LYRICS
Where have all the flowers gone
The fields where we once played
The grass is green in photographs
And now it’s washed away
Sands fall through the hourglass
Time and tide pass by
A butterfly hangs overhead
Then crashes from the sky
Look what we’re done
You will burn in our sun
You will eat what we breed
You will choke where we breathe
You will fight when we rest
You will die from our thefts
You will drink from our waste
We will die in disgrace
Everblue this we give to you
Look the other way
Just for one more day
We just look the other way
Sorry to betray
We just look the other way
Spend and let you pay
We just look the other way
Nothing more to say
We just look the other way
Just for one more day
We just look the other way
Sorry to betray
We just look the other way
Kiss your ass and pray
We just look the other way
Nothing more to say
Look the other way
Just for one more day
We just look the other way
Nothing more to say

Fade Away

LYRICS
There’s a house where I once played
On a hill so far away
And the walls on which I climbed seem much smaller now
The memories slowly fade
Of the childhood games I played
I sit and watch my son and daughters growing taller day by day
Where are they now?
These memories
As I grow older they fade away
There’s a school where I once learned
That the big boys often burned
And some friends that I knew then
Would leave for distant lands and not return
And in my childhood dreams
The world was smaller than it seemed
The truth that comes to pass is that reality is here to last
Where are they now?
My dreams are memories
As I grow older they fade away.

LYRICS
You take what you can find
You know the place, the time
You bend the rules that bind
You dance to free your mind
You give what you can’t take
You won’t admit mistakes
You want what you don’t have
You smile but you can’t laugh
Why do we run when there’s nowhere to hide?
Why don’t we cry when a small child has died?
Why don’t we hurt when the pains far away?
Why can’t we hear what our souls have to say?
You play to selfish rules
You joke and play the fool
You drift your life away
You need to have your say
You’re just a stubborn man
You think you have a plan
You cannot tell what’s real
You can touch, but don’t feel
Why do we run when there’s nowhere to hide?
Why don’t we cry when a small child has died?
Why don’t we hurt when the pains far away?
Why can’t we hear what our souls have to say?
Say, say, say
You learn the golden rule
You were not shown at school
You face your inner fears
You greet your twilight years
You have some time to think
You stand upon your brink
You hear your angels sing
You didn’t change a thing
Say you got it wrong
But you’re not the only one
Why do we run when there’s nowhere to hide?
Why don’t we cry when a small child has died?
Why don’t we hurt when the pains far away?
Why can’t we hear what our souls have to say?
What’s ya soul gonna say?

Scared To Dream

LYRICS
I don’t know what comes across me every day
I change my mind like it’s a dirty shirt
I’m fingers and thumbs at holding on to all I have
They fall and lie discarded in the dirt
With ease you break my fragile peace of mind
I’m scared to dream, I’m all alone
The sudden pain of losing all I know
I’m scared to dream, I hear me scream
The constant fear, not knowing what is best to do?
The never answered questions, I keep asking you
Familiar faces and those places where I go
I act so bored of everyone and everything I know.
With ease you break my fragile peace of mind
I’m scared to dream, scared to dream
The sudden pain of losing all the things I know
I’m scared to dream
Scared to dream

LYRICS
I hear your voice on the answer phone
I said I’d call on my way home
I hope you’re in when I get there
To hold you close
To show I care
Hold you, hold you in my arms
Hold me, hold me in your arms
Hold you, want you, hold you in my arms
Hold me, want me, take me in your arms

Big Cars

LYRICS
Big cars drive
10 lanes wide
Air con or die
At 55
Pimped up with pride
Skin hides inside
Kick down to drive
At 55
Sitting in my box there’s 18 kind of locks
Designed to set me free
Safe within my shell the radio talks to me
Alone no one can see
I want to drift away
Far from this stinking road
No-one can hear me pray
I want to shed this load
I drive my car
It takes me near or far
Faster than you
Red, amber, green… into the blue

Hold On
05:30
|

LYRICS
Despite ourselves we cannot win
No magic cream for fragile skin
When the world decides you’ve had your time
Prepare yourself to get in line
Hold on to what you’ve got
‘cos it can all go tomorrow
Hold on to every one you need
Hold on
Things can change
In spite of this we don’t give in
From sudden ends the new begins
When the world decides
To play its hand
Prepare yourself
Forget your plans
Hold on to what you’ve got
‘cos it can all go tomorrow
Hold on to every one you need
Hold on
Things can change

Hello
04:25

LYRICS
“Hello how ya doing?” I know what you’re going to say.
“I’m fine, could be better. Pull up a chair let’s talk about the weather”
I know how you’re feeling, I don’t need the words to see inside
the pain behind your pride, you always try to hide.
When you’re feeling down I’ll be around, I’ll always be beside you.
If you could read my mind you will find
a love that’s there just for you.
“Hello, how’s it going?
I’ve brought you some cards to wish you well, from those you know.
“Pull up a chair, let’s talk like we’ve got nowhere to go”.
And when you’re sleeping,
please know the hearts you hold within your dreams
always understand more than it first seems.
When you’re feeling down, we’ll be around, we’re always there beside you.
When you’re feeling fine, we’ll keep in mind
the times we had without you.
“So long, must be going”.
If I could I’d want to stay and sit here by your side,
and make this go away.
“See you tomorrow”.
Same time, same place, just a different day
when we will talk around the things we do not say
