Chorus
Sometimes I feel I have to get away,
Sometimes I feel my skin old and grey.
Verse
Where are all the children?
Were are all those kicks?
And as i walk down the Avenue, on the lawn I see your BMX bike.
And I walk down, down the the avenue, all i can see is your BMX bike.
Chorus
Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
my skin old and grey.
Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
I have to get away.
Cassettes, Tape Decks, and your BMX x 2
And they said this part was easy, don't they know they've got it all wrong......
Cassettes, Tape Decks, and your BMX x 2

Timescapes
04:55
|
|||
Time waits for no one, It moves us all along.
As the years go by Timescapes fill my mind.
Moments never to return, secrets that are left to burn.
They still burn inside of me.
Chorus
Don't want to leave you there,
don't want to say forever. x 3
As the hands of time try to cloud my mind,
Moments fade into memories, to frozen points of time.
It feels so distant now.
Like a childhood dream but it burns inside of me.
Chorus
Don't want to leave you there,
don't want to say forever. x3
And it burns in me,
Yeah it burns in me. x2
Those will never die..cause they still burn inside of me.
Chours
Don't want to leave you there, Don't want to say forever. x3
no no.....

Neon Nights
04:13
|
|||
This silence is killing me.
Can't you feel the chemistry?
I can see it in your eyes,
beating hearts you can't disguise.
You've really started a fire in me.
What does it take to make you see?
Chorus
This night is ours, C'mon let's take it.
There's no need to be so shy.
I'm holding out for more than a moment.
I want this to be so true.
Tonight could really last forever,
just take my hand I'll guide you through.
You'll never need another other.
You're really mine this Neon night.
And so we move in slow motion.
Your hands ignite a love vibration.
And it's a chemical reaction,
Cause I have never felt such attraction.
You've really started a fire in me.
What does it take to make you see?
This night is ours, C'mon let's take it.
There's no need to be so shy.
I'm holding out for more than a moment.
I want this to be so true.
Tonight could really last forever,
just take my hand I'll guide you through.
You'll never need another other.
You're really mine this Neon Night.
And they told me this day would never come.
but you're really mine on this Neon Night......I'm waiting.

Yellow Lines
03:21
|
|||
Two yellow Lines at the side of the street,
that's how we collide we never ever
My whitened face starring back at me,
Is this all really necessary - you bleed me dry.
Chorus
And oh I'll play this game again,
Until the day it ends,
Until I've lost my mind.
It bean when it shouldn't have started,
but i could not control it - It swallowed me whole.
My whitened face starring back at me,
Is this all really necessary - you bleed me dry.
Chorus
And oh I'll play this game again,
Until the day it ends,
Until I've lost my mind. x 2
Play the game, Play the game,
Chorus
And oh I'll play this game again,
Until the day it ends,
Until I've lost my mind. x 2
Till I've lost my mind
Till I've lost my mind
Till I've lost my mind!
la la la la la la la la la ah

Astrogate
03:57
|
|||
Such freedom in turning away, such freedom.
Is there anybody out there?
Cause no one speaks to me.
I'm turning off my tv, I'm turning off my radio.
I don't believe in this in this social disease,
I don't believe in you.
And so I press release, I press release.
Chorus
Astrogate, such freedom in turning away. x 4
Is there anybody out there?
Cause no one speaks to me.
I'm turning off my tv, I'm turning off my radio.
I don't believe in you, your words say nothing to me.
And so I press release, I press release.
Chorus
Astrogate, such freedom in turning away. x 4
Astrogate......
Such freedom in turning away, such freedom.
(Poet Anne Sexton spoken word)
See we are all gonna die, The world the earth is gonna be over, well I never lied to you.

Not That Kind
05:01
|
|||
Verse 1
Leaving it all behind, My life leaves yours,
Beautiful moments crash into darkness.
Pushing through a tide of emotions each and everyday
Chorus
Cause I can never be that kind of girl
Who takes it all submissively.
You can find me among the City lights, burning brightly feeling free.
Verse 2
Your accusations of how I spend my time,
fall into line with how you live yout life.
You feed the doubt that's inside your head,
Our love it bleeds because you killed it dead.
No more compromises, because the kill my dreams.
My unhappiness was my own mistake.
What is it with you? What do you have to prove?
I hope it makes you feel a better man.
Chorus 2
Cause I can never be that kind of girl,
Who takes it all submissively.
You can find me among the city lights, burning brightly, feeling free.
Cause I'm just NOT that kind of girl x 4
Chorus.

Don't Fear
03:21
|
|||
Union oh Union.
Why do you never hang around?
I thought we had each other?
Without the papers do we drown?
Chorus
And does it feel better when commitment
is written on paper forever and ever?
Photographed and dated forever and ever
does it feel better now?
Don't Fear,
Don't Fear,
Don't Fear,
Don't Fear.
Chorus
And does it feel better when commitment
is written on paper forever and ever?
Photographed and dated forever and ever
and does it feel better now?
and does it feel better now?
Don't Fear,
Don't Fear,
Don't Fear,
Don't Fear.

Beautiful Boy
03:27
|
|||
Here he comes walking down my street,
here he comes and he's walking to my beat.
Such a deep, deep pool,
Overcome your insecurity with me.
Chorus
Beautiful boy,
Beautiful boy
This stinging feeling, this smothering feeling,
all emotions begin to fly.
Concrete words are used too frequently,
Overcome your insecurity with me.
Chorus
Beautiful boy,
Beautiful boy,
Beautiful boy,
Beautiful boy,
I never meant to hurt you, no I never meant. (x 4)
Beautiful boy,
Beautiful boy,
Beautiful boy,
Beautiful boy.
Take it Home!

Our Time
04:52
|
|||
Think about me as you run through the city,
When your journey home alone, makes you feel, makes you feel, so broken.
When the rain falls on your face and you feel it in your soul,
When nothing in the world touches you, touches you like I do.
Chorus
This is our time, Lets get together,
This is out time, Lets make it last,
This is our time, Lets get together,
Don't move, don't move so fast.
Verse 2
When you dreams are your only rescue, and reality a cage,
Let me me be the one to pull you through, don't ever be afraid.
When you feel it deep inside you, when words cannot express,
How it feels to stand next to you, I wanna confess.
Chorus
This is our time, Lets get together
This is out time, Lets make it last,
This is our time, Lets get together,
Don't move, don't move so fast.
So many times I've walked away, but not this time.
So many times I've walked away, but not this time.
Chorus
This is our time, Lets get together
This is out time, Lets make it last,
This is our time, Lets get together,
Don't move, don't move so fast.

Where Are You?
04:47
|
|||
Office Tower over looks my room.
Strap on the monitor and hope it's not too high.
Lonely shadows crawling around this room,
The only voice I hear is me, myself and I.
Chorus
So where are you? Where are you?
So where are you? where are you?
Cause nothing is right.
And i can't stand the vulgarities I see.
But I can't stop with this fight.
No I can't stop this need in me. oh oh oh oh oh.
Creative types have no rights round here,
dreams are left to rot and washed out to sea.
These thoughts invade my mind so clear.
The only sound I hear is me, myself and I.
Chorus
So where are you? Where are you?
So where are you? where are you?
Cause nothing is right.
And i can't stand the vulgarities I see.
But I can't stop with this fight.
No I can't stop this need in me. oh oh oh oh oh.
The governments schemes designed to kill our dreams x 2
Don't ever let beat you
Don't ever let them destroy you,
Never let them win, Never them win.

Virginia Woolf
''Words. English Words, are full of echoes, of memories.....''
My mother never sleeps.
So I never sleep.
So from A girl who never sleeps, this is for you, this is for you
She knows more about movies,
than any television critic.
So from a girl who never sleeps, this is for you, this for you,
this for you. x 2
She knows more about movies,
than any television critic.
So from a girl who never sleeps, this is for you, this for you,
this for you. x 2
