Gordie Can't Swim
02:58
|
|||
|
Gordon Richard Storm wished he wasn't born and his family do
His dreams had been and gone straight away
Told by his father on a regular basis he was a mistake
A one off night affair they say
The feelings that were in the air
Were there to see
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Left round his Aunties in the afternoons but he didn't care
The only fun he had in the day
No one in his family took a second look at his sorry face
So he left to roam around the place
Oooh
Gordie told us when he was a boy
That his father knocked him into next week
Leaving for the streets of London
And nobody could tеll his Dad
Dreaming of the woman he was always told was coming homе
But never heard a peep
He needs someone to carry the lantern
To show him that they understand
And teach him about the World around him
The first time it be underhand
Oooooh
Gordie left a letter
Cos he don't know any better on the doorstep concrete
Left next to a missing photo
Of Gordie on a carton of milk
Aaah
Ohhh
This was Gordies final farewell
A tortured soul lays to rest
Aaah
Ohhh
Aaah
Ohhh

Fly the Yellow Kite

Fly the yellow kite
Its a breezy blue morning
Set the skies alight
When the weekend's are boring
See the butterfly
Rising and falling
Yellow butterfly
I saw you this morning
Fly the yellow kite
On a breezy blue morning
Set the skies alight
The weekend was boring

Already Home

Watching the clouds part in the old backyard
The Winter's been too much for me
Tired of pulling out the joker card
(Joker Card)
Shine a light and help me see
Don't you know it we're already home
Don't you know it we're already home
Making us tracks on the open road
Till we like what we see
Paying me back with the time I'm owed
(Time I'm owed)
Drop the chains and set me free
Don't you know it we're already home
Don't you know it we're already home

Out My Pocket
03:59
|

If you think I'm happy now
You mistook me somehow
And when I smile just a while and see
And if I wear a grin
It won't come from within
It's mainly there so you won't stare into my eyes
I never found my soul
You'll never find my soul
I'll always hide my soul
You'll never see my soul
You can come round to my place
Just to see my face
I won't be heard won't say a word to you
It's not against the law
To knock hard on your door
And if you're in I won't give so please come out
I'll never find my soul
You'll never find my soul
I'll always hide my soul
You'll never see my soul

Sheena say she know it's alright
Sheena say she could stay all night
Hey hey she's a beautiful girl
Shines like the magical Sun
They call her
Sheena say she know we're alright
Sheena say she will stay all night
Hey Ho she's a beautiful girl
Shines like the magical Sun
They call her
Hey hey she's a beautiful girl
Shines like the magical sun
They call her

Callooh Callay!
02:10
|
|||
|
Well I was bound
To lose my ground
Tried to find a way
With philosophies you'd say
To me
I've always found
I am always wrong
And I've never been as strong
As I say
Hey!
All I know
Callooh Callay
All along
Callooh Callay
It's been a while since I made you smile
Tell me what you think
Oh I hope you tickled pink
By me
I'm out of style
Though you're with me now
How much more will you allow?
Glad to hear you say
That you've made your plans to stay
With me
All I know
Callooh Callay
All along
Callooh Callay
All I know
Callooh Callay
All along
Callooh Callay

Song That Fades Away
02:33
|
|||
|
I hadn't heard a thing till the Autumn sang the song that fades away
Stone floors and window panes were all I had for days until she came
Into tomorrow I'm waiting till dawn
The time that I borrowed had fell from my eyes

So the Feeling Looms
01:42
|
|||
|
Though you're very nice
We fell out once or twice
And through my lonely nights
Will you come back again?
Will you come back again?
You're pictures in my room
I'm gonna throw it soon
And so the feeling looms
That you'll come back again
That you'll come back again
You'll come back again?
That you come back again
Will you come back again?
Will you come back again?

Mortimer Snerd
03:38
|
|||
|
There's a man
And he likes to follow a guiding hand
He don't understand
If he can
He'll beg steal and borrow and blame the hand
What a clever man!
Don't come to me for anything
Cos I've given you all I've got
And I'm heading for the highway
Don't hesitate won't hesitate
To come and take back the lot
You better run I'm on the fast lane
Had a plan
To leave Edgar go solo or find a better hand
It's a dreadful plan
As a fan
Edgar will follow a lonely road
Mortimer come home
Don't come to me for anything
Cos I've given you all I've got
And I'm heading for the highway
Don't hesitate won't hesitate
To come and take back the lot
You better run I'm on the fast lane
Don't come to me for anything
Cos I've given you all I've got
And I'm heading for the highway
Don't hesitate won't hesitate
To come and take back the lot
You better run I'm on the fast lane

Cut Your Key
01:53
|
|||
|
Wearing the frown that I tried to reverse
I came around a little nervous at first
[Chorus 1]
I heard you turn your key
Wishing you loved me
[Verse 2]
Raising a brow I could hear from inside
Nine chimes aloud from the clock where you cried
[Chorus 2]
I could climb your tree
Unless I cut your key
[Verse 3]
Twenty years on and I'm stood by her side
Sharing the place where my girl used to hide
[Chorus 3]
She gave in to me
Now I have my own key.

Sunnydown Ave
04:18
|

As our story comes to core
You can show me to the door
If you'd been here before would you know?
Take a peek at the view from Sunnydown Avenue
If I'd been here before would you know?
The sights I recall will still be when I fall
You can't take it away from no one
Come around tell us what you've heard
Come around tell us what you heard
As our story comes to core
You can show me to the door
If I'd been here before would you know
We can stroll down a beach with the end far from our rеach
As the clouds pull the waves from our feet
