Coming up for air 03:56
lyrics
buy track
Coming Up For Air Seeking fortune and fame, We had skin in the game, Somewhere down the line you know, We forgot ourselves and so, We barely know our names anymore. There’s seaweed in your hair, Not that I should care, We’ve been holding out, holding on so long, Now we’re coming up for air…. Coming up for air… Swimming in the deeps, Pray our souls to keep, Heads above the waterline, Pretending everything is fine, We’re dying in our poor little hearts, There’s seaweed in your hair, etc.

Cuckoo 03:02
lyrics
buy track
Cuckoo I have a little box of treasures, Keep it on my shelf. Look at them sometimes, To remind me of ourselves. Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, Where are you now? X 2 There are feathers and shells, Magic and spells, And I keep them all for you, for you, for you, for you, For you… Well, you’re growing so fast, When will you arrive… At the place you want to be? Well, I know, it won’t be with me. But you can have all our treasure, Keep it on your shelf. Look at it sometimes, To remind you of ourselves. Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, where are you now?

Other side 04:53
lyrics
buy track
How did you get to be so wise? You grew up before my very eyes. When we were young, we used to say, hey, hey, Don’t try to tie us down or make us stay. We’re gonna’ spread our wings and fly out of here, Spread our wings and fly... I, I’m gonna meet you on the other side, the other side, Ooo, gonna meet you on the other side… Where the air is so cool, And we know what to do to stay free. I, I’m gonna meet you on the other side ….etc Where the air is so cool, And the skies are so blue, And we know what to do, to stay free...

Bees 03:16
lyrics
buy track
Bees Bees are humming in the long grass, been a long time coming, I can hear my garden grow. Hmmmm Hmmmm Birds are singing in the branches; they are winging their way Across the open sky. I’m growing into my own skin, Growing in and shedding skin, after skin, I’m growing in. Hmmmm Hmmmm

Eyes wide 02:50
lyrics
buy track
Eyes Wide Eyes wide, eyes wide in the snow Such a long way to go Do you know that I’d follow you anywhere? When you, when you, when you say You love me anyway It’s ok And I’d follow you anywhere, anywhere you wanna go In this cold winter charm I won’t let you come to harm Out in the snow There’s a place for us to go, let’s go, let’s go

You're not the only one 03:22
lyrics
buy track
You’re Not the Only One You’re not the only one, you’re not the only one. Something has ended, something new has begun. Time has us on the run, time has us on the run. Something has ended, something new has begun. In a crystal-clear moment, I saw you in all your glory, I saw you without your story, It was wonderful, wonderful. Don’t hide your light away, Don’t hide your light away, Just let it shine, shine like the sun.

Slippin' Jimmy 04:19
lyrics
buy track
Slippin’ Jimmy High five, fall down, get up, slippin’Jimmy. Talk fast, stay cool, no fuss, slippin’ Jimmy. Wrong guys to cross and bluff, slippin’ Jimmy. And now you’re out of luck. What have you done, x2, who did you become this time? You chose this path you’re on, slippin’ Jimmy, But life made you keep on, slippin Jimmy, You could have had it all, slippin’ Jimmy, Now who you gonna call? It better be Saul. What have you done x2 Who did you become this time? Fine lines (you become) such fine lines (what you’ve done) You didn’t hurt nobody, (you become) Tried hard not to hurt anybody. You didn’t hurt anyone at all, who you gonna call? You played the game and lost, slippin’Jimmy, And now you count the cost, slippin’ Jimmy, So who you gonna call? It better be Saul Fine lines, (you become) such fine lines (what you’ve done) You didn’t hurt nobody, (you become) Tried hard not to hurt anybody, but, Watch them fall, Better call Saul, better call Saul, better call Saul….

Summer rain 04:03
lyrics
buy track
Summer Rain Summer rain comes rolling in, See my boat out on the water, Painted skies, pink and blue, Fields and sunsets bathed in gold….. Walking by the lazy river, See my boat out on the water, Iridescent dragonflies, Circle up into the skies….. Don’t you know, know that this won’t last? Make the most of every passing moment. Summer colours shining brightly, See my boat out on the water, Here we float on borrowed time, Searching for a reason, rhyme.

Sleep 03:27
lyrics
buy track
Sleep Sleep, that creature of the deep, why don’t you come to my bed? Why don’t you come to my bed? X2 I’ve been working so hard and my bones need to rest. Oh, my head is so heavy, and I need to sink into the pillow. Why oh why do you torture me this way? Come to me to stay…

Zing of green 03:32
lyrics
buy track
Zing of Green The zing of green, through my windscreen, seen as I drive my car, Far away, far away, far away, far away. Gold strikes the sky, wishing I could fly, leave my tin machine, Far away, far away, far away, far away. Tell me where do I begin and where do you end? Can’t we just pretend for a little while? When tomorrow brings more sorrow lead me astray. Lead me, lead me, lead don’t follow, Till tomorrow… x2

Unruly heart 02:24
lyrics
buy track
Unruly Heart He says, ‘We’re not there yet’ She says, ‘You wanna’ bet?’ Saying stop when it’s go, How come they just don’t know it? Nothing, oh nothing, oh nothing, Can stop the heart from wanting what it wants… Unruly heart, unruly heart. He says that love has begun, (She says ‘Just jump and you’ll fly’) She says ‘I think you’re wrong, (He says ‘I need to know why’) There’s nothing like that here He says, ‘There’s nothing to fear’. Nothing, oh nothing, oh nothing, can stop the heart from wanting what it wants... Unruly heart, unruly heart, unruly heart.

Seascape and Seaspray 03:55
lyrics
buy track
Seascape and Seaspray Sea salt and sea spray, feathers, and tar. Out on the seashore, that’s where they are. Bladderwrack and samphire cooled to the skin, Holding their promise, deep down within. If she was a man, oh. X 2 Love made them bolder; she followed her heart. Fell for a soldier, that’s how it starts. Drowning for sorrow, endlessly pining, No more tomorrows’, no more bodies entwining. If she was a man, there’d be no punishment for loving. If she was a man, no more feathers and tar. There’s nowhere to run to now that he’s gone. He may be sorry, but he still put her in the wrong. Ohh…..

Tarn of tears 04:04
lyrics
buy track
Tarn of Tears High in the mountains, neath the Mohican sun From the clouding above, is a tarn made of tears And a pool that is bright, cold, and blessed. Love on these banks, made her swell made her grow, But at the end of the day, love turned away. And her tears were salty as stew, and she flew, To the banks of Troy, (softly away) Where she once knew a boy (softly away) Who warmed her heart with a shiver….. The babble and bubble of crystal-clear flow Over feldspar and opal And away with a shiver and gone, To the banks of Troy etc, Yet out of this salt, new life finds a home, Adept in her waters anew, She flows on and on and on and on and on To the banks of Troy etc

Sprig of thyme 03:04
lyrics
buy track
Once I had a sprig of thyme It prospered by night and by day Till a false young man came a courtin' to me And he stole all my time away... Time it is the prettiest thing And time it a will go on And time it will bring all things to an end And so does my time grow on It's very well drinking ale And it's very well drinking wine But it's far better sitting by a young man's side That has stole this heart of mine.

All stand together 03:56
lyrics
buy track
All Stand Together Don’t always get what we want in this life, no, no, no. Don’t even get what we need sometimes, ain’t that so? But if we all stand together, We can reach for the stars. Yeah, if we all stand together, We can strive to be who we really are, Which is love, endless love, precious love. Rain is pouring and it’s starting to snow, wind is blowing. Weather’s changing just like people’s minds all the time. But if we all stand together etc. Circumstance always changing making us insecure. World is full of misery and pain that’s for sure. But maybe just maybe there’s a cure, And love will keep us together rather than tear us apart x 3 And if we all stand together etc
