NO ONE’S LOST TRIBE
(Deighton)
We sit in silence all through the night
No devastation outweighs our lives
Above what matters, we won’t deny
Don’t ask me questions
And I won’t ask why
Where go, where go ?
No one’s lost tribe
Where go, where go?
Big stars are streaming into the night
Shaking and creaking small world on fire
My, my high time
No one’s lost tribe
Where go,where go?
Obsessed and narrow
Unfit to think
Wings of the Sparrow show through the ink
They own this city and all inside
With more clubs to drink in
And more clothes to buy
My,my high time
No one’s lost tribe
Where go, where go?

EACH TIME YOU FIND OUT
(Deighton/Nieve/Sheehan)
Don’t you find you always give yourself away?
Leaving nothing for yourself
It’s not a crime you know, to look the other way
Next time they’re crying out for help
And the more you shine ,the more they fade away
And the more you love ,the less you seem to gain
And each time you find out , the lights go out again
If the morning wakes you up without a smile
Better check the night before
You’re always pushing for the extra mile
And ending up with nothing more
And the more you shine,the more they fade away
And the more you love,the less you seem to gain
And each time you find out, the lights go out again
And each time you find out,the lights go out again
You’re not the one who’s gonna turn their world around
‘Cos it’s turning anyway
With your eyes adjusted to your darkest night
That’s when you find your brightest day
And the more you learn, the brighter burns the flame
And in time you’ll find that everything will change
And each time you find out, the sun comes out again

May You Give It All Away

MAY YOU GIVE IT ALL AWAY
(Deighton)
Here lies everywhere, oh take me there
Love reveals all truth, in your heart is the proof
May you give it all away
Give it out for all to take
Anytime will do
This is where I fell, under some spell
But now the time has come,the web is undone
May you give it all away
Let it go and save the day
Anytime will do
All of it relies on you
Everything you need will come true
What you waiting for?
Oh all is yours
Realise your smile, see the love reaching out for miles
Let the good show you the way
Give it back and see the day
And leave the bad times by the gate
Any time will do
Everything you need will come true
Everything you need will come true

NEED NEVER BE
(Deighton)
Half of the time we suffer things that challenge our pride
Ooh tell me why we make decisions without using our minds
Round again and into the sea we are thrown
Calling out for help and to be free and not alone
When evening comes and there’s no point in hanging on
Things trip me up and I discover I’m not the only one
Round again and into the sea we are thrown
Calling out for help and to be free and not alone
Here’s your chance now,come and take it, pick it up from where you left
Time is precious, don’t you waste it, make a new start ,do your best
Don’t it feel a shame playing a part in a scene?
Don’t just pick out a name that you will need never be
Yeah I’m forever slowly catching up ,with all this pressure weighing me down
And then we’re told we just ain’t good enough, they say our heads are in the clouds
Don’t it feel a shame playing a part in a scene?
Don’t just pick out a name that you will need never be
Well here’s your chance now, come and take it, pick it up from where you left
Time is precious, don’t you waste it,make a new start, do your best
Keep an eye out for what matters,take a day off, be yourself (Ooh is this all that we’re like?)
Leave us guessing, keep us waiting, something’s happening can’t you tell? (Ooh photographing our lives)
So here’s your chance now, come and take it, pick it up from where you left
Time is precious, don’t you waste it,make a new start, do your best
Keep an eye out for what matters,take a day off, be yourself (Ooh is this all in my life?)
Leave us guessing, keep us waiting, something’s happening can’t you tell? (Ooh photographing our lives)
Find a new way to remember, where you’re going,where you’ve been (Ooh why are we permanently wired?)
Nothing broken, all is mended, what you find is what you’ll need (Ooh from a cloud being spied)
Am I spiritual or material, should I be buried with all I own? (Ooh don’t you wanna be free?)
Are we nice to all the strangers while we are rude to the friends we know? (Ooh please don’t leave me behind)
So fascinating, all consuming,uncomplicated,nothing less (Ooh Christ don’t leave me behind!)
Show me a miracle,something special,don’t wanna doubt it or second guess (Ooh or just filming things live)
Is this a news reel or propaganda, another false flag or just the truth? (Ooh do we need a real voice?)
A line of dominoes forever falling, where’s the answer, where’s the proof? (Ooh or an alternative choice)
Under surveillance ,nothing private, you are living through a lens (Ooh is this the here and the now?)
Make a comment,show your feelings,another update for virtual friends (Ooh or a download from the cloud)
Are we just sheep in wolves’ clothing, sticking close to what we see? (Oo is this all that we’re like?)
Going viral, forever cloning, nothing standing out, no ‘you’ and ‘me’ (Ooh photographing our lives?!)
No ‘you’ and ‘me’!
Need never be!
Need never be!

RITE
(Deighton)
Hallways of light, somedays we’re running out of time
But in one way we need it there to be rite
Don’t be drifting out to sea ,Thursday ’til Saturday is free
Don’t discourage or waiver all of your rites
Down the flight of stairs again
To the outside and into the rain, the rain
Born with the world beneath your feet
Wake, breathe then sleep and repeat
In your courage you travel into the light
Down that flight of stairs again
To the outside across the lane,the lane
In your courage you travel into the light
We’ve been here all along
Waiting for you to come home
May you see that it’s over and you are alive!

HYMN AFTER HYMN
(Deighton)
When you’re tired of failing and all out of time
In a state of loathing and torn inside
Over and over I can’t sing it right
But if you need me I’ll be here by your side
We should be laughing, let it all out
But how can you be singing if you’re closing your mouth?
In the air from a great height
Suddenly you’re falling and blinded by light
In the evening way over the trees
The silver is twinkling but what just does it mean?
If you could ever sit through another film with no name
What joy would it bring you and would you see it again ,all night?
Where you been,hymn after hymn?
Singing alone down on your knees alright,alright
So did you find in the end then
That it was all the above?
Or were you stuck wondering what you’re thinking of?
I guess we’ll never mind feeling much alone
Could it be?
Could it be all night?

DREAMSTATE
(Deighton/Lewis)
I took a flight last night to Italy
Left behind my blue guitar
I get the feeling it’s been calling me
From a place inside my heart
I’m at the top of a hill
It’s so peaceful and still
Waking up to a better morning
Four hundred miles from the night before
No more phone numbers to be calling
And no one’s knocking at my door
I’m on the top of a hill
Where it’s so peaceful and still
Now I’m so happy
I’m in a dreaming
In a dreaming state
Yeah I’m so happy
I’m in a dreaming
In a dreaming state
It’s been a while since I heard laughter
So I turned my back on the grey and blue
Now I know what I’ve been after
A simple life nothing to prove
Another day full of fun
Just laying out in the sun
Now I’m so happy
I’m in a dreaming
In a dreaming state
Yeah I’m so happy
I’m in a dreaming
In a dreaming state
Ain’t no fussin’ and fightin’
We’re just layin’ in the lazy mornin’ sun
Ain’t no thunder and lightnin’
Only sunshine and cool music
To keep us warm
I’m on the top of a hill
Where it’s so peaceful and still
Now I’m so happy
I’m in a dreaming
In a dreaming state
Yeah I’m so happy
I’m in a dreaming
In a dreaming state
Yeah I’m so happy
I’m in a dreaming
In a dreaming state
Yeah I’m so happy
I’m in a dreaming
In a dreaming state
In a dreaming
In a dreaming state
Well I’m in a state of dreaming state

HOW DO WE SHOW OUR LOVE?
(Deighton)
How do we show our love?
By showing we mean what we say
How do we show our love?
By not hiding our feelings away
Where does the love come from?
A place that we keep in our heart
Somewhere we all belong
In a world where no one is apart
All there is, yours and mine
Through this life we’ll surely find what we’re waiting for
How do we show our love?
When everything’s getting too much
How do we show our love ?
If everything’s losing its touch
Where are we gonna be?
If tomorrow forgets to arrive
What are we gonna see?
When we finally open our eyes
All there is, yours and mine
No worries
Yeah we’ll surely find our own peace of mind
Ooh didn’t we come this way?
Ooh day after day
Oh what are the chances now?
Oh to turn this around?
It seems to me it’s all been done
A million times
Right back to one
Right back to one
How do we show our love?
By keeping an open mind
How do we show our love?
By leaving no one behind
When do we take a rest?
From spending our days on a wheel?
Spinning forever more
To the point we can no longer feel
What is wrong?
And if we’re right
On and on
My oh my
When all there is, mine and yours
Through this life you’ll surely find what you’ve been looking for
How do we show our love?
