Track Name: Fresh Start
Dormant in our formative years
We traded modesty and copper coins for
L&B and Polish Beers
For one song less, we could have stayed at home
Quietly conceding ourselves...
For one dream less we could have stayed asleep
Just think of all the mistakes that you are yet to make
Take a deep breath, count to five and dive into the nearest sympathetic smile in sight...
Did you get laughed at when your back was turned?
I need a fresh start...
So here I stand depsondent at a train station in England
Quietly conceding myself
I have the correct chords now, and an orange plectrum in my wallet
And the back of an envelope on which to scrawl
How dare you put me up on a stage before all my peers and some of their parents and command me to play a set of phony Guns n' Roses covers???
Are you not entertained???
I need a fresh start...
Track Name: Hammy (or The Many Shades Of Beige)
A sparrow sang to me
As I was sleeping blissfully
Instant insanity
As I am woken gradually
You've got to make your own way in this world
Call off the second date
And if my fate can't wait
I might just
Turn up late
Put your lips to the Lethe
The eight of hearts has found me
All my false starts to ground me
You've got to make your own mistakes
There are many shades of beige
Bookmark every page
You've got to make
Your own
Mistakes
Bitter and cynical
Live by half 'till my plate is full
And if my fate can't wait
I will just equivocate
Don't give away your secrets
Like department store leaflets
The eight of hearts has found me
Put your lips to the Lethe
Back on for the second date
And if my guilt won't wilt
Dash to the dregs
At full tilt
Track Name: From The Ritz (La Paz)
If you want a confession, I wrote one in the condensation on the mirror of the ensuite bathroom
The mini-bar costs too much, but that won't stop me sobering up. Red Bull and free internet in the empty business suite
But we all deal with these things in our own little ways
If I said I was coping, then I would be lying to you
It's sad but you'll survive, and it will look like you're doing fine
I showered for an hour, to scour away the memory
While it's still fresh, while it pains me to say
That the death of a love drawn out indefinitely
Like the military occupation of a hopelessly crushed nation
Somewhat sours buffet breakfast at the Ritz
And I've trekked on mountains that were a lot bigger than this
Let the country club cleanse you of those things
So I check my bags packed, nothing left behind and free the last thoughts of you from my mind
Track Name: Nowheresy
A fork in the road but nowhere to go
Gone far away into the silent land
And all the things that got me excited
Have switched places with what I don't like
I'm uninvited
Stranded at the back
I know I know I know I know
You can't fit it all into one crystal ball
And if you find what I'm looking for, slip it underneath my back door
And all the things that got me excited
Have switched places with what I don't like
I'm uninvited
Stranded at the back
I'm uninvited
Stranded at the back

She knows, how it goes...
She thinks she knows, how it goes...
