Grand Old English Oak Tree
My grand old English oak tree, in late last summer's evening sun
A shadow of your former self when you were great and proud and strong
The hills, they stretch so far beyond whatever you could ever hope to see
Here is where your glory lies, beneath these fields of apathy and greed
How can I trust you when your boughs have broken beneath my feet a thousand times before?
How can I love you when your leaves are always brown they fall around me without shame
My grand old English oak tree, in late last summer's evening sun
You took the P out of my pride, I've been taken for a ride
Will you grow forever till your leaves can mingle with the furthest stars?
And millions come from miles around to shelter underneath your holy palms
How can I trust you when your boughs have broken beneath my feet a thousand times before?
How can I love you when your leaves are always brown they fall around me without shame
Without an ounce of shame
No hope and glory left I said how can we have let you down?
Laughing Jack and the Union Star, God hope I'll be around
Cold Tea
Be careful where you tread you don't want to do any harm
And you don't have to have a reason to do what you do when you do it
When you don't want to be all alone you can turn to me
Because it's easy there's nothing worse than cold tea
You say it's in the wrist it's in the rhythm of your palm
You life's and open field and you can run, run till you drop
To lie in long grass or between the sheets that you brought along
We forget the pot that was hot before it got cold
Make your mark and hope it works because there's more to life to see
Make your mark, make it loud and clear because there's more to life with me
Give you an inch and you'll walk with a smile
Give me a slice and I'll be quiet for a while
You've got to grow with what you believe
Staying Out For The Summer
I'm staying out for the summer playing games in the rain
The hills and the fortune got me fooled again
I'm staying out for the summer playing games in the rain
The hills and the fortune won't be the same again
I'm staying out for the summer I'm staying out for the summer
I'm staying out for the summer
You see I work in a factory I need the money I don't want to be late though I hate this place
I got my debts to pay for free me from this race they're going to have to wait
If I ever see you again I will tell you why
I was low and insecure I didn't want to make you cry
Well my good has turned bad and it's just my luck that you're not on my side
So what happens now where did you go with these feelings I hide?
Staying out for the summer
I've had enough lining pockets I've never met
They've got me working all hours I ain't gained nothing yet
If I ever see you again I will tell you why
I was low and insecure if I ever see you cry I didn't want to make you cry
Well my good has turned bad and it's just my luck that you're not on my side
So what happens now where did you go with these feelings I write?
In A Room
In a room there's no other faces don't know why I'm feeling like this
Tell me lies, I won't believe them why don't it always turn out right?
If we are together again surely this will never end
These times have changed this is never gone before
I'm waiting for you behind the door
In a room there's no other faces I sit alone here let through the night
In a room, we're slowly wasting I don't belong here, it don't seem right
If we are together again surely this will never end
These times have changed this is never gone before
I'm waiting for you behind the door
She lies sleeping in a half filled bed, her eyes no longer study her emptiness
In a room there's only so much space two souls playing in loneliness
I've thrown away the key I've gone and locked myself and for good
No one can reach me no one hears my voice anymore not anymore
If we are together again surely this will never end
These times have changed this is never gone before
I'm waiting for you behind the door
If we are together again surely this will never end
If we are together again surely this will never end
If we are together again surely this will never end
Jack The Lad
There's nothing left for you now except to hang out with the guys
Now everyone can fear you, no one dare look in your eyes
When trouble follows your every move, the description always fits your face
You'll have me sure gonna have to prove, the failure you'll have to take
And as the night goes on, the stories unfold tales of how many drinks you can hold
How many pigs it took to hold you down and how many thieves it takes to steal the town
I can't be bothered with him, he's gonna treat me this way
I'm in the back seat and you are never going my way
What does he have to treat me bad there's no more chances for Jack The Lad
No one ever confronted you, you're never without a crowd
The thought had never cross your mind to do your mother proud
Muggings is your speciality on which you all have bailed
I do believe it's the reason, for this life you'd be even insane
And as the night goes on, the stories unfold tales of how many drinks you can hold
How many pigs it took to hold you down and how many thieves it takes to steal the town
I can't be bothered with him, he's gonna treat me this way
I'm in the back seat and you are never going my way what does he have to treat me bad
I can't be bothered with him, he's gonna treat me this way
I'm in the back seat and you are never going my way
What does he have to treat me bad there's no more chances for Jack The Lad
You Give Drugs A Bad Name
Given up on hope we're looking for the glory thinking you're a positive heroin story
Fresh out of sense never had no shame you give drugs a bad name
Click your heels three times if you can get off the floor
You're swallowing tears you cried because you can't find the door
I've got a feeling we're not in Camden
I've got a feeling we're not in Camden
Handwritten letter lies next to your pipe the only two things now left in your life
That ain't been stolen broken or destroyed the only two things to keep you back from the void
Click your heels three times if you can get off the floor
You're swallowing tears you cried because you can't find the door
I've got a feeling we're not in Camden anymore
I've got a feeling we're not in Camden anymore
I've got a feeling just a feeling we're not in Camden anymore
I've got a feeling just a feeling we're not in Camden anymore
I've got a feeling just a feeling we're not in Camden anymore
I've got a feeling just a feeling we're not in Camden anymore
