Push the Button

Push the Button Push the button and let it all come out There's solace in the stimulation of that there is no doubt Pull the lever this never will die out There's sorrow without stimulation; the driest ever drought And though it's all electrified in every twist and shout Just use it up, abuse it up before we all burn out Push the button! Push the button there is no time to lose With every breath and every sigh we chase away the blues Change your gear, the tempo you can choose With every hue and every cry your voltage trips the fuse We know it's all electrified and open to abuse But schmooze it up, confuse it up it is the only muse Push the button! Push the button! Before we all die out Push the button! Push the button!

Wasting my Breath Bite my tongue when you turn your head There are some things that are better left unsaid Have you heard about the news today? She said, he said, she should walk away I know I'm wasting my breath But, I thought you ought to know My life's on the up from that all time low Wasting my breath. Until there's nothing left Don't worry 'bout me, I'll be fine although I'm second best Wasting my breath, like you might've guessed Don't worry 'bout me, I'll be here until my dying breath Bite my tongue when you turn your head There are some things that are better left unsaid Have you heard about the news today? She said, he said, she should walk away Wasting my breath until there's nothing left Don't worry 'bout me, I'll be safe although I'm second best Wasting my breath, like you might've guessed Don't worry 'bout me, I'll be here until my dying breath

Maybe Autumn 03:08
Maybe Autumn Face it up, you're the misfit Wishing you could see another path Maybe you've reached your limit And next year you'll have a better plan Autumn mists are superior Shroud your failures in their unholy swathe Maybe you were pushed to the edge And soon enough you'll find a clearer day It's not a day you can wander Climb the hills just to catch the view Another day when you wonder, in the end Will you see it through? Can you see it through? Finding out you're not the misfit Knowing now they can see it's true Maybe then they'll push those limits And soon enough they'll see the world anew It's not a day you can wander Climb the hills just to catch the view Another day when you wonder, in the end Will you see it through? Will you see it through? Maybe you'll see it's true You can pull through

Worry about it later There are some things few of us can face, Confession's not in our system There are times when we lose the race, Always learn from persistence There are places we'd rather be, Telling some how we miss them The search for truth, the burden of proof, The last word on insistence Defy as you might, You have to agree Love is lost, if there is no will to be free Worry about it later We've got too much time to spare I need the space to set the pace So I can run without a care Don't worry about the future There's no need to despair The past is lost, there is no cost To fortune's subtle heir There are new things we might's well face, Learning how to assist them There's a time, and there's a place for hope and love and existence You might go places beyond the sea, seeking those who will listen The search for proof, the burden of truth, the final key to acceptance Carry on without it, There's trouble in your need Nothing's gained in misfortune or misdeed Worry about it later We've got little time to spare I need the chase to catch the pace Then I can live without a prayer Don't worry about the future There's no need to despair The past is lost, there is no cost To fortune's subtle heir

Lift Me Up 02:59
Lift me up Lift me up so I get high Make me feel like I can touch the sky You don't know what you can do to me You don't show that you know what is real You don't know how much you mean to me You've got to bring it on so we can feel Lift me up so I get high Make me feel like I can touch the sky Lift me up so I get high Baby feel like we can kiss the sky Lift me up so I get high Make me feel like I can touch the sky Lift me up so I get high Baby feel like we can kiss the sky Lift me up so I get high Make me feel like I can touch the sky Lift me up so I get high Baby feel like we can kiss the sky Lift me up so I get high Make me feel like I can touch the sky Lift me up so I get high Baby feel like we can kiss the sky Lift me up Lift me up Lift me up Lift me up...

Candles It all changed in the blinking of an eye And all it took was a little white lie The candle flickered and you stared at the floor She said "it's over" and headed for the door Regrets you have and a pound of insecure Those wasted years were never part of the cure If you had your time again you'd get up off the floor If you had it all again you'd have boarded up that door When you see that you can never make amends You'll find your failings were just fair-weather friends You cannot sleep on it for the message that would send Until you realise you're burning the candle at both ends Take your time, but move on out to another place Don't stand in line, find your open space There's no disgrace, you can really change your mind Light it up, in the darkness you can shine When you see that you could never make amends You found your failings were just fair-weather friends You couldn't sleep on it for the message that would send And then you realise you're burning ... And then you realise you're burning And then you realise you're burning the candle at both ends

For the love of people In the light of day, staring... For the love people, we're moved in every way Understanding sight and sound we find a truth today For the love people, we're happy in our days And we send it down the mainline, but it comes right back again For the love people, we've got everything we need, Standing up for what is right, takes a little more to bleed For the love people, there's so much more despair We're acting out, the daily chore of castles in the air So many trials [so many ways to fail A dreadful story of those who did not try, not the story of our lives] For the love of people, still dancing in a dream When they make amends, well know exactly what they mean For the love people, we're happy in our ways and we heard it on the grapevine, so there's nothing more to say For the love of people with nothing left to say You handed on the message so we'll take it anyway For the love of people, no answers in the sand, the lines are drawn, the plan is right , no better time to take a stand For the love of people, A world beyond the stars A time without a life within, the wounds no more our scars For the love of people could we hold it in our hands Running through our fingers like a billion grains of sand For the love of people For the love of people For the love of people

Anatolia 06:14
Anatolia Moving through the empty places Confused by all the open spaces Climb the hill to reach the chapel The leaves are scorched within the dappled lighting on the ground Writing now a book for those to learn I devise a way to share the only Word To give them clarity in everything they've heard With faithless charity they open up and find it all absurd Whiter than the minaret, paler than the Virgin painted on the wall Whiter than the minaret, paler than the virgins waiting for your call Anatolia! Anatolia! Anatolia! Moving through the open spaces Confused by all the empty places Climb the hill to reach the chapel The leaves are scorched within the dapple lighting on the ground Tearing up the Book for no one learns I declare the fear to share that everybody yearns To take their charity and throw it on the ground With faithful clarity we hear the fighting in the desert sound Whiter than the minaret, paler than the Virgin painted on the wall Warmer than the leatherette, paler than the virgins waiting for your call Anatolia! Anatolia! Anatolia!

A Flight of Fancy A flight of fancy, just spread your wings Takes you on the way to better things The working day, working away It's not easy, back-breaking, low pay A flight of fancy, can change your life Rue the higher plain, more play, less strife Out of your comfort zone, and into the blue A chance you have to take, you know what to do A flight of fancy, just take your time Reach for the skies again, it's a slower climb A million migrant flyers, since times of old Flying the distance, just to escape the cold In life many questions, and flight holds the clue Take to the skies again, to find out what is true I capture the answer, but didn't think it through In flight there are questions, and an ending of blue A million migrant flyers, take epochs of old Flying the distance, just to escape the crushing cold A flight of fancy, just spread your wings Takes you on the way, to better things

Coaldust and Seaspray I was born with coal dust in my veins, but sea spray on my skin I don't know if I can shake it, I don't know where to begin Coal dust was feeding them, putting money in their hands But from my skin that sea spray, washed salt into the sand He fuelled this land, from down below, where a man could never weep I know that he could take it, for the family he'd keep But ageless rock would crush him Put his heart within her hand Yet from my skin that sea spray washed salt into the sand It broke her heart, to see him fade and give up on all hope In the dark, where wagons rolled on ancient, dusty slopes So now with children at her feet but the strength to carry on She worked her fingers to the bone until all her work was done Though light of day would blind her Tear her heart out of his hand Still from my skin that sea spray washes salt into the sand The timeless things they taught me roll down life's dusty slope In the dark, where wagons lie you never give up hope No ageless rock could crush us Pull our heart out of this land And from my skin that sea spray washing salt into the sand And from my skin that sea spray washes salt into the sand

Burning Out 04:02
Burning out If I'm still breathing Maybe I'm dreaming Either way, I'm screaming on the inside Raking through my feelings Maybe time isn't healing Oh no one’s really going to care If I don't reach the other side Smokin’ like a chimney, well They look at me dimly If someone doesn’t stop me I'm gonna burn right out Oh I am burning, I'm seething, I try to slow down But I am kicking and screaming Who am I fooling? If you're cooling on me Gotta wash me down and take the fire out of me All kinds of people Offer me the needle Pull your self together This has really gotta stop. APR charges Underdosed on largesse Empty words don't pay the bills Why don't you hand me down my favourite pills Feeding in a frenzy Well, I choke like Aiden Mackenzie But no one can stop me I'm turning on out Oh I'm burning, I'm screaming, just can't slow it down I am sticking to my feelings Who-am-I fooling? If you're cooling on me Got to wash me down and take the fire out of me Got to wash me down and take the fire out of me Got to wash me down and take the fire out of me Am I still learning My stomach's churning Either way, I'm burning on the inside
12.
Put them on hold I made the call that I'm a free man I talked wild of spirit, throughout the land I saw the wonders that were open to mankind I held up hope and love and life as gifts that we might shine Then days became much darker than the night The hope we had soon vanished from our sight The love we took for granted we'd never find Life fading fast as fear our hearts would bind We put you on hold Despite your objections Despite your deflections You will do as your told When you're out in the cold No time for reflection No more defection We bring you into the fold I dreamed that I could be a free man I wondered if my spirit just might find a plan I saw with wonder how despair crushed all mankind No hope to hold, no love nor life to help us shine We put you on hold Despite your objections Despite your deflections You will do as your told When you're out in the cold No time for reflection No more defection We'll drag you into the fold But, surely we can this hate denounce We can this fear renounce If there's one ounce, one single ounce of decency left inside We put them on hold Despite their objections Despite their deflections We come in from the cold We tear down the walls At last, On reflection from your hate we're defecting We reject all your calls We reject all your calls

Wild Honeysuckle Where the wild honeysuckle grows You make your love in the sun The sweet, sweet scent of your rose Ooh she takes her time, you know she's coming Choose your line, spend your time While love is still on your mind That deep, deep feeling The deepest feeling of all time The deep, deep feeling The deepest feelings of all time...of all time Where the wild honeysuckle grows (still growing) You make your love in the sun That sweet, sweet scent of your woman We all take loving as it comes Where the wild honeysuckle grows You found your love in the sun The bitter-sweet taste of the summer The autumn calls and you're heading home You took the line, it took your mind And now your love is out of time That deep, deep feeling The deepest feeling of all time The deep, deep feeling The deepest feelings of all time...of all time Where that wild honeysuckle grows Where does the wild honeysuckle grow? Where we go, nobody knows But, oh how that wild honeysuckle grows

Hidden Track 02:38
Hidden Track Make it breathe around you like a fire in your hearth Make it breed around you like a fire in your heart I have got no memory of what I've seen before But, I feel a fine line drawing And I turned away from the mystery that I had been before Could you know me? Where's the fire in your heart? Burning like a slow-burning soul I bring it back too Had to break the mystery But I don't need what I can't fear If I'm walking I'm right there with me Bad feeling, like a weirdo You're going off to bed That's what you're doing, with your thoughts on fire, bleeding out through the wire It's a long way, a long way back home.
