So I'll take you back
To where I first saw you
Our eyes met from across the room
Your Blonde Hair and a Perfect smile
Dimples in your cheek
And an uptown style
You said that you like the way that I sing
I said Can I ask you something?
Do you wanna spend some time
To see what's in this head of mine
9 Hours is all it took to be alone
You gave me a kiss, I handed you my phone
Can I have your number?
You can sure as hell have mine
There's just something about you
You can call me anytime
So we went outside
To where the night was colder
Put my coat across your shoulder
And my hand around your waist
Telling by the look that's on your face
You want the same thing that I do
I want to get to know
Do you wanna spend the night
To see what's in this head of mine
CHORUS
What's your favourite movie?
What's your star sign?
What's your favourite song?
Tell me yours, I'll tell you mine
Where do you see yourself
When you grow old?
I know we got all night
But darling let's take it slow
CHORUS

Let Loose

You never call me anymore
You said you would
And that’s what friends are for
You said you don’t wanna bother me
I said you should
If that’s what you need
Just call me tonight
I’ll make it alright
This world gets shit sometimes
You gotta let loose
Let it sail on by
I know, I’ve been there before
This world gets shit sometimes
You gotta let loose
Let it sail on by
I know, I’ve been there before
Been there before
It’s been a long and tiring year
You lost control when you tried to steer
Some things just fell out of your reach
You held it in, you’re not one to preach
I left my home, I left this town
Ran out of reasons to stick around
200 Miles but a call away
Just call me up
Any day or night
I’ll make it alright
This world gets shit sometimes
You gotta let loose
Let it sail on by
I know, I’ve been there before
This world gets shit sometimes
You gotta let loose
Let it sail on by
I know, I’ve been there before
Been there before

Ode To Seamus
03:11
|

Stood at the bar on a sunday night
In the middle of spring, sipping on his wine
He's known to be the king of this town
He sees two boys sitting down
Keeping themselves to themselves
'Hey boys, I think you need some help'
'Theres 2 ladies sitting in the corner
You want them to dance? I've got advice for ya
Dance boy, like nobody is around
And in 3 minutes time
The girls they will surround you
The rocket goes up but it comes down
Take these rules boy
And turn your life around
The boys look stunned and they say can I
can have a picture with you so I can remind?
My self of this wise man
He taught me how to make the ladies dance
He said 'Sorry boys but I'm kind've famous'
It's nice to meet you, my name is Seamus
Come over here and have a drink or two
I've got some advice that's perfect for you
Dance boy, like nobody is around
And in 3 minutes time
The girls they will surround you
The rocket goes up but it comes down
Take these rules boy
And turn your life around
Sometimes they wonder, what's he doing now?
Is he really famous, and will they ever find out?
He could be a millionaire, or just a regular guy
That's the story of seamus
But there's one thing you can't deny
If you
Dance boy, like nobody is around
Just lose yourself
To the high and lonesome sound
The rocket goes up but it comes down
Take these rules boy
And turn your life around

Too Proud to Say
03:31
|
|||
|
You Know my faults and flaws
You’ve seen this all before
My darkest of sides
The loneliest nights
I know you’ve looked around
Hoping to settle down
It doesn’t seem right
Without me by your side
So hold back
Take a second to think back
To happier time
When I called you mine
And say that
You love me and that you want me back
Because I feel the same
I was just too proud to say
O it’s been four long years
Since I left you right here
Tears down your face
When I walked out your face
Maybe I think too much
Maybe I’ll call you up
Maybe I’m scared
That you no longer care

Compass
02:46

You could do much better than me
But I’ll be your safe bet
I could be your bit of rough
But you’re the prettiest girl I’ve met
And I’ve never changed for anyone
But for you, I’d make a change
And I’ll never ask the same of you
Even in your old age
I need a holiday
We could go to Memphis, Or San Francisco Bay
Let’s go to Las Vegas
And spend our money
Because I’ve never been a gambling man
But I wish You’d Take a chance on me
I may not be your cup of tea
But I’ll be your whiskey shot
There’s a beautiful sense of irony
That you’re everything that I’m not
I may not be your Mr Right
But if you want, I’m happy to
Be Mr ‘That Will Do Tonight’
And I’ll try to play it cool
I need new scenery
Let’s jump on a plane, get out of this country
Let’s go and tour Australia
Hitchhike in Italy
Because I want to see the world
Won’t you come with me
Every adventure needs a compass
And everyone needs a light
So I’m asking you, will you be my guidance?
And take me home tonight.

I played guitar when nobody heard
I sang my songs but nobody learned
From my mistakes
I’ve watched people come and go
I travelled miles to empty shows
Just to play
And all of this means I
Will be the last man standing
When everyone has gone home
I’ll be the last man standing
When all the water runs cold
I’ll be the last man standing on my own
I’ll be the last man standing alone
I took advice I should ignore
Sometimes I feel I bit off more
Than I could chew
I’ve taken blows that knocked me down
But the ones who stuck around
Have pulled me through
And thanks to them now I
Will be the last man standing
When everyone has gone home
I’ll be the last man standing
When all the water runs cold
I’ll be the last man standing on my own
I’ll be the last man standing alone
The darker times are outweighed
By the good that I find

For the first time in a while
I feel content
Nothing to complain
I’ve Nothing left to vent
I’ll hold my eyes shut tight
And count to ten
Count my lucky stars
I'll take it in
It’s because of that smile
The glint in your eyes
And the summer dress that waves
Because of that style
To my surprise
I’m kicking my habits
I’m Changing my ways
I’m shaking off the mornings
Spent in bed
Rid my blood of toxins
And the tears I’ve shed
I’m still worried about the future
Nothings changed
I’m still a boring cynical pessimist
In an optimistic phase

Best Friend To Me
03:13
|
|||

Youre the one thing in my life that's never changed
No matter where we travelled, you've stayed the same
I never told how cool I thought that was
Somewhere down the line I lost my way
Pissed off many people in different ways
You're always there to tell me where i stand
Since we were children
We were
Destined to grow apart
But we never
Because that's not who we are
You, told me
No matter where we go
No matter who we know
You stay the same constantly
You, told me
No matter where we go
No matter who we know
You're always a good friend
Always a good friend
Always a best friend to me
I know there's been sometimes when I didn't phone
But I always think about you and you should know
That I will love you
Til the day I die
I know it's been harder when I'm miles away
But I've always got a sofa if you wanna stay
We can stay up drinking
Putting the worlds to right
Now we're older
We are
Destined to grow apart
But we'll never
Because that's not who we are
I hope that one day you'll get married
I hope that I will be invited
Because If i have a child, you'll be the godfather
And If i get married, you'll be the best man
Call it bromance, call it what you want to
But you're the best friend that I've had

62 Years

62 Years been together
Through summer times and stormy weather
62 years, been right by his side
Now she noticed changes in his health
He looks at a picture
Don’t recognise himself
But she knows he is the same guy
He used to be an old romantic
Pick her up and they’d go dancing
Take her home on the back seat of his bike
Because she means everything to him
And he means everything to her
Just thought I’d let you know
Before you let him go
Sat in a room where they had planned
Their future children
And what might’ve happened
If he never asked if she wants a drink
Presents from when he worked away
Are sitting proud on the fireplace
These memories will forever keep her warm
Because she means everything to him
And he means everything to her
Just thought I’d let you know
Before you let him go
To be as loved as much as he
Is all I want to be
To live a life as full as he
Is all I’d ever need
Because she means everything to him
And he means everything to her
They mean everything to me
They mean everything to me
Just thought I’d let you know
Before you let him go

Pearly Whites
03:22

You said ‘It’s Not the best start to the year,
Things got heavy and I’ve started to crack’
And it’s not like you to shed a tear
Just when things were getting back on track
But I know, that in time
Good Karma will come your way
And I Know, you’ll be fine
It gets easy to face the day
I don’t mind if you fake it
Feed me lies and I will take it
But I know that’s not your style
Show me them pearly whites
Let me see you smile
You said it’s been a tough couple of days
And now it seems the cracks have started to show
But you keep your kind hearted of ways
And that’s why you’re the best person I know
Don’t Scared, because you’ll find
Good karma will come to you
Because you care, and you’re kind
And that’s all you seem to do
CHORUS
I Want to make you laugh
So you can no longer speak
I want to make you smile
Until you can’t feel your cheeks
CHORUS
CHORUS

This is for the times
You let me down
The Tell Tale Signs
That you fooled around
This is for the nights
Spent in the dark
A web of lies
Spun from the start
Cut down when I caught my stride
Now I’ve gotta learn to let go
A sycophant in your own sweet time
But I think you should know
I’m strong enough to take the fall
This is for the faults
You put on me
I swallowed up my pride
So I couldn’t breathe
Cut down when I caught my stride
Now I’ve gotta learn to let go
A sycophant in your own sweet time
But I think you should know
I’m strong enough to take the fall
Take me back, take me back
To the time, that I didn’t know you
Take me back to a time
When all the lies I didn’t know were true
I didn’t want a battle
But you got a war
I settled for a little
When I deserve more
Cut down when I caught my stride
Now I’ve gotta learn to let go
A sycophant in your own sweet time
But I think you should know
I’m strong enough to take the fall

Where Has The Year Gone?
04:59
|
|||
|
52 Weeks is a long long time
And I’ve poured my heart
Into every single line
Where has the year gone?
A procession of pens
Scrawled on an empty page
And the years go faster
With every passing age
Where has the year gone?
Where o where o where o where
Where o where o where o where
Where has the year gone?
Where o where o where o where
Where o where o where o where
Where has the year gone?
I was too proud to say
Just what I need
Felt like 62 years
Trying to find my feet
9 hours a day
Out of my depth
Learning to grow
With the best friends
I got drunk and off beat
And it hurt like hell
Had to figure out
How to protect myself
I ran circles round
Every wicked web
Now I take to the stage
Like I’m the last one left
Where o where o where o where
Where o where o where o where
Where has the year gone?
Where o where o where o where
Where o where o where o where
Where has the year gone?
Has the year gone?
Has the year gone?
I don’t know where I’ll be
Don’t know where I’m going
I guess we’ll just see
There’s no way to know
Just take what life throws our way
Just take it easy
Just take it easy
Where o where o where o where
Where o where o where o where
Where has the year gone?
Where o where o where o where
Where o where o where o where
Where has the year gone?
Has the year gone?
Has the year gone?
