Time I Was Gone

It’s time I was gone I’ll take my things and run
I’ll catch the bus in the rush hour
And flee across the city there isn’t much left here for me
I’ll catch that bus in the rush hour
To my sister’s for tea and biscuits
She can’t fix it but she listens
And I’ll make my big decision
And then I’ll run
It’s time I was gone I have so much to be getting done
I’ll catch that bus in the rush hour
And see what’s left for me there’s still so much I’d like to be
I’ll catch my bus in the rush hour
To my sister’s for tea and biscuits
She can’t fix it but she listens
And I’ll make my big decision
And then I’ll run
To my sister’s for tea and biscuits
She can’t fix it but she listens
And I’ll make my big decision
And then I’ll run
To my sister’s for tea and biscuits
She can’t fix it but she listens
And I’ll make my big decision
And then I’ll run
To my sister’s for tea and biscuits
She can’t fix it but she listens
And I’ll make my big decision
And then I’ll run
Yeah I’ll make my big decision
And then I’ll run

Oh these long dark country roads leave such a long way to go
And the silence is deafening
When there’s no talking just walking
When there’s no talking just walking.
So here we are in single file counting mile after mile
And I can just about make you out
But there’s no talking just walking
No there’s no talking just walking
Oh there’s a long way still to go and I just don’t know what I can say
Oh is there some way you could know that I do feel the same way
Oh these short and sweet goodbye kisses are the ones one really misses
And they are all that I can think about
When there’s no talking just walking
When there’s no talking just walking
When there’s no talking just walking
When there’s no talking just walking

Come To The Phone

If you come to the phone I will kiss you down the line
I know that things could be so different this time
We left our love asleep for too long
And we were never ever really that strong
No we were never ever really that strong
I see the idea forming up in your mind
You’ve decided that now is the right time
To hold your hands up and wave goodbye
I’ll read the letters that you’ll put through my door
Saying you don’t want me calling anymore
And this time you’re sure
If you come to the phone I will kiss you down the line
I know that things could be so different this time
We left our love asleep for too long
And we were never ever really that strong
No we were never ever really that strong
We were never ever really that strong
No we were never ever really that strong

Smile Your Best Smile

Smile your best smile
You might just win her over
You might just bowl her over
Here she comes through the door
With the sunlight behind her
Yes you know she could blind you
After all it doesn’t take a lot to fall to pieces
It doesn’t take that much at all
Before you know it you’ll be sworn to secrets
Before you know it you’ll be torn
You’ll be torn
So say something soon
Something she should be hearing
Something she’ll find appealing
Here she comes through the door
With the sunlight behind her
Now she knows she can blind you
After all it doesn’t take a lot to fall to pieces
It doesn’t take that much at all
Before you know it you’ll be sworn to secrets
Before you know it you’ll be torn
It doesn’t take a lot to fall to pieces
It doesn’t take that much at all
Before you know it you’ll be sworn to secrets
Before you know it you’ll be torn
You’ll be torn, torn, torn, torn.

Magpies

All we see are magpies these days
We chased all the pretty little songbirds away
Took their homes and changed their ways
Now all we see are magpies these days
Who’ll be singing in the morning, come the first days of spring
Who’ll be giving the warning, to take to the wing and sing, sing
All we hear are magpies these days
A silent spring can’t be that far away
Stole their seasons, changed their ways
Now all we hear are magpies these days
Who’ll be bringing in the morning, come the first days of spring
Who’ll be giving the warning, to take to the wing and sing, sing
Who’ll be singing in the morning, come the first days of spring
Who’ll be giving the warning, to take to the wing and sing, sing, sing

Pass the phone box by the road
And keep on walking up the hill
Pass the phone box by the road
And keep on walking up the hill
Jump the puddles in the road
And dip beneath the bending trees
Jump those puddles in the road
And dip beneath the bending trees
Oh I’ll follow wherever you go
You know you know
I’ll follow wherever you go
You know you know
You know you know
You know you know
