I settle for enough It's a drag reading all of this stuff In a world that's given up look out before you cover up When I lost my way on a permanent haze I still celebrated your birthdays I needed a lift just to get off the ground but I know that this aint a radio sound Around and around goes the radio sound I settle for ideas that I've been dragging around for years I pull out all of the stops but don't wait for the pressure to drop When I lost my way on a permanent haze I still celebrated your birthdays I needed a lift just to get off the ground but I know that this aint a radio sound Around and around goes the radio sound If you say you don't bite they won't believe there's every chance you might and if you say you're out of fight they'll say there's more to life than this there's got to be more to life I settle down instead I'm too tired to entertain my friends I only needed a shove because promises are never enough When I lost my way on a permanent haze I still celebrated your birthdays I needed a lift just to get off the ground but I know that this aint a radio sound Around and around goes the radio sound

I've been told that holding out for luck is a foolish game Fools rush in where angels sing and nobody ever takes the blame Well I try, I try, I try but still you leave me far behind I can't wait until the day I call you mine I've been told two broken hearts will beat in stereo No one else can take your place, my heart won't let you go Well I try, I try, I try but still get taken for a ride I can't wait until the day I call you mine I've been told that fantasising kills you in the end Memories still suffocate, I know you're never coming back again Well I try, I try, I've tried but only you can put this right I can't wait until the day I call you mine

Daydreaming 02:33
You told me what's been on your mind and then you told me what the tears on your pillow are trying to hide While you were daydreaming I know, I know While you were daydreaming I was dreaming it too You told me that you miss those times and then you told me it's too little too late for any wedding bell chimes We're only daydreaming I know, I know While you were daydreaming I was dreaming it too You told me this is how to survive and then you told me you'll feel better in the morning just get on with your life It's only daydreaming I know, I know While you were daydreaming I was dreaming it too

Oh,oh I should have been the one to make you I should have been the one to take you all the world around Oh,oh I should have been the one you're updating I shouldn't be the one who's left waiting out of mind and out of sight Even though we can't decide we twist the knife around inside Once you were a mystery but now your kisses are history and if all this was meant to be then so much for love Oh,oh I should have been the one to save you I should have been the one who gave you all the love around Oh,oh I should have been the one to spell you I should have been the one to tell you that everything is gonna be alright Even though we can't decide we twist the knife around inside Once you were a mystery but now your kisses are history and if all this was meant to be then so much for love

Ever since we talked about the stars that burn into the night I have tried in vain to separate the darkness from the light & I know you find it hard because your friends don't have a clue they ask why your brown eyes look so blue Everything you said runs through my head both in sequence and in time & the secrets that you tell me are forever yours and mine but when aeroplanes and love letters are complicated too tell me why your brown eyes look so blue Every time your voice it hesitates I wonder if you might we recall the words I wrote to you by television light till the universe is satisfied it's hard to make it through & that is why your brown eyes look so blue

She wanted more than just anyone She needed more than just anyone Stop breaking it all apart just for love Stop taking it out on yourself This is about a girl who loves the sun She wasn't young like she was before She needed time but there isn't more Stop breaking it all apart just for love Stop taking it out on yourself This is about a girl who loves the sun She wanted starlight and golden hair She chased the moonlight and ocean air Stop breaking it all apart just for love Stop taking it out on yourself This is about a girl who loves the sun

Number Seven 02:49
I try so hard but I can't see where I keep going wrong now after all this time it seems we're stuck where we belong If I sit down they all stand up If I say Hi they all shut up But I'll get by, bye-bye You don't believe me I've bought a ticket, I've made a plan. It's just too adventurous cause everyone can see but me that hope is dangerous If I sit down they all stand up If I say Hi they all shut up But I'll get by, bye-bye You don't believe me You've shut me out, I've lost control. I spend so much time alone When I was young, when I was old, and now every story told If I sit down they all stand up If I say Hi they all shut up But I'll get by, bye-bye You don't believe me Oh no

A sullen girl once said to me that the good things in life aint for free don't give up so soon, your chance will come there's somebody out there for everyone Good girls don't break hearts I stop you in your tracks and then I cross my heart all over again cos you've got the kind of smile that makes the day so long it keeps the night awake Good girls don't break hearts Don't waste your time preparing lies, if you run away or apologise it's all the same, you get what you deserve I stepped back before I lost my nerve Good girls don't break hearts I still remember the time Good girls don't break hearts

Empty Pages 03:21
You choose the song & I'll learn the words to the chorus and the verse On Halloween I couldn't hide Don't stir it up, don't turn it upside down I can't compete with Camden Town We keep it bottled up like wine Empty pages seem to say the words my tears would wash away because I still love you and I'm gonna write my name in stars if we can go back to the start the past is always young at heart Empty pages, stories torn apart I walk the line between love and pain, I spill my guts out down the drain It's real life I can't provide Two broken hands, I couldn't write it down Feet frozen to the ground Ocean and time the great divide Empty pages seem to say the words my tears would wash away because I still love you and I'm gonna write my name in stars if we can go back to the start the past is always young at heart Empty pages, stories torn apart We broke it down, left some things out The things we never talked about but I know now Did something happen in between the time it takes for you and me? For what it's worth & for what I know now that I'm gonna write my name in stars if we can go back to the start the past is always young at heart Empty pages, stories torn apart

I know that it's cold outside but it's cold inside too and I know that you talk, talk, talk but I forget who you're talking to and I know you heard a rumour that you'll be spreading soon It's what you do what you always do Your vanity is not a crime but I think I've had enough this time I try to keep an open mind but I think I've had enough this time I know that it's dark in here but it's dark outside too and I know that you've missed your train but I've missed my train too and I know you still have the dream and there's nothing I can do I can do nothing I can do Your vanity is not a crime but I think I've had enough this time I try to keep an open mind but I think I've had enough this time Time spent without you, it aint no time at all Time spent without you, it aint no time no time at all it means nothing at all Your vanity is not a crime but I think I've had enough this time I try to keep an open mind but I think I've had enough this time

I get suspicious when I see you've done the dishes I get nervous, I get restless too I don't know where I slept last night, but I can find out if you like, in maybe just an hour maybe two You could have given up yourself than let me hear it from someone else I keep on reaching your telephone lies I'm seeing clearer as I step back from the mirror If I'm in trouble, you're in trouble too I comb my hair as I walk downstairs, avoid international affairs A holiday's a change, something to do I call you up, your voice and mine, this shouldn't happen for a second time I keep on reaching your telephone lies She said you've gotta wait She said you've gotta wait She said you've gotta wait She said you've gotta wait I stop competing and turn down the central heating I kick the covers off and think it through The night we were so unprepared when I held your hand in Soho Square I wonder if you think about it too I caught you up, your mistake not mine I shouldn't laugh but why should I cry? I keep on reaching your telephone lies I'm always reaching your telephone lies

Something happened to the Pop music on the radio, let's put up a fight before we hop on a flight to Tokyo I thought I was the only one to feel this way until I saw her at the Record Swap. Second hand & hand-me-downs, with a can of cherry pop, I'd never seen her face around I thought I was the only one to feel this way until I fell in love with a girl wearing silver shoes. I'm still dreaming at the coffee shop that we're on Sunset Boulevard. Around & around, around the clock, black or white with our regards I thought I was the only one to feel this way until I saw them holding hands on top of the Number 29, I didn't hear the penny drop, she said "this aint your stop, it's mine" I'll always be the only one to feel this way but still I fell in love with a girl wearing silver shoes. I fell in love with a girl wearing silver shoes because in a world without love it's hard to stay young
