Track Name: No Water But The Sea
Seduced by the sun, tempted by heat,
beautiful bodies asleep on the beach,
And it’s all the same, wherever you go,
only the colors change,
And 10 days feels, just like 10 years,
with no old way of living,
It was an out of date plan, cursed by bad luck,
all my dreams went down the river

I had to leave, so I could come back to stay,
The world had changed and I didn’t know it
Tear life apart, just to build it again,
I had changed and I didn’t know it
And there was no water but the sea

I forgot, that I belong alone,
in this land where my family lies,
Finally accepting, that there’s sailing no more,
I ran away from the noise,
To starlit darkness, heading home,
I cross the bridge and it starts to rain,
Live with the good memories, live with the bad,
I won’t throw myself off the edge again

I had to leave, so I could come back to stay,
The world had changed and I didn’t know it
Tear life apart, just to build it again,
I had changed and I didn’t know it
And there was no water but the sea
Track Name: Only Get By
How long have I been sitting here,
Watching it rain on this town
Wondering what would have happened
If a different deal had gone down
Sometimes dreams are all that’s left,
Glimpses of what used to be
And I know that I did the right thing,
Building a wall around me

But as the days drift and die,
I still wonder why,
I only get by


Enough about me, lets talk about you,
You’ve made your own bed now climb in,
The day is coming when things will turn round,
The truth will come out, kin is kin,
I hope that I will be generous,
When the boot’s on the other foot,
But it may not be in my power
If the damage you’ve done’s killed the root

Will you wonder why?
As the days drift and die,
You only get by


You think I am a loser,
A joke nobody has told
But no-one’s laughing at me baby,
They’re all crying for you,
Sometimes dreams are all that’s left,
Glimpses of what used to be
Will you think that you did the right thing?
When you finally see

That you only get by,
As the days drift and die,
You only get by
You only get by
Track Name: Hang On To A Dream
What can I say she’s walking away
With all we saw
What can I do still loving her so
It’s all a dream
How can we hang on to a dream
How can it really be the way it seems

What can I do she’s still saying it’s through
Without words
What’ll I find I still can’t see why
She says what she does
How can we hang on to a dream
How can it really be the way it seems

What can I say she’s walking away
It’s all a dream
Track Name: O.U.T. Out
Next time round I could be a winner
Had my chances like all of us sinners, yeah
Short term gains just aren’t worth the candle
Cancel the bitch if it’s too tough to handle it, now

Get up, get out, move on, buy a ticket,
Walk if you have to, it’s better than sticking it out,
Gotta get out
Yeah out

You can’t slam a door if it isn’t open,
Can’t spill the milk if you haven’t bought any, no,
There ain’t no smoke without any matches,
You’ll have to run fast if you’re going to catch me now

Get up, get out, move on, buy a ticket,
I’ll walk if I have to, it’s better than sticking it out,
Gotta get out
Yeah out

Your god, my god, who gives a goddam
You can’t prove it anymore than I can now
Left hand, right hand, black, white or indigo
The one doesn’t know what the others doing anyhow

Get up, get out, move on, buy a ticket,
Walk if you have to, it’s better than sticking it out,
Gotta get out
Yeah out, if you’re in doubt
