Lyrics
A Million Pieces
if you ever leave me baby
if you ever go away
i don't know what i'd do without you
if you ever left me baby
if you ever went away
i don't think that i could survive
break my heart in two
break my heart into a million pieces
break my heart
if you ever told me baby
that you no longer cared
even though you knew
that i still loved you
if you ever told me baby
that you've had enough
would i have the strength to let you go
if i ever told you baby
that i no longer cared
even though i knew
that you still loved me
if i ever told you baby
that i've had enough
would you have the strength to let me go
The Lies You're Told
you can be captain of your destiny
you can be victim to the hands of fate
you could be helpless bereft of any hope
you could believe the lies you're told
you could be the pawn that gets pushed around
or you could be a man and stand your ground
you could make a difference with a little hope
you could believe the lies you're told
i can't see the future
i can't remember the past
but i can feel tomorrow will be a better day
you can be captain of your destiny
you can be victim to the hands of fate
you could make a difference with a little hope
just don't believe the lies you're told
Still
whatever happened to the summer sun
has it just forgotten that it's time to come
feels like winter in the midst of june
I think the sun is hiding behind the moon
but i'll be here, i'll still be here etc
Still the clouds, still the rain, still no sun
whatever happened to our father's sons
they don't seem to care about anyone
it feels like nothing matters anymore
is there anything worth fighting for
but i'll be here, i'll still be here etc
Still the clouds, still the rain, still no sun
but i'll be here, i'll still be here etc
Something About Nothing
was it something about nothing
was it really worth getting so worked up about
was it something about nothing
was it really worth getting so worked up about
and you are the only one
yes you are the only one
there isn't anybody else
was it something about nothing
all the birds flew away at the shadow moon
was it something about nothing
we all looked but we couldn't really see
was it something about nothing
we all turned our backs and we walked away
was it something about nothing
it was something you don't see every day
Just a Little
we need to keep our fingers crossed
and hope things turn out the way we want
and if they do
we've won a watch
with just a little hope
with just a little luck
with just a little good fortune
we need to keep a strong resolve
and hope our problems can all be solved
and if they are
we've won a watch
we've opened up our souls exposed
we face the elements we stand alone
and if we overcome
we've won a watch
it don't look good the odds against us
but we are strong we stand together
and if we live to see tomorrow
we've won a watch
so keep your fingers tightly crossed
and keep a strong resolve
and if we live to see tomorrow
we've won a watch
Wouldn't Be Cricket
they're messing with our minds again
by bending space and time
deception by omission
gotta tow the party line
feeding us distraction
because ignorance is bliss
we can't be thinking for ourselves
that just wouldn't be cricket
the sun it never sets
on the lands where we hold sway
the past the present future
it will always be that way
proposing an alternative
will not be entertained
the radical is ridiculed
dismissed ignored insane
they'll do just what we tell them to
they'll believe in anything
but they can't be thinking for themselves
that just wouldn't be cricket
the rules are made for followers
we leaders can ignore
and we can't be having commoners
trying to come through our front door
they have to learn and know their place
to listen not to speak
they can't be thinking for themselves
that just wouldn't be cricket
Wears Thin
here they come again
lying through their teeth
here they come again
let's hope it's for the last time
who they gonna blame
when the cards don't fall their way
who they gonna blame
ain't no ones fault but their own
you've had so many chances
to do the right thing
you've taken us for granted
our patience wears thin
here they come again
with bigger scare stories
they only play to win
they don't give up so easy
and they will never give
a single thing they promise
and they will not forgive
they will cast a plague upon us
you never kept your vow
you've broken all your promises
you've had so many chances
to do the right thing
taken us for granted
for oh so long
our patience it wears thin
It's All So Beautiful
you walked this road so many times
so blind so blind you cannot see
you miss the extraordinary
it's all so beautiful
the simple things you don't appreciate
the everyday magical mysteries
little miracles on every corner
it's all so beautiful
i love this place ye i love this town
i feel at home it's where i'm from
when you get up close and dive right in
it's all so beautiful
if you just stand still and took a look around
breathe in the sounds the smell the love
i'm sure you'd come to realise
it's all so beautiful
Any of Your Dreams
And after everything is said and done
and after everything has fallen down
and after everyone has left the scene
can you remember
any of your dreams
and after everybody's had their say
and come to realise it's far too late
there's nothing anyone can do
do you remember
any of your dreams
how we where gonna make a better world
a place where everyone could get along
have you forgotten
do you remember
do you remember
any of your dreams
Rise Above It All
I could be the hero come and save the day
or I could be the coward who just runs away
could I stand my ground when push comes to shove
get down and dirty or rise above
rise above it all
rise above it all
rise above it all
just try and do what is right
and rise above it all
you can't control your ego with false modesty
when you look in the mirror and you still can't see
suckered by the sound bites of false prophecies
you can still be the hero and come and save the day
rise above it all
rise above it all
rise above it all
just try and do what is right
and rise above it all
it's easy to fear and it's easy to hate
to lay blame at someone else's gate
and with the little, that you think you know
you can come to conclusions that are oh so wrong
oh so wrong
rise above it all
rise above it all
Till the Sun Go Down
from the sun go up till the sun go down
breaking my back on the cold hard ground
on the cold hard ground
from the sun go up till the sun go down
from the sun go up till the sun go down
from the sun go up till the sun go down
working my fingers to the bone
to the bone
from the sun go up till the sun go down
working for the man he got me running round
he got me running round
from the sun go up till the sun go down
from the sun go up till the sun go down
oh i just can't wait
till the sun go down
etc
We Don't Believe in You
There isn't any life left in your eyes (we don't believe in you)
every movement every gesture a disguise (we don't believe in you)
pretending you're an ordinary guy (we don't believe in you)
you ain't telling us the truth it's all just lies
you tell us that we're all on a sinking ship
we're all fighting to survive
you tell us that we're all in this together
don't you think we know you're telling lies
just a blank expression on your face (we don't believe in you)
there isn't any meaning in the words you say (we don't believe in you)
you're gonna make our problems all go away (we don't believe in you)
we know you're gonna say that anyway
As Long as it's Black (shine a light)
there won't be fifty shades of grey
there ain't no shadow you can hide in
forget the colours of the rainbow
any color you want as long as it is black
we're only here to live and die
we're only here to exist
shine a light....................................
we're only here for one moment
so do the best you can
shine a light.....................................
are we all in this together
or is it every man for themselves
do you have it in your heart
to give a helping hand
we're only here for one moment
so do the best you can
shine a light....................................
forget the colours of the rainbow
any color you want as long as it's black
I'm Still Learning
i can tell you for sure
i can tell you for certain
that i don't know
but i'm still learning
i'm still finding my way
trying to make sense
of this chaos around me
yeah i'm still learning
i don't know what i'm doing............
but i try my best
to still be surprised
yeah i'm still learning
trying to find patterns
in the randomness
something i can recognise
but i'm still learning
i don't know what i'm doing............
but i try my best
to still be surprised
yeah i'm still learning
Broken Record
are we never ever gonna learn from our mistakes
will history repeat just like a broken record
yeah i think we've been down this road before
are we never ever gonna stop with all our fighting
will history just keep repeating
yeah i think we've seen this all before
are we never ever gonna find our own nirvana
are we gonna keep on just destroying
yeah i think it's time to change our ways
are we never ever gonna learn from our mistakes
will history repeat just like a broken record
