CROWD OF CROWS
Well i'll pick the pocket of your soul
And then go running down the road
Knock upon your favourite door
They'll never ever bring you down
You're too far away now
To be bothered by those things anymore
Those days were dark like a crowd of crows
That crowd of crows has flown
Like crows we've flown into the sun
To find where we belong
So push your buttons and sound your horns
We'll coin a phrase and spend some more
Anything to keep you from sin
They say theres place way up high
Another land sits a clever guy
He's got the world upon a string
Those days were dark like a crowd of crows
That crowd of crows has flown
Like crows we've flown into the sun
To find where we belong

MAKE A WAVE
Hey world i'm writing to tell you we've all gone mad
The seat that I used to sit has now become a stand
And my head is filled with worry not for me but for you
I hope you find a space somewhere that you can belong to
Start a ripple we'll make a wave
Build tomorrow from yesterday
Thaw this world thats froze itself insane
Hey friend i'm trying to kind of muddle through
And if you find that space somewhere make sure theres room for a few
Start a ripple we'll make a wave
Build tomorrow from yesterday
Thaw this world thats froze itself insane

TIME CAPSULE
You're counting the minutes of every day
You're living this frame by frame
And some of the words they let escape
Echoed we've been betrayed
So who am I to fill this empty space
No wonder I feel so out of place
Cos living this time capsule
Is like standing just to fall
How far do you want to go?
How many more mistakes?
Who's to blame? Nobody knows
Is it anybody but me?
So who am I to fill this empty space
No wonder I feel so out of place
Cos living this time capsule
Is like standing just to fall

KEEP YOUR LIGHT ON
My calling girl I call your heart my home
Take your time cos it won't take that long
Wipe those cobwebs away from your room
I'll keep my light on cos you're coming soon
Keep you light on
Keep your light on for me
Keep you light on
There has been so many lonely nights
A thousand missed calls a million long goodbyes
And wipe those cobwebs away from your room
I'll keep my light on cos you're coming soon
Keep your light on
Keep your light on for me
Yeah for me
Keep you light on

FINDING PENNY
There's a sun setting in my soul
A swollen conscience with a grip that won't let go
I've got tired heavy eyes from a gut full of lies that was told
There's a song bird in my ear
She tells me all her problems, how they won't disappear
She's got two strong wings but they can't do a thing soaked with tears
I'm not asking for a change
But sometimes to move forward you gotta go back again
I'm a simple naive man, a man without a plan and thats my aim
Gotta find penny to pay bill
She's playing hard to get now it's making me ill
It's a never ending game
But the rules they aint the same atop of the hill

HIS DAYS HAVE NO SOUND
So you sold your soul, played truth or dare and lost it all
It's only wafer thin this so called confidence that we live in
And it goes round, his days have no sound
How could I contain corrosive thoughts within a rusting brain?
It's only paper thin this so called confidence you wrap me in
And it goes round, his days have no sound

BARE BONES
There's a man on the street doesn't look to good to me
He's got a brown paper bag & he's struggling to speak
He's been pardoned by the world he's got people to defy
He'll do it all alone cos the people they just walk by
Oh are you just a soul & are you trying to find your way back home?
he's got a very fragile friend who helps him to get high
He's got a pocket full of change just waiting to provide
And on and on it goes not to far away from here
And if you strip it to the bone then the broken ones appear
Oh are you just a soul & are you trying to find you way back home?

ANARCHY'S TONGUE (SHEPHERDS SONG)
Peanut's dreaming dreams in a smoked city
She's picking at all of those bones
The street corner pours out it's youthful roars
Cos they got nowhere else to go
Politician soup floods the evening news
They're serving for everyone
there's no food left for thought cos they ate it all
And now i'm tripping over anarchy's tongue
And every now and then I can't sleep
I watch for the shepherd and his sheep
Grass growing tall it never makes me small
It always makes me feel kind of new
But when I scream big I shrink a bit
It lets me slip right out of view
The mask on your face it looks out of place
It's starting to wear thin
We all like to go to the watering hole
But we don't all like to drink
And every now and then I can't sleep
I watch for the shepherd and his sheep
