Every time I turn my head I hear something else you said Every time I rest my bones I get the feeling I’m not entirely alone Think you could be mine Don’t you waste your time on me Think things will be fine All we need is time you’ll see But I’m still waiting for you to Give me a signal Show me a sign Are you here for the distance? Or just killing time? I keep a little back I keep a little cold Incase its just easy And I’m too heavy a load But every time I see your face I know that I can take the weight Think you could be mine Lay it on the line for you But you were a long time coming And I’m still waiting Keep your motor running And all the exits clear You were a long time coming But I’m still waiting for you to Give me a signal Show me a sign Are you here for the distance? Or just killing time? I keep a little back I keep a little cold Incase its just easy And I’m too heavy… a load

This Girl 02:55
If I held you in the quiet If I held you in the dark Would the voices fallen silent Wrap around us to hide the spark When the laughter drowned the whispers Under covers, undermine If I had held you a little tighter Would you have noticed, would you care? Would you have said that you were mine? Your memory fills each moment But I’m still left here wanting more The key sits rusting in the door now When the laughter drowned the whispers Under covers, undermine If I had held you a little tighter Would you have noticed, would you care? Would you have said that you were mine? Keep moving Keep your body breathing Keep waiting For something to believe in Last night party winding down As new found soul-mates hit the ground Don’t look back and see her in the crowd still waiting Last night party winding down As new found soul-mates fulfill clumsy dreams

Ten 03:36
Tear yourself to pieces Tenth time today Picking through the wreckage Of all your yesterdays Tearing up the picture But the image is in your head Guaranteed to come and fine you When you’re lying alone in bed And how can I help you If you wont help yourself? Look around it affects everybody else We all got our fingers burnt In the name of history There’s so much damage and hurt Looking in the mirror I worry what I’ll see You’re dying for a piece of him But he’s a part of me So how can I help you? If you wont help yourself? Look around it affects everybody else We all got our fingers burnt In the name of history There’s so much damage and hurt In spite of our history We’ve still got so much to learn

There are days when I find my mind Slipping into something good And I swear I would take it in a second if I could But you don’t know the damage that your damage can make You don’t know the meaning of an innocent mistake And you don’t know the depths to which I crave and I break (If you never see me in your arms You must tell me before it’s too late) ‘Cause there are ways down every single path If you lay your heart out bare And I swear I would give it in a second if I could But you don’t know the damage that your damage can make You don’t know the meaning of an innocent mistake And you don’t know the depths to which I crave and I fake

Catch the silence before you wake While I trap this moment Before I break I can’t keep running It keeps on coming The silence it will prevail We move on Feel stronger now I can’t see your face When all’s said When all’s said and done Catch the silence before you wake While I run around the edges Of all the things that you take I can’t keep coming Back again for more Of your bullshit you laid out at my door We move apart Eyes fixed upon As you just walk away We’re all said We’re all said and done Just beyond the sunlight Just outside the dawn Linger in the shadows Shelter from the warm

Paper Cups 03:23
I can feel you here This frost-covered town The smoke fills our air Just from breathing in and out In and out Paper cups we gather up Light up our skies And sing off key our symphonies In streets of snow and high desires We love a little deeper Caught in the now Fill up the night with chains of lights And dare the stars to glow the brighter I can feel you close This frost-covered town The sun’s filled my ears Just keep breathing in and out In and out Carry the weight for you Let peace flow upon you tonight Carry the weight from you Snowflakes on the pavements you light Between our pages the dark remains Try and change it Begin again Between our pages the dark remains Turn and face it Begin again I can feel you here this frost-covered town

I felt the burning today Just the edge of something cold And for a while for a moment Yesterday returned And I don’t know why but I was colder than ice And you were my winter The frosting on my skin You were the start you were the centre So that’s where I shall begin So lets begin

Sure I’d like to be free from here Too close to for anything that’s real The constant puzzle over what I’ve done To make you act this way – I can’t explain These things come and turn our faces Find out what we have become behind closed doors These things come and turn our tables Find out where we belong is not where we began I still here you calling I still feel your eyes on me And I’m still freefalling through the space you leave Become Sure I’d like to believe your lies Salt pinches that we hide behind I take you at your word I can’t resist The emptiness you leave when you’re away These things come and turn our faces Find out what we have become behind closed doors These things come and turn our tables Find out where we belong is not where we began I still feel your eyes on me And I’m still freefalling through the space you leave I still hear you calling I still feel your eyes on me Dust is still gathering in the space you leave

I wandered ‘round the house this afternoon Looking for the light from room to room Staring out the windows trying to find my space ‘Cause I don’t find it when I search your face I wandered ‘round the house the other day Looking for the truth in what you say Staring out the windows trying to find a way ‘Cause I can’t find it when I search this place No fingers printed in the dirt To mark the ways you make me hurt

Shell 04:12
I can’t remember days before you came my way It all goes blurry and the same it’s strange I dare say These are the days I live inside now You took away the part of me that made me Who you fell in love with And I don’t know who this is but it’s a shell You made me breathe a little deeper From the weight left on my shoulder Kicking up my wreckage what the hell Where did I go? Where did the pieces of my heart, my mind go? Floating all alone I can’t remember days before you came my way It all goes easy now and there’s no shame in that way And there’s no pain in taking it slowly while drifting so lonely And where did I go? Where did the pieces of my heart, my mind go? Floating all alone And will I see my own face again? And feel my own skin breathe strong in my hand? You took away the part me that made me Who you fell in love with And I don’t know what this is but it’s a shell

Don’t think I don’t care Because I don’t say the words Well how can I? You’re still lying by her side Don’t think I don’t care Because I don’t make a move Well how can I? You’re still wrapped up in her life But don’t mistake this for a second Don’t be in doubt of my affection You mean the world to me You’re what makes me able to breathe So don’t think I don’t care Because I don’t say the words I need to try To put you behind me ‘Cause when you’re not there The space you leave just hurts And I don’t wanna cry for you Each time I see you with her So for what it’s worth Don’t think I don’t care Because I don’t shout it from the roof There’s this lullaby If you need your proof That when you’re not there The space you leave just hurts And I don’t wanna cry for you Each time I see you with her Don’t mistake this for a second Don’t be in doubt of my affection You mean the world to me You’re what makes me able to breathe

Every time I turn my head I hear something else you said Every time I rest my bones I get the feeling I’m not entirely alone Every second of my day I spend waiting for this feeling to Go away Every hour that passes me by I know the people out there are just Living lies Give me a signal Show me a sign Are you here for the distance? Or just killing time? Every time I turn my head I hear something else you said Every time I rest my bones I get the feeling I’m not entirely alone I’ve been holding out underwater Keep the pieces fresh inside But I can’t hold my breath any longer So I’ll let go and let it slide, slide, slide…
14.
I have to say you made me forget myself Not one to fall upon my sword It’s not like I will crumble I had a choice But forgive me if I throw my toys Keep my chest close to my heart Move my pieces back to start Back away politely and play my part Play my part, play my part Play my part, play my part, play my part I cannot shake the feeling that life could be Greener on your other side Its not like you can change me I’m set in lines But forgive me if I run and hide Keep my chest close to my heart Move my pieces back to start Just one small thing before we part You broke this heart, you broke this heart, you broke this heart You broke this heart, you broke this heart, you broke this heart Concede defeat Pray to beat this aching seed Grows in me Concede defeat And pray to beat This aching seed that grows in me

about

A collection of songs that have finally found a home, some never heard before and others familiar but different, including early versions, remixes and demos.

We obviously have a bit of a thing for the sea so we've decided to donate £1 of every album purchased to Surfers Against Sewage to enable their fight against plastic in our oceans.
