Why did you go away? We all wanted you to stay You wanted to follow your dreams And we want you to succeed I see why you went away England’s has its day I’ve got hopes and dreams as well For a long time he’s wanted this We’ll see him rise from the abyss of life For a second I doubted him But as a friend I want him to succeed Foreign lives and friendships will survive Foreign lives and friendships will survive Foreign lives and friendships will survive I know you wanted to leave Right now it’s easy to see How much you needed to start again You’ve given everything up Leaving your life to chance But you really need a scene that’s fresh For a long time he’s wanted this We’ll see him rise from the abyss of life For a second I doubted him But as a friend I want him to succeed Foreign lives and friendships will survive Foreign lives and friendships will survive Foreign lives and friendships will survive For a long time he’s wanted this We’ll see him rise from the abyss of life For a second I doubted him But as a friend I want him to succeed Foreign lives and friendships will survive Foreign lives and friendships will survive Foreign lives and friendships will survive

I’ll carry you on my tired back again I’m getting older, it’s my last throw of the dice It’s my last throw of the dice I don’t know how I stayed strong through all this time I’m getting older, it’s my last throw of the dice It’s my last throw of the dice I’ll carry you on my tired back again I’m getting older, it’s my last throw of the dice It’s my last throw of the dice All of my flaws combined make me a better guy I’ll take my time if you want to pressure me I’ll put it all on the line if I succeed ‘Cos it’s my last throw of the dice I’ll carry you on my tired back again I’m getting older, it’s my last throw of the dice It’s my last throw of the dice All of my flaws combined make me a better guy I’ll carry you on my tired back again I’m getting older, it’s my last throw of the dice It’s my last throw of the dice I don’t know how I stayed strong through all this time I’m getting older, it’s my last throw of the dice It’s my last throw of the dice

This room’s getting steamy This room’s getting warm My body is beaten It can’t take anymore I’m switching my brain off The water will rise The bubbles are building and it’s Friday night I’m warm I’m warm My mind is unwinding My thoughts are intact My head is deciding If it’s time to relax My senses are tingling Don’t know where I am Escaping from Earth Don’t want to come back I’m warm I’m warm I’m warm I’m warm This room’s getting steamy This room’s getting warm My body is beaten It can’t take anymore This room’s getting steamy This room’s getting warm My body is beaten It can’t take anymore I’m warm I’m warm I’m warm I’m warm

I don’t know what to do But I’m OK with this ‘Cos ignorance is bliss, oh yes I’m stuck in my home town With nothing to do Let’s venture out and start something new I’m in limbo now I don’t wanna die But I don’t wanna live no more I’m stuck in my home town With nothing to do Let’s venture out and start something new

Eighteen Again 03:34

“It’s always the quiet ones you’ve got to watch” They say, that’s what they say But I can’t help bring the way I am I’ve just got nothing to say So stop pressurising me into doing something I don’t want to do Just let me chill out on my own and be by myself Sometimes I wish I was eighteen again No responsibility, no bills to pay You don’t even look at me When I walk through the door I don’t look the same as you But it’s not my fault You don’t even look at me When I walk through the door I don’t look the same as you And I know And I know I won’t be the one to break through And I know And I know I won’t be the one

I don’t know what to do It’s too bad, but it’s true All the things I go through are because of her She’ll never take me back Just paper over cracks Whatever should I do? I just wanna escape through the back door Stand in the downpour Be free again I’m as lonely as ever What should I tell her? I don’t know what to say And in this pain I feel I see no future for me and her I don’t want this to be real But life won’t change for me I don’t have a clue The path that I should choose I’m feeling so blue and it’s down to her Should I take her back if I had the chance Only time will tell Now I wanna escape through the back door Stand in the downpour Be free again I’m as lonely as ever What should I tell her? I don’t know what to say And in this pain I feel I see no future for me and her I don’t want this to be real But life won’t change for me And in this pain I feel I see no future for me and her I don’t want this to be real But life won’t change for me And in this pain I feel I see no future for me and her I don’t want this to be real But life won’t change for me

I don’t need to come back here anymore I’ve left my feelings right at your door Don’t want to be associated with you anymore Get out of my life Don’t come back ever again I don’t want to see you anymore You caused me to go into my shell I didn’t wanna come back out Nobody wanted to listen to what I had to say It’s only since I got rid of you that everything is fucking OK Oh yeah, oh yeah Get out of my life Don’t come back ever again I don’t want to see you anymore You’ve got demons in your closet You’ve got demons in your closet You’ve got demons in your closet You’ve got demons in your closet You’ve got demons in your closet You’ve got demons in your closet You’ve got demons in your closet You’ve got demons in your closet Get out of my life Don’t come back ever again I don’t want to see you anymore I don’t want to see you anymore I don’t want to see you anymore
