All Rivers Lead To This
I set you free because I know
I'm an hour glass that's running low
like a stray cat looking for something good
Well baby, I know I'm just no good for you.
I've already gone amiss.
All rivers lead to this.
Like a dog-eared picture in my pocket
I take it out to look at you
And in the brown and white you fade away
Well, it would be easy if I could forget yesterday
but I can't change what is,
All rivers lead to this.
All rivers lead to this
I tried to remember, tried to hold on
to the crooked picture, the hanging memory song
My thoughts of you, a fortune sold
and all the while I had a pot of gold.
Like a treasure left unkissed,
All rivers lead to this.
All rivers lead to this.
It slips away, each time I think of you
One day I know I'll forget, one day I'll just pass through
Something I can't hold, I can't confess;
Slipping away like a wave in an empty room.
Slipping like tomorrow slips,
All rivers lead to this.
All rivers lead to this.
All rivers lead to this.
Summertime Science
I am just a bug, flyin' through the world. Size doesn't stop me bein' all I can be. 'Cos my GrandDaddy told me, if you be all that you be, you can do anything but don't forget your friends, it's worth nothin' if you're lonely. And sometimes, I get so high, it's so much fun I don't want to come down 'cos I'm feelin' alive. In the Summer time I get on a natural high. It's so much fun I don't want to come down 'cos I'm feelin' alive. Embrace the cliche, deliver it in a new way, it's not rocket science just, feel your way, oh oh oh oh....
Oh, be the flame, not the moth, well you'll fly so high you don't wanna come down, but don't get your soul too hot. Oh be the love not the loss, oh be the love not the loss, when you hurt so bad that you think you'll die that's when you know what livin' you got. Embrace the cliche, deliver it in a new way, it's not rocket science just, feel your way...oh oh oh oh oh.
And sometimes, I get so high, it's so much fun I don't want to come down 'cos I'm feelin' alive. In the Summer time I get on a natural high. It's so much fun I don't want to come down 'cos I'm feelin' alive. (In Summer, in summer...) Embrace the cliche, (Deliver, deliver...) Deliver it in a new way. It's not rocket science, just feel your way, oh oh oh oh....
I'm gonna write a new song, not gonna make it too long. I got a simple message; you gotta get your soul on. I'm gonna write a new song, not gonna make it too long. I got a simple message; you gotta get your soul on.
Sunshine
A thousand perfect ways
to live a thousand lives that are exactly the same...
People everywhere
will make the same mistakes and grow the same long hair
but no matter from where you come,
we all sail our little ships into the sun
When the day is done
We sa-a-ail our little ships into the sun
And all the words and wars
could not stop us from doing what we came here for
And all the time;
I wouldn't give it back, I wouldn't change my mind,
I wouldn't change my mind,
I wouldn't change my mind...
Sunshine...
But there's no answers here,
only tricky questions whispering tricky talk in our ear.
I like to think I did this all on my own,
But I know my heart only becomes a heart when it's a home...
And all the words and wars
could not stop us from doing what we came here for
And all the time;
I wouldn't give it back, I wouldn't change my mind,
I wouldn't change my mind,
I wouldn't change my mind...
Sunshine...
And all we have is now.
We make each other multi-coloured promises anyhow...
And these amazing things we do
were once but tiny dreams inside our minds that we clung to,
that we clung to,
like I cling to you...
My Sunshine
but no matter from where you come,
we all sail our little ships into the sun
When the day is done
We sa-a-ail our little ships into the sun
We all sail our little ships into the sun
We sa-a-ail our little ships into the sun,
Into the sun
Into the sun
You always were my only one;
Sunshine...
Oooh Sunshine...
