Leave This Town
04:31

Falling backwards into the floor
I’m not sure if I’m here at all
There’s no way I could ever leave this town
But I can’t stand it here anymore
Oh but I, I can’t wait
For you to shut that door
I hope, not too late
There’s only so much of you that I can adore
Smoking silently watching on
It’s easy to see from the outside
What’s going on, who’ll be gone after the next few shots
And who’ll be going home with you
Oh but I, I can’t wait
For you to shut that door
I hope, you’ll do it soon
There’s only so much of this that I can endure
Day by day, I’ll be wasting away
There’ll be nothing more to me than meets the eye
When you’re empty as a glass no longer half full
Well it makes it far harder to cry
There’s no way that I could ever leave this town
But I can’t stand it here anymore

Everyday
03:11

Is it better wondering how it could be,
With all the things you wished but never could see
Now they're gone and left you alone
When you were young and thought it's never ending
And all the things you wished were ever changing
We could go and hide from all of the things you left behind
But nothing's the same now,
The years get longer while you'll still wonder
How everything's changed,
And how you feel on your own
My, my, all the good things
You've known as true have left you saying
Bye, bye, to all the places
You've known as real and now they're gone
Change has come with everyday
When you get older is it better knowing
All the things you wished when you were growing
Like will you fly and leave the weight of the world below
But nothing's the same now,
The years get longer while you'll still wonder
How everything's changed,
And how you feel on your own
My, my, all the good things
You've known as true have left you saying
Bye, bye, to all the places
You've known as real and now they're gone
Change has come with everyday
My, my, all the good things
You've known as true have left you saying
Bye, bye, to all the places
You've known as real and now they're gone
Change has come with everyday

Hazy
04:48

Where are we going?
What are we doing today?
Please make a decision now or this day will just waste away
I’ve got too much time on my hands, I’m getting fed up with this lazy scheme
I need to do something now, my motivation is wearing away
Oh my, why must you be so hazy
My patience is wearing thin
My friend, although we’ve had our ups and downs
The smiles outweigh the frowns
What are we doing?
Where are we going this week?
I must admit that the forecast feels rather shit
But the rain doesn’t have to be bleak
We can still feel the sand under our feet
We can laugh we can cry, and get real high
Wig out in the morning and wave at the birds in the sky
Oh my, why must you be so hazy
My patience is wearing thin
My friend, although we’ve had our ups and downs
The smiles outweigh the frowns
Cause we’re all on borrowed time
We’re smiling while our insides are dying
We’re running around like headless chooks
Our morals are shook,
But we’ll all turn a blind eye, yeah
Oh my, why must you be so hazy
My patience is wearing thin
My friend, although we’ve had our ups and downs
The smiles outweigh the frowns
And I know, I know that I can be quite lazy
But that’s okay sometimes
Cause I know, that twenty years from now
If we’re both alive
We can run away
We can try to stay
Or just lay down in the sun

Tell Me
03:07
|

Each day and night, when I’ll be there
You say a lie, without a care
I’ll say it wasn’t you,
Who lay me bare
Let me down on my knees to see
The things you do
just tell me that it’s right
And tell me that it’s you who’ll be here darling
Tell me that it’s you, you know you’re right
Tell me what has changed with every morning
Tell me that it’s you
If I should cry, you’d stand and stare
And if I died, you’re out of there
And tell me that its true
You’re coming back
Hanging round I don’t need to see
The things you do
Just tell me that it’s right
And tell me that it’s you who’ll be here darling
Tell me that it’s you, you know you’re right
Tell me what has changed with every morning
Tell me that it’s you
And tell me that it’s you who’ll be here darling
Tell me that it’s you, you know you’re right
Tell me what has changed with every morning
Tell me that it’s you
And tell me that it’s you who’ll be here darling
Tell me that it’s you, you know you’re right
Tell me what has changed with every morning
Tell me that it’s you

Beneath The Window
03:54
|

I was always thinking of ways that you could stay for a while
Lie beneath the window, hiding from the man hanging round
Thinking...
Games where we we’re chasing, reveling in places we’d found
Never could we face it, days when we we’re safe
Just to cry without reason, and hope all our troubles behind
In my mind
We’re still fine
Biding time
Ah, how could this happen
Ah, how could this be
Ah, how could this happen
Ah, how could this be
Oh these different days
They all just fade away
While you’re trying to hide
From the things you feel inside

Van Diemen's Land
03:13
|
|||
Hold me now,
Oh hold me now
'Til this hour
Has gone around
And I'm gone
On the rising tide
For to face
Van Diemen's land
It's a bitter pill
I swallow here
To be rent from one so dear
We fought for justice
And not for gain
But the magistrate
Sent me away
Now kings will rule
And the poor will toil
And tear their hands
As they tear the soil
But a day will come
In this dawning age
When an honest man
Sees an honest wage
Hold me now
Oh hold me now
'Til this hour
Has gone around
And I'm gone
On the rising tide
For to face Van Diemen's land
