1. _ Clues
I'll meet'cha on a bus at dawn
An open top one if it's warm
And if the flowers are in bloom
I'll lose myself to you
I'll be whistling down a street
You'll hear our footsteps start to meet
Then the craziness begins
An' like chalk and cheese
We'll shoot the breeze
Heading up west
In an open top deck
Trying to remember just what for
Then we'll talk for hours and hours
About nothing much at all
With your long hair falling down
In curl after curl
And i too shy to ask
What i really want to do
Racked, with my own self doubt
I stumble and fall
Like a fool in love
My mind in the air
Heaven knows where
Yeh, heading up west
In an open top deck
Trying to remember just what for

2. _ Bull-rush
In a momentary lapse of my condition
That sent me tumbling down into a deep despair
Lost and dazed so i had no real recollection
Until the rain cleared the air
When you wake to find that everything has left you
And the clothes you wear belong to someone else
See your shadow chasing off towards the shore line
Drifting into emptiness
There are bullrushes outside my window
And their leaves whisper words in the wind
Tomorrow i'll walk to the harbour
And catch the first boat that's coming in
Like a child too small to reach the front door handle
Or maybe just too scared to know what i would find
Now i feel i'm strong enough to take the slow ride
Not knowing when i will arrive
I do believe i'm going home
'cause i don't call this place my own
I'm missing what i had
Happy times and sad
More than i ever thought could be

3. _ New Thing
The place in mind is always sweet
It's wonderful and time to meet
Here's a new thing - gotta change up
Got to let go of the past
For a new thing - for some new ground
Only change will make it last
The hardest thing is letting go
But once you do, life starts to flow
Here's a new thing - gotta change up
Got to let go of the past
For a new thing - for some new ground
Only change will make it last
The dream in mind is always sweet
It's wonderful and time to meet
The race in time - is us to live
The dream in mind is peace you see
If you want it, you got it
You got to get it

4. _ Bitterness Rising - Paul Weller
Unfit to live in - just about fit to burst
Like the banks of a swollen river
As bitterness does its worst
Working on your feelings - eating you all up
But you have to shake that shit to move on
An' let love carry you on up -
(it's just) bitterness rising - taking you off
Bitterness rising - you gotta shake those feelings off
Unfair to give in - and never changes course
If you have the choice before you
You must take it with a force
Or the past will take you - keep you from the truth
As bitterness rises - from the ashes of your youth
(it's just) bitterness rising - taking you off
Bitterness rising - you gotta shake those feelings off
Moments in time
Finding the space
To be what'cha wanna be
The things you never got
Life you never had
The dreams that you once dreamed
Waiting your time - finding the space
To be what'cha wanna be
Well, just be!
Or the past will take you - keep you from the truth
As bitterness rises - from the ashes of your youth
(it's just) bitterness rising - taking you off
Bitterness rising - you gotta shake those feelings off

5. _ Amongst Butterflies - Paul Weller
The sunny sand we ran along
Everyday began upon
The summer's kiss of love and adventure
And every june that we fell into
Left a mark upon us too
Etched forever as a moment we'd remember
And we'd remember
The empty woods where we played
Every hour of every day
The holidays went on forever
And in the woods was a soldier's tomb
The ghost of which looked over you
And god was there amongst the trees
We felt his whisper as the summer's breeze
And every night and every day
I learnt to love it in a special way
As i remember
What it's like to walk amongst butterflies

6. _ Round & Round
Only surface - jus' skin deep
When words fly like angels around your feet
Need the something - feel real inside
Cling together - as together we ride
Round and round and up and down
Here we go in this moment in time
Round and round and up and down
Here we go again -
Movin' up to collect our prizes
Sinkin' fast into life's surprises
Win today but lose tomorrow
Lending what we just can't borrow
Time around us - time to live
Getting back everything we give
Freedoms truth is the only truth
To save the day and pave the route
Be the first one on your block
To know the time and own a clock
Whose hands point upwards to the stars
To tell us if our future's far

7. _ Kosmos
Life's complexities trouble your rise,
As you attempt to ascend into the high,
Is there nowhere else left to run,
But to the kosmos - men gaze - to look for heaven.
Flying high - never come down
Flying high - don't know how to come down
Take a ride into the soon,
Be the first one on the moon,
Take a slide - come back to earth,
But it's to the kosmos - men dare - to look for something.
Flying high - never come down
Flying high - don't know how to come down
No time to spare - destiny is here
No time to lose - better if we choose
Less time to share
People stop and stare,
To look for hope above the clouds
To look for heaven
A world away, a million light years
That's how far destruction seems
Now our dreams are sad, slow creatures
Dying to know - who am i? - what am i?
Where am i to go?

8. _ The Strange Museum
Come on in - admissions free
I won't refuse - those who wanna see
Bring your loved ones - those you hold dear
Bring them all - there's no restrictions here
But don't look for blame - as an easy escape
There's nothing on show - that isn't your shame
So come on in - it's a small price to pay
And i won't refuse - those who've lost their way -
Said it's strange......

9. _ Above The Clouds
Autumn blew its leaves at me,
Threatening winter as i walked.
Summer always goes so quick, barely stopping like my thoughts.
Which dip and spin and change so fast
I have to wonder - will i last.
Through the windows of the train,
I caught reflections of a paper cup,
Hanging small in a pale blue sky,
Never knowing which way's up.
Above the clouds, what's to be found,
I have to wonder - will i be around.
As my anger shouts - at my own self doubt,
So a madness creeps - into my dreams
When you're scared of living - but afraid to die
I get scared of giving - and i must find the faith to beat it
I must be me that's rushing by,
Time just lingers on the wind.
Bristlin' through my open fears,
I wonder what it's going to bring.
Above the clouds, what's to be found,
I have to wonder - will i be around.
Run and hide, run and hide
I catch the sail at evening's tide.

10. _ Into Tomorrow
Into the mists of time and space
Where we have no say over date and place
Don't get embarrassed if it happens a lot,
That you don't know how you started or where you're gonna stop
And if at times it seems insane - all the tears in searching;
Turning all your joy to pain - in pursuit of learning;
Buy a dream and hideaway - can't escape the sorrow;
Your mojo will have no effect - as we head into tomorrow
Round and round like a twisted wheel
Spinning in attempt to find the feel
Find the path that will help us find
A feeling of control over lives and minds
And if at times it seems insane - all the tears in searching;
Turning all your joy to pain - in pursuit of learning;
Buy a dream and hideaway - can't escape the sorrow;
Your mojo will have no effect - as we head
Into the stars and always up
Drinking from a broken cup
Whose golden gleam is fading fast
Praying that it has not passed
Into tomorrow

11. _ Remember How We Started
Remember how we started on a summer's night
To drunk to care abut what might
You turned my head to kiss your lips
Time stood still as my heart skipped a beat
And if i could i'd take your hand
And lead you off back to the past
I know a trail - a secret mile
An' better to cry than never smile
The moonlight shining through your flowered curtains
I think we knew it was us for certain
An' just the thing that we hoped for
Was building up into something more
Oh i've been searching, searching
Trying to find the words to say
Oh i've been searching, searching
Trying to get back to the love we made - yesterday
Remember how we started on a summer's night
Too young to know about what might
And just as well
As we might not
Of ever started on this course at all

12. _ I Didn't Mean To Hurt You
I've heard them all talking i guess you have too
Adding flickers to the flame
How i've treated you
I take the blame
But let me say - that they don't know
The really don't know - the fools don't know
That i really didn't mean to hurt you.
Oh darling, i didn't mean to hurt you
Please believe me when i say - that i didn't mean to hurt you girl.
Whatever they tell you
There's more i could say
Lending motion to the wheel
How you built me up
When i was falling down
But who knows - you just might find
Just might find - that i'm just your kind
And i really didn't mean to hurt you.
And tho' i was looking there for something
Some things have no meaning
While i was looking there for something
Everything had gone
And still as i looked; i lived
And still as i lived; i wondered.
