Phoning Home From Away
phoning home from away
another chance to say just slips away
ah cliche
there's always that last minute hiatus
to separate us
ah cliche
that if she’s gone there's regret
that's what I get anyway
ah anyway
there's always that last minute hiatus to separate us
too late as i’ve hung up
i've hung up my mobile
one day, one day, one day
I'll probably redial

Breathe
why should I phone?
this is a tale of a good girl
and all the other things you ever think about
it feels so important
you make up - you break up
you hang on to things you’re not sure about
why should I phone you?
just to check what - you’re doing
why should I phone you?
when after all you breathe in you breathe out?
you breathe in
you might never do it again
you think that it’s good or a sin
but all you ever did was breathe in
you breathe out
you could sigh very gently or shout
you might know or not know what about
but all you ever did was breathe out
and if I sing
that I love you - does it mean
that I’ll be there whenever you’re in doubt?
you’re just a person
I’ve found - I can’t be you
you breathe in you breathe out
you breathe in
you might never do it again
you think that it’s good or a sin but all you ever did was breathe in
you breathe out
you could sigh very gently or shout
you might know or not know what about
but all you ever did was breathe out
breathe in breathe out
and if I sing
that I love you - does it mean
that I’ll be there whenever you’re in doubt?
you’re just a person
I’ve found - I can’t be with you
you breathe in you breathe out
you breathe in
you might never do it again
you think that it’s good or a sin
but all you ever did was breathe in
you breathe out
you could sigh very gently or shout you might know or not know what about but all you ever did was breathe out

Commit No Nuisance

Commit no nuisance
a wise old soul once said to me
take a leaf from this profanity
live a life of sanctity
and see the good in everyone
he said you came into this world without
you breathe nature's skies and feel the trees and the seas
it’s given free for us to share
and for years to come, let’s make sure it’s there
have a beautiful day y’all
one day at a time y’all
Commit no nuisance
Commit no nuisance
Commit no nuisance at all
sometimes you might not like what’s going down
snd might not see things working out
to understand a different point of view
you gotta walk a mile in a different shoe
praise the lord for the honey bees
they live a life of honesty
buzzing round so tirelessly
for the good of one and all
have a beautiful day y’all
one day at a time y’all
Commit no nuisance
Commit no nuisance
Commit no nuisance at all
put down those knives and those guns
they don’t help anyone
ignore the creed and the skin it’s just the colour we're in
Commit no nuisance Commit no nuisance Commit no nuisance
and let’s make this space a better place ... For us all

What You Don't Know

What You Don’t Know
went to swim in the local pool
it was closed ‘cause you died there two hours before
always a show off
always a guy who’s going to play the fool
you dived right in put your head in and drowned
you drowned and drowned fetching the water
what you don’t know, you don’t know about
what you don’t know you don’t know about it
stole a bottle of your mother’s gin
took it down to the river at night, at night at night
always a first time
always the guy who’s gonna to jump right in
drank it down to the bottom and drowned
and drowned and drowned
you drowned, always the first one, you drowned
what you don’t know, you don’t know about
what you don’t know you don’t know about it
you were arrested
you were the one who got thrown out of school
taking drugs in the classroom
always the main man
always the one we thought was really cool
you took it right to the limit and drowned fetching the water
burying fireworks in the old school ground
we felt safe ‘cause you know no fear, no fear
no fear always a fighter
always the one to throw his fists around
the first time I believed I was let down
you drowned you drowned
what you don’t know, you don’t know about
what you don’t know you don’t know about it
fetching the water
what you don’t know, you don’t know about
what you don’t know you don’t know about it
fetching the water
always the first time

You're Genius
it was another moment the other night
another moment that you won’t recall
but then I googled you and looked at your site
and now I know everything about you
everything that’s out there about you
I know it all and I know I’m right
and I’ve seen you on TV
you’re such a good talker – ah you’re genius you’re genius
you looked out of the screen
it’s like I’m your stalker – oh I dream of us I dream of us
ah Shhh!
if only you could see you from where I stand
you know I think you’d like what you see
and you’d reach right out for my hand
and look in my eyes and see me
I want you to see me I want you to know me
you know I’m right
and I’ve been with you in my sleep you’re such a good lover
ah you’re genius you’re genius
and oh, you’re so strong and deep
I can feel you all over
ah you're serious you’re serious
ah Shhh!
because of that moment the other night
when you said hello with your eyes
was that the moment when I thought I might?
I might get to know you
I might get to know you
you know I might
you know I might
and I’ve been with you in my sleep
you’re such a good lover
ah you’re genius you’re genius
and oh, you’re so strong and deep
I can feel you all over
ah you're serious you’re serious
ah Shhh!
are you serious? I Dream of us, of us
ah Shhh!

Fool Out of Myself
I could give you examples
of my foolish behaviour now
when I act like a dick
but pretend I’m your saviour now
I don’t know what to say
don’t know what to do
but I want you. I do. I crave ya’
makin' a fool out of myself
in every way yeah In every way
makin' a fool out of myself
when I think of something cool to say
coz I feel so dumb
when I just can’t speak
but I’ve been waiting
and think about it all week
haven’t got a brain haven’t got a clue
but I want you. I’m just a geek.
makin' a fool out of myself
I'm a hopeless case, hopeless
makin' a fool out of myself
coz when you’re near I just fall on my face
got no time to breathe
I got no time to think
I’m just invisible – and I ain't got no ink
talking in my sleep I watch TV
nothing means a thing to me
I’m amazed, Is this a phase?
fool of out myself
in every way yeah in every way
makin' a fool out of myself
when I think of something cool to say
makin' a fool out of myself
I’m a hopeless case, hopeless
makin' a fool out of myself
coz when you’re near I just fall on my face ... yeah
