-01 My Favourite Faded Fantasy-
　　
You could be my favourite taste to touch my tongue
I know someone who could serve me love but it wouldn't fill me up
You could have my favourite face and favourite name
I know someone who could play the part but it wouldn't be the same
No. It wouldn't be the same
No. It wouldn't be the same
No. It wouldn't be the same… as with you
　　
You could be my favourite place I've ever been
I got lost in your willingness to dream within the dream
You could be my favourite faded fantasy
I have hung my happiness upon what it all could be
On what it all could be
What it all, what it all could be
On what it all, what it all could be
On what it all, what it all could be.. with you
　　
You could hold the secrets that save me from myself
I could love you more than love could, all the way from hell
And you could be my poison, my cross, my razor blade
I could love you more than life if I wasn’t so afraid
Of what it all could be
What it all, what it all could be
Of what it all, what it all could be
Of what it all, what it all could be.. with you
　　
I have never loved another like you
Loving you loving loving loving loving you
loving you loving love
　　
　　
-02 It Takes A Lot to Know A Man-
　　
It takes a lot to know a man
It takes a lot to understand
The warrior, the sage, the little boy enraged
　　
It takes a lot to know a woman
A lot to understand what’s humming
The honey bee, the sting, the little girl with wings
　　
It takes a lot to give, to ask for help, to be yourself, to know and love what you live with
It takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feel the slow reveal of what another body needs
　　
It takes a lot to know a man
A lot to know to understand
The father and the son, the hunter and the gun
　　
It takes a lot to know a woman
A lot to comprehend what’s coming
The mother and the child, the muse and the beguiled
　　
It takes a lot to give, to ask for help, to be yourself, to know and love what you live with
It takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feel the slow reveal of what another body needs
　　
You keep digging. You keep digging.
What are you so afraid to lose?
What is it you’re thinking that will happen if you do?
　　
You wrote me to tell me you’re nervous and you are sorry.
Crying like a baby saying ‘this thing is killing me’
I t takes a lot to know a man
What is it you carry on your back?
What is it you notice when you know you can’t relax?
　　
　　
-03 The Greatest Bastard-
　　
I made you laugh. I made you cry. I made you open up your eyes, didn't I?
I helped you open out your wings, your legs and many other things didn't I?
Am I the greatest bastard that you know, the only one who let you go,
Or the one you hurt so much you cannot bare?
We were good when we were good, when we were not misunderstood.
　　
You helped me love. You helped me live. You helped me learn how to forgive, didn't you?
I wish that I could say the same but when you left you left the blame, didn't you?
Am I the greatest bastard that you met, the only one you can’t forget.
Am I the one your truth’s been waiting for?
Or am I just dreaming once again
Some dreams are better when they end
　　
Some make it. Mistake it. Some force and some will fake it.
I never meant to let you down.
Some fret it. Forget it. Some ruin and some regret it.
I never meant to let you down.
　　
We learned to wag and tuck our tails. We learned to win and then to fail, didn't we?
We learned that lovers love to sing, and that losers love to cling, didn't we?
Am I the greatest bastard that you know, when will we learn to let this go?
We fought so much we've broken all the charm.
But letting go is not the same as pushing someone else away.

So please don’t let on you don’t know me.
Please don’t let on I’m not here.
Please don’t let on you don’t love me.
Because I know you do. I know.
　　
Some make it. Mistake it. Some force and some will fake it.
I never meant to let you down.
Some fret it. Forget it. Some ruin and some regret it.
I never meant to let you down.
I never meant…
　　
　　
-04 I Don’t Want to Change You-
　　
Wherever you are, know that I adore you
No matter how far, I can go before you
And if ever you need someone, not that you need helping
But if ever you want someone, know that I am willing
I don’t want to change you. I don’t want to change your mind
I just came across a manger, out among the danger, somewhere in a stranger’s eye
　　
Wherever you go, I can always follow.
I can feed this real slow, if it’s a lot to swallow.
If you just want to be alone, I can wit without waiting
If you want me to let this go, I am more than willing

Cause I don’t want to change. I don’t want to change your mind
I just came across a manger, out among the danger, somewhere in a stranger’s eye.
I don’t want to change. I don’t want to change your mind
I just came across a manger, out among the danger, somewhere in a stranger’s eye.

I’d never been with anyone in the way I’d been with you
But if love is not for fun then it’s doomed cause
Water races. Water races down. The water falls.
The water races. Water races down the waterfall

And I don’t want to change. I don’t want to change your mind
I just came across a manger, out among the danger, where love has eyes – it is not blind
　　
　　
-05 Colour Me In-
　　
I tried to repress it, then I carried it’s crown
I reached out to undress it and love let me down
So I tried to erase it but the ink bled right through
Almost drove myself crazy when these words led to you
And all these useless dreams of living long like a dogless bone
So come let me love you and then… colour me in
　　
I tried to control it and cover it up
I reached out to console it –it was never enough
So I tried to forget it –that was all part of the show
Told myself I’d regret it but what do I know
About all these useless dreams of living long like a dogless bone
So come let me love you and then… colour me in

Come let me love you
Come let me take this through the end of all
These useless dreams of living in all
These useless dreams
All these useless dreams of living in all these old noes
So come let me love you
Come let me in
　　
　　
-06 The Box-
　　
Don’t give me something to hold in my hand
Something else to believe in
‘cause I’m over it
And your reasons for wanting to stay
Your reasons for wanting to change
My reasons for everything are dull to you
I have tried but I don’t fit into this box I’m living with
I could go wild but you might lock me up
I have tried but I don’t fit into this box I’m living with
I could go wild and free but god, forbid then you might envy me
　　
So don’t give me love with an old books of rules
That kind of love’s just for fools
And I’m over it
My reasons for walking away
My reasons for wanting to change
My reasons for everything are lost with you
　　
I have tried but I don’t fit into this box I’m living with
I could go wild but you might lock me up
I have tried but I don’t fit into this box I’m living with
I could go wild and free but god, forbid then you might envy me
　　
I could be wild an free
Well, God forbid. Then you might…
　　
　　
-07 Trusty and True-
　　
We've wanted to be trusty and true
But feathers fell from our wings
And we've wanted to be worthy of you
But weather rained on our dreams
And we can’t take back what is done, what is past
So, fellas, lay down your fears
‘cause we can’t take back what is done, what is past
So, let us start from here.
　　
‘cause we never wanted to be lusty or lewd
Nor tethered to prudish strings
And e never wanted to be jealously tuned
Nor withered into ugly things
But we can’t take back what is done, what is past
So, fellas, lay down your spears
‘cause we can’t take back what is done, what is past
So, let us start from here
　　
And if all that you are is not all you desire
Then, come. Come alone. Come with fear. Come with love. Come however you are
Just come. Come alone. Come with friends. Come with foes. Come however you are
Just come. Come let yourself be wrong. Come it’s already begun.
Come alone. Come with me. Then let go. Come however you are.
Just come. Come alone. Come so carefully closed. Come however your are.
Just come. Come along. Come with sorrows and songs. Come however you are.
Just come. Come along. Come let yourself be wrong. Come however your are
Just come
　　

-08 Long Long Way-
　　
Long long way to the top
Long long way if you fall
And it’s a long way back if you get lost
　　
Long way out to the end
Long way to go to lose your friends
And it’s a long way to haul
All the traps you've trawled
When you could just stop and let go
　　
But you say
‘not now, maybe later…
But not now, maybe later…
Maybe wait…’
　　
You’re only in your way
You’re only in your way
　　
Love is tough when enough is not enough
Not enough
Not enough
