Up On The Downside This England made me Between the war and a rockets flying You found the crib it saves me And teach me wrong and right
Then the world was talking But never got its chance to say When there's too much talking Nobody hears a word you say
And you won't see And baby now I won’t hear These blind communications Only last throughout the year And half of what we're saying Is halfway near the truth And blind communications For a million hearts and fools
I am a witness To a land of a million fools All placing bets on life And hate the ones who lose And all who’re lonely And never get the chance to say That their one and only Would be the chance to even play
Hello Monday The weekend’s just a blur I've been burning bridges And now I'm begging at your door So I’ll keep on working 'Cos it's a chance for me to pay But too much talking When you believed the words I say
In My Field I'm in my field I'm in my stream And I'm love I'm in my tree
I take a walk Nine hundred miles I cross the stile I'm in my field
And I'm in love And it's for free I'm in my field I'm in my field
I'm in my field I'm in my stream And I will yield I'm in my field
And I'm in love Across the stile Come in my field Just you and me
We'll take a walk Nine hundred miles And I'm in love We'll count the stiles
I'm in my field I'm in my stream Well I'm in love Just you and me
I'm in my field I'm in my stream Well I'm in love I'm in my tree
I take a walk Nine hundred miles I cross the stile I'm in my field
Sail On My Boat I'm gonna sail on my boat and keep it afloat forever Nobody's gonna tell me how it won't stay together I got a waiting ticket won't you sail it Nobody who's staying asleep knows what I'm saying
I'm gonna throw out a rope and keep it afloat, it's granted & call her Cressy Freedom, Independence or Tansy I'm gonna wake and take us all to where oh Nobody's gonna talk me down by stormy weather
Got to sail my boat Got to keep afloat I get the need to keep on when I'm sailing
I'll stay the course, I'll make it a choice, I'll plan it Nobody ever thought you would & they take you for granted I'll tie down the ropes that keep me afloat and sailing Nobody ever taught me, teach me while I'm playing?
I’m gonna lift up my voice and sing you a song romantic And call it Cressy Freedom, Independence or Tansy
Hold on in love take it to where you never Nobody's gonna tell me how it won't stay together I've got a freedom ticket lets go sailing Nobody who's staying asleep knows what I'm saying
Biggest Thing Up through all the streets you go But little girl don't find her name And we’re all gone down roads to homes Where everybody finds their game
Just behind the street she goes Where she'll be found behind her wheel 'cos it's the only place she knows That makes her know just how she feels
'Cos you're biggest thing That I see You’ve got me where you want me You hunt me down, you haunt me And beg me to believe
All too fast to where she goes But who'll be first to find her a name And holding on in Hollywood But holding on don't make the grade
Just about when it's all right there’s you and I: we’ll find our way But its holidays not Hollywood And holidays don't suit my game
Hollow days and hollow nights But everyone they find their way It highlights you when things ain’t right And makes you want find your place
We Made It More By the way you went you take it all And make another sender By the way it often takes you by surprise You know the mender And Oh you play it strange
And anyway We all got a little bit of something All got more than we bargained for Got a need for something But you and I we made it more
I ain't gonna make another play today I know, I'm waiting on a sender I ain't gonna take my weight until you wait I know, I need another mender But it's to you I'm making a surrender
And you make another tale You want to weigh another breakdown Picking up and heading north It's all that seems just so relentless And oh you play it strange
But you and I we made it more
We all got a little bit of something We all got more than we bargained for
Give Me A Letter Give me a letter The sooner the better I'm out of here
Give me a card I'm not waiting hard To hear you
All I'm trying to do Is all you want to say
Give me a letter The sooner the better I'm away from you
Trying so hard I'm not taking a car And I'll lose you
All I want to do Is all I'm trying to say
What I'm trying to say Is what I'm trying to do
What I'm trying to say What I'm trying to do Is keeping up with you
Mechanical Wonder The mechanical wonder is It's just a noise in my room And I'm chasing the wonder and It's just a hole in my tune
And the radio plays but it But it don't sing a song And the mechanical thunder is What is all going wrong
And I walk down the road and I I awake in a tune But the mechanical thunder is It's just a noise in my room
And we rode it once On a thundering night So I'll walk with you Where the locks take flight
Oh machines make our lives today And I like them the best But the mechanical thunder is It's just a noise in my head
And the radio plays at me But it don't sing a song But the mechanical wonder is How it's all going wrong
And they rode it once On a thundering night So I'll walk with you Where the locks take flight And we'll keep on through It's where the road don't roar Where the farm once stood Where the union crawls, big time
They're machines that I'm walking from Though they play in the songs And the dreams that you're holding on Don't hold for so long
So I'm hiding machines away But I'll keep them for you But the things that you wanna say Is just a noise in my room
And I look at the picture now And there's a weight on us all But the mechanical wonder is It's a cure one and all
You Are Amazing You are amazing It's the truth And it's often fading Without you
I don't feel the wind blow I don't feel the hard rock I don't feel it when it breaks your heart I don't feel it all get To far from the start
You are a lady It's the truth And it's often shady Behind you
I don't feel the hollow I don't feel it all broke I don't need it when you make your mark I don't live in malice I need a morning heart
Standing here and hollow It's the only thing broke The it shakes you and it makes you start Like a singing widow which won't mend your heart
You are amazing It's the truth
If I Gave You My Heart If I gave you my heart Where would you be Would it mean nothing If not for me
If I gave you my eyes What would they see Would they see nothing If not for me
But I gave you my hand and my sign and my soul on the earth And I gave up on truth when I heard about the worst I lived out of love when I gave it away And I sold off my soul when there's no one to pay
If I gave you my hand What would it write Would it say nothing Or say it's alright
If I gave you my arms Would they hold you tight First light of morning Or bid you goodnight
And I gave you my strength and my worth and I gave you my gift And I moved on the first and I left us to drift And I reap from the soil and I build hopes from wood It's a new better life and we have two and should
And I gave you my dream of the world and we stood on the quay And we sang to the wind in the whole darkening sea And I feel my weight and I guard my soul And I found my beliefs when I found my control I gave you my hand and my soul on the earth And I gave up on the truth when I heard about the worst So I lived out of love when I gave it away And I sold off my soul when there's no one to pay
Can't Get Back To The Baseline I want more than me and you The more I want the more it scares me I will put my faith in you Won’t you be my missionary I can’t ... can’t get back to the baseline
Had too much of waiting up Had too much of things I tell you It’s the only way and it’s love Fill my cup oh I’ve said too much I can’t... can’t get back to the baseline
I’ve been on freight train buzz So I’m trying to tell you the only thing I need is your love But I can’t... I can’t back to the baseline
It’s the way of feeling good It is all that’s necessary I guess that it’s from above I’m no fool but I guess too much I can’t... can’t get back to the baseline
Fare you well and I will choose When I’ve found it I will tell you I belong to the same as you Won’t you be my missionary I can’t... can’t get back to the baseline
Something For Me You were arriving Of this I'm sure You were just hiding all around your door
That would be telling And it's not for free You're all the rage when you're out with me
Gotta do something Something for free Gotta do something for me It ain't complaining Ah just you see Gotta do something for me
You won't be foolish Of this I'm sure But I'm feeling used when I'm round your door
That ain't complaining Ah just you see You're like the same when it's not for me
