Sportscar...
The lyrics for the tracks on the album are listed below.
Sports Car 5:45
There you are shining in leather and varnish
You think you're a winner in the private stock
Your jewellery framed on white table cloth
Your boots match your hair your eyes match your socks
I bet you tell stories of wine loosened ladies
And friends of a friend that you used to know
Of course there've been losers but you're nothing shady
And under your polish the engines don't go
You drive in the main road
Not knowing you've gone too far
You carry no backload
And I bet you've got a Sports Car
Defending your lifestyle does nothing to sway me
Your arrogance bores me I know it's not true
So don't waste your time on me I'm just not there
And then I won't waste my time on you.
I bet you tell stories of wine loosened ladies
And friends of a friend that you used to know
Of course there've been losers but you're nothing shady
And under your polish the engines don't go
You drive in the main road
Not knowing you've gone too far
You carry no backload
And I bet you've got a Sports Car
I bet you've got a Sports Car
I hear the words
I see the face
You've got the car
But lost the race
I bet you've got a Sports Car
Nightline 3:41
Light shining in my room tonight
Haven't seen such a good time
Waiting for the night to turn into light
Turning into light
Still fighting to hold that frozen smile
It's so good to be lonely
While I feel the moon hold me awhile
Please hold me for a while
Nightline
Haven't seen such a good time
Nightline
Yes I'm happy I'm just fine
Nightline
Haven't seen such a good time burning
Burning
Oh, I'm waiting at the door
You can come in
you can come right in
Oh, I'm waiting at the door
You can come in
you can come right in and stay
Lead windows open to the dawn
Thoughts like phantoms hover
Held inside the faces I have worn
Still fighting to hold that frozen smile
It's no good to be lonely
I want to feel you here to hold me awhile
Hold me for a while.
Nightline
Haven't seen such a good time
Nightline
Yes I'm happy I'm just fine
Nightline
Wish you'd call just once more
I'm burning burning
Oh, I'm waiting at the door
You can come in
You can come right in
Oh, I'm waiting at the door
You can come in
You can come right in and stay.
Chinatown 4:43
Here come the boys from Chinatown
They don't want no trouble they're just hanging around
Looking for some action, some physical attraction
They can see
The door is always open wide
Take one step you're laughing, take two and you die
All the lights are flashing the gambling men are
Crashing to the floor
Soho Soho Don't go
Backstreet ladies shift and smile
And try their luck in the golden mile
To the sound of the guns and the fivepenny runs
They are free
Here come the boys from Chinatown
They don't want no trouble they're just hanging around
Looking for some action, some physical attraction
They can see
Soho Soho Don't go
Here come the boys from Chinatown
They don't want no trouble
Understanding 3:51
Understanding all the reasons that you have
For keeping just a step away
You'd better start believing that deceit
It's never gonna pay
Understanding that the light of everyday
Hold a different feeling
You'd better start believing
That there'll be no more grieving about it next time round
This time, you seem so sure
You're talking like I've never heard before
This time
I want to believe in what you say
This time
I want you to know that if I stay
I'm understanding all the reasons that you have
For keeping just a step away
But believe me when I tell you that from now
There has to be another way
Understanding that the light of everyday
Hold a different feeling
You'd better start believing that there'll be no
More grieving about it next time round
This time, so sure
You're talking like you never did before
This time
I want to believe in what you say
This time
I want you to know that if I stay
Do you listen when I tell you that I'm tired
Of keeping one more step away
Now the game that we've been playing has
Been changed and it's by my rules that we play
Not the child that followed blindly in the dark
Watching and believing
I'm much stronger now and I won't be torn apart
Or fooled by shallow pleading
This time
You might say that we all need secrets
But I say that you're running away
You could say that I won't wait forever
But I'm giving you one more day
This Time
Talking like you ever did before
This time
I want to believe in what you say
This time
I want you to know that if I stay
I’m Understanding
The Choices You've Made 4:11
When will I see you again
Is there a chance that I might find you on my
Way back down the road
When will I see you again
I'm looking high and low but nobody seems to know
Oh which way were you heading when you took
My heart away?
Where were you going when you took my heart away
Sometimes if I look too hard
I find your answers hiding but I feel the truth
Is in your eyes
Patterns on the window pane
Show me the way your going clearer than your words
Which way were you heading when you took my heart away
Where were you going when you took my heart away
Oh the choices you've made
I try hard but I can't understand it
And the windows are covered in rain
And the doorway is just as I found it
Oh the choices you've made
Yesterday I had thoughts of conclusion
And tomorrow I may feel just the same
While you're padding your world with illusion.
Captured in the hourglass
My time is slowly passing till I feel you touch me I will sleep
Then I'll open up again
And try to hold you softly as you sell your dreams
Which way were you heading when you took my heart away
Where were you going when you took my heart away
Oh the choices you've made
I try hard but I can't understand it
And the windows are covered in rain
And the doorway is just as I found it
Oh the choices you've made
Yesterday I had thoughts of conclusion
And tomorrow I may feel just the same
While you're padding your world with illusion
When will I see you again
Is there a chance for me
The Rise Of Heart 4:53
Remember when you first knew my name
To me you were a memory
I laughed at everything you said but you'd still come running
And from the start
The rise of heart
I was just another spectator
A different time a different place
Now you're a mystery
You've got something I need, don't you believe that?
Right from the start
The rise of heart
I just have to be a spectator
The rise of heart
The rise of heart
You came alone
You thought you saw a light within me
Too close to home
There is no place for us that I can see.
You know that sometimes love must die to keep away the heartache
And there's no way for you and I so please stop running
'Cause if we start>BR>The rise of heart
I won't wanna be a spectator
The rise of heart
The rise of heart
You know what I want to be
I won't only want to be one of your spectators
You came alone
You thought you saw a light inside of me
Too close to home
There is nowhere for us that I can see.
Living on the coast 5:05
Living on the coast
You see no-one beyond the waterline
You make yourself feel better
By breathing in the air
You try to make the most of every day you can afford to waste
But even though you take your time you don't have to care
'Cause all you want to find is there
And what you see is what you take apart from me
'Cause I won't be with you.
An evening in the sun
Shining just enough to make you stay
You know the warm wind fools you
You call it your own
A little conversation
Just another way to pass the time
Another day forgotten but you're still alone
'Cause all you want to find is there
And what you see is what you take apart from me
'Cause I won't be with you
If sometime I take the time to reach you
Would you think I'm someone special
And if I was alone with you who would need the sympathy
Molly 3:07
As you roll down the beach
Brushing your fingers through the pebbles and rainwater
You want to be reached
You stand there hoping, longing to find him again
Molly can you hear him?
If you break through that shell it would suit you so well
Molly, hear him calling
With his tales of the sea you know it's gonna be so fine
He was here yesterday
Looking for romance laughter before he sailed away
His boat docked in your bay
He wanted all your favours you could not fail
Rain On The Hills 3:39
Inside a pool hall in Antonio he got arrested, he had no luck at all.
When you're English in Antonio take a shot and they pin you to the wall.
Looks like there's more rain on the hills.
You choose your own reasons for yesterday
Rain on the hills
Seven days in Antonio
They sent him down, he had no luck at all
The woods are black outside Antonio
He found it easy to climb the prison walls
Looks like there's more rain on the hills.
You choose your own reasons for yesterday
If you don't need it you don't have to stick around and waste your time
If you can't believe it
just another piece of useless information
Rain on the hills
He made his way down to Chicago
He should have sailed up to Niagara Falls.
They put the carpet down at Heathrow
Thought he'd go flying but he had no luck at all.
Looks like there's more rain on the hills.
You choose your own reasons for yesterday
Rain on the hills
Return!!!
