1 The Life Of Riley


Lost in the milky way,
Smile at empty sky and wait for
The moment a million chances may collide

I'll be the guiding light
Swim through to me from stars that shine down
And call to the sleeping world as they fall to Earth

So here's your life
We'll find a way
We're sailing blind
But certain nothing's for certain

I don't mind I get the feeling
You'll be fine, I still believe that
In this world we've got to find the time
For the life of riley

From cradles and sleepless nights
You breathe in life forever
And stare at the world from deep under eiderdown

So here's your life
We'll find a way
We're sailing blind
But certain nothing's for certain

I don't mind, I get the feeling
You'll be fine, I still believe that
In this world we've got to find the time
For the first time
I don't mind, I get the feeling
You'll be fine, I still believe that
In this world we've got to find the time
For the life of riley

Oh this world is a crazy ride
So take your seat and hold on tight

So here's your life
We'll find a way
We're sailing blind
But certain nothing's for certain

I don't mind, I get the feeling
You'll be fine, I still believe that
In this world we've got to find the time
For the first time
I don't mind, I get the feeling
You'll be fine, I still believe that
In this world we've got to find the time
For the life of riley

The life of riley,
The life of riley,
The life of riley

2 Sense


I'm flying on something beautiful and aimless
It's got a name but I prefer to call it nameless
It comes and goes and leaves me on a bed of splinters
Feel like I'm living in a town closed down for winter

The taste of love
The more you get, the more you want
And all because
The only reason is just because
It all makes sense
When you're near, it all makes sense

I'm standing high on tiptoes, looking over fences
Waiting for somebody like you to kiss me senseless
I've had a belly full of faces drawn in sadness
I want to jump deep into tides of loving madness

The taste of love
The more you get, the more you want
And all because
The only reason is just because
It all makes sense
When you're near, it all makes sense

The taste of love
The more you get, the more you want
And all because
The only reason is just because
It all makes sense
When you're near, it all makes sense

3 Blowing Bubbles


Up all night, talking in circles
Searching for reasons to save us
And keep it all painless

All the lies you've had to swallow
Just to face the world tomorrow...

Blowing bubbles, blowing bubbles, blowing bubbles, blowing bubbles
Blowing bubbles, blowing bubbles, blowing bubbles, blowing bubbles

The whole world can turn on a moment
Some things can come back and haunt you
They're too late to warn you

All the lies you've had to swallow
Just to face the world tomorrow...

Blowing bubbles, blowing bubbles, blowing bubbles, blowing bubbles
Blowing bubbles, blowing bubbles, blowing bubbles, blowing bubbles

Blowing bubbles, it's the final straw
They never last too long before a moment
Perfection is floating through an open door
Try and touch it but it turns to nothing

Drinking in the dead of night
Feel the clouds that sting your eyes
Locked your feelings deep inside
The growing pains that never die
You need to sweep the picture clean
Start to dream another dream
In this foggy yesterday that still reminds you

All the lies you've had to swallow
Just to face the world tomorrow...

Blowing bubbles, blowing bubbles, blowing bubbles, blowing bubbles
Blowing bubbles, blowing bubbles, blowing bubbles, blowing bubbles

Blowing bubbles, it's the final straw
They never last too long before a moment
Perfection is floating through an open door
Try and touch it but it turns to nothing

Blowing bubbles, blowing bubbles, blowing bubbles, blowing bubbles
Blowing bubbles, blowing bubbles, blowing bubbles, blowing bubbles

4 Pure


Night-time slows, raindrops splash rainbows
Perhaps someone you know could sparkle and shine
As daydreams slide colour from shadow
Picture the moonglow that dazzles my eyes
And I love you

Just lying, smiling in the dark
Shooting stars around your heart
Dreams come bouncing in your head
Pure and simple every time
Now you're crying in your sleep
I wish you'd never learned to weep
Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple every time

Dream of sights, of sleighrides in seasons
Where feelings not reasons, can make you decided
As leaves pour down, splash autumn on gardens
As colder nights harden, their moon lifts the lights
And I love you

Just lying, smiling in the dark
Shooting stars around your heart
Dreams come bouncing in your head
Pure and simple every time
Now you're crying in your sleep
I wish you'd never learned to weep
Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple every time

Look at me with starry eyes
Push me up to starry skies
There's stardust in my head
Pure and simple every time
Fresh & deep as oceans new
Shiver at the sight of you
I'll sing a song soft to tune
Pure and simple over you

If love's the truth then look no lies
And let me swim around your eyes
I've found the place I'll never leave
Shut my mouth and just believe
Love is the truth, I realise
Not a stream of pretty lies
To use us up, a waste of time

Just lying, smiling in the dark
Shooting stars around your heart
Dreams come bouncing in your head
Pure and simple every time
Now you're crying in your sleep
I wish you'd never learned to weep
Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple every time

Look at me with starry eyes
Push me up to starry skies
There's stardust in my head
Pure and simple every time
Fresh & deep as oceans new
Shiver at the sight of you
I'll sing a song soft to tune
Pure and simple over you

Pure and simple just for you

5 Sweet Dreams


He is coming down with some kind of cold
She's running round, he's feeling old
He needs the rest, but she wants more
And then he blows like a hurricane
Tears pour out and fall like rain

But she'll keep holding on
Cos it's all that she wants
And she's dreaming sweet dreams tonight
And with a smile that says
For him she's heavy-heaven sent
She's dreaming sweet dreams tonight

Let the wedding real, mmmm make me feel
Spin me round, like I was just a cloud

She is going down, down to the other side of town
With open eyes, and see the truth
But can't see more
Cos he might blow like a hurricane
Tears pour out and fall like rain

But she'll keep holding on
Cos it's all that she wants
And she's dreaming sweet dreams tonight
And with a smile that says
For him she's heavy-heaven sent
She's dreaming sweet dreams tonight

Oooh, you, you, you've got your hopes in me
I never want for you to set me free
Keep a hold on me

And he hopes she'll be coming
And he hopes she knows that he'll come running

But she'll keep holding on
Cos it's all that she wants
And she's dreaming sweet dreams tonight
And with a smile that says
For him she's heavy-heaven sent
She's dreaming sweet dreams tonight

She feels no pain, she feels no pain
She feels no pain, just sweet dreams tonight

You have to tell yourself to take the blows
Pack these bags and hope of times before
Ooohh, dreaming sweet dreams tonight...

6 All I Want


I can't ignore our hideaway
Can't escape from the things that line our way
Take it, leave it, break it
Any way you can get back to yesterday

All I want, all I want to do
Is make you listen from now on
Stop what's going on, stop what's going wrong
You'd better listen from now on

Confidence, coincidence
Call it a sin its just like people say
Tomorrows here so open up your eyes
Never hesistate

All I want, all I want to do
Is make you listen from now on
Cardboard men are strong, but paper can be torn
Oh you'd better listen from now on

It makes me want to give you everything
Pick you up and take you home again
Hold you tight and think that now is then

All I want to do, all I want to do
Is make you listen from now on
Stop what's going on, stop what's going wrong
You'd better listen from now on
Cardboard men are strong, but paper can be torn
Oh you'd better listen from now on
All I want to say, all I want to do
You'd better listen from now on

That's all I wanna say.

7 A Small Slice Of Heaven


The voice of reason is running with treason tonight
The laughing devil is chasing the angels away
The dog is barking, the baby's crying
And rainy days are multiplying
She says it's time to make decisions
Then turns on breakfast television

Life's a trial, but who did you leave behind?
And a small slice of heaven's all you could hope to find

The opera isn't over 'till the fat lady sings
Then she walks into town and pawns her eternity ring
She's leaving home, a dream in her pocket
A photograph in a silver locket
The party's over, she's not stopping
She's sick of lying, through with crying

Life's a trial, but who did you leave behind?
And a small slice of heaven's all you could hope to find

She's leaving home, a dream in her pocket
A photograph in a silver locket
The sky is open, clouds are fading
And that small slice of heaven's waiting

Life's a trial, but who did you leave behind?
And a small slice of heaven's all you could hope to find

Life's a trial, but who did you leave behind?
And a small slice of heaven's all you could hope to find

8 Love Explosion


Gone but not forgotten
Never mind how we spent our time
The hours were never lost on you
A mystery is what you are to me

Hold me tight for a million years
Your breath on mine, it's like holy wine
Lost inside those big brown eyes
Your lips touch mine and my eyes go blind

(Reaching up) skin touch skin,
(Reaching up) minds come down to the love explosion
Mission of sin, (we're reaching up)
Minds come down to the love explosion

A smile for all the moments
That made me hold my breath
Made me tell myself
The hours were never lost on you
A mystery is what you are to me

Hold me tight for a million years
Your breath on mine, it's like holy wine
Lost inside those big brown eyes
Your lips touch mine and my eyes go blind

(Reaching up) skin touch skin,
(Reaching up) minds come down to the love explosion
Mission of sin, (we're reaching up)
Minds come down to the love explosion

Running home to the love explosion...

(Reaching up) skin touch skin,
(Reaching up) minds come down to the love explosion
Mission of sin, (we're reaching up)
Minds come down to the love explosion

9 Don't Let Go


Hold tight, all night, don't let go
My head light, my hands are tied, I won't let go
Tonight, crystal lights surround me
Like stars that pour in a waterfall as love comes down

I found rainbows, where you go, I go,
I'm stuck on you, yes I'm stuck like glue
From kisses to blows, in our eyes it shows

Pleasure meets paradise, I won't let go
It's so nice, butterflies, don't let go
Tonight, no thunderclouds in my skies
In silver chains, the summer rain comes pouring down

I found rainbows, where you go, I go,
I'm stuck on you, yes I'm stuck like glue
From kisses to blows, in our eyes it shows

Here it comes, here it comes again
I reckon now, it's like a long-lost friend
Here it comes again

It's alright, I know I'm right, don't let go
Hold your breath, and don't forget, don't let go

I found rainbows, where you go, I go,
I'm stuck on you, yes I'm stuck like glue
From kisses to blows, in our eyes it shows

From kisses to blows, in our eyes it shows...

10 Joy


I never meant to make you cry
A fool I was, I never meant to say goodbye

Can't you feel the pressure drop
Can't you see the pressure's off
Heaven's here infront of me
I can't breathe and I can't speak
Baby I never realised...

As the days and nights roll on
I pray for the moments since the day I was born
But oh God, baby I never realised
The joy till the joy was gone

I know I'm wrong, I know I was so blind
And worst of all, I saw the tears, I saw you cry

Can't you feel the pressure drop
Can't you see the pressure's off
Heaven's here infront of me
I can't breathe and I can't speak
Baby I never realised...

As the days and nights roll on
I pray for the moments since the day I was born
But oh God, baby I never realised
The joy till the joy was gone

And you can build walls to surround me
But I'll tear down this world till I've found you
You're the treasure beneath me,
I need you - come home...

As the days and nights roll on
I pray for the moments since the day I was born
But oh God, baby I never realised
The joy till the joy was gone

And as time rolls on
I've been fighting since the day I was born
But oh God, baby I never realised
The joy till the joy was gone
Hold on, hold on, hold on

Baby I never realised
The joy till the joy was gone
Hold on, hold on, hold on

11 The Price


The honey taste still hangs on my tongue
There's so many things to tell you
But now you're gone, now you're gone...

The price of the words I could never say
Was the tears washed the love away
Please, please come back to me
The price as the smiles and the kisses fade
Was the hopes and memories say
Please, please come back to me

As I searched to find the reasons to bring you home
The only words I could find to tell you were
I was wrong, I was wrong

The price of the words I could never say
Was the tears washed the love away
Please, please come back to me
The price as the smiles and the kisses fade
Was the hopes and memories say
Maybe today, or maybe tomorrow
I'll have to beg you to stay,
I'll be the candle, I'll show you the way
If I could find the words to bring you back to me

The price of the words I could never say
Was the tears washed the love away
Please, please come back to me
The price as the smiles and the kisses fade
Was the hopes and memories say
Please, please come back to me

The price of the words I could never say
Was the tears washed the love away
Please, please come back to me
The price as the smiles and the kisses fade
Was the hopes and memories say
Please, please come back to me

12 A Cool Place


I'm not seeing very clearly
Cos I'm lost in my depression
And I'm running after something
But it's in the wrong direction

If it's just a lie you tell your friends
Don't make it complicated
Shake your fist at everyone and never mind tomorrow

And you're happy when you taste that summer madness
The running 'till you're breathless
Jump into the blackness

Who was the fool, who was that fool
Who told you it's a cool place
It's such a cool place

Go on, go on
Tell me you're right, make me believe
Tell me what it feels like
When you've fallen to the bottom
Well I don't think it's over
The devil's on your shoulder

Who was the fool, who was that fool
Who told you it's a cool place
It's such a cool place

If it's just a lie you tell your freinds
Don't make it complicated
Shake your fist at everyone
And never mind tomorrow

And you're happy when you taste that summer madness
Well I don't think it's over
The devil's on your shoulder

Who was the fool, who was that fool
Who told you it's a cool place
It's such a cool place

Who was the fool, who was that fool
Who told you it's a cool place

13 Happy


Hollow people rattle when you shake them
Precious things just shatter when you break them

Dreamers don't believe in explanation
Some birds don't explain their intonation

A little rain may fall around you
Life and it's turns astound you
How you felt when love first found you
How you love to see the blue sky
And to reason why

I can't believing in this perfect feeling
Like a dizzy fairground ride
Senses come alive
And I'm happy

Never disscollide with situation
Ecstasy defines its invitation

A sweeter thing, fulfill promise
Came to feel, and always honest
How you feel when love surrounds you
How you love to look in her eyes
Something never dies

I can't believing in this perfect feeling
Like a dizzy fairground ride
Senses come alive
And I'm happy

A little rain may fall around you
Life and it's turns astound you
How you felt when love first found you
How you love to see the blue sky
And to reason why

I can't believing in this perfect feeling
Like a dizzy fairground ride
Senses come alive

I can't believing in this perfect feeling
Like a dizzy fairground ride
Senses come alive
And I'm happy.

14 Tingle Tangle


The tingle as you spin that web of lies
Leads to a tangle that hurts the more you try

Fighting in the bathroom
Holding back the tears will make you blind
Screaming with the new moon
To swallow the sky

Only time can melt the icecream clown
And frozen tears come rolling down

The tingle as you first look in those eyes
Leads to a tangle with paperchains for life

Fighting in the bathroom
Holding back the tears can make you blind
Screaming with the new moon
To swallow the sky

Only time can melt the icecream clown
And frozen tears come rolling down

Now, do you feel the same way too?
After all this time,
Could you feel the same way too?
Could you?

Fighting in the bathroom
Holding back the tears can make you blind
Screaming with the new moon
To swallow the sky

Only time can melt the icecream clown
His frozen tears pour down
I've had enough of paper lies
A giant breath can blow the whole world down.

15 God Help Them


These films of life will pass away
As I walk beside my hole of holies
Ignore the lights that held my eyes
We're heaven in those hellish days
And once I longed to taste them all

God help them, when they find out
That's what life is all about

The words have died upon our lips
The winds have blown disaster upon us
All my life I've braved these thorns
But never let the blackest storms
And once I longed to taste them all

God help them, when they find out
That's what life is all about
And God help us, when we find out
That's what love is all about

Since that day you're all I pray for
Well, wouldn't pay for
But it's cost us both more

God help them, when they find out
That's what life is all about
And God help us, when we find out
That's what love is all about

God help them, when they find out
That's what life is all about
And God help us, when we find out
That's what love is all about

16 Bound In A Nutshell


Bound in a nutshell
Lost in our weary eyes
We're tumble-down people
Leading our tumble-down lives

Breath of life, could make our engines roar
Oh we're far from power, north of desire
High and dry, hoping you'll send us
From your mouth instead of lies
A kiss of life for sleeping giants

Broken, bound and battered
Freezing on picket lines
A colder frost can shatter
And chain us for all our lives

Breath of life, to make our engines roar
Oh we're far from power, north of desire
Tired and bound by all these lies
And step by step open tired eyes
A kiss of life for sleeping giants

They spin our world from cruel to kind
And make our future's a downward slide
The strong get strong but still want more
But day by day, the giants thaw

Tomorrow must be calling with an open door
There's no-one left to start our revolution anymore

We need some flames to burn down every door
Oh we're far from power, north of desire
High and dry, hoping you'll send us
From your mouth instead of lies
A kiss of life for sleeping giants

Far from power, north of desire
Tired and bound by all these lies
And step by step open tired eyes
A kiss of life for sleeping giants

17 The Nearly Man


Down here in the bottom
When you're staring at the top
With a head full of ideas
And only flesh and blood
On an eiderdown of glory
And a pillow of desire
Drifting on an ocean
And the waves wash through my mind

Something haunts us,
Kicks the stars from our skies
Blows the lights out
With the whispering and sighs

If you're down, down
I'm down, down
And when you're down, down
I'm down, down

Well I was nearly me
And you were nearly you
The nearly man was nothing
He was never any use
Beaten down by generations
For generations beaten down
There's nothing I can promise
That my concience would allow

Something haunts us,
Kicks the stars from our skies
Blows the lights out
With the whispering and sighs

If you're down, down
I'm down, down
And when you're down, down
I'm down, down

If you're down, down
I'm down, down
And when you're down, down
I'm down, down
If you're down, down
I'm down, down
And when you're down, down
I'm down, down

18 Thinking Up, Looking Down


In all your life, to treasure there
These precious times, and times when it's hard to care
And they touch you, with that magic touch
And you shine...

You've shed that skin, it's lying there
Where are you now, I hope it's heaven there
And they touch you, with that magic touch
And you shine...

So hold on tight,
And dry those eyes,
And never cry

Cos in this world
We're upside down
When we first come 'round

In this world (in this world)
We're upside down (upside down)
When we first come 'round

And even when good seems bad (good seems bad)
Keep trying to understand (understand)
Maybe we've gone on hand

We might make it

Oh, I miss those days
All I can say
Is I miss those days

All I can say
Is I miss those days

All I can say (sinking motion)
Is I miss those days (while stumbling in the dark)

All I can say (sinking motion)
Is I miss those days (while stumbling in the dark)

All I can say (play by these rules) (sinking motion)
Is I miss those days (we can move on there (we're stumbling in the dark)

All I can say (play by these rules) (sinking motion)
Is I miss those days (we can move on there) (we're stumbling in the dark)

All I can say (play by these rules) (sinking motion)
Is I miss those days (we can move on there) (we're stumbling in the dark)
