Lyrics
Hello, good evening, welcome
To the show that never ends
And the harsh words that are spoken
Oh well, you will soon forget
Gather round for a moment
Won’t you lend me all your ears
I’ll make you smile I’ll make you cry
I’ll wipe away your tears
And you know now, how these things work out
That when you laugh out loud you cry inside
And the truth is no-one sees you
You just want to know that you’re alive
The invites have been sent out
I made sure to ask your friends
And if they have a good night
I suppose it all depends
On frame of mind, and place and time
On truth and nothing more
Pulling flowers from magic hats
To the sound of loud applause
And you know now, how these things work out
That when you laugh out loud you cry inside
And the truth is no-one sees you
You just want to know that you’re alive
And you’ve seen it all before
Now’s not the time for a confession
And the possessions of the poor
You try to call them blessings
When the curtain does come down
And the greatest show has ended
You’ll know it was a lie
And all you did was you pretended
Standing on the high wire
Trying hard not to be brave
The clowns are drunk on whiskey
The bearded lady’s had a shave
The excitement of the spotlight
Fades in the cold, harsh light of day
When the big top as been taken down
Your dreams are all betrayed
And you know now, how these things work out
That when you laugh out loud you cry inside
And the truth is no-one sees you
You just want to know that you’re alive

One Eyed In Paradise

One Eyed In Paradise
If thine eye offends me
Then pluck it out
In the world we live in
We all fall down
In the country of the blind
The one eyed man is king
Lions led by donkeys
We live like we're asleep
One eyed in paradise
Is it warm enough
Would you like more ice?
I forgot I need to ask you twice
You like it here, you like it here
You like it here, you like it here
This paradise is what we've made it
Perfect once but now degraded
Learnt the truth learnt to betray it
The once clear vision dull and faded
Ask the builder, call the craftsman
Build our happy ever after
Bring us joy and bring us laughter
You like it here? Amen, You like it here? Amen
One eyed in paradise
Is it warm enough
Would you like more ice?
I forgot I need to ask you twice
You like it here, you like it here
You like it here, you like it here
If your ears betray you
Because you've heard too much
Let your mouth not speak the knowledge
Nor your hands reach out to touch
If your feet should keep on walking
Past the pain you can't endure
You'd like to think you're bothered
But you're never really sure
One eyed in paradise
Is it warm enough
Would you like more ice?
I forgot I need to ask you twice
You like it here, you like it here
You like it here, you like it here

No use waiting for tomorrow
When today it never ends
And our parting's greatest sorrow
Is that then we'll still be friends
Hold me tight and let it go
Your biggest fears are those you know
If they can't see it doesn't show
As above then so below
And all your fine words ring so hollow
With every letter that you send
And I'm not sure that I follow
You told me it all depends
I ask you quietly
And you just smile
My eyes are shut tightly
I dream once in a while
I dream once in a while
My replies just ring so empty
You see it's all just a game
Wise words if I ever speak them
Only seem to fan the flames
Hold me tight and let it go
Your biggest fears are those you know
If they can't see it doesn't show
As above then so below

Complicated
Lost my way found it again
Meet you there at half past ten
Enemy need a friend
Trusting me it all depends
The light it shines into the dark
Simple, simple shine like stars
Tell a joke and I might laugh
Falling down is who we are
Turning inside twisted round
Forever lost and sometimes found
Right side up and upside down
Shallow sorrows never drown
Yes I know it's complicated
I'm in my bed I helped to make it
Fools rush in while I just waited
I can't find love if I just hate it x2
Sadness, sadness please be kind
I'm talking to you all the time
Seek to find but you just hide
Behind your hands inside your mind
It's scaring me to even start
To write the end the hardest part
Another tear a bleeding heart
All you had to do was ask
Darling, darling pucker up
You're in demand but out of luck
Drink it down pass me the cup
You know that more is never enough
Yes I know it's complicated
I'm in my bed I helped to make it
Fools rush in while I just waited
I can't find love if I just hate it x2

Love Wins
How should I know you?
By the bruises on my neck
But I still love you
Cos it's all that we have left
I've hidden my black eyes
Still feel those Chinese burns
One more of your Glasgow kisses
I don't even feel it hurt
Oh, you hate me and you throw your stones
Hit me with sticks
And break my bones
It's the only thing I've ever known
But love wins, love wins (x2)
There's a tale they used to tell
As young men marched to glory
Speak to them on their return
They'll tell a different story
It would cause much less fuss
If we could make them more like us
Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori
Oh, pin a ribbon on his chest
Close the casket ,lay him to rest
And just in case you forget
Love wins, love wins (x2)
I guess I just don't recognise
How you have made me civilized
Bloody sun in bloody skies
Pro patria mori
It should come as no surprise
It all unfolds before your eyes
The earth first screams
And then it dies
You never saw the warning
So go ahead and make your plans
The results are never in your hands
A game that you don't understand
Love wins, love wins (x2)
By the left, 2, 3, 4
Hut, 2,3,4
Present arms 2,3,4
Fire 2,3,4

The Trains Run On Time
04:18

Outside the trains run on time
The smoke and the shadows
Reflections in windows
The circus and side shows of our lives
Forgetting the pay offs
The compromise and the trade offs
Living through all the dead loss
The calculation and chaos, never stops
And I doubt we'll speak again
And I doubt you even care
I can't turn the other cheek
If you're not even there
From the windows and our doorways
You can always see the sky
And from the seat of my worn trousers
I'm learning how to fly
And if you're going to ask me questions
I'm going to have to lie
And if you're telling me I am to blame
Then you might just be right
The streets that deceive us
Houses keeping our secrets
Do they think they can see us
And if they believe us, why the fuss?
For heaven's sake I'm just hell bent
I'm torn and I'm tempted
Wish sometimes you meant it
All the goodwill I spent it, long ago
And I doubt we'll speak again
And I doubt you even care
I can't turn the other cheek
If you're not even there
Outside the trains run on time
