1 : Four Minute Rebellion
Three more inches of hair
Is a whole fucking world
Of rebellion
Happy happy, I will forget
So many things which are bad
Which leaves me only with good thoughts
Why are you staring at me?
You're breaking my nose from twenty-five feet
Are you really that small?
Talking to you now
Is the easiest thing
In all of fucking hell
Slowly turning the key
Am I going or blowing out?
Why are you staring at me?
You're breaking my nose from twenty-five feet
Are you really that small?
Honesty is a beautiful lie
People say what they will to get by
All the girls sing-along to that song
Like a four minute rebellion
2 : Let Your Shoulder Fall
I'm reaching deep within myself
I'm trying to tell you what I know
I even kept the photograph
Of when I nearly let you go
You separate your love for me
From every single one you had
Away with all that's gone before
Let your shoulder fall
I'm coming for your love today
It's lucky that you came this way
I'm loving how I think about you now
For many years it's been so slow
And only now we start to know
Just what it is to shoot out of our minds
I'm shaking like a newborn tree
My idol left without a trace
I never thought you'd understand
You licked the tears right off my face
I couldn't trust the telephone
It doesn't say the lies you mean
Away with all that's gone before
Let your shoulder fall
I'm coming for your love today
It's lucky that you came this way
I'm loving how I think about you now
For many years it's been so slow
And only now we start to know
Just what it is to shoot out of our minds
Waves of sadness came
On the beach today
Hold on now it won't be long
'Till we're on our way
I'm home for national holidays
Let's hook up in a coffee bar
Won't you bring your friend who's lost in space
Don't you worry if it's not your car
I'm joking, and I think you know
I love it when you're playing dumb
Away with all that's gone before
Let your shoulder fall
I'm coming for your love today
It's lucky that you came this way
I'm loving how I think about you now
For many years it's been so slow
And only now we start to know
Just what it is to shoot out of our minds
3 : You're Always Going Too Soon
It's been a long time since we hung around together in the street
And I miss those days, when the world would wait for us
With our crowd of friends, we'd sit along the pavement near your house
'Till the sun came down and we brought the stars out
When I heard it for the first time I could only stand and cry
You were just a boy, we were all so innocent
Oh we never thought this kind of thing would happen in our lives
But it broke our hearts and we won't forget, no
All this time has fallen through me since you've been gone
And I wonder where you are,
Cos you've never let me know
Oh no no�
You're always going too soon
I'm always left on my own
It's OK, I understand, sometimes life can hold you down
I can see your face as clearly now today, as I could then
And it doesn't fade, but the times have changed so much
I would like to tell you all about the things that we have done
And we're doing fine, but I think you know that
All this time has fallen through me since you've been gone
And I wonder where you are,
Cos you've never let me know
Oh no no�
You're always going too soon
I'm always left on my own
It's OK, I understand, sometimes life can hold you down
4 : Only Meant to Say
Everything could die tomorrow
Would you still say what you said?
I'm cold and don't understand how
Sometimes things I say cut deep
I only meant to say the words that you needed
Oh and I only seem to dig a little further down
Years from now I will return to
Say the things I never could
Maybe you will not remember
Maybe you will not forget
I only meant to say the words that you needed
Oh and I only seem to dig a little further down
I'm on a river nowhere
I'm on a river nowhere, now
I only meant to say the words that you needed
Oh and I only seem to dig a little further down
5 : Meteorology
Storm dies, younger brother calls for his mother
Son, she said, follow me instead
Cloud rains tears, now the storm has cleared
Blown through time, let her mother shine
Still sees his father over the river
He pours a little his way
Shows him there's a way
Sea's calm now, but I don't know how
To bring in the tide and call the storm inside
Still sees his father over the river
He pours a little his way
Shows him there's a way
Won't be here very long
I know where I should be now
Rise and fall, and we will still be all
That we held so dear
When the storm was here
Still sees his father over the river
He pours a little his way
Shows him there's a way
Won't be here very long
I know where I should be now
Won't be here very long
I know where I should be now
6 : Call My Name Out
I wanna be in your life, you turn me on
With your crooked smile
Whenever I look at you, I feel as though
It's all coming right
Love isn't the only thing that's on your mind
With that crooked smile
Call my name out
Call my name out
She's never available, she'll tell you why
With her crooked smile
I know all about the past she wants to hide
But I couldn't care
Pain, love on a windowsill
Collected up in her crooked smile
Call my name out
Call my name out
Hey na na na na na, na hey na na, yey hey yeah
Hey na na na na na, na hey na na, yey hey yeah
Call my name out
Call my name out
I wanna be in your life, you turn me on
Whenever I look at you, I feel as though
It's all coming right
Hey na na na na na, na hey na na
7 : Molasses (Instrumental)
8 : Please Don't Send Me Away </b>
Tell me now what have you done
To justify your life, my son?
Did you help your brothers, when they were down?
And when the bullets flew, did you stick around?
I had no words, I never spoke
If I had said one thing, you wouldn't know
I did no harm, I hurt no-one,
Why you ask me now, my chance has gone?
Please don't send me away
I want to come in
If you give me today
I will try again
Child, I gave you all the breaks,
But all you did was take and take
You say you did no harm, but you did no good,
And never sought redemption
I think you should
I realise my selfish love
Has always got me through, by just enough
I never thought this day would come
When the demons of my soul would be undone
Please don't send me away
I want to come in
If you give me today
I will try again
Look up and see the angels
The gates have opened up for you
I hope your mind is peaceful
And love is everything you do
9 : Remember this Feeling
Remember this feeling
It will come again
But until it does
Remember this feeling
When everything makes sense
Everything makes sense
I woke up this evening
From the night before
Feeling really ill
My last Seratonin
Must have deserted me while I was sleeping
I put a dot next to everything that makes any sense
And join the dots, and join the dots
I said
I put a dot next to everything that makes any
sense
And join the dots, and join the dots
Remember this feeling
It will come again
But until it does
Remember this feeling
When everything makes sense
Everything makes sense
And then I remember
All the things I did
And it makes me smile
I saw so much beauty
And kissed her red wine lips
It made my Tuesday
I put a dot next to everything that makes any sense
And join the dots, and join the dots
I said
I put a dot next to everything that makes any
sense
And join the dots, and join the dots
Remember this feeling
10 : Become Yourself
Oh he could be different from the rest
If only he believed the Voice
That speaks inside him,
Telling him that beauty hides beneath his skin
But nasty people who don't have the Voice
Will try to slow him down
They might beat him sometimes,
But his words will all rhyme
Become yourself my boy,
You know you're halfway there
It's not so easy living with your soul laid
bare
But you will find out
That a little courage pays off
Become yourself my boy and then you get somewhere
When he was a boy he could see something
Written out across the sky
Though he was young he recognised his name
Among the other words
And later realised 'Become Yourself'
Was what the message said
Though he still was not sure,
So he waited some more
Become yourself my boy,
You know you're halfway there
It's not so easy living with your soul laid
bare
But you will find out
That a little courage pays off
Become yourself my boy and then you get somewhere
It would be so shameful
If he strolled through life without taking a
chance
He should stop living in the shadows
And begin to use his head
'Cos no-one else today can do the things
That he was born to do
He should trust in the Voice,
It's not even a choice
Become yourself my boy,
You know you're halfway there
It's not so easy living with your soul laid
bare
But you will find out
That a little courage pays off
Become yourself my boy and then you get somewhere
If you're in there, you must come out
I have no time left for any doubt
They're chasing me, they want you too
You'd be much safer if I was with you
So I will reach the clearing, don't you
worry
The end is nearing, in a hurry
I fall asleep and meet you there
And bring you into a strange affair
You live and breathe in other minds
And sell my future a thousand times
So I will reach the clearing, don't you
worry
The end is nearing, in a hurry (ooh yeah)
I don't know the place that you have come here
from
It's a mystery to me and I don't belong
In a piece of sunshine or a line of rain
Having said all that, I will be here again
I've got you now, you're on my plane
A heavy burden has left my brain
I was relieved that car went by
They never caught me and you know why
Now I have reached the clearing, don't you
worry
The end is nearing, in a hurry (ooh yeah)
I don't know the place that you have come here
from
It's a mystery to me and I don't belong
In a piece of sunshine or a line of rain
Having said all that, I will be here again
I don't know, I don't know
12 : A World Away
Tell me when you're coming
So I can come too
The blood is rushing to my head
Caused by you
The congregation left the church
They won't be going very far today
Want you to be lying easy
Getting a world away
Why you started running?
You're glowing so fine
The 'Happy and You Know It' look
Is in decline
You should be listening to your Mum
She only wants the best for everyone
Your ocean eyes are glazing over
I think that means you won
'And I like you,' I hear you say
Not surprising for the time of day
Very welcome, all the same
Any more of this chemical love, I'll forget
my name
Tell me when you're coming
So I can come too
The blood is rushing to my head
Caused by you
The congregation left the church
It must be for the second time today
Need you to be lying easy
'Cos I'm a world away
