We had a number of requests for lyrics from our first album. If you buy the CD, the lyrics are printed on the inside booklet.

If you downloaded the album or just heard a song on the radio and wanted to know the lyrics, this page is for you.

Sound Of Your Mind private people listen to what you know paranoid secrets running to and fro she talks in a rhyme and you say "what you mean?"some people take time listen to the sound of your mind chase the white noise through your damaged head block your ears now the line is dead we're all dead men running Complicated do you remember how it used to be? never regret missed opportunities i should have quit while i was ahead cos now you're gone and I'm alone instead how did it get so complicated? yesterday was so easy how did it get so complicated? good times, we had them way back when but in hindsight things were much simpler then get what you want is it ever what you find or just something you hide behind? get what you need is it ever yours to break or just another big mistake? i wanna fly to an island in the sun to understand just how we came undone I Can See Where This Is Going Now and I can't sit back anymore i can see where this is going now going to pick myself off the floor i can see where this is going now how you set your trap with a web of lies well you told me one thing and did another you're not my sister or my brother well I trusted you but you ambushed me and it's all too late to sympathise got a feeling inside there's a storm coming down today but I feel so alive going to reach for the sky anyway i can see where this is going now and I feel so betrayed i can see where this is going now don't believe what you say i can see where this is going now going to spread my wings and away I'll fly Orange Peel woke up one sunny day stepped out and blew her boy away drove out onto the highway she's smiling now she's miles away and she says I'll be your orange peel if you don't take me until sunset I'll be your orange peel if you don't use me till tomorrow dark visions flood her mind even when she's sleeping time catches up with her the skeletons are creeping now she has someone new once more the sun is shining her old life now forgotten and while she sleeps she's smiling Damaged you can't resist anything with a twist even if its all in a daydream i'm trying to connect with the parts you infect i need to get you out of my bloodstream i tried to leave but you followed me that's not the way its supposed to be i tried to leave but you followed me again i've been wondering how you got so damaged you try to hid it but deep down you know you're damaged i can see through you i thought i knew you i'm on the outside looking in i thought you'd get it you'll never get it this conversation is wearing thin scaring me more every day i'm terrified in every way now you tracked me down again where will it end? you bring my dark side into the sunshine i spend my time trying to get away but then you cling to me like you're in ecstacy you hang on every word i say Without You i didn't want you to try i was so cruel to be kind you said to give it some time but I think I've had enough I never told you to lie you put your name on the line you said to your place or mine? but I think I've had enough i don't know what to say cos you're going to do it anyway i don't know what to do but i'm going to do it without you i bought a ticket to ride but I never told you goodbye you said the stars were alligned but I think I've had enough.

Not Even Close you say its all to much now you seem to have lost your touch and I never see you around now you're driving me up and down you think you know how it goes you're not even close its right under your nose you're not even close its on the tip of my tongue i tried to tell you but I got stung and you need to look around maybe check the lost and found you wish you had the nerve all you get is what you deserve and when you fall to the ground you never even make a sound Couldn't Help Yourself she told me one more time only one more time and I'll say goodnight I couldn't be more confused so I blow a fuse, make me feel alright she made me sympathise so I close my eyes when I say goodnight I carry all your abuse so I sing the blues in the warm sunlight you couldn't help yourself she didn't want me to fly shot me down from the sky in the dead of night i didn't see the clues but I'll turn the screws when the time is right she doesn't understand why I can't get by when I feel contrite I didn't win or lose but I've been misused for a long long time You've Got It Made you've been sitting inside dreaming through your window watching the world roll by shedding tears on a pillow you failed to compromise with a look inside your eyes you've been feeling so afraid don't you know you've got it made there's a crack inside your door but its as tight as a drum you're a rich man who is poor did you have to be so dumb? you've been packing up your life flying through the clouds cut your pain with a knife as you shouted it out loud Wasting Time you're a box of secrets and no-one has the key i'm a jigsaw puzzle and you're the missing piece how do you remember what was taken in your sleep supposed to be forever and so you play for keeps if you ever look me in the eye i will lie awake all through the night just wasting time you're the hardest question in the easiest game you're a contradiction by another name you can talk the talk but you can't walk the walk you're so complicated but to you I'll always sway you're a fascination forever and a day Someone Else's Friend you looked the other way we ran out of things to say i told you all my fears now its ending in tears we never will get home again you're someone else's friend you came out Friday night we couldn't help but fight I turned my head to cry still I ask myself why? now we're together alone but we can't get back home i woke up feeling cold but you're as good as gold What You Want Me To Do you think you know what you're doing i know you've got something brewing but I don't want to say goodnight to you its what you want me to do you don't think your duplicity's showing I feel my frustration growing i'm hurt by those things you're saying I'm tired of the games that you're playing.
