A Northern Soul

I wanted to tell you my story
I wanted to tell you my story
How my life seemed to change in a matter of days
How my life seemed to change in a matter of days
The heavens break I am walking tall
The heavens break i am walking tall
How come change always seems to bring the rain
How come change always seems to bring the rain


Stormy clouds, new horizons

Come and get it, if you want to
Stormy clouds, new horizons
So hop on the train 'Cause it kills the pain
Come and get it, if you want to
Blues player going to another town
So hop on the train 'cause it kills the pain
Believe me this boy here is sinking
Blues player going to another town
Just drinking
Believe me this boy here is sinking

Just drinking
These streets, these times

They tie me down through with you

But I feel no pain
These streets, these times
Stormy clouds, new horizons
They tie me down through with you
But i feel no pain
Stormy clouds, new horizons

Life's An Ocean
Life's an ocean
Too much commotion, too much emotion
Too much commotion, too much emotion
Dragging me down
Dragging me down
Living for today, don't have time to pray
Living for today, don't have time to pray
Ready for the game
Ready for the game
Take a line of fickle flame
Take a line of fickle flame


Imagine the future

Woke up with a scream
Imagine the future
I was buying some feelings
Woke up with a scream
From a vending machine
I was buying some feelings
Say that I will see
From a vending machine
Something more than I have
Say that i will see
There's something inside of me
Something more than i have
Crying out for something else
There's something inside of me
And if someone hears my scream
Crying out for something else
Put it in a letter to me
And if someone hears my scream
Slippery slimy road down
Put it in a letter to me

Slippery slimy road down
Life's an ocean too much commotion



Not enough emotion to satisfy me
Life's an ocean too much commotion
Slippery slidy road down

It's slippery slidy road down


Not enough emotion to satisfy me
Hold my hand and we'll walk down
Slippery slidy road down
Dry those eyes and we'll walk down
It's slippery slidy road down


Slippery slidy road down

Life's an ocean, life's an ocean
Hold my hand and we'll walk down
Too much commotion, too much emotion
Dry those eyes and we'll walk down


Slippery slidy road down
Life's an ocean, life's an ocean
Too much commotion, too much emotion

I wander lonely streets
I wander lonely streets
Behind where the old Thames does flow
Behind where the old thames does flow
And in every face I meet
And in every face i meet
Reminds me of what I have run from
Reminds me of what i have run from


In every man, in every hand
In every man, in every hand
In every kiss, you understand
In every kiss, you understand
That living is for other men
That living is for other men
I hope you two will understand
I hope you two will understand


I've got to tell you my tale

Of how I loved and how I failed
I've got to tell you my tale
I hope you understand
Of how i loved and how i failed

I hope you understand
I've got to tell you my tale

Of how I loved and how I failed

I hope you understand
I've got to tell you my tale
These feelings should not be in the man
Of how i loved and how i failed

I hope you understand
In every child, in every eye
These feelings should not be in the man
In every sky, above my head

I hope that I know

So come with me in bed
In every child, in every eye
Because it's you and me, we're history
In every sky, above my head
There ain't nothing left to say
I hope that i know
When I will get you alone
So come with me in bed

Because it's you and me, we're history
Maybe we could find a room
There ain't nothing left to say
Where we could see what we should do
When i will get you alone
Maybe you know it's true

Living with me is like keeping a fool


Maybe we could find a room
In every man, in every hand
Where we could see what we should do
In every kiss, you understand
Maybe you know it's true
That living is for other men
Living with me is like keeping a fool
I hope you know that I am me so come on

I'm thinking about history

And I'm living for history
In every man, in every hand
And I think you know about me
In every kiss, you understand
Cause I am
That living is for other men

I hope you know that i am me so come on
And one and one is two
I'm thinking about history
But three is company
And i'm living for history
When you're thinking about the things you do
And i think you know about me
And you're thinking about the things you do
Cause i am
I want to tell you my tale

How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail

I hope you understand there's more in a smile than in a hand
And one and one is two
In every sky, in every kiss
But three is company
There's something that I might have missed
When you're thinking about the things you do

And you're thinking about the things you do
Why am I going to
I want to tell you my tale
A place that now belongs to you
How i fell in love and jumped out on my bail
But you were weak and so was I
I hope you understand there's more in a smile than in a hand
Let's pick it up, let's even try
In every sky, in every kiss
To live today, so why not smile
There's something that i might have missed
Don't dream away your life 'Cause it is mine

Is that a crime (repeat) this life is mine

The bed ain't made but it's filled full of hope
Why am i going to
I've got a skin full of dope
A place that now belongs to you
But you were weak and so was i
Let's pick it up, let's even try
To live today, so why not smile
Don't dream away your life 'cause it is mine
Is that a crime (repeat) this life is mine
The bed ain't made but it's filled full of hope
I've got a skin full of dope

A New Decade
A new decade
The radio plays the sounds we made
The radio plays the sounds we made
And everything seems to feel just right
And everything seems to feel just right
Coming through your lonely mind
Coming through your lonely mind
Well I've seen things
Well i've seen things
That scarred and bruised and left me blind
That scarred and bruised and left me blind
So come on, listen along with me
So come on, listen along with me
I think you need a little company
I think you need a little company


And how long will I run for?

Who am I running from?
And how long will i run for?

Who am i running from?
And it makes sense

The youth coming up and making you dance

'Cause I've got some living inside of me
And it makes sense
So come on I could use the company
The youth coming up and making you dance

'cause i've got some living inside of me
And how long will I run for?
So come on i could use the company
Who am I running from?

But now I've seen my face in a cardboard wall

Nobody comes, nobody calls
And how long will i run for?

Who am i running from?
How long will I run for?
But now i've seen my face in a cardboard wall
Who am I running from?
Nobody comes, nobody calls
Teenage tears sting my eyeballs

In a town where I wasn't born

And I will never suffer
How long will i run for?
So come on, come on, come on
Who am i running from?
But now I see my face in a cardboard wall
Teenage tears sting my eyeballs
Nobody comes, nobody calls
In a town where i wasn't born

And i will never suffer
If you're looking for me
So come on, come on, come on
I'm there and it's you
But now i see my face in a cardboard wall
If you're looking for me out there it's true
Nobody comes, nobody calls
If you're looking for

I'll be looking for you

If you're looking for me
If you're looking for me
Then I'm looking for you
I'm there and it's you
If you're looking for me
If you're looking for me out there it's true
Then I'm looking for you
If you're looking for
If you're looking for me
I'll be looking for you
Then I'm looking for you
If you're looking for me
Then i'm looking for you
If you're looking for me
Then i'm looking for you
If you're looking for me
Then i'm looking for you

I stand accused just like you
I stand accused just like you
For being born without a silver spoon
For being born without a silver spoon
Stood at the top of a hill
Stood at the top of a hill
Over my town I was found
Over my town i was found


I've been on the shelf too long

Sitting at home in my bed too long
I've been on the shelf too long
Got my things and now I'm gone
Sitting at home in my bed too long
How's the world gonna from take me?
Got my things and now i'm gone

How's the world gonna from take me?
Finding myself used to be hard

But now I see the light

If love is a drug
Finding myself used to be hard
Then I don't need it
But now i see the light

If love is a drug
I've been on the shelf too long
Then i don't need it
Sitting at home in my bed too long

Now it's time to hear my song

How are you gonna take it?
I've been on the shelf too long

Sitting at home in my bed too long
I've been on the shelf too long
Now it's time to hear my song
Think the words without the song
How are you gonna take it?
Never had a way to go

Tell me now I'm taking it

Never had a way to go

Tell me now i'm taking it
We've got a lot of living to do
I've been on the shelf too long
There's a door in my mind that's open wide
I've been on the shelf too long
Come inside come inside
I've been on the shelf too long


Jesus never saved me

He'll never save you too, and you know!
We've got a lot of living to do
I've got a little sticker on the back of my boot
There's a door in my mind that's open wide
This is music
Come inside come inside


And now I see the light shining bright in my eyes

If love is the drug then it ain't for me
Jesus never saved me
Well music is my life
He'll never save you too, and you know!
And loved by me
I've got a little sticker on the back of my boot
I'm gonna move on the floor with my sweet young thing
This is music
Down down down we go till we reach the bottom

Of our soul with this is music

And now i see the light shining bright in my eyes
If love is the drug then it ain't for me
Well music is my life
And loved by me
I'm gonna move on the floor with my sweet young thing
Down down down we go till we reach the bottom
Of our soul with this is music
