Yorkshire Street
You make me think about the old days,
Colours all over the walls,
And a pen under the pillow
Waiting for the pennies to fall.
There’s a tree under the doorway,
A piece of paper on the light,
Under which I am a woman
Living in the middle of the night,
Until I find myself weaken
For the time I saw you neatly,
With your fingertips open,
Rearrange my hair, oh.
If I’d known I’d be nostalgic
I would’ve listened to your heartbeat
With a little more attention,
I would’ve known you were mine.
Now all I have is hindsight,
And a mirror from the door.
I would’ve noticed the occasion,
I would’ve given you more,
Until I find myself weaken
For the time I saw you neatly,
With your fingertips open,
Rearrange my hair, oh.

Oh, My Friends

Oh, My Friends
See, it’s gone away now,
The war is over.
A war you never knew about
Till you ran for cover.
I blame the winter,
Made me feel the bitter cold.
You came alive,
I hoped for more.
Now the world is open
When you are not around,
A world you do not know about
Since you hit the ground.
I blame the winter,
Made me see that some things stay the same.
Who was there before
Is still here today.
I called out across the sea.
Oh, my friends he did not hear me.
Oh, my friends he did not see me,
And I don’t remember who I used to be.
Once upon a time I made a wish,
I made a wish upon a star,
And you sent for me.
I was there to fall apart.
I blame the winter,
Made me feel I wouldn’t have it any other way.
You closed your eyes
So I closed the way.
And I called out across the sea.
Oh, my friends he did not hear me.
Oh, my friends he did not see me,
And I don’t remember who I used to be.

Around the Table

Around the Table
What's going on around the table
Behind that look in his eye?
Will he play a part down the line?
And will he know her hears will always hide?
Is she going there, is she able
To meet that look in his eye?
Will she hear a truth before a lie,
And will she choose to face the test and try?
She's going home alone once more.
There's no one there when she walks through the door.
There's more to play around the table,
More to hear from the crowd.
They're lost in consultation with a sound,
And that's all it's ever going to be about.
Is she gonna dare, is she able?
She joins another round.
Is there anywhere to be but with a crowd,
Lost in consultation with a crowd?
She's made her own way home before,
With no one there when she walks through the door.

I'd Know (Acoustic)

I’d Know
Your eyes are not the same colour.
Your cheeks too red to bear his name.
Your shirt’s too tight around your shoulders.
I used to think of you every day.
I bear temptation in my ordinary soul
And you tried to be mine,
You said he’d never know.
He makes my tea for me in the morning.
He taught me how to let it all go.
He knows my every contradiction.
It took me years to let him know.
You seem surprised that I refuse to take you home,
After all of the years,
You said he’d never know.
Your eyes, yeah your eyes
Gave up hope,
And I watched you go.
I like to kiss him and to look him in the eye
So he knows he’s not alone,
I said that I’d know, yeah,
I said that I’d know.

Safe Road Home

Safe Road Home
Save my soul.
Answer all my questions before I go,
Because I don’t know
Whether it’s enough to be alone.
I’m free and I’m alive
Beyond the shadow of your eyes
For my safe road home.
My safe road home.
Where do you sleep?
You are in my thoughts but there’s no face I see,
While I have been
Everything I thought I’d ever be.
You wear your words alone,
While I whisper over rocks that I’ve outgrown
For my safe road home.
My safe road home.
Outside this room
Whoever does what they’re supposed to do
When they’re afraid of you,
And they’re stood still to get through?
Somewhere down the line
I heard the wind and changed my mind
For my safe road home.
My safe road home.

Your Colour

Your Colour
Your colour is gold.
Your eyes are the window to your soul.
My spirit knows
All the words that I’m searching for to explain
How I know you’re an angel.
How I know many more of the same.
I was lost and confused by a shadow,
And found by the words of a sage.
Your colour is gold.
You know I’m returning from the stars,
And I know I’ve been told,
But all the time I am learning
That it’s been a long time since I met with an angel.
I’ve seen a world full of pleasure and pain.
I was lost and confused by a shadow,
And found by the words of a sage;
Are you falling apart?
Do you know who you are?
It’s never too late to find more of the pieces
And feed a growing heart.
I look around and all I see now is angels,
And whether I’m black or I’m white or I’m grey,
There’s someone around to enlighten me
With another way.
And I'm not falling apart,
I can see who you are,
I hope you find all of your pieces
to feed a growing heart.

Anything Other

Anything Other
Waking up to the city
Weighted down by a plough
I can see that you miss me
Taken in by a sound
There is no confusion
There is only doubt
I can see that you're wearing all your wishes
Inside out
Would you give me a hearing?
Would you give me a thought?
Are you listening to people?
All they do is talk
I am an illusion
I follow the rules
And burn out the candle
For a pair of new black shoes.
Speak to Kristeva
She says I am alive
Somewhere beyond the endless words
On the other side
CHORUS
Would you wait to consider
Anything other than time,
Anything other than
I don't care about anything other than mine?
