Are we just slaves to nicotine?
Are we just misfits in a space cadet scene?
We don't know where we are or where we've been
Just follow the steps of the dancing queen
Don't waste your life away
Believe in yourself
You want to slide away
Or hang it on the shelf
But you've got so much to give
Look on the bright side
Make a difference today
Night falls we cry into our drink
Day breaks we cannot find our link
Maybe the future is the way to think
Or another story to tell your shrink
Don't waste your life away
Believe in yourself
You want to slide away
Or hang it on the shelf
But you've got so much to give
Look on the bright side
Make a difference today
You'll find happiness this way
But you don't want to listen to a word we say
Make a difference today
Ecstasy, tell me philosophy
Ecstasy, don't live in misery
Ecstasy, is this the way to be?
Ecstasy, don't live in misery

I Wanna Wear Her Dress
03:40

She's reading penguin books
I love her divine looks
She's looking hot in red
She's getting off her head
I wish that was me
She's so young and free
I wanna wear her dress
I wanna wear her dress
I've gotta feel beautiful and special
Just like you are
You superstar
A psychic vampire
Spawned in Lancashire
I'd like to turn her on
Insincerity tells me wrong
She's flying high tonight
Chasing the morning light
I wanna wear her dress
I wanna wear her dress
I've gotta feel beautiful and special
Just like you are
You superstar
Just like you are
You superstar
Why should I care?
She's taking off her underwear
Why should I care?
We're young and so gone
It's animal attraction
A chemical reaction
I feel dissatisfaction
I wanna see a reaction
I wanna wear her dress
I wanna wear her dress
I've gotta feel beautiful and special
Just like you are
You superstar
Just like you are
You superstar

The Edge of the World
04:18
|

|
In her room
Blue light from her screen
She's working when she should be sleeping
Is it her tomb?
The only place she has, to dream?
Is she losing all of the things she should be keeping?
She keeps on falling off the edge of the world
Every night is just another day
She says there is no other way
To keep those at the top away
And the pain of life at bay
So every night she falls off the edge of the world
Off the edge of the world
In her eyes
Blue light from her dream
She wishing when she should be loving
She often cries, and knows what it means
She has no idea what she is becoming
She keeps on falling off the edge of the world
One look forward, two the other way
She wishes she had more to say
To the friend she keeps away
She may need them one day
To catch her when she falls off the edge of the world
I want her to know
That there is a life outside
If only she would look and see
I want her to know
That there is a life besides
If she would only see me
If she could only see me
If she'd only see me
If she'd only see me
She keeps on falling off the edge of the world
Every night is just another day
She says there is no other way
To keep those at the top away
And the pain of life at bay
So every night she falls off the edge of the world
Off the edge of the world
Off the edge of the world
Off the edge of the world
Off the edge of the world

Eternal Happiness
02:58

Can we find eternal happiness?
Although we find rejection in our souls
Can a taste of true love fill the hole
Lay lines, tramlines, timelines
Lay lines, tramlines, timelines
Always somewhere to go
Can we find eternal happiness?
Although we find rejection in our souls
Can a taste of true love fill the hole
Lay lines, tramlines, timelines
Lay lines, tramlines, timelines
Always somewhere to go
You're not the only one to feel like this
We've all walked this lonesome road
Isolation, rejection
Alienation, separation
The culture of the modern day
The culture of the modern day
Can we find eternal happiness?
Although we find rejection in our souls
Can a taste of true love fill the hole

Starlight

Staying up to watch the sunrise
Imagery so beautiful in our eyes
I wish this moment could last forever
Our spirits free in perfect weather
That summer feeling
I don't want it to end
Oh please, won't you stay?
Don't go away, oh please don't go away
Everyone's got somewhere to go
Getting married down in Mexico
We're young and we shouldn't care
But I'm yearning to be somewhere
Somewhere with you, that's all I wanna do
Is to be somewhere with you, you know it's true
And I'm never ever going home
Until I've found what I'm looking for
Won't you come and search along with me?
And find out what we're supposed to be
Won't you be my starlight?
Be my starlight
Won't you be my starlight?
Be my starlight
Won't you be my starlight?
Be my starlight
Won't you be my starlight?
Be my starlight
Be my starlight, be my starlight
And shine on tonight
Be my starlight, be my starlight
And shine on tonight

Fading April Sky
06:37
|
|||
|
Today, I can't help but feel so sad
Thinking of the good times we could have had
I've waited so long, my hearts the colour blue
Gazing at the pretty pictures of you
Today, I can't help but feel so sad
Thinking of the good times we could have had
You washed me away like a pebble in the sea
There's nowhere else I want to be
I'm attached to a fantasy
You stole a little part of me
And I gaze at the bittersweet April sky
I dreamed how it could have been you and I
Oh you and I
Drifting so high
Like the fading April sky
I should have known it was too good to be true
A fairy tale of me and you
I held onto every single word you said
Now you're just a voice inside my head
And I gaze at the bittersweet April sky
I dreamed how it could have been you and I
Oh you and I
Drifting so high
Like the fading April sky
It never really began
I thought we stood a chance
In our sweet cyber internet romance
All I have is these photographs
That seemed so real
Is this all I have left?
All left to feel?
I've waited so long, my heart is the colour blue
Gazing at the pictures of you
Gazing at the pictures of you
Gazing at the pretty pictures of you
Gazing at the pictures of you
Gazing at the pretty pictures of you
And I gaze at the bittersweet April sky
I dreamed how it could have been you and I
Oh you and I
Drifting so high
Like the fading April sky
The fading April sky
The fading April sky
The fading April sky
The fading April sky

Procrastination across the nation
Lost sensation
Apathetic minds, we try to stay kind
I wish we could rewind
Your sweet caress
Though the feelings less and less
But the world keeps spinning
Spinning round and round
We dance and sing to a solitary sound
I wrote a song, a song for you
Though you never even knew
Rediscover, sisters and brothers
We're falling under
But the world keeps spinning
Spinning round and round
We dance and sing to a solitary sound
Dream weaver, dream weaver
The futures looking colder
Like a black dog on my shoulder
We're growing older
I try to reach out, reach out to you
But there's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can do
But the world keeps spinning
Spinning round and round
We dance and sing to a solitary sound
Dream weaver, dream weaver
Dream weaver, dream weaver
Dream weaver, dream weaver

Goodbye Forever
03:02
|
|||
|
Different plans and different fantasies
If you want it all
Then take it
Have it all your own way
And forget about me
If I can't reason with you
We'll have to call it quits
Goodbye forever
Goodbye forever
Start over again
Call it a day
Forget it
It's just another chapter in our lives
I couldn't reason with you
We had to call it quits
Goodbye forever
Goodbye forever
Goodbye forever
Forever together
But it didn't last
It was just a moment
Just a moment now it's...
Over
It's over
Goodbye forever
Goodbye forever

Shadow of Solitude
04:58
|

You must think you are invincible
To play me like the way you do
You always try but it's impossible
Now I see as clear as the skies so blue
You always leave me high and dry
This is the last shed of tears I'll cry I'll tell you why
Because you're not worth it
No you're not worth it
I will not waste my time staring into a shadow
Because you're not worth it
No you're not worth it
I will not waste my time staring into a shadow
A shadow of solitude
I've always tried to stand my own ground
But you always keep me hanging around
You might have the looks, but I've got the scars
I'm not gonna run around chasing cars
Because you're not worth it
No you're not worth it
I will not waste my time staring into a shadow
Because you're not worth it
No you're not worth it
I will not waste my time staring into a shadow
A shadow of solitude
You always tell me dirty lies
Now I'll just bid farewell, goodbye
I'll tell you why
Because you're not worth it
No you're not worth it
I will not waste my time staring into a shadow
Because you're not worth it
No you're not worth it
I will not waste my time staring into a shadow
A shadow of solitude
A shadow of solitude
A shadow of solitude
A shadow of solitude
A shadow of solitude

Try (Feat. SiDDERZzz)
04:24

|
I'm just a man on a mission
Looking outta the window
On an act of contrition
Watching the trees blow
Hard choices to make
And a promise never to break
A mistake I don't wanna make again
Again, again
It's all the same under the sun
It ends when it's only begun
It's all the same under the sun
You shouldn't choose a knife or a gun
Just a girl on a bender
Watching the trains go by
A big time spender
There is no her and I
It's all the same under the sun
It ends when it's only begun
It's all the same under the sun
You shouldn't choose a knife or a gun
It's all the same under the sun
It ends when it's only begun
It's all the same under the sun
You shouldn't choose a knife or a gun
And I know it's gonna be alright
And I know it's gonna take some time to try
And I know it's gonna be alright
And I know it's gonna take some time to try
And I know it's gonna be alright
And I know it's gonna take some time to try
And I know it's gonna be alright
Though I know that this is our last goodbye
It's all the same under the sun
It ends when it's only begun
It's all the same under the sun
You shouldn't choose a knife or a gun
It's all the same under the sun
It ends when it's only begun
It's all the same under the sun
You shouldn't choose a knife or a gun
Just a man on a mission
Looking outta the window
Trying to form a revolution
Trying to form a revolution
With nowhere to go

Million Miles Away
04:49
|
|||
|
I'll say goodbye, imprint you looking back at me
A comedown from the high, another fading memory
Wish I could read your thoughts, to know what I should say
To scared to open up, one word could push you away
Oh I’m looking out for signs, and reading between lines, but I think that I’ve gone blind
Oh, I’m firing in the dark, just trying to start a spark of something
You gotta bear with me, don’t mind the things that I say
When I can’t control my thoughts, when you’re a
million miles away
Maybe I should slow it down, and leave it for another day
But it’s so hard to do, when you’re a million miles away
This place feels so alone, like its never seen a soul
The hours stretch on by, the outside world takes it’s toll
I walk round my room, I’ve got your dress on my floor
I plan to see you soon, but I’m always wanting more
Oh I’m looking out for signs, and reading between lines, but I think that I’ve gone blind
Oh, I’m firing in the dark, just trying to start a spark of something
You gotta bear with me, don’t mind the things that I say
When I can’t control my thoughts, when you’re a
million miles away
Maybe I should slow it down, and leave it for another day
But it’s so hard to do, when you’re a million miles away
Come back to me, come back to me

Hello insomnia, my old friend
My minds in overdrive, I'm going round the bend
There's so many issues we've got to face up to
But everywhere I go leads me back to you
I wish I could mend, your broken angel wings
Time heals, let's see what the future brings
Let me open my heart to you my love
We'll find an exit from hell
Let me open my heart to you my love
We'll rise the heavens from above
Oh my love
I know there's something worth looking for
But you say that your life is just a bore
It gets so hard this time of year
When you're looking back in sentimental cheer
Those memories are tearing us apart
Please just forget and please don't break my heart
Let me open my heart to you my love
We'll find an exit from hell
Let me open my heart to you my love
We'll rise the heavens from above
For you're the only for me
For you're the only one that sets me free
For you're the only one for me
For you're the only one that sets me free
Set me free
Let me open my heart to you my love
We'll find an exit from hell
Let me open my heart to you my love
We'll rise the heavens from above

The Company of Dust
04:40
|

|
We sat in the sun
On hard back chairs
Saying nothing with our stares
Saying everything
There were tears on our pages
Making blurs of all our words
Above us, only birds
Who forgot how to sing
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Midas touch turns to rust
Everything fades
We knew it must
In the company of dust
We picked the bones
From our bitter souls
And in those holes
We grew our wings
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Midas touch turns to rust
Everything fades
We knew it must
In the company of dust
We reached the same horizon
On different roads
Trod in our own footprints
Played chess with our shadows
And lost
We lost
We lost
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Midas touch turns to rust
Everything fades
We knew it must
In the company of dust

Part Time Lovers
04:47
|
|||
|
He doesn't want a girlfriend
He wants a part-time lover
To have some fun with at night
Lust on the internet, he's surfing for a pretty brunette
No need to go to the flicks
They plan to meet at 6
And foreplay at his flat downtown
Is it her in the photograph?
It could be a psychopath
All the kids today, never do it the old fashioned way
Even though they may be strangers
They just don't care anyway
All the kids today, never do it the old fashioned way
At night time they screw, in the morning
They don't know who is who
It's all just an erotic game
He doesn't even know her name
Is it the girl in the picture frame
And is she really his type?
Well he can get his goggles on
And watch her show on Skype
Facebook is not the place
If you want some sex without your ex
Choose the eyes, choose the hair
Choose the underwear, intellectual or dozy mare
She could be your dream muse
If you buy her designer shoes
And a lifetime supply of booze
All the kids today, never do it the old fashioned way
Even though they may be strangers
They just don't care anyway
All the kids today, never do it the old fashioned way
At night time they screw, in the morning
They don't know who is who
It's all just an erotic game
He doesn't even know her name
Is it the girl in the picture frame
The picture frame
She'll make a dirty mess
If you buy her a glamour dress
She'll make a dirty mess
If you buy her a glamour dress
She'll give you one caress
And take away the loneliness
Take away the loneliness
Take away the loneliness
All the kids today, never do it the old fashioned way
Even though they may be strangers
They just don't care anyway
All the kids today, never do it the old fashioned way
And it will never be the same again
Because we have grown up
Because we have grown up
Because we have grown up

Je ne suis pas celle que tu crois
Celle que tu vois
Ce n’est pas moi
Celle que tu regardes
Tu comme tu contre toi
Deep in my dreams
Pick me up
Don't let me down
Deep in my heart
I’m not found
Turns my world upside down
C’est pas moi
Regardes-toi!
J’ai l’air d’une autre
D’une autre autre à moi
Ne me prends pas pour quelqu’un autre
D’autre que moi
Deep in my dreams
Pick me up
Don't let me down
Deep in my heart
I’m not found
Turns my world upside down
C’est pas moi
Femme fatale
Comdamnée
Jugée
Sans idéal
Sans idéal
Deep in my dreams
Pick me up
Don't let me down
Deep in my heart
I’m not found
Turns my world upside down
C’est pas moi

Walk Away
04:24

I spot betrayal in those pretty eyes
Your lustful games to hypnotise
I walked a thousand miles for you
A fool badly burned through and through
I should walk away
It's only gonna break my heart
Why should I stay?
When I'm only gonna fall apart
Do they even care?
To see me in despair
Why should I stay?
It's only gonna break my heart
Social media saddens me
A broken algorithm of misery
I try to go my own way
But I'm back down the street of yesterday
They say I should walk away
It's only gonna break my heart
Why should I stay?
When I'm only gonna fall apart
Do they even care?
To see me in despair
Why should I stay?
It's only gonna break my heart
The truth always comes out in the end
On one hand I can count all of my friends
Karma is gonna come back at you and you
And there will be nothing you can do
You can do
Your skies we're so blue
I should walk away
It's only gonna break my heart
Why should I stay?
When love will tear us apart
Do they even care?
To see me in despair
Why should I stay?
When it's only gonna break my heart
It's only gonna break my heart
It's only gonna tear us apart
And love will tear us apart
Again, again, again, again
It's only gonna break my heart

Too Late To Turn Back
04:58
|
|||
|
Another day has gone away
It doesn't really matter anymore
The things she wants
You bought them for her
She loves you only because of this
You shed your skin
The pain within
And everything you love
Never lasts
Are you waiting? (To carry on)
Are you ready? (To move on)
Remember those days
We felt so free
Now it seems a distant memory
Early morning make a call
But she's never coming back
The night draws in
Drunk to sin
Wrapped up in your misery
Are you waiting? (To carry on)
Are you ready? (To move on)
No matter how we try
It's too late to turn back
It's too late to turn back now
What remains of the future
Is still unknown
Maybe we can work it out
We're still alone
What remains of the future
Is still unknown
Are you waiting? (To carry on)
Are you ready? (To move on)
No matter how we try
It's too late to turn back
It's too late to turn back now

Lost In Limbo
05:39

|
Fade in, fade out
I'm too tired to shout
Will I find peace within?
This toxic war you want to win
How deep are the scars?
I cannot help but think
This ship is going to sink
You are, cold as ice
Beautified entice
How do we discover?
With the vice we killed each other
Breath in, breath out
I won't wait around any longer
Hold on, hold out
I must grow stronger
And forget about her
There's nowhere to go
When you're lost in limbo
There's nowhere to go
When you're lost in limbo
No sound, no ground
I don't need you around
It's the end of a chapter
In my book of dreams
I've got to turn the page
See through your eyes
You hypnotise
Breath in, breath out
I won't wait around any longer
Hold on, hold out
I cannot wait for her
It's the end of a chapter
There's nowhere to go
When you're lost in limbo
There's nowhere to go
When you're lost in limbo
High as a kite
A social parasite
No, you won't drain me anymore
I've got more to live for
I've got more to live for
I've got more to live for
There's nowhere to go
When you're lost in limbo
There's nowhere to go
When you're lost in limbo

Find My Way Back Home
04:31

Oh, when will this end?
I could use the comfort of a friend
Everybody's got the bends
Is this how we play pretend?
I'll walk this, long and rocky road
Until I find my way back home
I'll reach out, I'll fight through
This war so cold
Until I find my way back home
My way back home
Oh, nostalgia flooding in
Back in the days
When we could dance and sing
Everybody's going through changes
Our worlds collide in different stages
I'll walk this, long and rocky road
Until I find my way back home
I'll reach out, I'll fight through
This war so cold
Until I find my way back home
You tell me it's nothing
I can't let go
We'll carry on and do the show
But those troubled thoughts
Are pushed into the floor behind
Take me back to the glory chapter
That we thought we could rewind
If I could turn back time
When you were near
I'd never ever let you disappear, no!
I'll walk this, long and rocky road
Until I find my way back home
My way back home
Until I find my way back home

Till The Dawn
05:23

Standing upon a mountain
Praying the sun will set us free
Set us free
Dancing in the summer rain
And there's no pain
Here we stand
So empty handed
So far away from home
But we don't feel the need to care
We'll find our way
Through the day
A gorgeous landscape to see
Nocturnal, I cannot sleep
I cannot speak
Love cannot last eternally
So let it be
Enlighten them, surrender for
The richer ones
Run for shelter, protect ourselves
From the storm, from the storm
No matter our darkest days
I'll always stand by you
If you fall through the surface
Gravity will hold you down
Intent to find the rapture
I hope we'll see it through
No matter our darkest days
I'll always stand by you
If you fall through the surface
Gravity will hold you down
Intent to find the rapture
I hope we'll see it through
