It's natural
The way that you smile
If you feel alright
Then I fell alright
And that's enough
At least for a while
And you're coming round
Yeah you're coming..
You've got to love
The way that you are
If you feel alright
Then I fell alright
You're beautiful
Covered in scars
And you're coming round
and you're spinning
Round and round and round again
I don't want this day to end
The summer's never tasted
Quite so good
It's natural
The way that you smile
If you feel alright
Then I fell alright
You're beautiful
And full of stars
If you feel alright
then I feel all

Caught out walking
Like a dog without a name
I was looking for a new drug
You were looking for the same
Now the temperatures are rising
You got nobody to blame
Take a look at your horizon
It'll never be the same
Again
Come sunrise
Cold respite
Call it a trick of the light
I can't explain this feeling
Darling
No quarter
Surrender
Post marked return to sender
I can't explain this feeling
Darling
Burn out waking
Like a dog without a name
If you're looking for a new drug
Then I'm looking for the same
Come sunrise
Cold respite
Call it a trick of the light
I can't explain this feeling
Darling
No thunder
No warning
There's a new era dawning
I can't explain this feeling
Darling

Hey little penny
You make my day
Sunshine’s here
And here to stay
Hey little penny
You’re my favourite thing
Yeah the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree
They
Only see what they wanna see
Don’t come knocking
Keep your own room clean
And if you count one thing
Count on me
Got a penny in your pocket
But the world is at your feet
When everything’s been
Sold and bought
Penny for your pocket and a
Penny for your thoughts
They don’t sing
Cause they don’t much dream
And their grass don’t look so green to me
Yeah
Things will be what they will be
If the boat starts rocking
Keep your own nose clean
And if they’re gonna leave
They’re gonna leave
Got a penny in your pocket
But the world is at your feet

Hey mister
I gotta tell you something
Push came to shove
Your whistling
Is there a point to it?
Enough’s enough
You go round
Say boy say what you wanna say
Cos you talk in circles round
Play boy play
If you’re gonna play
Cos you walk in circles round
Hey mister
I gotta tell you something
Your numbers up
I’m plastered
Yeah stick a fork in me
I’m overdone
You go round
Say boy say what you wanna say
Cos you talk in circles round
Play boy play
If you wanna play
Cos you walk in circles round

Belt of Orion
03:54

Close your eyes
Fall asleep
To the light
Of the computer screen
Out of life
Into dreams
Only place where we meet now
It seems
But the Belt of Orion
It always grounds me
Went out to the garden
But the sky was too cloudy
On another night
In another light
I'm sure that I could see
A life out there
Somewhere
For you and me
If I know you
I know you will
Make a mountain
Out of a molehill
Close your mind
Shut it off
Dream of all the things
Dreams are made of
And the Belt of Orion
It always grounds me
Went out to the garden
But the sky was too cloudy
On another night
In another light
I'm sure that I could see
A life out there
Somewhere
For you and me

Woke up in a stranger's head
On the wrong side of the bed
Think of what you should have said
For the sake of argument
It's a cold, cold life
Whatever gets you through the night
Catherine, she laughed and said
Welcome to the neighbourhood
Look at what you could have had
You're in such a pretty mess
It's a cold, cold life
Whatever feels alright
It's a cold, cold life
Whatever gets you through the night
You're in such a pretty mess
Welcome to the neighbourhood

I heard talk that
Late one morning
They flew away
So they say
First time caller
Guess you outta
State your name
And your case
House sitting
It seems daunting
Modern talking
Lost your way?
C'est la vie
House sitting
How's your day?

We'll Go Dancing
02:50

Whole world
Trapped inside
Glasses half full
Windows wide
A shame
Cos there’s a guy
Across the street
That’s caught her eye
Who fancies himself
Quite the chef
But burnt the toast
You gotta laugh
Yeah we’ll
Go dancing
He dreams about
The neighbour’s wife
And breaking out
This snow globe life
And we’ll go dancing
Vincent works back to back
He’s open late
For drinks and snacks
Same moths drawn to the flame
The tonic keeps the blues at bay
Another day of playing cards
Of kings and queens
And cheating hearts
And we’ll go dancing
Of ‘nothing ventured, nothing gained’
And climbing up the walls again
And we’ll go dancing now
The whole world has lost the plot
Making up as they go along
They say everyone
Deserves a dog day in the sun
One day when all this shit
Has passed
We’ll step outside
And kiss the earth
And we’ll go dancing
Let's make a plan
To make a pact
If we make out this year intact
That we’ll go dancing
We’ll go dancing now

Spare me the violins
I've seen your true face
If it ain't karma calling
I don't know what is
Event Horizon
Point of no return
You'll be getting just what you deserve
Spare me the sympathies
You'll get nothing from me
I've seen the way you work
And it's ain't fucking pretty
Event Horizon
A message from the firm
You'll be getting just what you deserve
Event Horizon
Point of no return
Soon you're getting just what you deserve

Karolina
My girl
I know you’re
Halfway round the world
But when I need you
I know you
You’ll be there
Karolina
It’s no lie
We don’t always see
Eye to eye
But when I need you
I know you
You’ll be there
Letters are sent
Until we meet again
If you need a friend
I’m under the same sky
Karolina
My friend
I’ve said some things
I can't defend
But when you need me
I know you know
I’ll be there
When letters are red
I’ve got an ear to lend
When you need a friend
I’m always on your side
Karolina
I swear
I know we’ve got
Crosses to bear
But when you need me
I know you know
I’ll be there
Yeah when you need me
I know you know
I’ll be there

I was nineteen when I came to town
They called it the Summer of Love
They were burning babies, burning flags
The Hawks against the Doves
I took a job in the steamie
Down on Cauldrum Street
I fell in love with a laundry girl
Who was working next to me
She was a rare thing
Fine as a beeswing
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
She was a lost child
She was running wild, she said
As long as there's no price on love, I'll stay
And you wouldn't want me any other way
Brown hair zig-zag round her face
And a look of half-surprise
Like a fox caught in the headlights
There was an animal in her eyes
She said, young man, Oh can't you see
I'm not the factory kind
If you don't take me out of here
I'll surely lose my mind
She was a rare thing
Fine as a beeswing
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
She was a lost child
She was running wild, she said
As long as there's no price on love, I'll stay
And you wouldn't want me any other way
We busked around the market towns
And picked fruit down in Kent
And we could tinker lamps and pots
And knives wherever we went
And I said that we might settle down
Get a few acres dug
Fire burning in the hearth
And babies on the rug
She said oh man, you foolish man
It surely sounds like hell
You might be lord of half the world
You'll not own me as well
She was a rare thing
Fine as a beeswing
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
She was a lost child
She was running wild, she said
As long as there's no price on love, I'll stay
And you wouldn't want me any other way
We was camping down the Gower one time
The work was pretty good
She thought we shouldn't wait for frost
And I thought maybe we should
We were drinking more in those days
And tempers reached a pitch
Like a fool I let her run
With the rambling itch
Last I hear she's sleeping out
Back on Derby beat
White Horse in her hip pocket
And a wolfhound at her feet
And they say she even married once
A man named Romany Brown
But even a Gypsy caravan
Was too much settliing down
And they say her flower is faded now
Hard weather and hard booze
But maybe that's just the price you pay
For the chains you refuse
She was a rare thing
Fine as a beeswing
And I miss her more than ever words could say
If I could only taste
All of her wildness now
If I could hold her in my arms today
I wouldn't want her any other way

Egg Hunt

We’re going on an egg hunt!
Mooch downstairs
To check out the scene
Well I can’t tell if the Easter Bunny's been
Nothing in sight!
I let out a sigh
But what’s that I spy
Out the corner of my eye?
We’re going on an egg hunt!
Gonna have to think hard
To crack this case
There’s nothing in the kitchen
Or on the fireplace
There’s nothing on the landing
Or on the TV
Where oh where could those eggs be?
We’re going on an egg hunt!
I had a quick scan
Behind the chair
Where Dad’s watching telly
In his underwear
Had a little gander
Under the bed
Finally! A chocolate egg!
We’re going on an egg hunt!
Finding eggs is really fun
If you find an egg
You’re a very lucky one!
You have to look hard
Every cranny and nook!
It’s always in the last place that you look!
We’re going on an egg hunt!
