Sunshine Sound
03:41
|
|||
Tell me now or tell me later
Promise I will write it down for always
Show me how you feel today
Pay no mind, we don’t know where we’re going
Come listen, listen every day
Play the sunshine sound
Hear the sunshine sound
Look at all the eyes upon the prize
Of getting everything for nothing
Play the sunshine sound
Hear the sunshine sound
You’re the sunshine sound

Got To Wake You Up
03:08
|
|||
Last night I dreamt but I kept one eye open to see
What is a dream
Then I became what I thought I could be yesterday
What could it mean?
I’m on the land taking it easy
I’m on the land, won’t let it beat me
Got to wake you up, got to wake you up
Got to wake you up in the middle of the night
Got to wake you up, got to wake you up

Better When It Rains
03:42
|
|||
Stop, just take a minute now
Wait, can’t we just wait around
Time, well the time’s going way too fast
So now, just want this day to last
I just don’t know how this thing works
Wish I could tell it all before the nightfall
I miss your smile, I miss your laugh
And I can’t believe it that I’ve been awake all this time
Maybe it’s better when it rains
Put out the fire and the pain
So it’s better when it rains down on me
Go, try it another way
Keep telling yourself today
That you’ve got to know how this thing works
You will just tell it all before the nightfall
You miss my smile, you miss my laugh
I’ll keep believing ‘cos you’ve been awake all this time

We Could Be Right
03:08
|
|||
I wonder how it is back in the place we used to go
I bet it’s the same as it’s always been, the time it runs so slow
And everything’s lazy and I’m going crazy, I think you read my mind
And everything’s alright here by the shoreline
I know we could be right, we could be right
Now we lose time, you don’t see me
In the sunshine where we should be
A carpet of green on the TV screen, it seems to make no sense
Falling away with a world of grey and dollars pounds and pence

Being Who We Want To Be
05:02
|
|||
I couldn’t stand, you shook my hand and walked away
Everything looked better yesterday
Tell me the name of all the places you’ve seen
Are they real or are they just a dream?
I sit alone but your here by my side
Talk to myself again, trying to remember when
I didn’t feel like a child out of time
Want to be there again, I wish you were here
I’m in a dream with somebody like you
When I awake it is all that I can do
To stop all the rush, all the rain from above
Cos I know every day all we need is some love
I wish that we could spend all of the time just being who we want to be
I saw you laugh, but it brought me to tears
All the world is ringing in my ears
I need to find out a place I can be
Been looking for so long it’s hard to see

All Made Up Now
04:29
|
|||
Come on and tell me why it feels so good
Show me the open sky, I knew you would
It’s taken me all this time, turn on the light
I’m still the same inside, but you don’t know, you don’t know
All made up now
All made up now
All made up now
You don’t know, you don’t know, you don’t know
Walking a path I know, the dead of night
Somehow I’m in control, do what I like
I wonder if I can fly, well I don’t know, I’don’t know

All That Goes Around
02:35
|
|||
You in the suit are you telling the truth
Well I don’t know
Doesn’t seem right in the dead of the night
Well I don’t know
One minute you’re waking up and now you started breaking all the rules
Listen to me one more time, I’ll tell you what I’ve found
I can’t make out anything with all that goes around
All the goes around,
Call me by name in the picture frame by the window
Painted in brown by a miserable clown going solo
One minute I’m waking up and now I started breaking all the rules

Never Enough
03:15
|
|||
Play me side one again, didn’t catch everything you said
Walk in time, I’ll tow the line
Wish that I could hold my head up high
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Never enough
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Never enough
Don’t think I fit in your mind of what you want me to be
Then again, who does, my friend
Everyone’s a version of themselves
Play the fool, break no rules
Drink yourself back down
Don’t concern yourself with me

Million Miles Away
03:13
|
|||
Let’s wait for the time
When the sun goes down you don’t even mind
Wouldn’t It Be Nice you played to me
Then we were on the upside down
Hey, don’t look at the time
It’s all you see and now it’s sublime
Take me up to where you want to be
I can see for miles when I can dream
I’m a million miles away, but I think I’m getting closer
I’m a million miles away, I don’t want to roll right over
Some people are right
Cos the life drifts out of everyone’s eyes
All the while I know it’s just a dream
How do they explain it all to me?
I gotta know there’s a better way

Five Long Days
03:33
|
|||
Open my eyes like every day, something about it
Fall to the floor like yesterday, can’t do without it
Well I know, yes I know it’s the same
Well I know, yes I know I’m to blame
Water is rising overhead, I think I can feel it
Something just broke inside my mind, I need you to heal it
Five long days I’m feeling nothing
But a sense that I just can’t undo
And I know not what the hell I’m s’posed to do
And for five long days this is all I want to do
So for five long days this is all I’m gonna do

Mama
04:06
|
|||
Stop all the time, forget what you were thinking
This can’t be right, must be wrong now that I’m sinking
Mama, tell me what to do
Mama, You gotta help me through
Sat in a car, I’m too far away from what’s going on
Climb in the back of my mind and there you’re not really gone
So whisper so sweetly that it’s gone completely the wrong way round
This battleground has opened up, now I can’t feel anymore
Here in the dark looking down at the floor and I feel
Something inside so beautiful and real
And I know, yes I know it’s the same thing
But everyone says that it’s all in my brain
But I know that you’re here with me now and you will be again

Yesterdays Are Tomorrow
04:18
|
|||
I wanted to try, do I feel it tonight
Been lying in wait now the time could be right
And the people beside me keep rolling their eyes again
You want us to play well now let’s all begin
Taking the moment, the moment is gone
I can’t help but walk into the sun
I get so scared, feels like I’m on the run
Now that I’m up here I want to get down
But deep in my brain there’s a thing that I’ve found
Keeps telling me over and over that I just can’t be
I think all the love that I felt as a child
Means nothing cos all of my yesterdays
Means nothing cos all of my yesterdays are tomorrow
