Low

Me and my friends we talk a lot
bout where the money's going to come from when the oil dries up
how it's hard to started when it's always cold
when winter comes and lays you down low
the wind just cuts you clean in half
and the boss is always on you though you're doing all you can
never time for reflecting on the rising tide
always chasing always tired
Low, out of mind
friends stop calling round
sinking from
all the pressures resting on my bones
i got a dream just to walk away
from the mirrors and smoke that disorientate
start the day normal running out the door
let the dust settle on all the old scores
Low, out of mind
friends stop calling round
water rising
sinking from
all the pressures resting on my bones
it might be a myth or a memory
it's hard to stop caring what other people see
now something is missing i remember long ago
how it's hard to stop searching laying down
Low, out of mind
friends stop calling round
water rising
sinking from
all the pressures resting on my bones

One More For The Road
04:01

One more for the road
One more for the stories left untold
One more for the dark places we go to when the whisky runs low
We’ve wandered these streets
Looking out for bad company to keep
We’ve broken through to the bones of our knees
For a place to sleep
This glass is empty and the floor is full
I couldn’t change this even if I would
I’d turn the clocks back if it wasn’t for this blood
And its need to do good
One more for the road
One more for the stories left untold
One more for the dark places we go to when the whisky runs low

I feel the air return to life
Chasing shadows through the sky
Distant sound of wheels turning
Stuck in time, the open plain
greens and blues turn to greys
Walk the steps of all our mothers
A silver town beneath the hill
Old tradition lives on still
Huddle down as change is coming
Believe for that ideal might
Be the cradle holds you tight
Now home fires burn a little different
Moving low across the plane
stone is tarnished in a way
of that of what was once so precious
Comparing all you have with what
You have seen, you have lost
Have returned, then have won
Ripped from the earth with your own hands
The quiet calm falls over all
Cleansing rain in the night
See it all with new eyes
Heavy going through the day
Ready come what may
Its the hope that kills you
I can't help it 'bout the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I aint pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to.
When I talk to God I know He'd understand
Said, "Stick by me I'll be your guiding hand"
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to.

First of April

Didn’t wake this morning, thinking that I would be wishing you goodbye for the last time
See the Devil’s clipped my wings and pulled me under
And I can see your face in the water
I was coming home, coming home to you
Coming home to you and our good life
I was coming home, coming home to you
Coming home to you and our good life
Spring was coming you had told me
You could smell it in the air and on the blossoming trees
Such a perfect day, not a trace of grey
Was calling out to warn me
I was coming home, coming home to you
Coming home to you and our good life
I was coming home, coming home to you
Coming home to you and our good life
Didn’t wake this morning, thinking that I would be wishing you goodbye for the last time

Arsenic

Don’t know just where I came to
And left before this night withdrew
How many wishes how many could have done’s will it take for us all to remember
How many times do I have to feel the burn of fear before it consumes us
I don’t want to see the sun, there’s not a truth without a lie
Turn away and twist the world, draw the rain from the skies
We return it all, run it down, run it right down to the brink
Feel the sun, to the rain, were just like arsenic, like arsenic
Tell my friends I don't need them
Just look at what a state were in
I felt the weight come crashing down, driving ever deeper to the bedrock
As giants in this land we walk around the clock turning it against us
But we stand so true. Pitiful afraid to make a move
We return it all, run it down, run it right down to the brink
Feel the sun, to the rain, were just like arsenic, like arsenic

Why We Fight
04:13
|

Been Told in the stars since time began
There’s no use running if the race is run
Dead on your feet from living on your knees
This was never how it was gonna be
It go to time for moving on
Where grass is greener and blue skies flow
Made it there but came right back
The people were kind but the earth was flat
Walking on the thin red line
Better not stumble better not sway to the side
I met a man was once my friend
Our eyes met for a moment and then we looked away
I don’t remember anymore, I don’t remember anymore
I don’t remember anymore. Why we fight
There’s Streets turn to river in the driving rain
Corpse of a car as the sun’s only shade
Standing tall but gone inside
Decline of the stock hidden in plain site
There people go hungry people in pain
Got to spend big keep the enemy from the gates
Shelter from the rain, Hide from the Sun
Steel from the soul, Bullets from the guns
Another War, and what will be
It’s a complicated vision of freedom and peace
So raise little knife I’ll raise little gun
And we can raise all our tommorows right into the ground
And remember it all, I don’t remember anymore
Remember it all…why we fight.
Walking on the thin red line
Better not stumble better not sway to the side
So raise little knife I’ll raise little gun
And we can raise all our tommorows right into the ground
And remember it all, I don’t remember anymore
Remember it all…why we fight.

Rise and Fall
03:32

Sunrise, but I can’t feel you
Just the space where you belong
And the early morning radio
Plays your voice in every song
Searching but I can’t find you
Just the things you left behind
And every strangers face
Hides a corner of your smile
Then I remember
Then I recall
Your solemn surrender
The rise and fall
Sunrise, but I can’t feel you
Just the space where you belong

ell yourself it will all be alright
Lying in the morning, never having slept all night
Not all night
Just as the stars align, take your hand join it to mine
I won’t reply
There’s an uneasy feeling I don’t recognise
Now it seems there’s nothing to say
Pleasures gone in the flash of a smile or a glance
Away
Stretched in front of me there walks another hope or just a false dawn
theres no surprise
The only light I see is reflected in your eyes
Now just as it all seems so low
You take my hand on the left and lead me to go
Time to decide. Tell me what your in this for
One last chance but I think I tried.
It all.
to make you feel alive
Disappointments hard to hide.
It’s the best years of your life
It’s the best years of your life

Elegy For a Seaside Town
03:48
|

As the train rolls out the station, It pulls my love behind
The days were growing older as the nights were growing blind
Maybe all would be forgiven But we never found the time
As the train disappears for the east coast line.
Past the coast, once so grand, what's so hard to understand
As if that's ever gonna change a thing
Take this chain, ride your luck, it’ll never be enough
To keep the tide from surging, keep these feet from stumbling
And stop the walls from crumbling to the sea
Questions to those answers got lost along the way
Tell the same old story of a half life slipped away
If I were the brakesman, I would halt that train
Disappear unnoticed to the east coast haze
Dusty road, ancient light, what the hells here not to like
Now that's never gonna mean a thing
Take this chain, ride your luck, it’ll never be enough
.
To stop a mind from drifting Stop a heart from resisting
And halt the rain by turning back the seas
Staring straight into the haze, never found the words to say
And now the land is shifting and reality is hitting home
It's easier to turn back than to leap
I can’t get through how different things could be
If I only could return your honesty

The Reckoning
05:14
|

Never before, have I seen a light so inviting
Never again, will I let that flame entice me
For it drew me in and it warmed by skin, then it burnt at my wings
And the truth be told I’m growing old
And it’s time to put away these childish things
So I built these walls, to keep me in
To keep you out, from under my skin
And if they should fall, let the games begin
As we take our places at the reckoning
Caught unawares, well I saw the signs and I hoped I would be spared
Caught in your sights, in this undergrowth of truth and lies there’s no place left to hide
So stay close to the ground, don’t make a sound
There’s only one way out of here alive and that’s in silence
And if we step outside the boundary lines, our fears will surely come to find us
So I built these walls, to keep me in
To keep you out, from under my skin
And if they should fall, let the games begin
As we take our places at the reckoning
So I built these walls, to keep me in
To keep you out, from under my skin
And if they should fall, let the games begin
As we take our places at the reckoning
