Not How I Raised my Love

Not how I raised my love
That’s not how I raised my love
That’s not how I raised my love
When the school bell rings
I run down the stairs
I’ll find you in the city
I stare at you from across the road
You sit down next to me
Time slows
The walls they are moving
And I must go
That’s not how I raised my love
This is not how I raised my love
I see red
I see stars
And I’ll fantasise
It keeps me up all night
My mind wanders
My body drifts away
I see you undress
But the light it fades
I see light
I see love
I see red
I see stars
I see light
I see love
I see red
I see stars
That’s not how I raised my love
This is not how I raised my love

Hide it all Away

Hide it all away
Just like a river
I open my mouth to speak
Then I hide it all away
I wanna hide it all away
I like to listen
But I don’t really know what to say
Tomorrow and today
I get to hide it all away
I feel like a catastrophe
I never ever get very far
Always inside when it’s raining
Then I look out into the dark
I get to hide it all away
I wanna hide it all away
I wanna hold on
I wanna hold on
I wanna hold on
I wanna hold on
I won’t throw I won’t give anything
I wanna hold on I wanna hold on
I wanna hide it all away
I wanna hide it all away
I wanna
I wanna hide it all away
I wanna
I wanna hide it all away
oh yeah tomorrow and today
I get to hide it all away

Vampire Love Song
La la la la
La la la la
I ride with the wind
into the north
What love takes me there
If I get a taste for blood
I’ll come around
Theres no body I’d rather see
Please let me come
Oh let me come round
I’ll cross seven bridges
To reach the other side
What love takes me there
If I get a taste for blood
I’ll come around
There aint no body I’d rather see
Please let me come
let me come round
let me come round
let me come round
La la la la
La la la la

Out of Love
Out of love out of love before I realise
Out of love out of love before I realise
The war don’t stop its just changing
Lying on the floor don’t wanna get up again
At which point did I give in
Out of love out of love before I realise
Out of love out of love before I realise
One by one the mystery falls away
Living in the past every single day
I think I missed the point of living
Out of love out of love before I realise
Out of love out of love before I realise
Living is the way to never live again
all out of love because love has an end
Living is the way to never live again cause I’m
all out of love because love has an end
Keep on walking cause the war don’t stop
Lying on the floor you ain’t never getting up
Living is the way to never live again
all out of love because love has an end
Who calls the shots when you are giving in
All out of love because love has an end
One by one and the mystery’s gone
But I still want you to prove that I’m wrong
Living is the way to never live again
all out of love because love has an end
Call me a friend and I will call you twice
I’m all out of love before I realise
Living is the way to never live again
And I’m all out of love because love has an end
Reality bites but don’t let it sink in
Living in the past is a comfortable sin
Out of love
Out of Love

Desperation is a Friend of mine
First time in a long time
I wish it never moved so fast
Sunlight is a friend of mine
and it never ever burned so bad
and it’s getting too hot to touch
I can’t love the pain enough
Lost down the corridors
I wish I hadn’t found the love
Something lies in the corner
And I can’t put my finger on
I shouldn’t ever go it alone
But I love to feel the pain on my own
Some nights I feel like
a raconteur gone too far
Desperation is a friend of mine
And he’s gonna let me drive the car
If every star burns like a sun
I’m gonna take the pain and run
It’s getting too hot to touch
but I can’t love the pain enough

Son of a Gun

Heart on my sleave
Watch it bleed
Hold on to my hand
Let go of my heart
Some ones got to let go
Some ones got to let go
Run baby run
As fast as the sun
The morning will catch up to you
Gonna catch you if it can
I’m a son of a gun
I’ve got love on the run
I’m a son of a gun
Silence is golden
There’s little to be said
Words they are meaningless
Don’t know how to have any fun
Don’t know how to have any fun
I’m a son of a gun
I’ve got love on the run
I’m a son of a gun

No One Will Believe You

No one will believe you
Open my eyes and I awake
Stare out the window to the day
The old are dead and the kids all grown up
The music’s changed but its ok
It’s always been hard to let everything go
When I awoke pain slipped away
May not remember the day to day
But something lingers and wants to stay
It burns below and it burns beneath
I am not on a placebo
Stare at my gaze and I’ll stare right back
No one will believe you
But no one will believe you
La la la la la la
So long
I won’t be coming back
Not even the son can save the day
I can throw all the caution that I want
It’s the letting go that keep me awake
you can’t write a song that I can’t write myself
You don’t know
It burns blow and it burns beneath
I am not on a placebo
Stare at my gaze and I’ll stare right back
No one will believe you
No one will believe you
La la la la la la la la

Grover’s Mill
I spend time in Grover’s Mill
Fear feeds me
Alive
I awake in a day dream
Imagination drowns me
I feel my body
Let go
I get lost in Grover’s Mill
Wild nights and wild days
Someone believes me
Like I
Believe in you
La la la la la
La la la la la
I spend time in Grover’s Mill
I get lost in Grover’s Mill
I’m alive in Grover’s Mill
I’m alive in Grover’s Mill

I Lie to Myself
I’ve got Lie lie lie lie
I’ve got to lie to myself before I lie to you
How do we ever care about anything
When we got nothing to loose
I go over it
But I don’t want to choose
I’ve got Lie lie lie lie
I lie to myself before I lie to you
Softly softly
Is how we get through the day
And I would be lying
If I had nothing to say
If I’d run away from it all
I’d never get back to you
Without a distraction
There’s not much I could do
Lie Lie Lie
