Beautiful Monday Some people say the week’s too long The weekend sunshine always gone You know it rained on Friday Was cold the whole night through But there’s a brand new light babe And it’s shining for you It's a Beautiful Monday Some people say don’t hope too hard Tie up your pipe-dreams in the yard Don’t try and it can’t hurt you You’re safe the whole night through But there’s a brand new fight babe And it’s spoiling for you It's a Beautiful Monday

I know it was all my fault I should have known what to say But I wont do it next time I wont get in your way No I wont get in your way Again It happened again But its not what it seems You’re still the man I fell for You’re still the man of my dreams I just wont get in your way Again I’ll just ignore the bruises You’ve left inside and out Sweep up the broken glass I won’t scream and shout I wont try to run away Coz I know we’ll work it out I won’t cry out loud That’s not what love’s about I know you didn’t mean it You would never raise your hand It was just the drink that was talking You work hard, I understand And I wont get in your way Again But I couldn’t leave now if I wanted to Coz you’ve taken all I had My friends, my home, my heart, my soul, Made me see I’m bad Even if I wanted to I’ve got nowhere to go I’ll just turn the other cheek Coz we’ll work it out, I know I know you mean it this time Though you’ve promise me before Every day you don’t have fists for me I love you a little more And I wont get in your way No I wont get in your way

I know you’re hurting And I know you don’t want to say it out loud But you don’t have to be the tower of strength You don’t have to be so proud When you’re shattered like lead crystal Into a thousand pieces, know That I’d hold them in my palm And I won’t let go Let me be there when you’re backed up to the wall Let me be there when you’re trying to make sense of it all Let me be there to cry sapphire tears for you You don’t have to do it all alone You’re never on your own We’ve run a long road together From the playground when we were six years old We’ve shared our stormy weather You’ve been my log fire in the freezing cold When the cruel labyrinth tangles Into a thousand tunnels, know That I’ll pace right beside you And I won’t let go Let me be there when the rain starts to fall Let me be there when you’re trying to make sense of it all Let me be there to cry sapphire tears for you You don’t have to do it all alone You’re never on your own

Mahogany Radio We used to listen to vinyl on the Mahogany Radio He’d talk and I would listen about the things that I should know Once he told me a story about a picture of the queen And that Mahogany Radio was a comfort in my teens I took that comfort with me as twice I packed my bags Spent time in places with lions and dragon on their flags And when it seemed that homewards was the last way I would go I had the music inside me from the Mahogany Radio At times the world has been tuneless Blowing the gale of the fight Now I’m tuned in to radio hopeful And I know it will be all right The years skip by into adulthood and the winds become less wild Thrice I returned to the lion, and each time felt like a child But at home with the vinyl playing, no end to what he would give Those nights with Mahogany Radio taught me how to live That mahogany radio taught me how to live

Shelter From The Storm (for Isobelle) The first time your Mother heard you laughing The first time your Daddy saw you cry Open up your eyes and see the sunshine We dreamed of all the things you’d every try And we’ll do our best to shelter you from every storm Wrap you up and keep you safe and warm Show you all the love and strength and courage That arrived the day that you were born Each time a cloud becomes a castle Each time you learn something new Every time your soul is touched with wonder Our hearts and souls will be touched too And on those days when the sun won’t shine We’ll be on our way, put your hand in mine And we’ll do our best to shelter you from every storm Wrap you up and keep you safe and warm Show you all the love and strength and courage That arrived the day that you were born

The Heron 04:40
The Heron The heron stood and he looked at me Began to fly away Then he said ‘come follow me’ So I spread my wings And flew from the nest In my tree Fly Fly Wait for me In the sky So we flew over the lake At Kandalama And I saw my life anew And the heron he saw me smile Told me ‘you can fly You don’t need my wings You just need you, and yours’ So fly Fly Don’t wait for me I’ll meet you in the sky So when my heron Flies through my mind I have to know that I am brave I’ll make it home And the feeling that I’m alone fly away

Mister Merchandise Mr. Merchandise is on every street, if you got Somethin’ to trade then he’ll be there to greet Even if you haven’t he’ll give it all he’s got And you’ll end up buying something if you like it or not Mr Merchandise he does it so well Mr Merchandise and his hard sell He’d get you to buy a snowball If you were en route to hell Mr. Merchandise Mr. Merchandise can get you a watch Talk you into purchasing a kick in the crotch He’ll tell you there’s a refund, money back guarantee But instead you go to China with a sack of his tea He sells the snow to Eskimos, he sells tartan paint Once he even sold good will to a saint You wanna trade your soul, he’ll quote you a price He’s Mr. Merchandise

The Windmill 03:17
The Windmill In her hair she wore a crown of cornflowers, And the windmill was her home She had been kissed, but only by a thistle And been loved by a stone She dreamed of black water on silver shores She’d walk with her lover, someone she’d adore But after half a million tick-tocks more, coz No one can make time stand still At the inn his ale tasted dirty And his knife and fork were cold He wonders what’s the point of being happy With a soul that’s tired and old He dusted the rust from her wedding ring No day in the church, no anthem to sing He spent half a million hours aching, but No one can make time stand still When sunset came he strolled up to the windmill And he saw her in the light Instantly his heart forgot its torment And as the day became the night He stepped forward and reached out his arm To see just a corn dolly rest in his palm If life is the storm maybe love is the calm No one can make time stand still

So here we stand at the end of the road There's no light and it's cold But you know that I have to say goodbye But I'll remember our time for the rest of my life.. So you go your way and I go mine There's no hope and no time But the day that I knew I had to cry You said things have changed and so have I Now everything's changed forever And so have I

Strangers 05:44
Strangers All the time I wished away made me say I would only sing for strangers All the tears I wiped away, everyday made me say That I’d only sing for strangers I know why you hate me Why you look at me and ask who It’s coz you hate yourself And you think I’m a reflection of you Reflection of you All the time I wished away made me say I would only sing for strangers Even though I’m far away you will stay close to me Coz we’re not strangers I know why you forgot me Why you think of me and ask who It’s coz you forget yourself And you think I’m a reflection of you Reflection of you All the things we left unsaid All the things floating in our heads You would have known what to do with me You would have known if you could see This is the inside of me You never saw me inside
