DON’T WORRY THEY WON’T GET YOU You know what they said They said you were odd And you knew, and you knew it But forget them I say Just go outside and play Get them out, out of your mind! We were watching as you wandered round your room You were dancing with a beautiful broom But you were happy and it showed on your face So they decided to close your case CHORUS Zow, zow, zow, zow, zow, zow It’s just paranoia taking over CHORUS

Goldfish Bowl 03:41
lyrics
Everything is very new here I’m swimming in a goldfish bowl I caught a glimpse of something unfamiliar Then I ran in to my hole Tinted windows all surround me But it has got a certain feel I might come out and look for a while To see what I can see… COS I’M IN MY GOLDFISH BOWL AND I FEEL LIKE I’M LESS THAN WHOLE SWIMMING IN MY GOLDFISH BOWL AND IT DOESN’T FEEL LIKE HOME Oooooooh Control’s no longer with me I decided to let it be The flow is much too slow I won’t fall onto my knees… I hope But there’s still a hidden meaning Something lurking in the deep It wakes me in the night And visits me in my sleep CHORUS Ooooooh One look takes me down Takes me down a peg and breaks me Leaves me on the floor and makes me Get up again… Broken glass is all around me I am feeling rather limp The table looks much too high I need to get into the sink Oh I am so very thirsty And I can’t see beyond my feet I don’t think I’m getting out of this one Even if I cheat CHORUS Feel like home, it doesn’t feel like home Ooooooh
3.
Walk Away 03:55
lyrics
You told me “don’t be scared of being a failure” You said “just cut your losses and run” But when it’s up to you and their misbehaviour It appears that you’re the only one That never listens to your advice… YOU’VE GOT TO WALK AWAY YOU’VE GOT TO WALK AWAY JUST UNDERSTAND THAT YOU’RE NOT THE ONLY ONE YOU’VE GOT TO WALK AWAY YOU’VE GOT TO WALK AWAY AND WE’LL BE RIGHT BEHIND YOU WHEN YOU’RE DONE You thought that I wasn’t one of the others But really I am just like you I know that I can get what I want to But I’ll fight and fight and fight until I’m through And you were with me all the way CHORUS Cos we’re there, we’re there for you Yes we’re there, we’ll always be there for you And we’ll fight and we’ll preach we won’t let you get out of our reach And we’ll fight for you and we’ll preach we won’t let you get out of our reach BUT YOU’VE GOT TO WALK AWAY MMs So lets go back to the beginning I always looked up to you every day But if you carry on with no real meaning Then please understand that I might stray And look to others for advice CHORUS MMs
4.
Male Version Of Me 04:17
lyrics
A broken bread of promises Laid on my pillow But you’re not like the other ones You haven’t broken one yet I can’t believe that I was in The right place at the right time And now it seems that I still am. YOU’RE LIKE THE MALE VERSION OF ME CAUGHT IN THIS STREAM OF CONTINIOUS SLEEP AND I NEVER TAUGHT YOU BUT YOU HAPPEN TO BE PERFECT FOR ME And now it seems that I’m on a rollercoaster But not alone And I feel like I can take on that tree I can climb to the top I just need to be me And you let me be Like never before I’ve never wanted this I’ve never needed this I’ve never felt this Never believed this Oh oh oh CHORUS Bridge – It’s a trampoline That you placed under me Ah oooh (everything happens for a reason) CHORUS
5.
Open 04:00
lyrics
I had a splinter in a horrible place Once, once I’m not going to tell anyone but you And them, and them, and them People say I say too much Give away way too much But I think that’s much better than… BEING CLOSED NEVER LETTING ANYONE GET INSIDE THERE ARE MANY WONDERFUL PLACES TO HIDE IF YOU OPEN UP YOUR HEART OTHERWISE YOU’RE BEING COLD AND THERE IS NOT A LOT OF LOVE IN THE FRIDGE I FIND THE BEST WAY TO CLIMB EVERY BRIDGE IS TO BE OPEN WITH YOUR HEART Most people think that I have never been hurt I have, I have But that doesn’t mean that you should lock everyone out And throw away the key People say I say too much Give away way too much But I think that’s much better than… CHORUS I think we should all get along Stop your looks and expectations Every story is worth a song So please keep giving me yours OOH! Ooooooh So please open up your heart CHORUS So please open up your heart
6.
Clay Heart 02:40
lyrics
Long to go We’ve both got long to go But we’ll get there in the end I should have known That I’d be twice as slow In taking time to mend I can remould this Turn it back to a heart shaped heart Bend and fold this Smoothing over the sharp parts My broken heart is My broken heart is just clay Leave it out It will grow mouldy And be chucked into the bin Its best left there We could recycle that bit But I don’t think there is much to go on CHORUS Broken heart I’ll save for you I’ll save for you Another piece…
7.
Neither The Beginning Nor The End 03:17
lyrics
I’m a Grandfather Clock I slow down everyday Before the evening settles in Then I wake up again And when my time runs out I’ll be stuck in a rut Your power can’t revive me- I will just stop AND I WILL TICK AND I WILL TOCK AND I WILL STRIKE WHEN I’M AT THE TOP I’LL WAIT TILL YOU’RE SLEEPING THEN I’LL RING I’LL SPIN ROUND AND ROUND BUT NOT MEAN A THING I’m a solemn prayer I will make you cry And bend your knees and close your hands Look up to the sky I will make you think There’ll be guilt in your smile But they never refuse your hand When you come to die AND I WILL CHANT AND YOU WILL SIGH AND YES I’LL GRANT AND YOU’LL KNOW WHY YOU WON’T HEAR ME SPEAKING JUST FEEL MY BREATH AND I’LL KNOW THAT YOU PAID YOUR RESPECTS Don’t let me down now Don’t let me down Don’t leave me here Standing out here like a clown I will be myself Won’t try to be you But please don’t blame me If it turns out to be true Aah – Aah - Aaaah
8.
Horatio 03:58
lyrics
This is the story of a man Who took his life in his hands I didn't know Horatio... Cause and defence of the war between worlds Didn’t stop him at all Horatio, he didn’t have to go -HORATIO- They hadn’t noticed you weren’t there They were too busy plotting Someone else’s unawares So every corner was your dungeon And every shadow was your church Horatio, is hiding his opinion Never coming, never going… He offered to Stop breaking rules But they said no no no Horatio… HORATIO Black metal pistols lined his path They were haunting, they were knowing So he couldn’t smile or laugh. So when the panther learned to pounce It was too late for his mouth Horatio had the gallows As his backdrop for years and years and years He offered to Stop breaking rules But they said no no no Horatio… They said no, no, no... HORATIO Now here lies Horatio Who will take his place?
9.
Honey 03:36
lyrics
You taste like honey Do you mind if I call you Honey? Cos that’s money enough for me If this is an intruder Then give him the front door key And pass over all of my jewels DO YOU CARE IF I KNOW YOU? DO YOUR CARE IF I WANT TO? I’M A DREAMER, BELIEVER I’M A WANDERING STAR DO YOU FALL LIKE THE FALLEN? DO YOU NOTICE I’M FALLING? WHY ARE YOU GOD IN THE MORNING? BUT YOU’RE HADES AT NIGHT? You’re inbetween us Even though you are in us And when I can see you I see light You can carry my weight Even standing on one leg I am the anchor and you are the sand I KNOW YOU CARE THAT I KNOW YOU I KNOW YOU WANT ME TO WANT YOU WE’RE BOTH DREAMERS, BELIEVERS AND WE BOTH CAN GO FAR ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIMING AND LETTING IT LIE THERE COS YOU’RE GOD IN THE MORNING AND WE’RE HEAVEN AT NIGHT Oooooooooh I KNOW YOU CARE THAT I KNOW YOU I KNOW YOU WANT ME TO WANT YOU WE’RE BOTH DREAMERS, BELIEVERS AND WE BOTH CAN GO FAR ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIMING AND LETTING IT LIE THERE COS YOU’RE GOD IN THE MORNING AND WE’RE HEAVEN AT NIGHT
10.
Segment 03:45
lyrics
Wait in the shadows And I’ll be right back I know you weren’t expecting me To look after you – or were you? With fingers and thumbs I’ll try and play the harder part But be ready to cue me when I’m stuck OOH… Bring me my spade And I’ll build us a world Digging as fast as My inner mole will let me - carry you Hold on tightly and we’ll be there soon But don’t forget that I might need a little help with this drive SAVE ME A SEGMENT OF YOUR HEART JUST A SMALL PIECE FOR ME X2 Take what you want and save me the last part… I’m going out for a walk with your heart. Just one little piece and then I can start Save me a segment of your heart SAVE ME A SEGMENT OF YOUR HEART JUST A SMALL PIECE FOR ME I didn’t know that I could be that strong You give me super powers that I can cling on to-o-o
11.
The Answer's In The Question 04:51
lyrics
As darkness pulls a curtain That draws us into sleep I’m filled with all that is uncertain Between you and me As dawn opens the morning Reveals you at my side There’s still so much I want to ask you So much we hide Like WHAT WAS THAT SOUND WHEN MY FEET TOUCHED THE GROUND? WHAT HOLDS US TOGETHER NOW THE THREADS HAVE UNWOUND? THE ANSWER’S IN THE QUESTION YOU ASKED You lost your voice last winter But still I bend to strain To catch the meanings in your whispers To hear my name CHORUS Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah THE ANSWER’S IN THE QUESTION YOU ASKED
12.
Curtain Call 02:22
lyrics
I was the curtain on your final scene And I was the colonel in your army We were lovers in the bar that night And you’ve never held my hand so tight But I could tell by the skies And the shape of your eyes That you-o-o-o were over us You led me back to the place we’d met Where I fell over and got all wet You didn’t speak but it was so loud I guess you could see it when I frowned That you had left your mark And the outlook was dark For you-o-o-o and me-e-e-e Bah – bah – bah – bah- bah - baaaah I was blinded by you Refused to see the truth I hold my hand up and I confess I knew you loved me a little bit less But I am always the last one to see What’s right in front of me-e-e-e-e-e—e

The Band Called Out For More 04:01
lyrics
Oh, woe is me! I can hardly see Your face anymore My memory has gone blank But I remember your smile And the way you danced, danced, danced Until the band called out for more… Aaaaaah You danced till the clocks stopped You danced till your mother had callen you from downstairs You danced when the rain dropped You danced most when you thought nobody else was there You danced in the library With your feet hushed slightly, no shoes for to wear But the best time for flight was the end of the night When we danced, danced, danced Until the band called out for more… Aaah Danced, danced, danced Until the band called out for more… LA, LA, LA, LA , LA Danced, danced, danced Until the band called out for more
