On A Mission
I can’t pay my bills
Cause I haven't had a job in weeks
Close to the breaking point
All the dirt is starting to stain my sheets
But I’m on a mission
On a mission as we speak
On a mission
On a mission
Talk is cheap
Talk is cheap
So how did it come to this?
On the past I will not dwell
Out on the edge tonight
Is there anyway out of this cell
On a mission
On a mission as we speak
On a mission
On a mission
Talk is cheap
Talk is cheap
My oh my
I ain’t hard to please
My oh my
What I wouldn’t give
For some light relief
Just a little pause
From the daily dose
So can I catch a break
A second chance
One more try
To turn this thing around
Yeah!
So how did it come to this
I do believe that it was all down to me
Time has come to run it around
Do it now or never be free

Ghost
Desperate times
call for desperate measures
There were too many holes in the boat
Ran out of luck,
Ran out of love
Somehow we both completely lost the plot
So here’s my handover letter
Signed sealed
And delivered
You’re on your own again
Free to be you again
While I become a grey ghost from your past
You can’t hang all your dreams
On a promise

Down The Line
I’ve been missing you
I’ve been missing you
So tired of running around
In places more lost than found
Time takes its toll
Somewhere down the line
I’ve been missing you
I’ve been missing you
Fortune she favours the brave
I’m willing to do whatever it takes
Before I get cold
Somewhere down the line
Want to like what I see
When I look in the mirror
Do you know what I mean?
There’s a soul inside me
That no one can see
Is the alcohol singing?
As I keep on surviving
Think I’ll keep on walking
Down the line

Sharks
Daily humour is sadly missing
So you can stay with all my blessing
I am gone
Time to start living
Decision made there was no blinking
Today I want to set you thinking
So what
Is It that i’m not getting?
There are sharks in the swimming pool
Knew it was all over when we moved
From laughing every minute
To arguing every second of the day
Now every minute that we spend fighting
Is a minute we will be loosing
Long gone
Can’t you see what’s happening?
Under your spell
Under your spell
Have I not served you well?
Under your spell
Under your spell
And now my heart is cold
So all the best I won’t be staying
“It’s for the best” that’s what they’re all saying
You know what?
I know it’s you i won’t be forgetting
There are sharks in the swimming pool
Knew it was all over when we moved
From laughing every minute
To arguing every second
Every minute
Every hour of the day

All Of Us
On the wire
In the line of fire
Take me out
Or I’ll do the same to you
You know that it’s true
Won’t be fooled once again
We all can see
With clarity
The pain they give
Just to feel superior
and safe in their beds
Won't be fooled again
All of us
Are we losing the plot?
You know, I certainly hope not
Hope our nerves aren't all shot
So let’s consider our position
We have nothing to fear but fear itself
We have nothing to lose
So keep holding on
Sing your songs
Give it time
Soon they will be gone
We are nobody’s fools
We won’t be bought by anyone
All of us
Don’t go losing the plot
You know, the fools will get caught
because the truth will get sought
Let’s consider our position
We have nothing to fear but fear itself
We have nothing to lose
