There is no other way I know There is no other way I know by now There is no other way I know by now There is no other way Tired out, all out Stare into the future from the ground UpSIDE down Where did you come from lets swim to the town Right Now Don't get confused I know they're slowing down Oh now Stare into the future now There is no other way I know There is no other way I know by now There is no other way I know by now There is no other way All Out hang out So I know you always stand your ground With you're head down Staring all the people when they're out Ya Hide out Ya cant intrude in silence with a frown The clown Scaring all the people now There is no other way I know There is no other way I know by now There is no other way I know by now There is no other way Coz winners and grinners Fighting for their fortune only Sinners for winners Can't control the future and they're Highers and Flyers Floating back to heaven coz they're Winners and grinners Tired out, all out Stare into the future from the ground UpSIDE down Where did you come from lets swim to the town Right Now Don't get confused I know they're slowing down Oh now Stare into the future from the ground

She’s my sweetie my one and only sweetie Love my sweetie she loves me all the time She’s my sweetie my one and only sweetie Love my sweetie and she gets bored all the time all the time Take a photo of the sky from the apple of your eye And she knows that nothings wrong Make a poster of the night paint a picture just in time And she knows Im coming home She’s my sweetie my one and only sweetie Love my sweetie she loves me all the time She’s my sweetie my one and only sweetie Love my sweetie and she gets bored all the time all the time all the time all the time Now we’re walking into town bets a dollar not to frown From a distance it looks small Haven’t got that much to say doesnt matter anyway There’s a ghost and it looks tall She’s my sweetie my one and only sweetie Love my sweetie she loves me all the time She’s my sweetie my one and only sweetie Love my sweetie and she gets bored all the time all the time all the time all the time Take a photo of the sky from the apple of your eye And she knows that nothings wrong Make a poster of the night paint a picture just in time And she knows Im coming home She’s my sweetie my one and only sweetie Love my sweetie she loves me all the time She’s my sweetie my one and only sweetie Love my sweetie she’s angry all the time She’s my sweetie my one and only sweetie Love my sweetie and she gets bored all the time all the time all the time all the time All the time blows my mind and the things that we wrote in the sand

When theyre in this house You know theyre gunna stay When they say theyre out You know you’ll shy away When theyre in this space They thought you’d run away When you call them out what they gunna say When theyre in this house You thought you’d shine today Dressed in morning glow What you gunna say Ya Know! You know you know you know Ive gone away Ya Know Im gunna stay Evryones in doubt About the state of play Then I think Im right And you doubt the way When theyre in this house You know you’ll shine today Best to single out And not to say Ya Know! You know you know you know Ive gone away Ya Know Im gunna stay Ya Know! You know you know you know Ive gone away Today, when theyre in this house

Somewhere I know A man walks along Probably sees something to be Never been wrong the man walks along And probably stares there Feeling like a Super Lizard Running so fast Feeling like a Super Lizard Running on gas Came to a hill With the moon lying still Came to the trees swaying in the breeze Looked back at the hill With the moon smiling still Theres something to share there Feeling like a Super Lizard Running so fast Feeling like a Super Lizard Running on gas Feeling so bad do ya Feeling so sad do ya Leaving so mad yeah Feeling like a Super Lizard flat out drinking yeah on the grass Went to a fancy party the other day what do you think I saw Broken Glass

Temporary Stone 03:34
lyrics
buy track
In the bathroom, lying still made of temporary stone From the darkness to very well. You try to catch me when Im gone. Right or wrong you're setting sail Hanging on to emptiness When you're gone you will succeed Moving on to celebrate On the side you love to tell Shady stories on the road Hear the siren very well Im Gunna catch you when he's gone Right or wrong this emptiness Is moving on and setting sail When you're gone you will succeed Hanging on to celebrate Right or wrong this emptiness Is moving on and setting sail When you're gone you will succeed Hanging on to celebrate Everywhere I've gone You never went Making something wrong in revenge I am moving on I will prevail Thinking of what she said to me

Ancient History 03:09
lyrics

Statues made of bronze behind a jaded cross Brings a darkness full of haze You wanted to take em home Something to show your mum But she never liked them anyway Smiling walking ghost who surely made the most Turning lights out everywhere How long were you searching in the wind The lights on don’t you let it slip away I thought about it every single day My Love are you here to stay You wanted to blow your mind for the 11th time And right there you made your escape When you felt the thought did someone put you off To make it happen yesterday Walk through of Gods how did they make em up Somebody told you thats the way How long were you searching in the wind The lights on don’t you let it slip away I thought about it every single day My Love are you here to stay How long were you searching in the wind The lights on don’t you let it slip away I thought about YOU every single day My Love are you here to stay My Love are you here to stay

Its Freezing out and the winds too cold without A fire there shelter overhead Find it there somehow Pictures of a clown What you on about You made it all worthwhile Ezy now theres no need to shout Find the thing that you’ll never find again Find it there somehow Pictures of a clown What you on about You made it all worthwhile Watch em leave in this picture You made it after all Watch and see in this picture Debated for so long Watch and see in this picture Find it there somehow Pictures of a clown What you on about You made it all worthwhile Watch em leave in this picture You made it after all Watch and see in this picture Debated for so long Watch and see in this picture in this picture in this picture in this picture
