All Day 06:03
lyrics

On the road again - this time it’s for good On the run again not having much fun Not enough whisky and not enough sun An endless path has just begun - Cos I’m on the run all day They framed me for murder - they sent me to hell My life was cut short when the gavel, it fell Did not hear the story that I had to tell All they wanted was me in a cell - all day Hat down in the bar - my horse is tied up Posters all around, there’s a drip in my cup I’m on the run all day No more time for messing about The shells in the air - They’re screaming ‘No route’ They said there was no reasonable doubt I wish for the time I had a clear head I had my home, my Baby, my bed I’m on the run all day This is how we run away The judge and the jury they sent me to die The Sherriff was crooked - witness was bribed In the darkness of prison there’s nowhere to hide I heard the people gathered outside ‘Guilty’ they shouted, ‘Hang him’ they cried This is the story they’ll tell from my side One day This is how we run away

Shine A Light 03:45
lyrics

You may be a lost girl but you’re glowing in the dark Any every room you enter lights up when you appear Cos you are not afraid of what other people say It only takes one tiny light to make the pathway clear You may be a lost girl but you’re glowing in the dark Any every room you enter lights up when you appear Cos you are not afraid of what other people say It only takes one tiny light to make the pathway clear And you warn all around you ‘You’re drowning with the crowd And it’s OK to be different and stand on your own ground’ Shine bright - Single light Be the beacon and not the night You can see what’s happened - your friends don’t realise They don’t even see what’s going on before their eyes They are copying what the other people wear Stumbling along through the crowd they disappear You can see what’s happened - your friends don’t realise They don’t even see what’s going on before their eyes They are copying what the other people wear Stumbling along through the crowd they disappear And you warn all around you they’re drowning with the crowd And it’s OK to be different and stand on your own ground Shine bright - Single light Be the beacon and not the night

Name That Pain 04:03
lyrics
buy track
There’s a certain group of people changing losses to a win They save us from struggle. They save us from sin When you’re lost in the fog look no further Help is near to home, near to home near to home No need to reach far when your heart’s torn apart The stars are close to home No-one’s seen the trouble I seen and it ain’t gonna start today But if you’re lost without an answer self-harm is not the way I can’t say it’s easy or if it’s wrong to hide in space If you feel the darkness growing name that pain I know how it feels. I’ve been there. I know how it feels first hand If you feel this pain am I less of a man. Sometimes it’s hard to grieve but don’t stop No need to reach far when your heart’s torn apart The stars are close to home No-one’s seen the trouble I seen and it ain’t gonna start today But if you’re lost without an answer self-harm is not the way I can’t say it’s easy or if it’s wrong to hide in space If you feel the darkness growing name that pain …Carry out a random act of kindness with no expectation of reward safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you No need to reach far when your heart’s torn apart The stars are close to home… No-one’s seen the trouble I seen and it ain’t gonna start today But if you’re lost without an answer self-harm is not the way I can’t say it’s easy or if it’s wrong to hide in space If you feel the darkness growing name that pain

The Way That We Live Now 03:40
lyrics

Every day it’s the same routine Get out of bed and I wash ‘til I’m clean Leave the house and get the bus Find a seat and not make a fuss See everybody just like me Eating sandwiches and drinking tea I get to school and find my place Time is short I gotta change the pace How we live everyday is the way that we live now Getting all that we need cos’ve the way that we live now Every day is like yesterday Wake up, go to work, just to get paid Sit in your chair and watch the world go by As everybody else drifts through life You don’t have to be the same It’s up to you how you play the game Turn around don’t go with the flow And you’ll discover things you never know How we live everyday is the way that we live now Getting all that we need cos’ve the way that we live now People walking and hanging their heads Looking as though they are the undead They don’t know that they’re being led But I don’t care what’s being said anymore - cos I know that How we live everyday is the way that we live now Getting all that we need cos’ve the way that we live now

Talk About Talking 03:05
lyrics

When they talk about you and it gets you down And you’re not there to stand your ground What they say doesn’t have to be true So don’t let the gossip get to you Just ‘cause you’re not feeling sound Turn that frown upside down It’s gonna get better - better now If you start something then don’t start a row Talk about talking - to make it better Talk about talking - to find the truth Talk about talking - to make it real If you talk to me then I’ll talk to you If you listen to me then I’ll listen to you If you talk to me then I’ll listen to you And if you listen to me then I’ll talk to you It will help you look back and smile Take all the hassle and shake it away - (And) stand up for others - Respect yourself Not keep your feelings hidden away There is hope and there is someone But they may not be the first to call You might need to go and find them So lift up your head and stand up tall Talk about talking - to make it better Talk about talking - to find the truth Talk about talking - to make it real If you talk to me then I’ll talk to you If you listen to me then I’ll listen to you If you talk to me then I’ll listen to you And if you listen to me then I’ll talk to you I know it’s not always easy Because it happened to me I shut myself down But I found a way Of getting the help that I need - Talk about talking - to make it better Talk about talking - to find the truth Talk about talking - to make it real If you talk to me then I’ll talk to you If you listen to me then I’ll listen to you If you talk to me then I’ll listen to you And if you listen to me then I’ll talk to you

Fall Into The Flames 05:09
lyrics
buy track
Start the journey now let’s begin The seeds are sown and buried in Separated now ‘til the dawn We don’t want to feel alone anymore Distant memories drive you on The dull remnants of a love song Drift in your ears from far as you look up to see The man in the moon with the stars And the hours pass as the seconds turn Exposure to the sun And sunburn peels across your neck Wondering ‘How did it come to this?’ We carried on - we’re all blame We’re all complicit in this shame We carried on - we’re all blame We carried on - we’re all blame We’re all complicit in this shame Breathe in - Fall into the flame Warnings unheeded Chances receded Lost what we needed Who’d have believed it? Our final curtain Now just to be certain Start the journey now - let’s begin The frost has frozen us within Reunited here at the dawn We know we’re not alone anymore Hide from the light If you want to survive Hide from the light If you want to survive We carried on - we’re all blame We’re all complicit in this shame We carried on - we’re all blame We carried on - we’re all blame We’re all complicit in this shame Breathe in - Fall into the flame Stand up now - Don’t fall down Breathe in - Stand up now Breath in - Don’t fall down

Day By Day 04:07
lyrics

Sometimes love is easy - Sometimes love is hard Love is different for everyone - Why not give it a shot? Different understanding - Different peace of mind All you’ve got to do is love and leave the world behind How we love is how we do How we love is how we get through How we love comes in a certain way How we love supports us day by day How we love (together) day by day Love can be a merry-go-round with many ups and downs But as long as we all have love we will come around Different understanding - Different peace of mind All you’ve got to do is love and leave the world behind How we love is how we do How we love is how we get through How we love comes in a certain way How we love supports us day by day How we love (together) day by day How we love is how we do
