1. _ Chelsea Walk
I went down to chelsea walk
Where the sun doesn't shine at all
And i went looking for something for me
But i came back with nothing at all
Except an old man who could not see
But he said that he knew god
Chelsea walk
Oh... chelsea walk
Oh... chelsea walk
Now i've been down to chelsea walk
Where the sun just refuses to shine
And i ran back to my little room
And i jumped straight into a bottle of wine
You know i'll be alright for just a day
But tomorrow i must wake
Chelsea walk
Oh... chelsea walk
Oh... chelsea walk
Old man i must be on my way
Don't you worry i'm just scared for those who pray
In chelsea walk
Oh... chelsea walk
Oh... chelsea walk
Chelsea walk...

2. _ Alibis
You told so many lies
Your tongue is black with fireflies
But you spit them out and pretend you're sneezing
And every word is such a joke
With so many pasts you'd be ninety years old
Don't you wonder why the room keeps on leaving
Hey, hey - what's that i heard you say
Don't think that i would never need it
Hey, hey - what's that i heard you say
Don't think that i would ever believe it
It's just a thought and nothing more
That all your thoughts and moves are taught
And memorised each night before your sleeping
And every word is such a joke
Strung from neon masts flying flags you hope
Will win you friends and give your life some meaning
(repeat chorus)
You told so many lies
Your tongue is stained with alibis
You've been around the world and found it pleasing
And every word is such a joke
With so many pasts you'd be a hundred years old
Don't you wonder why the room keeps on leaving
(repeat chorus)

4. _ Beautiful Losers
Your dream make-up is cracked and wearing thin
Your eyes are on your chin
It's getting hard for you
But to make up is only make-believe
And we don't need a scene like this
Whatever happened to the beautiful losers
Whatever happened to the beautiful losers
Your eyes closed and dreamed of places that you and i would go
It's getting hard for me to love you, like i used to
I don't believe "hello"
Do you?
Whatever happened to the beautiful losers
Whatever happened to the beautiful losers

5. _ Mrs Jones
What are you gonna do today mrs jones
Are you gonna chase the pain away mrs jones
Or leave it sitting there waiting outside your door
Hoping to find the things you hoped would tell you more
About the dreams that seem to slip away
What are you gonna do today mrs jones
Are you going to face the bills to pay mrs jones
Or leave them sitting there waiting outside your door
Hoping to find the things you hoped would tell you more
About the dreams that seem to slip away
It's not as if mr jones could help in anyway
It's not as if mr jones the bills that he could pay

6. _ Huckleberry Grove
Shirley was a lady whose teeth were made of gold
She danced before the music and everything it told
Huckleberry grove
Where the music plays into tomorrow night
Huckleberry grove
Only fools would need to argue or to fight
Shirley had eight children and each of them were told
You got joy for singing burning in your soul
Huckleberry grove
Where the idiots can't ease you of your mind
Huckleberry grove
Take a free train, leave your luggage far behind
Oh she sings shangri-la
Oh she sings shangri-la
Shirley was a lady who mostly stayed at home
But she went out dancing down huckleberry grove
Huckleberry grove
Where the music plays into tomorrow night
Huckleberry grove
You'll be groovin' on the best days of your life
Huckleberry grove
Where the music's guaranteed to blow your mind
Huckleberry grove
Leave your luggage, get a free train, get behind
Oh she sings shangri-la
Oh she sings shangri-la

7. _ Outside Of A Circle
Saturday afternoon
The sunshine pours like wine
Through your window
But i know that golden june can turn an empty grey
'gainst your window
And i feel like
I'm on the outside of a circle
And if i walk by the trees
I catch the falling leaves
If the wind blows
But i know that all this means
Is whiling on the hours
Watching side-shows
And i feel like
I'm on the outside of a circle
Will i turn my coat to the rain
I don't know
But i'm going somewhere
I can warm my bones
Fare you well
I'll carry me away
And sing to those i know
Upon their birthdays
I won't feel like like i'm on the outside...
I won't feel like like i'm on the outside...
I won't feel like like i'm on the outside of a circle

8. _ Top Of The World
For all of her diction; her self medication
She fell down and dented her nose
And laughed at the coroners
Desperately warning her
Watch now the way that it goes
And she knows...
She's living at the top of the world
In need of salvation she spoke to her mother
Who died in the service of king
What is the meaning of wallflowers receiving a glance
It would mean everything
And she thinks...
She's living at the top of the world
Three minutes later she looked in the mirror
And cracked half a smile at her toes
And she knows, she knows...
She's living at the top of the world

9. _ Cool Cool Water
Cool cool water where i rest my head
You keep me running to a single bed
Yellow moon rising on the riverboat wild
You keep me running like a child
Yellow moon rising on the riverboat wild
You keep me running like a child
Bobby don't know
He's got a funny way of seeing situations
Call him on the phone
And ain't it funny but he never seems to come home
Bobby don't know
He's got a funny way of seeing situations
Call him on the phone
Ain't it strange that he never seems to go home

11. _ Charlie Brown Says
Charlie brown says
No-one promised this when i was a kid
When my days were filled with carousels
Fairground rides and cockleshells
Kicking pebbles on a beach
When time couldn't reach me
And tears were just a memory left to be learned
Now days catch me without an overcoat
Five o'clock shoes full of snow
All rained out, nowhere to go
Memories are sure to find you
No matter how fast you run
Gonna catch up with you
Charlie brown says
Oh this winter sure sure gets me down
When there ain't no friends around

12. _ Robin Hood
When you're starting to choke take some pills with your coke
It's inspirational
When your life is a mess light one more cigarette
It's so logical
Well it's something your mother can't abide
But it's something that i freely prescribe
Take yourself for a ride
It never felt so good
As the night that you and i played robin hood
Stealing from the backrooms of my mind
Remembering a time when we were five
A time i thought we'd left behind
When i'm starting to cry
Come and sit by my side
I will love you so
And when nightmares come
I will try to be fun, even though;
I'm so scared you know
Well it's something your mother can't abide
But it's something that i freely prescribe
Take yourself for a ride
It never felt so good
As the night that you and i played robin hood
Stealing from the backrooms of our minds
Stealing from a time when we were five
A time i thought we'd left behind
Stealing from the backrooms of our minds
Stealing from a time when we were five
A time i thought we'd left behind
When you're starting to choke take some pills with your coke
It's hysterical

13. _ Here In My Heart
I feel a love that's so hard to bear
Won't you come kiss me and take this despair
Let the morning time dapple its light in your hair
Like warm running water in snow
But i fear a love of jealousy and pain
Lost in the race 'tween the foolish and vain
Come the morning time whistle and take you away
Where the sun always burns in the winter
Oh... here in my heart
Oh... here in my heart
And i know that all i'm saying is wrong
Etched in the night-time and rhymed in a song
Come tomorrow i'll lighten up and drink to the ones
Who love without asking for loving
Don't forsake me, the morning time plays at the children's door
If you leave me then what would i tell them you're leaving for
(repeat first verse)

14. _ The Day We Caught The Train (acoustic)
I never saw it as the start
It's more a change of heart
Rapping on the windows, whistling down the chimney pots
Blowing off the dust in the room where i forgot
Yeah i laid my plans in solid rock
Stepping through the door like a troubadour whiling just an hour away
Looking at the trees on the roadside feeling it's a brighter day
You and i should ride the coast
And wind up in our favourite coats just miles away
Roll a number, write another song like
Jimmy heard the day he caught the train
He sipped another rum and coke and told a dirty joke
Walking like groucho sucking on a number 10
Rolling on the floor with the cigarette burns walked in
Yeah i miss the crush and i'm home again
Stepping through the door with the night in store whiling just an hour away,
Looking at the trees and the star-bright feeling it's a brighter day
Repeat chorus
You and i should ride the tracks
And find ourselves just wading through tomorrow
But you and i when we're coming down
We're only getting back
You know i feel the sorrow
When you find that things are getting wild
Don't you want days like these...
Don't you need days like these...

15. _ The Clock Struck Fifteen Hours Ago
And the clock struck fifteen hours ago; it is shining
And the man who is wasting on the wall
Looks a lot like jesus
And a little bit resembling
The man in the mirror in the hall
And i rose-trayed sailors
And you still shining
And i'm still waiting not to go
And i lied for sailors
And i lied for certain
And i lied to everyone i know
I believe in god and i believe in loving
But i don't speak to anyone who knows
And i need four 50's and three yellow lemons
And someone to take me home
And i'd forgotten the one who is sailing
On the water beside where you don't go
And it's strange to tell that the one who is shining
Is someone i forgot i used to know
And the clock struck fifteen hours ago

16. _ I Wanna Stay Alive With You
I'm not one to judge that much
And anyway i just wanna get high on you
But thirteen year old girls in hotels on the other side of the world
Seems a little much for me
Yeah, i wanna stay alive with you...
But they look you in the eye
And anyway they'll always slip a smile at you
But thirteen year old girls in rat-holes on the other side of the world
They're gonna lie to you
Yeah, i wanna stay alive with you...
Free-runs in a town where the boys and girls are settling down for the night
To make up and make eyes at you
Yeah, i wanna stay alive with you...
