Where The Locals Meet (Re-Mix)
08 October 2010
I like your likes I like your posts I like your photos They're the most
Say won't you Add me as a friend Your photos drive me Round the bend
Hey look I'm on your Facebook Hey look I'm on your Facebook We clicked and our world shook Now we're connected on your Facebook
You tagged my heart I love your smile Embed our words In sweet denial
I searched for you In fields above Say won't you PM Me your love
Hey look I'm on your Facebook Hey look I'm on your Facebook We clicked and our my world shook Now we're connected on your Facebook
You poked me I poked you too These walls of words Can't be true
So tell a secret Never told No Comment Baby Dreams I hold
Hey look I'm on your Facebook Hey look I'm on your Facebook We clicked and then our world shook Now we're connected on your Facebook
Unused lines: [I was playing around with phrases that use the word Face] And though the facts are hard to place Our lies are written across your face With a brave smile that you make That laughs upon the face of fate And though we fly in the blue faced sky Where that type of line can't lose or fit The consequence of a bare faced lie Is the music that faces it. And though your smile is oh so straight And on the face of it you've a pretty face Where out of your face values are the star You can face away but still get scarred Call for participants for video The Book16 July 2010
Come, listen to me Gonna move you now Your whole story
I am a friend from times gone by I watched you smile and I made you cry I didn't know what you were going to do So I tied up your hands and left you too
To ride in dreams upon high Used to ride in the beam of where we'd fly You didn't know where and didn't see I'm your inside guide on a long journey
Gone, gonna take away from me Gonna whisper at the end secretly We won't ever meet but we'll be real close Upon my skin you'll write a note
To the end of the line
I did my time and I did it well We've been to heaven and ran through Hell I'll sign to the left but keep to the right When I you take me out on a Saturday night
I'm gonna love you But now you've gone I used to love true But that was wrong I used to love blue But now it's grey I'll come back to you Another day
I'm gonna look deep In to your eyes Gonna pour tears In to long goodbyes You'll touch my nose And caress my ears While I warm your heart And stir your fears
I need your love To take me out of control Gonna drive to the end, End of the road Gonna love till the stars Are coming on home I need your love But you'd rather Lie alone
Keep alone
I got a gun And I aimed it true I got your site And your eyes were blue I'll make you laugh I'll make you cry I'm the story teller Of times gone by
I'm gonna see you Fall to me I want your hands up baby To set me free I'm gonna sit at the table And break the bread And listen to the thoughts Inside your head
I need your hands To take a hold on me I need your mouth to Set me free I need your heart To rescue me I need your love Need your love To bring life to me
I need your love (Outro)

Well my friends they've been going away Been a long time since they did stay Don't know what to do or say It's just the way my life has played Don't know if I should be sad Don't know if I should be true Don't know if I should be glad if I never see you
Well my love comes And my love goes But sometimes you see me Sometimes you feel me Sometimes you don't know
2 Well the time it goes And my love it fades Don't want to see you go But don't want to have you stay
Well my love comes And my love goes Sometimes you see me Sometimes you feel me Sometimes you don't know
3 Love comes and goes Dreams will not stay I want to hold you close But I'm feeling sad today
Well my love comes And my love goes But sometimes you see me Sometimes you feel me Sometimes you don't know
Well my love comes And my love goes But sometimes you see me Sometimes you feel me Sometimes you don't know.
Extra unused lyrics Well the nights are drawing in It's been a long time since we did sing Been a long time since we did anything It's been a long time since I saw you Well the night is coming And the time is going And the times are going away Sometimes I love you baby When you're here
I'm watching the storm on my TV Look out the window at the rain I see you smiling in the puddles of the sky Don't know why you go, don't know why you go,
Lights are flashing The wind is blowing And the rain comes down Trains go by and cars drown out the sound
Planes are flying high Gonna touch the sky one day Gonna take you all away Gonna keep me here and there
In the middle of the night I drive away Drive along gonna take away today Gonna love you and keep my love today Gonna take my life, gonna take it away
I don't know I can't see But your love is turning in the wind Like a bird that's coming home to stay I can feel you here next to me A thousand miles away
Standing in a phone box singing tales of woe and blow Exchange your money for the things that you don't know Forces come and go ‘til my love goes somewhere I pretend that I don't care Memories of love are everywhere
In the middle of the night I drive away Drive along gonna take away today Gonna love you and keep my love today Gonna take my life, gonna take it away
In the middle of the night I'm with you In the middle of the night I need you In the middle of the night I'm loving you In the middle of the night I'm with you
Standing in a phone box singing tales of woe and blow Exchange your money for the things that you don't know Forces come and go ‘til my love goes somewhere I pretend that I don't care Memories of love are everywhere
In the middle of your breath I'll kiss you In the middle of our dance we speak the truth In the middle of journeys that make us stay In the middle of a crisis our peace be with me
In the middle of the night, In the middle of the night In the middle of our life, In the middle of our life In the middle of the night, In the middle of our love In the middle of our love
The Place Where The Locals Meet (2010)
Welcome to my humble house, friend This is a where I choose to live Cigarettes are left outside Shoes can be worn Magazines lay unread and un-torn
Welcome to the town I live in It's been a sunny here for years But there's a lake outside of town Which the locals fill with their fears
And the waves they're a crashing on our front doors But we don't care ‘cause we're tall And the storm it comes and goes every year And I don't know which way to turn
So lay across my bed my sweet one I will stroke you ‘til you sleep And as you dream I'll take your tears And your fears To the lake where the locals meet Where the locals sleep Where the locals weep
Welcome to my house, friend This is the place that I was born This is the place where magazines go un-torn And unread Lay across my bed The animals are happy and are fed
And this is the place where my fears grow stronger With every candle that I light And this is the place where I live, longer If I go to bed at night
So lay across my bed my sweet one I will stroke you ‘til you sleep And as you dream I'll take your tears And your fears To the lake where the locals meet Where the locals sleep Where the locals weep That's where you're weak That's where we're in deep With the secrets I keep
The moon looks down as we both sleep I breathe, and eat, and feel and weep I love, I hate, I dream, I wake, I have lost and gained I feel pleasure and pain, I have lived and will die I have repented and I have lied
I can feel your Eyes undressing me You want my body As close as it can be Next to you You're a naughty girl But baby you will do All the things I dreamed you to
It doesn't matter what you do or say The moves you make or the songs you play What you love to hate, the money you make Cos I want you to long And I want you strong I have loved you and I have cried I have been tempted and my heart tried
I can feel your Eyes undressing me You want my body As close as it can be Next to you You're a naughty girl But baby you will do All the things I dreamed you to
Sun is blinding as we dance in the rain The beat of your heart drives my mind insane We're lost in the heat of this deadly game I've lost and gained, felt pleasure and pain Surrender and our love dies Defend it and I will lie
I can feel your Eyes undressing me You want my body As close as it can be Next to you You're a naughty girl But baby you will do All the things I dreamed you to
Natural Friends I've walked this earth on feet of clay And breathed the heat of a summers day And held the hands of an empty vow And learned to savour the here and now
I have watched my children come to life And felt my father come to die I have struggled deep and struggle still With the lust and love some would have me kill
So this is birth And this is life And this is earth And these are stars And these are maps And these are stripes And these are words And here's the dead And this is the world in side my head And here's the universe I'll never know And here's a desire to let go And these are thoughts that I know we share And it's hard to know if we really care
The moon looks down as we both sleep I breath, and eat, and feel and weep I love, I hate, I learn, I wake, I have lost and gained I feel pleasure and pain, I have lived and will die I have repented and I have lied
If we were to meet and greet and speak and eat and laugh and play Then maybe we'd come to see the error of our master's ways If we were to look in each other's eyes and hold each other tight Then maybe we'd come to understand the limits of our fight If we were to walk arm in arm Then I would not want you to come to harm
And so across this world There's a message I send That when we're stirred to hate We hate our natural friends
And when we're asked to kill each other By the masters we must defend I know deep down that we both know That we are natural friends
For you and I can accept each other We have no desire from us to steal But our masters have told us that it's a case Of kill or we'll be killed
But our masters have another plan That keeps the truth at bay They'd have us fight over a purse of lies And have our children lay to die.
My friends I do not want to hurt you My friends I do not want to change you My friends I do not want to control you My friends I do not want to destroy you
And so it has been since the dawn of time That friendship dies through a lack of truth That we are driven to despair By the lies our masters have us share. 10 November 2010
Fighting For Love I know it's been hard Falling apart ain't What we planned When I said I do
I wish it was different But here we are Along way from the dreams Of me and you.
Don't give up please I know it seems like the end, my friend
I'm here to fight for love To protect our vows For better or worse Not forgotten now I'm here for us I'm here for love I'm here for you My love for you is true
Well the priest he warned That we'd have to work hard He said that love was no easy ride And now I feel his words In the pain I feel of loss of hope inside
But I ain't a quitter I'll fight for the right of love to live
I'm here to fight for love To protect our vows For better or worse Not forgotten now I'm here for us I'm here for love I'm here for you My love for you is true
As we drive in the rain I catch your eye You turn away from me But the face of love Isn't always What it appears to be
I'm here to fight for love To protect our vows For better or worse Not forgotten now I'm here for us I'm here for love I'm here for you My love for you is true
I'm here to fight for us It's not the end I'm here for us I'm here to defend Don't forget The words The preacher said It's not the end It's not the end Our love isn't dead. It's not the end It's not the end Our love isn't dead. 20 November 2010
