Curled up in the back of the car
Nine years old you don't know where you are And your head's on the window, your eyes are just closed There's a voice in the front and a hush on the road You're a passenger but your mind is travelling on. Open your eyes and you're nine years older Hands on the wheel and you're racing on over To lie with your first love, you can't wait to see her You borrowed the car and you think you're the driver But now you're the passenger to your own heart and it takes you travelling, travelling on. When the morning broke and the sky fell down It went black as night and the wind blew round And stole your directions, you lost your way home And you felt like a passenger left by the road But I'll tell you the reason you couldn't get home Cause there's nowhere you've been and it's nowhere you're going Home is only a feeling you get in your mind From the people you love and you travel beside You may feel like a passenger but now you're the driver You've got to go travelling, travelling on Because if you break down, it's a cold, hard shoulder So fuel up your mind and fire up your heart and drive on Drive on, drive on And when your days are darker, put your foot down harder Drive on, drive on. And it's nine more years you've been driving now But tonight you're stumbling through your old town You met up with a schoolfriend who's still just the same And you talked all the same shit you talked in those days And now you're drunk and you're sad for the old times passing you by For there's no rewind so you might as well play while your time is rolling away And get back on the road, it's a beautiful day Pick up all the friends you can find on your way And if you lose direction they'll be there guiding you on Guiding you, guiding you on. Because we're all going the same way down this long road Yes, we're all bound the same way down this long, long road. So fuel up your mind and fire up your heart and drive on Drive on, drive on And when your days are darker, put your foot down harder Drive on Fuel up, and drive on Fuel up, and drive on Drive on. |

January calls round to find me
Alone in this place where I've been living My real home lives down the river Where she's making circles with her tears And February blows even colder And I'll send my love downstream In words and verses in plastic boxes She's still unready to take them in And they're bobbing underneath the bridges Out to the ocean back Back on the rocks And the rain came down back in December When you told me you were drifting The waters rose while my door swung closed On the circles that you lived in We got so caught up in the swirls and eddies You never saw where you were heading Oh you were bobbing underneath the bridges Out to the ocean and back Back on the rocks And spring is only round the corner As I'm writing you this final letter I'll drop it in the cool green water At the bridge where we jumped in together And I hope it will be carried to you Cast upon the rocks beside you And I hope the words serve to remind of Someone you can leave behind you Someone who's got a hole inside Someone who'll be waiting here for you To take me from this burning bridge Before I end up back Back on the rocks |

Oh well her eyes they hypnotised
Like a pair of headlights And I remember how she crashed Headlong into my life So I said now close those eyes Stick a pin into this map And then she said now look around Because there'll be no looking back Oh but I've been looking since that day Since the day we parted But you don't find happiness When you're searching for it And I might have realised I was wasting precious time But I never had the chance to change the batteries in my watch Oh and it's a Monday night in June And I should be sleeping But it's so damn warm inside I'm in the garden dreaming And I've got one chair for myself And another for my feet But I still don't feel complete Well she calls me every day Just to touch base with me And the birds upon the wire They feel the electricity And I watch them as they fly And she lifts me up with them Until I fall for her again Oh and I've been working since that day Since the day I left her I'm making money watching birds But I don't feel no richer And I should have realised I was wasting precious time But I never had the chance to change the batteries in my watch Oh and it's a Monday night in June And I should be sleeping But it's so damn warm inside I'm in the garden dreaming And I've got one chair for myself And another for my feet But I still don't feel complete |
