Said & Done
It’s been a long, long time
Since I seen you smile
Never knowing when would be the last
Well it’s been way too long
Since I promised you this song
Funny how the years just pass
Will you still think of me
After it’s all been said and done
When the ship has sailed
And we’re back out on the run
Well I don’t think, we’ll ever know
Well I told you many stories
I spun you many lines
And every time it ended just the same
Maybe someday our paths will cross once more
We’ll start it up all over again
Will you still think of me
After it’s all been said and done
When the ship has sailed
And we’re back out on the run
Well I don’t think, we’ll ever know
Will you still think of me
After it’s all been said and done
When the ship has sailed
And we’re back out on the run
... ‘still think of me
After it’s all been said and done
When the ship has sailed
And you’re out there on your own
Well I don’t think, we’ll ever know...

Contradiction In Terms
You’re an enigma to yourself
You and all the rest
Far from comprehension
Like the walking dead
In and out of love
‘til you lay your head
Sleep under the smoke clouds
Over your bed
Wasting all your time
On the borderline
Asking all the questions to the punch lines
Living off some words that you never wrote
No money to eat and a brand new coat yeah
Got a new obsession every day of the week
Feel like jumping off with the world at your feet
Never stop talking, got nothing to say
Find a new direction
Lose another day
Feeling broken down
With your sorrows drowned
You can’t go home ‘cause the landlord’s round
What would your mother say if she saw you now
No one knows your name but you’re the talk of the town
A contradiction in terms
A contradiction in terms
You’re at odds with yourself
So much that it hurts
A contradiction in terms

Anodyne
Well you woke me, bright and early once again
With that reflection staring back that says
Today we're just not friends
And another cup of coffee just ain't the cure
For this old world and all it's grief
Yeah I think I'm sure
Yeah I think I'm sure
Playing with my mind
Wasting all my time
Beat up, empty bottles on the floor
Hey man, you sure look like you've been
Going through the wars
You pick me up just to throw me down again
But what good is this life at all
Without a little pain
It wouldn't be the same
Make me want to cry
Tears in my eyes
My anodyne
My anodyne
You're divine
My anodyne
Hold back tomorrow (hold back tomorrow)
Hold back today (hold back today)
Hold back the sorrow (never mind the sorrow)
And I'll find my way

The Art Of Falling Down

The Art Of Falling Down
Now the hour’s getting late
Moon crawls, stars fade
When there’s nothing left to say
Crossed miles, crossed hearts
Fell asleep and fell apart
Take it right back to the start
Too much was not enough for you
Nothing left for us to do
It’s the art of falling down
It’s the art of falling down
Bloodshot eyes and subtle signs
Always been the reckless kind
Tape stops, can’t rewind
They’re all heart until they turn
Build you up to watch you burn
In this sad and crazy world
Some things are never meant to last
Used up, now there’s nothing left
It’s the art of falling down
It’s the art of falling down
For the lost and never found
It’s the art of falling down
Some things were never built to last
Breaking down and you can’t turn back
It’s the art of falling down
It’s the art of falling down
For the lost and never found
It’s the art of falling down

Rosary

Rosary
Set your sights on living wild
Free and easy, the prodigal child
Stylised the world outside
And headed for the bright lights
Wow oh, woe is me
Don't forget your deck of cards and a rosary
You and me and the devil make three
Don't forget your deck of cards and a rosary
Paying dues, rolling dice
Brought down the house, cleared that line
There’s no life, without regret
At the end you're gonna hedge your bets
Wow oh, woe is me
Don't forget your deck of cards and a rosary
You and me and the devil make three
Don't forget your deck of cards and a rosary

Leave Your Heart At Home

Leave Your Heart At Home
You know the world outside can be a
Cold and lonely place
No one looks you in the eye
Just at the scars on your face
Be sure to wrap up warm if you’re
Going to brave that storm
And don’t you lose your trail
Like an old dog in the rain
So leave your heart at home
Doesn’t matter where you roam
Just leave your heart at home
No matter where you...
And I hate this town ‘cause there
Ain’t nothing around so I
Buy myself a beer
And reflect on what brought me here
‘Cause I miss your face and you’re a
Million miles away
It seems to me
There is no place I’d rather be
So leave your heart at home
Doesn’t matter where you roam
Leave your heart at home
Doesn’t matter where you roam
Leave your heart at home
No matter where you...
The path you choose can lead to hell and back
So I’ll take my chances here right off the beaten track
You know the world outside can be a
Cold and lonely place
You blow in like the wind
And leave without a trace

Old Souls

Old Souls
You got a crooked halo
Got a crooked smile
Back seat, lay low
Partners in crime
Young hearts, old souls
Follow everywhere you go
Same old story
It’s the same old show
Old souls, bad habits
Gonna be the death of me
Take you with me when it’s time to go
Eyes wild with fire
And your wicked heart
Can only be one outcome
Known from the start
Should of seen it coming
Til’ death us part
Young hearts, old souls
Follow everywhere you go
Same old story
It’s the same old show
Old souls, bad habits
Gonna be the death of me
Take you with me when it’s time to go
Young hearts, old souls
Haunt me everywhere I go
Same old story
It’s the same old show
Young hearts, bad habits
Gonna be the death of me
Take you with me now it’s time...

Down On My Luck

Down On My Luck
In a cold that would cut you
Right down to the bone
I’m sitting here all alone
The nighttime has fallen
Right out with me
And I don’t feel the need to atone
And I can’t help but wondering
Where I’ve gone wrong
Wondering how this can be
‘Cause I’m down, down on my luck
Crawling in circles
I can’t get up
I try to call you
You just won’t pick up
Guess I’m down, down on my luck
Well the sirens are wailing
All over this town
So loud that you can’t hear a word
And the trees are howling
Right back at the wind
Yeah just trying to be heard
And I can’t help but wonder what you’re doing now
Are you doing the same thing as me
‘Cause I’m down, down on my luck
Crawling in circles
I can’t get up
I try to call you
You just won’t pick up
Guess I’m down, down on my luck

After All

After All
You caught the last train to a town called No Return
Hellbent to crash and burn
Locked up your heart and closed the door on all the world
Hear no evil, speak no words
Last call for loneliness, the bar is closing soon
But you can’t call time on the blues
Smoking Dead End Specials yeah and howling at the moon
Tomorrow always comes too soon
Life is what happens when you’re busy making plans
Love is what happens when you’re holding out your hand
Time catches up with you, it comes for us all
After all...
Feeling left for dead, cut down before your prime
Waste all your money wasting time
Everyone’s struggling yeah the plight of humankind
Can’t grasp the life you fantasise
Life is what happens when you’re busy making plans
Love is what happens when you’re holding out your hand
Time catches up with you, it comes for us all
After all...
Life is what happens when you’re busy making plans
Love is what happens when you’re holding out your hand
Time catches up with you, it comes for us all
So don’t waste your life away and fly before you fall
Life is what happens when you’re busy making plans
Love is what happens when you’re holding out your hand
Time catches up with you, it comes for us all
After all...
So sing along, get involved

Born Ancient

Born Ancient
Born ancient I was
Or so I've been told
When they made you they must of
Broke the mould
Right now this minute
We've never been so old
That’s the sort of thinking that
Takes its toll
Sometimes I’m up
Sometimes I’m down
Stuck in a rut
On the wrong side of town
You gotta get lost now
Before you’ll be found
Sink then swim
Until you drown
Isn't that just the way of the world
For every little boy and girl
Got more than you need
‘Til it's less than theirs
Got nothing to believe
‘Til somebody cares
Take me far away
Take me far away
Take me far away...
Isn't that just the way of the world
For all you little boys and girls
Got more than you need
‘Til it's less than theirs
Got nothing to believe
‘Til somebody cares
