Sonny signed his name up for tomorrow
And laughed with all this friends At all the little men who borrow tunes They heard just yesterday Davey got us down but we got away And drank to all the days That we had whiled away Just playing Robin Hood a little out of phase And then the nightmares come And you get blown away (when your friends go away, on last chorus) And up in your room your walls are cold You find your head is holding out For the welcome of a better day And then the nightmares come And you get blown away And up in your room Your walls are getting colder Like you're getting on a roller coaster You can't find the breaks Stevie burned the sky when he flew away And left us things to say When all the world was falling down Around our shoulders; cold and grey Harry carried on in his usual way And Minnie went inside He came out once and we both cried And Minnie blew my head away When you're giving everything away Everybody lets you pay You're saving up for a better day Seeing things in a better way When you know you've got to live There's nothing you won't give To hear the phone and not let it ring Every Monday morning Shughie found love and he almost cried We laughed and wondered why We loved the sky and found the space And gazed out over Stevie's plane |

Travellers Tune
Where do you go buttoned in your favourite coat Stepping out to a different world And you might be home late And where are you now Staring at your favourite box The one with the traveller's cross On the road past the gate *But if you find yourself standing on the corner While you're thinking of a different world Then you might see me waiting on the corner Staring through you in your different world And if I could swim Then I'd get out and find my boat Sail away to my favourite coast And let you all in And if I could do all the things you're asking for Then maybe I'd find your door And bring it home to you *Repeat So where do we go Like two Christophers in the snow Yeah we're blind but we want to know Just to say I love you And all of our lives We'll sail through the suns and moons To sing our Travellers Tune Just to say I love you *Repeat (submitted By Caroline Young) |

I don't want to be another big star
Picking at your cars Stealing at your clothes Finding out what you don't know You don't know I don't want to be your big star Picking your calls; saying I don't know I don't want to be your suitor Lacking at your feet Trying to love the things you need And you know I've heard this before And you know I've heard it some more Won't you give me a chance To break down your door But I sit Oh Oh I still sit here I don't want to be a tailor Pricking at your thumb Washing all the tears away Some words Oh no I believe they don't feel you Picking up your dirt Washing all your dreams away *Repeat (Submitted By Caroline Young) |

She nails down moon beams
And talks in double time Stumbling down to where ever she goes I live in the meantime And i get frustrated So I put my wager on Debris Road It keeps me running down Debris Road ]I'm not so scared but its something I cling to All the places I wanna go They wont cast a shadow on my Debris Road I get frustrated looking for meanbeams They always fall where I never go 'Cos I like the daylight and I like a good life Running so fast down Debris Road (Repeat Chorus) Someone got moonfaced and someone gets tearful Talking so much they really dont know Staying up all night singing songs till daylight And striking a match with the devil below (Repeat Chorus) (submitted by Caroline Young, biggest OCS fan in the world) |

Besides Yourself
Before I let you all go Before I pull you from this show Before I wave to you I'd like to say to you I wish you never to be alone *Besides yourself what can you say Millions apart and miles away Besides yourself what do you need Some feel no pain while others bleed So if you're going to save my words Make sure it's this time you deserve Before I walk away I know your every day Will play before you on it's own *Repeat And I'm not saying I'm not saying any wrong by you And I'm not saying I'm not talking my time for you *Repeat (Submitted by Caroline Young) |

Get Blown Away
And when she blows the candle flame to smoke She says a prayer for all of those who live in houses and in homes And Monday she'll go down town standing naked in the road You may know what I am But who I am you don't know She'll run across the mustard dust sand Scream down the wind And the sea is in a cold Like when in holiday homes And houses like sweet confectionary And sandcastles and drinking wine Hungry dinners perfectly timed And mother and father glowing young Happy to be each other together When she blows the candle out She goes to bed and lies and drags through her head The day that went way of every day But tomorrow she'll fly a plane Over the fields where the houses aren't built yet She smiled sweetly across the room Through the lunch time smoke And I loved her for a second And discarded the queen and I know How sweetness turns sour And leaves they turn to brown And then to earth and dust And settle in this town You get blown away... (Repeat 1st Half) She smiled sweetly across the lunch time smoke And I loved her for a second and discarded the queen and I know When men are being little boys again And women cruel step mothers of old And this is the invention The adventure of my own I get blown away...

Tele He's Not Talking
Tele he's the one he knows what to say Knows how to find his own way He knows the roads by night and by doorways But watching the light in a hall Won't change a thing or say at all What it is that he says Still he says that I don't know Still he says that I don't know *I don't why I think about so much When I don't know what it is I can't say And I wouldn't change a thing if I believe you all And scream it in your face Still I'd say hey I don't know Still I'd say hey I don't know Tele deals the cards and draws an ace And finds himself miles away Where skies ain't bruised by towers and fumes Children ain't too young to play Would I change a thing I'd change it all But we're born different days Still I'd say hey I don't know Still I'd say hey I don't know *Repeat Would I change a thing I'd change it all when I'm miles away Would I change a thing I'd change it all but we were born on different days I'd change a thing I'd change it all when I'm miles away...

I think everybodys after me
They want to know just what I feel Pushing wires under my nose Everybody's standing on my toes Telling the world what i should know You said you'd seen life from near the floor You opened every closing door Thankyou for always being there All the nights in which we shared And we know we're always there If it ever gets you down You know I'll always be around Coz too much just aint enough (whistle) We - we who are your property Whose every single move you see We dont mind your prying eyes We dont mind all your lies Or the headlines that you write (Submitted by Caroline Young, biggest OCS fan in the world...cheers) |

Spark and Cindy live by their own means
They wouldn't have if I only know'd where they'd been And I want to make things a part of my life And I want to see that things are going to be right But if you can't even stand on your feet And if you don't own the air that you breathe Then it's not for me to say But I wouldn't live that way and I wouldn't stand apart And I wouldn't find the real and I wouldn't play a part And I wouldn't find in love so misguided by some fool And just what I'm trying t say makes my head spin round the room (Repeat from 3rd line onwards) |

We're just half a dream away
Sitting on our fences Building up defences Making up rules by which we play We're just half way down the road Staking our positions But stupid superstitions Only give fools too heavy a load The magpie screeched and my window is shattered Her body's bruised but her soul's not battered The fireman tried but the hose was frozen The cupboard's bare but the door needs closing We spend half our time away From being where we want to And seeing who it's fun to Not blaming ourselves for our mistakes We spend half a dream away Just looking out of windows Waiting for a signal Waiting for night to return to day The tree was bare but the birds were singing The milk turned sour but my thirst needs quenching The meat was dead and I need me feeding The room was cold but the night was freezing The rainbow frowned when the sun was shining A baby's snatched on a beautiful morning A dog runs wild and the brakes are screaming A church on fire is struck by lightning The dead man's hands had beautiful fingers The princess frowned at her lovers mistress She went insane and poisoned the children A teacher's drowned and a child is laughing We're just half a dream away... |

Sonny went and flipped away and said he had to go
How could you ever say he never stayed alone And how could I belong with anyone you know Come on every line's a line I'll never know *Oh......it's a beautiful thing Oh......it's a beautiful thing Sometimes I can get along alone enough Backing everyone away and never have enough And how could I be playing every line for you Look at the things today that I can never choose *Repeat Sometimes I could never ever ever fade again Sometimes I could never ever ever fade again Sometimes I could never ever ever fade again And how could I be playing every line for you Look at the things today that I can never choose *Repeat |
