The Lights Go Down 04:16
lyrics
The Lights Go Down (Intro) Watching all the Vampires In fast cars Down on the sunset strip Loving all the Fucked up phantoms The glamour soul retro hip (Chorus) Then the lights go down In tinsel town Yeah, the lights go down Down...... (Verse 1) There's a party There's a nightclub Shooting shots from a glass, Strobe lights And fist fights Can't defuse a bomb blast (Chorus) When the lights go down In tinsel town Hell, the lights go down Down.... (Verse 2) There's a roundup There are squad cars Shouted orders, 'Hands up!', There are sirens And drawn guns By trigger happy cops (Chorus) When the lights go down In tinsel town Oh yeah, the lights go down Down... (Verse 3) Where's the party Post the nightclub It's happening in the downtown jail, There'll be sore heads And with some dread That thay may not even make bail (Chorus) Then the lights go down In tinsel town Yeah, the lights go down Down.... Written by Simon Wright (February 2024)

(Here Comes) The Night 03:54
lyrics
Verse There can be no more to see I can feel it that you’re loving me Will we make it to the end And will you still be my good good friend? Pre I never questioned anything you said For the fear of breaking the thread I never wanted anything more Than we have got right now Chorus Here comes the night Swallowing the day All of the bad thoughts just drift away And the echoes the things we’re afraid to say Here comes the night And ushers in the darkest hours The spoken word, like the arrow flown Hits very wide of the mark Verse All the things You think you know They just up pack their bags and go Fighting to the very end I can’t afford to lose another good friend Pre I never questioned anything you said For the fear of breaking the thread I never needed anything more Than we have right back then Chorus Here comes the night Swallowing the day All of the bad thoughts just drift away And the echoes the things we’re afraid to say Here comes the night And ushers in the darkest hours The spoken word, like the arrow flown Hits very wide of the mark bridge And never say never, never ever again We only regret thing we’ve never done And I would do it all over again

Find Your Light 04:09
lyrics
Lyrics Find Your Light © 2023 Cindy Prince Light as air You raise me up So like a cloud Resting in my cup The shadows fell away Now you're full of light In dreams you float Or fly through the night The dark is no more There isn't a cave Your sea is coming in Wave after wave Other lights shine now All across the land There is so much beauty Gleaming and grand Chorus The sun shines on you And you seem to glow (Oh oh) Nothing is eclipsed Boy you put on a show The stars are all yours Twinkling in the sky (Oh why? ) Your voice is sweet Just like a lullaby Bridge In the dark When I'm alone I try to find your light I see a spark I am home My world is bright Repeat chorus

Heart of the Machine 03:43
lyrics
Heart of the Machine V1 The road is rising up on me As I ride on thru the night The noise it feeds my soul And make all things seem just right V2 Hunt down the horizon Like its some wild living ferrule beast Naked human nature now A shining light from the east3 Pre I’ll burn the road up to make it back to you Living to ride is just everything I do Ch In the heart of the machine Riding thru the night In the heart of the machine Everything I feel is right V3 Cold on the outside But man I feel alive inside Get on you bike now Get on your bike and man just ride

Unbalanced Reality 03:14
lyrics
Unbalanced Reality I turn on the screen What do I see? Manufactured drama Sold as reality I can see the holes In people's goals Set up to be special Looking like such assholes I see the bias From the fires Micro managed stories You could call them liars I can see the holes In people's souls Set up to be special Looking like such assholes I won't be hooked in When it all begins The message means Nothing to me Unbalanced reality What are we feeding the young is this what we're marketing As fun Beach fit bodies gormless in the sun Give m e call when this stupid trend is done

(Say You'll) Remember Me 04:40
lyrics
Verse 1 I’m giving up on compromising I always get the raw end of the deal I feel like I’m on Death Row And don’t know what to eat for my last meal Verse 2 I offered you my deepest secrets You shared them with the whole world one by one I asked you why you did it to me You told me it was nothing but good fun Verse 3 Every choice seems existential When you’re not sure what is and isn’t real That’s why I chose oblivion At least that way I didn’t have to feel Verse 4 Then I woke up this morning With imprints of my heart left on my sleeve When a man can’t even hide in the darkness Please tell me what it is I should believe (Chorus) Make your heart tender again Say you’ll remember me (2X)

Over & Over 04:48
lyrics
Over and Over V1 over time over years we connect with those here we connect we reach we care V2 over words over songs we find love that is dear we find love to hold to share C over and over as we grow older wonder and love nourish our souls over and over as we grow closer stories and tears help us let go V3 over time over years we explore what we dare we explore what’s here what’s there V4 over words over songs we may chase what we fear we may chase our truths our tears C over and over as we grow older wonder and love nourish our souls over and over as we grow closer stories and tears help us let go B but today we’ve just begun so let’s connect enjoy the fun before this is over over and done C over and over as we grow older wonder and love nourish our souls over and over as we grow closer stories and tears help us let go

Seems Like Summer's Over 05:54
lyrics
The waves on the beach Sang their “school’s out” song And each time that you turned to me I knew our love was strong The pelicans flew And you reached out for my hand Your eyes said, “Come on! baby” And we raced on the sand Spread a blanket on the grass On the 4th day of July You snuggled up so closely now As the fire hit the sky When August moved on in Every kiss just felt so deep Your face was in my dreams Every night as I’d sleep (Chorus) Now it’s early September The leaves are still green The heat feels like a weight on you If you know what I mean In spite of all that Your hand’s are feeling colder There’s autumn in your eyes It seems like summer’s over (2) (Bridge) For months and months, love flowed freely Tomorrow put up no great resistance Today every bird that’s flying far overhead Reminds us that the future means distance (Chorus) Now it’s early September The leaves are still green The heat’s like a weight on you If you know what I mean In spite of all that Your hand’s are feeling colder There’s autumn in your eyes It seems like summer’s over (Chorus) Now it’s early September The leaves are still green The heat’s like a weight If you know what I mean In spite of all that Your hand’s feeling colder There’s autumn in your eyes It seems like summer’s over 2

The Reason Why 03:22
lyrics
How do I count the ways That my heart bleeds for you I am such a lucky man To be chosen for love by you Can’t find the reason why Can’t find it all Hope I’m here forever child And you catch me if I fall I know the reason why You love me like you do I hold your soul in my very hand And I take good care of you

They Hate Us 05:36
lyrics
They hate you Why can’t you see it they hate you They treat you like something That they found clinging to the bottom of their shoe They hate you Treat you with uttter contempt They hate you What they say is what they meant But you follow these charlatans As they lead you to the edge of doom They tell you existential lies That it will all be over soon But it’s all about control To keep you in your place If you’re convinced the world is ending soon They will grant you no days of grace And I see them all In their private jets Lording it over us all We have to stick together now We have to make them fall Their intentions are malign Swaddled in a veil of tears Wake the fuck up now or You won’t have many more years They hate you, Seriously they hate you Take them at their word They mean just what they say They hate you Hold you in uttter contempt They hate you What they say is what they meant Don’t follow these charlatans As they lead you to the edge of doom Ignore theiir existential lies And it will all be over soon It’s all about control Keeping us in our place We all need to get angry now And fuck up this place If they get to rule the world then we are effectively dead We are walking and breathing but we might as well be dead

Never Stop 04:33
lyrics
V1 Not much time Until you take it all away from me, again Hard as I may try, I can’t break through the barriers On my soul. V2 When you wake in the morning With the day stretched out ahead All you hear are the calling voices Running around your inside your head Oh oh V2 You should take your time And savour every moment gifted to you Cos it can dissappear, and drift into the waters Like morning dew V4 There will always be answers If you look quite close enough But to the blindman all is dark Never finding that divine spark Ch You can never stop Don’t care if it’s right or not Don’t find your path back home Lie and die alone
13.
Broken Promises 04:26
lyrics
V1 All those things That you have failed to do for me Hang in the air like frozen verses That don’t belong to me When you try To justify your reasoning I confess I cannot see Why you’d do those things to me Pre It would not be so bad Without your promises I could live with disappointment. But not with the forgotten misses Ch Your broken promises Bring us 1 a sea of tears It brings us to the edge of destruction In such a short time in years V2 Though we try We cannot break away You’ve wiped away our basic freedoms With what we do and say Can you stop “protecting” me I am a free born man Free to make my own mistakes And carry my own can Pre It would not be so bad Without your promises I could live with disappointment But not with the forgotten misses B Tell me it’s not over yet And something soon will change Free us from our hopelessness Free us from our chains
14.
So Unexpected 02:40
lyrics
So Unexpected V1 her tenderness sailed like a feather in the wind gently landing at my feet her kindness drifted like a fragrance in the air infusing the heart upon my sleeve V2 her gentleness landed like a songbird on a twig softly reaching into my soul her goodness floated like a flower in a stream bringing beauty to all I know C1 her tenderness and kindness were so unexpected especially for someone.. someone like me.. it was hard to trust, hard to trust, hard to trust and to believe… C2 her gentleness and goodness were so unexpected especially for someone.. someone like me.. it was hard to trust and to believe… B she embraced compassion and she showed empathy she embodied gratitude and she brought humility to all she was… and all the love she gave me… C1 her tenderness and kindness were so unexpected especially for someone.. someone like me… C2 her gentleness and goodness were so unexpected especially for someone.. someone like me.. it was hard to trust but now I believe…

The Big Shot 03:08
lyrics
THE BIG SHOT he was a big shot in a small town he made the front page when he cut his hair he lost his way in the high ground now he’s a nobody from nowhere when they told him to get out of town he just moved on to the next one of bigger fish with smaller mouths more mental floss is spun the peddlars are still peddling the whole country is trembling congressswomen are assembling but he’s doing all the questioning he knows what they are feelin' by the color of the tea they are drinkin' he knows what they will say because he knows what they are thinkin’ big shot on the high seas got the nobel peace prize when he killed the first born yeah he’s a big shot on a sinking ship he’ll be swallowed up like a kernel of corn

City Lights 05:02
lyrics
V1 Life in the city Living it true All you ever wanted Can be given to you Life in the fast lane Straight down the tracks Shake the dust from your boots And never look back V2 It’s wild in the city Wild and untamed Music seeps through every pore No need to feel ashamed These are my people This is my place Cruising on down For a great change of pace Pre It’s breaking out all over, over Look behind you that’s your brother in tow Sister hear me, sister love me We got such a very long way to go Chorus Life in the City Man it ain’t pretty But this is the place That we all call home Never gonna leave it Always gonna love it Cos this is the place That we call home V3 Parts of the city Falling apart Tears at the very root of my heart Death and decay Might be coming your way I hope that we live to fight Another day

Sleepwalking 04:50
lyrics
Ch Sleepwalking home In a dream of my own making Don’t try to wake up Stay still and win it all (2) Sometimes life can be so hard That you just sleep it all away Stay inside your deaming world Pay no heed to break of day What could go wrong? How could you fail? Use the power of your mind To blaze a glory trail Can’t pin down the moment When i realised I’d found the truth That I love you only In my mind Though you try to find me I’m hidden in my thoughts sublime Looking out behind me Is danger looming fast?
19.
Eve of Destruction 06:36
lyrics
Eve of Destruction V1 What if there is no tomorrow? And the mountains are drifting away from you What can never see, well that can never be And you know that I still feel for you Riding the train on the eve of destruction Playing the games while we hurtle to the edge Many brought us here, with a rousing cheer But I have no mercy for the likes of them Pre Destruction Combustion Addicted to the world that we once knew Never undersold or over bought We’ve lost all the wars in which we ever fought Ch On the eve of destuction The day before we die Ask me what I’m thinking about And why I never cry Its too late for me It’s too late for for us The sun is dying in the sky And noone to cares to ask why V2 Small time mind, small time soul Caring about nothing at all, as long as the good times roll And you make your way Pushing it all aside Laughing like a manaic Who’s alomng for the ride Pre Ch Bridge Ch

Unknown Times 03:45
lyrics
Like a feeling Surging upwards Make me feel the lovin’ warmth of you again I made so for me And i can do it again How could you ever be Anything less to me? And Oh, i want to know How does your garden grow
21.
Whatever Happens Next 05:54
lyrics
Whatever Happens Next V1 I could never sleep alone And never by your side The only time you felt like home Was when you smiled and you lied I longed to make a home with you A place we both could breathe Where lies of love become true And you would never leave V2 I could never share my dreams With anyone but you And when you up and left me You took them with you, too It's a good thing I never built that house Or set roots down in the ground Or asked you to please be mine Or dug up all I found Chorus You chose your own adventure You turned the page and you went there And whatever happened next I’ll never know But I hope you grow. I hope you grow. Bridge I miss you so my body aches I even miss your lies And I miss all of our mistakes But look toward open skies (2) V3 Sometimes the road ahead is rough But so’s the road behind Just moving on might just be enough To soothe my troubled mind I chose my own adventure Turned the page and I went there And whatever happens next I’ve yet to know But I hope I grow.

Fear the Sun 03:36
lyrics
Why would you fear the sun (fear the sun) Do you think you’re the only one (tell me you’re the only one( Evidence about the past (all about the past) And wondered if the future lasts (will the future lasy) Why would you fear the rain (fear the rain) As it washes you clean again n(washes you clean again) The crimson touch of the hand of God (Hand of God!( Carried away by the good squad And this could be The greatest thing for me And help me fly, up into the sky (oh yeah) Never begin Trying to be understanding about it Take it all in Stand on the mountain and shout about it

Fading Horizons 04:28
lyrics
What do you do now When horizons start to fade And all that you can think about Are all the mistakes, that you might have made I find that I can’t be] The man I want to be It’s never Forever Not for you and me I can never go home Can’t find my way, you’re not with me I can try to be strong But all my strength is leaving me Chorus Fading out, fading in We begin it all again Out on the fsding horizon Nevert to be seen again Bridge Tell me know what do you see When you look into the heart of me Can you see my soul? And can you make it whole
24.
Heartbeat 04:24
lyrics
V1 I can’t say what I need You can’t feel what is real Only what we see here today And so quite uncharacterisatically I’m left with nothing to say V2 And you’re playing your games It is always the same It circles around onto me And when all the dust, just dissappears We’re all left with nothing to say Pre I see the warning signs, now Everywhere I look I think that I must be The greatest risk you ever took Chorus Hearbeat I feel alive Feel it in my blood inside Feel it in my soul You know you make me whole bridge Never ask a question You don’t know the answer to Rockin the foundations Will bring the walls on top of you
