The Other Way
03:24

Been told / many times / this is all you gonna find
Whoever drove here / must have been blind
Stand still / in line / this is gonna be fine
I wanna run for miles
I remember the day
we hit the end of the line
It was the other way
It was the other way
Switch kill / special deal / this is all you’re ever feel
It was never meant to be real
Hey man / they will call / some will settle others fall
Down a landslide
I remember the day
we hit the end of the line
It was the other way
It was the other way
The end / comes fast / so long / go home
The end / runs in / before / it’s over
Will you / stay young / and carry on?
Will you / come down / and send back the weather?
Will you / come down / the other way?

I Know Your Name
03:20

The sound you make when you fly into my head
/ is a sound I never forget
It rides on the scent of a summers day
/ it hangs onto what you say
Yeah I wish we could slay that dragon
/ and I wish for your walls to fall
I intend to spend a lot of time in the sun
/ there’s no reason to worry at all
Yeah / I know your name
Some will wait for what they cannot have
/ assume I was here before
Assume I’m the one who’s coming to collect
/ coz I always want more
Assume it’s sometime before I’m coming down
/assume we have never met
Assume there are lines that you just don’t cross
/assume I’m the different kind
Yeah / it was in seventy nine
That you came / opened your eyes
What did you ever stand for?
What did you ever care for?
Sonny got beaten like love on the rocks
/ by waves you’ve rarely seen before
But we don’t call him down here where the city life lives
/ coz he might just want more
Assume there’s a gator waiting in my lake
/ assume you won’t get out alive
Assume I am the one who wish you all the best
/ I’m the one who made it right

Fanning The Flames

The way you walk / tells me I’m not alone
There’s someone else / who’s not unknown
The way you talk / reassures me
That you are / safely on the ground
I didn’t wish for this to happen
To someone / to someone better
I looked down / I had a choice
The searing heat or two thousand feet
I know our time ain’t over
Clear a path / let me show yer
Dropping through a hurricane
The sky’s not for sale
Who thought this up? Who brought us crashing down?
Scarred our beliefs / fanning the flames
I’ll tell you this / it might get loud
Brace yourselves / for a different chase
The way you walk / the way you walk with me
The way you talk / the way you talk to me
The way you walk / the way you walk with me
The way you talk / the way you talk to me

Breaking Away
04:08

What would you do if I had a fever to tell it all?
Would it make sense to listen to your every beck and call?
You can expect a lot of trouble to land up here
I recognize you are a souvenir
I’m breaking away
Soon I’ll be on my way
I’m breaking away
So set the date
To pass you over was certainly a big mistake
We mistook you for an insolent little fake
The ball and chain you carried here / was irrelevant
Unfortunately you weren’t innocent
Come on show me what you’ve got

Catfights In Bushes
sometimes, it feels like I’m in your firing line
wait up, wait for your squeeze on the side, alright
high up, they’ll lean on your spirit to dig them a hole
lounge back, it’s about to spiral outta control
I don’t mind she said / before it expires come inside
hold the line / Dear Whoever, who’s in charge?
Step in / step out / cat fights in bushes
come down, it’s not as if you have a bird’s eye view, from up there
call in, but not if you can say I like the way that you are
don’t think for a moment you have what it takes in the bag
wake up, it’s a violent war that won’t end
all the love you had / over powered you / brought you down
all the tears / Dear Whoever, who’s in charge?
Step in / step out /cat fights in bushes
this time, cat fights in bushes won’t slow me down, let’s meet up tonight
I found a way, to suck them right out of their holes, not again, I’ll fall for their kind
hang on, whatever you do don’t let go / come on / settle in
come on settle in x3

No Doubt About It
03:30
|

Here’s the thing
I know what you mean
I can see
A revolution
I was taken with you
I walked out
With a crossbow
A knuckle buster
And a riot shield
When they stormed / I thought of you
One for you / ten for me
It’s what you want / that doesn’t come for free
Wake up / the end of the day is here
I don’t think / there’s any doubt
I don’t think / we’ll make it out
I don’t think there’s any doubt / about it
Come / back / and / see me soon
All you have to do
Is put one foot in front of the other
Excuse me if I go
A little overboard with my point of view
For once it was all very proper and beautiful

Not Unlike You
03:12
|
|||
Soon I reckon there’ll be nothing left of what was before
Give me something I can’t ignore
When you are a trick of my mind
Go outside and leave us behind
It’s not unlike you / to let me in
It’s not unlike you / to shake deep within
It’s not unlike you / to know what you are
It’s not unlike you
I raised my eyes to the sky
I felt fine
Well / so / long
Come on we’ve got to move, there ain’t much time left
run from here / take what you can get
There’s so much more / some won’t believe
They were led on / they were deceived
Horses / couldn’t carry me
away into the distance
One damn call and it’s all over
You should have tried harder
It’s not unlike you x4

I’ve been waiting for
You to come around
It has been quite a while
Since you’ve gone underground
When you follow the signs
Don’t cross that yellow line
And come through to the other side and see me
Going out of my mind
Call on the night
To keep us alive
Remember the days
When they died with their boots on
And as the rain set in
You disappeared
They died with their boots on
To never be seen again
Running in
With it all to lose
A deafening sound
brought some bad news
Call on the night
To keep us alive
Remember the days
When they died with their boots on
Words don’t heal
And bombs don’t feel
I called your name
A sniper took aim
Coming out of the woods
They died with their boots on
Climbing over fallen comrades
They died with their boots on
