I’ve got a handful of nothing a headful of dreams A thousand situations not quite what they seem My passion is high my patience has gone It’s the same old story from dusk till dawn Running on faith living on hope A tug of war at both ends of the rope God takes care of the drunks and the fools In this lifetime I have being both And the Devil makes work for idle hands to do Got a hole in my pocket a hole in my shoe My wishes cast away trying to hold on It’s a never ending story from dusk till dawn I can’t stop moving I won’t stand still A million conversations too much time to kill The furure is bright the past is done They tell me don’t lokk back in to the sun Running on faith living on hope Burning the candle smoking the dope God takes care of the drunks and the fools If you follow the signs and abide by the rules And the Devil makes work for idle hands to do Got a hole in my pocket a hole in my shoe My wishes cast away trying to hold on It’s a never ending story from dusk till dawn Running on hope living on faith All good things come to those who wait God takes care of the drunks and the fools In this lifetime I have being both

There’s many folk who’d love to know There’s some who’d maybe even give it a go The rumours may be overblown But the truth will never be known About The Town Street Special The Town Street Special When you’ve got the urge, you’ve got the horn You’re on the edge lust overdrawn You want something off menu There’s only one thing you can do Town Street Special Town Street Special The perpetrator will take it to his grave Nobody knows how deranged He plays his cards close to his chest No information is suppressed Town Street Special Town Street Special On a weekend away in Amsterdam Window shopping For a Madame There’s 3 from which to choose A brisk response comes from each room Town Street Special I won’t do that I won’t do that I won’t do that I won’t do that There’s a bloke in The Brudenall Social Club He’s in each day drinking smooth He won’t rest until he knows the truth He aint had a shag since 2002 Town Street Special Town Street Special There’s many folk who’d love to know There’s some who’d maybe even give it a go The rumours they’ve be overblown But the truth will never be known About The Town Street Special The Town Street Special There’s many folk who’d love to know There’s some who’d maybe even give it a go The rumours may be overblown But the truth will never be known About The Town Street Special The Town Street Special When you’ve got the urge, you’ve got the horn You’re on the edge lust overdrawn You want something off menu There’s only one thing you can do Town Street Special I won’t do that

Look at me I’ll look at you A lot to say that much is true Contemplate the lows and highs A lifetimes passed before your eyes Look at me I’ll look at you A lot to say that much is true Contemplate the lows and highs A lifetimes passed before your eyes But I can’t find reason why Why you should be the jealous type A reason why will still remain I shake my head and rack my brain Rack my brain And I can’t find a reason for it I just can’t put my finger on it Suppose you had to be there Sometimes it’s just like Jackanory When you don’t.t know the full story Of that you need to be aware And there’s no need to pick a side Or to conquer and divide It’s true that we all make mistakes That contribute to heartache But I still I can’t find reason why Why you should be the jealous type A reason why will still remain I shake my head and rack my brain Rack my brain And I can’t find a reason for it I just can’t put my finger on it Suppose you had to be there Sometimes it’s just like Jackanory When you don’t know the full story Of that you need to be aware And I can’t find a reason for it I just can’t put my finger on it Suppose you had to be there Sometimes it’s just like Jackanory When you don’t.t know the full story Of that you need to be aware

On a Thursday Evening in September 2012 I met someone I wish I never has I had to make the toughest decision I’ve ever had to make in my entire life For I’m a terrible liar And I’d make a terrible cheat But you set my world on fire And you could fall at my feet On the 28th of September 2012 I made the decision I’d quickly live to regret After 13 years, 9 months and 28 days I walked away from the best thing in my life And I’m a terrible liar And I’d make a terrible cheat But you set my world on fire And you could fall at my feet And I’m a terrible liar And I’d make a terrible cheat But you set my world on fire And you could fall at my feet And do you still have that bottle of Lambs Navy Rum You had in the cupboard of your Kitchen And do you still have the Hopton glass I used to drink it from When I came round on a Friday night And It’s amazing how the stupidest little thing Trigger a memory of something that happened years ago For I’m a terrible liar And I’d make a terrible cheat But you set my world on fire And you could fall at my feet And I’m a terrible liar And I’d make a terrible cheat But you set my world on fire And you could fall at my feet

Tied Down 03:01
Can’t get no strings for my guitar Can’t get no sole for my shoes Can’t get no lyrics for my song And I can’t get no love from you Although I’ve tried that much is true Can’t get this things off my mind I’ve lost the shirt for my back I’ve lost the keys to my flat I know that I’ll be lonesome soon And I can’t pay my own bills Can’t even buy the headache pills Can’t get these things off my mind I’m tied down trouble knows me by name I’m tied down seems there’s no other way I’m tied down is this how it’s going to be I’m tied down need to be set free My bank account is in the red Can’t stop the noose tightening round my neck Can’t keep the Shylock from my door And I aint got no guarantees of the hours that I’ll do this week Can’t get these things off my mind I’m tied down trouble knows me by name I’m tied down seems there’s no other way I’m tied down is this how it’s going to be I’m tied down need to be set free The beer tokens have been spent I’m brasic and can’t pay the rent Can’t get these things off my mind As the situation spirals out of control Can’t dig my way out of this hole Can’t get out of this hole I’m tied down trouble knows me by name I’m tied down seems there’s no other way I’m tied down is this how it’s going to be I’m tied down need to be set free I’m tied down trouble knows me by name I’m tied down seems there’s no other way I’m tied down is this how it’s going to be I’m tied down need to be set free, need to be free

The Duchess 03:55
It stood at 71 vicar lane Sofa slept on by Kurt Cobain It’s gone now it’s such a shame No other venue is quite the same John Keenan at the door with his red till Pint of directors and Bikini Kill It was only a few quid in A bit more if American There was always great bands on the bill Amps stacked up on crates of Holsten Pils Flat nose John was on the desk Oh this place was just the best The Duchess of York If Hugo Boss shop walls could talk A blue plaque should adorn The Duchess of York The stage was graced by Radiohead Half Man Half Biscuit and The Inept Bands came from far and wide Muse and Oasis played there twice The Duchess of York If Hugo Boss shop walls could talk A blue plaque should adorn The Duchess of York In March 2000 it closed its doors And live music was no more Taken over by a fashion brand Why it closed I’ll never understand The Duchess of York If Hugo Boss shop walls could talk A blue plaque should adorn The Duchess of York The Duchess of York If Hugo Boss shop walls could talk A blue plaque should adorn The Duchess of York

I once met a girl with long flaxen hair If I could turn back time I’d tell her how much I care When we were younger living the dream On a carousel of emotions there was no in between Being young and foolish I let her slip away With a kind twist of fate maybe we’ll meet up one day The girl with the flaxen hair The girl with the flaxen hair The girl with the flaxen hair The girl with the flaxen hair After chasing the shadows of fortune and fame I heard she got married and changed her last name They moved to a place way over the sea I wonder if she ever spared a thought for me Maybe tomorrow as the tides of time turn She will come back to me for her my heart yearns The girl with the flaxen hair The girl with the flaxen hair The girl with the flaxen hair The girl with the flaxen hair As the rain falls hard I hope shes safe and warn Me I put on a brave face to try to battle the storm A special connection she knew how to blow my mind Full of beauty and wonder she’s one of a kind I think to myself what’s she doing where’s she now What I wouldn’t give to talk to her somehow The girl with the flaxen hair The girl with the flaxen hair The girl with the flaxen hair The girl with the flaxen hair So let’s raise a glass to the girl with the flaxen hair You gave a me a pair of wings you got me walking, walking on air

Well it only takes one look And your heart melts and your whole world has being shook And there’s nothing you can do As something’s got a hold on you Well you never stood a chance After just one fleeting glance And there’s nothing you can do As something’s got a hold on you And it’s like an itch that you just can’t scratch Way out of reach in the middle of your back A desire for something, something you can’t have And we all share the same stars And healing wounds always leave scars Tis better to have loved and lost than not loved at all Not loved at all Should have looked the other way But now it’s much too late And there’s nothing you can do As something’s got a hold on you And it’s like an itch that you just can’t scratch Way out of reach in the middle of your back A desire for something, something you can’t have And we all share the same stars And healing wounds always leave scars Tis better to have loved and lost than not loved at all Not loved at all Not loved at all Not loved at all Not loved at all And it’s like an itch that you just can’t scratch Way out of reach in the middle of your back A desire for something, something you can’t have And we all share the same stars But healing wounds always leave scars Tis better to have loved and lost than not loved at all Not loved at all
