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
