When the morning arrives.

When the morning arrives when she opens her eyes will she look for me, will she look for me or sigh? When the morning arrives when she opens her eyes will she reach for me, will she reach for me or fly? I know the morning is for fools like me to breathe before we sink beneath the day. Waiting patiently for the good night’s sleep to leave the dreams you always hoped would stay. When the morning arrives when she opens her eyes she will rise and she will shine. I know the morning is for fools like me to breathe before we sink beneath the day. Waiting patiently for the good night’s sleep to leave the dreams you always hoped would stay. I know the morning is for fools like me to breathe before we sink beneath the day. Waiting patiently for the good night’s sleep to leave the dreams you always hoped would stay, the dreams you always hoped would stay, the dreams you always hoped would stay.  When the morning arrives when she opens her eyes will she look for me, will she look for me or sigh? When the morning arrives when she opens her eyes will she reach for me, will she reach for me or fly? When the morning arrives when she opens her eyes will she look for me, will she look for me or sigh? When the morning arrives when she opens her eyes will she reach for me, will she reach for me or fly? When the morning arrives when she opens her eyes will she look for me, will she look for me or sigh? When the morning arrives when she opens her eyes will she reach for me, will she reach for me or fly? When the morning arrives when she opens her eyes will she look for me, will she look for me or sigh? When the morning arrives when she opens her eyes will she reach for me, will she reach for me or fly?

 

The Cure For Broken Hearts (4 track demo).

She gets excited by the snow. I just want to go straight home. She's in her element in the shops. I just want this day to stop. Oh won't the world leave us in peace. I give up all my selfish little dreams to be in hers. She gets bored by the rain. I just wanna go out in it again. She's in her element with my friends. I just want this night to end. Oh won't the world leave us in peace. I give up all my selfish little dreams to be in hers. Oh won't the world leave us in peace. I give up all my selfish little dreams to be in hers. I know you're still looking for the cure for broken hearts. I know you're still looking for the cure for broken hearts. She won't grant me my wishes. She won't let me plant my kisses. So don't you go breaking my heart for she already made a start. Oh won't the world leave us in peace. I give up all my selfish little dreams to be in hers. Oh won't the world leave us in peace. I give up all my selfish little dreams to be in hers.

 

She’ll Be Home Soon (demo).

She'll be home soon the day gets darker around five. She’ll be home soon it’s only a short bicycle ride. She’ll be home soon the dinner’s on and the smells fill the room. And no dizzy heights can spoil her appetite tonight or any other night. She’ll be home soon melting snowflakes in her hair. She’ll be home soon her perfume will fill the air. She’ll be home soon with the moon or maybe half a moon. But that’ll be just fine for she always shines bright against the winter night. Yeah that’ll suit me fine for she always shines high in the night sky. She’ll be home soon.

 

The Trick (acoustic version).

She turns her dull life around with a nod and a wink. God bless her because now I can hardly think. May I stay out of your way when I've nothing nice to say, except I'm sorry. How d'you know when to go? That's the trick I wish to know, well I'm listening. She places a sparkle into these tired eyes and how I marvel just waiting on her surprise. May I stay out of your way when I've nothing nice to say, except I'm sorry. How d'you know when to go? That's the trick I wish to know, well I'm listening. May I stay out of your way when I've nothing nice to say except I'm sorry. How d'you know when to go? That's the trick I wish to know, well I'm listening. I'll just sit in the corner, oh I won't say a thing. I promise you won't even notice me or the huge hopes I bring, the huge hopes I bring.

 

Up Sticks And Go (demo).

Oh I don’t know how cold this wind can blow butI do know she’ll be waiting. I follow her footprints through the snow to where she will be waiting. And I say goodbye to everything, to everything. I wave goodbye to everything, to everything. One day soon we’ll pack our things and go to where new winds are blowing. ‘Cause if we stay here we will never know how kind those winds are blowing. And we say goodbye to everything, to everything. We wave goodbye to everything, to everything we know. Oh I’m not sure I can find my way home but I do know she’ll be waiting. So I follow her footprints through the snow to where she will be waiting. And I say goodbye to everything, to everything. I wave goodbye to everything, to everything. I say goodbye to everything, to everything. I wave goodbye to everything, to everything I know.

 

What A Wonderful View.

Innocent that look in your eye was so innocent, it took me by surprise and I don’t know what it meant or where it went but it was there. Happiness that look on your face of pure happiness, I couldn’t let it go to waste but I must confess that I couldn’t guess I had no clue and what a wonderful view, just looking at you, just looking at you. (Da da da...). Oh what a wonderful view just looking at you, just looking at you. Oh what a wonderful view just looking at you, just looking at you. Oh what a wonderful view just looking at you, just looking at you. Oh what a wonderful view just looking at you, just looking so innocent. That look in your eye was so innocent. That look in your eye was so innocent. That look in your eye was so innocent. That look in your eye was so innocent.

 

You've Lost Your Appeal (4 track demo).

Yousee I still tremble when you touch and you see how my head shakes when you make new plans for us. I know if you leave me I will be ok and I know if we survive I will only drive you away. So I fear when the moment returns and you heal, the whole idea will have lost its appeal. You know I still need my own company and you know I will leave just to breathe more comfortably. You knew it was only a matter of time before someone new replaced you in my mind. So I fear when the moment returns and you heal, the whole idea will have lost its appeal. So I fear when the moment returns and you heal, the whole idea will have lost its appeal. I knew you wouldn't phone because you only phone when I'm not at home, when I'm not at home. I knew you wouldn't phone because you only phone when I'm not at home, when I'm not at home. I fear when the moment returns and you heal, the whole idea will have lost its appeal. I fear when the moment returns and you heal, the whole idea will have lost its appeal to me, to me.

 

The Queue To Your Heart (ukulele version).

Can I feel your smile on my face so mine can be replaced when it disappears without a trace? And can I hold your words in my mouth so I can shout them out on days you are not about? And on those days you know where I will be, waiting in the queue to your heart. On those days you know where to find me, jumping the queue to your heart. Can I have your voice in my head so when I toss and turn in bed, I can hear all the words you said? And can I keep your kiss on my lips to check that it still fits on days I am missing it? And on those days you know where I will be waiting in the queue to your heart. On those days you know where to find me, jumping the queue to your heart. And on those days you know where I will be, waiting in the queue to your heart. On those days you know where to find me, jumping the queue to your heart. Do you know how I so long to be you? Do you know how I so long to be you?

 

This Goodbye Kiss (demo).

So now our night is nearly over and the rain spits down outside. This goodbye kiss could last an hour this goodbye kiss could last all night. Oh I never thought for a moment that I would never want to go back home (home). And now we’re walking in a stupor as we take turns pushing your bike. This goodbye kiss could last a minute this goodbye kiss could last all night. Oh I never thought for a moment that I would never want to go back home (home). So now we’re climbing up your staircase and we’re beaming in the light. This goodbye kiss could last a second this goodbye kiss could last all night. Oh I never thought for a moment that I would never want to go back home (home) home (home).

 

Never Let Me Down.

When I believed in nothing I called her name. Trapped in a high-dollar joint in some place I called hername. And though my days were slipping by and nights so cruel I thought I'ddie. She danced her little dance 'till it made me cry she was shaking like thishoney doing that. When I needed soul revival I called your name. When I wasfalling to pieces I screamed in pain. Your soothing hand that turned me round alove so real swept over me. You danced your little dance 'till it made me cryyou were shaking like this honey doing that. Never let me down she never let me down. Never let me down she never let me down. When all your faith is failing, call my name. When you've got nothing coming, call my name. I'll be strong for all it takes I'll cover your head till the bad stuff breaks. I'll dance my little dance till it makes you smile shaking like this honey doing that. Never let you down I'll never let you down. Never let you down. I'll never let you down. Oh no.

 

Not Sleeping The Same Way (Wurlitzer version).

I'm sad to see it's morning. The night was all I wanted for you. I wait for you to tell me if the dreams that you've been making have come true. I'm not sleeping the same way. I'm not sleeping the same way. I'm sad to see it's morning. The night always runs faster than the day. I wait for you to kiss me before the dreams that I've been making run away. I'm not sleeping the same way. I'm not sleeping the same way. I'm not sleeping the same way. I'm not sleeping the same way.

 

I Hope You’ll Always Be There (acoustic version)

When I feel lonely I need you to be where I can see you, where you can see me. Need you to hold me, need you to want me in your arms. When I feel doubtful I need to see your eyes when I'm without you I need the time to fly, bringing you closer, bringing you back into my arms. Hope you'll always be there, I hope you'll always be there. I hope you'll always be there beating with me. When I catch no sleep whenever I close my eyes, when I find no peace, all of my hope dies, I long to be near you, I long to be with you in your arms. When I feel jealous of the time we spend apart, when I feel jealous I long to break your heart, it's ‘cause I need you It's ‘cause I want you in my arms. Hope you'll always be there, I hope you'll always be there, I hope you'll always be there beating with me. Hope you'll always be there, I hope you'll always be there, I hope you'll always be there, beating with me. (When I get lonely I need you to be where I can see you and where you can see me) I hope you'll always be there ( I need you to hold me I need you to want me in your arms) I hope you'll always be there beating with me.

The Only Girl

You wear me out without a doubt too much talking in your sleep through the night. I cannot win, a fix I’m in, too much sugar in your tea silly me. Yet still the only girl that I miss is you and if I can’t steal one more kiss from you then it could colour my summer blue for sure. So don’t ignore it anymore, don’t ignore it anymore. Yes becomes maybe which soon becomes no and then you pull that face which means it’s time for me to go. Now if the wind changes, you’ll have to stay that way, unable to ever show your face again. Yet still the only girl that I miss is you and if I can’t steal one more kiss from you then it could colour my summer blue for sure. Yeah still the only girl that I miss is you and if I can’t steal one more kiss from you then it could colour my summer blue for sure. So don’t ignore it anymore, don’t ignore it anymore. And in the time that it takes to change your mind I hope that you will find me still waiting. In the time that it takes to change your mind I hope that you will find me still waiting.

 

You’ve Lost Your Appeal (slow version)

You see I still tremble when you touch and you see how my head shakes when you make new plans for us. I know if you leave me I will be ok and I know if we survive I will only drive you away. I fear when the moment returns and you heal, the whole idea will have lost its appeal. You know I still need my own company and you know I will leave just to breathe more comfortably. You knew it was only a matter of time before someone new replaced you in my mind. I fear when the moment returns and you heal, the whole idea will have lost its appeal. I fear when the moment returns and you heal, the whole idea will have lost its appeal. I knew you wouldn't phone because you only phone when I'm not at home, when I'm not at home. I fear when the moment returns and you heal, the whole idea will have lost its appeal. I fear when the moment returns and you heal, the whole idea will have lost its appeal to me, to me.

 

Change With The Season (demo)

Yes I made mistakes but I still placed that smile upon your face, just like the way that spring came and lightened everything. And yes it got me down but I still ran all the way across town to try to knock your worries down, to try to knock your worries down. And if everything will change with the season, then you don’t need to give me a reason. Yes it’s hard to do but I plan to be always here for you, through your summer thrills and your winter chills. And when things get you down I will run all the way across town just to knock your worries down, just to knock your worries down. And if everything does change with the season then you don’t need to give me a reason because if everything does change with the season, then I don’t need to hear a good reason.

 

Where Happiness Begins (4 track demo).

I was just about to kiss your smile but there were too many eyes looking our way. I know how to break your heartstrings, I know where happiness begins. I'll place a kiss upon your lips and I won't let it dry, I'll look you in the eye and I won't look away. I'll place a kiss upon your lips and I won't let it dry, I'll look you in the eye, I won't look away. I know I should have told you that I can only carry the weight of my own little world on my shoulders. I know what the telephone rings bring, I know where happiness begins. I'll place a kiss upon your lips, I won't let it dry. I'll look you in the eye, I won't look away. I'll place a kiss upon your lips, I won't let it dry. I'll look you in the eye, I won't look away. I'll place a kiss upon your lips, I won't let it dry. I'll look you in the eye, I won't look away. I'll place a kiss upon your lips, I won't let it dry. I'll look you in the eye, I won't look away. If I could just throw my arms around you, I promise to leave you exactly as I found you, as I found you.

Grace.

It’s a shame you feel so sour but my friend it only lasts for hours. I can see it’s only on the surface, ‘cause there’s love in your face. Grace, grace, I need your grace ’cause your charm keeps me warm when I feel so out of place. It’s a shame you feel so bitter but you’ll feel better come the morning. I know it’s hard to keep your guard, I know it’s sad and it drives you mad. Grace, grace, I need your grace ’cause your charm keeps me warm when I feel so out of date. Grace, grace, I need your grace, ’cause your charm keeps me warm when I feel so out of place. Grace, grace, I need your grace ’cause your charm keeps me warm when I feel so out of date. Grace, grace, I need your grace ’cause your charm keeps me warm when I feel so out of place.

 

Tongues (4 track demo).

Thank you for making eyes at me you help me feel less ordinary. Now feel free to let your eyes undress me. I was waiting for your shadow to come next to me but you walk too slow and I walk too quickly. And the awkward silences when nothing's said or done, I promise I won't spend them untying my tongue. The awkward silences when nothing's said or done, I promise I won't spend them untying my tongue. You look and taste sweet to me unafraid to touch my knees or hold my hand, as you talk to me. In the black taxi cab, we kiss with tongues and laugh. It's cold as we hold each other. My bed is warm and waiting. And the awkward silences when nothing's said or done, I promise I won't spend them untying my tongue. Those awkward silences when nothing's said or done, I promise I won't spend them untying my tongue. And in the morning when you went my bed kept your scent. And the awkward silences when nothing's said or done I promise I won't spend them untying my tongue. The awkward silences when nothing's said or done I promise I won't spend them untying my tongue. The awkward silences when nothing's said or done... I promise I won't spend them untying my tongue.

 

Slipped Away (demo).

You couldn’t paint the picture you couldn’t find the words. You couldn’t make it up to her oh you could only make things worse. So you slipped away you took a holiday, you slipped away you took a holiday. You couldn’t catch up with her she was too fast for you. You couldn’t find the answer oh there was sweet nothing you could do. So you slipped away you took a holiday, you slipped away you took a holiday. You slipped away you took a holiday. You slipped away you took a holiday and what a time to go knee deep in snow. Wherever the wind blows you can go. You couldn’t draw the picture you couldn’t find the words. You couldn’t make it up to her oh you could only make things worse. So you slipped away you took a holiday. You slipped away you took a holiday. You slipped away you took a holiday. Yeah you slipped away you took a holiday, you took a holiday.

 

Cold Feet.

Don’t leave me if you know we still have places to go, we still have feelings to show. And don’t kiss me if you’re sure you don’t crave it anymore, you don’t savour it at all. If there’s something in my room that makes me think of you then I am doomed to weeks of restless dreams where it’s much harder than it seems to work out what they mean. Don’t be afraid to say if I’m getting in your way then I wouldn’t want to stay. And don’t hold me if you’re sure you don’t crave it anymore you don’t savour it at all. If there’s something in my room that makes me think of you then I am doomed to weeks of restless dreams where it’s much harder than it seems to work out what they mean. So if I get cold feet walking down your street we might never meet again.

On those days you know where to find me jumping the queue to your heart. Do you know how I so long to be you? Do you know how I so long to be you?

 

Spent Too Long Walking With No Heart To Follow (demo).

Oh don’t remind time that it’s not on your side for it can’t be kind to you anymore. You spent too long walking with no heart to follow looking out for that bow and arrow. You took the long road you took the wrong road all around the houses and across the fields. Too long walking with no heart to follow, looking out for that bow and arrow. And when love hit you, you were more than ready, so hopelessly spoken for so calm and so steady, so hopelessly spoken for so calm and so ready. So don’t remind time that it’s not on your side for it won’t be kind to you anymore. You were too long walking with no heart to follow, looking out for that bow and arrow. And when love hit you, you were more than ready, so hopelessly spoken for so calm and so steady, so hopelessly spoken for so calm and so ready. And when love hit you, you were more than ready, so hopelessly spoken for so calm and so steady, so hopelessly spoken for so calm and so ready.

 

We Didn't Move A Muscle (demo).
