The Struggle
03:28

You bash your head against that wall
Over and over
You think it’s never gonna fall
I hope you know
That it won’t be that final blow
That brings it crashing down
It’ll be the ones that came before
Even though the road it might be long
It’s those little steps that will take you there
The struggle will make you strong
You will stumble you will fall
But you gotta keep moving
If you can’t walk you need to crawl
I hope you know
That all this pain it helps you grow
Take one step at a time
Pick yourself up
Even though the road it might be long
It’s those little steps that will take you there
So take a little step
And don’t be scared, don’t be scared
Even though the road it might be long
The struggle will make you strong

Only Lonely
03:14

I’m married to loneliness
Living with emptiness
Growing old with heartache
Talk to my friends and this is what they say
It’s only being lonely
It’s only being lonely
All alone on a Saturday night
On the couch with a red wine
All my friends they keep on calling me
They tell me it’s only, it’s only, it’s only
It’s only being lonely
It’s only being lonely
But I, I’m so lonely
I’m so lonely
I’m so lonely
They dragged me out to this crowded bar
Thought I saw your face from a far
I’m better off now I’m on my own
But I feel so alone
Every time I go out
I’m looking for someone
I’m looking for the one
My one and only

Trick of the Light
04:14

It’s seven on a Sunday and I’m doing the walk of shame
I’m still wearing the clothes that I had on yesterday
And its rained not all that long ago, there’s a fresh smell in the air
I’m walking down Brunswick St. and for once there’s no one there
Yeah I know it might be early and I might be jumping the gun
If I went ahead and said that you might be one of those ones
But it seems so much has changed and its happened over night
Everything looks different in the early morning light
And there’s a kind of shine on everything
Is it a trick of the light or a different way of seeing?
Is it just that I’m weak kneed?
Did you change something inside me?
Inside of me
Well I’m feeling pretty weary but I also feel brand new
I’ve only just left your place and I think I’m missing you
Yeah well maybe I fall too fast but it’s better than being slow
I’ve heard that when it’s right it’s right and when it’s right you’ll know
Cause there’s kind of shine on everything
Is it a trick of the light or a different way of seeing?
Is it just that I’m weak kneed?
Did you change something inside me?
Inside of me

Home by Nine
03:50

I get home by nine
The house is all cold all the lights turned out
It’s the second night this week
That you’re not home what the hell’s going on
Left a note by the door
It said ‘Don’t wait up babe I’ll be out with the boys’
Guess you’d better learn to clean up
Cause Betty’s bra’s on the floor
Oooh you think you’re so smart you got it all worked out
Oooh Guess you didn’t realise she’s on my roster sheet
Oooh boy oh boy oh boy does she like to speak
You think you got her, think you got me, think your life’s in perfect harmony
It’s a little too late to pray
You’ve made your bed and now you better lie in it boy
Flowers won’t save the day
You might see me smile
But underneath I’m planning your demise
You can find your stuff on the street
And don’t even try to put your key in the door
Oooh… think you’re so smart you got it all worked out
Oooh… no one ever thinks that life can change like that
Oooh… boy oh boy I never thought you’d be that guy
You think I need you, I don’t need you, you don’t even know what you’re about to lose
It’s a little too late to pray
You’ve made your bed and now you better lie in it boy
Flowers won’t save the day
Don’t even bother with Tiffany and Co.
I’m gonna make it hard for you
Your gonna wish that we are through
It’s a little too late
Just a little too, just a little too
Late, late
Late, late
Late, late
Just a little too

Take a Look
03:41

Livin’ in a glass house
You better throw no stones
You keep looking over my back fence
But your closet’s full of bones
Don’t you call my kettle black
Yours is dirty just the same
You keep on pointing the finger
It’s time to lower your aim
Take a look at yourself
Before you criticise someone else
Take a look at yourself
Look at yourself
Don’t be so high and mighty
Your a long way from the ground
You will never find happiness
Putting other people down
Take a look at yourself
Before you criticise someone else
Take a look at yourself
Can’t you see, 1, 2, 3, hey
(Stop a looking at me)
Take a look at yourself
Look at yourself
I know that I’m not perfect
But you nothing about me
Can you see that if you judge people
You will never, ever, ever, be free
Take a look, Take a look, Take a look at yourself

Rain
03:58
|

|
I don’t know but I’ve been told
That hot is hot because of cold
And up is up because of down
And flood is flood because of drought
I am just like the earth
That’s dry so long the rain won’t work
The water will run right off my back
I hope that some will soak up through the cracks
When it rains it pours
You never really know what your in for
People they like to complain
When the sun is out they wish for rain
And when it rains they wish for sun
No matter what we got we want the other one
When it rains it pours
You never really know what your in for
It’s really coming, really coming down now
I don’t know but it’s what they say
When the sun’s out you should make hay
You should make the most of what you got
It doesn’t matter if it’s little or a lot

The Thrill
03:32
|
|||
|
About the time my time was up
And my funds were running low
I got an itching in my feet
And I knew it was time to go
I’ve been around all over the place
For the most I had a good time
I saw a many amazing things
But every place would lose its shine
Gotta keep moving
Gotta keep rambling on
I know this is the time of my life
But the thrill is already, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
At the start I couldn’t get enough
I was fresh and I was keen
After a while it wears you down
Enthusiasm can’t be redeemed
All I owned was on my back
I would choose smokes over buying food
I saw some sights, had some crazy nights
But it did nothing to lift my mood
Then you went and turned to me
You said I thought you hate it when things change
I guess I do when it’s not my choice
But for too long things have stayed the same
I am free, I got no ties
I can go where I please
All I want is to stop moving
But I know it is time to leave

Last Man
03:11
|
|||
|
The hour’s getting very late
Everybody’s dropping like flies
Looks like there’s no one left
All my friends have dropped by the wayside
Flashing lights and smoke in the air
I’m done for if I don’t keep moving
The options are running low
I’ve got to keep moving, got to keep moving
I might be the only woman
You might be the only man
But one and one it don’t make two
When it comes to me and you
You keep getting closer and closer
Looks like it's just you and I
You try to take me by the hand
But I know what’s behind those smiling eyes
I wouldn’t kiss you
If you were the last man, last man, last man
On the dance floor
I can see straight through that smile
You’re not a giver ooh you’re a taker
I know you and I know your type
You ain’t nothing but a heart breaker
I know exactly what you’re thinking
You think that one and one make two
That equation don’t add up when it comes to me and you
I might be the last woman on the dance floor
You might be the last man
But one and one it don’t make two when it comes to me and you

Make It Right
03:42
|
|||
|
You’ve really got me wondering
How could it get to this?
We were so good together
But you stole my breath out of my lungs with your greedy kiss
Now I’ve been planting flowers
While you’ve been planting weeds
And though I’ve given you my all
You keep hurting me
You better make it right
You’ve been making it wrong for too long
Now my insides are boiling
You are set to destruct
We are running out of time
You better make it up
Let’s make it right
Let’s make it right
Let’s make it right
Right now
(I’m not the one) I’m not the one who will regret this when it’s done
I’m not someone who you can mess with just fun

So take a little step
And don’t be scared, don’t be scared
Even though the road it might be long
The struggle will make you strong
