‘Cavalry’ Lyrics

Getting up is easy, when you’re first to get the message, that it’s time to put your money where your mouth is today
But if your friends are all asleep and you’ve got pillows on your feet, then your objectives will be lost, you will float on away

(CH)
When the cavalry comes, you’ll find us lookin for a reason, to break down these walls and jump
When the cavalry comes, you’ll find us lookin for a reason, to show you the brave don’t run

A proper cup of coffee, from a proper coffee shop, was all I needed to get a little purpose in life
Well the reasons are clear, my bearings aren’t there, my compass points me in the wrong direction all night

(CH)

(BRIDGE)
They said, I bet, you’ll never make it on your own
They said, I bet, you’ll never learn this, no no no no no!
They said, I bet, you’ll never get this, no no no no no! etc

(LAST CHORUS LAYER)
When the cavalry comes, you’ll find us lookin for love
On every street-corner and circus in the city tonight

When the cavalry comes, you’ll find us lookin for trouble
With the jocks and the disciples of the new modern light…

‘All On Our Own’ Lyrics

All my life I’ve been caged in
Kept away from the storm
Silver spoons and crimson moons
Are all I have here to show

(Pre)
But breezing, through my Spanish springtime, the keys to freedom, they fall to me, they’re making me believe

(Ch)
That if we run
Mama wouldn’t let us fall
And if we go
Won’t you take me down the river lay me on your shore, tell me dreams my love, oh.

Ninety days I have left here
In, grass that’s greener than gold
Fly with me in my reverie
You’re all I have here to hold

(Pre)
And breezing, through my Spanish springtime, the keys to freedom, they set me free, they’re making me believe
(Ch)

(Bridge)
And I can see the world, from a view that never stops
And if we hold hands we can do this, be a dream that life forgot
This is a place that never sleeps, where your dreams are brought to life
So just come with me, come with me, come!
Take a leap of faith tonight!

Close your eyes, don’t look down, don’t let go…

(Ch) +
We’ve made it to the finish, we’re making it all on our own…

‘Dead Flowers’ Lyrics

In this life we’re tested and tainted and only some make it through
But we see hope in this Garden of Eden and I’ll never give it up.

Sweet Renee was destined for me, we had a road to drive on
But I let her sway from the headlights and I had to give her up

So I gave her – Dead Flowers, and ran away, Dead Flowers, they hit me in the wrong way.

Jack and Jill they went climbing that mountain, they went to hold hands
But by the time they had got it together, the view said to give it up

Cos they saw – Dead Flowers, and ran away, Dead Flowers, they hit me in the wrong way.

Now all these failures mean something, my lonely heart is a mess
All these lows have hardened my soul, but is there time for me yet?
To trust my mother was taken, for a cause so bright and true
Will you give me some time to mourn, with an angel like you
Or should I water my resting place?
Let my roots unfurl. Well all at once I knew that I had, all at once I knew that I had hope.

I’ll never give up, I’ll never give it up.

‘The Letter’ Lyrics

{first verse} Yesterday, I got a letter, from an old friend of mine.
It had some words and a picture, you had changed your life. You said that…

{pre-chorus} If you’re the same boy I knew of, when those days slipped slowly by, we should meet up and see if, we could be all alright, this time.

{2nd verse} And so we talked of our stories til the sun and the waves, they turned in.
We made plans for the next year, you were on my mind, all of the time.

{pre-chorus} Because. If you’re the same girl I knew of, when those days slipped slowly by, we should meet up and see if, we could be all alright, this time.

{chorus}Do you think that I will change your world if I go?
Join you on the shores with stories untold?
Do you think that we could do this, living, breathing, under the sun? Not on my mind, all of the time.

{pre-chorus} If we’re the same kids we knew of, when those days slipped slowly by.
We should meet up and see if, we could be all alright this time.

{CHORUS}

{heavy outro}Did you think that you were homeward bound? Cos I am leaving on the next plane out.
And all these stars, are they aligning now?

{soft outro}Do you think that I will change your world if I go? Join you on the shores with stories untold? We could do this, oh oh.

‘Learning To Fall’ Lyrics

I could say that it’s time, to let you go
I could say that, I’m moving on
Eighteen years was all I had to hold against my heart

I don’t know if I can touch you, or if you’re outta reach
I don’t know if I can see you, even if I get to leave
I don’t know if I’m on fire, or if you’re made of sparks
I don’t know if I’m that secret, that you’d never want to part, with… x2

Cos I just wanna fly, I just wanna take you by the hand,
Take you for a drive, show you how our life will never end
I just wanna fall + It’s time for us, it’s time to let us in x4

‘Benjamin’ Lyrics

Ben looks, across at, the girl that, lives next door
He’s a hedgepig, delicious, he knows that, she wants him more
Than Matthew and Peter, the treeworms, that built her house, in Brighton Beach, with Russian creeps, that Ben found on the floor.

(PRE)
Ben could say, anything, to make her happen.
And Ben could drink, anything, to make her happen

(CH)
He’s a prickly little porker, no he’s not a son of mine
He’s a dirty little secret, he’s a stickly little swine
You know he had it coming, from the day he borrowed bread
A toasty little trinket, he stole my girl instead

Sarah, sees Ben with, a snoutfull, of cigarettes
With knees weak, from envy, she casts out, her wishing net
Just a handfull, of teaspoons, and thimbles, they turned his head
She had caught him by the prickled prune that summer never shed…but she knew that…

(PRE)
Ben could swim, anything, to make her happen
And Ben could smoke anything, to make her happen

(CH)

(BRIDGE)
Benjamin lives down the road, he is very hard to believe
Because he’s preciously metal, yes he’s preciously special
And he’s talkin right to me!

Won’t you tell me? Won’t you tell me? Won’t you tell me straight you freak??
Won’t you lease me your girl? Won’t you lease me your girl? I just money from the Russian creeps, c’mon!

(CH)

‘Tijuana’ Lyrics

Movin forward but never letting go
The sweetest torture, for a crime so low
This is not how I held you
This is not how I kissed you
No it’s not, no it’s not, no your not….

Never leave me, keep me by your side
As soon as your gone now, walk away from the light
To a tryst in the dark, with a passion, steal my innocence away
And I’ll never believe what you tell me
From now on it’s just that way
Cos that’s not how I kissed you
Not that’s not how I held you
No it’s not, no it’s not, no your not….

Comin home
Night after night you’ll be, alone
Night after night you’ll be, alone
Alone, Alone.

Come home, it’s the same line every time
Come home, it’s the same line you told me last time
But I’m alone, alone, alone.

‘Golden Love’ Lyrics

We rest as one soul
Just one last night here
Remembering what we gave up
This golden love

Our path have crossed
But it’s the last time I’ll have you
When we’re old, we’ll look on
This golden love

Oh, we were destined
Oh, underdone
Oh, meet me Thursday
For golden love

I’ll give if you give
Don’t forget, this is it
One chance to do us justice
This golden love

Oh, we were destined
Oh, underdone
Oh, meet me Thursday
For golden love

Oh, we were destined
Oh, underdone
Oh, meet me Thursday
For golden love
For golden love
For golden love

‘Lonely Homes’ Lyrics

Wakin up, I found myself a lonely home
Fighting you, is just another shirt I own
We’re breaking seams
You never let me pray
You never let me move my own way
Now I’m far across the nile
Yeah I’m leaving

Comin out to take you
You will not escape this hold
You know I’m the master
You know I’m the master
Comin out to take you
The master of control

Washing up, foundations of a lonely home
Drying out, till winter comes to freeze your bones
The winds have changed, we’ll never be the same, we’ll never be the same, oh know.
Now I’m far across the nile
I am leaving.

Comin out to take you
You will not escape this hold
You know I’m the master
You know I’m the master
Comin out to take you
The master of control

He’s been around for a little while
Just knockin at your door
He’s been around for a little while
Just playing on your mind

He’s been around for a little while
He’s been around for a little while
He’s been around for a little while
He’s been around for a little while

‘Flash’ Lyrics

It’s hard, in a flash, to let you go (x2)
When we were young we were told, that we could be just boys and let our dreams unfold
And as we grew we lived a sheltered life, a modern life that let us run and play.

But it’s tough when god comes crashing in to keep your soul at peace
And it’s tough to do this growing up when driven to your knees

And it’s hard, in a flash, to let you go
Oh, it’s hard, in a flash, to let you go
Playing songs of the past, sharing the meals we would share is how we deal
With the sheathing of our skin and the thought that we could win against all odds

And it’s tough when god comes crashing in to set your soul on fire
And it’s tough to keep this love alive, when stripped of your desire
When the filaments behind my eyes are rusted, rotten, burnt
Then I think of you and all is bright, a flash among the hurt.

And it’s tough when god comes crashing in, to keep your soul at rest
And it’s tough to do this growing up, when delivered such a test
But we fight and strive to live the life, that you had hoped to lead
And we’re drinking in your honour, even though you’ll never leave us
Cos it’s true
Yes it’s true
Oh, it’s true
I love you.
