Build and break from the day I was born I been building so long I forgot what I’m building for Some people stare across a deadbeat’s wall Just waiting for the day it falls I built my house on an old man’s grave Now he haunts me form those picture frames I heard a voice in the hall today Saying you just like me, my son Oh now you just like me, why do you run? And I try try try try try But never find find find find find A little place to call my own So won’t you turn this big old house in to a home? Full proof plans on my workshop hands The spirit levels I don’t shake but the blood burns in my veins Curse the day I found my way To the side of the street where rich men, they die before they live And I try try try try try But never find find find find find A little place to call my own So won’t you turn this big old house in to a home? And you can board up all the windows and doors Sell my soul on the auction line (You’re not getting any younger) And you can knock down all the ceilings and walls But you won’t find what you’re looking for (You’re not getting any younger) They call it home! Where’s my home? Home! And I try try try try try But never find find find find find A little place to call my own So won’t you turn this big old house in to a home?

Slow Horses 03:25
Oh these days these dying days I only see the devil and his wicked ways I feel it, you better believe it! And lady luck she knows my name She often comes around but she never stays She could be, the biggest flirt in the city! I drink my whisky from the bottle It burns no worse than any scream from deep within me I drink my whisky from the bottle Time tells a tale of how fortune favours the brave Today might be my day Lay a trail so the birds can feast Tame the appetite of a hungry beast Can I find, the right place or the right time? You fool me once you fool me twice Rob a fool of money but it never dies You know me, you know what I could be! I drink my whisky from the bottle It burns no worse than any scream from deep within me I drink my whisky from the bottle Time tells a tale of how fortune favours the brave Today might be my day I got a will that wont stop burning I know the wheel keeps turning over I got a will that wont stop burning I know the wheel keeps turning over Today might be my day

I bought you flowers but we both know that we’ll never bloom We’d talk for hours but you never could say something new It’s on the tip of your tongue From the barrel of my gun Don’t you see? Don’t you see? When our skin wears thin Don’t you see? Don’t you see? And everything’s good and well but it’s the love you sell I’m giving mine for free And won’t you help yourself I’m giving mine for free You said your body was mine But we both know it’s online For every man to see and live out every fantasy By the skin of my teeth You burning coals on my feet Don’t you see? Don’t you see? When our hearts wear thin Do we bleed? Do we bleed? And everything’s good and well but it’s the love you sell I’m giving mine for free And won’t you help yourself I’m giving mine for free But it’s the love you sell I’m giving mine for free If you don’t love yourself Then how you gonna love on me? You gotta love yourself (Don’t you see? Don’t you see?) You gotta love yourself (Don’t you see? Don’t you see?)

I gotta straighten out these veins Walk off the growing pains I got a venomous dream and it poisons the stream that we drink from I gotta wrestle with these words I gotta learn to come to terms With a white picket fence and a few married friends with their own lives And I know I use your sweetness to cover up my weakness And it’s only a dream You say, what about me? What about me? I gotta level with these lies I gotta find a nine to die I got a feverish hope and a sweat that will soak to the bone Some call it a disease This over eagerness to please When you down on your knees leaves a bad taste And I know I use your sweetness to cover up my weakness And it’s only a dream You say, what about me? What about me? Some of us grow up in circumstance And some of us are broken by the ones we love Some of us will live our lives on hopeless paper dreams And I know I use your sweetness to cover up my weakness And it’s only a dream You say, what about me? What about me?

Redlight 03:37
A red light, the first bite of an awkward love affair The stop start, beating heart lovers coming up for air And look now, look now, look at what we’ve gone and done We had fun, cut and run, leave it for a rainy day And it’s ok to wanna run with the broken hearted And I can tell you got a way with the words my darling All the other guys are broke so we better get started It’s ok to give your love away So excuse all the clues and the cheap one liners (it’s alright) All the games that we play, can we just get started (It’s ok) Me and you we abuse what the good Lord gave us We just want to give our love away All my life I been waiting, waiting for you to say All my life I been waiting, waiting for you to say And it’s ok to wanna run with the broken hearted And I can tell you got a way with the words my darling All the other guys are broke so we better get started It’s ok to give your love away A red light, the insight to know how it’s gonna end A tongue tied fist fight, must be Saturday again So excuse all the clues and the cheap one liners (it’s alright) All the games that we play, can we just get started (It’s ok) Me and you we abuse what the good Lord gave us We just want to give our love away All my life I been waiting, waiting for you to say All my life I been waiting, waiting for you to say

Beg, steal and borrow to get to tomorrow What’s the worst you could do? Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue What’s the worst you could do? And I know it all, I just finally took the time to say You wear a white dress, you know it’s a sin to look so proud And I’ll wear a black suit, to help you, to blend with the crowd Because I know it all, I just finally took the time to write it down Now you walking down the aisle like you got no place else to run What’s the worst I could do? And I’m following your footsteps, breaking one by one What’s the worst I could do? And I know it all, I just finally took the time to say You wear a white dress, you know it’s a sin to look so proud And I’ll wear a black suit, to help you, to blend with the crowd Because I know it all, I just finally took the time to say Stop! Whose got any good reason why these two should not be wed While I hold my breath I said stop! Please stand I got a different plan Break up a happy home Well I hold breath inside I just finally took the time to write it down I just finally took the time to write it down Sleep with one eye open (I just finally took the time to write it down) Sleep with one eye open (I just finally took the time to write it down)

Oh My Soul 04:30
I don’t take no photographs, I keep the memories in my head And one day should I forget your smiling face Then we both know I wouldn’t be anything Oh my, oh my soul! Has been breaking since I was ten years old Oh my, oh my soul! Has been breaking since I was ten years old And they say life goes on and we go strong And they say life goes on but they were wrong But they were wrong! No one came the day that you left The clothes you wore lay folded on your bed And I was too young to understand that Forever meant exactly what it meant Oh my, oh my soul! Has been breaking since I was ten years old Oh my, oh my soul! Has been breaking since I was ten years old And they say life goes on and we go strong And they say life goes on but they were wrong But they were wrong!
