YOU ARE YOUNG
Fearful child, have faith in brighter days
Stay until this darkness fades away
Lie still beside me
Ill hold you now, Ill hold you forever
Winters hand will freeze your heart again
Doors will close, no time to start again
Nothing is given
Except the ties that hold us together
Lay down your load
Because every day its going to grow
And bask in the sunshine
Try to pay no mind,
Try to pay no mind at all
To all the things that you dont know
Youve got time to realise youre shielded by the
hands of love
Because you are young
Fading light may make a fool of me
Courage fail, strength slip away from me
Lie still beside me
And hold me now and hold me forever

Lay down your load
Because every day its going to grow
These days are sacred
Hey now dont be scared
Baby dont be scared at all
Of all the things that you dont know
Youve got time to realise youre shielded by the
hands of love
Because you are young
Youve got time, youve got to try to bring some
good into this world
Because you are young
SILENCED BY THE NIGHT
In a city like mine theres no point in ghting
I close my eyes, see you and me driving
If I am a river, you are the ocean
Got the radio on, got the wheels in motion
We were silenced by the night
But you and I, were gonna rise again
Divided from the light
I want to love the way we used to then
I lie in the dark, I feel Im falling
Feel your hand on my back, hear your voice calling
Im out of my depth, girl stick close to me
Because the people in this town,
they look straight through me
We were silenced by the night
But you and I, were gonna rise again
Divided from the light
I want to love the way we used to then
Because baby Im not scared of this world when youre here
No baby Im not scared of this world when youre here
Oh you and I were gonna rise again
Oh you and I were gonna rise again
We were silenced by the night
But you and I, were gonna rise again
Divided from the light
I want to love the way we used to then
DISCONNECTED
Somethings crept in under our door
Silent, soaking through the oor
Pinching like a stone in my shoe
Some chemical thats breaking down the glue
Thats been binding me to you
Ooh I feel like I just dont know you anymore
But Ive been burned and Ive been wrong so many times
We walk in circles, the blind leading the blind
Well, I thought that love watched over this house
But youre boarding up the windows now
Weve been leaning on each other so hard
Tied so tight we wound up miles apart
Making simple things so hard
Ooh I feel like I just dont know you anymore
But Ive been burned and Ive been down so many times
We walk in circles, the blind leading the blind
Weve been disconnected somehow
Theres an invisible wall between us now
But Ive been wrong and Ive been down so many times
We walk in circles, the blind leading the blind
I see the landscape change before my eyes
The features Ive been navigating by
No, nothing looks the way it did before
I dont know where to look, or what to look for
I feel like I just dont know you anymore
But Ive been burned and Ive been down so many times
We walk in circles, the blind leading the blind
Weve been disconnected somehow
Theres an invisible wall between us now
But Ive been wrong and Ive been down so many times
We walk in circles, the blind leading the blind
Weve been disconnected somehow
Theres an invisible wall between us now
WATCH HOW YOU GO
The more we rush about, the less we do
I never saw you drift away
The more we spin around, the less we move
I never saw your spirit break
I wish that I could be your journeys end
But you were only passing through, yeah
Its not for me to try to steer your way
I wish you well in all you do
Just say youll watch how you go
Be gracious with your light
And may the years be kind now
Just say youll mind how you roll
The things that we have shared
Will soon be left behind now
I hope you know that youre a graceful soul
You ll the room with hope and light
Its only right that you should go your way
Because nothing ever lasts that long
The things that we have shared
Will still remain behind now
SOVEREIGN LIGHT CAF
Im going back to a time when we owned this town
Down Powdermill Lane and the battlegrounds
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns
I didnt know I was nding out how Id be torn
from you
When we talked about things we were going to do
We were wide-eyed dreamers, and wiser too
Wed go down to the rides on East Parade
By the lights of the Palace Arcade
And watch night coming down
On the Sovereign Light Caf
Im begging you for some sign
But youve still got nothing to say
Dont turn your back on me, dont walk away
Im a better man now than I was that day
Lets go down to the rides on East Parade
By the lights of the Palace Arcade
And watch night coming down
On the Sovereign Light Caf
Lets go down to the bandstand on the pier
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
To take turns as the stars
Of the Sovereign Light Caf
I wheel my bike off the train
Up the North Trade Road
And look for you in Marley Lane
In every building, every street sign
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?
Well youve got nothing to hide
You cant change who you really are
You can get a big house and a faster car
You can run away boy, but you wont go far
Yeah Im going where the people know my name
ON THE ROAD
Have you been feeling that pull?
And are you hearing that call?
Because youve got everything that you need to make a start
I had a dream of my own
Just walking out of my home
And going I dont know where to sing beneath the stars
Your whole life lies ahead
Its just around the bend
So when the sun is coming up and you go
And theres still so many things you dont know
Dont you look back, Ive no doubt that I
Will see you on the road
And when the worlds laying you low
Why dont you let me carry your load
When things get bad, you know youll have a friend
All along the road
And I would love it some time
If you would walk at my side
Going I dont know where to sleep beneath the stars
If in your life you need a hand
Reaching the promised land
Golden light lies ahead
Its just around the bend
So when the sun is coming up and you go
And theres still so many things you dont know
Dont you look back, Ive no doubt that I
Will see you on the road
And when the worlds laying you low
Why dont you let me carry your load
When things get bad, you know youll have a friend
All along the road
So when the sun is coming up and you go
And theres still so many things you dont know
Dont you look back, Ive no doubt that I
Will meet you on the road
And when the worlds laying you low
Dont you let it rattle your bones
Sometimes the dream itself can keep you safe
All along the road
THE STARTING LINE
This town was our lovers stage
But now you cant recognise
The streetlights that are daggers to your eyes
You cant nd your bearings
Youre slipping into the ground
The scene has no colour and no sound
Do you still believe in me
After the things Ive done?
Do you fear for what we have become?
The ground is uneven
We stumble from day to day
But shelter where its easy
I know your feet are like lead
But youve got to get underway
Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
Its too easy to get left behind
I know youve been kicked around
But tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me
Each heart is a paper kite
Blown around by the breeze
Love wont rest till it brings you to your knees
Some nd it easy
Some will never even know
You think youve done your journey
Then you stumble and nd that theres such
a long way to go
Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
Its too easy to get left behind
I know youve been kicked around
You want to be lost and not be found
But lets take the back way into town
And drink to the bad times
Lay them down on me
Girl I still believe in you
Youre too good to fall so low
Were going to nd a better life I know
Things will be clearer
And soon as we make a start
Well be that much nearer
Were too old to just stand here
Waiting to break apart
BLACK RAIN
I open my eyes, everything shines
We swim as the breeze blows down the coast
Down on my luck, breathing my last
Dirty your hands, carry me home
Red sky turning round, black rain falling round
If youve got love youd better hope that thats enough
Sandstorm cuts your skin, Black Kites circling
If youve got love youd better hope that thats enough
We came from the south to Lebanons shore
Folded our clothes, dived into peace
The blackest of seas glittering red
Lit by the re over our heads
Red sky turning round, black rain falling round
If youve got love youd better hope that thats enough
Sandstorm cuts your skin, Sunbirds circling
If youve got love youd better hope that thats enough
Youd better hope that thats enough
NEON RIVER
Well you were happy where you were
But that girl she reeled you in
This town was never good enough
Because she was going to everything
And if you ever spoke of love
She just smiled and put you down
Because she was making other plans
She had a vision of light and sound
She said the neon on the river will light my way
And everything that weve been dreaming of,
Well make it real one day
So save your money, pack your bag
Wed better run before we disappear
She took the train into the city
But youre still here
You hear a song that takes you back
To some long-forgotten night
And friends who said they had your back
But they just turned and ran and let you ght
And on the bowling alley wall
You used all your smartest lines
But theyve been painted over now
Looks like youre going to get left behind
She said the neon on the river will light my way
And all the things that weve been dreaming of,
Well make them real one day
So save your money, pack your bag
I want to run with you on Stamford Hill
She took the train into the city
But you stood still
You stood still above the track
You knew as you watched her go
That she was never coming back
You stuck to places that you know
You said you were scared of heights
And that you didnt want to go
Where everyone else goes
DAY WILL COME
The winter night has wrapped a rag around your eyes
And stolen your sight
Oh you seem so far away
I hope youll nd your way back some day
I miss you, I miss you
Some days set your world on re
And some days they sink like stones
Thats when your heart will cry out
Until your body is numb
And the night will try to tempt you
But the day will come
We dream hard, we shoot high
Sometimes our ngers graze the sky
But we cant hold on
Some days set your world on re
And some days they sink like stones
Thats when your heart will cry out
Until your body is numb
And the night will try to tempt you
But the day will come
Brother dont hang your head
Until your distance is run
Because though it seems so far away
You know the day will come
IN YOUR OWN TIME
Youve got nowhere to go
Got no way out of this hole
Got no one to say its all just the way things are
Well wouldnt it be good
To look into a brighter day
Its just the way things are
In your own time
Theres no map to guide our way
So I say nothing, you say nothing
In your own way
Thought I could help you nd your place
But Im as lost as you are lost these days
Oh wouldnt it be ne
To close your eyes and see something
Something more than this
In your own time
Theres no map to guide our way
So I say nothing, you say nothing
In your own way
Thought I could help you nd your place
But Im as lost as you are lost
Its not the way
Things are going to change you know
The battles you have fought wont go to waste you know
Things are going to change, it just takes time
In your own time
Theres no map to guide our way
So I say nothing, you say nothing
In your own way
Thought I could help you nd your place
But Im as lost as you are lost
Its just the way
SEA FOG
The sun bleeds in, hear the magpie sing for sorrow
It makes things better
Maybe well get to spread our wings tomorrow
If luck will let us
Can anyone y into these grey skies?
Is there somewhere Im meant to be?
Sea fog comes, like a river rolls a stone
Its rolling me
I missed my turn in the dark - I hear your voice
It makes things easy
I strayed too far from the road
Wish you could always make things easy
And I wont ght through the rising tide
If thats the way it has to be
Sea fog comes, like a river rolls a stone
Its rolling me
Sea fog comes, like a river rolls a stone
Its rolling me
Sea fog rolling, sea fog rolling, sea fog rolling
STRANGELAND
Lover I remember laying out our map
Throwing our possessions in the van
Your tapes piled on the back seat
And a camera in your hand
Dressed for our arrival in the strangeland
Strangeland blind
You got no reason, you got no rhyme
You get no time to put things right, to put things right
We drove across the border as the winter rains ran dry
And only tful birdsong lled the sky
You threw your head back, screaming
As we raced across wet sand
And leapt into the waters of the strangeland
(Chorus)
You wound the rope around me
And you pulled the knots in tight
And shook me like a bad dream from your sight
And now the things Ive done to forget you
Well its not what I had planned
The sweetest thoughts get twisted in the strangeland
Strangeland blind
You got no reason, you got no rhyme
You get no time to put things right, to put things
Strangeland dreams
You tore my baby away from me
We get no time to put things right, to put things right
You get no time to put things right, to put things right
To put things right, to put things right
RUN WITH ME
Well you could write it in the dirt girl
Write it on a ten pound note
Everything that I have learned so far
Nothings worth knowing till you know your part
Times are getting leaner
If ever you were on my side
Oh how I wish that you were stood here now
Leading me to shelter when the night comes down
Baby, you said, Were not ever gonna go home.
And Baby, will you run with me wherever I go?
Well its the pressure of the years girl
Burning little holes in love
Till we make every little thing so hard
Nothing comes easy to a cage-like heart
Now the light is failing
If ever you were at my side
Then love I need you to be stood there now
Down to the wire where the bad ones go
Baby, you said, Were not ever gonna go home.
And Baby, will you run with me wherever I go?
Well maybe those words never really mattered at all
But lately those words run with me wherever I go
THE BOYS
The boys are grinning from the photograph
Its Friday night and theyre trying so hard
The sun is dropping and they want to go
Driving into town to see some girls they know
The boys, blazing on a summer night
Girls they want to watch them ride
Is that the way it was before?
Because I dont remember.
Boys, friends at every bar in town
Running all the good days down
Is that the way it was before?
Because I dont remember.
We felt like ghters when we caught the plane
Until that day wed never heard its name
We did some things we didnt understand
And now we feel like strangers in our own land
The boys, blazing on a summer night
Girls they want to watch them ght
Is that the way it was before?
Because I cant remember.
Boys, friends at every bar in town
Running all the good days down
Is that the way it was before?
Because I cant remember.
This photograph, I hold it when I sleep
Because people soon stop asking
When I cannot explain what I have seen
And at the bars in town
All the boys in town
Are running all the good days down
Running all the good days down
Running all the good days down
All the good days down
ITS NOT TRUE
Youve been watching dawn from the gutter
Trading one bad move for another
Its been a stormy night but its almost through
Friends you once loved dont know you
Even your own eyes dont know you
You think this whole worlds trying to bury you
But its not true
So dont you say
Theres something in your core that cant be saved
Because its not true
And every atom of my heart is missing you
Well its OK to be scared when
Youre stuck behind a door that wont open
The shadows in your dreams that are chasing you
Theyre not true
So dont you say
Theres something in your core that cant be saved
Because its not true
And every atom of my heart is missing you
The good will come through
I wish that you could feel it the way you used to
I wish you could believe it the way you used to
The way you used to
