Queen for a Day

So I lay down on the floor
cause I can’t stand anymore.
And I call out to my heroes
but they did, they didn’t answer.
So I cry, and I cry, and I cry and lord
as I break down under the sky.
Oh please don’t be mad at me again.
Don’t you know you’re my only friend?
And ohhhhhhh
as I break down under the sky.
So I build my fortress in this mess.
Gonna hide my hope my fear in this dress.
But I do dream something better for me.
But those dreams are farther, and farther
and farther between.
As I break down under the sky.
And ohhh
as I break down under the sky. (x4)

All My Life

I say I say, I feel it go underway, underway.
Entrenched in poor trust and poor taste,
a feeling of lost time and space.
And I watch it go.
Oh too slow too slow, I watch it go undertow, undertow.
It falls out of my hand, my hand,
another that's sunk in sand, in sand.
Now I watch it go.
And I watch it go, having you all my life.
Feel it go, having you by my side.
I feel it go, having you all my life, all my life.
Now watch it go, having you by my side, by my side.
All my life, all my life.
And I watch it go
by my side, by my side.
And I feel it go. (x4)
Coz I feel it go
having you all my life, all my life.
And I watch it go. I feel it go. I feel it go. And I watch it go.
And I watch it go.
All my life, all my life.
Watch it go
by my side, by my side.
Feel it go. (x2)
All my life, all my life.
Having you
by my side, by my side.
Watch it go.
All my life, all my life
Having you
by my side, by my side.

Wake up on that hardboard floor. It’s time to act, to want for more.
Well I see that’s an open house one for all, but everybody’s out.
It’s just you. Ooohhhh
You got a creak in your third doorstep,
broken pride, mixed with willful neglect.
But this says it all. Ooohhhh.
So you watch it from the top of ceiling
and you watch it break through
and you watch it break down oh no.
But you never checked the date
and now its way than more too late. Oh dear.
Well out of ten it’s a heart attack.
That moment’s over and that feeling’s back.
Coming for youooohhhh.
Mix and match the colours of your choice,
combination that gives you your voice.
But it’s nothing. Ooohhhh.
So you write it on a piece of parchment
that you held for your plan
that you held in your hand oh no.
But you never checked the date
and now its way than more too late. Oh dear.
And they’ll wait, and they’ll wait, and they’ll wait for you.
And they’ll throw, and they’ll drink, and make noise for you.
And they’ll dance, and they’ll forget your name for you.
Wake up on that hardboard floor. It’s time to act, to want for more.
So arrive yourself at the train station
and please have some patience.
Please stop prod and pacing oh no.
Don’t be overly concerned with what you have and have not earned. It’s not a game of chance but an even song and dance.
It’s a trust you must not get caught up in all that’s boom and bust. (Wake up on the hardboard floor, it’s time to want for more.)
It’s merely wanderlust that you cannot completely trust.
(It’s time to want for more.)
The fray and disarray, and heartless acts throughout the day.
(Wake up on the hardboard floor, it’s time to want for more.)
That feeling that you crave is simply molded up like clay ohhh.
(It’s time to want for more.)

I missed the train again - maybe I did it by fault.
I hate to sound the same. Lord I know it’s getting old.
My little hat, ain’t got no rabbit. Oh baby I know.
So come on fill me in on all your little quirks.
I have experienced some but I’ve yet to see the worst.
You’ve warned me thoroughly ma’am. Oh baby I know.
Oh yeah, a one two three four.
Let’s dance around the bush we’ll avoid it for a while.
I know it’s a game we play to delay that final mile.
I know your legs are getting tired. Oh baby I know.
Oh yeah, woo.
So shake those cobwebs off and give yourself a smile.
We’ll dance ill health away. Hold it at bay now for tonight.
Your midnight run has run out. Oh baby I know
Oh yeah, heee.
Well white dress, shoulder length
and they knows them all, their confidence.
And their quick look, pass you by
and she smack your soul with a cider smile.
And the white dress, shoulder length
(Oh baby I know, I know.)
and they knows them all, their confidence.
(Oh baby I know, I know.)
And their quick look, pass you by
(Oh baby I know, I know.)
and she smack your soul with a cider smile.
(Oh baby I know, I know.)
And the white dress, shoulder length
(Oh baby I know, I know.)
and they knows them all, confidence.
(Oh baby I know, I know.)
And their quick look, pass you by
(Oh baby I know, I know.)
she smack your soul with a cider smile woo.

Oh.
My mind is sinking like a bag of stones
and yeah.
I do appreciate it when you’re home
and I feel it all.
Oh my bones
and my stones.
They all come after you
so you know
hell I’m coming home soon.
And oh.
Three knocks it tells you when it’s time to come
and yeah.
My heart is beating like an old snare drum
I feel it all.
Oh my bones
and my stones.
They all come after you
so you know
hell I am an animal.

Oh won’t you save her words?
She’s gone to the borderline.
Won’t you save her words?
She’s gone tonight.
Won’t you save her heart?
Mumma cooking on her own tonight.
Ooh save her words.
She’s gone and gone.
He heard her name
calling off onto the borderline.
Oh it smelt the same
as it turned into day.
Well he jumped the train.
Gonna meet her at the flower lights
down the lonely path that they only knew.
Don’t you know that love is all?
Oooh.
He she between the water war.
Oooh.
Well they reached the shore.
Sailing off to find another land
in the hidden fog.
Took them on the breeze.
She held his hand
as they reached another borderline.
Well he had a scar
from cheek to cheek.
Don’t you know that love is all?
Oooh.
He she between the water war.
Oooh
as they reached another borderline.
