Accidental Birthday
One in four means something but February’s over
Am I one year wiser or one drink past sober?
Making sense of accidents
And trying not to cause offence
It’s really hard to play the card
One suit is all I own
It’s time to hold on tight now October’s always booming
I can feel it coming like Monday morning looming
Making sense of accidents
And trying not to cause offence
I’m really keen to set the scene
One line is all I know
So, for all I know
There could be a thousand places yet to see
A thousand things to set you free
And when you hear that call
You know that there couldn’t be a better way
So live to drink another day
Like the leaves I’m falling down into November
I can feel a warmth like bare feet on embers
Making sense of accidents
And trying not to cause offence
So let’s begin by jumping in
One joke is all I know
So, for all I know
There could be a thousand places yet to see
A thousand things to set you free
And when you hear that call
You know that there couldn’t be a better way
So live to drink another day
Airport Lounge
Came back late in the evening
All my thoughts freewheeling
I’ve got somewhere to go now
I just need to know how
I’ve been drifting along
With everything going on
Wondering what went wrong
At least I know now, where I belong
There’s a place out there
But I don’t know where
It’s my final warning
Now my gate is boarding
If things are out of tune now
Please don’t you assume now
That I’ll be hanging around
Drunk in the airport lounge
Flying close to the ground
Under the radar safe and sound
Today’s the day I threw it all away
And then I left forever
It’s safe to say I never would have stayed
To face the stormy weather
Again
Never again
Ever again
I’ll be hanging around
Here in the airport lounge
I’m too close to the ground
Under the radar safe and sound
Today’s the day I threw it all away
And then I left forever
It’s safe to say I never would have stayed
To face the stormy weather
Again
Never again
Ever again
Bomb Squad
Now the days are getting shorter
Things will never be the same
So we’re going under water
Just to stay out of the rain
And now my mind’s made up
Now my mind’s made up for me
This is where I want to be
There’s a place that’s far behind me
There’s a place to take this slow
Lazy Sunday’s where you’ll find me
Lazy Sunday’s all I know
I’ve got my mind made up
I’ve got my mind made up for me
This is where I want to be
And every single ticking sound
Doesn’t need to bring the bomb squad round
And now my mind’s made up
Now my mind’s made up for me
This is where I want to be
And every single ticking sound
Doesn’t need to bring the bomb squad
Round and round the danger zone
Because I don’t care if my cover’s blown
And every single ticking sound
Doen’t need to bring the bomb squad round
Cut To The Chaser
Climb up to the rooftop
Watch the moonlight disappear
I can’t hear a pin drop
For the ringing in my ears
I cried for madder music
I sighed for stronger wine
Cut to the chaser every time
Cut to the chaser every single time
Hung out by the shore-side
At a place that’s so ramshack
Really pushed the boat out
But I could not row it back
Lost my way completely
But that’s not such a crime
Cut to the chaser every time
Cut to the chaser every single time
Paradise is somewhere
In between two kinds of hell
I only see the stars shine
When I’m down the wishing well
Looking for a reason
Where there is no rhyme
Cut to the chaser every time
Cut to the chaser every single time
Cut to the chaser every single time
Cut to the chaser every single time
Every single time
Dumbstruck
Struck dumb being unaccustomed as I am
I don’t see it as a problem because I can
Feel your touch all that words can do is fail me
I want you; all I do is want you
All of the time
Looks like I’m staring at a spot light I’m so blind
You’re set moving round in silhouette on my eyes
Watching you all this focusing has blurred me
I want you; all I do is want you
All of the time
There’s nothing I can do when I give in to your persuasion
It makes no difference in the end
I wish I knew now
What I wished when I knew how
Watching you all my senses just desert me
I want you all of the time
I need you all of he time
And there’s nothing I can do when I give in to your persuasion
It makes no difference in the end
If you ask me now then I don’t know how
I can feel much more than this about the strength of my affection
It makes no difference in the end
I wish I knew now what I wished when I knew how
