Track Name: Call Off The Search
Well you can call off the search.
Call off the search
Because I don't want to be found.
Call off the search,
Call off the search
Because I don't want to be found.

Well I can make it on my own right now.
I've worked out how I can live without you.
You never took the time to get to know me,
You didn't show me you cared.

So now you say you want to come and find me,
After I put you behind me.
You'll always be a line in my history
But right now the narrative's mine.

See I can make it on my own.
I can make it on my own.
I can make it on my own.
I can make it on my own.

So you can call off the search.
Call off the search
Because I, I, I, I don't want to be found.
Call off the search.
Call off the search
Because I don't want to be found.
No I don't want to be found.
I don't want to be found.
Track Name: Fashion Photographer
Trying to hide she finds it hard to walk,
Struggling in the shoes that she's just bought;
The ones that she couldn't really afford,
"But hey," she thought "that's what credit cards are for".

Then a man approaches with a smile.
He says, "Could I please talk to you for a while
Because I really like your style.
I am a Fashion Photographer!
Take my card and I'll turn you into a star."

Du wup badada, du wup badada
Du wup badadada
Du wup badada, du wup badada
Du wup badadada.

Sat in the pub across the street
Her boyfriend's waiting for her patiently.
He anticipates she will be late (fashionably late)
Cause she's the kind of girl who likes to make you wait.
But he says "This time it's clear to see
I love her and I know that she loves me."
But she's already forgotten he,
Cause she's met a Fashion Photographer
Who said that he'd turn you into a star.

You see how easily
They allow themselves to be deceived,
Believing what they wanted to believe,
Seeing only what they want to see.

Well she didn't make it, not this time.
But she says she's never gonna stop trying.
To celebrate she's gonna buy herself
A pair of shoes with her expected future wealth.
Her boyfriend didn't take her back
Because his new girlfriend loves him and that is a fact!
At least that’s what he tells himself.

Du wup badada, du wup badada etc.
Track Name: I'm Not Gonna Change
You want to be something you're not.
You're never satisfied with what you've got.
But when you look in the mirror
You see yourself standing there.
That's all you can deliver,
No matter how hard you stare.
So I'm not gonna change.
I'm not gonna change.
No I'm not gonna change for you.

I once thought I wanted to be
Just like you but now I disagree,
Cause when rain sparkles through grey skies
You hide your head and run.
I walk between the raindrops
Until I find the sun.
So I'm not gonna change.
I'm not gonna change.
No I'm not gonna change for you.

I'm not gonna change etc.
Track Name: Marie
"Oh Lord,
I don't understand.
Oh Lord,
Please take my hand
And lead me far away
Because I can't stay
Where I am."

There were so many things
He loved about Marie.
So many things that made them disagree.
He hated overhearing words
She whispered, hoping God had heard,
When once upon a time she'd worshipped him.
But now every night Marie would sit and pray
And in her prayers he would hear her say,

"Oh Lord,
I don't understand.
Oh Lord,
Please take my hand
And lead me far away
Because I can't stay
Where I am."

He hated overhearing words
She whispered, hoping God had heard.
So he told her, "God is just a fantasy!"
He hadn't meant it to be cruel
But when she cried she looked beautiful.
Just like before when she'd belonged to him.
But now every night Marie would sit and pray
And in her prayers he would hear her say,

"Oh Lord,
I don't understand.
Oh Lord,
Please take my hand
And lead me far away
Because I can't stay
Where I am."
Track Name: Now That We've Made Up
Today we throw things away.
We don't fix them when they break.
And we treat each other this way.
But, baby, you can't be replaced.

Now that we've made up
There's nothing else, I love you
And I know that is enough.
I never gave up
Because I know you love me
And that's enough for me.
Baby, baby I can't live without you,
I promise now that I never will doubt you
Cause I love everything about you.
Baby it's clear to see,
Now that we've made up
There's nothing else, I love you
And I know that is enough.
I never gave up
Because I know you love me
And that's enough for me.
Baby, baby if you ever leave me
You just have to return to retrieve me
Cause I need you and I know that you need me
Baby, baby I love you ooo....

I said if you ever leave me
You just have to return to retrieve me.

Now that we've made up
There's nothing else, I love you
And I know that is enough.
I never gave up
Because I know you love me
And that's enough for me.
Baby, baby I can't live without you,
I promise that I’ll never doubt you
Cause I love everything about you.
Baby, baby I love you ooo etc.
Track Name: Don't Wait
Don't wait till it's too late because time won't wait for you.
Make no mistake that time will take much more out of you.

Once time is gone, he's gone and there's nothing you can do.
Relentlessly he marches on, with or without you.

Don't wait till it's too late because 'time waits for no man'.
You think he's on your side but he doesn't give a damn.

Don't wait till it's too late because time can be so cruel.
He passes unafraid while you wait like a fool.

Don't wait for fate to tell you what to do.
If fate is also waiting soon you'll find
You've run out of time.

Don't wait till it's too late because time can be so cruel.
He passes unafraid while you wait like a fool.

Don't wait for fate to tell you what to do.
If fate is also waiting soon you'll find
You've run out of time.

Don't wait, don't even hesitate.
Don't wait, don't even hesitate.
Track Name: Man On A Beach
Long ago sits a man on a lonely beach,
Watching the waves as they try to reach
Further than they have before but each,
Each and every day the tide
Leaves the waves’ wishes denied.
The man gets up and just follows his feet.
They only lead him home to his lonely street,
It's full of people that he'll never meet,
'Cause of all the people he's ever known
Still somehow he's all alone.

He turns the key in the creaky door then disappears
Into the house that he has lived in now for years,
And as he starts to make a cup of tea he hears
The jeering of the walls who can
See him for what he is, which is a sad old man
Who dreamed of tomorrow till it became
Today, and he has dreamed his life away,
And now he doesn't recognize his own face
Reflected in his cup of tea,
He says, "I can't believe that old man is me."

And the moon still pulls the tide where e'er it pleases.
And the waves wail and weep as the moon teases,
But the old man seems to find the tide appeases
Those days that he regrets to say
He wishes the waves would wash away.
Long ago a little boy climbed up a tree
Wondering just what his life would be.
He climbed so high the sky was at his feet.
Of all the things that he could have done...
And Lord knows he's not the only one.
Track Name: Bluebells
I saw a sea of bluebells.
They float me away
Back to the days
When we went to the end of your garden,
Down to the patch where the bluebells grew,
And you put them in a vase in the kitchen
After I picked them for you.
It's just something I remember.
I wonder if you do too,
Cause whenever I see bluebells
They make me think of you.
Track Name: What Do You Want
You wanted me.
You were down on your knees
But I didn't know what to say.
So I walked away
But then the next day
I wondered if I'd made a mistake.
And every time that I'm all on my own
I know that I can come back to you.
But every time introspection makes me a fool.
I wish that I could just make up my mind.
What do you want?
What do you want?
I ask myself but I can't seem to find
Peace of mind in my thoughts.
I don't know what I sought.
What do you want?
What do you want?
See I sit around
To make concessions for my bones.
And once again I find myself alone.
So I lead you on
Because I know that's what you want
And maybe I do too
But maybe I don't.
What do you want?
What do you want?
I ask myself but I can't seem to find
Peace of mind in my thoughts.
I don't know what I sought.
What do you want?
What do you want?
I said what do you want?
And I said what do you want?
Cause right now I'm just messing you around
Cause I don't know what I want.
I just don't know what I want,
Or if I'm just looking for what I've already found.
I want to get away but,
But when ever I roam
I just seem to stray
Somewhere close to home.
I watch a skimming stone
As it skips to the unknown.
And I wonder why
I can't be that way.
What do you want?
What do you want?
I ask myself but I can't seem to find
Peace of mind in my thoughts.
I don't know what I sought.
What do you want?
What do you want?
Track Name: You Make Me Smile
I thought I was happy
When no-one really knew me.
But you saw through me
And said that I was empty.
But that just made me smile.

I tried to explain
I didn't want to get to know you
But you said it's too late
Because I already do.
But that just made me smile

But you told me
No-one's ever known you like I do,
That I'm the only one who ever knew
That in a certain light your grey eyes turn blue.

So I admit I was wrong.
I guess I'm glad you came along
Cause you're the only one
Who turns my silence into song
And you always make me smile.

So I say
Now that you've come to my rescue
All that I want is to be with you
Cause only you can make my grey skies turn blue.
Track Name: Don't Leave Me Hanging
Sometimes it seems you believe that your time is worth much more than mine.
I know I'll be waiting for you if I arrive on time.
You could just call me to tell me that you'll be running late
And let me know how much longer you want me to wait.
But you just leave me hanging.
You just leave me hanging.
Stop leaving me hanging on for you!
Don't,
Don't leave me,
Don't leave me hanging.
I said don't,
Don't leave me,
Don't leave me hanging
Cause I want to be hanging around with you.

Why do you say that you'll be there when we both know that you won't?
You want me to trust you but you must know that I don't.
Cause you just leave me hanging.
Please don't leave me hanging.
Stop leaving me hanging on for you.
Don't,
Don't leave me,
Don't leave me hanging.
I said don't,
Don't leave me,
Don't leave me hanging
Cause I want to be hanging around with you.

It's hard sometimes to find stability
And keep your two feet on the ground.
Especially when the one you want to see
Keeps on leaving you hanging around.

Don't,
Don't leave me,
Don't leave me hanging.
I said don't,
Don't leave me,
Don't leave me hanging.
Don't,
Don't leave me,
Don't leave me hanging.
I said don't,
Don't leave me,
Don't leave me hanging
Cause I want to be hanging around with you.
