First time that I lay with you propped up on one arm Listening to you breathing feeling safe and warm and calm Never knowing how my life would change in days to come Now my heart’s yours to keep you’ll always be the only one You are my heaven Years go by on the outside forever looking in Ashes in my stomach like a devil sick of sin Emerging from that land where it’s always 4am Finding something that I will forever want again You are my heaven So let me summarise what you mean to me And try to bullet point your finest qualities My love my passion and my hunger you’re my shining star So funny wise and wonderful how beautiful you are You are my heaven You are the lucky break the love you hope to find You are the happiness the sunshine in my mind You are my best lived life you’re all my dreams made real You are the best of feelings I could ever feel You are my heaven

You know a good friend is hard to find (All the things we did together) There was always something at the back of my mind (Was it ever at the back of yours?) Well it was the summer of 89 (It just went on for ever) When I found myself thinking (As I was) standing outside of your door Well things can get confusing (Feelings rising) Waiting hoping scared of losing (What was it all for) Just so many years ago (I was so scared to tell you) Now I don’t come round calling (No I won’t come round) any more Choices that you never take (You never give them credit) Changes you’re too scared to make (Just brush by your own happiness each day) People you don’t get to love (You never get to know them) But then it turns out the same way (Yes it turns out that way) anyway These days freedom quickly palls (And at night my independence keeps me warm) Staring at these same four walls (You know there’s nothing cool about being alone) Well I’ve been cold side-by-side-before (Until it was the last time) That’s why I can’t come calling (No I can’t call round) any more

Standing underneath the clock waiting for your train Looking up at the metalled sky The chapter of accidents was the first one in our book Had no time to stop and question why Motorways and changing trains making those connections Brought us both to where we are today The sheer determination of this Terry and this Julie The universe has blessed us More than words can say Harmonies are harder in a minor key Dark clouds sometimes gather and pall Suffering is hard to take but often leads to happiness Otherwise why would we change at all? My heart has been yours now lover for six years and more And so it will ever remain Questions about wasted time or the love we never had The love we share now burns bright just the same Friends and foes and family those we loved before Some we wish we’d never met at all Riding tandem with the random traffic in our lives Angels demons saints come one come all

Roll up for the circus It’s come to everyone’s town Pirouetting obscenely Let’s laugh at the circus clown See his collapsing car The steering wheel the bumper the lights He takes everything apart as you watch And the puppet men stay out of sight And good men do nothing Good men do nothing Yeah good men do nothing They all do nothing See his friends come to help him There’s cotton candy on sticks They take the clown’s house apart now Every window and every brick Don’t listen to his trumpet and his rattle Don’t ever let this clown back to dance Let’s get some repairs done To give this tumbledown ruin a chance Good men do something… please! And hey there Mr Mitch you say you feel this itch I think that‘s how your story goes Well now’s the time to scratch it brother Or maybe you just can’t find your nose Cos good men do nothing His supporters fly the confederate flag They like things white and not black or brown You say you don’t like the circus So why did you elect a clown? Good men do nothing Yeah good men do nothing They all do nothing Let’s all just sit on our hands Warm them before we kiss our ass goodbye Cos that’s all it takes That good men do nothing And Rob from Ohio says inexcusable and reckless Well don’t you know Rob words are cheap And Shelly we can’t wait for history to judge This is the here and now do something Meanwhile good men do nothing And it looks like you’ll do it again right? You say you don’t like the clown But one day he’ll roll back into town He’ll pitch his tent again And you’ll crawl back inside That’s right

They said admitting to yourself that you’re an asshole is the first step on the road to recovery But trying’s always been the first step on my road to failure With eleven more steps down that weary road again for me And I don’t need you telling me there is good in me I see myself in the mirror just fine Don’t need no release from some radical priest The things I’ve done have always been all mine Well I tried drowning my sorrows But the bastards learned how to swim Gotta double down my efforts now I just can’t let them win Well I was born under a bad sign Always knew I would come to harm But there ain’t no point in excuses now When I’m checking in at the bone farm Hold on tight down we go Hold on tight the hurt don’t show Hold on tight taking it slow Hold on fast as I sink like a stone I know you tried your best to love me You thought your heart was big enough for two But square it all with you then I’m still left with myself And there’s others hurt and reparations due Well you know you Can’t always trust what your mother tells you When you find out better often it’s too late You ask me now just how far you can trust me Well you know you just need to calculate my weight Hold on tight down we go Hold on tight the hurt don’t show Hold on tight taking it slow Hold on fast as I sink like a stone

Mortgage is paid off not sure where we’ll holiday Thinking of an extension or maybe a conservatory Get the outside of the house painted you know we replaced Most of the carpets a few years ago Scandi thrillers serial killers out amongst the pines Rising cost of funerals but really it’s all fine Everything is fine I guess it must be fine Many decisions weighing me down But it’s the weight of decisions already taken Thoughts of the past that I meet with a frown Hard times that left me stirred left me shaken And there’s more of my past now than there’s left of my future But I’ve got to tell you now that everything’s fine Why wouldn’t I be fine Ask me again and I’ll tell you again that I’m fine But I don’t like these changes Keeping up with other people’s bad decisions I have enough trouble with my own Can’t work my mobile fucked up my Facebook profile Take me to a darkened room won’t you please just leave me alone? Could buy myself a Harley but I was never born to be wild Or start a campaign to save the cave toad from extinction Well the bugs can inherit the earth for all I care Save for that still small voice that keeps whispering of songs unsung One day I’ll leave this earth and reach the ether When he asks me I will tell St Peter Well I guess it was fine You just have to cope I’ve been luckier than most it’s been fine There’s really no point complaining it’s fine There’s always someone worse off than you you really should be fine You can’t have everything you want but it’s fine And just for your information the toads are all fine

Show me a place that is warm and safe Safe in your arms from the hurt and the ache Take me from where I was before Show me a place that is warm and Safe from harm Shelter me now when the darkness falls On night shadows as daylight palls On all of the things that have fled from the light Shelter me now when the darkness Falls on me Falls on me Cover me now as the rain comes down Stay by my side or I fear I may drown Reach out to me in the eye of the storm Cover me now as the rain comes Down on me Down on me I don’t think I could take any more Fled from the place where I was before Desperately holding on wouldn’t let go Till I just couldn’t take any More of this My heart is full now knowing you With love and desire for the things you do Feeling your love for me cover my soul My heart is full now knowing you Are my love You are my love Yes you are my love You know you are my love

I was looking for a love in the back of my mind Like buses one would just come along Thinking it would all be so easy I’d find it in the words of some song Looking in all the wrong places Anxiously looking at all the wrong faces I was so fucked up and clueless Before I loved you Learning is a process of making bad choices All that stuff they never teach you at school I was listening to all the wrong voices I acted like such a fool Bashing my head against the cold stone wall Pretending that nothing was wrong Struggling on regardless I’d been alone all along Monthly subscriptions distract from conniptions Photos and descriptions seldom true Wasn’t expecting such a handsome return When one day I caught sight of you Spending your wage on dating sites is all the rage So trendy in this modern age it’s true But the times we’ve spent together are the best days of my life And the best part of me is with you I’ll always love you
