Reminds Me of Me

She’s a control freak, everything’s got to be neat
She’s got clean sheets, she has bear feet
In her head she’s got money she buys things in her dreams
She collects plastic bags ‘cos they might come in handy
She doesn’t need a man to take her mind off of things
She’s got lots to write about and lots to find amusing
I don’t know what it is but she reminds me of me
She likes new magazines she likes rock n roll songs
She supports Greenpeace, she gets all the questions wrong
She no good at maths, she can’t spell at all
She’ll mistake you for someone else and be late for her own funeral
She collects things that you might call junk
She’s got long hair, gets choked up a lot
Don’t know what it is but she reminds me of me
She’s really quite shy, she doesn’t know what to say to strangers
Gets lost in thought with no way of arranging them
Party animal too much is never enough
Next morning she’s always feeling rough
She talks to herself, rehearses conversations
Never plans anything but goes through the motions
I don’t know what it is but she reminds me of me
Ooo
Who’s that girl, who’s that girl
Who’s that girl, who’s that girl
She believes that she shouldn’t ever take no crap
She’s an independent woman and she’s happy with that
Whatever the plans she’s never been sust
She’s a really good host but takes time to adjust
Went to a remedial school for bad grammar and
What do you know turns out a song writer
I don’t know what it is
I don’t know what it is
I don’t know what it is but she reminds me of me

Blue Planet

Hide your sons hide your daughters or cover their eyes
This train won’t stop for no one it’s a one-way ticket ride
All the carbon footprint giants try to pass the blame
But everyone with eyes can see that it’s a cryin’ shame
We’re the Blue Planet baby
Won’t be blue for very long
We’re the blue planet baby
Fire water earth and song
When our time here is done
We go back to wherever the hell we came from
Someone take the wheel before the sun goes down
We’ve been hiding out while the world’s spinning round
Now we can’t see the woods from the trees
So we spend our time online shopping for things that we don’t need
We’re the Blue Planet baby
Won’t be blue for very long
We’re the blue planet baby
Fire water earth and song
When our time here is done
We go back to wherever the hell we came from
Go on make your connections smiling in every direction
It don’t cost a thing to be kind
‘Cos life as we know it could change at any moment
We don’t get to know when or why

Where to Begin
03:13
|

I was once told that singin’ the Blues was good
I don’t know whether to believe that advice though I should
It’s the kind of music that sinks deep in your bones
The tunes, they seem to circulate from your head to your toes
although they are slow
I don’t have a clue mmm
And I don’t know about you
Writing a song you can’t tell if you’ll win
It just takes some time to know just where to begin
Yeah where to begin
Living is easy when you’re into the blues
No need for busyness when you’re in the mood
In general life should start slowing down
Then you’d be the one standing out in the crowd
Standing out it the crowd
In the crowd
Still don’t have a clue
I don’t know about you
Writing a song you can’t tell if you’ll win
It just takes some time to know just where to begin
mmm
yeah where to begin
where to begin
I don’t have a clue
I don’t know about you oo ooo
Writing a song you can’t tell if you’ll win
It just takes some time to know just where to begin
yeah where to begin
yeah where to begin
yeah where to begin
where to begin
where to begin
where to begin
mm mm mm mmm
ooo ooo ooo oooo

Miami (Blues Remix)
03:11

I fell into a pastel paint-by-numbers in the sunshine
A big old turquoise ocean was a backdrop to geometric lines
Humidity was high under the palm trees
And everyone’s smiling at the same time
Miami, Miami designs
Miami, how I miss Miami light
And her mother of pearl sky
Neon beach lit up by the moon and stars
Old man on a park bench with a Cuban cigar
Sweet summer breeze at midnight with nowhere to go
How could this feel so right
When I’m so far from home?
Miami, Miami designs
Yeah yeah yeah I said
Miami, how I miss Miami light
And her mother of pearl sky
She’ll make you fall in love
You’ll forget your friends
Blinded by her light
You’ll never want it to end
And if you somehow leave
No matter where you are
You’ll always remember how time stopped
When you were in her arms
Miami, Miami designs
Miami, how I miss Miami light
And her mother of pearl sky
Miami (Miami) Miami designs
Yeah yeah yeah I said
Miami, how I miss Miami light
And her mother of pearl sky

Sunshine
03:35
|

|
Made my own bed and I lay in it
Made my mistakes and I deal with it
I suffer from disappointment
But I’ve got no time for regret
The man in the street he tells no lies
He’s got nothing and nothing to hide behind
He does what he can to make ends meet
I flick him a coin and it’s bittersweet
Because there will always be sunshine
There’ll always be sunshine
There’ll always be sunshine
There’ll always be sunshine
Everyone wants a piece of the pie
They’ve all got that greedy look in their eye
Maybe they’ve always been that way
Maybe their minds about to change
Because there will always be sunshine
There’ll always be sunshine
There’ll always be sunshine
There’ll always be sunshine
There’ll always be sunshine
There’ll always be sunshine
There’ll always be sun shining
There’ll always be sunshine

The Gambler

Put your money where your mouth is
Big talking players roll the dice
Density is calling your name
Right here under neon lights
Soon you’ll be making it rain
Swimming in champagne
Living your best life
You’re a gambling man
With your eye on the prize
Woo woo woo
You’re a gambling man
Throw your name away
But don’t throw away mine
I’ve been round this city long enough to know
How it goes at the end of the night
Don’t need a psychic to come to town
Everyone knows when chips are down
Play your hand and close your eyes
Cos’ that sinking feeling ain’t no surprise
No no no
It’s a shot in the dark, played by the blind
The gravy train just left you behind
Tell yourself just one more spin to keep those dollars rolling in
You’re a gambling man
With your eye on the prize
Woo woo woo
You’re a gambling man
Throw your name away
But don’t throw away mine
I’ve been round this city long enough to know
How it goes at the end of the night
Play your hand and close your eyes
It’s a shot in the dark, played by the blind
The gravy train just left you behind
Tell yourself just one more spin to keep those dollars rolling in
You’re a gambling man
With your eye on the prize
Ooo ooo ooo
You’re a gambling man
Throw your name away
But don’t throw away mine
I’ve been round this city long enough to know
How it goes at the end of the night
Put your money where your mouth is
Big talking players roll the dice

Well
the dark alley’s calling me it says
what’s your name girl come and see
you know I got something you need
and I follow stupidly
my nights are full of dreams
my days are full of reality
but unfortunately for me
I always go with my gut feel
I pat myself on the back
for times when I’ve avoided that
but I’m human and being
human has a way of falling into traps
Well
the dark alley’s calling me it says
what’s your name girl come and see
you know I got something you need
and I follow stupidly
Night is dark we all know that
pick yourself up and come on back
your dirty work will always tell
about the life you lead and you know this well
skeletons in the closet knock
they’ve got heads made out of solid rock
they never sleep and they don’t cry
you can kiss your hard work goodbye
Well
the dark alley’s calling me it says
what’s your name girl come and see
you know I got something you need
and I follow stupidly
Keep my feet walking along
step by step I’m going strong
just when I least expect
danger and I go head to head
The dark alley’s calling me it says
what’s your name girly girl come and see
you know I got something you need
and I follow stupidly
and I follow ooo stupidly
and I follow oo oo oo oo o stupidly

If you ask me one more time I’d have to kill you
and if I kill you and get caught I’d have to lie
I know that I lost my sense of direction
and it used to be pretty good I don’t know why
No I don’t but I
so want the freedom that I deserve
so want the freedom that I deserve
and I so want the freedom that I deserve
I so want the freedom that I deserve
I haven’t got the space in my life for you
I’ve got too much on my plate as usual
Can’t carry through I just keep thinking about
The freedom that I deserve
so want the freedom that I deserve
so want the freedom that I deserve
I so want the freedom that I deserve
I haven’t got the space in my life for you
(I’ve got too much on my plate)
I’ve got too much on my plate as usual
Can’t carry through I just keep
thinking about that freedom that I deserve
and I so want the freedom that I deserve
and I so want the freedom that I deserve
and I so want the freedom that I deserve
Nothings gonna to make me change my mind
(nothings gonna to make me change my mind)
Dreams do come true in good time mmm
Good time
Dreams do come true in good time
so want the freedom that I deserve
so want that freedom that I deserve
(so want the freedom that I deserve)
I so want that freedom that I deserve
I so want that freedom that I deserve
so want that freedom that I deserve
so want that freedom that I deserve
so want that freedom that I deserve
I so want that freedom that I deserve

Time

Time is an amazing thing
it changes your life it gets you thinking
time is an amazing thing it changes your life
it gets you thinking
it makes you happy makes you cry
makes you lazy makes you tell your lies
changes my mood helps me dream
time is such an amazing thing
Time will make you wonder why it’ll cut you straight down to size
time will watch you pass on by and wake you up in the middle of the night
time will disappoint you drive you mad
make you want to second guess your plan
fill your cup and take your man time is hard to understand
Time is an amazing thing it will make you do all sorts of things
time will make you sick and tired until the day that you decide
that you had enough draw the line older you get you got less time
break your back to bend the rules time is going to get to you
