Who is Archie Lane? 03:34
lyrics
buy track
I don't like you I don't like you I never did Never kept it hid It's a case of friction A real contradiction A deeper shade of blue Confession of the truth Archie Lane I came here to explain Leaving on a jet plane Never coming back, here You'll get through With everyone around repulsed by you Archie Lane You're a loser Who cares what they're saying? Just as long their paying A permanently plastered Greedy bastard And it's more, more, more Money in the drawer You only care about names Faces in picture frames Archie Lane I came here to explain You'll always be the same A loser You'll get through With everyone around repulsed by you Archie Lane You're a loser I know it means nothing to you But if it's a choice between you and her, Then I choose.. Not you!

Waiting For Your Love 02:59
lyrics
buy track
We struggle on, when all hope in reality's gone, we got it wrong - when we said, that we'd moved on, I can't get away, from the feeling of failure day after day, there must be some way - to prevail, but until that day.. We'll remain friends, i'll just pretend i'm not waiting for your love, It's just like before, i'm left wanting more and i'm waiting for your love, waiting for your love.. you're love never comes I just need one win, in this town of losers that i'm in, I've grown a thick skin, register rings, no-one hears when I sing But we'll remain friends, i'll just pretend i'm not waiting for your love It's just like before, i'm left wanting more and i'm waiting for your love I'm just trying to get through, Do what I want to, And hold on to you.. I'll wait for your love, I'm leaving this job, I wait for your love..

Never Enough 03:17
lyrics
buy track
You say I should write you Something beautiful But you're never patient Just keep reminding me how long you've waited But you say I have a cutting knack To point out when you're wrong Well what a dangerous tool with which to write you a song You say give me a call but when I do you give me shit that it's never in person You say give me a week but you mean a year and I can hear that you're getting worse You say all you want a simple things Just my time and love But those are seldom simple And they're never enough But you don't want a song, you want a compliment And you don't want the truth, you want the sentiment Well I can give you, I can give you all that stuff But it wont matter, no it wont matter cause it's Never Enough You should stick to the mirror that you've got Cause if you borrow mine you'll find you don't look like you thought you did and someday I'll regret not buying into what we are born and bred to believe we should give in to But you don't want a song, you want a compliment And you don't want the truth, you want the sentiment Well I can give you, I can give you all that stuff But it wont matter, no it wont matter cause it's Never Enough Never Enough

Astoria 03:22
lyrics
buy track
Why the awkward moments? Why the prolonged pause? It seems you failed to notice me.. but I know you did of course You're not a friend to me anyway And you never really were They say that home is where the heart is Well my heart's with her.. In Astoria So you've become a man now The future's in your hands But with friends so disposable It must be hard to make plans You're not a friend to me anyway And you never really were They say that the home is where the heart is My heart's with her.. In Astoria For a while it seemed a shame We went our own way But now that we've grown up You're just not good enough for me Fade into the distance So does your memory I'm gonna leave it in our hometown With the death of you and me You're not a friend to me anyway And you never really were They say that home is where the heart is My heart's with her My heart's with her My heart's with her In Astoria

Hoping That I Mean It 03:16
lyrics
buy track
I was never wanting To change my mind Say your name in a line I was never feeling That you weren't the one until the time had come You are full of love for me I'm not really what you need.. I'm saying that I love you Hoping that I mean it All is well that ends well But it never does Wishing one day you'll see That time heals the pain And you'll feel love again You are full of love for me I'm not really what you need.. I'm saying that I love you Hoping that I mean it The end I see it You are full of love for me I'm not what you need

Emma Simpson You're not doing well, I know You've worked here too long Your life will finally start, when you go But you think it's over before it's done Before the game is played, someone else won Emma Simpson, get a move on You know your role well And nobody else knows it good enough Took a wrong turn And kept driving on and on and on Can't even see another way Can't see sunlight in your day Emma Simpson, get a move on Step out into the light Only then can you live your life Get away from that man..

Changes Round Here 02:54
lyrics
buy track
At first I release with the right hand My knuckles have gotten so white And I tell every stranger that I can That I'm fixin' to make changes round here It takes me all night, but I pack in my head from the long summer dresses to books I've not read It's taken me years just to fill this space up to find I prefer to empty it instead She said, What are you holding on to? You're mourning a loss that you haven't been through it's not so tough deciding who are the trivial many, and the vital few I gotta defend this righteous gut It's full of good sense, full of caution but you've got to invent some adventure somewhere so I'm fixin' to make changes fixin' to make changes round here She said, What are you holding on to? You're mourning a loss that you haven't been through It's not so tough deciding who are the trivial many and the vital few...

Mystie (Don't Say No!) 03:26
lyrics
buy track
Your mysterious eyes, may be around tonight But you won't be there in the morning And when I feel this way, it's like my birthday Without all the fear of getting older Something tells me i'm not alone In wanting to take you home But Mystie, give me just one look No-one knew you were there, then everyone stared When your voice came from the piano So give the singer a hand, and fire him from the band He ain't going nowhere anyway It happens to me almost every night, in this town Fall in love with a stranger at first sight, but it feels alright Well living on a song, can only last so long Trust me Mystie, I know When we get to this, the final kiss I'm just so scared you'll say no Don't say no!

No Good 03:06

I don't know where you've been It was pretty late when you came in And I don't know who you've been with But I know that she 'aint me... And I never thought you would but now I know you're up to no good, baby Said, I never thought you would But now I know you're up to no good And you been telling me some lies You been telling me some wicked lies How can you look into my eyes And make it up so sweet? Well I never though you would But now I know you're up to no good, Baby Said I never thought you would But now I know you're up to no good You played me like I was deaf, dumb, and blind You played me like you never had the time But you've been getting messy with that rhyme And I never thought you would but now I know you're up to no good Woulda, coulda, shoulda- she can have you cause you're no good I don't know where you've been I don't know how I let you get me into this All I know is I feel lighter now it's just me And I never thought you would But now I know you're up to no good Said I never thought you would But now I know that you're just no good

Take Me Home 03:24
lyrics

How do I find a decent beer around here? How do I find a smile that's real and sincere? The lonely road, it's just like you told me it would be I should've known, i'd feel so alone in this city So take me home They drive along, in straight lines in the sunshine These haves and have nots, remind me i'm on the wrong side Why've you got to be so fake? Why do they say it's so great..? Here on the lonely road, it's just like you told me it would be And I should've known, i'd feel so alone in this city So take me home From this lonely road..

Where Losers Meet 03:53
lyrics
buy track
Standing on the side of the room you'll find her Because she knows the world don't revolve around her She start a fire with the slightest spark She could find love in the coldest heart Outside everything's in it's right place The sky above has cleared and the sun's on our face Where losers meet A door hits the wall another mindless victim Another step away from the skin that he's in It doesn't matter what you say or do Only what they can get from you Some are here trying to turn it all around Some are here trying to lose what they found Some have left home and they can't go back Some enjoy being stuck in the trap.. Where losers meet
