You said you'd write me a letter
about the feelings you had for me.
You said you'd sign it with a kiss
and scent it with the perfume that I still miss
but I ain't seen nothing of the kind.
But I feel alive, for the first time in my life.
And I won't be duped, I won't fall for the same trick twice,
I won't do nothing of the kind.
My mind is on the dark side, there's people on the street,
underground faces that I really want to meet
There's a world out there and I want to go
I need to forget everything I know
Let's go
You told me you love me, and I digested every word
Now it eats my insides, yeah it turns me into dirt,
don't believe nothing of the kind
My mind is on the dark side, there's lead in my feet,
my body won't keep to the 4/4 beat.
There's a world out there and I want to go,
I need to forget everything I know,
let's go, let's go, I want to see my dark side grow,
let's go, let's go, I need to forget everything I know,
let's go..
There's men on the dark side, women on the street,
there's underground faces that I really want to meet,
There's a world out there but I'm feeling scared,
my mind is on the run but my body's prepared.
Let's go.

The Hope

Walk the boards where my ancestors came
do you feel we look the same?
Sit on the grass where my grandfather lies
look at the house on which we rely
This is the place where my daddy will rest,
how many of us will be left to watch the saplings grow? Nobody knows.
Run your eyes through my father's lines
those lines paint a picture of a happier time
A horse-drawn cart is sat in the yard
there's a tumbler of whisky and a packet of cards
This is where I want to end my days
the history here, it's in my veins,
It's all I know,
'cause it's my home.
It's all I know.
'cause it's my home.
Walk the boards where my ancestors came
do you feel we look the same?
Sit on the grass where my grandfather lies
look at the house on which we rely,
This is where I want to end my days
the history here, it's in my veins,
It's all I know,
'cause it's my home.

Slow It Down

What you want to do, what you want to do today?
I'm not waiting for you, I'm not waiting no,
Tell me what you need, tell me what you need from me,
I'm not a mind reader, I don't read minds.
I need to escape from the city,
It's killing me,
I need to escape from the city
I need to breathe,
Slow it down.
Give me some country, give me some country air,
I can see what I'm saying, it makes you scared.
Give me some silence, the silence is what I crave,
Why do these feelings inside me misbehave?
I need to escape from the city,
It's killing me,
I need to escape from the city
I need to breathe
I'm fiddling away wasting my days I need to run and need to run.
I'm fiddling away wasting my days I need to run

Breathe

Is this the life that you thought you would lead?
Do you possess all your wants and needs?
Is the nine-to-five all it's cracked up to be?
Why don't you want to come here with me?
Well just go
You can leave
Well just go
Then breathe
You've got to breathe
Slow it down
Hear your own heart
Is this the way you want to play your part?
Give yourself a second, stand tall, stand still.
As the people move around you are they making you feel ill?
'Cause every little rat, well he's out there for himself,
Paying no regard to anybody else,
Well just go, you can leave.
I left.
I can breathe.
Yes, I can breathe.
