when the shakes take hold tonight
when my blood flows at the speed of light
in my eyes you'll see nothing
I'm just here for your money
you're just here for my time
throw me over your shoulder
when the shakes take over
when the shakes take over
don't put me down with the others
don't put me down as another
when the shakes take hold tonight
you're just here for my time
I'm just here for your money
in my eyes you'll see nothing
when my blood flows at the speed of light
when the shakes take over
throw me over your shoulder
when the shakes take over
don't put me down with the others
don't put me down as another
when the shakes take hold
I don't have to fight with you
just to make it right with you
there's no love to hide here for you
don't try to find it you'll lose
when the shakes take hold tonight
when the shakes take hold - Track Name: Hang From The Lights
-
oh I swear of all the ways I looked at you
the ones that mattered
were the ones you missed
the ones that you turned away from
so you wish that you could make the life you love
the one you live
but you think so much on what you want
while you want the dream
I just want the sleep
hang from the lights
to find somebody
to return your kiss
cos it ain't me
it's the last time I'll take you out tonight
just to lead you on
just to walk you home
think I'm a fool to sit and watch you leave
with no kiss to keep you from the door
but you got all you wanted while I got bored
hang from the lights
to find somebody
to return your kiss
cos it ain't me
it's the last time I'll take you out tonight
just to lead you on
just to walk you home
it's the last time I'll take you out tonight
just to lead you on
just to walk you home - Track Name: New Lovers
-
all the ghosts around the bed are singing
oh boy please oh boy please
but I don't believe and oh I don't want to hear
see I am bound to you
new lovers are no use - Track Name: Sleep Tape
-
the world must seem pretty
pretty big to you
just you wait and see, see what they can do
Crying out I'm tired
what do you need now
I cannot work it out
we're floating down the street
so innocent and sweet
we're tearing through your home
we're no one now you know
dying from the heat
walking off your feet
dragging down my arm
more ways to do me harm
chemical me now
stop the lights somehow
The shadows in the dark
we're floating down the street
so innocent and sweet
we're tearing through your home
we're no one now you know
crying out I'm tired
what do you need now
chemical me now
stop the light somehow ... - Track Name: Odds & Evens

curl your lip and strum country to me
well you took to it so fast
while I was so slow
you held my hand
but now I'm so old
got to start from somewhere
so I'll start from the grave
we'll count the steps along the way
curl your lip and make me want to live
for one more day
make me want to sleep
through one more night
I owe everything
debts I can't escape til the day I die
got to start from somewhere
so I'll start from the grave
we'll count the steps along the way
odds for a christening
and evens, a wedding day
walk me from st giles to st james
here in your shadow
you keep me from getting burned
got to start from somewhere
so I'll start from the grave
we'll count the steps along the way
odds for a christening
and evens, a wedding day
walk me from st giles to st james - Track Name: It's No Secret

I watched you go
but you're still in the dust and the dirt of this home
I said my goodbyes
but I can't shake you from my mind
my mind, no I can't shake you
yesterday yes I was kissing someone new
but my baby I wished I was kissing you
I said my goodbyes but I can't shake you from my mind
my mind, no I can't shake you
it's no secret cos I can't keep it
you come and go when I'm sleeping
I know you can't see me
I know you can't hear me
but I wish that your ghost would leave me alone
yesterday yes I was kissing someone new
but my baby I wished I was kissing you
I said my goodbyes but I can't shake you from my mind
my mind no I can't shake you from my mind
my mind, no I can't shake you - Track Name: Letting In The Light

buried under the sheets
hold the morning routine
roll away from the sound of the radio playing
roll away front the sight of the blind letting in the light
roll back to sleep
roll on tonight - Track Name: A Future Ending
-
I sit in silence as the world goes by
I say nothing to anyone
it washes over me
I can't afford to get involved
I waste the hours that were given me
I sit and think and watch the days go by
it washes over me
I can't afford for to get involved
time travel seems a way out
maybe that we should
time travel seems a way out
maybe that we should have a go
one day you'll find this all a little hard
one day you'll want to start again
it washes over me
I can't afford to get involved
time travel seems a way out
maybe then we should
time travel seems a way out
maybe then we should have a go
now that the king is dead, long live the king ... - Track Name: Leave Me In Love
-
well there's no faith left to be saved
well there's no face I stand to lose
if I play this game with you
see, so what? is what I want to think
and I'm happy for anything to happen here
while there's some time left I could share
oh leave me in love
leave me
well there's no pride left to stop this fall
well there's no time to stop what I expect
stop what I came here for
it's just a laugh now please don't cry
see I've made up my mind
so what? is what I want to think
and I'm happy for anything to happen here
while there's some time left I could share
oh leave me in love
leave me
oh leave me in love
leave me without a care
in love without a care
in love
in love without a care
oh leave me here
while there's some time time left I could share
oh leave me in love - Track Name: Pump Your Little Heart
-
you know yesterdays lovers, today are just strangers
keeping no one around, now that two is a crowd
thought I heard a beat from your still heart but felt nothing
now I can't make it start through all the tears and breaking up
you wont call me for answers, I won't ask your for favours
what will you do tonight to rise again through these dark skies
thought I heard a beat from your still heart you felt nothing
now I can't make it start through all the tears and breaking up
thought I heard a beat from your still heart but felt nothing
now I can't make it start through all the tears and breaking up
thought I heard a beat from your still heart you felt nothing
now I can't make it start through all the tears and breaking up
pump your little heart, ( heard a beat )
pump your little heart, ( make it start )
pump your little heart,
pump your little heart.
