Tired Of Starting Again 05:55
lyrics
buy track
Tired Of Starting Again Might as well say what you’ve got to say Might as well get the thing out the way Instead of pretending that it’s all OK If we’re heading out to kingdom come I want to know what I’m supposed to have done I want to see the script that you’re reading from There seems to be a little “just in case” Which makes me wonder if we’re in a race To fix our eyes upon some other scheme some other place Chorus Don’t tell me it’s over Don't say it’s just a matter of when Don’t tell me it’s over I’m tired of starting again If I’m due for a kicking If it’s fair I’ll take what’s coming Just as long as you listen Cos I’m tired of starting again I’m tired of starting again I’m tired of starting again Tired of starting again You’ve got negatives and I’ve got mine We bang on about them all the time But we’re allowed to have them, it’s no crime Are they big enough to show the door? Are they cover just for something more? Can you tell me what we’re in this for? Well we can all dream of better days Dreams of here or of another place But I can’t stand by while we pull this thing opposite ways Breaking up they say is hard to do It ain’t easy making something new I want to stay and see the whole thing through But if it’s over then I won’t pretend I’m not strong enough to go and fend It’s just I’m so tired of starting again Well we can all dream of better days Dreams of here or of another place But I can’t stand by while we pull this thing opposite ways Words and music by Den Miller Copyright (C) 2003 Den Miller

Ticket Home 04:21
lyrics

Ticket Home The train pulled in, in the pouring rain But no matter what the view, it was a chance to start again The omens looked bad, but my feelings were good Cos I’d worked so hard to get where I should From one set of problems to another maybe so But no-one can take this from me, I’m going to have a go, and Chorus You can cancel my ticket home I’ve seen so much, I can’t let go So if someone wants a free ride back there Then take this now, cos I don’t care, no When I stepped in, to the train back there I had baggage more than that suitcase on the chair I was carrying the weight of the world upon my back But I’ve thrown it away like the coke can on the track I’ve started believing that I’m worth something again And it’s more than the price that’s on the ticket on this train, so I maybe only a single But I never want to return. They apologise for another train delay And I feel the same in a different kind of way I’ve been held up in a sidings of my own But I’ve left there now, yeah the broken rails are gone Words and music by Den Miller Copyright (C) 2003 Den Miller

Send In The Love 04:38
lyrics
buy track
Send In The Love Oil men with power sit around and they wanna have a war Their business threatened by things that are rotten to the core Summon their generals to try and even the score They mass their armies and they want to take an eye for an eye But I know a better way with a different set of rules that apply It's a weapon of mass destruction apart from nobody dies Send in the love across that river so wide Send in the love, you don't know till you have tried Send in the love, while those about you deride Send in the love, defeat them from the inside You can send in the tanks You can send in the guns But till you send in the love You ain't never gonna get the job done. It's so hard to hold back when you reckon youre the best You feel like superman but you could end up a whole lot less Just like a bully in a playground who's 2 feet taller than the rest If you lived your life by the values that you're trying to defend Then one of those rules you'd see you were trying to bend Says love your enemy and turn them back into your friend. Send in the love across that river so wide Send in the love, all it costs is your pride Send in the love, while those about you deride Send in the love, defeat them from the inside You can send in the tanks You can send in the guns But till you send in the love You ain't never gonna get the job done. Send in the love across that river so wide Send in the love, all it costs is your pride Send in the love, while those about you deride Send in the love, defeat them from the inside You can send in the tanks You can send in the guns But till you send in the love You ain't never gonna get the job done. Send in the love, send in the love Send in the love, send in the love Yeah you can send in the tanks You can send in the guns But till you send in the love You ain't never gonna get the job done.

Eat Away The Rainbow 06:47
lyrics

Eat Away The Rainbow As I look out at all the wondrous earth I see how much this golden globe is worth But I can’t stop those thoughts which speak of you They fill my mind with pain the things you do Chorus Oh, this thing won’t go away you know Oh, you just eat away the rainbow Well now there is a smile across your face That smile hides all the selfishness you gave But soon enough that smile will fade and go And that will be the end of your rainbow You say your past’s behind your memory wall You say the winds of time are gonna break your fall Your rainbow dream will slowly drift away And still you’ll say your life will be OK Words and music by Den Miller Copyright (C) 2003 Den Miller

Count Them All 05:04
lyrics
buy track
Count Them All It’s 8 o’clock but all’s not well Observers see the traffic swell Hurtling headlong east and west To try and make it to their desk And as fumes foul the morning sky You cannot help but wonder why We’ve turned into this race of tunnel minds Can you count them all? Can you count them speeding by? Can you count them all? Can you count them all? So filled their busy lives A rear-view mirror shows a scene Where metal folds and tyres scream But mustn’t stop to see who’s hurt I might be seconds late for work Minutes later sirens tune Those waiting hope they’ll clear it soon As queues stretch back to half way round the moon They just count them all Every second makes them fume They just count them all Every minute late Each business meeting ruined. By now the vultures have arrived And chart the tale of those who died Oblivious the cameras click To try to get the gory bits Three inch high the headlines cry M-way drama few survive All to make the paper catch our eye They just count them all Joyful at the rising toll They just count them all Every one a thousand more newspapers sold On tea time news the food for thought Is more of the grim spectator sport Sometimes you get more worked up When fiction dies on your soap op But tunnel minds drive back next day No flowers mark the motorway It’s just like it’s a game in some arcade Cos they don’t count at all They’re not anybody’s loss They don’t count at all All’s forgotten now, nobody gives a toss They don’t count at all Just as long as it’s not me They don’t count at all Just a tiny drop of water in the sea.

There's Always A Boat Going Nowhere 04:23
lyrics

There's Always A Boat Going Nowhere You, you turn around And I can see somebody new You, you are my friend So I’ll hear again What you get up to From a string of heartbreaks Will you ever learn How to find a true love Whose heart is all your own Cos you’re always on boats going nowhere Why do you always ignore That you always set sail with a captain Who doesn’t know starboard from port There’s always a boat going nowhere It’s better to wait for the tide And be sure that you know where the boat’s going to go Before you start accepting a ride You, you say she’s the one You’ve found the sun Something’s begun How, how can you be sure When all times before Something went wrong You say to me that you can see the sun shine in her eyes But if seeing is believing then it’s all a pack of lies Cos you get on a boat going nowhere Cos you never wait to be sure And you don’t want to know how many times They have been shipwrecked before There’s always a boat going nowhere It’s better to wait for the tide And be sure that you know where the boat’s going to go Before you start accepting a ride Words and music by Den Miller Copyright (C) 2003 Den Miller

Wasting My Time 08:14
lyrics
buy track
Wasting My Time Been walking round this city Feeling out of place down there Concrete mouths and glass eyes An unconducted thoroughfare Staring at a window That’s staring back at me In the starkness of truth I’m not liking what I see Chorus I’m just wasting my time, wasting away Pampered at night, spoonfed by day So much to do but left up to me Potential is high and nothing’s achieved I’m just wasting my life, wasting my days A castle of sand blowing away Easy to sit on the top of a slide and Lay back in neutral all of the ride Flicking through the channels Nothing on as usual A boring documentary Not exactly knocked off my stool I watch the news and weather For the tenth time today She says have a nice weekend But I know there’s no way Sitting on a barstool The TV tells of desert drought The satisfied goes drinking The thirsty has to do without Trapped in a western castle Far from the battle front Dealt only minor hassles Is it really what I want?

Why Is Love So Hard? 05:06
lyrics
buy track
Why Is Love So Hard? Staring hard into another vodka and lime Something brought me here I can’t think what. Oh yes I came down here to have a good time It seems so strange that I could have forgot I built myself up best as I know how And looking round the girls have done the same But all that character façade won’t help me now Cos no-one new has come to know my name And so I feel rejected for what I expected Was to be accepted today Is it too much to ask for a part in the cast? For a love life at last So I say Chorus Why is love so hard? Why are lonely hearts always on guard when I come near? It seems like all the chances that I had just disappear So tense the atmosphere That I’ve just got to walk away Why do people take you at face value? Don’t they know that looks can tell a lie? And girls can put such faith in total strangers Even though they know they pay the price Why can’t they be bothered to believe me? I’m just looking for a chance to shine That no-one really seems to want to give me They just take the easy way each time And though they never knew me they say they see through me But they just confuse me sometimes I just smile and retreat and acknowledge defeat And return to my seat in disguise Words and music by Den Miller Copyright (C) 2003 Den Miller

I Wasn't Late For You 03:29
lyrics

I Wasn't Late For You All my life I’ve been chasing my tail All the time missing deadlines without fail And there might be fishes in the sea But everyone was hooked It seemed too late for me Every chance I’d blown I wish I had have known I wasn’t late for you Tired of love, tired of losing, and resigned To a life with nobody alongside And you came with all your magic power Made everything sublime The clock went back an hour The time that went before I’m happy to ignore I wasn’t late for you Oh my love I’ve been chasing my dream And that’s not been as glamorous as it seems And your nights must have been like watching drying paint It would have fully tried the patience of a saint You could have turned the page But you never left the stage I wasn’t late for you. All my life I’ve been chasing my tail Going round with the progress of a snail But I won’t dwell upon the list Of things that I’ve not done Of everything I missed They’ll just stay in the queue Of things still left to do I wasn’t late for you I’ll be late for my demise But much to my surprise I wasn’t late for you.

All Is Never Done 05:02

All Is Never Done Seems like our party’s over Seems all the fun’s been had And suddenly we’re sober In separate taxi cabs Forever is a long way Seems we didn’t last that long But I promised you forever So we couldn’t be more wrong Chorus There’s always one more race to be run There’s always one more spin to be spun There’s always one more do to be done It’s never over when two become one There’s always one more wring to be wrung There’s always one begin to begun Because when all is said and done All is never said And all is never done So who is gonna call first And swallow all their pride And who is gonna want more Than “at least they know I tried” Forever is a long way It means you’re in it past the end And when you’re promising forever That’s hard to comprehend Words and music by Den Miller Copyright (C) 2003 Den Miller
