Real World 04:28
Do the things you don't like Let them occupy every minute of your life Nine 'til five, put your pen to the paper And write And sign away Get more things you don't need Take down the photographs, and put up the TV And make sure it's a million-inch screen, So it feels like you're living; Feels like you're here. That's how it is in the real world, boy Welcoming you to the real word, boy That's how it is in the real world, boy. Take away and replace Seems so many years now, have all gone out to waste Leave a taste that is bitter, and lingers round Longer than you bargained for, Longer than you thought That's how it is in the real world, boy Welcoming you to the real word, boy That's how it is in the real world, boy. That's how it is in the real world, boy Welcoming you to the real word, boy Time for despair and regret, my boy, Teach to your children, the same bullshit, my boy.

Get Lost 03:25
I’ve been sleeping through the day And staying up all night Words from friends paint pictures of A different style of life I gotta get lost I gotta get away from this town I gotta catch a plane, yes I gotta find a way out ‘Cos I ain’t too old, but I’m getting older Ain’t too old, but I feel the days pass me by And I’m getting older I’ve been seeing people settle down In to the dream But subdivision living ain’t A vision much to me I gotta get lost I gotta get away from this town I gotta catch a plane, yes I gotta find a way out ‘Cos I ain’t too old, but I’m getting older Ain’t too old, but I feel the days pass me by And I’m getting complacent The more that I take in The more I could just stay at home But I’m feeling the danger That I’m such a stranger To the road I gotta get lost I gotta get lost I gotta get away from this town I gotta catch a plane, yes I gotta find a way out ‘Cos I ain’t too old, but I’m getting older Ain’t too old, but I feel the days pass me by And I’m getting older Yes I’m getting older Yes I’m getting older

Time 03:32
You came baby And I wen't crazy I fell, like the rain From the clouds over you, I was learning how it truely felt to love I was learning how it truely felt to love And I'm sure you felt it too But how things can change, When the weather settles in, When you find out what it truely means to love When you find out what it truely means to love Taking back Things you said When everything between us was good. At least now you know that If you could go back in time then you would, but Winter set in The days were blending And things cooled right down, You had drifted from me, I was learning how it truely felt to love When you told me things had changed, Then you were - Taking back Things you said When everything between us was good. At least now, you know that If you could go back in time Then you'd turn on a dime And you'd walk away fast From the things in your life without me. Could have lived The concreted dream, With good cars And faces shaved clean. Where the boys Would line up at clubs, Just to show what they've got But you've got me and now you just Taking back Things you said When everything between us was good. At least now, you know that If you could go back in time then you would.

I Need Her 03:36
My baby, she's coming home Later in February when summer's gone, I don't mind none She's coming home to make it OK Lately, well I've been feeling down 'cos my baby, she hasn't been around I don't mind none She'll take all of my problems away Now I would not say things I didn't quite mean, But now that she's coming home, I'll just come clean And say I need her, I need her. My baby, she's on her way We'll somehow get paid, maybe get a place And through the winter She'll take all of the coldness away She's taking a flight via Amsterdam Where she'll call me, just to check on how I am And I'll be dandy, 'Cos my baby will be coming my way Now, I try to never get carried away, But now that she's coming home, I'm first to say That I need her, I need her. I need her, I need her, I need her, I need her

If I'm silent, I'm brooding If I'm occupied, I'm distant to you. If I'm tired, you're wired Wondering what's going on It seems the night brings with it some kind of madness When you're reading me wrong And the distance between us is growing When you're reading me wrong And the distance between us is growing When I'm wide awake, you're dreaming Far away and drifting from me. We didn't solve the problem So your dreams are being poisoned It seems the dark Brings with it some kind of sadness When you're reading me wrong And the distance between us is growing When you're reading me wrong And the distance between us is growing So we'll take some time, Room to breathe Hadn't even pondered it yet, But maybe something's wrong 'Cos when we're sleeping we're closer Than when I try to hold you to me. I guess our dreams are alive, They just ain't quite alligning And the dark is here, And brings with it no comfort at all 'Cos you're reading me wrong And the distance between us is growing 'Cos you're reading me wrong And the distance between us is growing Is growing, Is growing.

Dreams 02:59
I think I think too much The notion in itself is proof I think I know too much To naively dodge the truth I know my eyes are wide And my vision seems so clear So why can't I make it clear to you? I can't change your dreams I can't change what you see I can't bend back the metal I'm afraid to see it break, This is love You can switch up seats You can get a different view A fresh perspective on Something that was never new I know I've seen enough To know it's not just me or you, It's between us I can't change your dreams I can't change what you see I can't bend back the metal I'm afraid to see it break, This is love It's not supposed to be A vehicle for apologies Don't tell me that you love me If you don't Consciousness falls slowly, yet heavy We're still on our own And if I could I would, but I can't change your dreams I can't change what you see I can't bend back the metal I'm afraid to see it break, This is love I can't change your dreams I can't change what you see I can't bend back the metal I'm afraid to see it break, This is love

I've been thinking about you a lot And when I think about people I tend to think people know Roughly what I'm thinking about But how could you when you pass me buy And how could you when you don't bat an eyelid When all that's on my mind is, you I've been thinking of all that I've got And of the things that I have There are things I could give you Which others just simply could not But how could I when you pass me buy And how could I when you don't bat an eyelid When all I'd give my life for, is you I've been thinking that this has to stop 'Cos the more that I offer The less that you go for And I'll just be left with a dream That we could be as one But how could we when you pass me buy And how could we when you don't bat an eyelid At me when all I've needed, is you.

Wait for the weekend coming, Then you can do everything that you Saved up for throughout the working week, Get fucked and fall asleep It's a pill to swallow, Love that's hollow, Secret's this though - no one gets it like we do. Take a fresh approach on living, Fake the fame, the friends and fortune, You got the people listening in, all Waiting for something they agree with It's a pill to swallow, Love that's hollow, Secret's this though - no one knows, Everybody's stupid, Except for me and a couple of my friends, Everybody's crazy, but they don't know, Probably think we're crazy too. x3

Move On 02:40
Get my shit together So that we can laugh about the times When we were kids, All fall on my sword over something That I can no longer call my own It's funny how affection Often blooms in retrospection Always one play behind, Well now I'm in the thick of it, And you don't feel I'm relevant And I feel I'm still head over heels, But I've got to move on I've got to move on I've got to move on I've got to move on (Move on from the one you love It's over now It's said and done) Get your things together So that you can make a quick exit And leave me here, Drawing out the process Is an exercise in pointlessness And pain It's funny how they laugh at youth 'Cos we don't know the truth and yet They crave our days (they want it, they want it) Well now we're in the midst of it Years to our name irrelevant My heart is on fire But I've got to move on I've got to move on I've got to move on I've got to move on (Move on from the one you love It's over now It's said and done)

She's OK 03:07
She wrote a list of the good things She reads it every day as she wakes She got a good place to live in A place to call her own She calls her home She's OK, She's OK, She's alright She left some things she won't talk about There'll be time in time to rewind She lives in the world that she dreamed of She don't care for the forecast 'Cos for now She's OK, She's OK, She's alright Don't play it off, I need you to talk to me. Don't shake it off, Can't you see I was good to you? She came to see me on her holiday And things went back to the way they were before She said, she could learn to love again 'Til she saw me and she held me and She cried through the pain She's OK, She's OK, She's alright Don't play it off, I need you to talk to me. Don't shake it off, Can't you see I was good to you? Don't play it off, I need you to talk to me. Don't shake it off, Can't you see I was good to you?
