What Is There To Lose
03:27

stepping in out in style, swimming the nile
maybe climb a mountain or two
I got no place to be, I can’t find the eighth sea
but I’ve not looked under the stairs
I looked at the moon, from the safety of my room
watched it wax and wan
but tomorrows another day, guess I’ll be on my way
but I don’t know where to
what is there to lose girl, and what is there to gain
let's go all the way, riding the midnight train
I ain’t out of luck, I just don’t give a fuck
I'll take it all in my stride
I guess I don’t care, that I’m losing my hair
It’s money saved on a comb
I took a picture of my heart, put it on a graph
to measure love
I don’t understand, the rules of the land
so I live by my soul
what is there to lose girl, and what is there to gain
let's go all the way, riding the midnight train
baby I don’t know, what’s down the road
we’ll find out when we get there
maybe do a dance, take a gamble, take a chance
maybe dodge a bullet or two
don’t expect too much, from where you end up
it’s the journey that gets you there
sing a little song, right a few wrongs
but be sure to draw your own map
i sailed out to see in the depth of a dream
but woke in the shallow end
i pulled in to port as a last resort
as i'd rather seek some rum
what is there to lose girl, and what is there to gain
let's go all the way, riding the midnight train
they say life is short, but it is the biggest thing
i'll ever know
if you wanna be happy, then don't water
the seeds of sorrow
don't forget to live, or soon you'll end up
digging your own grave
the worlds a busy place and feet are misplaced
walking a broken path
what is there to lose girl, and what is there to gain
let's go all the way, riding the midnight train
you gotta accept, the adventure
of being you
no one else gets to try, and we're all gonna die
so just go with the flow

Settle Your Mind
02:50
|
|||
|
well i woke up, unsettled mind
knew peace was what i had to find
i no longer wanted to count the minutes
they're too short to really live in
so i checked the weather
got my shit together
headed out the door
i bumped into a friend of mine
who worried about the state of time
said not to worry, no need to stress
look at us both, at least we're dressed
i've got a pocket full of ideas
and hope under my hat
it'll be alright
nobody knows, what's down the road
but it's a one way, so off we go
i ain't gonna let the worries you have
get in my head and make me daft
i ain't got it sorted
but neither have you
so why'd you care?
the worlds going crazy and i refuse to go
if you wanna run away i can get a ticket for two
the birds will sing, their little song
the little ants do their little walk
it's live or die, are you even gonna try
or just complain to the empty sky
the clouds don't care
who they're above
so sing in the rain
look at the people, floating by
dreaming of castles in the sky
it's a swell idea but not practical
where's the foundations to build it on
i want to be where
i can't be found
so take me there

I Do Endeavour
01:13

I do endeavour
to protect you in all weathers
to love you through all seasons
yeah you are the reason...
…i'm believing
that love is the feeling
that has me on cloud nine
I’m so glad that you’re mine…
…to have, to hold
whether I’m timid or bold
calm or energetic
you are so poetic…
…in the way you move
and the way that you groove
to the rhythm of time
take it all in your stride...
…right by my side
as we conquer mountains high
it’s me and you forever
I shall always endeavour

Goodbye Problems
01:30
|
|||
|
say hello to the flower
wave good morning to the cow
say goodbye to your problems
make yourself a happy world
say hello to the bright side
wave farewell to blues
say goodbye to your problems
make yourself a happy world
say hello to opportunity
send a wave to the sea
say goodbye to your problems
make yourself a happy world
if the wind brings the clouds in
remember they'll soon pass
the rain might fall but you're still beautiful
the sun will shine again
say hello to the sunshine
tip your hat to the moon
make a wish upon the stars
and dream of good things yet to be
