1. _ Don't Believe in Love
I wanna go to bed
With arms around me
But wake up on my own
Pretend
That I'm still sleeping
Until you go home
Oh,
I can't look at you
This morning
I should probably have a sign
That says
Leave right now or quicker
You've overstayed your time
If I don't believe in love
Nothing will last for me
If I don't believe in love
Nothing is safe for me
When I don't believe in love
You're too close to me
And that's why
You have to leave
Maybe I slept peaceful
On your shoulder
Your arm warm around my side
But it's different now
It's morning
And I can't face your smile
The second that I feel
Your safe hands
Reaching out for mine
I slip away and out of sight
You've over stayed your time
If I don't believe in love
Nothing is good for me
If I don't believe in love
Nothing will last for me
If I don't believe in love
Nothing is new for me
Nothing is warm for me
And nothing is real for me
If I don't believe in love
Nothing is good for me
If I don't believe in love
Nothing will last for me
When I don't believe in love
Nothing is new for me
Nothing is warm for me
And nothing is real for me
If I don't believe in love
Why do you care for me?
When I don't believe in love
Nothing is real for me
If I don't believe in love
You're getting too close to me
And that's why you have to leave
And that's why you have to leave
If I don't believe in love
If I don't believe in love
If I don't believe in love
Nothing is left for me
If I don't believe in love
You're too good for me.

2. _ Us 2 Little Gods
Walking home, burnt and red
Sticky thin, he said
Let us go down in the woods
Can you be careful she said
Us 2 little gods with the world at our feet
Hmm, hmm,
Sticky thin, how you've grown they said
You'll never fit in your long white dress
When's he going to try and get a job
I'm just thankful for what we've got she said
Us 2 little gods with the world at our feet
Hmm, hmm,
Just this life, I need no other
Just this day, I need no more
Just this moment, let it all stop here
Let it all stop here, I've had my fill.
Summer's here, early again
Let's take the kid and go and celebrate
Drinking beer, moon on the left
And there's the sun, hold my hand he said
Us 3 little gods, with the world at our feet
Just this day, I need no other
Just this life, I need no more
Just this moment, let it all stop here
Let it all stop here, I've had my fill.
Just this life, I need no other
Just this night, I need no more
Just this moment, let it all stop here
Let it all stop here, I've had my fill.
Just this life, I need no other
Just this day, I need no more
Just this moment, let it all stop here
I've had my fill.
Hmm, hmm,
Hmm, hmm,
Hmm, hmm

3. _ Burnin Love
I found no peace
In the lies that I've told,
I'm only hurt by the blows that get withheld
The sharper I get cut
The harder I get held
More that I believe
That you will come to me
[Chorus]
Without you I've been burning love
Ohh,
You're the one that I've been calling for
Ohh,
Without you I've been burning love
Ohh,
You're the one that I've been calling for
I found no peace
In the lies that I've told,
I'm only hurt by the blows that get withheld
The sharper I get cut
The harder I get held
More that I believe
That you will come to me
[Chorus]
Out you I've been burning love
Ohh,
You're the one that I've been calling for
[Chorus]

4. _ Quiet Times
You ask me where I go tonight, I go back to today last year.
when we knew how to make each other happier, now there's hope with everything.
It's hard enough to feel the world as it is, and hold on anything.
Without these quiet times you've brought 'round here.
I'm gonna have to run away, I'm sure that I belong some other place.
I've seen another side of all, I've seen it keeps me wondering where my family is.
Its hard enough to see the world as it is, and hold on anything.
Without these quiet times coming 'round here.
Now I miss you,
Now I want you,
But I can't have you,
Even when you're here
I suppose I have to take you with me, broken mind I'd rather leave you here.
To forget everything you've seen and known, erase every idea.
And you walk up in the street, and hold my hand and smile.
Well I won't be taken in, 'cause I know how it turns out.
And it takes me back to these quiet times coming 'round here.
Now I miss you,
Now I want you,
You're not coming back,
And I need you,
But I can't have you,
Even when you're here
Now I miss you,
Now I want you,
You're not coming back,
And I need you,
But I can't have you,
Even when you're here.

5. _ Look No Further
I might have been a singer
Who sailed around the world
A gambler who wins millions
And spent it all on girls
I might have been a poet
Who walked upon the moon
A scientist who'd tell the world
I'd discovered something new
I might have loved a king
Been the one to end a war
A criminal who drank champagne
And never could be caught
But among your books
Among your clothes
Among the noise and fuss
I've let it go
[Chorus]
I can stop and catch my breathe
And Look no further for happiness
And I will not turn again
'Cause my heart has found it's home
Everyone I'll never meet
And the friends I won't now make
The adventures that they could have been
And the risks I'll never take
But among your books
Among your clothes
Among your noise and fuss
I've let it go
[Chorus]

6. _ Let's Do the Things We Normally Do
Let's pretend that we'll be here tomorrow
And I'll try for you to be a little more on time
I know you need to say you know you've let me down
But you haven't, and it's hard to talk with people all around
Please don't say how proud you are
Let's do the things we normally do
Well I'll say see you later
You'll sing a line or two
From your rebel songs sung out of tune
Don't hold my hand for longer than you need to
Lets forget that we're here and make some plans
We'll go for walks
Sit together on the bench we always sat
I'll tell you every little detail of my day and so will you
But don't try to stay awake
I'm feeling tired too
This is just another day
Let's do the things we normally do
Well I'll say see you later you'll sing a line or two
From your rebel songs sung out of tune
Don't hold my hand for longer than you need to
Armored cars and tanks and guns, came to take away our sons
And everybody stood behind
The man behind the wire
There's a fight to love
A fight to have
Your bed's a battlefield and back
And all of this will just be stripped away
Let's do the things we normally do
I'll say see you later you'll sing a line or two
From your rebel songs sung out of tune
Don't hold my hand for longer than you need to
Don't look me in the eye more than you need to
Don't try to say goodbye if I don't want to
Don't say how proud you are
And say I'm far away
And take along
And say a word
And I can say I fade away

7. _ It Comes and It Goes
Some days I wanna, and some days I don't.
Sometimes I can feel it, and suddenly its gone
Some days I can tell you the truth, and some days I just don't.
Only a change of mood sun goes down someone says something too quick or too soon,
A touch not made, one made too late army's of words can not hope to contain
Then it comes and it goes.
And I have no control.
Some days I can think clear and some days I wont.
Sometimes I can feel it and suddenly its gone
Some days I am strong and some days my skin's broken and thin.
That's when it feels and it takes what it needs and it leaves before I get to know,
Its only a step away moments that army's of words can not hope to contain
Then it comes and it goes.
And I cant make it home.
And there's nothing at home.
And it breaks me when it goes.
Some days I wanna, and some days I don't.
Sometimes I can feel it and suddenly its gone
Some days I can tell you the truth and some days I just don't.
Only a change of mood dream comes out someone does something too quick or too soon,
A move not made, one made too late army's of words can not hope to contain
Then it comes and it goes.
And I seem to hope
And there's nothing at home.
And it breaks me when it goes.

8. _ Never Want to Say It's Love
I could put it down to being tired,
Or coming home to an empty house,
A passing moment,
A little man
No one around to stop me writing to you.
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
I could apologize,
And say tear it up,
And put it down to the pills I've taken
Seeing my friends with their lives moved on
Well I've been gently drifting
[Chorus]
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
I felt the same today
As I was feeling yesterday
It'll be the same tomorrow
From then on it won't change
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
My home is home
And I'm settled now
I've made it through the restless phase
I have no reason to get bored anymore
My friends are around and your name comes up
Asking if I ever heard from you
I'm keeping it quiet about those words to you
But I meant every word that I said
I stand by every word that I said
[Chorus: x2]
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of.

9. _ Day Before the Day
Speeches won't be made today, clocks will carry on
Flowers won't be left in parks, work will still be done
People won't be dressed in black, and babies will be born
No flags will fly, the sun will rise,
But we know that you are gone
You who love to love, and believed we can never give enough
It wakes me every single night, thinking through the day
Did you stop at any time, have doubts at any stage?
Were you calm or were you numb, or happy just to get it done?
Well I've lived my life without regret, until today
You who love to love, and believed we can never give enough
I didn't get to say goodbye, the day before the day
Was trying to get to work on time, and that's why I turned away
And missed the most important thing, you've ever tried to say
Well I've lived my life without regret until today
You who love to love, and believed we can never give enough
And you who hoped that underneath, we all felt the same
That was until the day before the day
The day before the day
The day before the day
Oh, the day before the day
The day before the day
Oh, the day before the day
Oh, the day before the day
Oh, the day before the day.

10. _ Grafton Street
No more trips to Grafton Street,
No more going there,
To see you lying still,
While we all come and go.
No more watching sunsets,
It seems like summer's holding on.
And no more standing quietly at your window.
No more driving down your road,
Wondering when you'll be home.
And no more peace when they all leave
And leave us two alone.
And time we always lose is finally found here with you.
My love, I know we're losing but I will stand here by you.
No more calling friends from the car saying "I don't know when,
I'll be there but I'll do my best to come."
No more letting you warm my hands,
No more trying to take it in.
And no more saying "goodbye for the last time again"
And no more saying "goodbye for the last time again"
And time we always lose is finally found here with you.
My love, I know you're leaving but I will stand here by you.
No more trips to Grafton Street,
No more going there,
No more sitting up all night,
Waiting for any word.
Nothing's left that's safe here now,
Nothing will bring you home
Nothing can bring us the peace
We had in Grafton Street.

11. _ Northern Skies
"I have returned to the northern skies"
I have returned to the northern skies,
Where the summer had not touched
The clouds that pass above.
Oh, and I have returned to the somber grace
Of the days too early to come, and too early to stay.
Oh I have left a million stars,
And an ocean light, and clearly blue.
I have left the warmth of the sun
And a million adventures not yet begun.
[Chorus]
For once, there was beauty here for me
Under the wide Northern skies
And once, there was magic here for me
Under the wide Northern skies
I saw trees as green and as dark as blue
I break in poetry the deeper roots
And now I know, this is lonely country
And it leads me only, back to the sea
[Chorus]
I have returned, to Northern skies
Where summer hasn't touched
The clouds that pass above
I have returned, to the somber grace
Days too early to come, too early to stay
[Chorus]
And once there was beauty here for me
Under the wide Northern skies
And once there was magic here for me
Under the wide Northern skies
Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm
I have returned
Mmm, mmm
I have returned
Ohh, ohh
I have returned
Mmm, mmm
