Beggars at the Feast 03:48
lyrics
buy track
They come in the night Take your hearts and your minds Stealing in the dark Tie you up and leave you blind They sell off your girls And let them take the blame Like Babylon's whores Condemn them all to the flame Who will you believe When the beggars are at your feast Where is your reprieve From the devils at your heels All their jealous gods Become your rage and need Pandora's box has opened And you've lost the key Who will you believe When the beggars are at your feast Where is your reprieve From the devils at your heels Who will you believe When the beggars are at your feast Where is your reprieve From the devils at your heels ooooh The devils at your heels

Sound Advice (free) 03:51

Mother told me not to let the mirror tell me Who I am or where I'm going, or the person I should be I always wanted more than these four walls surrounding me My freedom and integrity, no limit to my dream ooooh Turn around, little girl, break the glass, watch it shatter Burn it down, change your world, f**k them all, they don't matter Mother said you'll always be the square peg in the round hole But it doesn't matter, cause you'll always be yourself We spend our lifetimes pleasing others in the hopes that we Might finally be accepted, and not left up on the shelf ooooh Turn around, little girl, break the glass, watch it shatter Burn it down, change your world, f**k them all, they don't matter Mother taught me that my instinct is my greatest gift To make my own decisions and to learn from my mistakes Don't apologise for being who you are, don't change a thing It's better to be real than dancing with the fakes ooooh Turn around, little girl, break the glass, watch it shatter Burn it down, change your world, f**k them all, they don't matter

She led him to the water And took him by the hand She asked if her still loved her Her eyes like shifting sands And she sang Sweet, sweet false alarm How could it be? Can you make him love me again? My sweet, sweet false alarm My sweet, sweet, sweet She said she had a secret She couldn't tell a soul Of changes lies and circumstances She had nowhere else to go And she sang Sweet, sweet false alarm You'll set me free If you can make him love me again My sweet, sweet false alarm My sweet, sweet, sweet She's singing lullabies to shadows She's singing lullabies to shadows She's singing lullabies to shadows She's singing lullabies to shadows Sweet, sweet false alarm How could it be? Can you make him love me again? My sweet, sweet false alarm My sweet, sweet, sweet

Did I Tell You 03:00
lyrics
buy track
In the dark Watching shadows on the wall I play the part You never notice me at all The answer's here Wrapped in riddles in my head The demon fear Makes me doubt what I have said Did I tell you that I want you Did I tell you that I need you Did I tell you you're the only one to take away the pain Did I tell you that I love you That I cannot live without you I'll keep coming back again and again Fractured glass Blood roses dying on the sill Empty eyes Empty bottles, empty will I see your face Like a shattered chandelier You have no place In the poison of my tears Did I tell you that I want you Did I tell you that I need you Did I tell you you're the only one to take away the pain Did I tell you that I love you That I cannot live without you I'll keep coming back again and again Did I tell you that I want you Did I tell you that I need you Did I tell you you're the only one to take away the pain Did I tell you that I love you That I cannot live without you I'll keep coming back again and again

Fade to Grey 03:11
lyrics
buy track
Too late, I watch the bus leaving There's so much left unsaid Screw fate, I don't need this feeling These thoughts all torn up in my head I know I promised forever When I gave you my heart Too slow, we couldn't find heaven And now we're both falling apart So the colours fade, fade to grey See the past unmade, fade to grey So the colours fade, fade to grey See the past unmade, fade to grey All gone, this desolate wasteland Makes a fool out of me No songs, no tearstained confessions Can change the way this has to be I know I promised forever Then I took back my heart Too slow, no sign of things changing So now we're both falling apart So the colours fade, fade to grey See the past unmade, fade to grey So the colours fade, fade to grey See the past unmade, fade to grey So the colours fade, fade to grey See the past unmade, fade to grey

On Tim Burton's Farm 03:40
lyrics
buy track
Have you seen the sky painted black Hanging over stars like a sack Have you heard the skeletal cries Coming from the looking glass Do you wonder what goes on there Seated in the self rocking chair Gazing over forests and fields Razor blades and frosty grass I don't think the cows are normal on Tim Burton's farm I really don't think that the cows are normal on Tim Burton's farm Have you seen the candy twist trees Have you seen the way the ground breathes All the keys that rattle in locks Even when there's noone there? It's funny how the moon's always full And everywhere a strange sort of chill Your shadow's always coming unlatched And skipping off without a care I don't think the cows are normal on Tim Burton's farm I really don't think that the cows are normal on Tim Burton's farm

I don't wanna be your woman I don't want to be your girl I don't wanna be a fool for you Or be the centre of your world I don't want to be your honey I don't wanna be your babe I don't want you anymore No I don't want you anymore I don't want you to buy me flowers And I don't want no diamond rings And if you kiss the ground I walk on I'm gonna grow myself some wings I don't wanna be your sweetheart Your treasure or your pearl I don't want you any more no I don't want you anymore I don't want your sole devotion Don't want to see you on your knees I don't want romantic settings And I don't want to hear you plead All I want is my own freedom All I want is room to breathe I don't want you anymore I don't want you anymore I don't want you anymore no I don't want you anymore

Strange Familiarity 02:46
lyrics
buy track
You tell me you remember me You talk about the past and who I used to be With strange familiarity You come into my life demanding to be seen But I don't know you, only what I've been told And I am overwhelmed that you could be so bold You'd turn the clock back if you only had the chance But I'm not joining in this dance Take your love back, I don't need it Take your heart back, I didn't ask for it I don't know who you are No, I don't know you are Like an insect on a pin I'll face your scrutiny but I won't let you in You'll say who I am is a sin Well, I could change for you but I could never win No I don't trust you, it's best to stay apart Although you mean well, you're sure to hurt my heart You'd make it all ok if I'd only let you close But I'm not letting in this ghost Take your love back, I don't need it Take your heart back, I didn't ask for it I don't know who you are No, I don't know you are

Dancin' 03:30
lyrics

Sugar sugar Do you want to spend some time with me You're looking kind of lonely Is there something I can do? Cause I've been watching you from across the room for the past few songs Do you wanna come dancin'? Do you wanna come dancin'? Kick off your shoes, let your hair down low Step on the dance floor and let go Don't be afraid, make the rhythm work and let it rock your soul Come dance with me, we can dance all night And move our feet til the morning light I wanna rock your soul Sugar sugar Won't you come and take a walk with me I'd like to know you better Find the secret in your smile Cause you've been watching me from across the room for the last few songs Do you wanna come dancin'? Do you wanna come dancin'? Kick off your shoes, let your hair down low Step on the dance floor and let go Don't be afraid, make the rhythm work and let it rock your soul Come dance with me, we can dance all night And move our feet til the morning light I wanna rock your soul Kick off your shoes, let your hair down low Step on the dance floor and let go Don't be afraid, make the rhythm work and let it rock your soul Come dance with me, we can dance all night And move our feet til the morning light I wanna rock your soul Kick off your shoes, let your hair down low Step on the dance floor and let go Don't be afraid, make the rhythm work and let it rock your soul Come dance with me, we can dance all night And move our feet til the morning light I wanna rock your soul Sugar sugar Do you wanna spend some time with me You're looking kind of lonely Is there something I can do? Cause we've been watching each other across the room for the last few songs Do you wanna come dancin'? Do you wanna come dancin'? Do you wanna come dancin'? Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you?

Midnight Blues 03:14
lyrics
buy track
It's the middle of the night and the moon is gliding over All the birds have taken flight to rest their heads until the dawn My piano calls to me so I go and get some coffee Write a line or two or three, before the inspiration's gone I've got the midnight blues Cuddled up to my insomnia and waiting for my muse I've got the midnight blues Mainlining lots of caffeine and hoping for my muse Now the drunks have gone to bed and the streets outside are silent The only sound is in my head and the beating of my heart The ink is running from my pen as I'm scribbling and sketching As I try to write again and put some life into my art I've got the midnight blues Cuddled up to my insomnia and waiting for my muse I've got the midnight blues Mainlining lots of caffeine and hoping for my muse And so this is how it goes I pass the time til morning The ideas slowly dawning I'm hoping that it shows All the work and all the thinking Just to keep myself from sinking I've got the midnight blues Cuddled up to my insomnia and waiting for my muse I've got the midnight blues Mainlining lots of caffeine and hoping for my muse
