If you want to refresh your memory of the lyrics, or you’re just plain curious, have a gander below. But remember- if we sing something different, it’s not a mistake, it’s ‘artistic licence’!

Flowers by the road

I don’t know you when, your, behind the wheel
I don’t recognise, the-look, on your face, when,
You’re behind the wheel

(Chorus:)
Why would you trade it for
Flowers by the road?
Is that what you want, is that what you want
Flowers by the road

Feels good you say, when your behind the wheel
To push it hard to thrash it out.
The rush, in your veins when you’re behind the wheel

(Chorus)
An intake of breath, a skid and a spin.
Now we’re just flowers by the road
(Chorus x2)

Wander

Sitting there trapped behind your desk,
You can’t think straight you head’s a mess
Joi-oi-oin the dreamers and let your mind,
Wan-der, a-way

(Chorus)
Oh o I’ve been there before, oh o I’ve been there before
We need to break out, we need the freedom
We need to change the scene

Too much tea, what else is there to do?
‘Cept head to the kit-chen and make another brew
Joi-oi-oin the dreamers and let your mind,
Wan-der, a-way

(Chorus)

Do what you got-a do, do what you got-a do
To get you through

(Chorus)
We-e need to cha-ange the scene

Save yourself

I don’t know, I can’t say. Living without your dreams, there’s another way
I don’t think, you can pay, to get tomorrow if you waste today

(Chorus:)
Why do people crawl on their knees,
Looking for a way to meet, the dreams that they want.
Follow your heart and stand up proud
Move away from the dying crowd
And set yourself free. Oh-oh set yourself free

I don’t think, you will find
What you’re looking for, whilst you are blind
You must be one of a kind
Push the boat out, and use your mind

(Chorus)

We would all like to settle down, if we could
Live a lie-i, yes we would
We would all like to settle down, if we could
Live a lie-I, yes we would (X3)

Keep these days

Gon-a set you-oo loose, I can see,
Com-in as the inevitable. Now is my chance to be sure.
Look back with a smile

(Chorus:)
Though the years will pass, concentrate and come back to here
Gonna keep these days, I’m gonna need them
(Claps)

Tak-ing mem-or-ies like photos
Make the everyday memorable, capture the love in a look
Look back with a smile

(Chorus)

Now I set you-oo loose, I can see,
It was always inevitable. But it’s there in my heart,
Look back with a smile

(Chorus)

Partner in crime

I don’t need a pro-tector. I need a partner in crime.
You shake your head, and give me the lo-ook.
As if you, could fix my, fix my wayward smile
When will you get it, don’t need fix-eh-eh-eh-in, fix-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-in

(Chorus:)
I’m not, gonna throw it all away. I don’t need a safety net.
I need wings. Woh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh. I need wings

Don’t need a ow-ner. I need a partner in crime.
You stretch your hand, as if to a pe-et.
As if you, could keep me, keep me on a lead.
When will you get it, don’t need keep-i-i-i-in, keep-i-i, i-i, i-i-i-in

(Chorus)

If you don’t un-lock your life, you’ll never understand why I like mine free-ee

Don’t need a doc-tor, I need a partner in crime.
Don’t mind some burns, cause I want fi-ire.
As if you, could heal me, like some broken bird.
When will you get it, don’t need sav-i-i-i-in, sav-i-i, i-i, i-i-i-in

(Chorus)

Gyroscope

Have you had your heart, broken? If you haven’t my friend, you won’t understand.
To re-alise your doubt in everything. Wari-ness is all that’s left to give.
The slow spinning weight acts like a gyroscope to counteract the motion.

(Chorus:)
The world is not the same. Nothing’s certain.
The world is not the same. Nothing’s certain__
When gooood people do bad things to you
When gooood people do bad things to you

May-be your heart is broken, and you see smiles that you don’t understand.
When lover’s talk is tainted, fairytales, noth plastic and unreal.
You’re going through the motions but the gyroscope stops hearts from being moved.

(Chorus)

Kind handsom eyes just looked my way, but my eyes reply with nothing good to say.
Walks past me in the corridor. No curiosity will turn my head.
With the gyroscope in my heart there will be no more falling head over heels.

(Chorus X2)

Catch the moonlight

See the lightening, it’s a warning sign. Take a look and decide
In the dawning, if we notice in time. Follow our spirit that’s our guide.

(Chorus:)
See the mountains rise from the sea. Oh the price that we’ll pay.
See the mountains tum-ble

Catch the moonlight from inside the dark. Lights the shadows to pave the way.
But if we no-tice, the world could still be ours. Nature must have it’s say.

(Chorus)

It’s time for pri-ide, use hearts and minds
It’s time to shine.
It’s time for pri-ide, use hearts and minds
It’s time to shine, oh yeah

Feel the sunlight, shining on the skin. Light the dark side of my life.
Precious mo-ments, if we drink it in.
Life is short, live it long.

(Chorus)

Gift relationship

There’s nothing left, take it with me when I’m all gone.
Some people think it is so wrong. Now we’re worlds apart.
Gift relationship from the heart.

(Chorus)

You receive, you give, is that too much, oh oh, oo oh oh  X2
You receive, you give, is that too much to ask

The eyes are there, but what they see won’t be through me.
The heart will beat , a new could be. Now we’re world apart.
Gift relationship from the heart.

(Chorus)
Automatic owners of our bodies X4

My last breath, hope it counts as it fades away. Will it bring you that new day?
Now we’re worlds apart. Gift relationships from the heart.

(Chorus)
Automatic owners of our bodies X4

No Harm No Foul

Do you want to call it off?
Is that what you want?
If, this, was the one, you’d be fighting for us.
One of us would say something.
Cause if you don’t care then love, I don’t care.

(Chorus)
No Harm, no foul
No Harm no foul

This could be a good op-portunity, is it worth saying no, just to be, with, me?
If we can’t get over this we’ll never reach the finish line.

(Chorus2)
If you’re not hurt, then I’m, not, hurt.
No harm no foul

(Middle bit)
We’re falling at the first hurdle
We’re diving at the first tackle
We’re falling and you’re not getting up

Did you want to call it off?
Is that what you meant?
If this was the one we’d be fighting for us.
One of us should say something.
Cause if you don’t care then love, I don’t care.

(Chorus)
(Middle bit)
(Instrumental half verse and part chorus)
(Chorus and half chorus)

You’re wrong

(1intro)
You say you don’t and I say you do, that’s how it goes ’till you go away.
Like a crushed paper bag, a squashed tin can, you’re seeking a bin to throw me away.
The shame, the shame

(Chorus)
I don’t like the way that you say,
you’re wrong, you’re wrong.          (x4)                    I don’t like the way that you say
you’re wrong, you’re wrong.         (x4)

Like old mascara or smudged lipstick, all you want is to wash it away.
I’m a stain on your name I know it’s true, all that you want is to wash me away.
The shame, the shame.

(Chorus)
(4 instrumental)

I say you won’t and you say you will, that’s when you hit him and you walk away.
Down he went and didn’t get up, by the time the fuzz came I’d forgotten your name.
The shame, the shame

(Chorus)

Die

I’ll die if you find out (x4)

Heading over the hill, heading over and far away
I need to find some scheming space. I need to get out of this place.

(Chorus)
I hope, you won’t, see me, this way.
I hope, you don’t, know what I did today

Left the body of ev-i-dence, buried under the northern fence.
I’m leaving town for today, to plan what I’m going to say.

(Chorus)

I’ll die if you find out (x4)

With the rustling of the leaves, comes over a sort of peace.
I was absent or never there, I’ll pretend as if I care

(Chorus)

I’ll die if you find out (x4)

Messages

(Intro x4 no bass)
(Twice round)

When we’re talking on the phone, the weather, tc, news and home.
Everyday you don’t know what to say. It’s full of breaths and codes, that are,
all our own.

(Chorus)
Sending, sending, messages to me. Sending, sending, messages to me.

When you’re walking on your way, you’re looking back your eyes aflame.
When you’re reading at the table.
You’ve read, that, page, for half an hour!

(Chorus)

(Middle bit)
You’d try to take it back if you could, but what-ever you say, I know what youre saying.
You’d try to take it back if you could, but your body gives you away, ev-ery time.

(Chorus)

When we’re dancing in the club, you’re worse for wear after the pub.
You said you came to see your friends, so tell me why, are you eyes,
just, on me?

(Chorus)

My People

The optomistic lady tryna put her makeup on.
The eyliner’s a challenge, but she’s holdin on.
And the kid in the corner with his headphones on, blaring out.
While everyone is staring out the window.
The old man with aq cap in his hands.
A pregnant child gets on so he stands.
Why does no-one else stand? Their all too busy just staring out,
the window, staring out.

(Chorus)
Set’s my heart, sets my soul, on fi-i-ire
Set’s my heart, sets my soul, on fi-i-ire
Oh, oh, my people. Oh, oh, my people.
There’s all my people.

The optomistic lady’s finally got her makeup on.
She smiles into the mirror now her face is on.
And the kid in the corner’s feeling pretty cool while he’s staring out.
He see’s his mate as he’s staring out, the window.

(Chorus)

Sitting on the train and I know that I’m coming home (x4 fade)

All for you

Don’t know where we’re going, but I’m going with you.
Taking all the weight off my feet. Soon I’ll be going deep.
Hope that I’m doing the right thing,
but you are the only one to make my body sing.

(Chorus:)

I’m losing sight I’m losing sound,

I’m losing mind, I’m losing ground,

all for you

A-waiting the mysteries, jounrney without a course.
Moving slowly into the night. Visions are rising over my sight.
My hands are wringing in my lap, but I’m headed straight off the map.

(Chorus)
(Instrumental verse and chorus violin)
(Instrumental verse guitar fade)

No. 9

It’s been a wild fast ride, taking the trip on cloud nine.
You grip the edge like a magic carpet and surf up through the sky.

(Link)
But I’m afraid with all the rainy days that we’ve flown through,
yeah I’m afraid with all the rainy days that we’ver flown through,
that no excuse is gonna fly.

The roar of the breeze, the softest sensations of cool on your skin.
But it’s time to go home, the nights drawing in. and I’m coming down.

(Link)

(Chorus)
Come in number nine
Come iiiiiin number nine
Your time is up                               Your time is up
Your time is up                               Your time is up
Come in number nine                      Your time is up
Come iiiiiin number nine                  Your time is up
Your time is up                              Your time is up
Your time is up                              Your time is up
Your time is up                              Your time is up

Swaying down like a leaf on the wind,
those worrying nights were keeping me thin.
As the ground rises up, I look straight ahead,
with a nasty grin

(Chorus to end)
