1- Don't Believe In Love

I wanna go to bed

With arms around me

But wake up on my own

Pretend

That I'm still sleeping

Til' you go home

Oh

I can't look at you

This morning

I should probably have a sign

That says

'Leave right now or quicker'

You've overstayed your time

If I don't believe in love

Nothing will last for me

If I don't believe in love

Nothing is safe for me

When I don't believe in love

You're too close to me

And that's why

You have to leave

Maybe I slept peaceful

On your shoulder

Your arm warm around my side

But it's different now

It's morning

And I can't face your smile

The second that I feel

Your safe hands

Reaching out for mine

I slip away and out of sight

You've ovestayed your time

If I don't believe in love

Nothing is good for me

If I don't believe in love

Nothing will last for me

When I don't believe in love

Nothing is new for me

Nothing is wrong for me

And nothing is real for me

When I don't believe in love

Why do you care for me?

When I don't believe in love

Nothing is real for me

If I don't believe in love

You're getting to close to me

And that's why you have to leave

And that's why you have to leave

If I don't believe in love

If I don't believe in love

If I don't believe in love

Nothing is left for me

If I don't believe in love

You're too good for me

2- Quiet Times

Ask me where i go tonight i go back to today last year.

Me and you had to make each other happier, now theres hope with everything.

Its hard enough to feel the world as it is and hold on anything.

Without these quiet times you've brought round here.

Im Gonna have to run away, im sure that i belong some other place.

I've seen another side of all i've seen it keeps me wondering where my family is.

Its hard enough to see the world as it is, and hold on anything.

Without these quiet times coming round here.

Now i miss you ..

Now i want you ..

But i can't have you ..

Even when your here ..

Suppose i have to take you with me, broken mind i'd rather leave you here.

To forget everything you've seen and known erase every idea.

And you walk up in the street, and hold my hand and smile.

Well i won't be taken in, cus i know how it turns out.

And it takes me back to these quiet times coming round here.

Now i miss you ..

Now i want you ..

Your not coming back ..

And i need you ..

But i can't have you ..

Even when your here ..

Now i miss you ..

Now i want you ..

Your not coming back ..

And i need you ..

But i can't have you ..

Even when your here ..

3- Never Want To Say It's Love

Never Want to Say it's Love ..

I could put it down to being tired,

Or coming home to an empty house,

A passing moment,

A little man -

No one around to stop me writing to you.

I never wanna say it’s love

But it’s really what I’m thinking of

I could apologise,

And say ‘tear it up,

And put it down to the pills I’ve taken’

Seeing my friends with their lives moved on

Well I’ve been gently drifting

I never wanna say it’s love

But it’s really what I’m thinking of

I felt the same today

As I was feeling yesterday

It’ll be the same tomorrow

From an only one change

I never wanna say it’s love

But it’s really what I’m thinking of

My home is home

And I’m settled now

I’ve made it through the restless phase

I have no reason to get bored anymore

My friends are around and your name comes up

Asking if I ever heard from you

I’m keeping it quiet about those words to you

But I meant every word that I said

I stand by every word that I said

I never wanna say it’s love

But it’s really what I’m thinking of

I felt the same today

As I was feeling yesterday

It’ll be the same tomorrow

From an only one change

I never wanna say it’s love

But it’s really what I’m thinking of

I felt the same today

As I was feeling yesterday

It’ll be the same tomorrow

From an only one change

I never wanna say it’s love

But it’s really what I’m thinking of

I never wanna say it’s love

But it’s really what I’m thinking of

I never wanna say it’s love

But it’s really what I’m thinking of

4- Grafton Street

No more trips to Grafton Street,

No more goin’ there,

To see you lying still,

While we all come and go.

No more watching sunsets,

It seems like summer’s holding on.

And no more standing quietly at your ********

No more driving down your road,

Wond'ring when you’ll be home.

And no more peace when they all leave

And leave us two alone.

And time we always lose is finally found here with you.

My love, I know we’re losing but I will stand here by you.

No more calling friends from the car saying “I don’t know when,

I’ll be there but I’ll do my best to come.”

No more letting you warm my hands,

No more trying to take it in.

And no more saying “goodbye for the last time again”

And no more saying “goodbye for the last time again”

And time we always lose is finally found here with you.

My love, I know you’re leaving but I will stand here by you.

No more trips to Grafton Street,

No more goin’ there,

No more sitting up all night,

Waiting for any word.

Nothing’s left that’s safe here now,

Nothing will bring you home

Nothing can bring us the peace

We had in Grafton Street.

5- It Comes And It Goes

Some days I wanna, and some days I don't.

Sometimes I can feel it and suddenly its gone ..

Some days I can tell you the truth and some days I just don't.

Only a change of mood sun goes down some one says something to quick or to soon,

A touch not made one made to late army's of words can not hope to contain ..

Then it comes and it goes.

And I have no control.

Some days I can think clear and some days I wont.

Sometimes I can feel it and suddenly its gone ..

Some days I am strong and some days my skins broken and thin.

That's when it feels and it takes what it needs and it leaves before I get to know,

Its only a step away moments that army's of words can not hope to contain ..

Then it comes and it goes.

And I cant make it home.

And theres nothing at home.

And it breaks me when it goes.

Some days I wanna, and some days I don't.

Sometimes I can feel it and suddenly its gone ..

Some days I can tell you the truth and some days I just don't.

Only a change of mood dream comes out some one tells something to quick or to soon,

A move not made one made to late army's of words can not hope to contain ..

Then it comes and it goes.

And I seem to hope

And theres nothing at home.

And it breaks me when it goes.

6- Look No Further

I might have been a singer

Who sailed around the world

A gambler who wins millions

And spent it all on girls

I might have been a poet

Who walked upon the moon

A scientist who wouldtell the world

I discovered something new

I might have loved a king

Been the one to end a war

A criminal who drink champaign

And never could be caught

But among your books

Among your clothes

Among the noise and fuss

I've let it go

I can't stop and catch my breathe

And Look No further for happiness

And I will not turn again

'Cause my heart has found its home

Everyone i'll never meet

And friends I wont now make

The adventures that they could have been

And the risks I'll never take

but Among Your Books

Among your clothes

Among the noise and fuss

I've let it go

I can't stop and catch my breathe

And Look No further for happiness

And I will not turn again

'Cause my heart has found its home

7- Us 2 Little Gods

Walking home, burnt and red

Sticky thin, he said

let us go down in the woods

can you be careful she said

us 2 little gods with the world at our feet

Sticky thin, how you’ve grown they said

You’ll never fit in your long white dress

When’s he going to try and get a job

I’m thankful for what we’ve got she said

us 2 little gods with the world at our feet

Just in this life, I need no other

Just this day, I need no more

Just this moment, let it all stop here

Let it all stop here I’ve had my fill.

Summers here, early again

Lets take the kid and go and celebrate

Drinking beer, moon on the left

and there’s the sun, hold my hand he said

us 3 little gods, with the world at our feet

Just in this life, I need no other

Just this day, I need no more

Just this moment, let it all stop here

Let it all stop here I’ve had my fill.

8- The Day Before The Day

Speeches won't be made today, clocks will carry on

Flowers wont be left in parks, work will still be done

People wont be dressed in clack, babies will be born

No flags will fly, the sun will rise,

But we know that you are gone

You who love to love and believed we can never give enough

It wakes me every single night, thinking through the day

Did you stop at any time have doubts at any s***e

Were you calm or were you numb or happy just to get it done

I've lived my life without regret until today

You who love to love and believed we can never give enough

I didnt get to say goodbye the day before the day

Was trying to get to work on time, thats why i turned away

And missed the most important thing you've ever tried to say

I've lived my life without regret until today

You who love to love and believed we can never give enough

And you who hoped that underneath we all felt the same

That was until the day before the day

9- Let's Do The Things We Normally Do

Let's pretend that we'll be here tomorrow

And I'll try for you to be a little more on time

I know you need to say you know you've let me down

But you haven't and it's hard to talk with people all around

Please don't say how proud you are

Lets do the things we normally do

I'll say see you later

You'll sing a line or two

From your rebel songs sung out of tune

Don't hold my hand for longer than you need to

Lets forget that we're here and make some plans

We'll go for walks

Sit on the bench we always sat

I'll tell you every little detail of my day and so will you

Don't try to stay awake

I'm feeling tired too

This is just another day

Let’s do the things we normally do

I'll say see you later you'll sing a line or two

From your rebel songs sung out of tune

Don't hold my hand for longer than you need to

Armored cars and tanks and guns came to take away our sons

And everybody’s stood behind

The man behind the wire

There’s a fight to love

A fight to have

Your bed’s a battlefield and back

And all of this will just be stripped away

Let’s do the things we normally do

I'll say see you later you'll sing a line or two

From your rebel songs sung out of tune

Don’t hold my hand for longer than you need to

Don’t look me in the eye more than you need to

Don’t try to say goodbye if I don’t want to

Don't say how proud you are

And say I’m far away

and take along your

and say a word

and I can say fade away

10- Burnin Love

I found no peace

In the lies that I’ve told,

I’m only hurt by the blows that get withheld

The sharper I get cut

The harder I get held

More that I believe

That you will come to me

Without you I’ve been burnin’ love

Whao-ao

You’re the one that I’ve been calling for

Whao-ao

Without you I’ve been burnin’ love

Whao-ao

You’re the one that I’ve been calling for

I found no peace

In the lies that I’ve told,

I’m only hurt by the blows that get withheld

The sharper I get cut

The harder I get held

More that I believe

That you will come to me

Without you I’ve been burnin’ love

Whao-ao

You’re the one that I’ve been calling for

Whao-ao

Without you I’ve been burnin’ love

Whao-ao

You’re the one that I’ve been calling for

‘out you I’ve been burnin’ love

Whao-ao

You’re the one that I’ve been calling for

Without you I’ve been burnin’ love

Whao-ao

You’re the one that I’ve been calling for

Whao-ao

Without you I’ve been burnin’ love

Whao-ao

You’re the one that I’ve been calling for

11- Northern Skies

"I have returned to the northern skies"

I have returned to the northern skies,

Where the summer had not touched

The clouds that pass above.

Oh, and I have returned to the somber grace

Of the days too early to come and too early to stay.

And I have left a million stars,

And an ocean so lightly, so clearly blue.

And I have left the warmth of the sun

And a million adventures not yet begun.

The great sense of passing through,

The great sense of passing through,

The great sense of passing through.

Oh, for once there was beauty here for me

Under these white, northern skies.

I felt the green was blacker

And the blue was darker still.

My roots are lying deeper than I ever think they will again.

Heartache and poverty under these northern skies.

The great sense of passing through,

The great sense of passing through,

The great sense of passing through
