Mean to Me 03:26
lyrics

Now every time You say you're gonna change You say you're gonna rearrange But there's nothing left to say For you my love And you say you're going all right Staying out late every night How am I supposed to know? ------------ It's in the way I love you so But every time I watch you go I sit alone Counting down the days until you're home All I want to know All i want to know Is what you feel for me ------------ Baby let's not fight I see you try with all your might To catch a fire, strike a light And burn away the edges of the night But I know that you can change I know that you can rearrange And start again and let me in ------------ It's in the way I love you so But every time I watch you go I sit alone Counting down the days until you're home And all I want you to know All I want you to know Is what you mean to me --------------(SOLO) Mean to me Oh, what you mean to me Mean to me Mean to me Mean to me Mean to me Oh, what you mean to me ------------ What you mean to me What you mean to me What you mean to me What you mean to me ------------

There's a dragon in the lounge room Dragon in my bed Dragon wears my shoes There's no such thing she said There's no such thing she said ---------------- There's a dragon come between us Even though he's not there There's a dragon in my bathroom Setting fire to my hair Why should i even care He needs another lair --------------- Same old Same old Same old dragon to me Same old Same old Same old dragon to me -------------------- Pat the beast Let him know you're there Just keep him on the leash Let him know you care ------------- There's a dragon in my fairytale A mean old dragon in my head He's smoking up my life I think he wants me dead There's no such thing she said There's no such thing she said --------------- Same old Same old Same old dragon to me Same old Same old Same old dragon to me --------------------

Love Sailing By 04:32

Taking water in safe harbours That's my love sailing by Anchor's caught up in my main sail That's just love sailing by ---------------------- If I open up my heart Like a seabird to the sky Will I ride the salty breezes Or will your ship just glide on by? --------------------- Watching sails against the red sky That's my love sailing by Distant murmurs of your leaving (me) That's your love sailing by --------------------- If I stand upon your foreshore And wave my sad goodbye Let me join you on your journey Or will your ship just slide on by --------------------- Love sailing by Help me get it back on course Love sailing by This gale's a deadly, deadly force Love sailing by Her waves are rising to the moon Love sailing by It ended far too soon -------------------- Cast my love upon calm waters Don't let this chance pass by Let my love be your captain Don't let love sail by -------------------- Love sailing by Love sailing by Love sailing by Love sailing by ---------------

You Are a Fire 04:11

You are a fire You light a fire inside my wooden head You are a fire I burn with every single word you said ------------ You are a flame You light my way through the midnight hour You are a flame You are my tarot evening witching tower ------------ And rising ever higher I feel your heat against my skin You build a love nest pyre And you draw my smoke within You are a fire ------------- You are a fire You are my heat sink serenade grenade You are a fire Tearing through this cold hard parade ------------ Solo ------- Rising ever higher I feel your heat against my skin You build a love nest pyre And you draw my smoke within You are a fire -------------

Sweet Memory 04:31
lyrics
buy track
Where I walk the stars go out Not much to write home about She was teenage front-page news When we hooked up I guess we knew Well, we knew ------------------------- Out along the serpent coast She had what I needed the most Bond girl Goddess from a sultry sea Never understood what she saw in me Saw in me A mystery ------------------------- Going back in time Going back in time Going back in time Sweet memory ------------------------- Eighty-two coupe radio Is this love or just the after glow? Virgin land of discovery We were gold together, her and me Her and me Set me free -------------------------- The summer ended our books in the pool I haven’t seen her since that night at school Funny how dreams can drag you on A different path to where you thought you belong You belong In this song ------------------------- Going back in time Going back in time Going back in time Sweet memory ------------------------- Sometimes at night I wake in moonlight Wondering how it all came to this A distant train is rattling my memory How I let her fade away on a kiss All is gone now but not forgotten And time moves on aboard that train I think of her maybe too often Trying to get back that way again ------------------------- Going back in time Going back in time Going back in time Sweet memory ------------------------- Going back in time Going back in time Going back in time Sweet memory -------------------------

lyrics

I've never been a lucky guy In romance but I don't mind I guess I've never really tried And then you came into my life ------------ And I guess it's not like anything I've felt before You got me wanting more ----------- And every time you walk this way I've got nothing left to say And all I really want to do Is call you up and tell you "I love you" ----------- It's not like anything I've felt before You got me giving it all ---------------- Love is Reaching all around inside my mind Love is all it takes Tell me That every little thing will be alright And show me how to be Be in love ------------- Solo ------------- Love is Reaching all around inside your mind Love is all we make I tell you That every little thing will be alright If you show me what it means to Be in love ------------- Places, faces, memories Now feel like they're obsolete There's nothing else compares to you The way you make me feel like I want to It's not like anything I've felt before You got me wanting more You got me giving it all ----------------

At the Best of Times 04:29
lyrics
buy track
And your days are spent Wondering where they went Don't get too close or you could fall In love And you're finding it hard To leave the past behind Don't get too close or you could change Your mind -------------- Cause at the best of times I'm longing for the years I left behind I'm longing So show me the way And I'll be alright And at the best of times I'm waiting for the life I'll never find I'm waiting So show me the way And I'll be alright And show me the way back To the best of times -------------- A year in a day As the moment drifts away Finding peace in dreams is the only way They stay Because the past remains But the feelings don't stay the same As time moves on you're forced to change On your own ------------- Cause at the best of times I'm longing for the years I left behind I'm longing So show me the way And I'll be alright And at the best of times I'm longing for the life I left behind I'm longing So show me the way And I'll be alright And show me a way back To the best of times -------------

Goodbye Mr Jones 04:12
lyrics

Waiting for a phone to ring No one ever calls me any more Oh well, I'm all alone No one ever talks with me As I walk the streets all alone Oh well, I'm all alone ------------------ I wish there's something I had to say But all the world is fading And I don't know what to say Wish I could forget them all I'm waiting for the phone to ring But I know that you won't call I'm wasting my life --------------------- So long, Goodbye Mr Jones So long, Goodbye Mr Jones So long, Goodbye Mr Jones --------------------- All tomorrows lies are stuck in hollow lines In dusty books Too scared to take a look And what's become of life when sadness is my state of mind Again Oh God, I wish it to end ------------- That's enough for the pain All my world is fading and I'd give it back again But I don't regret the past All those good times never ever seem to last I've wasted my life ------------------ No way, I'm not as sure as I could be Don't wait around for me

Tag Along 04:07

Take me back sweet Caroline To where the spring time is in bloom Take me back to innocence And feelings Far from the silence of this empty room ---------------- She has a plan and he knows it Never to tell you and me Don't let it wither and fall from the vine Don't let him die with the mystery ---------------- I don't know where you're going to Strong and willing, it's where you belong Just don't leave me in this pool of unforgiving Why won't you just let me tag along ---------------- Take me back down sweet Caroline Down where the reed beds bend and sway Dance with me i'll be your partner If the crime fits I'll wear that mask today ------------- Don't ever laugh in the face of strangers For they'll always cut you down Don't ever ask me for the power to paralyse Hold your enemies close with your smiles -------------- I don't know where you're going to Strong and willing, it's where you belong Just don't leave me in this pool of unforgiving Why won't you just let me tag along ---------------- Tag along Tag along Let me sing this song Let me tag along ------------

Drifting away Why won't you stay? Surrender to the sea bird sky Let them take you away ------------- Drifting away Sleep through the day Draw back the veil of dreams Let them take you away -------------- Weather the storm From the time you were born Try to carry on Try to carry on Hold on to love Let go of pain Try to live again Try to live again ------------------ Drifting away Another hour, another day Here by my side decide To let me take you away --------------- Drifting away Head North far away From this winter pain Learn to live again And stay Drifting away --------------- Weather the storm From the time you were born Try to carry on Try to carry on Hold on to love Let go of pain Try to live again Try to live again Drifting away ------------------

(And the) Rain 05:32
lyrics

I saw her laying By the tide Casting nothing but a stone A silhouette With no outline An empty girl Who's all alone -------------- And the rain melts away Against her skin so wonderful And I want you to stay But you made me feel So small - all -------------- And every time I close my eyes I think of how you used to be Fractured stars As embers fly This was all new news to me --------------- Before the rain began to fade As you lost everyone you loved Well I needed you to stay Instead you left me on my o-o-own ---------------- If you see me On Lover's Lane Pass me by Don't hesitate For I can't give you More than them Only silly love songs And vacant stares ----------- And the rain melts away As the sun comes through the blinds As i fight another day Never to find Some one Some one Like you used to be --------------
