Keeping Up 05:08
I’m keeping up and staying fashionable I’m keeping up with what they have next door I’m keeping up with gossip magazines It’s so worth it I’m keeping up with the Kardashians I’m keeping up with all my mortgage plans I’m keeping up with all the TV soaps Did you see?... I’m keeping up to be in front of you I’m keeping up with all thats in the news I’m keeping up with all the latest toys You must have I will be me – you will be you I’ll stay ahead of all you do This is my plan –I’ll be ahead Til all this stuff just fills my head I will be loved – you’ll be in awe I will be high above the floor People will say –this guy is great I wanna be like him today I’m keeping up with all the soccer scores I’m keeping up with all the big transfers I’m keeping up with my appearances Dont fail them I’m keeping up to date with trivia I’m keeping up to be so popular I’m keeping up so I don’t fall down Social scales

LOVING YOU FOREVER I used to think its perfect sense There was no sitting on the fence And truth or lies were clearly black or white But every night I have to pray I realise it’s not that way The truth is sometimes very hard to take I can’t let go – I need you now I’m loving you (I’m loving you) forever I’m fallible but stronger now I’m loving you (I’m loving you) forever I’m scared of what I could become It’s not like me I’m not that one Denial seems an easy place to be So change the future – shake the past Let the ghosts inside me laugh All that was is now what cannot be I’ve made mistakes along the way But they won’t stop me loving you forever

My Space 06:52
My Space I don’t want any company I don’t want anybody surrounding me Im tired of stupid games you’ve played I’ve had enough of everything you said I don’t want anything from you I don’t need any reason why I should do You’re just a person standing there Someone right now I really have no care for This is my space so please get out I don’t need you in here to tell me what you think about that This is the place I need to be A million miles away from anyone or anything I don’t want sympathy I don’t want you to spare a thought for me here I really couldn’t give a damn To what you really think of me or who I really am This is my space so please get out I don’t need you in here to tell me what you think about that This is the place I need to be A million miles away from anyone or anything This is my space so let me be Turn round and walk away don’t spare another thought for me I need some time to work it out Some peace and quiet from all the things that we have talked about

LOVE IN DEAD PLACES I’m underneath an Autumn moon Looking at the stars Talking here beside you Time flies You listen so intently Never pouring scorn On anything I have to say You’re special I can tell you anything You will understand No-one listens like you ...No-one could Love in Dead Places I’m shattered by your silence I’m humbled by your calm Never thought I feel this Some day Silently you’re waiting To recognise the fear That nothing lasts forever Nothing can.... 06.05.12

I have my feelings on certain things in life You have your issues and you can’t sync in with mine We sail together into future trials of life Loving each other but testing all the time Who’s first to give in is it me or is it you Who will show weakness and give up what they do? You say yes, and I say no What’s the rush in coming to blows I say yes and you say no What’s the point we live in parallels? You say yes and I say no In years to come we’ll smile and laugh aloud I say yes and you say no Here and now there’s just nowhere to go Take off and run now and you know you’ll lose your stance Be strong and stand still and show them who’s gonna dance Watching and waiting for the sound of stamping feet Control is broken and the argument begins

All About Us 06:07
When it all comes down to us it’s all perception Do we really control everything we do at all? In the finer moments we seem so attracted But in the darker times it’s hard to find our souls.... Slowly now – look at us Spiralling imagining – we’re joining to our hearts Now It’s all about us – and the way we relate Now its time to be honest with our points of view And give our lives a break It’s not about me And it’s not about you It’s all about the way that we manipulate each other’s point of view Would you really think of me the same way with my guard down Could you really hold on to my heart the way you do? Fall in love – rise above Conditioning – your being – and never fall apart Now it’s all about us And the way we relate This is not about the sacrifice of human kind Or ideology It’s not about me And it’s not about you It’s all about the way that we manipulate each other’s point of view It’s not about you And its not about me Its all about the lessons learned, the feelings burned And build on what we see The answers lie inside of me Being brave and digging deep Lessons repeat til they’re learned No place better being here to change
9.
Forgive You 04:18
FORGIVE YOU We all have ghosts and things that choke The life out of our cause We live in lies in paradise And hide behind the truth I will forgive you – I will forgive you But don’t except a second chance – I’m through with taking more I will forgive you – Yeah I’ll forgive you But get up from your bended knee and leave me well alone Never could say exactly what went on I feel for you – the shame on you Better you leave and work at what was wrong And do some good for someone else You never meant to be so cruel It’s just the way it was I can’t sit here and judge mistakes When I’m no perfect saint I will forgive you – I will forgive you But there’s no chance of anything being quite the same again I will forgive you – Yeah I’ll forgive you I wish I had the upper hand to proudly walk away Pain – sinking in slowly now I loved you – you loved me – it was simple Want to be there – rewind it – go find it – return

Safe Hands 07:59
SAFE HANDS Here behind the backdrops of everything you do Watching oh so proudly the life that you’ve pulled through You’re taking off and leaving me in no doubt Despite the problems we’ve pulled though and I’m proud A pair of safe hands round you Surrounding all the work you do Oh thats my boy Rising from the shadows and proving you are you Making your decisions with one that I approve I’m looking and I’m listening in no doubt That you are carrying on the great big shout You’ve got it running through your veins I miss the chance to do the same now Oh - thats my boy Oh – thats my boy INSTRUMENTAL Choosing the directions following the stars Sailing round the world again contact from afar I’m looking and I’m listening in no doubt Of everything I feel for you – I’m proud A pair of safe hands round you Surrounding all the work you do Oh thats my boy
