Broken Pieces

Verse 1

Theres a hole now in my trance
And Im missing it by chance
To brighten up my darkest days
Is she the one that came my way

Does a bomb explode in my city
The dreams that I dream might just bring pity
And when I think the thoughts in every word
My childhood sweet heart yeah you really hurt

Chorus

Its just like Broken Pieces
Its just like pieces in the rain
Its just like Broken Pieces
And there to similar to my name

Verse 2

The gold and silver in your hand
Do you really want me to stand
The mist upon the open street
Like a silver sun it shone on and on

I think of you in every word
And when I think it really has to hurt
Then I shake it off and start once again
But broken pieces comes my way twice again

Chorus (X2) (See above)

Live For The Moment

Verse 1

Your searching high and your searching low
Dreaming of somewhere to go
But when I looked into her eyes
I felt this love I could'nt hide

Along the shore your hand in hand
You hear the waves upon the sands
Friends forever where made to last
Live for the moment and not the past

Chorus

But shes alright
Shes not forgotten when shes inside
And shes alright
We lived the moment not the past
Shes alright
Shes not forgotten when shes inside

Verse 2

Hope I'll see her once again
To shake her hand and call her name
But the days are yet to pass
So make the moment have to last

There can be another time
I'll sing my song and make her smile
But thats the future its not the past
So make the moment have to last

Chorus (See above)

One Way Forward

Verse 1

I can see for miles around
I can see things upside down
I can see you when I sleep
I can see you when I weep

I can see you when I walk
You can see me when I talk
But I still sleep and I still talk
Still I take the early walk

Chorus

One way forward
Is the way we go
One way forward
Is another joke
One way forward
Is the way you go away

Verse

Still I'm sleeping and still you walk
One thing for for sure is the way you talk
The pouring rain you're full of laughter
The gazing sunset a major disaster

The funny side of a hurting bone
The aching noise of a joyful throne
I can see for miles around
One thing for sure is the way we sound

Chorus (See Above)

Loves Resistance

Verse 1

Writing words that mean so much
To you and me and others in touch
I'm writing to you in a poem and song
To say how much our love has gone

As glazing moonlight lines the sky
Just as you're shadow catches my eye
There are still things to understand
Now you and me are hand in hand

Chorus

So come on lets work it out
So come on lets shout it out
So come lets work it out
Loves resistance...

Verse 2

Sometimes when I ask myself
About you and me and nothing else
There are still things to understand
Now you and me are hand in hand

Your dark brown hair shines to me
The way that you walk and look upon in glee
I can say how much I know
But I can say that I love you so

Chorus (See Above)

Drinking To Die

Verse 1

I wake up at the break of dawn
Im wondering why I feel along
Wishing I was a million miles from home

My heads spinning like a setting sun
I'm like a junkie with nowhere to run
I wish that I could stop the drugs on my own

I'm smoking fags and Im drinking wine
I'm hung-over but Im feeling fine
There's no justice in this world of mine
Crashed into his eyes

Chorus

It's a weekend where you will never find
It's a weekend where the sun will never shine
It's a weekend where the moonlights in your eyes
It's a weekend where you'll be drinking to die
It's a weekend where you'll be drinking to die

Verse 2

The next day at the break of dawn
I gave my heart for a bag of gold
And in return my life was thrown to stones

Im gonna die before I'm old
Because life is hard and I'm feeling low
I just hope that the weekend comes to soon

When I looked her in the eyes
I see a boy who's waiting to cry
His times up because he's been drinking to die
Crashed into his eyes

Chorus (See Above)

Still Dreaming

Verse 1

Red skies are broken on sunny days
Blue skies they are chosen in different ways
People live hand in hand
The people I know are still yet to stand

Bridge

Still dreaming for all this to come
Still dreaming for this to be done
Still dreaming to find these days
Maybe were dreaming in another way

Chorus

Still Im dreaming
Still Im dreaming
Still Im dreaming
Maybe were dreaming in another way

Verse 2

Roller coaster rides from coast to coast
The sound of you and me as were dancing to a toast
Maybe we'll never find these days
Maybe it was not quite yesterday

Bridge (See Above)

Chorus (See Above)

Verse 3

Looking at life in a different lense
One day is in glory the next is in a mess...

Shower The Love

Verse 1

You can sit and sing your song
Even if you know what's wrong
If you've got that feeling
And it has no meaning
You can shower all the love

You can sit and play guitar
Even if you don't get far
If you've got that feeling
And it has no meaning
You can shower all the love

Chorus

But you think you wrote a song
And I think you wrote it wrong
As you sing it through the night
Then I guess you got it right
As you show it to your mom
She said you had a song
As you show it to your dad
But he thinks your really mad

Yeah, Yeah

Verse 2

Your still chasing for that girl
For a long shot in her world
If she's got that feeling
And it has no meaning
She can shower all the love

If your looking for a fight
Its even at the dawn of night
If you've got that feeling
And it has no meaning
You can shower all the love

Chorus (See Above)

Fade Out

Go shower all the love
Go shower all the love
And shower all your love on me
Go shower the love (X2)

Somebodies Child

Verse 1

Wishing you were miles away
Miles away from home
No one else could ever bring you down

The troubles that are in your head
Running around your mind
You're wondering where you will stay tonight

The people that may come and go
To help you on your way
Don't forget the friends of yesterday

This is the way you choose to live
Then kiss this world good bye
Today's the day and tomorrow never lies

Chorus

Winter time, Spring Time, Summer time and fall
You can run, runaway, runaway from home (X2)

Verse 2

Whatever state of mind your in
Be sure to let me know
Don't ever think that you have to let things go

This crazy world were living in
Where anything can go
What lies ahead is something left untold

This is life and this is love
You'll need it on your way
To help you get through another day

So your wishing you were miles away
Miles away from home
No one else could ever bring you down

Chorus (See Above)

Catching Mermaids

Verse 1

You Whisper to the waves
For mermaids sitting on the shore
The sunlight fills the sky
Its casting shadows on the floor

Chorus

Were catching mermaids
Upon the sands
Were catching mermaids
Upon the sands

Verse 2

You whisper to the sun
Because maybe, she maybe the one
You look up to the stars
For memories of not long ago

Chorus (See Above)

Gypsy Girl

Chorus

Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (X4)

Verse 1

Nobody speaks to the man at the bar
He sits all alone in the corner
He smokes his cigars and plays his guitar
He sings of a girl do you know her

She is the gypsy girl lost in a haze
She sells daisys and roses
The smile on her face and the wind in her hair
She is beautiful she knows it

Chorus (See Above)

Verse 2

Gone went his gypsy girl as he hit the road
Vodka and cannabis junkie
His memories the same but she lives in shame
Lost in an urban web country

Nobody speaks to the man in the bar
He sits all alone in the corner
He smokes his cigar and plays his guitar
He sings of a girl do you know her

Chorus (See Above)

Too Much To Drink

Verse 1

You and me and a bottle of wine
A candle lit dinner for two
Im singing a song that will you smile
And everyone's singing it to

Bridge

This could be the last day of your life
This could be the last day in your mind

Verse 2

You and me on a hot summer's day
Were having a picnic for two
The birds in the tree are singing songs of pray
And everyone's singing them to

Bridge (See Above)

Chorus

Had a little too much to drink last night
I couldn't remember the rest of my life
Too much to drink last night for me (X2)

Had a little too much to drink,
Too much to drink, too much to drink for me (X2)

Verse 3

You and me and a bottle of wine
A candle lit dinner for two
I'm singing a song that will make you smile
And everyone's singing it to

Bridge (See Above)

Peace To War

Verse 1

I'm not searching for a hero
As the master takes his gun
I'm trying get myself to freedom
So I never have to run

And the war is nearly over
Disappointment meets your eyes
There's only one more step to heaven
There's only one more step to die

Chorus

This is my world of freedom
It's a place where I belong
This is my world of freedom
And in the summer sun she'll catch you when she's gone
And in the summer sun she'll catch you when she's gone

Verse 2

When will this war be over
It brings the tears into my eyes
Through the hunger and the hatred
How many more of us have to die

Im not trying to be a hero
As I look up to the sky
Im only asking for my freedom
So I never have to die

Chorus (See Above)
