Miles Is A Cigarette

The weak and hazy shades of winter sun
Come shining through
Lifting fog from the trees and a gentle warm breeze
Send it up in to the blue

Blue sky and you come creeping through my soul
Goodbye our love's smoking too
And the sound of those Italian engines
Is much more the sound of you

Miles was a cigarette smoky and long
Gonna miss what I never had
Now that cigarette is gone

Miss Your Kiss

I've been everywhere, looking for an answer
I've been in and out, of every place in town
I've been checking out, looking for a reason
I just can't seem to work it out, which every way I choose
Oh I've been missing you
I'm missing you

I miss your kiss
I miss your touch
Can't get used to it baby
I miss you so much
I'm missing you

Mississippi

Nashville sky, in the morning sun
Somewhere up north, a new life begun
He was drawn to the twister, with a Memphis sound
Kissed by an Angel, of a music town.

Jump a train from Chicago, trace it back
With the neck of a bottle, and the groove of the tracks
Spend your life running, that Angels sweet sound
Chasing the ghosts, of a faraway town.

Oh Mississippi, running through my veins
Oh Mississippi, never the same again.

New Times Square

I'll see you round about midnight
You know I won't be late
Let's dive into this crap house
And truth hell have to wait

The truth of what has gone before
Lies bleeding on the floor
The only truth remaining still
Is that truth don't matter anymore

So meet me round about midnight
I won't let you down I swear
We'll hang on to each other
Down at the new Times Square

It seems that we can't run from this
No matter how we try
There's nothing here worth keeping
So let's kiss it all goodbye

Tell me what's worth keeping anyway
It doesn't seem to matter
What we do or what we say
Everything we had
They have now taken it all away
The truth don't matter anymore

New Way

I go to work in a bubble
I got everything I need
I get so high on no trouble
It's a great feeling, being free

I say a prayer at thanksgiving
I bless the night and the day
I look up to the sky with a smile on my face
And I praise the lord of the new way

The sweetest sound I ever knew
Was the sound of reason falling
Like the summer rain
And the truth washed the pain away
New way

I don't watch tv anymore
Don't need to see it now we all know the score
And all the politicians know what they're there for
It's a new way
New way

No Qualifications

Now he wanted to fly all those big aeroplanes
Trans-continental and back home again
But his brain, it was grounded
His head could not cope
No qualifications, no reasons for hope

They told him the right way to fasten his tie
Beat him for laughing and never said why
They left his for dead when the results came through
And still never asked what he wanted to do

No qualifications so late in the day
We've screwed you up, well, now you make your own way

Now to label your trousers and label your shoes
If you don't wear nothing then label that too

No qualifications, you are the time born
If you wanna succeed you better get some qualifications
So late in the day
We've screwed you up, well, now you make your own way

Nothing To Fear

I feel your heat in dusty whispers
The wind is cold around your moon
It's getting hard to keep our distance
I know your time is coming soon
Don't point your dream on my horizon
Don't take your rose too far from home
Please don't forget we're not each other
Each soul has black thorns of his own

I see you dancing
Your song is clear
You've got to show me, got to show me
There's nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
I have my loved ones you have yours
So let us gaze upon the feast
In God's own name let's eat together
In God's own name please come in peace
See how our children play together
While you and me we stand alone
I know we'll never be each other
If I leave you leave me alone

I see you dancing
Your song is clear
You've got to show me, got to show me
There's nothing to fear
Nothing to fear

Nothing's Happening By The Sea

Salty river
Falls asleep in the bay
Always gets there
Never early, never late

Nothing's happening
Nothing's happening by the sea

White waves tumble down
And gently roll back into blue
On wooden seats outside the bar
The couples make their rendezvous

Nothing's happening
Nothing's happening by the sea

The trouble has been found
There's too far ups and too many downs
I found a level that feels just right
There's no mistaking where I'm going tonight

Nothing's happening
Nothing's happening by the sea

On The Beach

Between the eyes of love I call your name
Behind the guarded walls I used to go
Upon a summer wind there's a certain melody
Takes me back to the place that I know
Down on the beach

The secrets of the summer I will keep
The sands of time will blow a mystery
No-one but you and I
Underneath that moonlit sky
Take me back to the place that I know
On the beach

Forever in my dreams my heart will be
Hanging on to this sweet memory
A day of strange desire
And a night that burned like fire
Take me back to the place that I know
On the beach

One Fine Day

She's standing by the waterside, she's waiting for her man
On the evening wind, she hears the whistle blow
It's coming from the factory, she hears it every day
Her soft cheeks flush, he's on his way

They're going where the sun is shining
They're going for that silver lining
They're gonna work and make it pay

And she say 'mmm, well, one fine day
Spread those wings, fly away'
Now i don't lie, no, cold wind and rain
Gonna sail away one fine day

Now hope, it springs eternally
At least that's what they say
Boy, it gets hard to feel that way

When he sees his little darling hide
The tear with a smile
He say 'come here baby, now don't you cry'
