I feel like I meant something you always say you need more time 
Well I'll stay right here and I'll wait for good until I find a love worth mine 
Someday you've got it coming it hurts me when I read the signs 
So loud and clear that I'll make you glad if I'm leaving first and crying 
All you good good people listen to me 
You're just about done with the way that you feel 
When nothing rings home enough to dig your heels in 
You don't have to leave me to see what I mean 
All you good good people listen to me 

And all I wanna do is find my name upon the line 
Before I have to lose this I want time 

All you good good people listen to me 
You're just about done with the way that you feel 
Nothing rings home enough to dig your heels in 
You don't have to leave me to see what I mean 
Lose all your fears 
They are keeping you down 
You won't have to fake it while I'm around 
All you good good people listen to me 

Listen to me.. 
Listen to me.. 
 

. . .

Come back to what you know,
Take everything real slow 
I wanna lose you but I can't Let you go. 

Before you interfere 
Let me make it loud and clear, that you got no more to prove. 
I'm a fool. 
So take it easy on yourself, 
There's nothing new about regretting how you felt. 
I'll never let you down, 
Or ever feel the way that I've been fearing now. 

Coming back to what you know won't mean a thing.
Everything that you've done keeps you from me. 
Now I know that I need more time, 
Come back and let me see you're right. 
I'm coming back to what you know, 
Cos I know that I need it now it's gone. 
Now I know that I need more time, 
Come back and let me see you're eye

So hang on to what you've got, keep it safe. 
Hang on to what you've got, 
Keep it safe from harm. You'll find. 
There's nothing new that we can't leave behind. 

Come back to what you know, 
Take everything, real slow, 
I wanna lose you but I got,
Far too high To let go 
Now the demon in me knows, 
What I knew so long ago 

Coming back to what you know won't mean a thing. 
Everything that you've done keeps you from me. 
Now I know that I need more time, 
Come back and let me see you're right. 
I'm coming back to what you know, 
Cos I know that I need it now it's gone. 
Now I know that I need more time, 
Come back and let me see you're right. 

So hang on to what you've got, keep it safe. 
Hang on to what you've got, keep it safe from harm.
We got time. We got time. 

Coming back to what you know won't mean a thing. 
Everything that you've done keeps you from me. 
Now I know that I need more time, 
Come back and let me see you're right. 
I'm coming back to what you know, 
Cos I know that I need it now it's gone. 
Now I know that I need more time, 
Come back and let me see you're right. 
Come back to what you know, 
Take everything real slow, 
I tried to lose you, 
But I got far too close.

Why did you run I'll always let you leave
You aren't the first to hit and run away from me
As I bounce along the open road
I'm outnumbered and alone

I'm over the moon in ways you won't believe
You say it's too soon for you to know what all this means
If I say that I want all you have
I just want it all back

And though we could have made it last
You've gotta do more than that
You've got to take all you have and pour and pour
You're never gonna see the light
You've got to leave now behind
You're never going to know what's right fro what went wrong
So ignore all the facts
And come running straight back to me to me

It's not a wall you've only me to beat
So you took it all and made it far away from me
Now you're out of slight behind these eyes
And you will stay there all my life
 

. . .



three is the magic number 
yes it is its a magic number
Somewhere in this ancient mystic trinity 
you got 3 as a magic number 

the past and the present and the future
Faith and hope and charity
The heart and the brain and the body
give you three as a magic number

Takes three legs to make a tripod and to make a table stand
Takes three wheels to make a vehicle called a tricycle
Every triangle has three corners, every triangle has three sides
No more no less you don't have to guess 
when its three you can see its a magic number

A man and a woman had a little baby, yes they did,
They had three in the family and that's a magic number
whaoo

3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30
3 6 9
12 15 18
21 24 27
30

now the multiples of three come up three times in each set of ten
in the first ten you get 3 6 9
and in the teens ten you get 12 15 & 18
and in the twenties you get a 21 24 27
and they go down even on 30

Now multiply backwards from 3 time 10
3 times 10 is 30
3 times 9 is 27
3 times 8 is 24
3 times 7 is 21
3 times 6 is 18
3 times 5 is 15
3 times 4 is 12
and
3 times 3 is 9
3 times 2 is 6
and 
3 times 1 is 3 of course

now repeat the whole pack again
(3) 3 6 9 
(12)12 15 18
(21) 21 24 27
(30) 30

Now multiply backwards from 3 time 10
3 times 10 is 30
3 times 9 is 27
3 times 8 is 24
3 times 7 is 21
3 times 6 is 18
3 times 5 is 15
3 times 4 is 12
and
3 times 3 is 9
3 times 2 is 6
and 
3 times 1 is the magic number

A man and a woman had a little baby, yes they did,
They had three in the family and thats a magic number

Get ready for the judge in me

so when I call you up get y'all in 
We got family 
We got family 
so when I call you up get y'all in 

Get ready for the judge in me 
He's coming over 
Get on your feet 
All my goodness is all I got for you

what my clan can do? 
I own your arse now

We got family 
We got family 
so when I call you up get y'all in 
We got family 
We got family 
so when I call you up get y'all in
 

. . .



Don't wanna let you down
I've been lucky I was lost
Now I'm found 

You could be the first in the universe 
Who's glad they're watered down 

And that's why I get that shallow feeling that you like 
I'll never learn that I can't win

Don't wanna make a row 
You do And it's your loss I'm around 
I don't mind doing everything 
Hallelujah you're the one come back now 

Sometimes I get the shallow feeling that you like 
That you're hurt don't change a thing 

Because my weakness is none of your business 
But bad will always collect 
To one big melting pot 
And all my weakness is none of your business 
Somehow it always collects 
To one big melting pot 

This could be our time 
This could be our time 
This could be our time 
 

. . .



Know that I went as high
as I could go on my first time

Wheres the fun if your feelings 
are left behind

And it's your right when you mean it
to find the proof make me hear it

Cause when I'm wrong I don't see it
anymore

Cause I feel like a fake when I feel
any feeling,

Cause I wouldn't wanna happen to you.
Cause I know ya mean it.

You have a laugh when you let go 
that makes it's a big un-wanted side show

Why count the times that you feel low 
when you shine,

Cause your stone cold wise
I'm in to what you doin'

And I wouldn't wanna happen to you 
cause I could never climb the
walls you'd walk through 
and its the smilling lies that always come 
to make you feel that I'm the one for you

I know it feels like you spent your whole
life with people trying to keep you in your place
but no-one knows you better than me when I say 
no, no, no, no

And I wouldn't wanna happen to you 
cause I could never climb the
walls you'd walk through 
and its the smiling lies that always come 
to make you feel that I'm the one for you

You pinned your hope one me like I'm all you find
but I wouldn't wanna happen to you this time,

(I've gone away)
(I've gone away)
(I've gone away)
 

. . .



Well you can do it in your sleep
and then you worry for a week.
But with your magic at your feet,
everybody's falling at your feet.
But the liar gets the part cos
the honest go too far.
So when they laugh don't take it to heart,
you made a plastiscenic work of art,
a plastiscenic work of art.

Save me, save me from the lies I've got in my mind.
Cos it's hard enough to see you're good on the inside.
And the leaving when it works, the hardest to time,
when your dealing in the dirt and healing the blind.

You're looking down the telescope
from the only end you know,
where life is big and we're still close.
Everybody gets another go.

Save me, save me from the lies I've got in my mind.
Cos it's hard enough to see you're good on the inside.
And the leaving when it works, the hardest to time,
when your dealing in the dirt and healing the blind.
 

. . .



Don't try to beat 'em up
Just call them all aboard
Cos when your bark is gone
You're gonna take 'em all head on

Your faith is running low
It's too bad you'll never know
But don't be a fool again
Cos they're just hooligans
Don't try and save them all
Just try and break their fall
You want to live among
So don't try and right their wrongs

Bad news is twice around the world
When good is found
So don't be a fool again
They're just a bunch of hooligans

Don't try and lead the race
Like it's a life you saved
Cos you're all in my face
Like you're from outer space

And though you make 'em laugh
It won't beat the smile you have
So don't be a fool again
They're just a bunch of hooligans

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

So don't be a fool again
Don't be a hooligan
You've tried your best to win
Now get onboard your wings

Don't think of paying back
Just keep your soul intact
Don't be a fool again
They're just a bunch of hooligans
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Don't be a fool again, They're just a bunch of hooligans
Don't be a fool again, They're just a bunch of hooligans
 

. . .



I saw you sing out your praise 
Come on and lay 
The sunshine of my life's been burned 
And I didn't see the way 

Swallow down your pride 
It's wrong and I'll 
Help you hide 

I feel sincerely you're too much 
You're too much 
All at the same time 

Oh I 
Know much more 
Of what I can 
Than what I can't do 
If I should fail 
I'm gonna nail 
The blame on you 

All my blame on you 

Get it wrong and it makes you sore 
But you're 
Never right 

I see it clearly you're too much 
You're too much 
We're all on the same side 

There must be a time 
Between the well meaning 
When the good will come out 
And start the healing 
You won't know 
How well you've played 
Until you've won 

And if at first you find 
You can't imagine 
How good can heal 
When you've got nothing worth healing 
You won't know 
How well you're made 
Until you're down 

And all you have is gone. 

The good will come out 
The good will come out 
The good will come out
 

. . .



All the signs were there for me to see,
If I cry out with fear I'll feel more afraid,
So beat the sense back into me,
Cos you are like forbidden fruit out of my reach
And I forgot what I had sometimes

But if everyone has there shot and moves on
and you can't get out the way 
well it's you wonder will save

You were mine and now you're mine to want
And I knew if you'd cut the cord rush like balloons I'd fall
It's criminal to pause
as you basked in the seas applause I had it all
And I forgot what I had, sometimes

But if everyone has there shot and moves on
and you can't get out the way 
and its all for the best its all a lie
That everyone has their day

Cos if everyone has their shot and moves on
and you just get in the way
well its you wonder will save

La,la,la,
La,la,la,
La,la,la...etc

Don't let them make you feel small with their hands like guns at your head,
they'll claw but they'll never win if you let wonder in...

Cos if everyone has their shot and moves on
and you can't get out the way 
and it's all for the best its all a lie
and everyone has their day

Cos if everyone has their shot and moves on
and you just get out the way
well it's you wonder will save

Cos if everyone has there shot and moves on
and you can't get out the way 
and it's all for the best it's all a lie
and everyone has their day

But if everyone has their shot and moves on
and you just get out the way
well it's you wonder will save

Yeah it's you wonder will save
Yeah it's you wonder will save.
 

. . .



I stretched over to reach you 
I tried to meet you, I've been wrong 
Now the fireworks in me are all gone 
It's time I realised
My girl you make all the smart moves 
And sees through all my wrongs 
When the fireworks in me are all wrong 
Well then I realised 

And I don't need convincing 
I've seen enough to want to try and change things 
You fell in love, I fell in line 
I thought I found my place 
Before I knew how much it cost to play it safe 

Have I let you, 
I never let you down. 

I work all day and I won't fight 
When it feels right and its wrong 
When the fireworks in me are all gone 
Well then I realised 

And I won't need convincing 
I've seen enough to want to try and change things 
You fell in love, I fell in line 
I thought I found my place 
Before I knew how much it cost to play it safe 

Could I leave you? 
I never let you down.
