We only get one life you know
We write our own story
And you must find your way
Like me
And if you leave behind
The search for power, fame and glory
I think you'll find
All we need is to be free

Seven Roses
02:30

She met him on the internet
And they just started dating
He took her out for dinner
And he didn't keep her waiting
He didn't give her roses
He didn't give her seven
He showed to her a signpost
It said 'Come this way to Heaven'
She started down that road
Not knowing things would not go well
It was an unrestricted motorway
She was headed straight for Hell
No exits were available
There were no u-turns through the central reservation
She sped on through the night
With only him and his dark soul for conversation
Luckily she was driving
And her car had an ejector seat
She pushed the button and off he went
Into the upper atmosphere
And she drove on
She found someone
They lived happily ever after
Coz he loved her
And she loved him
They walked into the sunset holding hands
Holding hands holding hands holding hands
He had seven roses

Sorry I Had To Block You

Sorry I had to block you
But the sight of you was doing my head in
I know how much it must've shocked you
But I knew that we would never ever ever have a wedding
And you're hot
Hot property
You're hot
Hot stuff
Hot as molten magma
Hot
Hot property
But it was doing my head in
And I didn't need the aggro
Sorry I had to block you
But the sight of you was doing my head in
I know how much it must've shocked you
But I knew that we would never ever ever have a wedding
And you're hot
Hot property
You're hot
Hot stuff
Twice as hot as hellfire
Hot
Hot property
I'm gonna burn burn burn burn burn burn burn burn burn

Still Water

Reflections of blue sky hide deep water
Reflections of blue sky high over me
Reflections of blue sky hide deep water
There's so much more than we can see
This life is given on a plate
It's there for the taking
But you'd better not be late
This life, it won't come round again
You better get back on the merry-go-round
My friend
Reflections of blue sky hide deep water
Reflections of blue sky high over me
Reflections of blue sky hide deep water
There's so much more than we can see

Turning The Lights Out
04:09

When our love began it shone so bright
It was all I ever wanted, how you held and kept me warm at night
We'd talk and make our fabulous plans
How were we to know we were completely and utterly damned ?
Oh I really love to see you smile
But whenever you see me it feels like all you do is frown
Like you'd really rather run a mile
Well maybe that's a good idea, coz it's getting us both down
Don't wanna be with you no more
I'm turning the lights out, I know I'm gonna run away
I'm turning the lights out
I tried to find out who you are inside
But whenever I ask you, you turn away from me and hide
And you say that I just don't care
But whenever I try to you act just like there's no-one there
I can't give you what you deserve
Can't seem to give you anything you need
I've got nothing left in reserve
I'm stuck in reverse, can't even get that gear up to speed
Stuck in reverse, can't even get that gear up to speed
Don't wanna be with you no more etc
