Reprise

From the moment I was woken
I haven't been much use
I think my head is broken
Everything's confused
You can't put it right overnight
If you focus on the moment
When everything goes wrong
You forget about the oceans
Where we all get along
You can't put it right overnight
Just close your eyes: it'll be all right

Fake ID
02:38
|

There's something in the water
There's something in my eye
There's someone in the mirror
I used to recognise
There's something in the water
Or maybe in my genes
A little medication
Sometimes that's what you need
There's something in the water
There's something in my eye
There's someone in the mirror
I used to recognise
I wonder what he's thinking
He looks a bit like me
Do you think that maybe it's a case of fake ID?

It's Not That Simple
02:01
|

If I could figure out
If I could understand
I wouldn't be sitting here
With my head in my hands
I might be out
Living life to the hilt
Dancing round the house
In a Highland kilt
But it's not that simple
So that's me:
Living in fiction
Causing friction
Sobbing in the kitchen
Because it's not that simple

No Man Is An Island
03:26
|

I'm not certain anymore
It's what we're looking for
I sink better than swim
There's less to me than them
They laugh and I'm confused
Silent and not amused
I swim worse than I sink
You'll miss me when you blink
No man is an island
We're just a rock sticking out of the ocean
I'm not a rock
There's nothing left to give
No more words to sing
I've just enough to live
But that's somewhere to begin
No man is an island
We're just a wreck sticking out of the ocean
I'm not a wreck

You take the left hand and I'll take the right hand
Given time we'll dance our way across the floor
It looks like we're done for
You say I'm static: a man automatic
Harsh words have sometimes led into a war
It looks like we're done for
I'd say I'm lacking in thought and in planning
Truth is I'm being eaten to the core
It looks like we're done for

Somewhere in the pit of my mind
I dropped the key to how to live life
I'm trying hard to get it back
Detection is a skill that I lack
I'm not immune to knowing that it hurts
To see me when I know I'm at my worst
When silly things can cause me to fall
It's written all over your face
I don't enjoy behaving this way
I can't control the thoughts in my head
That make me feel... it's better not said
I don't blame you for looking so surprised
But some days I enjoy being alive
I love the warmth of sun on my skin
The effortless way the birds sing

Living's not easy
When you go to work half-fed
And you get home from work half-dead
And your mind's somewhere else in between
And you can't find the words to capture the hurt that you feel
We all know the pain and you'll feel it again
Talking comes cheap
I've nothing to say, I'll shut my trap and walk away
And you can't find the words to capture the hurt that you feel
We all know the pain and you'll feel it again
The mood is as low as the sky is bright
Full of a glow cos the moors are alight
And you'll sit and you'll wait for the click of a gate
That one day won't come
Cos one day I'll keep walking

Hang on
There's something I've forgotten
Something that you need to know
I won't keep you longer than I need to
I'll get my coat then I'll go
The truth is sometimes left unspoken
And pride can come before a fall
My head: it's not really broken
Cos I'm not here at all
At least I didn't still your money
And if I stole a piece of your heart
Then maybe it was there for the taking
And now I'm falling apart
