Fire In The Doll’s House

Hey mr. preacher you’re telling me you think you’ve got
a friend, somewhere else, but you’ll see him in the end.
Hey mr. teacher, you’re telling me to live life by the
rules that exist in dreams of lesser fools.

Hey mr. justice, you’re telling me that I can cross the
road as long as I do exactly what I’m told.
Hey mr. minister you’re telling me that I cannot be free
whilst you talk of my right to liberty

If you can’t see the madness, you might as well be blind

There’s a fire in the doll’s house
But you don’t know where to turn
There’s a fire in the doll’s house
Let it burn.
There’s a fire in the doll’s house
But we don’t know where to turn
There’s a fire in the doll’s house
Let it burn, let it burn.

Hey there you leaders you talk about the lives you’re gonna save
turn your back, then you send them to their grave.
Hey there you generals you justify the reasons that you lie
to justify the reasons why they die.

If you can’t see the sadness, you might as well be blind

There’s a fire in the doll’s house
But you don’t know where to turn
There’s a fire in the doll’s house
Let it burn.
There’s a fire in the doll’s house
But we don’t know where to turn
There’s a fire in the doll’s house
Let it burn…

Let it burn, baby burn. That’s the way, that’s the way.
Turn, baby turn. That’s the way, that’s the way.

There’s a fire in the doll’s house
But we don’t know where to turn
There’s a fire in the doll’s house
Let it burn.

Dance With Me

Thought you’d left here
Someone mentioned
Thought you’d tire of this conversation

Too much talking
about the weather
About the children
or whatever

I’m so glad you’re staying

So then let’s pretend
that we’ve just met
No remorse and no regret
They can’t see what we can be
so take my hand and dance with me

Words are spoken
Softly spoken
In the silence
Promise broken

I’m so glad I’m saying

So then let’s pretend
that we’ve just met
No remorse and no regret
They can’t see what we can be
so take my hand and dance…with me

Like nobody’s watching
Dance with me
like we’re alone

So then let’s pretend
that we’ve just met
No remorse and no regret
They can’t see what we can be
so take my hand and dance…with me

Smile If You Wanna Get High

Too many people on the train again
Looks as if it’s gonna rain again
And you know it won’t be
long before you break

Waking up and hoping something’s changed
Maybe something little rearranged
Don’t know how much more
of this that you can take

You can do it if you want to
We can do it if you try

Smile if you wanna get high baby
Smile if you wanna get high.
Smile if you wanna get high baby
Smile if you wanna get high.

Another day another dawning
Try to stop myself from yawning
I’m so tired I think I might just fade away

Trying to make it through the 9 to 5
It’s a struggle just to stay alive
Doing everything I can to make it pay

You can do it if you want to
We can do it if you try

Smile if you wanna get high baby
Smile if you wanna get high.
Smile if you wanna get high baby
Smile if you wanna get high.

It doesn’t matter what you do
Best believe what’s inside of you

Smile if you wanna get high baby
Smile if you wanna get high.
Smile if you wanna get high baby
Smile if you wanna get high.

(Repeat)

Don’t Ask Why

You come into the room
and I am talking to myself
and you ask why, why, why
I tell you that it’s nothing
‘cos it seems the thing to say
but I lie, lie, lie

A hurried explanation is the last
thing that you need
It won’t help you anyway
Some things are best forgotten so
the lies can be believed
and we keep those harsh realities at bay
Hey, hey, hey

And we’re all here in this circus
and we’re all part of the show
and sometimes the final irony is lost
So don’t go searching out for answers
It’s much better you don’t know
It’s all a lie, lie, lie
so don’t ask why, why, why

She sees and unknown number
or a credit card receipt
It makes her cry, cry, cry

But when she sees the children
and she thinks of the deceit
her eyes are dry, dry, dry

A hurried explanation is the last
thing that she needs
and it won’t help you anyway
Some things are best forgotten so
the lies can be believed
and we keep those harsh realities at bay
Hey, hey, hey

And we’re all here in this circus
and we’re all part of the show
and sometimes the final irony is lost
So don’t go searching out for answers
It’s much better you don’t know
It’s all a lie, lie, lie
so don’t ask why, why, why

How many secrets can you keep
when the only truth is talking in your sleep
It’s just the silly games we play
and it’s the words that we don’t say
Hey, hey, hey

And we’re all here in this circus
and we’re all part of the show
and sometimes the final irony is lost
So don’t go searching out for answers
It’s much better you don’t know
It’s all a lie, lie, lie
so don’t ask why, why, why

It’s all a lie, lie, lie
so don’t ask why, why, why

Where Are You Now

The photographs they tell a different lie
Ignoring all the past that has gone by
Innocence so sweet in can seduce you
A message from the past with no reply

So long
So long but not forgotten
The tenderness of lying in your bed
Still running through my head

I know that things can never last
You can’t expect the freedom
if you’re living in the past but

Where are you now
(Repeat x 2)

Some say that only time will be my healer
I guess I’ve got a long long time to wait
Others say that time will be my teacher
Funny how we always learn too late

So long
So long but not forgotten
The tenderness of lying in your bed
still running through my head

I know things can never last
You can’t expect the freedom
when you’re living in the past but…

Where are you now
(Repeat x 2)

I know I should have said goodbye so many years ago
but now for some old reason I just can’t let go
I know there is an answer
but i’ll be damned if I know what it is
I see you every night
You’re a supernatural sight

I know that things can never last
You can’t expect the freedom
if you’re living in your past but…

Where are you now

(Repeat)

From Now On

Your foolish pride
that you use as your defence
as you decide
without shame or consequence

Will you question your belief
or the company you keep
when the soldiers
come to haunt you in your sleep

From now on you’ll understand
as the people make their stand
after suffering in silence for so long

From now on I think you’ll find
that the people speak their mind
After all, it is their right to right your wrong
From now on

The great divide
The politics of us and them
The nonchalance
at the blood and tears of men

Such a blindness to regret
just like Marie Antoinette
Sitting high up on your chair
you think’s your throne

From now on you’ll understand
as the people make their stand
after suffering in silence for so long

From now on I think you’ll find
that the people speak their mind
After all, it is their right to right your wrong
From now on
From now on

From now on your wicked ways and foolish days are numbered now
and let’s hope to god that we are not too late
From now on no sad goodbyes from those people you despise
as we look up to the skies and celebrate

From now on you’ll understand
as the people make their stand
after suffering in silence for so long

From now on I think you’ll find
you have lost your fucking mind
When all you do is drop another bomb

Life’s A Mystery

The more you know it
Then the less you get
You’re left bewildered
That’s a sure fire bet

All this push and pulling
Could really tire you out
Trying to find the answer
To what this world’s about

And it makes me wonder what the hell is going on
And it makes me wonder how we’ve been going for so long

Life’s a mystery, a mystery to me
Just a history in the making
Life’s a mystery
I guess it’s just the way it’s going to be
Like rivers to the sea
Life’s a mystery

I’ve been falling over
and i’m on my knees
If someone’s got the answer
won’t they tell me please

We think of freedom
but we’re mice in a maze
We all just pay the price
of what the postman, the man says

And it makes me wonder what the hell is going on
And it makes me wonder how we’ve been going for so long

Life’s a mystery, a mystery to me
Just a history in the making
Life’s a mystery
I guess it’s just the way it’s going to be
Like rivers to the sea

The risks we’re taking
God is faking
And the devil wants to play
The ship is sinking
And we’re not thinking about
the mines we lay where children play
to find some day amongst
the hedgerows

Life’s a mystery, a mystery to me
Just a history in the making
Life’s a mystery
I guess it’s just the way it’s going to be
Like rivers to the sea
Life’s a mystery

Sundancer

She don’t tie her hair
Let it fall around her
Silhouette against the sun
She could be the only one

You might understand
if it was in your hand
Floating free, that floaty dress
In that moment you transgress

She don’t care about a thing
’til the clouds come tumbling in

Sundancer, sundancer
Sundance your way back home to me
for sure, from distant shores

Only gods can see
The joy inside her tears
Diamonds falling to the sand
Takes away the pain of years

And the world’s a better place
when the sun shines on her face

Sundancer, sundancer
Sundance your way back home to me
for sure, from distant shores
Sundancer, sundancer
Sundance your way back home to me
for sure, from distant shores

And I will stay and watch her turn a pirouette
And maybe the sun won’t want to set

Sundancer, sundancer
sundance your way back home to me
for sure, from distant shores

(Repeat)

Stay With Me Tonight

I’ve been sitting here just thinking for a while
Something ’bout the way you move, there’s something ’bout your smile
I’ve been sitting here just watching for some time
Trying to find an answer, I’ve been looking for a sign

But I don’t care
I’ll take the dare

‘Cos I never would forgive myself if I don’t let you know
So hello

And I really like the way you do your hair
I like the way you dress, the clothes you wear
And I guess you never know but you just might
Won’t you stay with me tonight

And I don’t think that I have seen you here before
I guess it was my lucky day
when you walked through the door
And maybe you are thinking the same thing
And maybe we can get out of this bar we’re drinking in

I hope you don’t mind if I speak my mind
‘cos I never would forgive myself if I don’t let you know
So hello

And I really like the way you do your hair
I like the way you dress, the clothes you wear
And I guess you never know but you just might
Won’t you stay with me tonight

Won’t you stay with me tonight
(Repeat x 3)
Won’t you stay with me…

And I really like the way you do your hair
I like the way you dress, the clothes you wear
And I guess you never know but you just might
Won’t you stay with me tonight

Won’t you stay with me tonight

All You Need

Take a bit of time out
Search your feelings
Find your feelings
To find your way home

For a new world
For a new world

And you can’t see nothing with your head in the sand
And you can’t learn nothing if you don’t understand
And you can’t help nothing if you don’t lend a hand
Because love is all, love is all you need

For what it’s worth
take a step away from that door
You know you know it won’t lead there
Sure fire, sure fire

And you can’t see nothing with your head in the sand
And you can’t learn nothing if you don’t understand
And you can’t help nothing if you don’t lend a hand
Because love is all, love is all you need

Do I, do I, oh I, oh I
(repeat x3)

And you can’t see nothing with your head in the sand
And you can’t learn nothing if you don’t understand
And you can’t help nothing if you don’t lend a hand
Because love is all, love is all you need

(Repeat)

Kitty

Kitty she sits by the window
watching the world go by
She looks down and searches for princes
and tries to catch their eye

She bears her soul when she is smiling
knowing that she might fall
And she gives everything in the hope that he’ll bring
the final curtain call

She don’t want all those cheap airs and graces
for everyone to see
All she wants is for someone to love her
Well now Kitty that man is me

Kitty you’re one in a million
A million reasons why
I can’t seek to name every one now
even if I try

Kitty don’t want airs and graces
for everyone to see
All she wants is for someone to love her
Well now Kitty that man is me

And I doubt you’ll remember
that time in December
sitting outside that cafe
I would walk by and I’d
desperately try to find
words that I could say

Kitty don’t want airs and graces
for everyone to see
All she wants is for someone to love her
Well now Kitty that man is me
