All That You Want
02:40

I’ve been, waiting, for so long
My soul, is achin’, my nerve is worn
She’s got a habit, different to mine
Gets me a fi’ty, at the same time
And you say (all that you want and all in good time)
When I call (all that you want and all in good time)
Won’t forget (all that you want and all in good time)
What I paid for
I’ve been, walking, for so long
My feet are achin’, my shoes are worn
Left onto Oxford, right onto Riley Street
Look out pigeons get out from under my feet
And you say (all that you want and all in good time)
When I call (all that you want and all in good time)
Won’t forget (all that you want and all in good time)
What I paid for
Mid She’s got a habit, different to mine
Gets me a fi’ty, at the same time
Ch And you say (all that you want and all in good time)
When I call (all that you want and all in good time)
Won’t forget (all that you want and all in good time)
What I paid for

The Stand In
03:05
|

Once bit
If the hats fit
A fit’s a fit so I’ll wear it
Got the call
A walk on role
A bit part without lines
I am
Here I stand
Some kind of stand in, am I?
All told
Two months ago
And as the time crawls by
Things change
And rearrange
The more they stay the same
I am
Here I stand
Some kind of stand in, am I?
What’s the (difference)
Anyone (tell me what)
For the sake (of the real)
Can you tell the fake, tell me, tell me that it’s just as good
I am
Here I stand
Some kind of stand in
I am
Here I stand
Some kind of stand in, am I?

Stars A Broken
03:28
|

Don’t get up (don’t get up)
I wanna take you on a trip
Through my mind (a broken mind)
Where things are less hip
Three deities they sit on a stoop as they sip
From a paper cup (don’t get up)
Don’t trouble yourself if you’re gonna let the stars define
Celebrating one
More spin around the sun
Don’t know why
Leave it to your faits accompli
Don’t get up (don’t get up)
I wanna take you on a trip
Through my mind (a broken mind)
Where things are less hip
Three deities they sit on a stoop as they sip
From a paper cup (don’t get up)
Just bet it all on black and close your eyes
Mid Islamic, agnostic, catholic, masonic
You’ve got a bucolic scene in your mind
You’ve got a bucolic scene in your mind
You’ve got a bucolic scene in your mind
Celebrating one
More spin around the sun
Don’t know why
Leave it to your faits accompli
Celebrating one
Stars a' broken, broken

When The World Was Wide
03:09
|
|||
I don’t want to piss on all you know
But if memory serves of this I’m sure
I want to kiss you on the mouth
It’s an estimation of truth or thereabouts
When I’m not in company, not among all the din
A tangle of incidents speak to me
Remember when the world was wide
Everything was worth knowing
C’mon take a look inside
Everything was worth knowing
That’s a pretty one I heard you say
From the kitchen and down the hallway
To the room where I wrote this song
And we spent much of our days but that was long
Ago and maybe part of me forgets how the story begins
Why don’t you look on in to see
Remember when the world was wide
Everything was worth knowing
C’mon take a look inside
Everything was worth knowing
I don’t want to piss on all you know
But if memory serves of this I’m sure
I want to kiss you on the mouth
It’s a statement of fact no doubt
Hell I can place you at the scene it’s a point I can pin
You were leaning on in to me

Sunlight and Sepia Tone
03:57
|
|||
We lived on Bourke Street
Corner of Wisdom Lane
I see you standing there
Sunlight and sepia tone
It seems like half a lifetime
But not so long
When I think of that place
I see the light and smell the air
The sun was always streaming
Through that window
And in the morning light
Far from sober light of morn
And if somehow we could have our time again
All that time you spent with those you loathe
I see you standing there
Sunlight and sepia tone
It seems like half a lifetime
But not so long
When I think of that place
I see the light and smell the air
The sun was always streaming
Through that window

Tough Company

Tough company
Oh, you are
All you lazy songs
Fillin’ up my house and car
Climbing up the walls
One gets up and says
What you gonna do, for me?
I said, I got plans for you, you see
Get this song
outta my head
I’m trying, trying
In the shadow
of my doubt
There it is
Shout it out
This was a song
Always sitting there
Drinking all my beer
Eating all my bread
Tough company
Now that he’s out of the way
The others gather round
Who’s turn is it today?
Roll another number as I think of something else that I might do
Besides drinking this warm beer
It’s a nonsense to believe
We’re making any progress here
Patching old songs
Like catching birds’ tears

If I Don't Get Back
02:56
|
|||
Don’t dare check the time, lying here awake
Like a man with a broken leg lying in a ditch cursing his fate
Don’t matter what time it is, just know it’s late
If I don’t get back, if I don’t get back
Listen to the sounds, of the dark
The hum of a passing car and a dog’s bark
You can hear it in the cool night air, so clear and stark
If I don’t get back, if I don’t get back
At this crushing hour, of no return
Try to think of far off things only it’s sleep for which I yearn
Another storm rolls through my head and I toss and turn
If I don’t get back, if I don’t get back

Some Kind of Restless
02:58
|
|||
I was only young and I was doing
Nothing any good
Places we grew up and we outgrew them
It was understood
Don’t know where I’m going
Don’t know what I’m looking for
Some kind of restless
State I’m in
You were crazy, I was desperate
That’s when things were good
I was drunk, I turned up to your party
Hotel Hollywood
Don’t know where I’m going
Don’t know what I’m looking for
Some kind of restless
State I’m in
Don’t know where I’m going
Don’t know what I’m looking for
Feels like I’m losing
But who’s keeping score
Yeah I been ripped off
But I can cut a loss
Some kind of restless
State I’m in
Some kind of restless
State I’m in

Dusty Morning
03:15
|
|||
See the sunlight
On my window
Band of sunlight
Oh so narrow
Fall down softly
Like a feather
Duty sunlight
Broken weather
Venture outside
Dare not wake her
Brave the daylight
It’s now or never

All that I recall
Of that weary afternoon, we stood
And surveyed the scene
On the porch
On that heavy afternoon, we could
Not shake ourselves free
And all of his dreams
Became could have beens, you know they could
Of all the ends to all of your stories
This is the one that I, did not foresee
Of all the ends to stories
Of all the ends to stories
This is the least satisfying to me
As the ashes rained
Down on us that afternoon, we stood
And watched the city seethe
On that hilltop
On that heavy afternoon, we could
Not shake ourselves free
All your scribblings away
Labour in vain, or so it seems
Of all the ends to your story
This is the one that I, did not foresee
Of all the ends to stories
Of all the ends to stories
This is the least satisfying to me
Out Of all the ends to stories
