Shotgun
The light is dying but we will rage
We're throwing stones at a tidal wave
We ate lunch at her father’s grave yesterday
The picture depicts a familiar scene
You ain’t working alone
I’m a victim and I’m a thief
You’re the shape of a jigsaw piece
Riding shotgun I take my hands off the wheel
The picture depicts a familiar scene
You ain’t working alone

LEMON BEE
Come walk with me through the mud
My heart as it swims with blood
It goes, it goes, it goes
It grows up to here
My name is Mariah
So take aim and fire at me
I know, I know, I know,
I know everyone and they all know me
But you’re in my face and in my space
It’s not my place, my inner space
Just let me be, let me be, let me be, let me be...
Let’s play Guns ‘n’ Roses,
And have fun with our noses,
And no, and no, and no,
No, I’m not one of them; they’re one of me
But you’re in my face and in my space
It’s not my place, my inner space
Just let me be, let me be, let me be, let me be...

The rent is still due
And the government are still lying through their teeth
The sky is still blue
And I'm still in love with you
They don't make things like they used to
There's holes in everything
But I know this to be true
I'm still in love with you
Now I'm swinging in the wind
There's nothing left to cling to
I only do the things I do because
I'm still in love with you
But you entered leaving
So it goes
Yes, I've been moving on
But I'm still in love with you
I'm still in love with you.

Give Everything to Me

Like my man said, "What is that in your head?"
Give me your loss, and your fear, and your dread
Be my best friend, be my sister, be my bride
There's nothing to fear when there's nothing to hide
Give everything to me
You say all is fair, that in love you have found me
But you're playing with your hair and your eyes dance around me
So take what you want, what you can, what I give
Take all the sins that I know you'll forgive
But give everything to me
Give everything to me
Give everything to me

I seen you climbing down the factory wall
I’m never never never gonna break your fall
You cut my face with the nib of a pen
And you and me know you’re gonna do it again
The world is big I feel so small
(It’s okay cos we’re in love)
I’m never never never gonna take the fall
(It’s okay cos we’re in love)
I hear the sirens calling from far away
(It’s okay cos we’re in love)
You look me in the mirror and I hear you say:
(It’s okay cos we’re in love)
CHORUS
You’ve got me on my knees Eye for an eye for an
I’ve got you on your knees Eye for an eye for an eye
You didn’t understand, I thought you understood
(It’s okay cos we’re in love)
You slipped my hand like I knew that you would
(It’s okay cos we’re in love)
You didn’t understand, I thought you understood
(It’s okay cos we’re in love)
Oh but pain has never felt so good
(It’s okay cos we’re in love)
I fall, I fall down, And you, you lift me up,
And we dance a cold romance until we drop

SANDCASTLES
I’m giving up, I’m moving backwards
Retreating to the blue sea
So for the last time, I’m counting on my fingers
And beating a path through the beauty
It isn’t a miracle
This isn’t the United States
And all blood is pure blood
I will not waste my time
Who’s pulling your strings? Just what were you thinking?
You’ve built all your castles on sand
Now I’ve realised I’m glad that you knew me
Can feel the regret running through me
La la la…
It isn’t a miracle
The creation of a greater state
And all love is true love
I will not waste my time

I like swimming, do you like swimming?
Cos I like swimming, do you?
It’s all I want to do
And I like winning, do you like winning?
Cos I like winning off you
It’s all I want to do
I like Philip, do you like Philip?
Cos I like Philip today
That’s all I want to say
And I like rucking, do you like rucking?
cos I like rucking, do you like rucking?
That’s all I want to say.
Death whispers to me and says
“Live for I am coming, yes”

Smoke is seeping, leaking
Through the floorboards it's creeping
But the fire's gone out
People leaving, dropping
Hearts are beating then stopping
The fire has gone out
O but underneath...
Underneath and in between
There's embers burning still
And they forever will
Oceans rising, falling
We're on tiptoes we're crawling
The path you beat
So with our hearts like clenched fists
We will hold tight, remembering
The path you beat
Always in between...
Underneath and in between
Your trail is never cold
In faces, hearts and hope
Underneath
