2. (Too Many People Fall for the Same) Lies
The wreck of a home
Projected nightly on your own
So call all the dogs
And gather the family for talks
Too many people fall for the same lies
Too many people fall for the same lies
Time after time
Part of you knows
Never to ask or propose
So pile in the car
And ride it into the dark
Too many people fall for the same lies
Too many people fall for the same lies

3. Firewall
You come on like a firewall
You come on like a fire
You come on like a firewall
And I won’t put you out
No I won’t pull you down.
Meet me in the garden at night
Meet me in the garden
Meet me in the garden at night
And I won’t pull you out
No I won’t put you down
To see you in the morning light
To see you in the morn
To see you in the morning light
Could brighten up my eye
Could brighten up my eye

4. The Wheels
Choose a lie
Tell it fast
You don’t want to be the last
To say it for
One and all
Your mother and your father know
The wheels won’t slow
The wheels won’t slow
Choose a life
Live it fast
There’s no future in the past
But your brother and
Your best friend know
You still don’t know where to go
And
The wheels won’t slow
The wheels won’t slow
Don’t you know...
Don’t you know...
Choose a line
Walk it hard
Don’t you wander off the path
They’ll leave you out, all alone
Wondering ‘bout the after-show
The wheels won’t slow
The wheels won’t slow
Don’t you know...
Don’t you know...

5. Bloody Time of the Year
Flash your eyes, like a photograph
I’m a slave in them
Turn your hand, like a dullen’d knife
I won’t be sane again
Cause it’s a bloody time of the year
It’s a bloody time of the year
It’s a bloody time of the year
When you’re in love
Lash my hands, to the post and rail
Seems the thing to do
I’ll fix my smile, like a broken dial
Just to see me through
It’s a bloody time of the year
It’s a bloody time of the year
It’s a bloody time of the year
When you’re in love
So, I go
Too far, too slow
Again
Flash your eyes, like a photograph
I’m a slave in them
Blind I’ll run, for the only one
Can make me feel again
Cause it’s a bloody time of the year
It’s a bloody time of the year
It’s a bloody time of the year
When you’re in love
When you’re in love
When you’re in love
So, I go
Too far, too slow
So, I go
Too far, too slow
Again
Cause it’s a bloody time of the year
It’s a bloody time of the year
It’s a bloody time of the year
When you’re in love
When you’re in love
When you’re in love

6. There is a Heart on The Harrow
When the cold autumn light
Hits the old buildings right
She’ll find a way to cover up the grey
Anyhow
When the stores are all closed up tight
And the homes are burning bright
She’ll find a way to cover up the grey
She’ll light the way, but I am not afraid
Of a heart falling down
Of a heart falling down
When the only thing going right
Is the sound of a neighbor’s fight
She’ll light the way, but I am not afraid
She’ll light the way, but I am not afraid
Of a heart falling down
Of a heart falling down
Of a heart.

8. You Explained Away Everything
Sad scenes at the break of day
She’s dragging out the bags again
She’s got a lot of things going on
And you are only one.
Talking like a paperboy
Throwing headlines and nothing more
Somehow you’re figuring out
She never liked it how...
You explained away everything
Like a wrong number again
And you closed out every night
With some silly little
Fight
Fight
Phone calls from miles away
Everybody got something to say
You got a lot of things going on
If only she were one.
So ho-hum and a bottle of rum
This is called having fun
Strange way of figuring out
She never liked it how...
You explained away everything
Like a wrong number again
And you closed out every night
With some silly little
Fight
Fight
Fight

9. The Ten
It’s hard to stay awake
When you’re on the Interstate
And you’re finally alone
‘Cause she’s driving you home
Someone had to drive
So you drank to be polite
Now the tyres’ lonely moan
Is like a conversation going on
The cops won’t stop you know
’Cause you’re heading out of town
And the lights slowly spread apart
Till you’re driving through the dark
You try to catch a glimpse
Of a sign between your blinks
Then you see a name you know
You’re already home
She says
“Come on in...
…You can’t sleep in this thing”
Now you’re staring at the sheets
In those gentle waves of sleep
And as into your arms she falls
You wonder why you went out at all
…at all.

10. Tonight… On the Radio
The weight of all the world
Has fallen on a girl
She doesn’t even know
But it’s about to show
Later on outside
You’ve waved off all the flies
And the only buzz that’s heard
Is a thousand little words
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
And in a day or even more
Sprawled out on this floor
Will the morning light still find
You and I?
Just like...
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
...and on the radio
Plays a song
That you both know
She says she doesn’t know the words
But she’s humming every verse
So it comes as no surprise
When she sings them through a smile
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight

11. Follow The Thames
Corrode out
Hollow your heart
And mind, you won’t need them tonight.
This Friday night
Wreck at the bend
Don’t need, know that you’re on the mend.
So I follow your eyes, once round the room.
I follow the stars, right to the moon.
And follow the Thames, all the way home.
Call it a night
We’re all alone
All the riders fall, around here.
All the riders fall, this year.
To follow your eyes...
Follow the stars...
And follow the Thames, all the way home
So I follow your eyes, once round the room.
I follow the stars, right to the moon
And follow the Thames, all the way home
Sometimes it seems
The roads and the streets
Belong to those on the run

12. Man O’ Holes
There’s a little hole
Running through my heart
About the size of everyone I know
I can feel the cold breeze
Rushing through it
Whenever
You walk by my side
But it don’t mean I love you
Any less at all
That little hole is where you got in
There’s a little hole
Running to my brain
About the shape of everyone I know
I can feel the cold light
Rush into it
Whenever
You are in my sight
But it don’t mean I love you
Any less at all
That little hole is where you got in
And all these holes
Grow and grow and grow
But it won’t ever show
It don’t mean I love you
Any less at all
The little hole is where you got in

13. This Weather Will Go
I hear you coming
Your high heels knocking
On pavements of cold stone
You’re late for the weekend
And so many meetings
But what are you really on?
You scream like an ambulance
Falling on down the stairs
But what are you really on?
Like a cloud’s shadow
You roll through a narrow hall
But what are you really on?
Just like this weather
You’ll go
Just like the weather
We’ll talk about you all day long
Just like this weather
You’ll go
Just like the weather
We’ll talk about you all day long
This weather will go
This weather will go Toby Burke - Vocals, Electric & Acoustic Guitars
