Track 01: Think Too Much
I’m told I think too much
Stare at the sea too deeply
Same goes for the wind and the rain
Blowing round my overweight brain
I take serious things too seriously
Maybe I look for problems
Trying to work out what is really going on
Losing sight of what is true, apparently
I take serious things too seriously
I’m told I think too much
Stare at the sea too deeply
Same goes for the wind and the rain
Blowing round my overweight brain
I take serious things too seriously
I take serious things too seriously
Track 02: Tomorrow
Tomorrow
I will be there by your side
Read you stories and say goodnight
I’m just a little too busy right now
Tomorrow
We will run wild through the trees
Play make believe with cups of tea
I know you believe in me
Yes we will borrow
More time tomorrow
Turn a new page
Our very own golden age
Tomorrow things will change
Tomorrow
We’ll put away our mobile phones
Sail a satellite and signal home
I’m just unavailable right now
Oh cos tomorrow
There’ll be no sorrow
There’ll be no pain
Sunshine instead of rain
Yes we will borrow
More time tomorrow
Let me explain
Tomorrow things will –
Change in a day like a butterfly
We’ll spread our wings in a perfect sky –
Oh cos tomorrow
There’ll be no sorrow
I promise
(Just let me finish this)
Yes we will borrow
More time tomorrow
No need to fret
We’ll do it (but not just yet)
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow things will change
06 Too Tired to Fight
I’m too tired to fight
Yes I’m too tired to fight
I’ve got the arguments in my head
They tumble out like stones
We’re using catapults these days – to break each others bones
But I’m just too tired to fight
I wanna go to the country, yeah a day by the sea
We wouldn’t need much money
It’d just be you and me
Unless we happen to run into a man selling things on the beach – I guess
And no matter what he had to sell – well the answer would be, Yes yes yes!
Oh – when I think of the waves and how they roll
Well there’s you and me and a chance to be – whatever’s in our soul
We watch them roll…
I wanna go to the country I want a day in the sun
We could make up a picnic – drive around for fun
Maybe check into a hotel where the man is asleep at the desk
And no matter what the state of the room well the answer would be, ‘Yes yes yes!’
Oh – when I think of the waves and how they roll
We used to hang around like a dressing gown
With no real need to go
We watch them roll…
I’m too tired to fight
Yes I’m too tired to fight
I’ve got the arguments in my head
They tumble out like stones
We’re using catapults these days to break each others bones
But I’m too tired to fight
Yes I’m too tired to fight
We’ve got so many habits now as we fold up our clothes
I can see our arguments stacked in little rows
But I’m just too tired…
I’m way to tired – yes I’m just too tired to fight
03 Some Dreams are Always out of Reach
Some dreams are always out of reach
As juicy as a peach
That’s hanging just too high in a tree
But the boy’s in love
Like a hero flies
He can see her falling from heaven above
With his x-ray eyes
Some dreams are like a rainbow
Too high to ever come down
He’s just no action hero
All he can do is stare from the ground…
Some dreams are always out of reach
As pretty as a beach that’s on the other side of the sea
Some dreams are always out of reach
You see it in his eyes, with this boy
And the days go by
Still he dreams at night
He can see her drop another grape in his mouth
Yes, it feels so right
The moon shines through his window
And from his world he stares
He’d love to take her dancing
So he pretends, by holding a chair
Some dreams are always out of reach
No matter what they preach, there ain’t so many fish in the sea
Some dreams are always out of reach
You see it in his eyes, with this boy
All his dreams, are butterflies
Trying so hard to fly
In summertime, the sun will climb
As they beat their wings
Suddenly they’re here, then they disappear
Some dreams are always out of reach
As juicy as a peach, that’s hanging just too high in a tree
Some dreams are always out of reach
You see it in his eyes with this boy
Some dreams are always out of reach
04 I Never Wanted to be Famous, but...
I never wanted to be famous
But I did have some big plans
And maybe I was just a little greedy
Wanting so many fans
See me on the magazines
Looking like a Libertine
I wouldn’t be just a celebrity
Cos I would have too much integrity
What if one day
God makes me pay
Maybe he already has
Judging by my photographs
I never wanted to be worshipped
But I did just want to see
What it would it be like if they all held hands
And sung a hymn to me
I guess it’s only fair enough
I was never really very tough
And everybody needs a fantasy
I only wanted immortality
What if one day
God makes me pay
Maybe he already has
Judging by the way I dance
I never wanted to be like King Kong
never wanted to be big
But I could do with a handful of blondes
Screaming out at a gig
I never wanted to be Christ-like
But I could have done with the cash
Just enough to buy a helicopter
Well what’s wrong with that?
Imagining my name in lights
Was something I would do on Monday nights
And on any other given day
The thought was never very far away
So what if one day
God makes me pay
Maybe he already has
No-one wants my autograph
What if one day
God makes me pay
Everybody clap your hands
And maybe He will understand…
05 Black & Blue
When I first met you I was blue
When I first met you I was green, and so were you
Those early days, when everything felt right
How was I supposed to know the future wasn’t bright?
I still remember your first lies
Those yellow stories, made me feel black inside
And I imagined, when you called me from his bed
Your lips oh so red as you turned around and said:
‘Oh don’t say good bye I only told you white lies’
No I would never lie to you
I only hurt you cos my heart was black and blue
A fine performance by the girl who always knew
How to fake it…
I remember golden leaves
Turning brown as I went down on one knee
Almost blue that little diamond ring
We were in the Autumn, pretending it was spring
But in the end, I let it go
There’s just no point in chasing a rainbow
And looking back, I guess that you could say:
I lost a lot of green but gained a little grey
‘Oh don’t say good bye I only told you white lies’
No, I would never lie to you
I only hurt you cos my heart was black and blue
A fine performance by the girl who always knew
How to fake it…
In the way that some girls do
