They say money makes the world go round But it's got me, got me like a puppeteer Day in, day out, day in, day out Back to grindstone, back to grindstone Back to the grindstone I've looked to the sky so many times Yeah I've looked to the sky so many times Wish I could fly high and never come down Wish I could fly high Day in, day out, day in. day out Back to grindstone, back to grindstone Back to the grindstone

Trust 03:41
Who can I trust Who can I trust Show your true colours Just show your true colours... They say all is fair in love and war But I'm not sure Who I can trust Who can I trust Show your true colours... I see different colours around me She's red, he's green, they're blue Oh who can I trust... Show your true colours... Trust, trust...

Digging Deep 02:40
It's hard standing on your own two feet When there's no one you can turn to It's hard standing on your own two feet When there's no one to support you I keep digging deep I keep digging deep It's hard standing on your own two feet Cause the streets aren't paved with gold It's hard standing on your own two feet When no one wants to know I keep digging deep I keep digging deep

Just a week has passed and now it seems the summer has gone Walking round these streets in the pouring rain I'm just waiting for the sun to come again Seems like you just walked through the door, now you've got to go I wish you didn't have to leave so soon I'll be counting down the days 'til I see you again I'll be counting down the days, just counting down the days Walked passed the place where I sat with you If I could turn back time I'd still be, there with you But for every choice you make there's a price to pay Just a week has passed and now it seems the summer has gone Just a week has passed and I wonder where the time has gone...

I need some uplifting I need someone or something Just to see me through the day Inside there's a light It's what I've got to find For the life of me Another numbered day Another numbered day I need some uplifting... Forget and numb the pain Forget and numb the pain All bottled up inside A splinter in my mind I need some uplifting... Inside there's a light of day That's what I've got to find For the life of me For the life of me For the life of me For the life of me I gotta get away Just to see me through the day I gotta get away Forget and numb the pain I need some uplifting...

It's true what they say Well it is for me Cause I've been dreaming of making love To every girl I see Wow It's the way they dress It's the way they move It really does it for me It really does it for me And I know you know That you're every bit a woman cause when you're walking down the street Yeah your body language speaks Wow It's the way you dress It's the way you move It really does it for me It really does for me You got me so turned on You give me visions of love You got me so turned on You could rule my world, baby It's the way you dress It's the way you move It really does it for me It really does it for me I really really love The way your body curves

Hey you How you doing? Are you ok? There's people like you, people like me Running around chasing a dream I'll introduce myself I've been feeling like the loneliest man in the world A stranger I've been here for years We walk in parallel Awash with people like us And I know you're a bit like me How was I suppose to know This city could be so cold So far from those I know and love The days seem bought and sold Sometimes I feel without a friend These feelings I store unheard If it's just a passing phase Then why do I feel like the loneliest man in the world? Feeling this low There's a place I'll go I hope you show If you show You'll never know I've been feeling like the loneliest man in the world I'll introduce myself I've been feeling like the loneliest man in the world The loneliest man in the world The loneliest man in the world

Long Lost 03:22
As I walk along this lonely street All I see and all I feel, Is everything I miss and everything I've lost, Now you're gone As I walk along this lonely street All these feelings that I'd locked away, Now they're coming back, To haunt me My long lost lover, my long lost friend I long for you My long lost lover, my long lost friend I long for you As I walk along this lonely street I should be banging on your door Down on my knees But you don't live there anymore My long lost over, my long lost friend I long for you... I long for you... As I walk along this lonely street Don't wanna go home to an empty house Don't wanna lie awake In that empty bed tonight My long lost lover, my long lost friend I long for you... I long for you...

I don't know what to say Don't know what moves I should make any more And in the space between you and me, The bridge is falling down It's falling down Falling down Oh what happened to you and me What happened to you and me... We should be closer When I see you now I feel so insecure, I feel so incomplete Cause I don't know where I stand When the barriers are so cold You're so cold you're so cold Oh what happened to you and me What happened to to you and me... We should be closer We sholud be closer We should be closer... Oh what happened to you and me...

Walking Home 05:35
Walking home it's 5 in the morning I love it when the streets are deserted Coming back from another dimension Yeah I'm still high and wasted Reflecting on times gone Of inner peace and happiness A feeling I've tried to recapture, All my life On a voyage of discovery To feel that way eternally From up here I've got nothing to fear From up hear everything is clear Got out of bed in the afternoon And picked up where I left off Caught a tube, due east Sitting here I'm just people watching Watching where the messed up homeless meet, At the bottom of a downward spiral I wonder what drove them to this place If it happened them, could it happen to me? Oh from up here I've got nothing to fear From up here everything is clear Always try to keep an open mind As big questions still turn in my mind For everything I have seen The answers are forever lost in my dreams From up here I've got nothing to fear From up here everything is clear Fate, destiny, chance, karma The past, the future and where I am right now Never saw this coming But I felt the tables turning Saved myself for someone like you Never made love this good And lying here I've got nothing to fear Lying hear everything is clear Oh from up here I've got nothing to fear From up here everything is clear...
