This Free Life
03:25
|
|||
Ignore us free ones
Defy all our truth
Leave all our dreams to the side
Stuck in a rental trap
Wasting half my wage
I try getting on but there’s no end in sight
[Chorus]
This free life, this free life
This free life, this free life
This free life, this free life
This free life
Hold onto your ideas
Hold onto greed
Rent it out though we’ve nothing to spare
See what your big machine
Churns out on the street
Just 10 000 people barely there
[Chorus]
Oh this free life, this free life
This free life, this free life
What free life, what free life?
Oh this free life
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
This free life, this free life
This free life, this free life
What free life, what free life?
This free life, this free life
Oh this free life, this free life
Oh this free life, this free life
Oh this free life, this free life
Ah…

This river runs on
And this world turns the sky
Now this all came to be
But I don’t care to know just how or why
The distance we cross
The width of our dreams
And this passion that guides
Don’t mean anything to me
[Chorus]
Turn the world in your hands, let it burn or let it fly
Doesn’t matter to me, if it lives or if it dies
But put your hands on my hips, hold my body, chase my mind
Take your hands off this world and just put ‘em back on mine
Put ‘em back on mine
Put ‘em back on mine
This justice that speaks
But never comes to be
Your heated exchange
Oh this hopeless world it amuses me
Oh try if you must
See if I’ve will left to fight
Offer one-sided claims
Your account of what is wrong and right
[Chorus]
Turn the world in your hands, let it burn or let it fly
Doesn’t matter to me, if it lives or if it dies
But put your hands on my hips, hold my body, chase my mind
Take your hands off this world and just put ‘em back on mine
Put ‘em back on mine
Put ‘em back on mine
[Outro]
This river runs on
This river runs on
This river runs on
This river runs on
Oh this river runs on
Oh this river runs on
Oh this river runs on
Oh this river runs on, on, on

Let There Be Light
04:33
|
|||
Let there be light
Let there be days
Let there be hope
That helps you thread your way
Through the crowds
You’ll find a face
Someone that reaches you
In some kind way
In the commotion it’s getting hard to know
What really matters and what’s worth letting go
What’s your intent, and do you intend to know?
No, let there be light, light for the day
I know you’ll become
I know you’ll remain
I know you’ve wandered
But you’ll find again
No need to be strong
No need to push on
Just follow what guides you along
In the commotion it’s getting hard to know
What really matters and what’s worth letting go
And I miss the mornings when you said ‘I love you so’
No, let there be light, light for the day
No, let there be light, light for the day
[Instrumental]
With all this longing I’m finding it so hard to know
What really matters and what’s worth letting go
But I have this music and I want the world to know
Let there be light, light for the day
No, let there be light, light for the day
No, just let there be light, light for the day

Unfailingly
04:10
|
|||
Leave your boat here at the shore
Throw your anchor down to me
As the moon changes the tide
It is you that changes me
As the sand slips through your hands
Let your dreams slip into mine
Now we lie here on the coast
Far from the city, unmoved by time
[Chorus]
‘Cause you are my love, my love
‘
Cause you are my love, my love
Unfailingly
We can build our paradise
Out of bricks and old debris
We’ll create a world ourselves
All we need is to believe
But if ever I should fade
Or if ever you should leave
Then take solace in the fact;
You can come with me and I can come with you
[Chorus]
And you are my love, my love
And you are my love, my love
[Chorus]
And you are my love, you are my love
And you are my love, you are my love
Unfailingly

Linger Here
03:14
|
|||
Linger here with me my lover
I long to touch your mind and your skin
Some light in you, it strikes me so gently
I long for you to let me in
Linger here with me new lover
My thoughts have been running so wild
Let’s see how night shifts into morning
The changing colours of the sky
[Chorus]
Oh, it doesn’t mean that we are changing
We only brought new colours to the night
Linger here and think of this body
Your eyes, my hands and our two minds
We’ll sink so deep in needing and wanting
It’s a simple thing called desire
[Chorus]
Oh, it doesn’t mean that we are changing
We only brought new colours to the night
Oh, it doesn’t mean that this is love now
It’s a simple thing called desire
So linger here with me my lover
I long for you to let me in
I long for you to let me in
I long for you, oh, to let me in

The Fool
04:02
|
|||
I've taken what's left of this warm eve
But it all somehow still brings me down
With memories of days under the same sun
When you still came around
I gave more I thought I'd care to give
But somehow I've been left with nothing to keep
I don't think the letter sent as you left for good
Did anything for me
[Chorus]
'Cause if it means that much to me
How come it doesn't mean that much to you?
Oh honey I'm the fool, the fool, the fool
That keeps running round for more
You spend most your days inside your world
Boy, when do you take time just to think of me
And you're stretched on my bed as the night
Tries to take me in, but I just have to leave things be
Oh, now don't tell me I never knew about pleasure
How can I give you this pleasure when it's causing me pain?
I cannot satisfy a need when it's not what I desire
Since when did you become so vain?
[Chorus]
'Cause if it means that much to me
How come it doesn't mean that much to you?
Oh honey I'm the fool, the fool, the fool
That keeps knocking on your door
And if I give so lovingly
How come you often take so carelessly?
Oh honey I'm the fool, the fool, the fool
I won’t be running round for me
For more, oh, for more
Not anymore
[Chorus]
'Cause if it means that much to me
How come it doesn't mean that much to you?
Oh honey I'm the fool, the fool, the fool
I'm done knocking on your door
And if I give so lovingly
How come you often take so carelessly?
Oh honey I'm the fool, the fool, the fool
I won't be running round for more
Oh honey I'm the fool, the fool, the fool
I won't be running round for more
Not anymore, not anymore

Up Here
04:04
|
|||
Lift me up here, up here
Lift me up here for a while
I know the moment, the laughter
So vivid in my mind
[Chorus]
I have to feel it clearly, like your skin
Like your words that broke the blue I hid within
I have to feel it clearly, don’t pass me by
I hold onto things but maybe that’s alright
I hold onto things but maybe that’s alright
Oeh…
Lift me up here, up here
Lift me up here for a while
I want to see things, moving
Through this purple sky
[Chorus]
I have to feel it clearly, like this night
I know that darkness formed a certain kind of light
I have to feel it clearly, these bygone times
I hold onto things but maybe that’s alright
I hold onto things but maybe that’s alright
[Outro]

Sing to me my love
From your dark room
In your house there
By the sea
I’ll still hear your song
In this city
Where the cars trail
Along the streets
[Chorus]
And you can make this town
Look so kind now
Look so simple
Look so sweet
Sing to me my love
From your dark room
In your house there
By the sea
I feel so estranged
From these people
And their talking
On the street
I’ve become a fool
To my old love
To my family
And to me
[Chorus]
You can make this world
Look so kind now
Look so gentle
Look so sweet
Sing to me my love
From your dark room
In your house there
By the sea
[Instrumental]
Oeh…
Lay me in your bed
Close the curtains
We know there’s nothing
there to see
All I want to hear
Is your breathing
And that birdsong
By the sea
[Chorus]
You can make a girl/boy
Look so kind now
Look so gentle
Look so sweet
Sing to me my love
From your dark room
In your house there
By the sea
In your house there
By the sea
Oh, in your house there
By the sea

Give It Time
03:00
|
|||
I know too little
And want too much
And when it’s given
It’s not enough
But maybe I have changed
And you can meet me here
Tumbling through old times
Before the sun appeared
Cause all you’ve got to do is
[Chorus]
Give it time, slowly things will realign
There is no telling how or when
But you will be alright
You will be alright
So come on over
Don’t linger on
I’ll find means to
Help you move on
I’ve been there before
The black of fear
When all was obsolete
Before the sun appeared
Before the sun appeared
[Chorus]
So give it time, slowly things will realign
There is no telling how or when
But you will be alright
[Chorus]
So give it time, slowly things will realign
There is no telling how or when
But you will be alright
You will be alright
You will be alright

Burn So Bright
03:44
|
|||
I know I have lost
I’ve felt this once before
I need to set my ship
Out for another shore
Something I did gain
On that night we kissed
I hold my love at bay
Oh I must run from this
[Chorus]
But you burn so bright
Burn so bright in me
You burn so bright
Burn so bright, can’t you see?
What you mean to me
Your scent caught in my breeze
Your clouds before my eyes
Your hands they seeks my skin
I try to walk on by
This foolish innocence
We cannot be a lie
You don’t love like you should
It pains me to say goodbye
[Chorus]
‘Cause you burn so bright
Burn so bright in me
You burn so bright
Burn so bright, can’t you see?
[Chorus]
‘Cause you burn so bright
Burn so bright in me
And you burn so bright
Burn so bright, can’t you see?
What you mean to me
