Disappointed – lyrics

Disappointed

I’ve had a person do me wrong before
I’ve had to learn how to be strong before
But you gave me the greatest gift and then you stole it back
I’ve had a friend who broke my heart before
I’ve had to make a brand new start before
But you broke all my hopes and dreams, I’ll tell you, that’s a fact
And the worst part is not the pain in which I drown
But the worst part is the way you let me down, ‘cause

It hurt me when you hurt me
And I cried when you lied
But my heart and soul, they are disjointed
Because you disappointed me
Oh, how could you desert me?
Can’t move on though I’ve tried
Well my heart and soul, they are disjointed
Because you disappointed me

I know you never meant to do me harm
I know you never meant to cause alarm
But you scared me out of my wits and that has left a scar
And I don’t know if I can trust again,
Forgive and say that we can just be friends
‘cause you have changed and I can’t recognise you as you are

And the worst part is not the pain in which I drown
But the worst part is the way you let me down, ‘cause

It hurt me when you hurt me
And I cried when you lied
But my heart and soul, they are disjointed
Because you disappointed me
Oh, how could you desert me?
Can’t move on though I’ve tried
Well my heart and soul, they are disjointed
Because you disappointed me

How could you break the lamp that holds the light?
How could you speak of day but walk by night?
How could you let the tightrope slip?
You’re falling, lost your grip
I’m falling, I have tripped
You’re falling, lost your grip
I’m falling…

It hurt me when you hurt me
And I cried when you lied
But my heart and soul, they are disjointed
Because you disappointed me
Oh, how could you desert me?
Can’t move on though I’ve tried
Well my heart and soul, they are disjointed
Because you disappointed me

 

Hurting You Too – lyrics

Hurting You Too

I know that you know it’s certain
I know that you know it’s true
I know that you know that they know, they say so
See, we know that you know it’s true

You’d like to run, hide, it’s certain
You’d like to hide from the truth
I know what you’d like, and they know that you’d hide
It looks like you’d best find the truth

It’s hurting me, why can’t you see
It’s hurting you too?
It’s burning me, why can’t you see
It’s burning you too?
It’s hurting me, why can’t you see
It’s hurting you too?
It’s burning me, why can’t you see
It’s bearing down on you?

They say that you know it’s hurting
And you say that they have the proof
They say that you know that they say that you know
So I say let’s cut the charade we’ve made

It’s hurting me, why can’t you see
It’s hurting you too?
It’s burning me, why can’t you see
It’s burning you too?
It’s hurting me, why can’t you see
It’s hurting you too?
It’s burning me, why can’t you see
It’s bearing down on you?

(guitar solo)

I know that you know it’s certain
I know that you know it’s true

It’s hurting me, why can’t you see
It’s hurting you too?
It’s burning me, why can’t you see
It’s burning you too?
It’s hurting me, why can’t you see
It’s hurting you too?
It’s burning me, why can’t you see
It’s bearing down on you?

Deep, Still – lyrics

Deep, Still

If a hurricane rages for awhile, then dies
I would never rage, though my heart is racing wild
If the winter winds press each other on, then turn
I would never race, though my heart so deeply yearns and burns

I have an ocean of deep, still love
Surging, yet silent
Ocean of deep, still love for you
Deeper than blue

See the seasons change, see the moon ascend and fall
They are subject to laws my heart does not uphold
I will be a rock; I will be a mountain’s core
Here I will endure, here I am forevermore
Forevermore I’m yours

I have an ocean of deep, still love
Surging, yet silent
Ocean of deep, still love for you
Deeper than blue
For you, deeper than blue

And the desert sands may shift above, but this love
It is anchored where no storms can move, or disapprove
Yes, the summer breeze may flirt with me, but wait and see
I’m free of these fleeting things

I have an ocean of deep, still love
Surging, yet silent
Ocean of deep, still love for you
Deeper than blue
For you, deeper than blue
For you, deeper than blue
I have an ocean of deep, still love

Back to the Ground – lyrics

Back to The Ground

What the heck am I doing?
Sometimes I got to stop myself and ooh!
Bring it back to the ground
Gotta stop to get moving
back to where I want to be and ooh!
Bring it back to the ground, bring it back to the ground
Bring it back to the ground

Feels like I’m running everyday of my life
So tired of always racing with time
I wish I could just stop and rewind
to somewhere I can free my mind

Wake up each morning with my head full of plans
So much to do it’s getting way out of hand
They slip through my fingers like grains of sand
and I just don’t understand

What the heck am I doing?
Sometimes I got to stop myself and ooh!
Bring it back to the ground
Gotta stop to get moving
back to where I want to be and ooh!
Bring it back to the ground, bring it back to the ground
Bring it back to the ground

Well, I know what I want but it is so hard to change
I keep on trying but I’m stuck on this page
There’s a mess in my head I need to re-arrange
to get me out of this place

What the heck am I doing?
Sometimes I got to stop myself and ooh!
Bring it back to the ground
Gotta stop to get moving
back to where I want to be and ooh!
Bring it back to the ground, bring it back to the ground
Bring it back to the ground

I want some time for a bubble bath
I need my space just to meditate, yeah
Don’t want to lean on caffeine, no, no
I wanna let my hair down, be free
I wanna be free

What the heck am I doing?
Sometimes I got to stop myself and ooh!
Bring it back to the ground
Gotta stop to get moving
back to where I want to be and ooh!
Bring it back to the ground, bring it back to the ground
Bring it back to the ground, bring it back to the ground
Bring it back to the ground

Boy – lyrics

Boy

Boy, you’re lovely as the morning
Lovely as a rosebud
Just about to bloom
Boy, your heyday is now dawning
Light is creeping in now,
Filling up the room

Wish I could capture you forever; wish I could capture you forever
Wish I could capture you forever as you are
Wish I could capture you forever; wish I could capture you forever
Wish I could capture you forever as you are

As you are growing tall, keep the fragrance
Keep the joy
As you become a man, keep the beauty
Of the boy

Boy, the world can stain your water
Be careful what you carry
Strive to keep your own
Boy, I cannot be your shelter
I’ll only walk beside you
As you journey on

Wish I could capture you forever; wish I could capture you forever
Wish I could capture you forever as you are
Wish I could capture you forever; wish I could capture you forever
Wish I could capture you forever as you are

As you are growing tall, keep the fragrance
Keep the joy
As you become a man, keep the beauty
Of the boy

Wish I could capture you forever; wish I could capture you forever
Wish I could capture you forever as you are
Wish I could capture you forever; wish I could capture you forever
Wish I could capture you forever as you are

 

Sleeper on the Night Train – lyrics

Sleeper on The Night Train

You say, “This is not my day.”
Resign yourself to disarray
Well, don’t you see another way?
Take your future in your hands, make plans and have your say
Rather than waiting for fate to send your day your way

Will you be another sleeper on the night train?
Will you be another sleeper on the night train?

You say, “This is just much luck;
The hand was dealt, now I am stuck.”
Oh, don’t you see another way?
Let your vision now expand, make plans and have your say
Rather than waiting for fate to send your day your way

Will you be another sleeper on the night train?
Will you be another sleeper on the night train?

Sleeper on…

(guitar solo)

Sleeper on, sleeper on, sleeper on…

Will you be another sleeper on the night train?
Will you be another sleeper on the night train?
Will you be another sleeper on the night train?
Will you be another sleeper on the night train?
Will you be another sleeper?

In the studio!

Summary: Three consecutive 8-hour days doing band sessions at Soundbaker Studios. Six 4-hour sessions recording and compiling vocals. Many mugs of peppermint tea, 1 packet of jelly snakes and a box of Cheds.

Thursday’s band session started off well – set up was quick and clean, and by the end of the day the drums and bass had good takes down for 6 songs. There were five of us in the studio – Robin and Bronton putting down bass and drums respeectively, and the rest of us playing along to give them a guide and some mojo. On the Friday, we finished off the drum and bass tracks, and moved to recording Tal’s keys and Harry’s guitar. Pleased with our productivity, the band ended the day with an energetic gig at The Boheme.
