Chameleon 05:21
lyrics
buy track
Today my eyes have truly been opened Tomorrow it'll happen again They say sticks and stones can break your bones But words they can lead you to heartache I said don't you mind, it's just a matter of time Before karma comes back round to find you I've been compared Nothing's been spared But I'm still here Lend me your ears . . . Chameleon Let go and learn to live Don't change your colours To fit in Chameleon Be who you want to be Stand up and show them You are free Once I was so quiet and fragile But now I look that demon in the face And watched it run for miles They say you know who your true friends are The ones who will always stand by your side I said don't you judge a book by its cover Just dig a little deeper, there's much more to discover I've been compared Nothing's been spared But I'm still here Lend me your ears . . . Chameleon Let go and learn to live Don't change your colours To fit in Chameleon Be who you want to be Stand up and show them You are free So please be strong and follow your dreams You don't have to explain it to me I've learned to love myself, it's true Enjoy who you are Be who you want, see who you want to Chameleon Let go and learn to live Don't change your colours .. To fit in Chameleon Be who you want to be Stand up and show them Show them you're free Chameleon Chameleon Chameleon Chameleon

After All 04:41
lyrics

Please trip them gently, they don't like to fall, oh by jingo There's no room for anger, we're all very small, oh by jingo We're painting our faces and dressing in thoughts from the skies, from paradise But they think that we're holding a secretive ball Won't someone invite them They're just taller children (ooh) that's all, after all Man is an obstacle, sad as the clown, oh by jingo So hold on to nothing, and he won't let you down, oh by jingo Some people are marching together and some on their own Quite alone Others are running, the smaller ones crawl But some sit in silence, they're just older children That's all, after all I sing with impertinence, shading impermanent chords With my words I've borrowed your time and I'm sorry I called But the thought just occurred that we're nobody's children at all, after all Live your rebirth and do what you will, oh by jingo Forget all I've said, please bear me no ill, oh by jingo After all, after all

I wasn't expecting that 03:27
lyrics
buy track
It was only a smile but my heart it went wild I wasn't expecting that Just a delicate kiss, anyone could've missed I wasn't expecting that Did I misread the sign? Your hand slipped into mine I wasn't expecting that You spent the night in my bed, You woke up and you said "Well, I wasn't expecting that" I thought love wasn't meant to last, I thought you were just passing through If I ever get the nerve to ask What did I get right to deserve somebody like you? I wasn't expecting that It was only a word, it was almost mis-heard I wasn't expecting that But it came without fear, A month turned into a year I wasn't expecting that I thought love wasn't meant to last, Honey, I thought you were just passing through If I ever get the nerve to ask What did I get right to deserve somebody like you? I wasn't expecting that Isn't it strange how a life can be changed In the flicker of the sweetest smile We were married in spring You know I wouldn't change a thing Without that innocent kiss, what a life I'd have missed If you'd not took a chance on a little romance When I wasn't expecting that Time doesn't take long, three kids up and gone I wasn't expecting that When the nurses they came, said it's come back again I wasn't expecting that Then you closed your eyes, you took my heart by surprise I wasn't expecting that

Safe Travels (Don't Die) 03:40
lyrics
buy track
Please eat your greens and don’t sit close to screens, your eyes are a means to an end. And I would be sorry if, due to your hurry, you were hit by a lorry my friend. Like you always say, Safe travels, don’t die, don’t die, safe travels, don’t die. Don’t walk on ice, no matter how nice, how sturdy, enticing it seems. Please cross at the lights and don’t start fires or fights and don’t dabble in heights on caffeine. Like you always say Safe travels, don’t die, don’t die, safe travels, don’t die. Don’t swallow bleach out on Sandymount beach, I’m not sure I’d reach you in time my boy. Please don’t bungee jump or ignore a strange lump and a gasoline pump’s not a toy. Like you always say Safe travels, don’t die, don’t die, safe travels, don’t die.

Wide Eyed and Legless 04:31
lyrics
buy track
Wherever I go and whatever I do I seem to spend some of my time Trying to turn the black night, blue Well I'm tired of it all It's the same thing every night But the rhythm of the glass Is stronger than the rhythm of night Wide eyed and legless I've gone and done it again Wide eyed and legless This world is full of my shame Shame, I can't get free from these chains Oh, oh-oh (Instrumental) Wide eyed and legless I've gone and done it again Wide eyed and legless This world is full of my shame Shame, I can't get free from these chains Oh, oh-oh I've been here before But this time it feels like the end I should've known better, I know But my memory's no friend Well, I've tried every thing That I know will get rid of this fling And I can't understand Why I'm wide eyed and legless again Wide eyed and legless I've gone and done it again Wide eyed and legless This world is full of my shame Shame, I can't get free from these chains
