Living There
03:49
|

For all the times I’ve been livin’ here, so many years that I just can’t recall if I changed your
mind
I said this was the place to be, passing gardens with fallen leaves. Imagine the two of us living there
People always tell that I’m always welcome but only on condition that I leave my worries if
I can, and if I can’t then that’s a different story ‘cause they don’t want to hear all that
Wish that I could possess the same outlook as everybody else
Just like some occupied territory in my mind that I can’t leave behind
People always tell that I’m always welcome but only on condition that I leave my worries if
I can, and if I can’t then that’s a different story ‘cause they don’t want to hear all that
Raise a glass, make a toast to everything they think they’ve done to welcome us
With curfews from 10 to 8, how could we not appreciate the chances we could never take
People always tell that I’m always welcome but only on condition that I leave my worries if
I can, and if I can’t then that’s a different story ‘cause they don’t need to hear all that

Get the Love

Get the love if you need it
Do what you want, they’ll believe it
They line out for you; say you always achieve – an example of everything that’s good, in a quiet little town where everything gets known
They lay it out for us all - all the excuses to get you out of here. It may not be enough this time
Get the love if you need it
Do what you want, they’ll believe it
I’m sorry to hear, all that you’ve been through - it must be a terrible year. You see, he’s just a young man; his future is everything.
I’m sure it’s a misunderstanding anyone can make. It just gets repeated again and again
Get the love if you need it
Do what you want, they’ll believe it
Get the love if you need it
Do what you want, they’ll believe it
Get the love if you want it
You’ve just got to learn to live with it

This Season's Roar
03:45
|
|||
|
So tired of fumbling in the dark
Saying things that were once
Unacceptable to us
But I guess that’s where we are
Honey, let’s keep the lights on tonight
Let’s see each other for a while
It fills me with dread
To hear those words and what they mean
Waiting for the season’s roar
Another bolt across this door
It’s embarrassing to state
We need help before it’s late
When the night’s on top of us
There’s only so much we can say
We had a child, she’s overseas
I’d hate for her to see
What became of you and me
After doing all that’s asked
Waiting for the season’s roar
Another bolt across this door
The promises that filled these walls
Get compounded as it all
Is taken from beneath your feet
Now I’m 68 years old
The past 2 running from the cold
Me and her can’t come clean
About the way we feel unseen
Waiting for the season’s roar
Another bolt across this door
Waiting for the season’s roar
Another bolt across this door

Hummingbird
04:10

I hear the hummingbird and other words easily defined
I see another world where other birds are falling for the crimes
This was another time where the greatest times were pondering all the ‘why?s’
How we were livin’ out, givin’ out, all along the line
It wasn’t meant to be another thing
When everybody knows when you’re lost at sea
But I won’t forget what you did for me
I hear the hummingbird and other words easily defined
I see another world where other birds are falling for the crimes
You’ve got the pressure on while everybody
Sees that you’re floating and nothing’s gonna
Change what you want it to be
No nothing at all

Tired of all the stupid things I’ve heard
They defy the logic of this world
The long and short is I always thought you knew
The simple things are the hardest to get through
I hope everybody tells you that it’s
Something that you shouldn’t dwell upon
I thought I’d found another way to say it
That’s much easier to take
I only seem to love you when you’re gone
Try to come back soon these walls are falling down
Wonder how I ever made it here
Seems to be a comfort for the years
Spent the evening dragging through the past
To find examples of thigs that never last
Please try to remember how I said it
Instead of how I forgot again
Old days left to do the heavy lifting
Makes sure it’s easier to take
I only seem to love you when you’re gone
Try to come back soon these walls are falling down
I only seem to love you when you’re gone
Try to come back soon these walls are falling down
I should have known that you needed to hear it
I only seem to love you when you’re gone
Try to come back soon these walls are falling down
The way that it’s said can’t be over stated
The more I explain the worse that I make it

I don’t recall all the good times that we had
I just heard about it so much I believed it
Sure enough that sun has to go down
Can’t stay out here suspended forever
We seem to be forever punished for some past
That existed in a time before we were born
Torn between self-pity as a cure
I feel it in my bones we’re owed something
You were the first at the start
all there for the taking
The rumour has come down, there’s silver in this this town,
crying out there undiscovered
Easy to find someone who’ll say they always knew
But it was never worth the effort
We indulged, god knows they told us on the hour
The rupture that emerged would survive us
An innocence can no longer be declared
Led us to believe that we knew better
Movers, shakers, prospectors, speculators
All arrived just as expected
They took it all, replaced by timber frames
We watched it all and gave them our blessing
The rumour has come down, there’s silver in this this town,
crying out there undiscovered
Easy to find someone who’ll say they always knew
But it was never worth the effort
It’s now a dream we return to all the time
When there’s no measure or sign of progression
Still unsure why we’re still standing here
Seems easier in these times uncertain
If not now, when? I know the tide will turn
Reveal itself to us
Maybe diamonds or other uncut gems
Will rise up to the top and save us again
You were the first at the start
all there for the taking
The rumour has come down, there’s silver in this this town,
crying out there undiscovered
Easy to find someone who’ll say they always knew
But it was never worth the effort

The Great Regret
04:35
|
|||
|
For all the things that I’ve been told, I wish that it had not been shown
The glimpses of existence of a life I’d never known
I let it break my heart again, prearranged just like back when
I offered no resistance to it all
If we just think about it. Not too hard it’s never easy
Maybe then I’ll say something loud enough to get it started
All the breaks in the stars were the best we’d ever seen
All it takes is a spark to see the places we had been
We tried to change it all without much luck
The same things will follow you home
Did my best to understand what you tried to say to me
Never had the language nor the words
It’s easier to create a great regret on which to place
All of the decisions we never made
If we just think about it. Not too hard it’s never easy
Maybe then I’ll say something loud enough to get it started
All the breaks in the stars were the best we’d ever seen
All it takes is a spark to see the places we had been
We tried to change it all without much luck
The same things will follow you home
