New Words

New words, old meanings
New words, old feelings
That slip through the net
That make their home in the nape of you neck
New words
Always complaining said the clothesline to the raining
Said the ashtray to the pain of letting go
Don’t you know
[CHORUS] The bravest move as you waltz round the room
As you let me know the mood is right
It’s hard to tell where the wishing well stops
And the concrete begins
The heat of the evening burned a hole through the ceiling
Now we’re under stars that we cannot name
And I see your smile as you turn and say
“I’ve heard those words but never spoke them
But I feel safe here, But I feel safe”
“I’ve heard those words but never spoke them
But I feel safe here, But I feel safe with you”
[CHORUS]
I’ve heard those words, but never spoke them
That I feel safe, That I feel safe, With you

Crumb
03:48

I fight the pigeons away
I wrestle with needles and hay
I work ‘til my fingers are numb
For a crumb
Efforts were made on my side
You never realised I’d tried
I wish that I wasn’t so dumb
For a crumb
Ego, that’s what’s been battered and bruised
Falling, what’s there to lose?
I feel a pain in my chest
I wish you the best of the best
I hope that you know what I’ve done
For a crumb
Oh, maybe in time I’ll learn to love the things that are mine
Or finally at last I’ll just change the past
Or finally at last I’ll just change the past
You laugh but you’d jump at the chance
Maybe I’ve outstayed my time
I’ve run out of reasons and rhymes
I hope that you know what I’ve done
For a crumb, for a crumb, for a crumb, for a crumb

The Roadside Waltz
05:33
|

|
I look across to you my darling
We’re running out of road
There’s petrol in the tank but no where to go
The sunset’s out of focus
The landscape slowly fades
The windmills and the balconies dissolve
[CHORUS] Darling at least we’ll watch this together
Hold my hand and watch the world disappear
Pull back, zoom out, blue speck
Oh perspective will change everything
Perspective will change everything soon
The wheels grind the tarmac
The handbrake set in place
The hurricane is overhead
Horizon’s tearing down
I said
“Hold me, no matter just
Hold me, for better or,
No matter just, for better or worse just hold me,
No matter just, for better or worse just hold me
[ CHORUS ]
