There's two sides to this coin, and I'm the face that's on the back You tossed me down into your wishing well, but I fell through the cracks I just fell right through the cracks Maybe it's luck of the draw; I took a ticket now I'm waiting at the door It seems the odds are against us, but no one's counting any more And who was counting anyway? I will wait here so patiently I can see the eyes on the back of your head I will show myself the way out And invite you in instead Heads or tails is the question that's on everybody's minds I think I'll gamble away my sanity with the roll of the dice With the roll of the dice I will wait here so patiently I can see the eyes on the back of your head I will show myself the way out And invite you in instead And invite you in instead If life is one big casino I'm on the pokies at the back Feeding coins into your open mouth There's only a few left in my stack Left in my stack Left in my stack Left in my stack

Morning Sun 05:18
know you will always mean so much to me and I'm not sure where my head has been lately I've been searching round the room for a body by my side I can remember counting every tear you cried every tear you cried the morning sun rises over my head, a new day has come the morning sun rises over my head, what's done is done wo wo wo there is silver and there is gold there's the bronze memories I'll remember when I'm old and I see my life turning like the clock beside the fire there at the bottom swings the pendulum of desire the pendulum of desire the morning sun rises over my head, a new day has come the morning sun rises over my head, what's done is done wo wo wo searching brings no answer, waiting brings no change this is no treasure hunt, no objects to re-arrange no objects to... the morning sun, a new day has come the morning sun, a new day has come the morning sun, a new day has come

Unknown Girl 04:16
they say you've only gotta a few years to have a good time well I've been around for more and I haven't had mine there's plenty of women out there, roamin' the streets plenty of women out there that I'd like to meet but it's you little baby, you little honey, I wanna find ooo little darling you know you're on my mind they say a cat's got nine lives, well I've got ten and I'll wait another lifetime for my holy woman she's big and she is strong, she's beautiful she'll knock you right off your feet and oh you know it's you little baby, you little honey, I wanna find ooo little darling you know you're on my mind, all the time she's so beautiful, with her ruby hair waving in the night dreams of making love with her scented skin squeezing me so tight I'm no romeo, I'm no romantic on your soul but it's you my unknown girl that I wanna hold all night long don't you go and give your love away don't you go and listen to what the other men all say I was born a free, free man I'll catch you when I can

Lady Grey 04:30
lady grey, you're all wrapped up in your mother's ways and don't you know, you're so much better and before I go to bed, a cup of you will always clear my head your bergamot scent keeps me, keeps me sane and through those lazy days, your pale beauty always fills my brain in such delightful ways that leave me drained In the week, day dreams of you will haunt my broken sleep and when they're through, I don't feels so, feel so blue oh my lady grey, all the others just don't seem to taste the same I don't even need to explain that there's a thousand ways I'll miss you when it's time to leave this place and there's, a thousand ways I'd kiss you in the bedroom, but I wouldn't say that out loud oh no no lady grey, I've been taking sips of your caffeine fruit all day its innocence is too much to take and in those evils times, I try to imagine what it would have been like if I wasn't next to, next to you oh my lady grey, all the others just don't seem to taste the same I don't even need to explain that there's a thousand ways I'll miss you when it's time to leave this place and there's, a thousand ways I'd kiss you in the bedroom, but I wouldn't say that out loud oh no, no

caught alone at midnight again, the ocean talks to me rocking round on this creaky boat, a sailor lost at sea cast my nets out each morning don't know what I'll catch but I know it's for free there are many lessons to be learnt at sea it's been a long time since I've been caught in a storm could just be that time of year it's been a long time since I've seen my baby dear I do hope she's thinking of me the bobbing and the sway makes me smile and I'll just close my eyes till then soon a new day will come the sun will rise from east to west, from east to west where land abounds I have not found common ground you know it comes and goes comes and goes the horizon is but a mirror of my past this mirage can't last forever last forever it's been a long time since I stepped in the sand and felt the grains beneath my feet it's been a long time since I've held my baby's hand I do hope she's thinking of me it's been a long time since I've been caught in a storm could just be that time of year it's been a long time since I've seen my baby dear I do hope she's thinking of me I do hope she's thinking of me

crack my mirror, burn my clothes take them all to a place where no body knows cos they're draggin' me down, wasting my time without them you know, I'll be fine so take my tele and my money away and find them a better place to stay then in the hands of this society all it does is build our greed so why should we live in this way I admit it's pretty hard to let go but I feel it has gone too far today it's making me feel so low why do we care what all these, these people wear the brands and designs are hot in the air and I don't wanna be in no nation that thrives on all of these material minds so why should we live in this way I admit it's pretty hard to let go but I feel it has gone too far today it's making me feel so low why should we live in this way I admit it's pretty hard to let go but I feel it has gone too far today it's making me feel so low oh so low oh so low oh so low

blind eye turning on this world and what to do I couldn't stand it when I saw the truth I'm saw from war with myself and your company the corporation's tryin' to crush me self inflicted harm from four nations cross the globe they don't know what they want, they don't know where to go still there lies are all they show still the world is what they hide there's a blind eye in your world and it can't see beyond your self there's a shadow in all of us but you just have to believe in love just have to believe in love just have to believe in love distant measure is an hourglass on the sea dropping grains over time pain for pleasure is something that I used to need when I didn't feel so fine now I'm turning all the time in a waltz the world will do there's a crack in the mirror where you don't wanna look because your eyes are on the prize well there's no prize at the end of the race the only light is right now the only light is right now the only light is...
