Big Boys Toy 03:25
lyrics
buy track
Put on a brave face and suck it up Count to three and open your eyes You've never been quite this scared before As you're hurling along at sonic speed ' Pull it hard to the left, 'round to the right Over the crest hold on for your life Breaking hard in a cloud of smoke You're pulling G's that'll make you choke And you're falling behind (Don't wanna fall behind) Are you wasting your time (Have to make up your mind) In your big boys toy (Your toying with your life) As the race is run Not enough time to think about is As you plant your foot right to the floor Can't go back it's too late now You'll take the chance as you make your vow To make the other boys eat your dust As your racing to the line for the thing you all lust But one wrong move is all it takes To lose your life or to lose the race Up ahead is the finish line You're running out of time x 2 To make you mark and to stake your claim x 3

4 Walls 03:18
lyrics
buy track
Dream walkin' down the side of a busy road Keep hoping someone might just share the load But all you see are people passing by They stare you down as they wonder why? And you know how far you have to go And you know how long it has been You wish someone would get a clue Then maybe they'd join you Keep travelling along your merry way Enjoy the time spent by the light of day but all you see are peoples passing frowns yet still you never let it get you down Stop to rest in a corner for the night amazed as people gaze at you with fright Do the really know what they're missing who's to say 4 walls is all that life can bring

Insomniac 03:22
lyrics
buy track
Wide awake at three in the morning My mind races a hundred miles an hour Fall out of bed crawl to the kitchen Time to raid the fridge Nothing there that's taking my fancy Have to try my luck in the pantry rummage 'round to find what I'm after not a crumb to spare Oh what a plight it is to be A completely wired insomniac Why can't I just fall asleep Like normal people seem to do Flick the switch on comes the TV See what rubbish it's got to offer me Infomercials they've got the answer To Obesity Channel hopping for twenty minutes All I get are outdated repeats Guess they don't expect to make much Money out of me All I wanna do is sleep Sweet sweet sleep But I'm so wound up I'm like a rubber band about to snap Snap out of this never ending cycle Otherwise I'll end up maniacal I'm convinced that this can't be natural never shutting down Band My head against something heavy Maybe I will fall down unconscious Can't be worse than the alternative Apart from all the pain

Feeling Restless 03:35
lyrics
buy track
Feeling restless Never satisfied with what you're doing Always wanting to be occupied beyond you time The rat race that you call you home is really where you hide yourself from all the things that really matter Could you dare to spare a moment of your time Take a breath, hold it in, then release it slowly Would that be too much to ask Passing through the hourglass One grain at a time Counting precious Minutes seconds as they float away Don't forget your hour might be over sooner than you think Could it be That maybe you priorities have been somewhat misplaced In all you busy goings on Are you really there Or are you filling up your life with meaningless excuses for not living it Get a hold on things Don't let the sands of time slip through your fingers Because once they have all fallen They're gone forever never to return Nah nah nah nah Wait and see what happens when that restless feeling Causes you to miss the point Of why you're even here at all

Cried Your Eyes Dry 04:24
lyrics
buy track
Between birth and death comes Profound destiny, yet untold For some it strangles While others are set free Pain will make you stronger But love will keep you softer Remember how it hurt and how you Cried you eyes dry Dreams are made and lost again Hearts are broken Now and then Courage must be found to see your journey through Standing on two feet is hard Learning how to walk is harder Trying not to fall will be The hardest of them all

Parachute 03:17
lyrics
buy track
Throw me out and watch me fall Listen for My petrified call See me shrink towards the earth I don't know why I would' Ever want to jump out of a Perfectly good plane Falling through the clouds My heart pounds Time to pull the chord It nearly severs me Now I'm floating high Up in the sky Lucky I'm alive But then I hit the ground Nearly broke my leg I need a Keg To calm my brittle nerves But then they drag me back Time to jump again So what then See a grown man cry Because he thinks he'll die Better say my prayers Make my peace with God No one could survive this more than once Never said goodbye Too the little woman Hope she can forgive me one day soon Alright time is up So i take a big deep breath and jump This is not so bad In fact I'm glad To face my growing fear of landing on my head I jump on my own A little grown Think I'll be alright My chest is not so tight I step up once more Am I insane But then I recall It gives me such a buzz I'm an addict now But you ask how This'll do the trick It gives my heart a kick

Dig Deep 03:21
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes you've gotta dig deep Get your hands dirty and have a go Sometimes you've gotta sweat it out Put your back into it No passengers allowed Sometimes you've gotta dig deep Not just judge a book By it's clever wrapping Sometimes you've gotta read between the lines Try and make some sense Of this Chaos that is life Take up your pick and shovel strike the rugged earth Don't you miss the mark don't leave a stone unturned Be prepared to ware the scars that come with time And know that you cannot rewind.....Rewind Sometimes you've gotta dig deeper Break down the walls to her hardened heart Sometimes you've gotta try and listen Not just prattle on with all your wild Ideas

Many Faces 05:09
lyrics
buy track
Many faces have passed these eyes In my short, uneventful life Some I've grown to know and love Others fade into obscurity Often I stop to think what if What if the tables turned What would my life be like I f I didn't know who I know many faces stick in my mind Haunting me throughout my day Some I know have changed my life Others I'm not so sure about How do I know who they know What they've done or where they've been Could they have shaped me More than I will ever know And who really decides our fate Pulls the strings directs the play Once I though I was in control Until My eyes were opened Were opened, Wide opened wide opened Oh until my eyes were opened Oh until my eyes were opened Many faces I know are lost When I count them one by one Some I do not miss at all Others I regret not chasing Could I have been a different man today If I'd only chance my arm Thrown the curve ball made the pitch But I didn't so I'll never know

Nothing Really Matters 03:43
lyrics
buy track
And it makes me wonder have i got a clue And if I don't , well what the hell makes you think that you do Well it's six of one or half a dozen of the other And nothing really matters And I don't mean to be rude but I don't like the food I'd much rather eat Chinese I hope I've not hurt you And It's six of one and half a dozen of the other And nothing really matters yeah yeah yeah And I should have seen it coming from a million miles away but I was looking at what's flashing in the corner of my eye And it's six of one and half a dozen of the other And nothing really matters Yeah yeah yeah And I woke up this morning with a lump upon my head And all that I had left to eat is half a loaf of bread And I thought of all the faces that I had left behind And then Like that I realized I don't really mind Just trying to pass the time but you're still on my mind And I can't bring myself to admit That you tore my heart into a million little pieces And now I can't feel a thing Not that I want to anyway

Falling Apart 03:56
lyrics
buy track
It's Been a year since I lost you I don't know how I made it through without your touch your warm embrace This place inside an empty space Can't help myself when I hold you In my dreams you're here with me I dance all night you're here with me But when I wake You're lost to me again I hear your voice before I wake but you're not there beside me Letting go of you seems impossible You're presence i can't shake it I won't shake it oh no no not yet It's like I'm stuck. My prison cell It holds me back from moving on What must I give for one last kiss What must I do to make you live again

Time To Drown 03:21
lyrics
buy track
Build it up 'till you lose count Don't throw a single cent away Not you stash that you keep aside What you need for a rainy day Well newsflash it's pouring It's raining cats and dogs Torrential downpour its time to part Newsflash it's pouring It's raining cats and dogs Torrential downpour its time to part Or time to drown Build and build....and builds some more not a cent is wasted on your way Line your pockets, grease your palms You never know it might rain one day See what you didn't realize mate Is friends and love cannot be bought This little building your working on Is your very own prison cell Still you build brick after brick Dollar after dollar bricks and chains This little dividend you've made your life Divides you from a wealth so great

Plastic Fantastic 03:08
lyrics
buy track
Fantastic plastic what a wonderful thing You can find it in just about anything Shoes and cars and money too They'll even make a body part just for you You name it it's yours Whatever you want Just whack it on the plastic regardless of cost With our eyes wide shut the cancer grows Choking the life that we used to know and One day it'll all be gone And from a hole where the light once shone Will be a dirty great stamp you see that reads Made in Hong Kong One day it'll all be gone Just a nick and a tuck is all it takes To make your cheeks just the right shape But what does it matter anyway If your heart's still empty at the end of the day And speaking of hearts, they have them too If there isn't a ready donor for you With our eyes wide open we turn awat 'Cause it's a plastic fantastic world OK

Perfect Man 03:05
lyrics
buy track
One day you might find the perfect man Who'll read your mind and know just when to hold your hand Alas I'm not the one that you dreamed of I'm simply too innately flawed to be the one Oh and I'm so tired of being wrong Give me one more chance and I'll blow it Like I always do I'd search the globe to find the man who'd make it Though I'm not convinced a man exists who could Jump through hoops and listen at the same time 'Cause sure enough I failed that one a thousand times And when a new man comes along Rest assured he won't last long Only 'till you prove him wrong x 2
