Highly Disgraced 02:52
lyrics
Some want a lift up to heaven Borne aloft on silent truths But your time is a gift worth giving And that's just what you do So you're rollin' You're rollin' From one bar to the next Thoughts stolen Never knowing What we've come to expect From the highly disgraced Round here the buck stops with no-one It makes its tired way round All our hopes they add up to nothing They never make a sound Still we're rollin' We're rollin' From one town to the next Thoughts stolen Never knowing What we've come to expect From the highly disgraced
2.
Bonnie & Clyde 03:06
lyrics
We're living east of Eden Cut off all our ties Got pushed by friends down these dead ends So we found a compromise We're getting back to nature Reaching for the sky And your desires are the copper wires That set me alight Our conversations are running dry You don't need a reason to throw me a line They frown & say we act like Bonnie & Clyde Well they can eat their words & shut their eyes 'Cause I would never let you down Even when we're in the wrong We made our choice & took a stand For worse or better We'll pick a destination Somewhere they'll never find And that aside I have to say I don't have much in mind We'll blaze a constellation A trail across the sky We'll shine until we burn away It's you & me for life Our conversations are running dry You don't need a reason to drop me a line They laugh & say we act like Bonnie & Clyde Well they can eat their words & shut their eyes 'Cause I would never let you down Even when we're in the wrong We made our choice & took a stand For worse or better
3.
The Longshot 05:03
lyrics
Calculating the ways that you trip over your shoes In the depths of your blues you find ways to correct your steps Throw ideas to the board and you pray hard that one sticks Ignoring the quick fix in favour of something that's truly real When your reach exceeds your grasp don't you let go Passing buckets to form a chain why you don't know Time expanding for me down the track of my one choice I hear my own voice dispelling the rumours that snipe away Everyone's tempted to go for the longshot
4.
Across the Wire 04:36
lyrics
I took a picture for you I watched all the colours explode in your hand You kept the memory buried deep in the sand A great emancipation No longer bound by the thoughts in your head You run through the city far from your bed So you tune in the station and shut all your doors And be shorn of your fair weather friends The ones truly connected to you are out there Across the wire You showed me your journal Profiles and pages too many to count Laid out before me I set them down I sent you a message I called out your name and it flew through the dark Electromagnetic a fading spark So get yourself connected and ignore the fakes And be sure that you're not on your own Those who really can understand you are just waiting Across the wire So don't be mistaken you're only just waking To see it all merge into one Reach out through the airwaves and I'll be beside you Across the wire
