Come With Me
We rode through the valley in the heat of the day. Our mounts leaving paths through the shale. Slowly up the hillside by some tinder dry trees. On a steep winding trail.
The vista spread before us in a warm dusty breeze. So - we sought some shade from the sun. The ocean lay beyond, the village below. This journey was done.
You said, Ohhhhhhhhh, Come with me, Come with me, come across the seas. And ohhhhhhhhh, I’ll show you how to live a good life.
We ate in a tavern overlooking the square. The sun set made the shadows so deep. The hustle and the bustle - filled the night air. And - we couldn’t sleep.
Haggling for passage on a boat in the bay. We said we’d go anywhere. The wind filled the sails and the boat surged away. Waves splashed your face and hair.
You said, Ohhhhhhhhh, Come with me, Come with me, come across the seas. And ohhhhhhhhh, I’ll show you how to live a good life.
I remember the still of the night as we stood overlooking the bay. It was so clear we could see past the stars and just had nothing to say. You turned to me, took me into your arms and made your promise to me. You said I’m going with you over the seas. You said I’m going with you over the seas.
And you said, Ohhhhhhhhh, Come with me. Come with me, come across the seas. And ohhhhhhhhh, I’ll show you how to live a good life.
The slipway was busy as we moored for the day. And sail-boat chimes filled the air. Small markets full of colour, scent and mystique. I fell in love with you there.
I said, Ohhhhhhhhh, Stay with me, Stay with me, for all eternity, And ohhhhhhhhh, I know that we will live a good life.
All I Think of is You
I never meant to fall in love with you. But I did. I never thought that I could feel the way I do. I thought we’d meet and that we’d have some fun. And we did. Now all I think of is you.
I can’t forget the things we said and did. Never will. That made me feel this way. Your just so easy to love. You’re in my thoughts all day and nothing stops my smiles. Now all I think of is you.
I’m gonna see you, gonna see you tonight. No one will wash this smile off my face. I’m gonna see you, gonna see you tonight. I can’t wait till you get to my place.
I look around and the world just feels, so alive. So many things I want us both to see and do. Those things we did that made me smile so much, they still do. As all I think of is you.
I’m gonna see you, gonna see you tonight. No one will wash this smile off my face. I’m gonna see you, gonna see you tonight. I can’t wait till you get to my place.

Oh, you are, oh, you are, you are the love of my life, oh baby. Oh, you are, oh, you are, you are the love of my life, oh baby, baby.
Gaslighting
You told everyone I did things that you knew I never did. You mocked me for my memory and of losing things you’d hid. You said that I was crazy, put such doubts into my mind. But you failed, you fa-a-ailed.
You turned my needs and dreams and hopes and made them about you. You pushed away my friends with lies that they believed were true. You twisted my re-al-ity, pushed all the blame on me. But you failed, you fa-a-ailed.
And I hate you. And I hate you.
I’ve seen through your silky spiders’ web and all threads spin from you. I’m horrified to realise who you are and what you do. Bound tight-ly by your truth, but its’s your lies that cut me free. You have failed, you fa-a-ailed.
So, go to hell and burn in flames for all eternity. You used to be my life but you are just dead now to me. Don’t place another sugar-coated lie upon your lips. You have failed, you fa-a-ailed.
And I hate you. And I hate you.
I’m stronger now since yesterday. Better, doing things my way. For you, the writings up there on the wall. I’ve taken everything I own. And moved in with real friends I phoned. For me, there was no love left here at all.
And I - will bloom - and you - will fade. And I - will bloom - not you. And I - will bloom - and you - will fade. And I - will bloom - not you.
Rebuild myself and start again. Have some patience and stay sane. Some gentle love to sooth my troubled mind. An old friend that I met by chance. Perhaps a flicker of romance. The sunrise dazzles dark moons left behind.
And I - will bloom - and you - will fade. And I - will bloom - not you. And I - will bloom - and you - will fade. And I - will bloom - not you.
Lying Low
I’m lying low, lying low, lying low, I’m lying low, lying low, lying low, through the best years of my life. Lying low, lying low, lying low, I’m lying low, lying low, lying low, through the best years of my life
My parents told me - I could be anything. Those weren’t the choices that I had. I’m in my twenties feeling lost, alone, with little hope. A stranger to the life that others have
Can you see me – am I invisible. Does nothing that I’m saying interest you. I’m being left behind I’ve lost all motivation. Left staring through the gaps that I fell through
I’m lying low through the best years of my life. Curtains drawn, music down, lit by a screen. I don’t fit in, and nothing offers joy. Why would anybody notice me? I’m just an NPC, I am an NPC
My parents said - I could be anything. Work has left me pretty scarred. I’m in my twenties feeling lost, alone, with little hope. No future shining brightly in my stars
I’m lying low, lying low, lying low, I’m lying low, lying low, lying low, through the best years of my life. Lying low, lying low, lying low, I’m lying low, lying low, lying low, through the best years of my life
My parents told me - I could be anything. Those weren’t the choices that I had. I’m in my twenties feeling lost, alone, with little hope, A stranger to the life that others have

I’m lying low through the best years of my life. Curtains drawn, music down, lit by a screen. I don’t fit in, and nothing offers joy. Why would anybody notice me?
I’m just an NPC, I am an NPC, I am an NPC, I am an NPC
Inner Lust
Dance with me, oh, oh, oh, Dance with me, oh, oh, oh, Dance with me, oh, oh, oh, Dance with me, oh, oh, oh
I’m proud about my history. I hold my head up high. Your opinions don’t concern me. You’ll see that I’m not shy
I am an avid hunter. I know what’s on my mind. You think that I am weaker. That’s not what you will find
Does my confidence upset you? My purpose, not clear cut. Let me whisper in your ear. Let’s harness my inner lust
It’s all for me, not you. Me, not you. Does that come as a surprise. Well, just gaze into my eyes
The rhythms beating from my heart. I’m not your slave in chains. I’m a pure primeval force. Blood pumping through my veins
No bowed head or cow eyed, apology to make. Dance with me or step aside. I have lusts to sate
Does my confidence upset you? My purpose, not clear cut. Let me whisper in your ear. Let’s harness my inner lust

How do I make you feel, oh, oh, oh, oh. How do you think I feel, oh, oh, oh, oh. Undress me with your eyes. The heat from me to you. Are you so surprised. It’s all for me, not you. How do you think I feel, oh, oh, oh, oh
The rhythms beating from my heart. I’m not your slave in chains. I’m a pure primeval force. Blood pumping through my veins

Mid Life Crisis
I drove to work, the other day - A load of stuff was on my mind - I found I didn’t like my life
My job, my house, my car, my wife - And so, by journeys end - I planned, to change my ways - To seek the life, I’d thought I’d lost - Without really giving, a thought to cost
My mind was made, I was so sure - To hell with all the rest - I quit my job, the very same day
Got into my car, and I just drove away - The next few months were a perfect storm - and everybody had a view - No-one seemed to understand - And I realised that we were through
It was a mid-life crisis on an epic scale - A bonfire of vanities, doomed to fail - I launched myself, into the sky - Then realised that I couldn’t fly - It was a mid-life crisis on an epic scale - Not thought out and doomed to fail - Please forgive, cos I really swear - I tried to turn back, but there was, no road there
I used to love everything about you - A simple smile would fill my heart with fire - But deep inside something made me doubt you - Changed my mind then wanted something new
I used to love everything about you - A simple smile would fill my heart with fire - But deep inside something made me doubt you - Changed my mind then wanted something new
I packed my bags at the dead of night - And drove through until the dawn - As the sun rose up, I felt the warmth - and hoped that, I would be reborn - I don’t recall the reasons why
I behaved, the way I did - I felt like someone else inside - Played a joke on me before they died
It was a mid-life crisis on an epic scale - A bonfire of vanities, doomed to fail - I launched myself into the sky - Then realised that I couldn’t fly - It was a mid-life crisis on an epic scale
Not mapped out and doomed to fail - Please forgive, I hate to see you cry - I’m not the same person, but I, don’t know why - I used to love everything about you - A simple smile would fill my heart with fire - But deep inside something made me doubt you - Changed my mind then wanted something new
I used to love everything about you - A simple smile would fill my heart with fire - But deep inside something made me doubt you - Changed my mind then wanted something new
