What Is On Your Mind 02:36
lyrics
buy track
What is it that’s on your mind Tell me dear, we are one of a kind What is it, that is on your mind Feel like the hammer is falling down Bury my love deep in the ground What is on your mind What is on your mind Who am I to disagree The floodwater’s rising up to our knees Who am I to disagree There’s a mill wheel grinding through my heart tonight Ain’t nothing more blinding than a love that’s out of sight We got a love that’s out of sight Feel like the hammer is falling down Bury my love deep in the ground Tell me what is on your mind Tell me what is on your mind There’s a stagecoach stranded in the storm tonight The horse broke free Now it’s running on fright Now it’s running, running on fright There’s a lesson to be learned from our impropriety What it is maybe you can tell me Won’t you tell me What is on your mind Feel like the hammer is falling down Bury my love deep in the ground Tell me what is on your mind Tell me what is on your mind

Stand Tall 04:33
lyrics

Wake up, shake yourself down Don’t leave til tomorrow, whatever comes around Stand Tall, don’t be caught lying down Step on into the melee, Or you’re gonna lose your ground Stand tall Your grandfather’s died In the year of their prime Fell in fields of blood red roses Way ahead of their time Your grandmothers wept Broken and bent Carried armies of orphans Til they too were sent Stand tall, don’t be caught lying down Fight for freedom you about to give away If’n you don’t stick your head out and have your say Of the greedy take good care and good heed They will strike in your sleep They’ll take more than they could ever need And they don’t need they will keep from you Stand tall Ain’t no use in crying You know liars be lying What they sell you ain’t buying Love your neighbour As you love yourself Don’t give in to hatred Leave it on the shelf Stand tall Ain’t no use in crying You know liars be lying What they sell you ain’t buying Wake up Shake yourself down Step on into the melee Or you’re gonna lose your ground Stand tall stand tall stand tall stand tall Stand tall

Darkest Hour 02:46
lyrics
buy track
Have you ever wondered in the darkest hour just before the dawn breaks through why so many people keep moving round in circles never seem to know what to do have you ever noticed in the tallest towers lonely mothers searching for a proof singing soft and feeble with their backs up against the steeple praying for some deeper kind of truth Have you ever wondered why so many people never give themselves a chance to live before they die have you ever wondered why so many people never give themselves a chance to live before they die Have you ever realised for all the mouths that theorise the truth can only come in its own time for all the fools and wise men the window may be opened but only love will help your heart to find it Have you ever wondered why so many people never give themselves a chance to live before they die have you ever wondered why so many people never give themselves a chance to live before they die

Don’t be sorry, for me Don’t be sorry, for me If I die, before I wake today If I die, before I wake today Don’t you cry for me I only wanted to be free And even if I close my eyes You can tell by the smiling skies Every soul must claim its prize Every soul must claim its prize Don’t be sorry for me Don’t be sorry for me If I die before I see your face If I die before I see your face Don’t tell me I’m wrong I still got a place to belong And even if I close my eyes You can tell by the smiling skies Every soul must claim its prize Every soul must claim its prize Don’t be sorry for me Don’t be sorry for me If I die before I see you again If I die before I see you again I still got you in my soul It\s a love that can never grow old And even if I close my eyes You can tell by the smiling skies Every soul must claim its prize Every soul must claim its prize Don’t be sorry for me Don’t be sorry for me

Strange days nothing ever is the way they tell you that it is strange nights feel like you’re dead inside and you never put up a fight strange dreams in which everything is opposite to the way it seems strange life nothing gets to you quite like the turning of the knife strange days strange days stranger in your bed can’t help yourself from wondering if you’re alive or if you’re dead Stranger in your room can’t help but suffocate your dreams beneath the blanket of doom stranger in the hall oh babe they got your number always say they're gonna call stranger in the house you feel alone and terrorised ain't no one can get you out stranger in the stand push you to the ground claim the blood is on your hands the blood is on your hands claim the blood is on your hands Strange days nothing ever is the way they tell you that it is strange nights you feel like you're dead inside and you never put up a fight

Back To The Mainstream 02:34
lyrics
buy track
So it’s on again my dear old friend Submarine beneath the waves And now I think I’m falling Losing hold Cursing myself for being so bold I tried to make you look inside Tried to make you face all the things you used to hide Now you’ve gone back to living your life As if you’ve already died Back to the mainstream for you For you Back to the mainstream for you For you Back to the mainstream if I can’t help you…. You’re locked inside your own space With your head upon your knees Your eyes are blazed and bloodshot Life is a cold without a sneeze You slip into the shivering shade Crying in the deep freeze And you wonder at the world outside Life is a forest without trees Back to the mainstream for you For you Back to the mainstream for you For you Back to the mainstream if I can’t help you…. You say goodbye one more time Life is a cup of tea And you’re like a dead fish moving south Life is a river to the sea Old school friends dive in eagerly So you wade in up to your knees Old Leonard died this morning He was always hard to please Back to the mainstream for you For you Back to the mainstream for you For you Back to the mainstream if I can’t help you….

Part of the One 02:15
lyrics
buy track
in these days of shattered hearts and souls in shards of scattered glass I sank my head through the earth until a sparrow sang on the window sill Demons beseeched me from every which way fires are burning their flames in my hair turned my face t'ward the light of the sun I realise I'm just a part of the one part of the one part of the one The souls too fresh to cling to their youth learn in the fires of unrepentant truth the place and the time to be real has come realise we are part of the one part of the one realise we are all part of the one part of the one part of the one

Prison Wall 02:37
lyrics
buy track
Don’t forget about me When you’re out there in the world Don’t forget about me I know you got to get your flag unfurled Find your feet put on your girl But don’t forget about me Set fire to the prison wall It cannot hold you if you’re free Set fire to the prison wall It cannot tell you who to be baby be real and say exactly what you feel give me something to hold or let's just let it fold feel the love drain out like the ocean tide give me truth now baby leave me with my pride I'm going going gone oh forget about me when you're out there in the world find your feet put on your girl you got to get your flag unfurled oh forget about me Set fire to the chains of time They give no reason give no rhyme Rise on the dreams of those You’ll learn much more than you suppose Set fire to the chains of time
