ENOLA GAY

Enola Gay
You should have stayed at home yesterday
Ah-ha words can't describe
The feeling and the way you lied

These games you play
They're going to end in more than tears some day
Ah-ha Enola Gay
It shouldn't ever have to end this way

It's eight fifteen
And that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio
Conditions normal and you're coming home

Enola Gay
Is mother proud of little boy today
Ah-ha this kiss you give
It's never going to fade away

Enola Gay
It shouldn't ever have to end this way
Ah-ha Enola Gay
It shouldn't fade in our dreams away

It's eight fifteen
And that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio
Conditions normal and you're coming home

Enola Gay
s mother proud of little boy today
Ah-ha this kiss you give
It's never ever going to fade away

2ND THOUGHT

And all the order in our lives
Left some time ago
Along the way
We are the ones who never cry
Like we don't care
Today

Me at home and you out there
And on your way
It's gone so far and now it seems
It's only me
Who cares

I know it helps the times you asked
Though never gained
A little hope to set you free
Less restrained

And though the order in our lives
Left some time ago
We are the ones who never cry
Or so we're told

It's gone so far and now it seems
It's only me
Me at home and you out there
Along the way

Me at home and you out there
Along the way

Me at home and you out there
along the way

MOTION AND HEART

Everything is as it should be
From motion and heart to the scenery
From make do and mend to the new Paris trend
You said that you learnt but it happens again

Oh what's a heart that refuses to beat
Fortunes gained lost on the street
I couldn't believe this would happen again
The things you said and I called you my friend

Each time we tried we failed as before
From laissez faire to the knock on the door
But everything is as it should be
When you give your heart to me

From mo mo mo mo motion and heart
to heart heart heart heart heart and move

STATUES

The way you moved
I can't explain
The mood subsides
And grows again
I've lived alone
I've held a hand
I've tried to care
And understand

What is faith
And when belief
And who knows how
These things deceive
I never said
And though I tried
If I could leave
And sleep tonight

I can't imagine
How this ever came to be

THE MISUNDERSTANDING

Well we know where the true one lies
And you can't say it's our imagination
Just because we cannot find the proof

We've shared this thought for some considerable time
It's increasingly unlike the rest
For as we get older we've become less aware
Security lies at the heart of our lives
Attaching ourselves to ourselves
We're extinguished but we're still alive

Misunderstood but our intention is good
We were not questioned on our replies
It does you no good
Though you think that it should
And it would given half a chance
If there's compassion in your hearts
Now that you've seen enough
We've given of our best
For God's sake you know
Please please please please please please please please can we go home

Is this the time or place to say goodbye
Regardless I'll find my final cue
We'll sneak out the back door and close it

PROMISE

A change of mind has moved around
Takes me back to when we met
Forever moved a promise kept
This all implies I don't believe how this would be for to
Be with you
Watching your eyes
I can see it in your eyes
Away go away
To be by your side
I'll travel all night
Away go away

Concept conceived to let me down
And when you leave I can never make my mind up
Your on the move removed too far
Your way of life
It's only me I'm not deceived at all to
Be with you
Watching your eyes
I can see it in your eyes
Away go away
To be by your side
I'll travel all night
Away go away

So far from me to be the same
I'll try again I'm here alone
I shan't forget I feel this way
And all the time you can dance until we meet again to
Be with you
Watching your eyes
I can see it in your eyes
Away go away
To be by your side
I'll travel all night
Away go away
to be by your side
I'll travel all night
Away go away
To be by your side
I'll travel all night

STANLOW

Eternally
This field remains
Stanlow

No heart or head or mind
No season could erase
We set you down
To care for us
Stanlow

A vision fading fast
A million hearts to one
So restrained
She turns away
Stanlow

I've seen her face in every day
The same routine along the way
Tonight in the rain
Alone

And then again it's been so long
Since one single promise kept
All to say to
Reason
We wanted a heart
To say what we want to

A morning comes just as it left
A warmer feeling seldom owned
And tonight
All I see
Alone
And as she turned we always knew
That her heart was never there
