Shed Seven

You are my guiding light
And you're shining brighter
You shine like tokyo
It's getting better all the time
And the hills are alive
With the sound of music
It's getting better all the time
It's getting better all the time
I've got my wings and I can fly
I will fly to you
You are my one ambition
Show me your recognition


It's getting better all the time

A nod's as good a wink
No matter what you're thinking
You are the missing link
It's getting better all the time
And the streets are alive
With the sound of music
It's getting better all the time
I could take you to work
And show you some of my perks
It's getting better all the time

There are things that I regret
Like being called a nervous wreck
And working up another sweat for you
There's nothing that I can do
For counterparts and bleeding hearts
And all the things that fall apart for you
I don't keep my secrets there
I hide them everywhere
I could deny
But I'll never realise
I'm just chasing rainbows
All the time


I could deny
But I'll never realise
I've been chasing rainbows
All my life

And then I missed my cue
Everybody had a laugh
And then went for an early bath
Did you
I don't keep my secrets there
I hide them everywhere

Will there be another breakdown? (Lost in your words)
Communication is a let down (In your own world... speakeasy)
When you speak is it easy? (Lost in your words)
You're trying too hard to please me (In your own world)

Speakeasy, easy

I know what you think
I think the same things as you
And do the things that you do
Don't break the habit of a lifetime
You broke the habit of a lifetime
I see through everything you do

Will there ever be a right sound? (Lost in your words)
Communication is a let down (In your own world... speakeasy)
You wouldn't speak for a million (Lost in your words)
Give me your honest opinion (In your own words)

Speakeasy, easy

I know what you think
I think the same things as you
And do the things that you do
Don't break the habit of a lifetime
You broke the habit of a lifetime
I see through everything you do

Talk is cheap
Talk is loud
Communication is a letdown

Speakeasy, easy

I know what you think
I think the same things as you
And do the things that you do
Don't break the habit of a lifetime
You broke the habit of a lifetime
I see through everything you do
I see through everything you do
Don't break the habit of a lifetime
You broke the habit of a lifetime

She left me on friday and ruined my weekend
She thinks we're still best friends she thinks we're still alright

She's playing her mind games got into the fast lane
Drove off to some bright lights

To find out if all the places that shine are anything like mine no no

She left me with no hope it's all gone up in smoke
She didn't invite me rode off with a donkey

To find out if all the places that shine are anything like mine
To find out if all the style she's got s'gonna push her to the top

She left me on friday and put me in limbo


She's stolen my ego and now it's a no go go go go

She left me with no hope it's all gone up in smoke she didn't invite me

To find if all the places that shine are anything like mine
To find out if all the style she's got s'gonna push her to the top
To find out if all the fridays you choose are where you'll still lose

She left me on friday and ruined my weekend
She thinks we're still best friends she thinks we're still alright

To find if all the places that shine are anything like mine
To find out if all the fridays that come are gonna make you feel welcome
To find out if all the style you've got s'gonna push you to the top
To find out if all the fridays you'll choose are where you'll still lose

Would you stay on standby
Because I need another alibi
In the wrong place at the wrong time
Could you talk a fine line
I need to know that I'll be fine
Bulletproof
It's like I've never been born
We conceive in the alleyways
It's like I've never been born
We believe in other ways
That you do and you did
And there's proof that we did wrong tonight

Could you sense a tragedy
Because I saw it on the bbc
There's a panel on that channel
Could you walk a narrow line
I need to know I'll serve my time


With some use

It's like I've never been born
We conceive in the alleyways
It's like I've never been born
We believe in other ways
That you do and you did
And there's proof that we did wrong tonight

And tonight you can cry if you want to
But it won't help you
You can cry if you want to
But it won't help you
To get you through this crime
It will plague you standby

We did wrong we did wrong

Would you give blood if you had any
Would you say I'm good or are there far too many fish in the sea
Won't you please say that again

Shame on you
There's something in my head
And its got its back to me

One day I think you'll sing my praises
But at the moment you're far too lazy to
Get down on your knees
I'm begging please say that again
I'll carry on for as long as I have to
Come round to my house, and I'll show you how to
Get down on your knees
I'm begging please say that again

Shame on you
There's something in my head
And its got its back to me

Would you walk near me if you knew how to
Could I ever see you and do you know how to
Get down on your knees
I'm begging
Please say that again

Shame on you
There's something in my head
And its got its back to me
There's something in my legs
And they never walk to me

Would you give blood if you had any
Would you say I'm good or are there far too many fish in the sea
Won't you please say that again

Shame on you
There's something in my head
And its got its back to me
Shame on you
There's something in my legs
And they never walk to me
Shame on you
There's something in my head
And its got it's back to me

Run a mile run a mile
'cos all the while
You're cramping my style cramp my style
Bleeding me dry
Grab a hold grab a hold
To steady your soul
And test if they're real test for real
All the spotlights you shone to help me
Find needles in the hay
Let them lift away
'cos I've got high hopes
I believe
In the roots that keep me complete
And I've got high hopes
All I need
Is your hands to steady my feet steady my feet

You've sunken low sunken low
Its another swift blow
And I know where you've been where have you
So don't feed off my skin


While I test if they're real test for real
All the stories you told to lift me
When good times went astray
Let them lift away

'cos I've got high hopes
I believe
In the roots that keep me complete
And I've got high hopes
All I need
Is your hands to steady my feet

We will lift away
'cos I've got high hopes
I believe
In the roots that keep me complete
And I've got high hopes
All I need
Is your hands to steady my feet

You knocked me off my feet
And I fell face first on the concrete
I took a blow to the limbs
I didn't even know him
There's no point in hiding
The hate that you confide in
The pain that you call your own
There's no point in shying
From the fists that are flying
The boy is on his own

You looked me in the eye
I bet you thought I was paralysed


I took a blow to the chest
Now I've been underestimated

There's no point in hiding
The hate that you confide in
The pain that you call your own
There's no point in shying
From the fists that are flying
The boy is on his own

I'll fight you to the death
I'll fight you to the death

Have you heard about my screams
Cause I like a drink
And I haven't touched one in weeks
Can the blind see through the eyes
Of a dog or is it just attention I seek
Have you ever known it to be
Because I know you're warming to me
And I know you're waiting you're always ready
You keep your mouth in your backside baby
And you're using it daily in my defense
You wear the devil in your shoes lately
And you're walking all over the times when I've known you
And smiled
Have you burned down to the seams
I'm on my feet
And haven't touched down in weeks


Can the blind see through these eyes
See through the fog or is it just attention I seek
Have you ever known it to be
Because I know your warming to me
And I know you're waiting you're always ready

Have you every known it to be
Because I know you're warming to me
And I know you're waiting you're always ready
And I know you can't keep reeling
From just your own free wheeling
And I know you're waiting you're always ready you see
You wear the devil in your shoes lately
And you're walking all over the times when I've known you
And smiled

What it's like to let the feeling flow
It shakes me cold
In the morning when you're feeling low
You're worth your weight in gold
I can see through
I can see right through you
What's it like to stop and just let go
No heart, no soul
I'm sinking deep I need to feel that glow
You're worth your weight in gold
I need to feel you
I need to feel right through you
Everything here is above board
Everything here is a closed door
There's something I'd like you for
You've got the key to the ocean
You've got the key to the ocean
What's it like to fall and hit the end
To have and to hold
You are my only old friend
You worth the gold I stole
I'd find the right use
If I could cut myself loose
Everything here is above board
Everything here is a closed door
There's something I'd like you for
You've got the key to the ocean
You've got the key to the ocean
I don't need to be
I need to survive
You've got the key
For staying alive
For staying alive
For staying alive
Everything here is above board
Everything here is a closed door
There's something I'd like you for
You've got the key to the ocean
You've got the key to the ocean

Mark my words:
Don't forget where you are
Don't forget who's the star
Do you think that I'll go far
Mark my words:
Don't stop if it's wise
I can see through your eyes
And I've left my mark
Lover
I wanna swap you for another and another
We could mate, we'll make great lovers
Mark my words:
Don't forget who I am
Don't forget I'm a man
Do you think you ever can
Mark my words:
I think it's probably true
Why you think like you do
And I've left my mark forever
Lover
I wanna swap you for another and another
We could mate, we'll make great lovers

Well you could be friends of mine
I see your pondering
But the pleasure will be mine
I do feel hungry even though I've had my share
I'll keep shouting out loud to convert the herd
Got to spread the word to the non believers yeah
And the drummer must try holding times together
Cos the rest of us can keep it tied forever

Feels like I've been to every single disco all around
Another night another town
It's time to burn this disco down
A higher place on higher ground
I've heard the sounds and do you like it now
Another night another town
Its time to burn this disco down

Well you could be magnatised
I know your wondering but for you I will oblige
If you try harder to persist in what you feel then you could push me down
Am I making me heard
Got to spread the word to the disagreers yeah


And the plastic must keep spinning round forever round round
And the memories will flood and keep us together

Feels like I've been to every single disco all around
Another night another town
It's time to burn this disco down
A higher place on higher ground
I've heard the sounds and do you like it now
Another night another town
Its time to burn this disco down

Feels like I've been to every single disco all around
Another night another town
It's time to burn this disco down

Feels like I've been to every single disco all around
Another night another town
It's time to burn this disco down
A higher place on higher ground
I've heard the sounds and do you like it now
Another night another town
Its time to burn this disco down

And it really hurts when I'm thinking about you
my bet is you feel the same
And it just gets worse
all these promises were cruel
but my bet is you will remain
did I ever tell you that you shook me to the bone
When all you did was be yourself
Have I ever told you
That you move the world I'm on
And This is my cry for help

And it really hurts when I'm thinking about you
And I'm still crying from the pain
And it only goes to show that I already know
That I, Yeah I guess you will remain

Did I ever tell you that you shook me to the bone
When all you did was be yourself
Have I ever told you
That you move the world I'm on
And This is my cry for help
And This is my cry for help

And it really hurts when I'm thinking about you
And that don't sit too good with me
And it just gets worse
all them promises so cruel
but my bet is you will remain

did I ever tell you that you brought me to my knees
When all you did was be yourself
Have I ever told you
That you Made my whole world bleed
And This is my cry for help
And This is my cry for help

And it really hurts
But my bet is you will
And this is my Cry For Help
And this is my Cry for help
This is me crying
This is me crying
This is me crying
This is me dying
