HOBO

Don't like your Nepalese sweater
Don't like That food ur cooking
Don't like Ur reggae or yr drum n bass sound system;
Off yr face at shambala loaded on yr ketamine
All yr friends r wankers
They just sit around smoking
 and :

hate u it's ur day-glo hairdo
must I stumble the same street back to st Paul's?

she's got a lot of £, but she dress like a refugee
and she can shove her yoga mat up her arse and her reiki;
the 1990's over -rave has died and ecstasy's now really weak n gouchy
like ur front room in Easton and I...

So pour another beer and spend yr wages down th canteen
u had a pop at Tesco then charge me 4 quid for my coffee;
who thought that counter culture wld mean dressing so shabbily?
u voted Green wheredit get ya? u almost made me vote tory and I...

NEW! (words by abbey may / alex kirkup)

you take me down to the shore
a place we d never been before
U TALK ABOUT WHEN WE FIRST MET
THEN U TELL ME THE WORDS THAT I LL NEVER FORGET


and you say that it's over, and you say that I'm no good
I didn't worry for nothing b/c u found sumone new

walkin on my own thru th January snow when your name comes up on my my phone
suddenly a glimmer of hope but then I hear a voice I know your not alone

and I know that it's over and I know say that im no good
I didn't worry for nothing b/c u found sumone new

another yr is over and I thought I d got over you, u call me up at 4 in the morning
saying I want to meet up do you?
I m waiting at the rainy shoreline the place we never met the last time
it s getting late and my heart is breaking it s clear youre not gonna show

and I know that it's over, and I know that youre no good
I didn't worry for nothing b/c u found sumone new

MY FINAL DANCE

I sailed away through the galaxy and starry skies held me tight,
But I couldn't get away from me the universe ain't deep or wide enough.
...
(sailed away to a higher plane, darkened skies held me tight


 the same old lies still   inside, the strangest thoughts as you collide)


 I'm breaking up, I m breaking up my final entry


I followed this spaceman dream, turned my back on family


i stare at Saturn, and i think of home
i rage at Venus, I've just seen my old town

this is my final dance - in the black

this is my final dance 

 26 miles and half alive, but spinning fast to the great divide
 a solar beam, my engine screams, reminds me  of that old dream
I'm breaking up, I m breaking up my final entry
i never got to find the one - gave it up on a long shot

i stare at Saturn, and i feel very old
no supernova as you greet death alone
no bright white tunnel memories will be lost
so rage at Venus i ve just seen my old town
 this is my final dance - in the black
this is my final dance

AS FAR AS THE SUN (words by Abbey May & Alex Kirkup)

1)
It's been a long road together,
we've come a long long way and now we're here

and I can't think of anyone I d rather have spent it with
and I can't help but looking back with fondness :)

2)
we've felt a 1000 days together
we've shared a 1000, 1000 memories we'll always share

but now I cant think of any reason to continue
and now I think its time that we should both get free.

and now it's time were done!

and now it's time were done!

CHORUS:
I'm not asking for forgiveness
The world keeps turning, and you feel as far as the sun, as far as the sun.

CHORUS: oooh oooh oooh oooooh  x3
                -you feel as far as the sun

and now I can't think of anyone I'd rather have spent it with
and I can't help but looking back with fondness

CHORUS:

OUTRO- As far as the sun .....

Endlessly (partial)

Verse 2

Denmark Street you heard the beat, the years pass & this tune gets old
Danni why- Do we create our prison walls?
Chances come & people go, the bad habits seem to stick around,
Danni why?- wanna talk to you not to the sky.


Verse 3

But I give you the finger ...

If there is no reason why I will stop shouting at the sky,
Danni why must we go on this is goodbye.

little people, little lives

LITTLE PEOPLE LIVING SMALL LIVES,
RISE ABOVE IT COS THIS IS, THIS IS YOUR LIFE.

POWER STRUGGLES POOR FIGHTING POOR
IMAGINATION CAN GET US OUT OF THIS TOWN.

FACE DON'T FIT DON'T GIVE A MONKEY'S,
KEEP ON WORKING TO GET CLOSER TO THE SUN

WE'RE FAR FROM THE SUN
WE'RE FAR FROM THE SUN
WE'RE FAR FROM THE SUN
WE'RE FAR FROM THE SUN...

no fair wind...

Don't get mired in the details
Running around trying to give our little lives sum meaning


'No fair wind favours the man who doesn't know the destination of his ship'

your effort to remain the same is what limits you

big fish (by abbey)

1. take a little chance - on the big fish yay
take a little chance - and reel in the line

take a little chance and u will c, that its meant to be, u and me, that its meant 2 b

when, will u c, the lite, in yr eyes?
and when, will u start, to realise, it ain't right - without me?
(without me)?

2. take one of your lives - and turn it into 9
then take 1 of those 9 lives - and make another 9

take a little chance and u will c, that its meant to be, u and me, that its meant 2 b

when, will u c, the lite, in yr eyes?
and when, will u start, to realise, it ain't right - without me?
(without me)?

take a little chance on the big fish yay
take a little chance on the big fish yay
take a little chance on the big fish yay.
