I don’t remember
But you remember so well
Don’t be jealous
But you’ll be jealous as hell
It’s not the world that you’ve been dreaming of
Still here we are and we still got enough
Please forgive me
You’ll forgive me I’m sure
The worst is over
Now it’s over once more
It’s not the world that you thought you’d fall into
Just take your time you can still get through
God help us now
Have a little faith
You show me how
I can wait
I understand
Now I’ve seen your hand
You never had a chance
To escape
I will listen
I will listen sometime
And I promise
I will promise I might
It’s not the world that you felt entitled to
You can’t feel no change but it still loves you

Making My Own Way
02:59
|
|||
I wonder now
Who you’ve been dreaming of
Did you forget about
Every other love
Are you in silence now
Or are you in the crowd
Did you worry how
I would come around
If I would come around
I’m making my own way
It never was easy
To forget about you
Is it a happy life
With all that you deserve
Or another ride
Where every road is curved
It’s not knowing how
Life turned out for you
That makes me wonder now
If I could come around
If I could come around
I’m making my own way
It never was easy
To forget about you

Any Reason Is Right
04:24
|
|||
It was all in your mind
Almost all of the time
Now your summer has gone
Took the sun and moved on
I stepped back from the edge
From the brink of regret
Though the memories intact
You can never get back
As I ran through the streets
Past the places we’d meet
Always hoped for your eyes
Around the corner of life
I can show you I can show you
I can show you why
Any reason any reason
Any reason is right
From the moment I fell
Into the palm of your hand
Suddenly you know so well
What you don’t understand

Verandas Gate
04:16
|
|||
The dogs asleep
At my feet
I sit and I wait
At verandas gate
The tv’s on
Flickers across the room
Mickey mouse is talking fast
God I hope this won’t last
Walking out into the world hand in hand
And I would wait ‘cause I had faith in all our plans
But now I know you set me up to knock me down
And I have seen you packing up my dreams and driving them away
I sat out on the deck
With a pain in my neck
I sit and I wait
At verandas gate
A car pulls up
You hear the door slam shut
Another dollar another day
Another one that got away
Walking out into the world hand in hand
And I would wait ‘cause I had faith in all our plans
But now I know you set me up to knock me down
And I have seen you packing up my dreams and driving them away
another side another life I never knew
it’s taken time for me to find which colours true
And all the words you never said nor wanted to
And now I’ve seen you packing up my dreams and driving them away

Shadows About
04:42
|
|||
Every reason I had was gone
That my life depended on
Stripped naked down to the bone
Leaving nowhere else for me to go
Oh, look out if you see shadows about
Sentiment was wasting time
Like a fog blowing through my mind
Left me feeling too uptight
To come out the other side
Oh, look out if you see shadows about
But it’s hard now to resist
When you find days just like this
Won’t you please help me to decide
Let me fall with you tonight
Second chances they don’t exist
For the ones that don’t persist
Sitting hoping for another try
Cause you let the first one go on by
Oh, look out if you see shadows about
But it’s hard now to resist
When you find days just like this
Won’t you please help me to decide
Let me fall with you tonight
Sing to me love
Sing to me girl
Open your heart and
Open the world
Two more riders are all we need
And the words fell like a seed
That started growing deep inside
Trying to burst out into my life
Oh, look out if you see shadows about

Everyone For Themselves
04:45
|
|||
I see at last you have gone
Back To the place you belong
You Left us your magical wand
all the magic has gone
Every cupboard looking bare
In the café sitting there
Cold Rain it runs down the glass
Traffic is just crawling past
Don’t you feel a bit sad I know that you do
Don’t you feel a bit lost I know that it’s true
Don’t you wonder sometimes where you’re going too
Don’t you feel you’ve been had?
Here we all are
Everyone for themselves
Here we all are
And you don’t feel so well
His entourage move on in
build a fence to keep you out
Put up a slogan doubt
Like an alley cat frightens the rats
They ushered him further away
he can fight another day
Move him to some higher ground
Another place he can’t be found
Don’t you feel a bit sad I know that you do
Don’t you feel a bit lost I know that it’s true
Don’t you wonder sometimes where you’re going too
Don’t you feel you’ve been had?
Here we all are
Everyone for themselves
Here we all are
And you don’t feel so well
You want to keep us on side
show us dreams of a new life
The greater good will all unfold
The narrative is in control
A new campaign will breathe in life
the rumour mill in overdrive
You follow me I can change
But l’m gonna be all the same?
Don’t you feel a bit sad I know that you do
Don’t you feel a bit lost I know that it’s true
Don’t you wonder sometimes where you’re going too
Don’t you feel you’ve been had?
Here we all are
Everyone for themselves
Here we all are
And you don’t feel so well

All Over Your Mind
05:08
|
|||
She has taken your time
Left you lonesome tonight
I’m a fool as a rule you will find
In the restless opaque
You can swim through her lake
In the deep she will keep you awake
Sometime
Someday
Some how she won’t stay
For now you find her walking all through your mind
Give me somewhere to hide
Give me shelter tonight
What will be we will see what daylight brings
It’s a helpless mistake
You believed she would wait
You won’t quit won’t admit it’s too late
Sometime
Someday
Some how she won’t stay
For now you find her walking all through your mind
Your delusion will grow
Leave you nowhere to go
Then once more you will crawl to her door
What you’re given you take
Though the silence is great
Any bond all along she will break
Sometime
Someday
Some how she won’t stay
For now you find her walking all through your mind

Not In My Heart
02:59
|
|||
Looking round is it over now
Will you let me know when the sun goes down
For right or wrong we keep drifting on
With nowhere to go and nothing much to show
I thought my love would be strong enough
It’s a miracle that we came so far
And I don’t know why
But I’m Ok
I got no reason to change
Not in my heart
Not in my world
In control though you can’t let go
Cause you’ve gone too high and don’t know why
Took your chance but you can’t explain
After all this time why you’re still the same
I thought my love would be strong enough
It’s a miracle that we came so far
And I don’t know why
But I’m Ok
I got no reason to change
Not in my heart
Not in my world

Green Submarine
03:24
|

Green submarine
Green submarine
Far from the bay
Further each day
Port holes of light
Never find me
Stay safe and warm
In your uniform
Your engines drone
Leaves me alone
Glide through the deep
Stop me sleeping
Rescue me
Please pick up my SOS
Your sonar screen
Is watching me now please pick up
If you can hear
A voice that’s near if you care less
I hammered on
Your steely side but you move on
Green submarine
Green submarine
Lit from above
Farewell my love
I guess I’ll stay
In your shadow

Here Comes The Truth
03:51
|
|||
Here comes the truth
It’s laughing at you
Here comes the past
Creeping up fast
You thought you could hide
Pretend you was shy
You thought you could change
But you’re still the same
Cry all you wanna
It’s not going anywhere
You can cry all you wanna
Always waiting waiting there
You buried them deep
You sent them to sleep
And it’s getting late
And they’re still awake
You told them goodbye
And you don’t know why
It was easy at the time
But the truth is gonna find
Cry all you wanna
It’s not going anywhere
You can cry all you wanna
Always waiting waiting there
I’ll leave you both to settle to come to terms with your old friend
I’m sure when you get to know it then you’ll learn to love it in the end
Here comes the truth
What can you do
Don’t be alarmed
Open your arms
Here comes the truth
Standing up tall
Standing up straight
It’s never too late
Cry all you wanna
It’s not going anywhere
You can cry all you wanna
Always waiting waiting there

Anne-Joleen

Sometimes you know I wonder
How hard it’s gonna hit me
When sometimes love
It catches you up
Though love is universal
Nothing seems to fit me
It never is enough
Just wishing me luck
Anne Jolene
Anne Jolene
Where’ve you been?
Anne Jolene
You’re holding their attention
The words are coming easy
You’re hitting your stride
Doing it right
You’re wanted back in makeup
It’s not a dress rehearsal
This is for real
With your nerves of steel
Anne Jolene
Anne Jolene
Where’ve you been?
Anne Jolene
Some night you will faulter
Some night you will fall
Inside the only thing I wonder
Was I ever close to you at all?
Now paradise is calling
Theres lights around your mirror
And everybody has gone
There’s nothing else to go wrong
You’ve never tried to fight it
When nobody would listen
I hope it’s enough
I’m sending you love
Anne Jolene
Anne Jolene
Where’ve you been?

Hanging Around Here
02:20
|
|||
I’ll be hanging around here
You’ll be flying I know
I’ll be kicking around here
Waiting for something to show
If I can try
Hard enough
If I was made
Of stronger stuff
Some get smooth
Some get rough
I never know why
Send my best to your family
When you see them again
Fortune favours the bravest
And that must be you my friend
Remember me
On a dark night
Shine on down
Your guiding light
Some go wrong
And some go right
I never know why

LIfe Tripping
04:13
|
|||
It’s a wonder that I never met you yet
For all these years gone by
For every stranger on every road
Still searching for your light
I watched the fields and the towns go by
People going about their lives
Sometimes I feel like it’s moving too fast
Sometimes it feels alright
If all my trouble was in the past
Like the trail of dust behind
It would all be ok if for one sweet day
I could read your mind
You’re free to go any time you want
You can always find a door
I ever learn what this world is about
I’ll let you know for sure
You know when they say it’s too good to be true
Well maybe it’s just good and it’s true
My life is sweet every time we meet
And I set eyes on you
But let’s not pretend that our road won’t end
And someday we’ll be apart
It will be a dark day when you walk away
But I’m willing to pay with my heart
When morning comes this is your stop
It’s been nice meeting you
If I’m ever down this way again
I’ll be sure to look you up
Maybe you’ll have a family then
Who knows what life will bring
But whatever it is be sure to know
That I’ll be wondering
