Anyway

He’s an anti-dancer with no coordination.
Treading ground before the continental drift.
Don’t look at me if you want any answers.
Climb on board if you’re in need of a lift.
Call in a favour and turn on your behaviour.
Cross my palm and I’ll tell you the truth.
Our jaws aligned with broken teeth; we’re left alone to roam the streets.
Anyway, anywhere.
Slow and steady wins the race, at least that’s what the fable says.
Anyway, anywhere.
Throw your old trainers over the phone line.
Cast the dye while your aces are high.
Tested methods a return to the old guard.
Under the cosh but you still have to try.
Call in a favour and turn on your behaviour.
Cross my palm and I’ll tell you the truth.
Our jaws aligned with broken teeth; we’re left alone to roam the streets.
Anyway, anywhere.
Slow and steady wins the race, at least that’s what the fable says.

It’s gone in the blink of an eye, life through the looking-glass.
It’s gone in the blink of an eye, life through the looking glass.
Fill up the jerry, lock in your travel plans.
We’re gonna head down towards the coast, the place we miss the most.
Forget the old routine, break out the gin and tea.
Break out of sleepy town, time to let your hair down.
But now it’s gone in the blink of an eye, life through the looking-glass.
It’s gone in the blink of an eye, life through the looking glass.
Let’s get one thing straight, I won’t capitulate.
It’ll never be too soon before we leave this room.
It’s all elementary, compiling what we see, declining what’s around.
Before we go to ground.
But now it’s gone in the blink of an eye, life through the looking-glass.
It’s gone in the blink of an eye, life through the looking glass.
I’ve got my parachute on, I’ve got my Rock n Roll songs.
We’ve got an eternity to find our destiny.
But now it’s gone in the blink of an eye, life through the looking-glass.
It’s gone in the blink of an eye, life through the looking glass.

Sixes and Sevens
03:42
|

|
I know there’s a jump-scare coming, I’ve seen this one before.
I can see there’s a freight train coming, gotta keep the wolf from the door.
I can see the tides are turning, I’ve been watching from the shore.
I can see the vultures are circling, in the end who’s keeping score?
Now we’re all at sixes and sevens, now we’re all at sixes and sevens, now we’re all at sixes and sevens, now we’ve all been fixing for the fall.
I hear the rumble of thunder, we’re in the eye of the storm.
It’s every cloud that we’re under, in these flames still keeping us warm.
Now we’re all at sixes and sevens, now we’re all at sixes and sevens, now we’re all at sixes and sevens, now we’ve all been fixing for the fall.
Woah, woah, woah, woah.
Now we’re all at sixes and sevens, now we’re all at sixes and sevens, now we’re all at sixes and sevens, now we’ve all been fixing for the fall.
Now we’ve all been fixing for the fall.

River Hearts
03:47

|
The walk down Grove Park Terrace towards Mafeking Street.
Over the iron bridge where the old rail-lines meet.
We’ll walk down to the river and that’s where we’ll spend the day.
Let’s take my bow and arrow, don’t give the game away.
And that’s where our hearts will always be.
Between the fauna and the trees.
Now don’t say a word, don’t say a word to me.
Now don’t say a word, don’t say a word to me.
I’ve got my secret cave, that’s our favourite hiding place.
We could be in there for hours unaware of time and space.
Let’s break into the orchard and scale an apple tree.
I’m happy to share the spoils and get home in time for tea.
And that’s where our hearts will always be.
Between the fauna and the trees.
Now don’t say a word, don’t say a word to me.
Now don’t say a word, don’t say a word to me.
To me, to me, to me.

The Protagonist
03:23
|

|
The journey home and the district lights, this town is mine, this is where we’re from.
You’re not alone, I’m always by your side, two soles entwined, this is where we belong.
We’re on the outside looking in and there’s no way we can win, for crying out loud.
You’re so multifaceted, could I be the protagonist or just a face in the crowd.
Turn around, this isn’t over, so you tell me as we’re closing the door.
You come around with the remedy and soon you’ll see, I don’t care anymore.
We’re on the outside looking in and there’s no way we can win, for crying out loud.
You’re so multifaceted, could I be the protagonist or just a face in the crowd.
We’re on the outside looking in and there’s no way we can win, for crying out loud.
You’re so multifaceted, could I be the protagonist or just a face in the crowd.
We’re on the outside looking in, we’re on the outside looking in, we’re on the outside looking in, we’re on the outside looking in, for crying out loud.

Hold On
01:47
|
|||
|
As the light moves across the room and the sun makes way for the stars and the moon.
You wright the notes on the corner of your page and the comments that you’ve made, you’re really showing your age.
So, hold on now and raise your head above the parapet.
Show them how you believe.
Hold on now, you’ve found the pieces got to make them fit.
We’re not all lost at sea.
As the moon moves across the sky, don’t let time pass you by while the pressure is high.
You’re the one left to steady this ship, so don’t lose grip, the cord will gradually slip.
So, hold on now and raise your head above the parapet.
Show them how you believe.
Hold on now, you’ve found the pieces got to make them fit.
Life’s not all what it seems.
We’re not all lost at sea.
We’re not all lost at sea.
