The day you found me in a lifeboat I fell to pieces on the dive home I felt a feeling when you'd look at me Look at me like that Made me feel more than just a side hoe The day you found me in a Lifeboat like a damsel in distress Thanks for coming 'round for dinner Folding up my sofa bed And don't apologize, I know you had to head You've done so much for me Overachieved And I can keep you on the keep out Keep you up while I put the loo seat down And I've always got your number on the speed dial Like I did when we still had speed dial The day you found me in a lifeboat I fell to pieces on the dive home I felt a feeling when you'd look at me Look at me like that Made me feel more than just a side hoe The day you found me in a Backseat, yeah, in gobble de gook And nonsense Guess I was born at wrong and I've been wrong since It's game over, the PS2 is frozen I pass the controller I'm slipping out of conscience Not all superheroes wear capes Not everyday it gets repaid I try, I try but I can't get through There's more to life than survival Found something to die for You pick me up from arrivals Said, "Mate, don't you wanna go home?" There's more to life than survival Found something to die for You pick me up from arrivals Said, "Mate, don't you wanna go home?" The day you found me in a lifeboat I fell to pieces on the dive home I felt a feeling when you'd look at me Look at me like that Made me feel more than just a side hoe The day you found me in a

I float in a boat In a raging black ocean, low in the water And nowhere to go The tiniest lifeboat With people I know Cold, clammy, and crowded The people smell desperate We'll sink any minute So someone must go The tiniest lifeboat With people I know Everyone's pushing, everyone's fighting Storms are approaching, there's nowhere to hide If I say the wrong thing, or I wear the wrong outfit They'll throw me right over the side I'm hugging my knees And the captain is pointing Well, who made her captain? Still, the weakest must go The tiniest lifeboat Full of people I know The tiniest lifeboat Full of people I know

Chorus: Remember December fifty-nine The howling wind and the driving rain Remember the gallant men who drowned On the lifeboat, Mona was her name The wind it blows and the sea roars up Beats the land with mighty waves At St.Andrew's Bay the lightship fought The sea until her moorings gave Chorus, The captain signalled to the shore 'We must have help or we'll go down' From Broughty Ferry at two a.m. They sent The Lifeboat Mona Chorus, Eight men formed that gallant crew They set their boat against the main The wind's so hard and the sea's so rough We'll never see land or home again Chorus, Three hours went by and the Mona called The winds blow hard and the seas run high In the morning on Carnusty Beach The Mona and her crew did lie Chorus, Five lay drowned in the kelp there Two were washed up on the shore Eight men died when the boat capsized And the eighth is lost forever more Chorus, Remember December fifty-nine The howling wind and the driving rain The men who leave the land behind And the men who never see land again Remember December fifty-nine The howling wind and the driving rain The men who leave the land behind And the men who never see land again

Race records Disintegrate with me I'll take the angel's share The clock hands Sweeping up the dust Sweeping stars from my ceiling You smile With your piano teeth So let light have the hour Hello wasteland Stasis stay sis Two fingers Escapist pills And when they all woke up It was the sixties This lightship isn't light enough Coming down Two fingers This lightship isn't light enough This lightship isn't light enough

Your light It radiates But the shadows are so long I never thought That the bleeding would go on I am here I am here I've been here I've always been here Reaching forward No No styptic sweep Of the minute hand The hour glass It only filled With the quickest sand I am here I am here I've been here I've always been here Reaching forward I gave you everything But I couldn't give you my life

Why do canaries sing In the darkest mine? Even when no light is due At any time? I know why And so do you Even in the black Down in the darkest shade Their jaws are never slack How do they serenade? I know how And so do you Your touch feels like sunshine on my soul Puts the planets on my wall Someone special Why do canaries sing In the darkest mine? Even when things are so fucked up Most of the time? Even in the bitter black Or in the sharpest shade How do they sing their songs But never pull the blade? I know how And so do you Your smile Like music Your smile Is like music to me Your touch feels just like sunshine on my soul Puts the stars up on my wall Someone special

Brightest day, my dear Let's wake up slowly, keep sleeping dogs near We've got no better place to be Let's lie in drowsy weeds You wear a crown of waves A forest of hair with briar that frames You kill clocks and time obeys Hoping to see tomorrow Scatter your wolves afield Dull all the knives and heal So good to see you feeling Alright

'Good God' she said 'Just look at them preen' 'Good God' I said 'I prefer the edge of the scene' Where you can choose just to use A little tiny fuse when you light it Oh yeah It isn't all or nothing so please don't fight it Yeah Somebody please offer me a contract So I can turn it down Learning to reject your ways Is how I found my precious sound Every time in my mind I paint outside the lines until I hear What I see But listen well coz I can tell when it's just not really me But listen well coz I can tell when it's just not really Me Fake it till you make it That which doesn't kill us Makes us weak That which doesn't thrill us Makes us tweak That which doesn't fill us Makes us meek That which doesn't bill us Helps us sleep It isn't all or nothing so please don't fight it - yeah It isn't all or nothing so please don't fight it - yeah Fake it till you make it When your high hopes fall down Fake it till you make it When your soul kite hits the ground Fake it till you make it When you can't find the right sound Fake it till you make it

No tears right now Turn off the spigot in your head Blow me up This life that I lead Watch the pieces fly Above everybody's head You think that I was heavy Maybe you were Miss Lead My heart will still pulse It's in the sound of all these notes Open the creaking door And sweep out all my ghosts Or let them rise through the skylight To pay the ransom that I owe I was feeling weighed down But by nothing save gold My brothers and my sisters The trap door is sprung Explode my weary soul This human race is now run The pieces flew apart And in the tall trees they hung Look out below There's a splinter in the sun I dragged myself up Propped against your shoulder To see you again Well it got harder as I got older Just about a 100 miles And slightly across the border The light in your yard Illuminates me, drawn and quartered Well I pulled myself up Shored against your shoulder To see you again Well it got easier as I got older Just about a 1000 miles And way out past the border The light in your eyes Well it brightened my search for order
