A New Spark
If we can shake the world then we might break it
And take the lives of those who’ve come before
If all you see is my heart then all you see is me naked
Remember when you didn’t know me at all?
It was all autumn leaves and you in my dreams only
Bub-bada-dup, bub-bub-bada-dup
Bub-bada-dup, bub-bub-badadada
Bub-bada-dup, bub-bub-bada-dup
Bub-bada-dup, bub-bub-bada
If we can take a spark and form a new lightening
We’ll never have to live with rain again
If all you see of the start is a space up inside me
Well girl you’re not wrong
You’re not wrong, you’re not wrong
But there’s a new space in our eyes
In the rear view mirror staring at all our goodbyes
Bub-bada-dup, bub-bub-bada-dup
Bub-bada-dup, bub-bub-badadada
Bub-bada-dup, bub-bub-bada-dup
Bub-bada-dup, bub-bub-bada
And do you like this poetry?
I wish I could say, say, say what it means
But my pockets aren’t filled with paper dreams
And don’t you just hate these denim jeans?
That keep us confined, that keep us redeemed
In the eyes of our modesty
If we can shake the world then we might break it
And take the lives of those who’ve come before
If all you see is my heart then all you see is me naked
But girl you’re not wrong
You’re not wrong, you’re not wrong
Cos there’s a new space in our eyes
In the rear view mirror staring at all our goodbyes
Bub-bada-dup, bub-bub-bada-dup
Bub-bada-dup, bub-bub-badadada
Bub-bada-dup, bub-bub-bada-dup
Bub-bada-dup, bub-bub-bada
As we live, as we try
As we give, as we die
As we are, as we’ll be
As afar, as eternity

Magnet Star
I’m sick of this street
Where two faces meet
Once lovers,
Now something like enemies
Why did she come?
If she didn’t wanna stay too long
Electricity,
Tumbles through my bones
Attracts you to me,
But baby when I’m alone
I’m cutting down those times at night
When I think of you and the lightning strikes
All it takes is me
To ignore your call
But I know,
I can’t keep away too long
Cos your autumn looks
And your goldmine hair
Make a thundercloud of my despair
Cos you’re my magnet star
Reign supreme on me
You don’t even need to plan it cos
You find me in your dreams
Losing patience now
My brains slipping out
And I’m afraid,
Our future might burn me down
Why did she run?
When all she did was turn me on
Come and sentence me
Broken love affair
Somewhere I’d rather be
Than seeing you everywhere
I’m cautious when I close my door
Cos leaving the lightning
Makes me want you more
I’m in overdrive
Trying to escape
Now I know that all you want is a chase
So I won’t move
Or fall into your sight
I’ve got nothing to lose
But you’ve got something to hide
Cos you’re my magnet star
Reign supreme on me
You don’t even need to plan it cos
You find me in your dreams
Cos you’re my magnet star
Reign supreme on me
You don’t even need to plan it cos
You find me in your dreams
And opposites attract but now
It seems we’re both the same
If I’m giving up on you baby
Please don’t take it personally
Oww!
I’m sick of this street
Where two faces meet
Once lovers,
Now something like enemies
Why did she come?
When all she did was turn me on
Come and sentence me
Broken love affair
Somewhere I’d rather be
Than seeing you everywhere
I’m cautious when I close my door
Cos leaving the lightning
Makes me want you more
Cos you’re my magnet star
Reign supreme on me
You don’t even need to plan it cos
You find me in your dreams

Only Time Will Tell
I, can’t, get, any further away
Cos if, I, did, I’d be on the moon
And that aint good for me
And wasn’t it you who said
‘I know that I’ve done bad
But boy don’t let me be the girl
You remember to forget’
Tears are heart shapes smashed
And upon the pavement I threw my
Goodbye to the wind
And I crashed
Only time will tell if you’re the girl I remember to forget
I’m, trapped, in, my regrets
Well something’s got to give
I don’t know what it is
But I need it back
I need it bad
And wasn’t it you who said
‘I know that I’ve done bad
But boy don’t let me be the girl
You remember to forget’
Tears are heart shapes smashed
And upon the pavement I threw my
Goodbye to the wind
Ha-ha!
And I laughed, uh-huh
Only time will tell if you’re the girl I remember to forget
Only time will tell
If these memories’ll stop killing me
Only time will tell
If I can pick myself from off my knees
Only time will tell
If I can break free of these fantasies
Only time will tell
If I can let you go
Well if I can let you go I’ll let you know
I, can’t, get, any further away
Cos if, I, did, I’d be someone new
And that’s a fantasy
And wasn’t it you who said
‘I know that I’ve done bad
But boy don’t let me be the girl
You remember to forget’
Tears are heart shapes smashed
And upon the pavement I threw my
Goodbye to the wind
And I dashed, uh-huh
Only time will tell if you’re the girl I remember to forget
Only time will tell, only time will tell

Same Train, Different Departure Times
I was just sitting there
Minding my own business yeah
When she ran out the door
I didn’t mind much
But she made a fuss
So now we’re drawn
Into this overture
‘Darlin’ wontcha come exclaim your love?’
Well baby I don’t want to, not right now
‘Well why not?’
Well maybe in time I’ll realize
That I never did from the start
And I will come to burn the note
That says ‘I love you baby’
Deep inside my heart you wrote
I’ll never be the same again
That’s enough
Time to get a train out of this
Crazy little thing called love
I was just sitting there
Minding my own business yeah
When she struck out the lights
I didn’t wanna fight
But she wanted my
Commitment so
I had to set things right
‘Baby it’s hard to know what true love is
In this broken, broken world’
And I just hope I don’t leave this life
With the riddle of my heart unsolved
And I will come to burn the note
That says ‘I love you baby’
Deep inside my heart you wrote
I’ll never be the same again
Let it go, let her go, let her go
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Cos I was just sitting there
Just sitting there alone
When she picked up the phone
And sang her poetry
Making metaphors into the night
Singing ‘Darlin, we’re the same train
With different departure times’
Same train, different departure times x8
And I will come to burn the note
That says ‘I love you baby’
Deep inside my heart you wrote
I’ll never be the same again
And I will come to burn the note
That says ‘I love you baby’
Deep inside my heart you wrote
I’ll never be the same again
Be the same again x2

Tear You Down
Baby I’m in love
Cos you tear me to pieces
Never get enough
Now you’re pulling away
What dya say to that baby?
And baby I’m in chains
Cos you wrapped em around me
Rather than see the stains
Painted on your sheets
What dya say to that baby?
‘Nothing seems to change and that bothers me’
She said as I fell to my knees
‘I’m addicted to your electric attitude’
I said as she began to scream
And baby I won’t go
Cos you lead me to madness
Bite my burning lip
When the terrible happens
If I take you back baby
And baby I’m in love
Cos it’s crashing around me
Stubborn I’ve become
And it threatens to drown me
If I take you back baby
‘Nothing seems to change and that bothers me’
She said as I fell to my knees
‘I’m addicted to your electric attitude’
I said as she began to scream
Baby’s gonna strut
Gonna mess you around
Gonna tear you down
Tear you down x4
Baby I’m in love
Cos you tear me to pieces
Never get enough
Now you’re pulling away
What dya say to that baby?
And baby I won’t go
Cos you lead me to madness
Bite my burning lip
When the terrible happens
If I take you back baby
Baby, baby, baby
Are you gonna tell me?
Baby, are you gonna tell me?
Baby, are you gonna tell me?
Baby, are you gonna tell me?
Baby are you gonna tear me down?

Silhouettes
I walk through this crowd
I can’t see my feet no more
I know you might not mind
Going into this blind, but girl I do
It’s a hell of a chase when you’re falling
For someone new
But I’ve made some mistakes
Some recently
That might colour what I’m about to do
Baby lets be silhouettes
Against the night
I’m ready and willing
To tear down my disguise
Cos I’m overrun
At your dress undone
In the morning I will
Be some other guy
And you will be that girl
Who can’t look me in the eye
Cos you’re overcome,
Turn and run far away
I talk to myself
Cos I can’t hear your voice no more
All I hear is white noise
When I see ya chatting with those boys
They all want you
It’s a crazy little thing
When love comes a knocking
And your soul’s undressed
‘Yes my heart’s a mess’ since the last one
She left my tenderness as dirty rags
Baby lets be silhouettes
Against the night
I’m ready and willing
To tear down my disguise
Cos I’m overrun
At your dress undone
In the morning I will
Be some other guy
And you will be that girl
Who can’t look me in the eye
Cos you’re overcome,
Turn and run far away
Always feel like-a, like I’m wasting time x3
Whenever I’m with you
Always feel like-a, like I’m wasting time x3
Whenever I’m with you
Baby lets slow this down
I need some room to breathe
I walk through this crowd
I can’t see my feet no more
I know you might not mind
Going into this blind, but girl I do
It’s a hell of a chase when you’re falling
For someone new
But I won’t let this be
Another catastrophe
I’m gonna be your man
Together we’ll be…
Baby lets be silhouettes
Against the night
I’m ready and willing
To tear down my disguise
Cos I’m overrun
At your dress undone
In the morning I will
Be some other guy
And you will be that girl
Who can’t look me in the eye
Cos you’re overcome,
Turn and run
Into my arms

Dead Roses
Bup-bada
Bada-bada
Bada-bada-ba, a wow x2
Carried dead roses up the road
Got them from a friend of yours
Which seems to symbolize that our
Romance has run its course
But I could be wrong, and you could be ripe
For the picking in the pale moonlight
Are you lonely? Don’t say, cos I might
Just come on over now
Bup-bada
Bada-bada
Bada-bada-ba, a wow x2
And I run into your arms again
What does that say about me?
I wish that I could play pretend
But you take it all seriously
Woke up this morning in your arms
Fresh roses in a pale blue vase
Threw on my jeans and I made for the door
But your voice echoes down
‘Last night you told me
That you get lonely
When it gets cold
So come under the covers
Cos I need someone to love’
And I run into your arms again
What does that say about me?
I wish that I could say farewell
But I’m always gonna need you honey
Ring a ring a roses
My girl told me ‘call me when you’re home safe’
But she’d never pick up
Her petals had all fallen off
Ring a ring a roses
I love you baby
But you’re only in the moment
When you say that you will stay… with… me
Carried dead roses up the road
Got them from a friend of yours
Which seems to symbolize that our
Romance has run its course
But I could be wrong, and you could be ripe
For the picking in the pale moonlight
Are you lonely? Don’t say, cos I might
Just come on over now
Bup-bada
Bada-bada
Bada-bada-ba, a wow x2
All I’m saying is…

Heart Necklace

Heart Necklace
I have been acting foolishly
Much like my mother before me
Yes I played the love fool
Gave my everything
My final performance on the dancing string
But I’m oh-oh-oh-oh-o-k now honey
Cos I know-oh-oh-oh-oh that season of blue
All-whoa-whoa all too well
I’ll crawl in my crowded shell
Just to know if you’re wearing your heart necklace today
And I have been crazy, speaking falsely
Hiding my gold dust behind these shades
Need a little wisdom and whole lotta distance
To forget bout my problems on the dancing string x2
But I’m oh-oh-oh-oh-o-k now honey
Cos I know-oh-oh-oh-oh that season of blue
Will co-whoa-whoa-me (come) to an end
As long as you don’t send that text
Cos I know, yes I know what it says:
‘Baby, something’s going on
I’ve lost all my strong
Searching for my heart
Cos I threw it
Into the river
When I left you there
Searching for my heart’
Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa-oh x4
And it’s ok honey,
That season of blue has come to pass x2
Has come to pass, has come to pass,
Has come to pass, yeah…
Say oh-whoa-whoa-whoa-oh
Yeah alright
