Track Name: 1998
Two scenes by Thomas Hardy,
Two days when gales ripped
The trees over the graveyards,
Left all pretenses stripped

Two days that marked the nadir,
A year that wiped away
All traces of my past life,
My adolescent days

And yet the future is by my side
Standing tall and brave
It was only once around the sun
1998

Whenever I feel that my time,
Is running out too fast
I wander through those sad days,
Draw comfort from the past

When the future was by my side
Standing tall and brave
It was only once around the sun
1998
Track Name: Love Fades Away
Now we’re not even lovers, I can’t be angry anymore
Not gonna hide under the covers or sit behind no bolted door

If you find you love to argue but you also hate to lose
There’s only one thing that you can do, bite the bullet and refuse

But love fades away
A little every day
Black turns to grey
And night becomes day

I know you used to love me, it was written on your back
But as making love is easy, breaking up can make you crack

Cos love fades away
A little every day
Black turns to grey
And work becomes play, believe me
Track Name: Forever
Still want to travel
With no thought of arrival
No destination
No reason to cease

I’ll wander the oceans
Of time left before me
Forever moving
Forever at peace
Track Name: Plymouth Road
Driving down a road,
I saw signs to my past
A weight of memories tumbled down
I felt just like a bird,
that can never land
Full of hidden shallowness

If I become the person
I said I’d never be
There’ll be nothing left that’s right,
in this life for me
On the Plymouth road

Driving down a road,
I saw signs to my past
A weight of memories tumbled down
I’m not trying to wave,
I’m not trying to drown
I’m just trying to come around

If I become the person
I said I’d never be
There’ll be nothing left that’s right,
in this life for me
On the Plymouth road
Track Name: One Last Time
Little people living pointless lives
are preconditioned to love,
Any distant god any royal we,
any star from above
But you’re no better than I am,
I’m no different to you
All you do is stand and wave
as the party goes through
One last time

And what do they deserve,
for the things that are done in their name
As the curtains close on their dinosaur world,
do they feel any shame
New rules for a new world,
the end of an era awaits
For they also serve who do much more
than only stand and wave
One last time
Track Name: Winter
Today is the last day of summer
Come on sun come and get me one more time
Tomorrow I’ll take my boots out walking in the rain
To an empty table in an empty bar room

To look for a better time coming is a good way to be
When surviving is something to do
If there’s no place left to run to, then you can be free
But part of me is always waiting for you

Frosty early morning
Diesel fumes hang in the air
Smoke rising straight into a starlit sky
Steamy windows, log fire bright

To look for a better time coming is a good way to be
When surviving is something to do
If there’s no place left to run to, then you can be free
But part of me is always waiting
Track Name: Small Town Boys
Local yokels, tiny minds,
Dragging me out of my dreams
Mr and Mrs Beefcake Cowboy
Out for a Saturday night

Plastic toys for little boys
Three squares and somewhere to sleep
Some jazz groceries and some late night dipping
But don’t you dare to dive too deep

Small town boys you haven’t learned a thing
Thank god my competitive streak
Is wider than yours you small town boys
You’re prisoners in paradise

You can’t even see the cage for the bars
You’re prisoners in paradise
Track Name: Time To Remember
In every life there’s a time to remember
A time to let the past go by
A time to rip like the end of December
A time to live while you wait to die

If everyone we ever hurt got better
If everyone we ever lost got found
If everything we ever broke got mended
If every train was homeward bound

Took so long proving, things to be true
That from the beginning, I already knew

There are times when I know what I’m doing
And then there are times when I truly don’t
Sometimes I know the answer
before I know the question
Sometimes I try and then I won’t

In every life there’s a time to remember
A time to let the past go by
A time to rip like the end of December
A time to live while you wait to die
Track Name: Don't Be Afraid
Every day the wind blows
Every day the rain falls,
But a change in the weather,
means nothing at all
Don’t be afraid of growing
it’s all in the scheme
Don’t be afraid

Next time I’ll remember,
this days mistakes
No nothing comes free here,
except the heartaches
Don’t be afraid of crying,
it’s not as black as it seems
Don’t be afraid

Life’s too short to waste your time
Worrying about what might be
Tomorrow will be a better day
If you face it fearlessly
Don’t be afraid of laughing
it’s just swimming downstream
Don’t be afraid

Like riders change horses,
Like snakes shed their skin
As one chapters ending
another begins
Don’t be afraid of crying,
it’s not as black as it seems
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid of dying,
it’s only a dream
Don’t be afraid
Track Name: A Perfect Life
I can’t tell you, what’s right or wrong
Can only tell you that you’ve got to be strong
Relationships with other souls
Are less important than the one with yourself

If you pretend, that there’s a cop
Round every corner you will never stop
A perfect life will live itself
The greener grass always beckons you back home

A perfect life, you will find, will always live itself
A perfect life will live itself, if you give it time

If you pretend, that there’s a cop
Round every corner you will never stop
A perfect life will live itself
The greener grass always beckons you back home
