Addicted
03:30

Call me crazy but I think I may be
Addicted to you and I don’t wanna pull through
Even though you hurt me I know nobody’s perfect
But I can’t get enough of your kind of love
And I don’t wanna call for help
‘Cause I need you and no one else
You’re the rain that made the flood
Wouldn’t shelter if I could
You’re every breath in my lungs
You’re the poison in my blood
I’m under the influence, you’re under my skin
I know I should fight it but I’m caving in
They say you’re no good for me but what can I do?
I’m head over heels, I’m addicted to you
People tell me that I’ll wind up lonely
If I don’t walk away but I’m here to stay
Because it’s my decision but they won’t listen
If they only knew what I do
They would never call for help
‘Cause I need you and no one else
You’re the only thing I crave
Ain’t no substitute for pain
You’re running round in every vein
And I’m the only one to blame
I’m under the influence, you’re under my skin
I know I should fight it but I’m caving in
They say you’re no good for me but what can I do?
I’m head over heels, I’m addicted to you
Maybe in the future I’ll be stone cold sober
My vision would be clearer but I know I’ll still see
You right next to me
I’m under the influence, you’re under my skin
I know I should fight it but I’m caving in
They say you’re no good for me but what can I do?
I’m head over heels, I’m addicted to you
I’m under the influence, you’re under my skin
I know I should fight it but I’m caving in
They say you’re no good for me but what can I do?
I’m head over heels, I’m addicted to you

Bad Advice
03:25
|
|||
I met a man at the bar who’s hidden all his life
The multi-coloured flag he flew before he found a wife
Now he’s daring to be brave since he severed ball from chain
And be the man his father fears ‘cause he was just the same
There’s a woman on the phone desperate to be heard
But the protest in her mother’s tone means she can’t get in a word
She’s trying to convince her she’ll live to regret
Not listening to her body clock, as if she could forget
Maybe you should leave her alone
You know all he wants in your pride
Don’t tell them what to do if you’re not in their shoes
‘Cause that’s bad advice
Imperious people just care less about the room
Living this vicarious life through another view
They say “it’s ‘cause we care and it’s just for your own good”
But it’s funny how we’ve figured out we’re living like we should
Maybe you should leave her alone
You know all he wants in your pride
Don’t tell them what to do if you’re not in their shoes
‘Cause that’s bad advice
Maybe you should leave her alone
You know all he wants is your pride
Maybe you should leave her alone
Maybe you should leave her alone
You know all he wants in your pride
Don’t tell them what to do if you’re not in their shoes
‘Cause that’s bad advice
Maybe you should leave her alone
You know all he wants in your pride
Don’t tell them what to do if you’re not in their shoes
‘Cause that’s bad advice

Step By Step
03:48
|
|||
We’re so slo-mo we might as well be standing still
Don’t bother me ‘cause I got time to kill
I’ll give you the space you need and then some more to spare
So put your hand in my hand ‘cause I ain’t going anywhere
Step by step I bet you that it won’t be too long till you find your feet
Brick by brick you’re building up to everything that you could be
I know the road is rough and winding and you got stones in your shoes
But step by step you’re walking back to where I met you
Your poor heart took a mighty heavy blow
How it kept beating, I guess I’ll never know
Must be that strong constitution that won’t give up the fight
Even in your darkest hour you’re still the one guiding the light
Step by step I bet you that it won’t be too long till you find your feet
Brick by brick you’re building up to everything that you could be
I know the road is rough and winding and you got stones in your shoes
But step by step you’re walking back to where I met you
Step by step I bet you that it won’t be too long till you find your feet
Brick by brick you’re building up to everything that you could be
I know the road is rough and winding and you got stones in your shoes
But step by step you’re walking back to me
And I’ll be waiting
Tell me what you need
Step by step you’re coming back to where I met you

Let Me Let Go
03:52
|
|||
The closer I get to the light at the end of the tunnel
The more I can see what hid behind me all the while
Illuminate the fear and the pain now it’s mellowed
‘Cause time has a way of healing today’s tomorrow’s
I wish that I could surrender
But who would I be if I did?
I just need one moment of courage
There’s only me left to forgive
So let me let go
Let me let go
‘Cause I’ll never know
Until I give up control
So let me let go
To hold on to hope at the end of the rope is so boring
There must be a way to untangle the day without yawning
But this morning felt so unfamiliar
Must have rolled out the right side of bed
‘Cause I didn’t notice the daemons
Who tried to raise hell in my head
So let me let go
Let me let go
‘Cause I’ll never know
Until I give up control
So let me let go
Let me let go
‘Cause I’ll never know
Until I give up control
So let me let go
Let me let go
‘Cause I’ll never know
Until I give up control
So let me let

Time We Said Goodbye
03:20
|
|||
It’s time we said goodbye
We tried to make it right
But it’s time we said goodbye
And leave this place behind
You were just what I needed
Just when I needed it
You know I came alive when you came along
Was it luck? Was it reason?
I was stuck, needed freedom
You know you gave me what made me who I was
It’s time we said goodbye
We tried to make it right
But it’s time we said goodbye
And leave this place behind
Didn’t stop, we were living
We were high on believing
But it was never forever for me and you
This is tough, it’s not easy
But I’m gone, yeah I’m leaving
Memories making it hard for me to go
It’s time we said goodbye
We tried to make it right
But it’s time we said goodbye
And leave this place behind
It’s time
We tried
It’s time
We said goodbye
You can cry because it’s over
But smile for what it was
You know it’s time
Time we said goodbye

Ain't No Mardi Gras
02:47
|
|||
You offered me your weight in gold
That ain’t no mardi gras
Enough that I could share the load
But that won’t get me far
I don’t mean to be ungrateful
But it’s not enough for me
‘Cause I’m trying to live each moment
And I think that’s what I need
You promised me an easy life
(Aint no mardi gras)
But I must admit I can’t deny
(You’ve wondered from afar)
What it must be like
To live a life with money left to burn
But I know myself and I know I love
The things I’ve had to earn
Ain’t no mardi gras
(Ain’t no mardi gras)
Ain’t no mardi gras
(Ain’t no mardi gras)
Hold on to who you are
Only you can hear your heart
You’re the perfect gentleman
(Ain’t no mardi gras)
Only a fool would decline your hand
(But you know who you are)
But I’m wary of the flawless
From a high-rise point of view
‘Cause we’re all a little crazy
And baby that’s the truth
Ain’t no mardi gras
(Ain’t no mardi gras)
Ain’t no mardi gras
(Ain’t no mardi gras)
Hold on to who you are
Only you can hear
You wanna buy a family home
(Aint no mardi gras)
Somewhere where we’ll be all alone
(Just say au revoir)
But a bird sure gets lonely
When it only hears one voice
So we gotta get together
And join the joyful noise
Now that’s my mardi gras
(That’s my mardi gras)
That’s my mardi gras
(That’s my mardi gras)
Now the parade can start
‘Cause I’m almost there
Following my heart
Ain’t no mardi gras
(Ain’t no mardi gras)
Ain’t no mardi gras
(Ain’t no mardi gras)
Hold on to who you are
Only you can hear your heart

Trying
03:39

Lately I’ve been in a battle with my body
It’s not doing what I want it to do
Lately I’m getting the feeling that nobody
Understands what I’m going through
People think
What they say
Is empathy
But fail to notice
That pity leaves bruises
What gives you the right
Right to decide
My stage of life?
It’s none of your business
I don’t have the choice you have
Do you ever think about that?
The truth is
It’s for no lack of trying, trying trying
Trying, trying trying
Everyday is getting harder to remember
Who I was before I knew what I know
Yeah the plans I had ain’t easy to surrender
But freedom lies in letting them go
When time complains
Minds can change
And that’s ok
The less that you listen
The more that you’re missing
What gives you the right
Right to decide
My stage of life?
It’s none of your business
I don’t have the choice you have
Do you ever think about that?
The truth is
It’s for no lack of trying, trying trying
Trying, trying trying
Trying, trying, trying
Trying, trying, trying
Just ‘cause you got opinions
Don’t mean we need to hear them
What gives you the right
Right to decide
My stage of life?
I don’t have the choice you have
Do you ever think about that?
What gives you the right
Right to decide
My stage of life?
It’s none of your business
I don’t have the choice you have
Do you ever think about that?
The truth is
It’s for no lack of trying, trying trying
Trying, trying trying
Everyone’s trying, trying, trying
And believe me I’m trying
Now you know when you see me you know I’m trying
Now you know when you see me you know I’m trying

Gonna pick up Frank about 8pm
‘Cause we’re heading to the NBT
Telling stories in the car of the double neck guitar
That he ordered back in ‘63
Yeah the place is packed, gotta make me a path
Through the bodies just to get to the stage
There’s a young man with The Old Boy
And he can play it pretty good for his age
Saturday night at the NBT
This rhythm and blues is good for me
I’ll have a pint with head, I want nothing instead
‘Cause I’m here to have a Northern time
Wednesday play tomorrow and I’ll be full of sorrow
So I’m having me some fun tonight
He’s just started up playing Louisiana
And he’s putting on a hell of a show
Drinking barley wine, he’ll have a hell of a time
‘Till the landlord says it’s time to go
Saturday night at the NBT
This beer and blues is good for me
Rattle that pan and give what you can
To the boys who are playing it loud
‘Cause playing the blues s’not something you choose
It’s a calling that you can’t turn down
Go Go Frankie on the mystery train
Now you’re heading for your promised land
We’re gonna keep on rocking, you won’t be forgotten
‘Cause this city is your biggest fan
Saturday night at the NBT
This rhythm and blues is good for me
Saturday night at the NBT
This beer and blues is good for me

Been A Long Time
03:06
|
|||
It’s been a long time but it’s about time
That I start doing right for myself
Been such a long time but it’s about time
That I finally find a way to break the spell
I can’t blame anyone anymore for the shape I’m in
And I can’t go on making excuses for never believing
I’ll put things right if you can hold on
I know that life won’t wait for no one
But baby please won’t you wait for me?
It’s been a long time but it’s about time
That I start doing right for myself
I don’t wanna live this way anymore with a restless mind
I quit walking through open doors for fear of what I’d find
But I’m breaking the mould, I’m not second guessing
Now that I know just what I’ve been missing
So baby please, won’t you wait for me?
It’s been a long time but it’s about time
That I start doing right
I start doing right
That I start doing right for myself

Frequency
03:54
|
|||
I’m wide awake
All I can hear is the tick tock
Of the grandfather clock
While you’re flicking through dreams
Like cable TV
Trying to find me
So we can be back together
Doesn’t matter whether
It feels like forever
I still hear you call my name
Even from miles away
‘Cause we’ve got a frequency
You’re tuning in to me
And if you’re listening carefully
You’ll hear my reply
Riding a wave in the sky
Times I recall
Like flickering bulbs on the street lamps
The fun that we had
Riding old carousels
Just for the hell of it
Round and round
We’ll keep spinning forever
So it doesn’t matter
If we’re not together
‘Cause I got these memories
So I’m in good company
‘Cause we’ve got a frequency
You’re tuning in to me
And if you’re listening carefully
You’ll hear my reply
Riding a wave in the sky
You’re tuning in to me
And if you’re listening carefully
You’ll hear my reply
Riding a wave in the sky
