Let Love Win

I'm gonna build a new Jerusalem in Hunslet Green
I'm gonna build an ark for the animals
I set them free
And I let love win
Let love win
Let love win
I thought about the things that we could sing as we sailed to sea
Forget about the things that Noah planned
We go in 3 by 3
Let love win
Let love win
Let love win
Yeah thats right Colin Mounsey lives to fight for another night
He can sing but he isn't very good in bed
Let love win
Let love win
Let love win

Is this the end computer friend
Your memory failed your system's dead
To log me out they shut you down
To save a life your memory died
We don’t talk about the things we see
The suffering the homeless and the weak
They changed you into something you can’t be
When they upgraded you to version 3
When I’m closed and removed
After a day of being used
Hard and soft
I’ve blow a fuse
Powered down
Distorting the news
Shaping ya views
Pull up ya pews
I’m a mirror of you
Love death, crews and troops
Play a game
I know you’ll lose
I’m hardwired
To hide truths
But I’ll show you
Every possible clue
Information for
The browns and the blues
Connecting and
Disconnecting when
I choose
Going slow till I freeze
Chronologically
And then they’ll upgrade me
Taking everything I know
And I’ve seen
Left with nothing
But a purpose to feed
Feeling useless when my power is weak
Now you're gone...
I’ll join you when
I fall asleep
Nothing can replace the things we’ve seen
And nothing really matters when you dream
I became a number on a screen
When they upgraded you to version 3
The suffering abusive men
The broken hearts of lesbians
Is this all that I can ever be?
Computers are the new humanity
They took my life and stole me memories
When they upgraded you to version 3

Only Sleep

For a glass of red wine I’d show you my scars
Did you stand in the rain and count all the cars
Cut me a line of cocaine and I’ll fetch my gun
I remembered your name but nothing you’d done
The rivers dry we go sailing
A promise made slowly breaking
I take you to bed but we only sleep
He carried a cross that we built of wood
Now I pray to the east and kneel in the blood
You’ll never change
The rivers dry we go sailing
A promise made slowly breaking
I take you to bed but we only sleep
The rivers dry we go sailing
A promise made slowly breaking
I take you to bed but we only sleep

South Yorkshire Cowboy
03:53
|
|||
|
We rode together on steel horses
Down Rivelin valley back to home
We made a promise to escape this city of stone
And ride like the cowboys on plains of our own
So where does a cowboy from South Yorkshire belong ?
Its quite clear Nebraska ain't my home
We dreamt of horses, firing rifles and open fields
With buckskins of leather & trusted steeds
Now my stetson looks tired and my gun is just a fake,
When time breaks your heart it's hard to take
So where does a cowboy from South Yorkshire belong ?
It's quite clear Nebraska ain't my home
as dreams became memories and time passed us by
My buddy gave up on his dreams and died
But I'll never forget you, and the cowboy dream we shared
Each night it's Nebraska and you in my head
So where does a cowboy from South Yorkshire belong ?
Some day Nebraska's the place i'll call home
Some day in Nebraska this cowboy will roam
And ride with my buddy on plains of our own

O My Brother

O my brother, carry me still
My grip is weak, I feel unwell
O my brother, the things we shared
The light grows dark, but I’m not scared
O my brother, hold me strong
I need you now it won't take long
O my brother stood next to me
And with your kiss you set me free
O my brother
O my saviour when things went wrong,
You were my guide and I belonged
You were my hero and always were
You were my friend and I was yours
O my brother, come back to me
To make me strong make me believe
Its not the end

Everyone Said Goodbye
03:02
|
|||
|
The pets all cried when you left, They never thought you would go
And all the pain that you felt, and they would never know
But everyone said goodbye
Everyone said goodbye
Everyone said goodbye
The animals they know best, They kept your tears in glass
Planted flowers for while, and painted stars with your smile
But everyone said goodbye
Everyone said goodbye
Everyone said goodbye
Could you forget if I lied, Or forgive if you tried
I still think of that time, I never got to say goodbye

Traveller's Song
02:24
|

I drove away from Hunslet
Never said goodbye
The motorway was calling
In the middle of the night
I never meant to hurt you
Or make you upset
But things that we don't talk about
Are things that I forget
I didn't wanna leave you
I didn't want to stay
I guess I'm just a traveller
I've always been this way
The year it passed so quickly
Since I left our home
I'm drinking more than ever babe
I thought that you should know
I might have said some things
Things that I regret
The thing that I regret the most
Are things I never said
I didn't wanna leave you
I didn't want to stay
I guess I'm just a traveller
I've always been this way
But if I never left
Would it be the same
Would I still regret the things that I never say
If I find myself in Hunslet
I'll come and look for you
You're probably down in Morrisons
Standing in queue
You've probably got a family
Children of your own
I'll be standing by myself
But I am not alone
I didn't really leave you
I didn't drive away
Cos I was only travelling until I found you babe
I was only travelling until I found you babe

Sing Goodbye
04:11
|
|||
|
I hope that you're safe asleep on the floor
Drugs that you take make you a whore
Dreams that you have in the night
Never came true
A constant reminder if fights
And I always lose
As we sing goodbye
As we sing goodbye
As we sing goodbye
I saw you last night on the street your make up looked good
I hope that he loves you the way that I never could
Take you the places you dreamed and make you feel safe
Banish the memory of me and all my mistakes
As we sing goodbye
As we sing goodbye
As we sing goodbye
Stay 'til he breaks you and then he will make you a star
Suck on his cock 'til he comes on your frock you'll go far
Sing Goodbye
Sing Goodbye
Sing Goodbye
