- 21st Century Kid
There's maybe a way I can tell you
'Cos with everyday things continue
To get more compromised,
So who will fantasise
A new generation politicised
When things are done in our own name
Are we as much to blame?
Now it's become clear to me,
- 7 days to change your life
Just one local call and you'll see
A happy path through life not for free
A little bit fat you can't get a girl
Short on cash I'll change your world
The only way now is straight up
Your deepest despair I'll make it stop
Just 19.95 all major credit cards
And you'll stay alive and you'll go far
- All At Sea
I'm all at sea
Where no-one can bother me
Forgot my roots
If only for a day
Just me and my thoughts sailing far away
Like a warm drink it seeps into my soul
Please just leave me right here on my own
Later on you could spend some time with me
- Back to the Ground
Lately, i've let myself go
I've been screening the calls
From my friends to my foes
Although I've been weak
Far for so very long
I gotta get myself
I gotta get myself
- Blame it on my youth
If, I expected love, when first we kissed, blame it on my youth
If only just for you, I did exist, blame it on my youth
I believed in everything
Like a child of three
You meant more than anything
You meant all the world to me
If, you were on my mind, all night and day, blame it on my youth
- But for Now
Sure I know you’d like to have me
Talk about my future
And a million words or so to fill you in about my past
Have I sisters or a brother
When’s my birthday how’s my mother
Well my dear in time I’ll answer all those things you ask
But for now I’ll just say I love you
- Edge of something
I've got some ways of forgetting now
What you're finding out, what you're finding out
I've got some ways of believing now
What you're leaving out, what you're leaving out
So take a reach down inside your soul
What you gonna find, what you gonna find
And it's so deep down inside your soul
What you leave behind, what you leave behind
- Everlasting love
Hearts gone astray
Deep in her when they go
I went away
Just when you needed me so
You won't regret
I'll come back begging you
Won't you forget
Welcome love we once knew
- Frontin'
Don’t want to sound full of myself or rude
But you ain't looking at no other dudes
Cause you love me
So you think about a chance
You find yourself trying to do my dance
Maybe cause you love me
So when we try
- Get your way
Dinner at eight, that sounds fine,
I suppose that means you'll turn up 'round nine.
Bought a bunch of flowers, just for her,
She says the burden's on the receiver.
I opened the door and you walked in,
(Sniff) The scent of wild jasmine.
The room, seemed to freeze in time,
- High and dry
Два прыжка в неделю - готов спорить, ты считаешь, что это умно, не так ли, мальчик?
Летая на своём мотоцикле, глядя, как под тобой обрушивается земля.
Ты убьёшь себя, чтобы стать узнаваемым, убьёшь, только чтобы не останавливаться.
Ты разбил ещё одно зеркало, ты превращаешься во что-то, чем не являешься.
Не оставляй меня ни с чем, не оставляй меня на мели.
Не оставляй меня ни с чем, не оставляй меня на мели.
- I'd Probably Do It Again
I met a girl at the beach
It was underneath a blazing sun,
Just like usual I was looking for a little fun,
I was sitting and chilling out
And listening to the braking waves
That’s when the day really started to change
Rising out of the sea like Excalibur’s sword,
- I'm All Over It
Hello innocence
Though it seems like we’ve been friends for years
I’m finishing
How I wish it had never begun
Though it should be the last one
And it’s dragging me down to my knees
Where I’m begging you please
Let me go
- I'm Glad There Is You
Said I many times, love is illusion,
a feeling result of confusion
with knowing smile and blasé sigh,
a cynical so and so, am I.
I feel so sure, so positive,
so utterly unchangeably certain
though I never was aware of loving you
- If I Ruled The World
If I ruled the world, every day would be the first day of spring
Every heart would have a new song to sing
And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring
If I ruled the world, every man would be as free as a bird
Every voice would be a voice to be heard
Take my word we would treasure each day that occurred
- In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning
In the wee small hours of the morning,
While the whole wide world is fast asleep,
You lie awake and think about the girl
And never, ever think of counting sheep.
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson,
You’d be hers if only she would call,
In the wee small hours of the morning,
- Interlude
I live in a dream for a moment
We'd loved in a midnight solitude
But I never knew at the moment
Love was just an interlude
I thrill as your arms would enfold me
A kiss of surrender says the mood
Then heaven fell down when you told me
- It Ain't Necessarily So
It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
The t'ings dat yo' li'ble
To read in de Bible,
It ain't necessarily so.
Li'l David was small, but oh my !
Li'l David was small, but oh my !
He fought Big Goliath
- London Skies
London Skies
Paint a picture,
Clear cut and pale on a cold winter's day,
Shapes and cool light wander the streets like an army of strays,
On a cold winters day.
Chorus:
- Love Ain't Gonna Let You Down
Everyone knows that I'm rightfully yours
So bring out your dirt from your previous wars
So lay thee to rest
'cause I'm chasing away all the dust that you're leaving behind
CHORUS:
Because Love ain't gonna let you down
love ain't gonna let you down no more (hmm)
- Lover, You Should Have Come Over
Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
Maybe I'm too young to keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you're on my mind so you'll never know
I'm broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it
Where are you tonight, you know how much I need it
Too young to hold on and too old to break free and run
- Mind Trick
I missed the opportunity
To get you babe
To stay with me.
Never thought, I'd regret
The excuses that I've made
Like a song, it will fade
If there's music in the night,
- Mixtape
Everything I know is you
Let me tell you what we're listening to
I'm a gentle soul I'm sure
But on the stereo I'm a dictator
Do you even have a tape machine
To facilitate my plastic dreams?
All the things that I have seen
- My Yard
so hail a taxi cab and come around here
and i will meet you right outside.
i got some DVDs and a couple of beers,
if you want to,
we can stay up all night.
it's nothing fancy, just a little couch and me
and conversation for your mind.
so let's explore all the possibilities
- Next Year, Baby
Next Year,
Things are gonna change,
Gonna drink less beer
And start all over again
Gonna pull up my socks
Gonna clean my shower
Not gonna live by the clock
But get up at a decent hour
- Oh God
I know it's been a while since I have talked to you
But maybe you're the one who makes the winds blow
We're looking at the stars without explanation
We contemplate as kings and simple men on trial
Our little world's fragile
Oh God can you tell us when it's going to stop
Maybe it's not just down to you
- Photograph
Her name was written on a photograph,
Right next to her red, sunburnt face,
It all had happened in that long tall grass,
About a mile from her old place,
I can't remember how it started
And if it lasted that day in the sun.
We said that we were going to study hard,
- Please dont stop the music
It's gettin late
I'm making my way over to my favorite place
I gotta get my body moving
shake the stress away
I wasn't looking for nobody when you looked my way
Possible candidate (yeah)
- Pointless Nostalgic
Ain't thinking 'bout love today
Lost in the sunlight
Walking down memory lane
Ain't thinking 'bout you today
People from the past that I knew
Are slowly slipping away
Seems so long ago
- Save Your Soul
Know this, it's a universal truth
People let you down
So reach out for the things that you can use
Buried in the ground
I think I've been misunderstood
Not all my choices have been good
In the fading light
- Singin in the rain
I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love, for love
- These are the days
These are the days that I've been missing,
Give me the taste, give me the joy of summer wine.
These are the days that bring new meaning,
I feel the stillness of the sun and I feel fine.
Sometimes when the nights are closing early,
I remember you and I start to smile.
- Too Close For Comfort
Be wise. Be fair. Be sure. Be there. Behave. Beware.
Be wise, be smart, behave, my heart
Don't upset your cart when she's so close
Be soft, be sweet, but be discreet
Don't go off your feet, she's to close for comfort
Too close, too close for comfort, no, not again
- Twenty Something
After years of expensive education
A car full of books and anticipation
I'm an expert on Shakespeare and that's a hell of a lot
But the world don't need scholars as much as I thought
Maybe I'll go traveling for a year
Finding myself, or start a career
I could work for the poor, though I'm hungry for fame
We all seem so different but we're just the same
- Twentysomething

- We Run Things
We Run Things
We run things another way,
We run things another way,
Getting love if you can love (yeah)
Getting love if you can love (yeah)
Nothing left for you to say,
Trouble melts and ridence stays,
Don't stop 'coz it's getting tense now.
- Well You Needn't
You're talkin' so sweet well you needn't
You say you won't cheat well you needn't
You're tappin' your feet well you needn't
It's over now, it's over now
You're dressin' with class well you needn't
You're holdin' your sass well you needn't
You think you're a gas well you needn't
- What a difference a day made
"What a Difference a Day Made" is a popular song originally written in Spanish by María Méndez Grever, a Mexican composer, in 1934.
What a difference a day made,
twenty four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
where there use to be rain.
My yesterday was blue, dear
- Wheels
Everyday you live a life so full of hope
Shouldn't drag your soul around you like a leather vogue
You remember everything you thought your life would be
Well its fallin through the craks of ancient history
Oh, Is this something that I never, something that i never had
Oh, Is this something that I never, something that i never had
Tell you what I've heard
- You and me are gone
Every time I see what's written on your mind
I turn away and drop my guard
Your high horse will be the leader of the blind
Tender love and truth aside
I'm in possession of so many tones
I loved it all my life
Feel the rhythm in your very bones
I never sleep at night.
