Sheep No.29 (free) 02:49
Most of the sheep on this hill will toe the line. But I can’t get a hold on number 29. She will try to buck the trend And find a way right out of this pen (but) She ends up right back in the lions’ den. Hello my old friend Seems we are condemned To forever burn Ewe and I will never, ever learn. All of your plans can come undone With a lack of vision and a slip of the tongue A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the wisest men (but) Only a fool would do it again and again. Hello my old friend Seems we are condemned To forever burn Ewe and I will never, ever learn.

Green Arrow 02:46
She took my heart to the wreckers She knew a guy there It left me chilled to the marrow Looks like the cat caught a sparrow And I'm still waiting on a green arrow She told me all kinds of things She told me she cared But her promises, they were shallow Just a goodbye and a hello And I'm still waiting on a green arrow (CHORUS) Green, green Green, green I'm waiting on, I'm waiting on a green arro - ow Green, green Green, green I'm waiting on, I'm waiting on a green arro - ow Bright lights in the city Sirens and stares I'll keep on pushing my barrow Keep it on the straight and the narrow And I'm still waiting on a green arrow (CHORUS)

The Starling 04:16
I envy the starling - gregarious and charming Beautiful, fancy and free. A sweet murmuration in coordination You murmur sweet nothings to me, and….. Oooooo you come and go Drifting to and fro on the wind. Ooooo I love you so As you ebb and flow with your wings. You rise like a phoenix, swarm in a helix Spiralling round as you fly. Birds of a feather, flocking together And painting shapes in the sky. Oooooo you come and go Drifting to and fro on the breeze. Whoooooo could ever know How you ebb and flow with such ease? Oh to be so interconnected And lost in it all Oh to feel so calm and collected As empires rise and fall. Listen my darling, be like the starling And spread your wings

One Like You 01:57
Looking at the facts but the case is thin when you look at all the reptiles I let in warnings written ten foot tall you'd think I got no judgement at all but then how did I end up with one like you Hangin' round Preston town, living in a loose end dressing gown and a mind permanently unmade locked up tight and so afraid But I was dreaming of one like you Slept in a little while toes peeking out and they made me smile outran the black dog blues I crossed the ocean to hit snooze and lie here in Taichung with you

Puli Blues (free) 03:29
Woke up this morning to a mountain view This town is really something but it’s nothing without you Well I know I drove you crazy and you drove me crazy too. But now I’m driving nowhere with these Puli blues. This town is so pretty but I feel so ugly inside. I’m down here in this basin and I wanna be high. Everybody’s paragliding up in the sky But I’m feeling so low that I wanna cry… I got the Puli blues Well I can’t get the memories out of my head I got too many bedrooms and a double bed I need someone to hold me its been nearly a year I got 2 pussy cats but there aint no pussy in here If my heart is so big then why I feel so small? I’m surrounded by butterflies but I’m a fly on the wall. Someone give me something to make me tall. Don’t ask me how I’m feeling I feel nothin’ at all.

Lose Your Mind (free) 03:12
When you're young you'll find just cos someone makes you lose your mind doesn't mean they'll lose theirs doesn't mean they'll lose theirs for you and it's a common fear when you are alone you'll disappear and who you are is just what people hear you say and see you do (CHORUS) Alright, alright habits form you, routine sets inside inside, inside watch the one that watches in your mind coming to a pass die for a word, don't dare to ask maybe she'll say something something that will pierce you through something that you did force of habit not so easily hid do you think she made a note in her big black book about you? (CHORUS)
7.
I Forget (free) 02:48
I had a first lover and a love bigger than any other I remember her brand of cigarette but as for her touch... I forget The past used to be a splinter I prodded and poked with a tweezer For her I once cried tears of regret now my eyes are dry... I forget I forget (Chorus) Well I'm livin' here in the future you're not missing anything it wouldn't suit ya it's just a broken picture on my TV set and when I think of you I forget I forget (Chorus repeats)
8.
Close your eyes, turn out the light. There’s no-one that can hurt you tonight That voice in your head, the ghosts of your past, All of your demons are tied to the mast. When we kiss, we make sparks. Remember this when it gets dark. Throw down your arms, turn off your mind Leave all your devils and monsters behind The shadows are gone, the phantoms are dead There are no skeletons under your bed. When we kiss, we make sparks. Remember this when it gets dark.

There is a man, he gets what he wants he gets it because he know what he wants and he finds it there is a trick- stick a thought in your head when you think it is dead it's there breeding under the surface (Chorus) Ahhhh You know what you are the past is a-real alright I met a man, traveled east and west but to him the best thing he saw was his own reflection I met a man, in one place he remained but the reach of his brain it covered all of the world's surface (Chorus)
