Remember Your Name
03:13

One more drink and I think that I’ll tell you the truth,
It was just another stupid phase in my youth.
It’s so much easier being sensible,
So simple when you’ve cut yourself loose.
Swore to myself that I wouldn’t get in so deep,
‘Cause it never seems to get you anywhere.
But saying I like you would be understated,
Should tell myself I don’t care.
Oh I’ll try to remember your name,
I’ll try to remember your name.
Try to remember what you’re saying, you’ll see,
I’ll pretend it’s all the same to me.
It’s all the same to me.
One more lie and I’ll try to make myself believe it,
And if I was naïve, then I will concede it.
But I won’t get too involved again,
A bit of carelessness was just what I needed.
The songs I listen to must be too romantic,
‘Cause I keep getting make-up adverts on my screen.
By now I’ve got two or three good things going,
But I’m still so in-between.
(Chorus)
Maybe some don’t know anything else,
Maybe I should stop kidding myself,
Won’t waste a second saying there’s no one above you
‘Cause when you come up close, I’ll say I…
…really shouldn’t.
(Chorus)

Go On, Get Up

He was kicked out of school
When he was just fifteen,
Told himself it was all a bore.
Then he found a job and lost that too,
Never got the break he was hoping for.
They said time and again
He didn’t have the skills,
Applications weren’t good enough.
Now he’s low on cash,
Down on his luck.
Oh, the hard life can be so tough.
Had things turned out different
Who knows how it might have been
But that’s no consolation.
If it’s all that he’s ever seen.
He said: I don’t want, I don’t want to give up,
I’ve got to go on, go on and get up.
I don’t want, I don’t want to give up,
I’ve got to make it, make my own luck.
She was left with the kids,
Her husband never looked back,
And she had to cope on her own.
The rent to pay and three mouths to feed,
Broken heart and broken home.
There was no one to talk to,
No one would listen,
But she had to make it right.
Why does life have to be so hard sometimes?
Why does it have to be a fight?
Whatever you throw at me, she said,
I’ll get over again.
It doesn’t matter how often you fall,
As long as you get up again.
(Chorus)
I don’t want, I don’t want to give up,
Don’t let them ever get you down.
I don’t want, I don’t want to give up,
You’ve got to get up again.
(Chorus)

Don't Get Me Started
03:23
|
|||
|
Don’t, don’t get me, don’t get me started.
Don’t, don’t get me, don’t get me started, baby.
Wow...
You’re that kind of girl
That makes the street look like a catwalk,
And you always get what you want
With that kind of sweet talk.
No one can resist you
And you really know it.
The way you walk, baby,
You really show it.
You’re so pretty,
You’re so cool,
Think you’re something better, baby,
But I’m still your fool.
You’ve got the groove,
You’ve got the moves.
I’m tellin’ you, baby,
Don’t get me started.
(Chorus)
You’re a winner, self-confident
You’ve got pretty features too.
You’re wild, you’re a thriller,
You look like a dream come true.
You’re a ten out of ten,
You’re state of the art,
And baby, don’t take this the wrong way
(From a git like me),
You’re not just a little naive
You’re smart in just one way.
You’ve got the fire in your eyes,
You’ve got an air of mystery
You’re a girl in demand,
You’ve got a residence permit for the promised land.
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
You’re so pretty,
You’re so cool,
Think you’re something better, baby,
But I’m still your fool.
You’ve got the groove,
You’ve got the moves.
A superficial man like me,
Don’t get me started.
(Chorus)

Living Fast
04:21
|
|||
|
I wanna live my life to the full,
I wanna live for today,
I wanna be a part of it all,
I wanna do things my way.
Short-lived sensations,
Exceeding our attention span,
Played at the wanted speed,
Carried out as it was planned.
Product schemes quickly outdated,
Make a new gadget, a new toy.
Riding on the crest of the wave,
Overlooking the hidden ploys.
Living fast, trying to keep in time,
The modern drive,
Too fast to read the signs.
Living fast, in a timeless race,
Keep up with progress
High tech sets the pace.
(Chorus)
Movements of the world
At the speed of possibility.
You grasp at the last access
And take the opportunity.
Living fast, going off course
Fast moving traffic,
An impatient force.
Living fast, in a timeless race,
Keep up with rivals,
Winners set the pace.
(Chorus)

Picture Book Life
03:50
|
|||
|
You’re waiting at the bus stop
For your life to pick you up
And watch the clock tick impatiently.
You keep chasing your chances,
They always seem to slip away
And the last few days
Proved life isn’t easy.
You were so busy feeling sorry for yourself
That you didn’t see the steps there were to take.
As possibilities pass before your eyes
You wonder which change you have to make.
Before I could see,
You, like me, we’re not the only ones…
Once you break free of the limits set for you before…
Before I could see right through the lie.
I don’t subscribe to this picture book life.
Life needn’t be all perfect
For you to really live it
And make the most of the good that comes.
No need to deceive them all
And make yourself just leave aside
All that lies outside,
Live by the rule of blue thumbs.
I was so busy trying not to care,
That I didn’t see what I could not deny.
With the passing of time, you’ll come to realise
The worth of a moment though it’s passed you by.
(Chorus)
The weight of indecision or the tunnel vision
Of a life all aligned
And free will left behind.
Mirrors of a life that could have been
From the age of seventeen
In circles all the time
You still don’t know your own mind.
(Chorus)
I don’t subscribe to this picture book life.
You, like me, we’re not the only ones…

Song For Someone
04:24
|
|||
|
I thought I was good with words,
Till I tried to write this song for you,
So I’ll do my best not to fit the cliché.
I don’t know how to say
All the things I feel about you,
How I was in love every Thursday.
You’re a true Renaissance girl,
And yet for you it’s no big thing.
You can see what no one else can see.
You never cease to amaze me,
It just leaves me wondering
Why would a girl like you want to be with me?
I’ve turned it over in my mind,
About half a hundred times,
Took a step back once or twice,
Only to realise
No one comes close to you,
It still feels like a dream,
Too good, but it’s true.
No love song in this world
Can do justice to you.
Well, I can hardly conceal
That you mean the world to me,
The fire inside, that light in your eye.
The warmth in your smile,
That kindness comes so naturally,
And the precious hours with you just keep flying by.
(Chorus)
Beauty in so many forms,
Perfect in so many ways.
How could I deserve you?
What could I do or say?
But every single time
I see these things about you.
And I know I can’t feel whole
Without you.
No one comes close to you,
It still feels like a dream,
Too good, but it’s true.
No love song in this world,
No love song in this world
Can do justice
To you.
