1.They Can't Buy The Sunshine
All and all it's been a blast
But fame and fortune never lasts
So, we'll take refuge in the sound
They burned our churches to the ground
But they can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
But they can't stop the sun, shine on the sun, the sun, the sun
We may have sold our very souls
The ghosts inside the radio
They warned us once and they told us twice
This life's never very nice
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
They can't stop the sun, shine on the sun, the sun, the sun
The credit card skyline rises high
Crushing the sky and multiplies
They're buying up souls to fill their holes
We know the one thing they don't know
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
But they can't stop the sunshine
They can't stop the sunshine
They can't stop the sun, shine on the sun, the sun, the sun
(Shine) Shine on the sun, the sun, the sun
(Shine) Shine on the sun, the sun, the sun
(Shine) Shine on the sun, the sun, the sun
(Shine) Shine on the sun, the sun, the sun
2.Red Moon
Sometimes just letting go is easier
Dead friends can't come back
They're gone and life goes on
If you try, you'll be alright
If you try, you'll be alright
I'm hanging around with you
We're catching the starlight
Underneath a red moon
Leaving the city tonight
We're finding our freedom
Underneath a red moon
Oh no, no, no, nooo
Leave your woes behind
Start the car and drive
Deserts bring you home
The only roads you've known
If you try, you'll be alright
If you try, you'll be alright
I'm hanging around with you
We're catching the starlight
Underneath a red moon
Leaving the city tonight
We're finding our freedom
Underneath a red moon
Oh no, no, no, nooo
Here it comes, you might as well
Here it comes, you might as well
You might as well
If you try, you'll be alright
I'm hanging around with you
We're catching the starlight
Underneath a red moon
Leaving the city tonight
We're finding our freedom
Underneath a red moon
Oh no, no, no, nooo
3.Forever
Inch by inch
I'm infected by your love
Head to toe
I'm chemically changed
Forever
Oh take me back
To your house again, my love
I long to roam
Through your fields again, my love
Forever
I feel like I'm falling
I'm falling for you
Forever
From head to toe
I'm infected by your love
Inch by inch
I'm chemically changed
4.Asleep With The Fireflies
My girl she's asleep now
Fleas leave her jump to the ground
Through a train window
Flickering like a film frame
24 times a second
Me and my girl gonna make it if we try
'Cos I've been hanging around
My head in my hands
And my feet on the ground
It's been too long
Chasing tales
I'm gonna leave the city
I'm gonna set sail
I'm gonna set sail
I'm gonna set sail
I fell asleep with the fireflies
Let the moonlight pass me by
On this long and lifeless road we walk on
Me and my girl gonna make it if we try
Cos I've been hanging around
My head in my hands
And my feet on the ground
It's been too long
Chasing tales
I'm gonna leave the city
I'm gonna set sail
I'm gonna set sail
I'm gonna set sail
Turn out the lights
I see a sign in the sunset, yeah
Ah, look at my life
Could be a loser baby, could be a loser
But with you I forget, now there is
No use flapping around like a headless chicken
Me and my girl gonna make it if we try
Cos I've been hanging around
My head in my hands
And my feet on the ground
It's been too long
Chasing tales
I'm gonna leave the city
I'm gonna set sail
Cos I've been hanging around
My head in my hands
And my feet on the ground
It's been too long
Chasing tales
I'm gonna leave the city
I'm gonna set sail
I'm gonna set sail
I'm gonna set sail
I'm gonna set sail
I'm gonna set sail
I'm gonna set sail
I'm gonna set sail
I'm gonna set sail
I'm gonna set sail...
5.Fishing For A Dream
Let's go fishing for a dream
Let's find some place new
Somewhere we can be ourselves
Some of the time
Lose your heart, I'll lose my mind
We'll make quite a pair, dazzling all the time
Celebrity parties, the red carpet mile
Nothing is too good there for my girl
All of this world, is gonna see you shine
Dododo-dodo-do-do-do
Do-dododo-do-do
Do-dodo-do-dodo-do-do-do-do-doooo
Let's do loneliness in style
Let's put on moonlight mile
And feel those radio waves flow
And don't say you won't
Lose your heart, I'll lose my mind
We'll make quite a pair, dazzling all the time
Celebrity parties, the red carpet mile
Nothing is too good there for my girl
All of this world, is gonna see you shine
Dododo-dodo-do-do-do
Do-dododo-do-do
Do-dodo-do-dodo-do-do-do-do-doooo
Oh lose your heart, and I'll lose my mind
We'll make quite a pair, dazzling all the time
Celebrity parties, the red carpet mile
Nothing is too good there for my girl
All of this world, is gonna see you shine
6.Road To Nowhere
The dad he was 50, the kid was 9 years old
He stood there like a miracle, with the kid's heart in his hold
'I think I might be dying, at least that's what I'm told'
Inside kid is crying, for the dream has just been sold
I'm only 9, I'm already feeling the strain
It seems everyone's dying or curling up in pain
Well it's just a loser's game, dad
It's just a loser's game
Oh come try and catch me, oh catch me if you can
I'll be the first to miss the grip of your hairless, bony hands
Well people run for shopping malls but you're waiting in the sky
Oh which consumer will you crush and which will you let by
I'm only 9, I'm already feeling the strain
It seems everyone's dying or curling up in pain
Well it's just a loser's game, dad
It's just a loser's game
Oh but the sun in the back of this vehicle
Remember the sun, where the beach boys were playing
Run for the sun
Oh dad, ain't it sad
That we're on this road to nowhere
Oh dad, ain't it sad
That we're on this road to nowhere
Oh dad, ain't it sad
That we're on this road to nowhere
Nowhere, I know
I'm only 9, I'm already feeling the strain
It seems everyone's dying or curling up in pain
Well it's just a loser's game, dad
It's just a loser's game
7.Over And Over
Life isn't always easy
This we know my friend
I thought you knew where to go
But you were following me
So let's get lost in space
I feel displaced
I'm stuck in the rat race
It's a lovely day to lose your way
And get stuck in a loop...
Over and over again, you can never make it stop
Over and over again, you can never make it stop
('Cos life isn't always easy)
Over and over again, you can never make it stop
('Cos life isn't always easy)
Over and over again, you can never make it stop
My old bones stroll along
Railway track is oh so long
Stem the tide, the nine to five
Is slowly eating me alive
But all night long, we carry on
We're stumbling slowly to a lovely day to lose your way
And get stuck in a loop...
Over and over again, you can never make it stop
Over and over again, you can never make it stop
('Cos life isn't always easy)
Over and over again, you can never make it stop
('Cos life isn't always easy)
Over and over again, you can never make it
You can never make it
You can never make it
You can never make it stop
8.Last Clown
Last clown, drinking in a bar that's about to be closed down
A hero, I was in people's plans I was shaking their hands
I got lost in the world, slow motion walking and diatribe
talking
As bad as things be, I'm a natural survivor
I was a young man, with the keys to the plans held within my
hands
I knew everything, except the tick tick tock of the hourglass
sands
I got lost in the world, slow motion walking and diatribe
talking
As bad as things be, I'm a natural survivor
Last clown, with your dreams so shallow
You will learn you can never return
Though the grand scheme of things may seem re-arranged
People smile, but they never ever change
So if you see me walking around in the streets of your town
Don't feel for me, I've got more peace of mind than you ever
shall find
I was lost in the world, slow motion walking and diatribe
talking
As bad as things be, I'm a natural survivor
My boy, with your dreams so shallow
You will learn you can never return
Though the grand scheme of things may seem re-arranged
People smile, but they never ever change
Last clown
Last clown
Last clown
9.Above The Clouds
Up above the clouds, it is always a blue sky
Some will try to trick, but you just look them in the eyes
What will they do, when the money runs dry?
Where will they go, when the jet planes can't fly?
When all is said and done I will love you
When all is said and done I'll still love you
Starring out at the stars, you feel helpless and so small
Nothing but closed down bars, no one helps you when you fall
One day this world will be returning to its prime
We'll all be gone, there'll be no more roads to find
When all is said and done I will love you
When all is said and done I'll still love you
The rain came again, cleaning the dream
And it always makes me cry, oh my
Something about the rain, it sends memories through my veins
Memories always stain, you can't wash them down a drain
Where will I go when my broken body dies?
And what will I know when I look up to the skies?
When all is said and done will you love me?
When all is said and done will you love me?
The rain came again, cleaning the dream
And it always makes me cry, oh my
Up above the clouds, it is always a blue sky
10.Building Wraps Round Me
I may be bleeding, but I don't care
See where I'm leading, see I'm almost there
These days lost their meaning, but I don't care
Still we're all breathing, so cry if you dare
With the world before me to break my fall
And this wind behind me warm
Streetlights embrace me, see I close my eyes
The builiding wraps round me
Everyone's sleeping, but I don't care
'Cos I can see reason flowing through the air
And here comes some feeling, that no walls can hold
Clear and relieving us from the cold
With the world before me to break my fall
And this wind behind me warm
Streetlights embrace me, see I close my eyes
They builiding wraps around me
With the world before me to break my fall
And this wind behind me warm
Streetlights embrace me, see I close my eyes
The builiding wraps around me
11.JackInABox
If I stuck my ears to the ground
Down where the bugs are crawling around
Shoot me up to the aeroplanes
Like a jackinabox with springs in my wings
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely
Deep inside the ether's air
I'm taking the lift and you're taking the stairs
Shoot me up to the aeroplanes
Like a jackinabox with springs in my wings
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely
Oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water 'cos I think i'm gonna burn
Oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water 'cos I think i'm gonna burn
Hey Joe I'm tasting all your flavours
Ain't no piece of cake
But life ain't dishing nothing I can't take
If I stuck my ears to the ground
Down where the bugs are crawling around
Shoot me up to the aeroplanes
Like a jackinabox with springs in my wings
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely
Deep inside the ether's air
I'm taking the lift and you're taking the stairs
Shoot me up to the aeroplanes
Like a jackinabox with springs in my wings
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely
Oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water 'cos I think i'm gonna burn
Oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water 'cos I think i'm gonna burn
Hey Joe I'm tasting all your flavours
Ain't no piece of cake
But life ain't dishing nothing I can't take
Oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water 'cos I think I'm gonna burn
Oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water 'cos I think I'm gonna burn
Hey Joe I'm tasting all your flavours
Ain't no piece of cake
But life ain't dishing nothing I can't take
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely
12.Come And Go
My open heart is all a flutter
Memories as sweet as butter
Running down the blade of a double-edged sword
I recall a kiss, a photograph
A near miss, I can't recall the faces of them all
'Cos you come and you go
'Cos you come and you go
'Cos you come and you go
Opened up my heart
You opened up my heart
And let some sunshine down the avenue
I'm going to take my time today
I'm going to take what's mine today, yeah
'Cos you come and you go
'Cos you come and you go
'Cos you come and you go
I'm going to take my time today
I'm going to take what's mine today, yeah
'Cos you come and you go
'Cos you come and you go
'Cos you come and you go
