New Year Reflection Song Blowbacks and bongs, kicking back, trading songs In a bedsit in a humble part of town Long afternoons, singing long lost tunes If only we had taken time to nail them down We didn't stay in touch like we said we would Maybe I could have done more, it's true A lone star shining brightly in a sinister sky Is how I always will remember you Im always amazed by your flair on the green baize You always hold your nerve to see it out In sticky situations, intense complications You'll save the day, it never was in doubt Yours is the number that i'd always call, if my life was on the line On more than one of my crashes, you picked up my pieces, You've always been a friend of mine Through all of the good days, those heartbreaking sad days You'll always be a friend of mine Do me a favour, pass this message on. Tell your sister i'm doing fine She was there at the start, and lives on in my heart And she'll always be a friend of mine Motorway madness, frustration and sadness As time began to steal what could have been Busted guitars, one too many jaded bars In the best band that nobody's ever seen My thoughts drift back I hear a ringing chord that gets me each and every time To everybody in the band, let me shake you by the hand You will always be a friend of mine It's cold and empty on this stage, Though now we're on a different page You will always be a friend of mine And through every mistake that we've watched each other make You will always be a friend of mine

The Girl Who's Never Satisfied The girl who's never satisfied Was playing a 'bit part' in my life Now I'm thinking about her day and night I can't hold back, I'm hypnotised Today's a disappointment, yesterday's long gone Tomorrow waits for her, but won't be waiting long She breathes the whole thing in, in time for moving on But when the whole world loves her How can I hope to keep her? How can I ever hope to make it through? But you can't blame me for trying It won't stop me from trying The girl who's never satisfied Her intentions will not be denied No one's turned her down, though some have tried So many tried, so few survived The sunday morning sun comes streaming in the room She comes alive at night, sleeps 'til the afternoon I can't help thinking it's too much, too fast, too soon 'Cos when the whole world loves her How can I hope to keep her? How can I ever hope to make it through? But you can't blame me for trying It won't stop me from trying Stay for a while, in a sympathetic smile.. Smile? Smile! The girl who's never satisfied's Got nothing left to analyse And though I'm thinking about her day and night Before too long she'll say goodbye Goodbye? Goodbye..

Countdown From Ten Is this the first day of summer? It's been a long time coming 'round Singing with the Lovin' Spoonful On a slow coach into town I'll get around to doing tomorrow All the things i didn't do today It's gonna be a good tomorrow I know it's gonna be okay Close your eyes count down from ten It's make your mind up time again To let you stay or let you go? I made my mind up long ago They call him mr charisma He hasn't said a single word all day! He's always wanted to be somebody's boss He's always wanted to lead the way I'm gonna tell him tomorrow All the things i didn't say today I wasn't really born to follow I wasn't ever really meant to stay Close your eyes count down from ten It's make your mind up time again You never were. you'll never know That i made my mind up long ago I've been everyone and everywhere Somehow i've always been in between I've been as broken As the ten commandments Had my day on the silver screen I'm gonna buy back tomorrow All the things i had to sell today It's going to be a good tomorrow Everything is gonna be okay Close your eyes count down from ten It's make your mind up time again You never were. you'll never know That i made my mind up long ago I wanted her to look me over But in the end i was overlooked Can still see her there, Second row from the back With her head in a trashy book I brushed her out with the cobwebs Couldn't live with her honest face Now i'm still in the same house But now i live in a different place

The Lookout Man Daydream about the things I left behind Got all the best bits underlined Hair chestnut red, pale skin enshrined Lost weeks and wasted days We'd fall asleep, fall asleep in the sun i've counted every blade of grass And each shredded cloud that ambles past My post above this mountain pass There's nothing happening here I almost fall, fall asleep in the sun Memories of home keep me awake No sleep at all for four days straight Not hateful, what is there to hate? I don't hate anything I don't hate anything Numb to the helicopter blade Close to a hundred in the shade My dry lips dream of lemonade Ice cold I wish that I could fall asleep Fall asleep in the sun They send me up here late at night Got natural telescopic sight I can see for miles when the moon is right Wonder who's looking out for me
