Who's Side You On?
03:56
|

Some people miss what they don't know
Mrs Mye's alright, who's side you on?
Who's side you on?
My missile dances makes things glow
I'm alive so I... biting bone
Who's side you on?
My best friends neighbour, she's been sold
Down the line or mine, mind you're bold
Mind you old
We'll see a vessel, a black swan
Keeping one eye on...
Excuse me, there's no time to play along
Until I belong
Until I belong
Show me no sense of right or wrong
Take what it's built upon
Show me no sense of right or wrong
Who's side you on?

Blue

This morning's guilt, it sticks like glue
If you believe then it will come true
My culture's still unsung
I'll hold it, then I'm gone
You're feeling why so sad?
She's the best you've ever had
And when I'm feeling blue
I stop and think of you
I miss you're kiss when we're apart
There's no point saying, I wish you had...
Fair enough, if you paid them back
And when I'm feeling blue
I stop and dream for two
I miss you're kiss when we're apart
Oh my Michelle, what can I do?
Won't see me but I'll see you!
My cultures still unsung
I'll hold it but then I'm gone
I miss you're kiss when we're apart...

Too Many More
04:14
|

My bones are adjacent
I'm caught by the cross
They took my spine, I'm at a loss
The big man started preaching
Cracks starting to show
You can dress it up from head to toe
Well you are what we thought you would be
Just the same although...
Until your jokes are funny
Here's one we know...
So never mind trying to taste it
I tried to ignore
The friendly fire, been there before...
I know you lie when you say it
The old bold double cross
You can trust the man but it will cost
Well you are what we thought you would be
Just the same although...
Until your jokes are funny
Here's one we know...
I know it hurts but the truth is
I wanted it more
Start with the first that they adore
The big man started preaching
Cracks starting to show
You can dress it up from head to toe

It's Been Too Long
05:57
|

The story breaks the headline spells disaster
My radio, It don't rhyme
For when it breaks you just cover with plaster
It's been too long, my friend
I can't relate with mid-life miming dancers
What keeps the fickle straight when inclined?
With sour grapes I wouldn't put it past her...
But tomorrow..
Gone are the day's when happy ever after
It's been too long, my friend
But just incase they put you out to pasture
Keeping you waiting on the punchline
The story breaks the breadline's getting faster
It's been too long, my friend
It's been too long, my friend

Someday Soon
05:31
|
|||
Let me introduce... a bonafide lady renowned for divorce
I take my cue's, the games that she play's matter of course
Out on the loose, it's liberating we're adored
Five finger salute, its complicated what's a score?
When there's nothing left to prove
We bloomed then faded, like before
She is Grace with none
Not just anyone, my muse
Like the favourite son
Yesterday will return when someday soon
Caught in a noose, elevating... it's a chore
But how could I refuse? she's persuasive... five foot four
She is Grace with none
Not just anyone, my muse
Quick embrace, then glance
With a veiled romance, keepin' it loose
Sly handshakes, no thumbs
Guaranteed no returns, sale out of view
Like the favourite son
Yesterday will return when someday soon

The Pine Family
03:54

Say it more sincerely, to the right side show
And when they're captivated we’ll play on jealous eyes and undertones
If I make it to three, you will be prone
Can’t say I’m not dedicated
Your days are numbered boy, don’t you know?
I’ll meddle then I’ll leave, I could play along until you’re bored
You’re no Mother Mary, just a stay at home
And when it’s overrated, red roses, pale white lie and then your done
I’ll meddle then I’ll leave, I could play along until you’re bored
We love you all…
I’ll meddle then I’ll leave, I could play along until you’re bored

Onwards & Upwards
04:24
|
|||
Someday's I'll wait, so long
Just to fade away then gone
Set the scene, sometimes
We can watch the world outside
If I relate, I'll be spun
We ain't ever getting on...
Suddenly, tongue tied
There's an art to getting high
Say you'll wait on me
When I wake, I'll be drawn
Down the gallows where upon
Never seen, just implied
There's an art to getting high
Say you'll wait on me

Show me backbone
If I bark, will you bite?
If you dictate well then I might...
Watching well known's
Drawing eye's, painting trials
Out on a plate they will delight
She goes on and on and on and then on
The bells the drone
I promise I wouldn't mind
Even year's late, under strange lights
She goes on and on and on and then on
She goes on and on and on and then on
These are things you should know
They're selling faith for gold
Watch them kneel in a row
So before you go...
These are things you should know
They're selling faith for gold
Watch them kneel in a row
Caught by checkmate
Held captive by...
Two narrow gates and a magpie
She goes on and on and on and then on
These are things you should know
They're selling faith for gold
Watch them kneel in a row
So before you go...
These are things you should know
They're selling faith for gold
Watch them kneel in a row
She goes on and on and on and then on
She goes on and on and on and then on...

An American Dream
04:12
|
|||
Firstly, I've got what I've been given
And so will you if your not keen
Come see, that you are my intention
Come mellow yellow don't turn green
When it hits, it's hard
I'll be, caught in an american dream
A motion picture silver screen
Believe, the land of hope and glory
Can find it somewhere in between
When it hits, it's hard
When it hits, it's hard
When it hits, it's hard...

Waiting On You
03:32
|
|||
I've waited patiently, for the one who come
Spare some sympathy
I'm waiting, I'm jaded, I'm yours
Bad blood, my hands are tied
If I've told you once, then I've told you twice
I'm waiting, I'm jaded, I'm yours
Don't you brace for wars I fight
Don't you fake it, don't you lie
Curse the queen's that saddle thrones
Kick the dogs that pick your bones
My love, she's a western rhythm
When the morning comes, I just step in line
I'm waiting, I'm jaded, I'm yours
Don't you brace for wars I fight
Don't you fake it, don't you lie
Curse the queen's that saddle thrones
Kick the dogs that pick your bones
Waiting on, waiting on, waiting on you

Another Skin
06:44
|

Down by the river, had a long drawn sleep
What couldn't kill her?
Anyone? Hit and run
All thrill's, no filler
After taste... bittersweet
I was sold but could never
Always glum, when under thumb
Anyone dealing favours or some company?
Ive been watching you, now watch me
She sleep's with halo, I'll aim to please
If it's wrong tell me how it should be?
Sometimes we're together
Out of place, in too deep
Nothing last's forever when you belong
Where I'm from
Bow down too the mirror
Never been discrete
Where do you go if you're clever?
Escape from, these sheep and scum
Anyone dealing favours or some company?
Ive been watching you, now watch me
She sleep's with halo, I'll aim to please
If it's wrong tell me how it should be?
Her name ain't real, she don't dance for free
Ive been watching you, now watch me
