24 HOURS
(words: DREW /music: ALEXANDER/DREW)
twenty-four hours that’s the wav that i kill time /twentv-four hours that’s the way that i kill time/and now it’s 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 can’t hold you and you don’t want to know/just twenty-four hours it seems so long to go /and now it’s lying on the floor /the only thing i wanted time for/and now your fall has crossed my eyes /it’s so transformed I’m redefined/and I’m lost in my mind when there can be no/answers for the twenty-four hours i killed/and I’d kill again with time /I’d 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 you’re flirting and you’re waiting/and you’re flírting with life/so you take your hands and you get unsure /and you’re wondering what was the fighting for/and now you say that you care about this /and you’re thinking about the way it was /you’re 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 I’m 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 can’t 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 don’t change you only get one chance then that’s that/and the water could be anything /but mostly it’s 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 don’t change you only get one chance then that’s that/and the wine dark shines as black as coal and the world won’t 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 children’s 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 I’ll never fight like this again/ I’ll never make you understand I’ll 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 we’re waiting on the corner waiting for your life/and all you really wanted cuts you líke a knife/that’s because yeah /don’t you know the reasons /don’t you know it’s treason/you can’t say that’s justified /and i know the reasons why you came/now things will never be the same/now you gave into your life/you we’re 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 I’m turning out i don’t 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 I’m turning out i don’t 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 I’m turning out i don’t 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 I’d be just like you/but i don't want to be like you.....I don't want to feel like/ Ican see the way I’m turning out i don’t want to be like you/i can see the way I’m turning out i don’t want to be like you
EVERYTHING
(words: DREW music: ALEXANDER)
place your hands in the air doesn’t matter anywhere/don’t you know you mean everything /'place your hands at your feet doesn’t matter very deep/you condemn but you don’t understand/place yourself in the crowd doesn’t matter very loud/don’t you know you mean everything /place you hands in the air doesn’t matter anywhere/you condemn but you don’t understand....... and keep on walking/place your hands in the air doesn’t matter anywhere/don’t you know you mean everything /place your hands at your feet doesn’t matter very deep/you condemn but you don’t understand
ONSLAUGHT
(words: DREW music: ALEXANDER/DREW)
when you say it tell me it’s forever /and when you say it tell me it’s 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 that’s 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 you’ll realise that they’ll stand in your way/place your nose onto the grindstone /and hold your head up high/take those fascist dreams and burn them/ don’t 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 you’d 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 /you’ll realise that they’ll 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 don’t know the way it feels/but sometimes it seems so real/i don’t 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 don’t know the way it feels/but sometimes it seems so real/i don’t know the way it feels
