The Backs 04:28
It feels like all my life Coming home It feels like all my life Coming home Traveling I'm traveling I'm traveling I'm traveling, ah ha I feel like all the stars In the sky I feel like all the stars In the sky Traveling I'm traveling I'm traveling I'm traveling, ah ha Down the road the body lies Pick it up just like a baby When she cries . (down the road you know i won't give in, i won;t let go down the road my baby...) We're going down the road Down the road

Black Sunday 03:58
I held you there I tried to feel Both hands on the wheel Held you there I tried to feel Both hands on the wheel I can hear the heavens sing But you don't feel a thing I can hear the heavens sing You don't feel a thing I knew I would never be Good enough for you I would never see The sun come through your window And the blue breaking through Was not for me So, I tried to tell you from my heart But you ripped it all apart On a park bench Black Sunday

The Breaks 04:08
The sun sets across your sky My heart breaks in time While you close your eyes The clouds drop On my desert life My heart breaks tonight My heart breaks, my heart breaks, my heart breaks... When we met Ooh across the sea I tried to forget But it was no good you see Cause when we met All i could see Was my love, was my love And my love was so lovely But now my heart breaks, my heart breaks, my heart breaks...

Sharkks 03:07
(diggy don da don da don da diggy don da don da don da) Gimme that, gimme that she says I'm falling apart I'm falling behind City to city, and Sign to sign Send me away, and Say goodbye I see sharks out of my window I hope this thing won't go down Surely they won't leave a trace Of me behind In the ocean or the ground Gimme that, gimme that I know this love is no lover Love is no lover Minute by minute, and Mile by mile Kiss and a wave, and Say goodbye I see sharks out of my window I hope this thing won't go down Surely they won't leave a trace Of me behind In the ocean or the ground Sleep little baby All through the night Over the sea We'll be there With the sunrise...

xoj 03:14
You pick me up, and Turn me 'round You never said a word But i thought I heard You love me, love me, love me, love me Love me, love me, love me, love me You pull me in and whisper low With your hands all around Like you want me to know You love me, love me, love me, love me, love me Love me, love me, love me, love, me , love me And I wanna tell you I could never tell you Cause you didn't know me then I was a girl in the hollows No one could break or bend Secrets I'd churn and I'd swallow You pick me up and turn me 'round

If you ever forget this How could you forget this I'll be right here to remind you We'll take off all our clothes Jump up and down Dance around Bake a cake Eat it all in the morning So, I like beef And you like cheese Together they make A most delicious tea Cake, cake, cake, cake!! If you ever forget this How could you forget this? I'll be right here to remind you We'll take off our clothes Jump up and down Dance around Bake a cake Eat it all in the morning Cake, Cake, Cake, Cake!!

Death of Me 03:22
Gimme what you got Gimme the gun One shot Gimme the gun Gimme what you got Gimme the gun One shot Gimme the gun Brace yourself Brace yourself I took a bullet before you But I lived to tell Gimme what you got You don't say why It don't mean you make me cry Gimme what you got You don't say why It don't mean you make me cry Brace yourself Brace yourself I been hurt before I been loved as well Brace yourself Brace yourself I took a bullet before you But I lived to tell You shot me down Like only a lover can Shot me down Gimme what you got Gimme the gun One shot Gimme the gun Gimme what you got Gimme the gun You get one shot So, gimme the gun But brace yourself Brace yourself I been hurt before I been loved as well And brace yourself Brace yourself I took a bullet before you But I lived to tell Boom, boom, boom Boom, boom, boom...

Lover don't worry You're the only one I want Lover don't worry You're the only one I want Stay up all night With my history Stay up all night With me Lover don't touch me Cause you're the only I want Lover don't help me You're the only one I want Stay up all night With my history Stay up all night With me This night (this night) This room (that room) This head (this head) This moon (that moon) Say what you want Everyone does about it All I know is I can't do without it This night (this night) This room (that room) This head (this head) This moon (that moon) This night (this night) This room (that room) This room (that room) Then the sun goes down She gets out, she gets out Then the sun goes down (and the quiet's on) She gets out, she gets out

Bees 03:14
Bees'll bumble low They get inside me And don't let go When the winter blows Cold on you Push it to and fro I'm buzzin' like You just don't know And the story grows Old on you Oh, I see Your eyes have fallen The weight of another night callin' Oh, I can't be crawlin' But the way that you love me Feels like home A penny for your sins You're knockin', and I let you in When the game begins I can't win A penny for your sins You're knockin' and I let you in When the game begins I can't win Oh, I see Your eyes have fallen The weight of another night callin' Oh, I can't be crawlin' But the way that you love me Feels like home In the darkest of my hours All the love, the pain It devours
10.
Time 03:54
The ghosts have all lined up I feel it in my body The faces of my love Broken before me And did you know The words you say Are equal to the price I pay Did you know I fall apart now Every day Time won't save me now I can't fall back It's all run out I've run these roads for years My home is in my body And places disappear And then forget me And did you know The words you say Are equal to the price I pay Did you know I fall apart now Every day Time won't save me now I can't fall back It's all run out
11.
Hangover 04:34
Don't wake me up I've figured out everything Let me lay And while my heart is breaking Don't come around Don't tell me how It could have been Don't wake me up I've figured out everything Don't shake me now I've settled down A little bit Don't come around Don't tell me how It could have been Don't wake me now Don't wake me now Don't wake me now
