These Are The Days

These are the days
These are the days
These are the days I'm sure we'll look back on again
We'll say, 'Do you remember when?',
And, look, we're living them right now
These are the days I'm sure have always lain ahead
If we'd have had our future read
Well we'd have seen ourselves right now
I love you with my heart
and with my liver and my lungs
Oh yes, I love you with my marrow and my bone
While my blood still flows and my hair still grows
My mouth won't close, and my teeth and tongue
Will tell what love has shown
These are the days...
And even when the darkness creeps
And covers up my eyes
Try my best I just can't seem to figure out
The who, the what, the why, the when
The where, the which, the how, I know now
There can be no doubt
These are the days...
A blaze is spaked by the friction of the rhythm
And these are the days, so let's be glad to live 'em
These are the days...

Take It Easy Max
03:22

You never really pushed yourself, your way was always paid
You've lived a life of luxury, a jack of no trade
Avoiding all commitment in the name of liberation
You never considered that freedom can be found in limitation
And like a bird from these prison walls you could fly
But the wings your father gave you were not made to go so high
Take it easy, Max
The wax has started dripping down your shoulder blades
And now your aperture is open and your shutter speed is slow
You'll never be in focus as you're always on the go
You're lit up like a candle, you're blown out with a wish
You're getting hard to handle now you're drinking like a fish
Take it easy, Max
The wax has started dripping down your shoulder blades
You've been heading for disaster since you let the devil drive
You're driven to distaction it's a miracle you're alive
You get dependant on your gadgets and you get lost in a glitch
Hit an unexpected learning curve and skid into the ditch
Take it easy, Max
The wax has started dripping down your shoulder blades
Maybe you don't realise, or don't pay it any mind
All the hearts you've claimed and bruised and stained and simply left behind
Now the velvet eyes of girls have hardened into looks of scorn
You just can't keep asking them to ride your unicorn
Take it easy, Max
The wax has started dripping down your shoulder blades
Now your flame of youth has dwindled, through the embers you're poking
You've mastered nothing other than the dying art of smoking
The world has been your stage but as the fat lady sings
The gods have gone elsewhere and trouble's waiting in the wings
Take it easy, Max
The wax has started dripping down your shoulder blades

Slipping Away

Slipping away
Come on, my love, we're slipping away
Look how the time is slipping away
We'd never have thought it yesterday
That we'd be slipping away
Come on, my love, we're slipping away
Look how the time is slipping away
We won't be here by the end of the day
But don't pack your suitcase
You won't need it there
It might feel unfinished
But it's only fair
Let's toast to old friends
We won't see again
Let's raise our glasses
And sing our refrain
Time is drip-drip-dripping out the bottom of the clock
Those that haven't realised will be in for a shock
There'll never come a point when we've got nothing left to say
But everything it its due course is slip-slip-slipping away

Think Again
06:10
|

If you think I'm gonna leave you,
Think again
I know you worry, sometimes you doubt
Think someday I'm sure to pack my bags and walk on out
Maybe I'm a little tough, don't I show you enough?
For all that I am lacking, I hope you'll never feel without
I know your first lover left you, first loves always do
How else could we be certain when we've found somebody true?
The world is full of broken hearts, scattered pieces, missing parts
But our rough edges fit so well, let's get some superglue
If you think I'm gonna leave you,
Think again
There'll still be trouble, we can't stop a thunderstorm
The devil moves amongst us, his blunders to perform
There'll be time enough for weeping
Our time together is for keeping
Let it rain, bring howling winter
I will keep you warm
If you've already poured yourself a drink
Don't make it double, make it two
Because tonight I will be staying here with you
You don't need to drown your sorrows
We can toast our tomorrows
Because I love you, through and through
Think again, think twice
If you're still unsure, go on and think thrice!
I never wish to be parted, with you I'm wholehearted
I'm yours, flaws and all
So remember this when you think
That I might leave you,
And then think again

The Past Continuous
04:16
|

|
We're not as young as we tend to think
An elegy in every blink
We have our moments and our memories
But ourselves we never can please
We're not as old as we like to suggest
I wouldn't dare deny we've been blessed
The past is continuous, we were so sure
The future simple, we will be no more
I thought that we would never change
What felt so sure now seems so strange
The moments were passing and so were the
Hours, days, weeks, months, years
A photograph of a place we called home
There's so much more than this monochrome
The smell of the morning, the taste of the sky
You singing As Time Goes By
And so it went, and our love was tried
No matter what, we did and it died
It's the same old story we receive
It's one we don't want to believe
I thought that you would never change
What felt so sure now seems so strange
The moments are passing and so are the
Hours, days, weeks, months, years
All the dreams that we had
Do you think they can still come true?
All the hope that we held
How little we knew
And how much less we know now
But I thought that I would never change
What felt so sure now seems so strange
The moments will pass and so will the
Hours, days, weeks, months, years

If We Meet Again
03:27

If we meet again, you can bet we’ll both be older
You can tell your stories and I will tell you mine
If we meet again, we can talk about it
If we meet again further down the line
Yes I sure am sorry that you’re leaving
But I understand you’ve got to go
I guess it’s best that we all keep on moving
Exactly what’s to come we’ll never know
If we meet again...
Having you around has been terrific
Everyone will miss you very much
I wish you all the best in everything that’s coming up
Promise me you’ll try and stay in touch
If we meet again...
I wonder if you’ll ever be returning?
That will be a celebration day
Even though you have been quite determined
That you will be staying well away
If we meet again...
But if you change your mind
And decide that you’ll come back again
Yes, if you change your mind
Well, I won’t mind
No, I won’t mind
Not one little bit!
If we meet again...

When You Ain't Satisfied

You can make it how you want
Yea, you can make it how you want
So when I say go get what you want
Then go boys, get what you want
But don't come crying to me
When you ain't satisfied
You can get your head down if you want
You can get your head down when you want
And you can let your hair down if you want
You can let your hair down whenever you want
But don't come crying to me
When you ain't satisfied
You can love who you want
Yea you can love whoever you want
And you can leave if you want to
So go on and leave when you want
But don't come crying to me
When you ain't satisfied
You can go if you want
Yea you can go whenever you want
And you can come home if you want to
Come home whenever you want
But don't come crying to me
When you ain't satisfied
You can make it how you want
Yea, you can make it how you want
So when I say go get what you want
Then go girl, get what you want
But don't come crying to me
When you ain't satisfied
