The Path 05:46
The universe has spoken My path it has been chosen I saw the rays of sunlight leave your eyes I look to the horizon Important more than I am I'd never see my life this way again Freedom lies before you Believing she adores you It's hard to smile when things get torn apart My path it was set for me The lies they have destroyed me Heading endlessly into the dark And I said "Please, don't do this as it will compromise every single aspect of my life Severity, such cruelty, can I be put on ice until time has passed Let the light begin again"

Dead eyes here tonight I think I found myself so lonely Moving further away, moving further away I'm back in my hometown where the darkness chose y fate And I'm living without you. I came back, is it too late? And I'm on the street, where we left to escape And I can not hide, Something's in the way YOU THRILLED ME, FULTHFILLED ME, THEN KILLED ME FOR THE WORLD TO SEE BUT WE HAVE ALL MOVED ON, WITH THE STRENGTH TO CARRY ON IT DAZED ME, AMAZED ME, YOU SAVED ME LIKE NO ONE ELSE CAN WE HAVE ALL MOVED ON, WE HAD THE STRENGTH TO CARRY ON I've always believed that we can't control our fate It's for those you believe in, who can talk you through your pain. And I'm on that street, looking back with all I have And I'm wondering, is there something in the way YOU THRILLED ME, FULTHFILLED ME, THEN KILLED ME FOR THE WORLD TO SEE BUT WE HAVE ALL MOVED ON, WITH THE STRENGTH TO CARRY ON IT DAZED ME, AMAZED ME, YOU SAVED ME LIKE NO ONE ELSE CAN WE HAVE ALL MOVED ON, WE HAD THE STRENGTH TO CARRY ON YOU THRILLED ME, FULTHFILLED ME, THEN KILLED ME FOR THE WORLD TO SEE BUT WE HAVE ALL MOVED ON, WITH THE STRENGTH TO CARRY ON YOU TOOK ME, YOU CHANGED ME, FORSAKE ME, HAD HATE FOR ME BUT WE HAVE ALL MOVED ON, WE HAD THE STRENGTH TO CARRY ON

We were young we were wild we were free From the grip of Technology We could walk everywhere I could see the whites of your eyes The soles of our feet used to hurt everyday We didn't get rides like we do today We breathe in the fresh air our lungs were so clean Playing on the streets, we would never be seen THE DAYS WERE SO LONG, OUR YOUTH CARRIED ON THE YEARS PASSED AND WE'RE LOOKING BACK THE ADVERNTURES GONE TAKE ME RIGHT BACK HOLD ME INSIDE THAT DREAM LIVE IN 1 9 8 3 Hit by a car back in '79 but I remember feeling fine I got to look into my mother's eyes one more time School kept me alive I had so many friends No-one didn't mind who were back then The TVs gone and the radio's on These were crazy, crazy crazy nights THE DAYS WERE SO LONG, OUR YOUTH CARRIED ON THE YEARS PASSED AND WE'RE LOOKING BACK THE ADVERNTURES GONE TAKE ME RIGHT BACK HOLD ME INSIDE THAT DREAM LIVE IN 1 9 8 3 There were no dark thoughts hiding in our minds We dreamed of being old wished away our time Stop for a moment to relive those days Forever young, don't give it away THE DAYS WERE SO LONG, OUR YOUTH CARRIED ON THE YEARS PASSED AND WE'RE LOOKING BACK THE ADVERNTURES GONE TAKE ME RIGHT BACK HOLD ME INSIDE THAT DREAM LIVE IN 1 9 8 3

Shine 06:55
You were the one who made me spread my wings Bu you criticize me all the same And you were the one who took my innocence And you told me it would always be this way You hid from all you feared where dead and gone But you didn't know that was for sure And You gave birth to the one you called your own And you blessed him, but he never asked you to And now the time has come Just to spend a little time apart And now the time has come Just to rid ourselves of pain And now the time has come To make changes and get out of here And now the time has come Just to give ourselves a break All your stars will always shine Catch me when I'm falling, I can't take this pain no more And now the time has come Just to spend a little time apart And now the time has come Just to rid ourselves of pain And now the time has come To make changes and get out of here And now the time has come Just to give ourselves a break All your stars will always shine Catch me when I'm falling, I can't take this pain no more All your stars will always shine As these years are dawning, things will never be the same All your stars will always shine

Lifeline 05:32
Doing all I can though no-one understands this insecurity Working on that line, giving up my precious time to those who feed from me In the corner of this place, A screen full of hate and mind control But it won't be long for those days to come along when I'm back in that space, it can change the way you feel DON'T THINK ABOUT THE PAST TIMES DON'T THINK ABOUT THE BAD TIMES JUST FOLLOW YOUR LIFELINE DON'T LISTEN TO THE NEWS TODAY DON'T LISTEN TO THE WORDS THEY SAY JUST FOLLOW YOUR LIFELINE Look back today I thought about the way you took me energy And the stars would shine my way there was no way I could stay in all this misery In the corner of this place, that screen full of hate and mind control I'm not listening anymore, gonna walk out that door and find a better place and not look back to you DON'T THINK ABOUT THE PAST TIMES DON'T THINK ABOUT THE BAD TIMES JUST FOLLOW YOUR LIFELINE DON'T LISTEN TO THE NEWS TODAY DON'T LISTEN TO THE WORDS THEY SAY JUST FOLLOW YOUR LIFELINE And it all comes down to this

Single girl.. gin and lemonade Silhouette in the corner hiding in the shade and the band plays on and on and on I wasn't looking for a big romance maybe a hook up after a little dance And the band plays on and on and on I DIDN'T WANT LOVE AND I DIDN'T WANT YOU I HAD A FEELING INSIDE I BELIEVED WOULD COME TRUE I STOLE A KISS WHEN I KNEW THAT IT WASN'T RIGHT I LEFT HER STANDING IN THE COLD WHILST I LOOKED IN YOUR EYES I REMEMBER IT WELL THAT LATE DECEMBER LIE A wayward glance from a future bride A stolen kiss right by the fireside And the music plays on and on and on Sat on the doorstep love has been abused Waiting in the cold feeling so confused And the night goes on and on and on I DIDN'T WANT LOVE AND I DIDN'T WANT YOU I HAD A FEELING INSIDE I BELIEVED WOULD COME TRUE I STOLE A KISS WHEN I KNEW THAT IT WASN'T RIGHT I LEFT HER STANDING IN THE COLD WHILST I LOOKED IN YOUR EYES I REMEMBER IT WELL THAT LATE DECEMBER LIE Late December Late December never lies See her sitting by my front door Broken heart lying on the floor and the night went on and on and on It didn't take long for everything to line up 2 lovers fall out and a little good luck watching Blackie sing on a warm summer night you called me to tell me that the time was now right Then we met on that date late September night I DIDN'T WANT LOVE AND I DIDN'T WANT YOU I HAD A FEELING INSIDE I BELIEVED WOULD COME TRUE LIKE A KICK IN THE FACE THAT IT WASN'T RIGHT I LEFT HER STANDING IN THE COLD WHILST I LOOKED IN YOUR EYES I REMEMBER IT WELL THAT LATE DECEMBER LIE I DIDN'T WANT LOVE AND I DIDN'T WANT YOU I HAD A FEELING INSIDE I BELIEVED WOULD COME TRUE I STOLE A KISS WHEN I KNEW THAT IT WASN'T RIGHT I LEFT HER STANDING IN THE COLD WHILST I LOOKED IN YOUR EYES I REMEMBER IT WELL THAT LATE DECEMBER LIE

Without You 05:37
I remember a friend of mine, So sad now that she's gone They'll tell me that I'll forget, Forget as time goes on You could have any man any man that crossed your way Your smile could dry a hundred tears Oh my friend I miss now you're gone Oh, now you're gone I cry your name out in the wind I hear you calling I never realised how lost and lonely I'd be Here without you, without you Bleached blonde hair, wicked eyes and legs to kill I should have known that you lied when you said you will There'll come the day when your looks all fade away I see you standing in the rain, standing in the rain I cry your name out in the wind I hear you calling I never realised how lost and lonely I'd be Here without you, without you Here without you....

Forevermore 06:36
Hoping that she will come again and again And he hopes this time she will help him mend And he's holding back the tears in his eyes Hoping that she'll never see him cry Holding her in his arms is all he ever thinks about Every night he wakes in tears try to block those vivid dreams out She's close enough to feel his pain but not a million miles away now But the words he wants to say just can't come out Beating of a cold and empty heart At night he drinks he drinks and tears himself apart The loneliness and crazy thoughts where nobody sees your pain Emptiness surrounding him is the only thing left to remain WALK AWAY NOW, LET IT GO NOW THOUGH YOUR LIFE IS INCOMPLETE DON'T BE HOLDING BACK THE TEARS FOREVERMORE TAKE SOME TIME TO THINK IT OVER THOUGH YOUR LIFE IS INCOMPLETE DON'T BE HOLDING BACK THE TEARS FOREVERMORE Hoping that she will come again and again And he hopes this time she will help him mend And she knows his heart is filled with pain But doesn't seem to care now The words he wants to say just won't come out WALK AWAY NOW, LET HER GO NOW THOUGH YOUR LIFE IS INCOMPLETE DON'T BE HOLDING BACK THE TEARS FOREVERMORE TAKE SOME TIME TO REGAIN CONTROL THOUGH YOUR LIFE IS INCOMPLETE DON'T BE HOLDING BACK THE TEARS FOREVERMORE

8 o' Clock on Monday morning and I'm sitting on a train On my way to suffer the superficial and mundane I take my coat off make a drink and begin to take my chair My mind begins to wander and it takes me right back there A few words are said and it comes clear that the future's there to grasp 6 strings, a voice and an open road we never looked toward the past An agent for our blood and sweat with one eye on the prize Too much for me too much for you the dots began to change our minds Sunday nights with no money to spend Getting sick n tired of the ice cream van A 4 track player with us right to the end now we're Shooting Aliens The thorns upon the old Black Rose may have drawn a little blood Harsh words were spoke and the gloves came off, we're gonna drag it through the mud They took the shirts right off our backs and they left us all for dead But we came back to fight another day we're Shooting Aliens instead

If (2022) 05:55
If I could get out of here I could Walk a thousand miles And I would give anything to see your pretty eyes If I had the time to think I could Remember my own name These strange jumped up little northern girls All seem to look the same If I, I could get out of here If I, I could escape I thought you needed love If I, I could escape If I, I could get out of here If I, I could escape I thought you needed love

Giving you my last heartbeat I'd give it up for free I tried to write a song about you But it ended up about me A time to look at what I gave back A time to look once was I've been standing here forever Did I really find my cause So how do we say goodbye Maybe we need a little more time to show you that it mattered That I was here alive I tried to give it everything i thought I had to give And make sure that it mattered I didn't waste the I lived We only get one chance at this circus The one that they call life] And there is no reset button And we never get to rewind I moved forward through these years and I hope I made you smile I left my marks upon this train ride I'm gonna sit here and think about them for a while So how do we say goodbye Maybe we need a little more time to show you that it mattered That I was here alive I tried to give it everything I thought I had to give And make sure that it mattered I didn't waste the I lived I hope I leave this world a better place Than the one I came to find These things I leave behind me I hope they're loving and they're kind So how do we say goodbye Will you read between the lines And make sure that it mattered That I was here alive Will you give it everything I know you have to give And make sure that it matters don't waste the time you live
