Far gone, long away, dance and music held you in sway, in prayer to the light, burn, or the night will follow I've heard hearsay, but maybe I am not all you say Ghost light the night, gold silver bright on blue I've heard hearsay, but turn and I'll be further away Ghost light the night, gold silver bright I am ghost light tonight, gold silver bright, I am ghost light tonight Ghost light the night, gold silver bright, I am ghost light tonight Ghost light the night, gold silver bright, I am ghost light tonight Ghost light the night, gold silver bright, I am ghost light tonight In falling, in flight until lost and away Ghost light the night Gold silver bright on blue In gold silver I will be lost and away Gold silver bright on blue
3.	Drunk is a Holiday 04:18	lyrics	buy track
We were knock-down sore on the drop-down floor ‘Til we couldn’t reply Through the downhill door where every more means more ‘Though we couldn’t say why All unbelievers, underachievers, We give ourselves to whoever will receive us We know the story, And ‘though we’re sorry, Still, we’ll be the last to go But when we go clear, Drunk is a holiday So come on along for the ride Disappear here, Fade into faraway Come in, it’s cold outside Carmelita, hold me tight, Give me something I can fight The calm, beguiling, Until you’re smiling Our little slice of forever to be whiling Where e’er I wander I never worry ‘Though I be the last to know But when we go clear, Drunk is a holiday So come on along for the ride Disappear here, Fade into faraway Come in, it’s cold outside Oh, what a scene, Oh, what a sight Morning is broken, Get out of the light Disappear here, Oh, what a sight I will be yours ‘til the end of the night So come on along for the ride Come in, it’s cold outside Carmelita, hold me tight Give me something I can fight
4.	Yesterday's Already Light Years Away 03:22	lyrics	buy track
Under Jamaica Bridge There’s a spot the rain doesn’t reach The river laps and lulls me asleep And ever since I whirled out of the eddy I’ve heard it already Midnight, and yesterday’s already light years away Overhead railway lines, Taillights leave the night behind And ever since I whirled out of the eddy I’ve heard it already Midnight, and yesterday’s already light years away Cool, below the moonlight lustre, Soon to know the rush and bluster Come nine to five, Their tomorrow will soon arrive Somewhere to there from here Is where we disappear Crazy for feeling so lonely Whirled out of the eddy I’ve heard it already Midnight, and yesterday’s already light years away I’ve been around since then And been around again And nine times out of ten I don’t remember
5.	Ride the White Horses 04:05	lyrics	buy track
Green for the land Blue for the ocean Blue for the ocean Blue into pale sky There’s gold in the sand, And graceful the motion Graceful the motion, Sure in the line, in the rise and the fall All to ride the white horses All to ride the white horses All to ride the white horses Clear is the lark song And pure in devotion Pure in devotion And sure as we sail By the comb of the wind, By the bluebirds in Dover, To all the world over, Time and the tide, In the rise In the fall All to ride the white horses All to ride the white horses All to ride the white horses Around and away All to ride the white horses All to ride the white horses, we’ll go In the rise In the fall All to ride the white horses All to ride the white horses All to ride the white horses Around and away All to ride the white horses All to ride the white horses All to ride the white horses, We’ll go
6.	What You Came For 02:34	lyrics	buy track
To the man with the plan, you'll be honoured when you kneel All the splash of the cash but you're just another deal Are you gonna keep it real or keep it real nice? Oh, you're gonna be a steal when you're half price Are you gonna hold steady through the lean time? Is your body beach ready in the meantime? Aren't you getting what you came for? Aren't you getting what you came for? Hard to get and all to play for Aren't you getting what you came for? For every fake crown, a shakedown, a hustle on the scene In the land of the bland are you gonna be a queen? Say, you’re looking pretty cute when you're lonesome Are you gonna go shoot on your ownsome? Or you gonna get jiggy with your game face? Can I meet you same time at the same place? Aren't you getting what you came for? Aren't you getting what you came for? Hard to get and all to play for Aren't you getting what you came for? Lock picking, safe cracking to the jackpot Lip licking and packing like a hot shot Clock, click it, buy a ticket and a chance for Wouldn't be ya but I'll see ya on the dancefloor Aren't you getting what you came for? Aren't you getting what you came for? Hard to get and all to play for Aren't you getting what you Aren't you getting what you came for? Aren't you getting what you Aren't you getting what you came for?

Ooh, something of the night… I was looking for a lumber and a way out of the cold What's your name and what's your number? If I may be so bold Well come on in a little closer I promise I won't bite Are you looking for love? Approximation of? Or just something of the night? Some pay you in silver Some pay you in gold I'm gonna pay you in kisses darlin And all that you can hold Did you ever get to feel like you wanna set the world alight? Well, don't wake up it's a hell of a dream Baby, something of the night Let me tell you a little secret I'm an angel in disguise I could sell you one home truth Or a bumper pack of lies Are you searching for an answer That is hiding in plain sight? Are you looking for love? Approximation of? Or just something of the night? I could tell you a little story but you'd never turn out the light Are you looking for love? Approximation of? Or just something of the night? Are you looking for love? Approximation of? Or just something of the night? Or just something of the night? Or just something of the night?

Kite high and I don't care about a thing Time fly to what tomorrow may bring And how do you do? Don't you know? And hey, are we through?

9.	Everything's Alright Fine 03:27	lyrics	buy track
Dreaming the afternoon Waiting to ask the moon Are you trying to make me blue? Are you something to hold on to? Until daylight breaking on through Are you looking for someone? To be like the sweet ache I can believe in, hold like a keepsake after the leaving Heaven can sleep tight Everything's alright fine, uhuhuh Daylight dusted and gone Streetlights coming on, Rush hour crawling along Radio, give me a song I got that feeling coming on strong Like I'm looking for someone To be like the sweet ache I can believe in, hold like a keepsake after the leaving Heaven can sleep tight Everything's alright fine Heaven can sleep tight Everything's alright fine Hey, out of line, are you trying to read my mind? Cos I'm just flying blind, But if you're the travelling kind, everything's alright, fine

11.	A Chemical Dream 03:10	lyrics	buy track
Sweet deceiving, like a fancy boy as we teeter on the edge of night The party's leaving and there's no more joy and it's clear enough to see the light From the midnight high to the morning sigh Let the sweet release disconnect, untie Below us, the city, glowing and pretty It may be a lie, ah but what a lie! Sunrise and holy morning Surprise! I'm here but I'm gone And I've been lost inside a chemical dream And a make-believe, wild-heavenly Only borrowed time on the bottom line With tomorrow's lease to collect and sign I've lied to be a someone, felt like a no one But maybe tomorrow we start anew Sunrise and holy morning Surprise! I'm here but I'm gone And I've been lost inside a chemical dream And a make-believe, wild-heavenly I've been lost inside a chemical dream Oh, holy morning, Surprise! I'm here but I'm gone And I've been lost inside a chemical dream And a make-believe, wild-heavenly A chemical dream
12.	What Boys Do 03:05	lyrics	buy track
From ridicule to the sweet sublime Maybe you should try me sometime 'Cos I got you on my mind And I think I might go blind Empathy is a far commute When you're young, dumb, selfish and cute Now I'm twice bitten, once shy, scorned But I can't say that I wasn't warned Look up from your scrolling and streaming And tell me it’s living And not only dreaming Of one shot, a long shot, at glory I got one shot, a long shot at glory I got one shot, a long shot at glory I got one shot, a long shot at glory All the big talk and then we're through But that's just what boys do Here goes, to a new way of living It's sunrise, and all of the world is forgiven For one shot, a long shot, at glory I got one shot, a long shot at glory I got one shot, a long shot at glory I got one shot, a long shot at glory Wake up, there’s a world for the winning And each, every end Will be one more beginning For one shot, a long shot, at glory I got one shot, a long shot at glory I got one shot, a long shot at glory I got one shot, a long shot at glory Got one shot, a long shot, at glory I got one shot, a long shot, at glory
13.	Starlight International 03:24	lyrics	buy track
Pale light, flicker into sunrise glow Through to late-night ticker-tape and moonlight show There's a passage cleared for you, don't you know? Like a message sent to earth, from long ago Starlight international, eyes set to stun On the starlight international dance around the sun, yeah! One time for the kicks and once to save your life Now this is where we let the tension go I'm over the radar Which way up is sky? Ooh did I ever stop to mention Starlight international, eyes set to stun? On the starlight international dance round the sun, yeah! One time for the kicks and once to save your life Now this is where we take the tension Through the outer blue and open up the sky Sad to go but, ooh, some way to say goodbye Starlight international, eyes set to stun On the starlight international dance round the sun, yeah! One time for the kicks and once to save your life Ooh, baby we don't need the tension Starlight international, eyes set to stun On the starlight international dance round the sun, yeah! One time for the kicks and once to save your life And we'll be flying international, yeah! We'll be flying international
14.	Boom Boom Cannonball 02:52	lyrics	buy track
I’m low on resistance and ill of repute But high on persistence and hot in pursuit I can’t get arrested I should be in jail With hips like these honey How can I fail? I’m drinking the poison like taking the cure I may not know much but I know when I’m sure I shouldn’t be allowed There should be a law I’ll roll over baby I’ll give you a paw I’m comin, I’m comin To answer your call ‘Cos I am your sweet boy Cha boom, boom cannonball Dress for me darlin’ I love you that way And all through the night And through each, every day I’ll eat you for breakfast I’ll eat you for lunch I’ll keep some for dinner and a midnight munch There be those who’d deny you the air that you breathe We’re shakin our butts while they fester and seethe How it shouldn’t be allowed There should be a law Ooh, roll over baby And gimme a paw I’m comin, I’m comin To answer your call ‘Cos I am your sweet boy Cha boom, boom cannonball It shouldn’t be allowed There should be a law Ooh, roll over baby And gimme a paw I’m comin, I’m comin To answer your call ‘Cos I am your sweet boy Cha boom, boom cannonball I’ll roll over baby I’ll give you a paw I’m comin, I’m comin To answer your call ‘Cos I am your sweet boy Cha boom, boom cannonball
15.	The Strangest Thing 06:03	lyrics	buy track
Well, it's the strangest thing Did you catch the watcher's eye? Underneath a funeral sky Can you catch the sunrise in a smile? Well, I thought I might as well Heaven knows, I'm straight to hell See you in a while, crocodile Maybe I'll always be a fool for this Lucky's on the run Until over and done Who will be the one? Who will be the one? Who will be the one you're dreaming of? Who will be the one? Who will be the one? Who will be the one you're dreaming of? Well, it's the strangest thing Can't you hear that different drum? That's how to find something you've never known Tell me when you take the hit Are you kind of into it? Pretty like a candle until blown Maybe I'll always be a fool for this Lucky's having fun Until over and done Who will be the one? Who will be the one? Who will be the one you're dreaming of? Who will be the one? Who will be the one? Who will be the one you're dreaming of? Well, it's the strangest thing On and on and on, I've had it On and on and on, I've had it Who will be the one? Who will be the one? Who will be the one you're dreaming of? Well, it's the strangest thing Sure as the days now bring on and on and on I've had it, on and on and on, I've had it On and on and on, I've had enough now Have I had enough now? Well, it's the strangest thing Can you catch the sunrise? Can you catch the sunrise in a smile? Can you catch the sunrise? Can you catch the sunrise? Well, it's the strangest thing
16.	There's Barely Enough Time To Breathe 03:21	lyrics	buy track
Morning, as bitter and cold as the ocean By dawn’s early cloud, now awake and arise And if you’re lucky or useful or plucky You might get the chance to grow old Can’t we sleep late? Let the day play for keeps Until dusk falls and sweeps All the haze and the dust from the street And I’ll find the time, some other time In some other world, maybe some other lifetime Have you found the time? Some other time? Then go, hurry, go now And I wish you well, No, I won’t need the names, or details How shall the picture be drawn, As now, in the moment, or gone? Taillights to city by Westway, It’s kind of pretty when far away And I’ll find the time, some other time In some other world, maybe some other lifetime Have you found the time? Some other time? Well go, hurry, go now There’s barely enough time to breathe Go, hurry, go now There’s barely enough time to breathe, Enough time to breathe Once through the workday Taillights to Westway I’m already counting the miles away
17.	Freediving 03:53	lyrics	buy track
The long way home takes the western road out of town Any moment you will find, be taken one more time Like light and motion, sure as word unbroken, silence and the question still unspoken, still unknown Part the branches and hold until we're past and by, In the distance on the shore, a dress is folded I will hold you long and sweet and this night will keep its secrets I'm afraid a lifetime isn't any time at all Far below, high above, who takes you where you want to go? Dario, diving breathless down and through the undertow Moonlight and all that takes you where you want to go Dario, diving breathless down and through the undertow Far below, the night exchanges the high and all the moonlight above you, anywhere you want to go Dario, diving breathless down and through the undertow Far below, the night exchanges, the light that changes you
18.	Those First Impressions 04:15	lyrics	buy track
There were times when I said Hold me back, hold my hand Take me there, to your love I've said prayers long enough Those first impressions, they keep us guessing In old familiar ways with nothing new to say It only tires me But when you fire me, I want for nothing in this world Was I lost? Was I weak? We were lying cheek to cheek So convinced of my fall That I fell for feeling small Those first impressions, they keep us guessing In old familiar ways, with nothing new to say It only tires me But when you fire me, I want for nothing in this world It only tires me But when you fire me, I want for nothing in this world Those first impressions, they keep us guessing In old familiar ways With nothing new to say It only tires me But when you fire me, I want for nothing in this world
19.	The Night Will Take You 03:47	lyrics	buy track
I like to sing along And deep inside a song To stop, unwind the clock And with a little knock on wood, now open the door I am one half, hopeless But half what you're looking for I'll tell you all a story The best that words can buy I'll tell you all a secret But it could be a lie Bright candles, wishes to blow So close your eyes And you'll go where the night will take you Our calling, Is this breakthrough? Or falling? I’ll raise you the nightlong through And see you the sunrise too Gentle dark, what dreams shall we know? So close your eyes And you'll go where the night will take you Our calling, Is this breakthrough? Or falling? I'll raise you the nightlong through And sweet shall the sunrise wake you My darlin Is this breakthrough? Or falling? I'll raise you the nightlong through And see you the sunrise too I've told you all a story The best my words can buy I've told you all my secret So, truth or dare or lie?
