Verse 1
Can you tell me what we're searching for
is it love or the feeling of something more
cos trying to find peace today
is like trying to find a needle in a bale of hay
Verse 2
You won't find it in the things that you buy
in fact the more that you spend only widens the mile
it isn't easy but you have to try
your first port of call is to open your eyes
Chorus
Life in the west is a life that you can't sustain
taking more than you need but you never replace
what's it going to take for you to change your ways
I guess when you start to feel the pain that your feel so far away
Verse 3
can you tell me who you're fighting for
is it for queen and for country or the love of war
but what's a man supposed to do
if you can't believe a word that they're telling you
Verse 4
Well it's enough to drive a man insane
as they whisper in the ear of your reptile brain
forget the things you think you know
and lift up the veil and enjoy the show
Chorus
Verse 5
Can you tell me who you're working for
is it for you or a system that's inherently flawed
forget the things you think you've heard
and lift up the veil and spread the word of love
Chorus

they can tell what she'a all about
she snaps her fingers and the men reply
cos she's the kind of girl that makes you feel alive

Sammy you know she always gets her guy
no pint in asking the reasons why
she'll drive you crazy and that'a no lie
cos she's the kind of girl that makes you feel alive

Verse 1
Can't someone tell me the reason why
I'm on this carousel of nine to five
I don't think one to ones are really my style
so you won't be seeing me for a while

I don't want no more and I will take it from here, I will take it from here

I've found another way to live my life
you can't have my soul but keep my P45
Chorus
Verse 4
Can't someone tell me the reason why
I'm on this carousel of nine to five

Dear David

Verse 1
How can you really say
that you speak for the people
when a man like you has never met a single one
Verse 2
It's hard to here you speak
behind your silver spoon
do you still sleep knowing you have taken it all
Chorus
we see you switching your demeanor when the cameras go on
promising to sing a new hymen but it's the same old song
Verse 3
Are there still glimmers of
a boy that you once knew
or have you always been the man you see every day
Verse 4
the life of which you came
it aint like mine I know
doesn't mean I can't see you for who you really are
Chorus
just because you don't wear a tie doesn't make you one of us
we always see you cycling by but never taking the bus
your policies will whither and change and so will you
look at it from somebody else's point of view
Verse 5
How can you really say
that you speak for the people
when a man like you has never met a single one
Chorus
we see you switching your demeanor when the cameras go on
promising to sing a new hymen but it's the same old song

Verse 1
let me tell you a story about a lady from the south
her heart was pure but she's insecure all the money has all run out
so she got herself a job pouring drinks both night and day
until she slowly released that her life was slipping away just slipping away
Verse 2
five years pass and nothings changed pouring drinks both day and night
until one time a man walked in and said is everything alright
she said hell no man I just can't stand the life that i posses
I'm drenched in fear and close to tears and my mind it just won't rest well it just wont rest
Verse 3
he said lady I've got the very thing to turn your life around
it's 20 a bag you just take it back and then you lay down on your couch
play music that will turn you on and let the melody take your soul
far away to a better place and your mind will soon follow it will soon follow
Verse 4
I'll do those things that you suggest said the lady to the man
two weeks time and her life seems fine ad she's got her little self a plan
she'll fly way were the weather is warm and lay down on the sand
doing that as the music passes through her soul thanking the man, thanking the man
it's the lady and the man, it's the lady and the man, it's the lady and the man

What You Mean To Me

Verse 1
I don't know what it was that made me think of you
how I wonder where you are and who you're with and what you do
Verse 2
I guess it was regret that made me think of you
how I wish I understood, then the things that I know now
Verse 3
Now what you meant to me, it made me feel so free
but I was blind to see that you were always there for me
Verse 4
But what you mean to me is a name on the wind
a voice that I can hear, and I wonder if you hear me
