watching me
i can see therell be another day somewhere i can find my way but you know theres someone watching me and i think that i can find somewhere there is piece of mind but you know theres someone watching me and i had the dream shining out just like a bats stream but you know theres something that i cant see and i knew i was living there and just because you know theres someone watching me so i look around but it cant be found but its somewhere you can spend my time while i drink my wine looking somewhere
and im thinking i can find a space somewhere i can hide my face but you know theres someone watching me and you know i think ill find washed upon the shores of my mind but you know theres someone watching me and i had the dream shining out just like a bats stream but you know theres something that i cant see and i knew i was living there and just because you know theres someone watching me so i look around but it cant be found but its somewhere you can spend my time while i drink my wine looking somewhere

when liberty smiles
i drank the moonshine and i listened to the talk i knew it wouldnt last but i didnt want to stop and in the streets at night the colours are so pale and the shadows keep their own alive as they drive you like a nail
said about the lucky land of the greenback and dime take a walk in your own backyard before you take a walk in mine i see your roads are paved but it sure dont look like gold and and i knew it was the only way it was the easytrucking motherf@*!ing only way and i can see the way you lie i can read between the lines i can see it in your eyes
so when the call came thru and i didnt wanna go i dug my heels in tight but i was dragging by my soul and liberty smiled at me a face so pure and wise and i knew it was the only way it was the easytrucking motherf@*!ing only way and i can see the way you lie i can read between the lines i can see it in your eyes words:drew music: alexander/drew
sleep
now the sun is gone and the sleep is has fallen from my eyes been asleep for days i can feel my soul returning from the skies when i came down i never thought id be seeing what i saw skin so white and pale i thought id have it all
when it came around to them i thought it was a sign when it came around again i dreamt that it was mine but it never was what i thought it was never what they said that it would be and i could never understand cause it burned inside of me now i walk these streets so many goddamn days and it aint no use trying to live another way
now the sun is gone and the sleep is has fallen from my eyes been asleep for days i can feel my soul returning from the skies well i held it all and let it slip away and i held my breath i prayed that it would stay and ill never understand you get pushed so many ways now i walk these streets so many goddamn days & it aint no use trying to live another way and you buy your sleep just to ease the time away but it aint no good striving for another way words & music:drew
feel alright
well theres something gonna be going on here in my room i get the notion that its getting stockpiling to get away soon i feel the pressure start to build and baby its blowing your way and if you think you got the game youll be getting some play because yeah we gotta get away we gotta break today ill make you feel alright
if theres one thing i know ill tell ya i know it for sure i got a lion in my pocket and baby its ready to roar and if the tamers not around yno itll be looking to feed and after its had a taste itll be looking to breed because yeah we gotta get away we gotta break today ill make you feel alright
words: drew music:alexander
when worlds collide
walking i saw your eyes and you never smiled for a moment walking i saw your eyes and i waited for a smile your eyes seemed to carry all my fears and my hopes and in your frozen mirror i saw the man that id been searchin for and i smiled at the joining of forces in one perfect passing and dreams had been realized in a twinking in a moment that moment called mine
your eyes carried furs and gold and all the dreams id hoped for and all the lives that crossed your path your eyes carried all my hopes and dreams for a moment
your eyes your smile your time and im dreaming of hearts held in your hands in your eyes
words: drew/harvey music: alexander/drew
red lights
questions are banging at my head and answers dont seem to make no sense and its daylight and i got no place to go if its alright can i sit a while and watch in slo-mo and i can see the red lights shining on your face and i can see the red lights shining on your face
and then you came and you tried to trap my soul with just one touch well that werent enough i wanted more and im punch drunk and now ill have to move it and then youll know that i got a suck and then ill groove it and i can see the red lights shining on your face and i can see the red lights shining on your face
and she takes me and she strips me to the bone and i cant win cause i know im never gonna have to live alone and im punchdrunk and now ill have to move it and then youll say that i sucked you in and spat you out cause I could see the red lights shining on your face and i can see the red lights shining on your face words & music: drew

whats goin on
well im looking for something more and you aint got what im looking for well you knew what you were doing in the back of the store and what was going down when we crossed over the floor was it the only way that the shit could have gone? my eyes were red as blood as we limped thru the morning raking thru the pain we were shot by the hourglass salt and sand and paste was cracked at the shows last glimmer of the light and the story that coulda been take a look around and see what you shoulda seen and can you see whats goin on behind your fears and can you see whats goin on for all those years
and what about that time when we were crossing the line and crashing thru the door and the breaking of time dont think we can replace what the countryman stole we didnt even try to hit on the dole our living was a crime when we drove to the north shore i had no idea what we were even alive for look around and see for the story that shoulda been take a look around and see what you shoulda seen and can you see whats goin on behind your fears and can you see whats goin on for all those years and can you see whats goin on and can you feel your life so strong and can you see whats goin on behind your fears words:drew music:alexander/drew

24 HOURS
(words: DREW music: ALEXANDER/DREW)
twenty-four hours thats the wav that i kill time /twentv-four hours thats the way that i kill time/and now its lying on the floor/the only thing i wanted time for/when you were last here your blood touched the floor/bittersweet memories dogs howl at your door/and i cant hold you and you dont want to know/just twenty-four hours it seems so long to go /and now its lying on the floor /the only thing i wanted time for/and now your fall has crossed my eyes /its so transformed Im redefined/and Im lost in my mind when there can be no/answers for the twenty-four hours i killed/and Id kill again with time /Id kill again with time
TO THE SHORE
(words: DREW music: ALEXANDER/LEE)
gonna take your hands welcome to the shore /and listen to the things that make you want to know/and youre flirting and youre waiting/and youre flírting with life/so you take your hands and you get unsure /and youre wondering what was the fighting for/and now you say that you care about this /and youre thinking about the way it was /youre thinking about the was it should have been/waiting on the shoreline with the wave in your hair /you know the colours right the colour had transformed/the scars were left before ./watching every shoreline it was the waiting that hurt/it was the scars were left too bare/and Im waiting on the shoreline/there was nobody there to help you/crosses made to bear/crosses made to bear/you made them to bear
T.S. (was it really me?)
(words & music: DREW)
Where did you go and who did you see /what did i do and what did i be /turn of the century cities of grey /work becomes lives and lives becomes graves/and i wonder was it really me/and i wonder was it really me/dissatisfaction with cities of grey/using a pen to look for escape/years move quickly and no-ones to blame/lives without hope and we just cant cope/and i wonder was it really me /and i wonder was it really me/he was a brave man braver than me/i tried the lock but he had the key/opened our hearts and opened our minds /using a pen his life became mine/and i wonder was it really me/and i wonder was it really me
WINE DARK SEA
(words: DREW
music: ALEXANDER/LEE/ HERNŔNDEZ)
i stand alone by the waters edge/ my feet are buried in the sand/and the water could be anything /as it lines this dusty land/if i could start again would it mean much more than that /cause the world dont change you only get one chance then thats that/and the water could be anything /but mostly its just mud /red dust sits on the city streets/ creates an epidemic flood /with the rising blood of future kings /shines as black as coal/the politic of the underling/ with no hope at all/if i could start again would it mean much more than that /cause the world dont change you only get one chance then thats that/and the wine dark shines as black as coal and the world wont change/you hold the promised land but is slips right through like sand
FACE A NEW DAY
(words: DREW/HARVEY music: ALEXANDER/DREW)
face a new day face the sun/ cannons firing lives exploding /pray for time and pray for god /miracles are all we can hope for /lust reloads the guns of war /and bludgeoned minds repeat the orders die for country die for greed /we die for leaders sowing seeds of power/and all of us are powerless/ in our innocence from their decisions /taking lives and taking ours/ to scar the hills with small white crosses /horizons line the sky with fires/ that burn in the childrens tortured dreaming /of why we came and the lies we gave/face a new day face the sun/ face the truth of our submission /slaughtering to liberate /we chain the freedom of our thinking /horizons line the sky with fire/ and line the burning conscíence of our crime/ of why we came and the lives we gave
YEARS GO BY
(words: DREW music ALEXANDER)
well i listen to the stories that you tell/ lived a life on earth in hell/i can see this in your eyes /and i know the reasons why you came/had to justify the blame /of why you gave into yourself/you were waiting on the corner waiting for your life/and i know Ill never fight like this again/ Ill never make you understand Ill never take it in my arms /and i know the reasons why you came you had to justify the blame/ of why you gave into your arm/you were waiting on the corner waiting for your life/and all you really wanted cuts you líke a knife/thats because yeah /dont you know the reasons /dont you know its treason/you cant say thats justified /and i know the reasons why you came/now things will never be the same/now you gave into your life/you were waiting on the corner waiting for your life/and all you really wanted cuts you like a knife/how the years go by how the years go by/how the years go by and on and on and on
LIKE YOU
(words & music: DREW)
i can see the way Im turning out i dont want to be like you/with the breeze in your hair you never seem to care and/in another country you take what you can get /ruin, rape and plunder . westernising the modern world and i am the exponent/i can see the way Im turning out i dont want to be like you/stuck on shore a couple of thousand whores and/in another country you take what you can get /with the breeze in your hair you never seem to care /and we ride as we write on those four walls that/i can see the way Im turning out i dont want to be like you/so we took this as far as we could take it/ it changed us all inside/and i knew that when i looked back at today / that Id be just like you/but i don't want to be like you.....I don't want to feel like/ Ican see the way Im turning out i dont want to be like you/i can see the way Im turning out i dont want to be like you
EVERYTHING
(words: DREW music: ALEXANDER)
place your hands in the air doesnt matter anywhere/dont you know you mean everything /'place your hands at your feet doesnt matter very deep/you condemn but you dont understand/place yourself in the crowd doesnt matter very loud/dont you know you mean everything /place you hands in the air doesnt matter anywhere/you condemn but you dont understand....... and keep on walking/place your hands in the air doesnt matter anywhere/dont you know you mean everything /place your hands at your feet doesnt matter very deep/you condemn but you dont understand
ONSLAUGHT
(words: DREW music: ALEXANDER/DREW)
when you say it tell me its forever /and when you say it tell me its now/so many broken dreams are washed upon the shore/if you had access to them what would you live for/the struggle seems to be the only thing thats right/so take this farce charade and hold onto your life/and just keep fighting/take the time to think about it take the time to say /take the time to dream about/ it youll realise that theyll stand in your way/place your nose onto the grindstone /and hold your head up high/take those fascist dreams and burn them/ dont leave them to die/I've seen it on the TV /I've seen it in your eyes/if you want to cope with life youd better fucking try/just fuck all the fighting/take the time to think about it /take the time to say /take the time to dream about it /youll realise that theyll stand in your way
THE JOURNEY
(Words: DREW music ALEXANDER/LEE/HERNANDEZ)
catch a shooting star from the sky/catch a shooting star from the sky/cause........./I dont know the way it feels/but sometimes it seems so real/i dont know the way it feels/catch a shooting star from the sky/catch a shooting star from the sky/catch a shooting star from the sky/catch a shooting star from the sky/i almost held it in my hand/i could smell the foreign land/as we marched across the sand/catch a shooting star from the sky/catch a shooting star from the sky/catch a shooting star from the sky/catch a shooting star from the sky/ hey yeah......../i dont know the way it feels/but sometimes it seems so real/i dont know the way it feels
