CUT YOU LOOSE Cut you loose, you're just more hassle than you're worth Cut you loose, won’t be the last won’t be the first I’m confused, you said you were doing this for me I'll cut you loose for using me. Cut you loose, someone like you just has to learn There's no excuse, you don't treat people in that way I'm not a fool! You picked the wrong woman I'll cut you loose for using me. I don't need you to tell me what to say I don't need your advice in any way I don't want you in my life this journey’s mine Cut you loose I can’t believe you weaseled in to rule the roost A great big cuckoo in my nest I refuse to let you latch on like a leach I'll cut you loose for using me I don't need you, I’ve come this far alone For God’s sake, stop calling on the phone I don't want you in my life This journey’s mine Cut you loose, it makes no sense to keep you close Such a noose, around my neck I’m going to choke If I don't choose, to sever ties and twisted lies I'll cut you loose for using me I'll cut you loose for using me I'll cut you loose for using me

MISS YOU WHEN Start the day off with a stretch and as the day kept stretching I did fill it full with things to do To keep my mind off you Hanging in my head, remnants of a dream slipping like the cover from my bed leaves me cold cold cold as the day unfolds and I miss you when I'm awake They say this is real life but I say it ain’t and I'm only dreaming, I'm only dreaming but What’s the world without a dream, what’s the world without a dream? We talked for hours last night and I’m clinging on with all my might but Time, wicked time! It’s blurring all the lines of our conversations Fading all the colours of our lamentations Stealing your feelings away from mine Time, wicked time! And I miss you when I'm awake They say this is real life but I say it ain’t and I'm only dreaming, I'm only dreaming but What’s the world without a dream, what’s the world without a dream? Maybe they should check me in? Suits me, more time to dream Life leaves me empty as my wallet Worn as my shoes Black as my pockets, oh I’m tired so please let me sleep....cause... I miss you when I'm awake They say this is real life but I say it ain’t and I'm only dreaming, I'm only dreaming but What’s the world without a dream, what’s the world without a dream? If you've got any kind of dream you better go go go for it You don't want to reach the end with nothing to show for it. Ah ah ah I miss you when I'm awake They say this is real life but I say it ain’t and I'm only dreaming, I'm only dreaming but What’s the world without a dream, what’s the world without a dream? What’s the world without a dream?

Wolves 04:12
WOLVES I’ve tried to understand why people do the things they do All my life Lay your trust in a smiling face as they take your money and say you’re great But it’s all just lies. When you gather more than three Watch out for wolves among the sheep and like some petty game they'll pour poison on your name I live in eternal hope that love will win the war but ego is a powerful foe. It doesn't care what it says to get you out the way as long as it works. When you gather more than three Watch out for wolves among the sheep And like some petty game they'll pour poison on your name The week in spirit use cloak and dagger moves But they will never hide My shining light. I will send them love

Mary 04:00
MARY Mary sat on the city bridge, arms outstretched, feeling for footsteps Crutches by her side as the people walk on by. Mary said she was cold, and hadn't eaten in days Cried so loud, so so loud, as the people walked away. You don't know, she said, you don't know how lucky you are No, you don't know, you don't know how lucky you are. Mary thought last night at the shelter felt a hundred years long. Old fat Meg pulled hair from her head and When she woke her man was gone. Mary pulled my hand towards her and talked between the tears 'Nobody cares if I live or die, no-one’s seen me in years.' You don't know, she said, you don't know how lucky you are No, you don't know, you don't know how lucky you are. Mary how did you get so lost? Mary where did it all go wrong? Mary please don't get drunk tonight! Mary don't give up the fight! You don't know, you don't know how lucky you are and the, people walking on by they don't know how lucky they are and it could be you or I We don't know how lucky we are We don't know, we don't know how lucky we are. She said 'You don't know, you don't know how lucky you are. No’

Pull of the Moon I’ve met a man and it feels right out of the blue and into my heart. A gentle man a gentle mind and I knew right from the start He said.... Can you feel the pull of the moon? Deep inside your heart, can you feel the pull of the moon? We should never part, you and I In this crazy lullaby I can feel you in my soul, we are one, you and I And we'll wrinkle and we'll wither But let’s always be together Love’s the only thing that matters aren't we lucky that we know, aren't we lucky We can feel the pull of the moon. Deep inside our hearts, we can feel the pull of the moon. As you show me that you know me and you wrap your arms around me Tell me nobody will harm me anymore We are the Earth, we are the Air As you gently pull my hair back from my face Out of my eyes you smile so wide I love you baby, Let’s face our fears together, a rock in any weather You and me were meant to be, it’s all destiny Can you see us in the stars? We can feel the pull of the moon Deep inside our hearts, we can feel the pull of the moon. you're all I want, you're all I need you're all I want, you're such a dream this is heaven, it’s heaven, it’s heaven

UNWOUND AND BROKEN Some days all I can think about are the things I've done wrong as I've stumbled along. Some days there's no hope at play. There’s no love to attain. No stopping the pain. No fun. I can’t keep feeling this way I feel like I'm going insane I can’t help feeling this way I feel like going away I'm just a hollow sound, A woman unwound and broken. I used to care enough to try, Try and find reasons. I used to laugh until I cried I soaked up every season. But now I only want to be alone and yet I'm still yearning for someone to save me and take me home. Save sadness returning. I can’t keep feeling this way I feel like I'm going insane I can’t keep feeling this way I feel like going away I'm just a hollow sound, A woman unwound and broken. Sick of this town, all I feel is down Heaviness hinders Loneliness lingers There's nothing around here for me. Take me away to another place, into the stars Somewhere nowhere Somewhere everywhere Somewhere far. I can’t keep feeling this way I feel like I'm going insane I can’t keep feeling this way I feel like going away I'm just a hollow sound, A woman unwound and broken.

NO NEED TO BE LONELY You've gone and got my heart, baby You've gone and got my mind. We'll never come apart, sugar Our souls are intertwined. You turn me on – OH Kiss me like you want me, honey Hold me like you care I won't toy with you, sweet darling My love I do declare You turn me on – OH You turn me on, turn me turn me You turn me on You turn me on, there’s no need to be lonely. We've only just begun We've only just begun You turn me on – OH You turn me on, turn me turn me You turn me on You turn me on, there’s no need to be lonely.

Want to Go 03:18
WANT TO GO I don’t know how many times I’ve told you Told you this You make no sense after Absinthe, it’s hit and miss Ten years on the wagon By now I know I’m always bored at parties and it always shows I don’t know anyone Who knows anyone And I don’t care I wanna go home Fuck making connections and talking shit I’ve been here for hours and everybody’s pissed There'll be no revelation, no new thought Just a pile of empty cans and some hours lost I don’t know any of Any of the right people And I don’t care I wanna go home

I Feel 04:13
I FEEL I feel like all my hope is gone. I feel I'll never meet someone. I feel no-one’s coming for my love. I feel my battleship has sunk. I feel such a waste of time. I feel everything but fine. I've got so much love to give but who wants a broken sensitive? I can’t cry myself to sleep anymore every other night. It hurts so bad. The loneliness. I don't know who could ever, ever make it right. I feel. I feel. I feel too much of a mess to fake a smile. I feel on the far side. I feel nothing matters anymore. I feel like the saddest girl in the world. I can’t cry myself to sleep anymore every other night. It hurts so bad. The loneliness. I don't know who could ever, ever make it right. I feel. I feel. When the morning comes and I wake alone day after day I just can't take the pain. But I’m all or nothing, I'm all or nothing. I feel. I feel. I feel. I feel. I feel like all my hope is gone. I feel I'll never meet someone. I feel no-one’s coming for my love. I feel my battleship has sunk.

You 04:41
YOU I didn't foresee the way the day would run away from me. Like a clown I ran around town. Crossed the road between the cars Weaved through a thousand faces, going different places But you, you you you -oo -oo were never far from my thoughts it’s true -oo -oo -oo -oo it’s true, it’s true I didn't foresee the way the rain would drizzle down on me Or the longest queue just before noon. And my, my heart sank in the bank, As I stood and shuffled slowly on, stood and shuffled slowly on, stood and shuffled... But you, you you you -oo -oo were never far from my thoughts it’s true -oo -oo -oo -oo it’s true, it’s true After all the waiting and the painful easy listening blaring from the ceiling. Through bits of calls and conversations, thoughts and observations I did reach the place and – finally – asked for my money. So when she looked up from the screen through her glasses at me and said That’s what I owed not what I had I had to laugh, I had to laugh, before I left. I didn't foresee the way the day would run away from me the thoughts of you that got me through You're like a prism casting rainbows on the carpet of my soul The story unfolds Your hand I hold Your love is gold And you, you you you -oo -oo were never far from my heart it’s true -oo -oo -oo -oo it’s true, it’s true, it’s true, it’s true, it’s true.

Way Down Low 03:39
WAY DOWN LOW Way down low, the dream is dead and gone I’m in a hole, Blackness has my brain. Never want to feel the pain Write another lonely song again. Way down low, a downward slope Looked around but I got nothing Throw me down some rope Never want to feel the pain Write another lonely song again. Way down low, down so low. Solo. Such a sinking feeling Wading through the snow. Never want to feel the pain Write another lonely song again. Way down low, I need some hope My kingdom for some light. A decent heart and soul. Never want to feel the pain Write another lonely song again.
