Get Some Sleep
‘Get Some Sleep’ Lyrics
From here to there to everywhere
And back to Union Square
Where do I get some sleep?
Anywhere the sleep dust lies
It decorates your eyes
Where do I get some sleep?
Stranded in June
Whistling the same old tune
But I do believe I might be having fun
I believe I might be having fun
Impeccably dressed in your second hand vest
We were waiting for the taxi to come
Putting on my daytime eyes
A good enough disguise
Until I get some sleep
Reading out the horoscopes
And using up our jokes
When do we get to sleep?
Stand on the moon
Find the light of my living room
Yes I do believe I might be having fun
I believe I might be having fun
Tune into the station
Make a dedication
This is going out to everyone
This is going out to everyone
This is going out to everyone
Something in the phrasing was quietly amazing
We were waiting for the chorus to come
This is going out to everyone
This is going out to everyone
From here to there to everywhere
And back to union square
Where do I get some sleep?
Anywhere the sleep dust lies
It decorates your eyes
When do I get some sleep?
Stranded in June
Whistling the same old tune
Yes I do believe I might be having fun
I believe I might be having fun
Tune into the station
Make a dedication
This is going out to everyone
This is going out to everyone
This is going out to everyone
This is going out to everyone
Going out to everyone
This is going out to everyone
Something Good
‘Something Good’ Lyrics
Just wanna know ya
Just wanna talk to ya
I wanna hear about your day
I’d never leave ya
Never be mean to ya
I’d always let you get your way
Something good will come our way
And maybe this good thing’s gonna happen today
If I were honest I ‘d tell you everything
But it keeps coming out as lies
It’s not a promise
In case you’re wondering
It’s not some blessing in disguise
But something good will come our way
And maybe this good thing’s gonna happen today
Something good will come our way
And maybe this good things gonna happen today
I know romance is not in fashion
And my heart is on the line
If you would be so kind
To help me kill some time
Then something good just might come crashing
From the stars that light the sky
If you would be so kind
To help me kill some time
Just wanna know ya
Just wanna talk to ya
I wanna hear about your day
I’d never leave ya
Never be mean to ya
I’d always let you get your way
Something good will come our way
And maybe this good thing’s gonna happen today
Something good will come our way
And maybe this good things gonna happen today
Something good will come our way
Something good will come our way
Something good will come our way
Something good will come our way
La la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
Something good will come our way
Precious Things
‘Precious Things’ Lyrics
When all the star gazes bloom
And throw their stars around the room
I was waiting for the day
For you to love me
When all the elements conspire
With shiny things that catch the eye
I was waiting for the day
For you to love me
Precious precious thing
You are the thought that makes me sing
Wanna leave all my possessions
It’s a rare and precious precious thing
When all the elements conspire
With shiny things that catch the eye
I was waiting for the day
For you to love me
Precious precious thing
You are the thought that makes me sing
Wanna leave all my possessions
It’s a rare and precious precious thing
And I know all I need
Is to get on the phone
Is to get on the phone
And call you
Call you
As clear as rain on a street
It shines like bright coloured stone
These things no one can own
They are for you
This is for you
This is for you
This is for you
‘The Be All And End All’ Lyrics

Election Night
‘Election Night’ Lyrics
Come around for tea
Dance me round and round the kitchen
By the light of my T.V
On the night of the election
Ancient stars will fall into the sea
And the ocean floor sings her sympathy
Drive me miles away
Escape the sky that we lay under
Of all the dreams we cannot shake
We’re always shaking in our slumber
In the car don’t let me fall asleep
I might leave my heart here on your vinyl seat
Well the sound of the city’s now long gone
And in the silence of the park and every darkened cinema
Feel the little changes coming on
So come to me where you belong
Of all the bright machinery
Love’s the strangest of inventions
How could this all just turn on me?
When all I wanted was perfection
And you are
That’s what you are to me
You’re the brightest star when all the world’s asleep
Well the sound of the city’s now long gone
And in the silence of the park and every darkened cinema
Feel the little changes coming on
So come to me where you belong
Come to me where you belong
Honest Goodbyes
‘Honest Goodbyes’ Lyrics
Sink with the tide
Rescue me if you like
I’ll be leaving it all up to you
Think how we tried
It’s o.k. to be lied to
As long as it’s only by you
People say to me it’s best that we’ve parted
‘Cause you know I’m better alone
Don’t explain to me how you’re so broken hearted
I’m too busy mending my own
Ending each night with such honest goodbyes
Such honest goodbyes for the last time
Honest goodbyes only work once or twice
They work once or twice
Then the rest must be lies
Late ever night the colours fade from the sky
And the music is gone from the moon
Standing in line for what used to be mine
What use is the rhyme with no tune
People say to me it’s best that we’ve parted
And nothing is carved out in stone
It’s such a shame how we’re back where we started
It’s late now and time that we go
Ending each night with such honest goodbyes
Such honest goodbyes for the last time
Honest goodbyes only work once or twice
They work once or twice
Then the rest must be lies
The rest must be lies
The rest must be lies
The rest must be lies
The rest must be lies
The rest must be lies
The rest must be lies
The rest must be lies
She Left On A Monday
‘She Left On A Monday’ Lyrics
She left on a Monday
She’s a siren down the road
In your herringbone overcoat
That you don’t expect to get back
And it’s an ordinary sky
Today’s like any other day
When all of the aeroplanes
Write her name in the clouds
And nothing’s wrong
But it’s already Sunday
And you know just how Sunday
Was the day that she would come around?
Go to her foolish man
What’s the use of having pride if you don’t have her?
She’ll endure all she can
But you could make this easier on her
It’s all like sinking
You’re trying to stay afloat
Like a wind blown paper boat
Over uncharted sea
There’s no question why
You’re driving to kill some time
Racing the power lines
Back into town
Go to her foolish man
What’s the use of having pride if you don’t have her?
She’ll endure all she can
But you could make this easier on her
Go to her foolish man
What’s the use of having pride if you don’t have her?
She’ll endure all she can
But you could make this easier on her
Make this easier on her
Make this easier on her
Make this easier on her
Beautiful Collision
‘Beautiful Collision’ Lyrics
What a beautiful collision
Things that go bump in the night
With such beautiful precision
Fate could create you and I
Do you know what it means
To abandon your dreams?
To leave with the storms rolling by
How the clouds on this day
Come to take you away
Til you’re gone gone far away from me
Beautiful beautiful night
What a beautifully dangerous ride
What a beautiful day we could hardly complain about
What’s going on in the sky
What a beautiful collision
Things that go bump in the night
With such beautiful precision
Fate could create you and I
Do you know what it means
To abandon your dreams?
To leave with the storms rolling by
How the clouds on this day
Come to take you away
Til you’re gone gone far away from me
Beautiful beautiful night
What a beautifully dangerous ride
What a beautiful day we could hardly complain about
What’s going on in the sky
Move with the strangers
That pass through your days
If someone by chance
Should call out your name
When you’re lost in the places you don’t care to stay
A blinding romance to blow you away
Listening For The Weather
‘Listening For The Weather’ Lyrics
So I’m listening for the weather to predict the coming day
Leave all thought of expectation to the weather man
No it doesn’t really matter what it is he has to say
‘Cause tomorrows keep on blowing in from somewhere
All the people that I know in the apartments down below
Busy with their starring roles in their own tragedies
Sunlight sends you on your way
And those restless thoughts that cling to yesterday
Never be afraid of change
I’ll call you on the phone
I hate to leave you on your own
But I’m coming home today
And this busy inner city
Has got nothing much to say
And I know how much you’re hanging round the letterbox
And I’m sure that as I’m writing
You’ll be somewhere on your way
In a supermarket checkout or the restaurant
I’ve been doing what I’m told
I’ve been busy growing old
And the days are getting cold but that’s alright with me
Sunlight sends you on your way
And those restless thoughts that cling to yesterday
Never be afraid of change
I’ll call you on the phone
I hate to leave you on your own
But I’m coming home today
Yes I’m coming home today
I’ve been doing what I’m told
I’ve been busy growing old
And the days are getting cold but that’s alright with me
Sunlight sends you on your way
And those restless thoughts that cling to yesterday
Never be afraid of change

Bursting Through
‘Bursting Through’ Lyrics
I’m counting stars
Lying under
Watching you through my walls
All the lights have gone out
I know you’re listening now
You’ve been spinning around
Turning slowly
Orbiting round my house
It’s a feeling I guess
I know you’re listening now
Warm me today
Warm me today
Filter in my lonely room
Warm me today
Warm me today
Look outside the sun it’s
Bursting through
Bursting through oh it’s
Filling up this room
Now my fingers are cold
But I have touched you
You’re all I need to know
Don’t fade from me now
I know you’re listening somehow
All you can give
All you can give
Twisting bright
It’s more than light it’s
All you can give
All you can give
Look outside the sun it’s
Bursting through
Bursting through
Oh it’s filling up this room
Warm me today
Warm me today
Look outside the sun it’s
Bursting through
Bursting through
Oh it’s filling up this room
