Boom Boom Boom
Pulled me over at the border
Shook me out like Romeo
All my laissez faire and tom cat prayers spilled out into the road
See I learnt to lie
In a graveyard of rainbows
Stitching up those colours charging tickets to the show
Boom boom boom, they got me
Boom boom boom, completely
Boom boom boom, I'm lying
Boom boom boom, they’re crying
Oh your time ain't long
Buying vodka for politicians
Is like feeding chocolate to sharks
I’ve seen their perfect wives take all their clothes of in the dark
And see how they all love me
As I pucker up to talk
And whisper to the sweet girls just to make them wince and bark
Boom boom boom, they got me
Boom boom boom, completely
Boom boom boom, I'm lying
Boom boom boom, they’re crying
Oh your time ain't long
Now I'm in the headlines
For my naivety
When I should be in Bermuda taking tea with Mrs May
So kiss me like I know you dare
Start me up and fix my tie
All those back seat boozers and long tail Susans beg to testify
Boom boom boom, they got me
Boom boom boom, completely
Boom boom boom, I'm lying
Boom boom boom, they’re crying
Oh your time ain't long

My Girl is a Heartbreak

My Girl Is a Heartbreak
My girl is Joan of Arc, my girl is John Wayne
My girl is broken glass, crying in the rain
My girl is a Starcrawler, a black-tongued brawler
My girl is a drink slipper, grit spitter, Protestant daughter
My girl
My girl is a Heartbreak
My girl in Hollywood, my girl in Holloway
My girl is a cowboy angel, pulling me astray
My girl is lonely, she be, thin lipped and bones
My girl is blood money, lust honey, stubborn as a pony
My girl
My girl is a Heartbreak
My girl like sweet tea, she Nefertiti
She’s pulling triggers she be stand and deliver, ooh wee
She feel electric, dance floor genetic,
Blows out the sun when she’s all paid out and done
My girl
My girl is a Heartbreak
My girl in Hollywood, My girl in Holloway
My girl in Hollywood, My girl in Holloway

Chasing Lights

Chasing Lights
You let your dreams roll like thunder
Into the arms of a stranger
And all that drunken darkness, held you under, pushed you faster
And you, were chasing lights
Now you call me up like I'm your fool
Playing with your tea set after school
Now I'm rattling like a double dose
Press my eyes to see your ghost
And I'm, chasing lights
Ooh oh
You told me that we'd be young forever
And when we fall, we’d fall together
But you left on a kite string
Crashing cars and kissing lightning
Cos you, were chasing lights
Yeah you, were chasing lights
All that drunken darkness, pulled you deeper, held you under
Now I'm rattling like double dose, all your starlight in my throat
Cos you, were chasing lights
Yeah you, were chasing lights

Higher Than the Light

Higher than Light
See the light, the air the water falling from your reach
We’re wasting in the valley like those Navajo peaches
But there's a new wind blowing South
We’re trying just to breath in breath out
Burning with the hot sun hot sun
Learning just to live fast die young
We're higher than light
Cross your fingers, bow your head, hail Mary full of grace
Your mother, brother, sister, lover pray to keep you safe
But there's a new wind blowing South
We’re trying just to breath in breath out
Burning with the hot sun hot sun
Learning just to live fast die young
We're higher than light
Now we watch the moon dancing deep into the sea
Where God’s with all their wreckless dreams whisper come with me
But there's a new wind blowing South
We’re trying just to breath in breath out
Burning with the hot sun hot sun
Learning just to live fast die young
We're higher than light

Easily in Love

Easily In Love
Love doesn't ask it takes
It burns, shines and breaks
And honey I’ve learnt to burn with you
Both of us we’re built the same
Of heartache and heavy rain
You gently turn and say to me
I... I’m
So easily in Love
With you
Whisper your designs
Like the breeze through Cyprus pines
As we fade away, away
When all of this is gone
Into the dark behind the sun
Have you you been what you wanted to be with me
I... I’m
So easily in Love
With you
When you lie, I’ll believe you
When you cry, I’ll stay with you
When you're wrong, I'll play along
When I’m weak, you’ll be strong
So easily in Love
With you

Love is Still a Long Road
All our beautiful and flawed designs
All the plans we made in wasted time
We left them in the dark to the brawlers and their sweethearts.
Yeah we,
Drank out our peace of mind
Got drunk on Atlantic time
And I threw my heart into the traffic down on East Park.
Your love is still a long road
Your love is still a long road
That I follow
Your love is still a long road
Your love is still a long road
That I follow
I was weak and couldn't resist
Your heavy heart and soft blond kiss
Now I can’t turn back my blood is running like a race track.
So leave your
Lovers and liars to their midnight choirs
With their teenage dreams and half cut screams
If they ask let them know you’ve found a place to call home.
Your love is still a long road
Your love is still a long road
That I follow
Your love is still a long road
Your love is still a long road
That I follow

Reaching

Reaching
Standing in the rain isn’t diving in the sea
If you couldn't keep your promise why’d you lie to me?
Now I’m on the long road to the beautiful South
Watching gutter sports live in a hungry house
Reaching, Reaching, Reaching
Yes I am.
Reaching, Reaching, Reaching
Out.
I heard Bukka White moan on a white cassette
Bought Easy Rider on VHS
Cos’ these tyres found me what I need
They’re gonna teach these hard lungs how to breath
Reaching, Reaching, Reaching
Yes I am.
Reaching, Reaching, Reaching
Out.
You said that you loved me just before you left
Before the legal settlement and the property theft
But I have nothing left to say to you
I just shook my feathers and away I flew
Reaching, Reaching, Reaching
Yes I am.
Reaching, Reaching, Reaching
Out.

Sweet Abandon

Sweet Abandon
I was lost ‘til I found you
Heavy hearted ‘til I knew
I’d be yours and yours alone
You took my hand and I was home
Sweet Abandon, Sweet Abandon
I fear no black or broken sky
I fear no cities dark divide
So if your hearts a rolling stone,
I’ll leave my family leave my home, for your
Sweet Abandon, Sweet Abandon.
You are the fallen midnight dew
And the cold sun breaking through
Only one I answer to
Sweet Abandon, Sweet Abandon
Like the rivers beg to flow
Through the mountains solids stone
It’s like gospel in our blood,
We weren’t meant to be alone
Sweet Abandon, Sweet Abandon

Sick In Love
These streets are breathless child
Slow dance your dreams down
Drinking for leisure babe
Forgetting where we're born
I'm sick in Love
So sick in Love
I’m sick in Love
So sick in Love
This city's vicious child
we call it fun
The battle continues babe
Down behind that sun
I'm sick in Love
So sick in Love
I’m sick in Love
So sick in Love
So come to me easy babe
Play me as I lay
My blood is restless child
It wants to be remembered
We're sick in love
So sick in love
We're sick in love
So sick in love
We’re sick in Love
So sick in Love
We’re sick in Love
So sick in Love

Rightfully, Honestly
I’ll be yours rightfully, honestly always
You’ll be my soft skinned, sweet thing always
I’ll be your hot blooded, hard headed liar
I’ll be yours rightfully, honestly, always.
I walked you home, as the heat of the summer came down
The city was a paradise of violence, Ice cream trucks turned silent
And the rain burned to steam on the stone.
I’ll be yours rightfully, honestly always
You’ll be my soft skinned, sweet thing always
I’ll be your hot blooded, hard headed liar
I’ll be yours rightfully, honestly, always.
Twisted Sheets, your hands became the tools that I needed, I needed.
There wasn’t no chalet suite in London, no self-cleaning oven
Just a warm room where we could get stoned.
I’ll be yours rightfully, honestly always
You’ll be my soft skinned, sweet thing always
I’ll be your hot blooded, hard headed liar
I’ll be yours rightfully, honestly, always.
For all the things that I have done wrong
The things I sacrificed to get along
I am sorry sorry sorry child
I am sorry sorry sorry child
I am sorry sorry sorry child
I’ll be yours rightfully, honestly always
You’ll be my soft skinned, sweet thing always
I’ll be your hot blooded, hard headed liar
I’ll be yours rightfully, honestly, always.

Feel Them Getting Closer
03:25

Feel Them getting closer
Walking into heaven like the brand new Elvis
A suited and booted clean American made machine
Cold skin, stolen keys, gravel track and bare knees
I’m going where they won’t find me
And I can feel them getting closer
Closer
And I can feel them getting closer
Hanging all my prayers up on the power lines
And they’re lighting up the city like the National Grid
Hotel, motel, ringing like a sleigh bell
I’m going where they won’t find me
And I can feel them getting closer
Closer
And I can feel them getting closer
Queen and me are waiting for the changing of the guards
And they’re rigging all the racquets down on Sunset Boulevard
Cold sweat, jet-set, feeling like a death threat
I’m going where they won’t find me
And I can feel them getting closer
Closer
And I can feel them getting closer

If You Don't Love Me

If You Don’t Love Me
When your boiler’s broken, I will be the South of France.
When your day is dragging, I will scream like friday night.
And when your party’s run dry, I’ll be water into wine.
If you don’t love me
I won’t be loved
If you don’t love me there’ll be no one else
And when the traffic stands still, I will be your Tungsten Tank.
And when your feet won’t carry, I can roll like a train.
And when you feel you’re falling, I will meet you in the air.
If you don’t love me
I won’t be loved
If you don’t love me there’ll be no one else
If you don’t love me
I won’t be loved
If you don’t love me I don’t want love, love, love, love.
And when the bitters drown you, I will swim with you.
And when the darkness holds you, I will burn like the day.
And when you wake with no-one, I will lie with you.
And when you wake with no-one, I will lie with you.
If you don’t love me
I won’t be loved
If you don’t love me there’ll be no one else
If you don’t love me
I won’t be loved
If you don’t love me I don’t want love, love, love, love.

Baby Be Mine
02:42

Baby, baby be mine.
Casino boys under pool hall lights
I’m waiting tables at the Satellite
You said “come on let's go get high
And leave all these wasters in the bye and bye”
Baby Baby be mine
Burning bridges just to light the way
We were champagne baby and Novacaine
We flowed deep like rivers and mud
Fell in love as hard as I could
Baby Baby be mine
Now I'll hold you like the circle that surrounds the sun
You’ll be Clarence I’ll be Alabama baby watch us run
I'll hold you like the circle that surround the sun
Rolling like we’re golden ‘til we come undone
Baby Baby be mine
One day honey when were free and clean
With a baby on the backseat like a jelly bean
You won't remember when you wanted more
Or the shadows cooking at the kitchen door
Baby baby be mine
