Wake Me Up, Drop Me Out
03:52
|
|||
|
You’re in the back, I’m at the wheel
The others interchange like they were never even real
Eyes on the road, I look straight ahead
Just in case my amber finally turns to red
And I can feel it slipping away
Barely got a grip on the world I knew today
Wake me up
I see the wheel spin and I can’t slow it down
Or turn this dream around
Drop me out
The car is moving faster and there is no brake
So you’ve got to wake me up
The car’s disappeared, It’s on a roll
I’m still tryin’ to steer it with some cheap remote control
Guessing the turns, I’m driving blind
Swerving broken pieces of my mind
And I can feel it slipping away
This is not a game that I ever wish to play
Wake me up
I see the wheel spin and I can’t slow it down
Or turn this dream around
Drop me out
The car is moving faster and there is no brake
So you’ve got to wake me up
Something’s running through my veins
That can’t be real
So someone tell my brain
And everybody’s left me for dust
Tryin’ to hitch a ride with a driver they can trust
And that’s why you must
Wake me up
I see the wheel spin and I can’t slow it down
Or turn this dream around
Drop me out
The car is moving faster and there is no brake
So you’ve got to wake me up

Fly Away Home
03:32
|
|||
|
Plans were made and we were on our way
But life had other ideas
And suddenly the sky turned grey
Where did it all go wrong
Everything that we knew was gone
Where did it all go
You’ve got to fly away home
You’ve got to hide away
Fly away home, you’ve got to hide away
’Til the storm is gone
Our glory days when we would say
The world was ours for the taking
Now we stare through window panes
Where did it all go wrong
Believe me you’re not the only one
You’re never alone but
You’ve got to fly away home
You’ve got to hide away
Fly away home, you’ve got to hide away
’Til the storm is gone
And if you hide, I’ll be on your side
You’ve got to fly away home
You’ve got to hide away
Fly away home, you’ve got to hide away
’Til the storm is gone
’Til the storm is gone
You’ve got to fly
Fly Away Home
Fly Away Home

How Much It Means
05:17
|
|||
|
Sorry for the words I never said
And all the ones I offered you instead
Time moved on and later was now too late
I’m hoping that time won’t have its way
And after your turn in bad company
Well you wouldn’t believe just how much it means
You wouldn’t believe just how much it means to me
Oh no
I hide behind the outlook I’ve been fed
It’s like a mask that’s stapled to my head
But I’m not tryin' to justify myself
I can be so cold, cold as hell
But if you heard all all my thoughts and saw my memories
Well you wouldn’t believe just how much it means
You wouldn’t believe just how much it means to me
Oh no
If I could ever let you in then you would see who I am
But even if you knew what I’d been through
You’d never understand
Lookin’ back about three years today
When the moment carried you away
I ask myself that question every day
Was it even me or just the one on the stage
Oh and after an evening singin’ in key
Well you wouldn’t believe just how much it means
You wouldn’t believe just how much it means to me
Oh no

Try A Little Love
02:56
|
|||
|
You drift in and out of me
Corner me in then set me free
We drift in and out of love
Follow feelings like orders from above
Everybody knows emotions lie
Tell me why we can’t decide to
Try, try, try a little love
Coz nothing else is good enough
When you work it out
You’ll see that there’s enough of it about
You drift in and out of us
Plan the whole trip then jump the bus
We drift in and out of love
Make ourselves feel like we’re not strong enough
Before you turn around and say goodbye
Look at what you’ve found and maybe
Try, try, try a little love
Coz nothing else is good enough
When you work it out
You’ll see that there’s enough of it about
Lover, my lover
Please tell me what we’re fighting for
Lover, my lover
Two forces in a state of war
Lover, my lover
I just can’t take it anymore
It’s a real rollercoaster ride
Hands inside the vehicle and
Try, try, try a little love
Coz nothing else is good enough
When you work it out
You’ll see that there’s enough of it about
Try a little love
Coz nothing else is good enough
When you work it out
You’ll see that there’s enough of it about

The One To Blame
04:12
|
|||
|
Nothing is spoken at the end of the day
The guests are leaving, the laughs fade away
Some lonely silence spins through the room
And then you see them, those old faded faces you once knew
Their smiles are beaming, there’s dust in your eye
You can’t bear to let them ever see you cry
You’ll never know unless you let your story go
And clear your own name
Let the feeling flow
Until you see you can’t be the one to blame
Something is broken, something feels wrong
Something your instinct has known all along
We’re born with our eyes closed and that’s how we live
The thing about forgiveness, there needs to be something to forgive
Your intuition is fear in disguise
You drink in the fiction, eat up the lies
You’ll never know unless you let your story go
And clear your own name
Let the feeling flow
Until you see you can’t be the one to blame
Shame is the sentence for a wicked heart
But sometimes the prisoner is also the guard
You’ll never know
Unless you let your story go and clear your own name
Let the feeling flow
Until you see you can’t be the one to blame
Until you see you can’t be the one to blame

Let The Dove Fly
04:40
|
|||
|
All the world is watching, get yourself together
Though it isn’t nothing, it won’t last forever
People will get nervous, don’t like worried faces
Just don’t be too conscious, things will find their places
Like the boy that’s calling into wood and darkness
You are slowly falling, learning where the spark is
It’s between the pages, sounding in the silence
Truth is not outrageous, it’s a simple cadence
Let The Dove fly and pretend
Noah’s rainbow is at hand
And the people they will shout
You’re our saviour, make us proud
They’ll shout and you’ll be saved
From the death that you crave
You can hear them screaming, feeding on sensation
So delay your dreaming, you’ve got to be patient
Straighten tall and look up, hope can be so healing
Pick the wonder-book up just forget this feeling
Let The Dove fly and pretend
Noah’s rainbow is at hand
And the people they will shout
You’re our saviour, make us proud
They’ll shout and you’ll be saved
From the death that you crave
Let The Dove fly and pretend
Noah’s rainbow is at hand
And the people they will shout
You’re our saviour, make us proud
Oh let The Dove fly and pretend
Noah’s rainbow is at hand
And the people they will shout
You’re our saviour, make us proud
They’ll shout and you’ll be saved
From the death that you crave
Let the dove fly
Let the dove fly

Everybody Else
03:56
|
|||
|
This singular flame, my shifting frame
Keeping just above the flood
I’m an individual with residual trace
Of alcohol in my blood
Never gonna read about my future plans
Illegible palms on my dirty hands
Swallow the week, spit up the weekend
And hand it in a bag to my Sunday friend
Sex and sex and sex is here,
We all want it, we’re always thinking on it
When empty dreams are ploughed up it seems
We all rely heavily upon it
Laughter and smiles on mile-stretched faces
Cracked lines and lost minds in dangerous places
When pretty paper can appear to hide the fear
I really don’t know what I’m doing here
Just like everybody else
Everybody else
Just like everybody else
Just like everybody else
Jesus came and Jesus claimed
To be the one and only way in
But you tell me that’s the easiest street for the people hung up on sin
So be a good citizen, work too hard
2-1 favourite on your nearest god
Just pray the same way that you did yesterday
So the girl in head office can file you away
Just like everybody else
Everybody else
Just like everybody else
Just like everybody else
Just like everybody else
Everybody else
Just like everybody else
Just like everybody else

I Can't Tell You
02:53
|
|||
|
I can’t tell you I’m in love
I’d say too much and scare you off
You had lost your faith in the world
The woman had returned to the girl
In the woods of wolves and men
Scared to sleep or dream again
That’s why I can’t tell you I’m in love
I can’t tell you I’m in love
Your moat runs deep, your guard is up
Love was only mirrors and smoke
Under the enchantment of hope
He was stuck inside his mind
Callous in disguise as kind
That’s why I can’t tell you
I’m in love with your very heart
I fear that I was from the start
Now every time I try to reach inside
You break apart
I can’t tell you I’m in love
The storm has come, the seas are rough
But I’ll walk with you in the rain
Stand beside you, facing your pain
Hope is hoping once again
You’ll fall under its spell, and then
That’s when I can tell you I’m in love

Welcome To The World
04:25
|
|||
|
I can’t believe I’m here to see your brand new face
You didn’t want to move but the lease was up in your previous place
I’d been a little bit scared to hold a body so small
But when they gave me you, my heart filled up and love was all
Welcome to the word, it’s a crazy place
Try your best to not get caught in a lifelong human race
I hope you find love, I hope you find peace
I hope you know wherever you are is where you’re meant to be
Welcome to the world
I’m gonna mess things up coz that’s what people do
But I’ll always care and I’ll never run when it comes to you
I’ve been around a while but I don’t understand much
All I know is it all made sense when I felt your touch
Welcome to the word, it’s a crazy place
Never feel you must compete in a lifelong human race
I hope you find love, I hope you find peace
I hope you know wherever you are is where you’re meant to be
Welcome to the world
We just met, don’t even know you yet
But I know I love
I can’t believe I’m here to see your brand new face
The world shrunk down to the size of you in that time and space
Welcome to the word, it’s a crazy place
Try your best to not get caught in a lifelong human race
I hope you find love, I hope you find peace
I hope you know wherever you are is where you’re meant to be
Welcome to the world
Yeah
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world

Find A Home
03:57
|

|
Come, little one, lift your head up high
You will see the sun if you close your eyes
You were the one teaching me to fly
And when you were done, well I cut the tie
Said goodbye to you
I was just trying to find a home
I didn't want to leave you on your own
Of all the friends I've ever known
You took our love and you cast it in stone
Wait for the world ‘cause it’s catching up
It will place your pearl in its perfect cup
Stay where you, there’s no crying now
And the sea of stars makes it right somehow
Heaven’s flowers bloom
I was just trying to find a home
I didn't want to leave you on your own
Of all the friends I've ever known
You took our love and you cast it in stone
You cast it in stone
There comes a day when the winds must change
But we’ll be ok if we don’t let them blow us away
I was just trying to find a home
I didn't want to leave you on your own
Of all the friends I've ever known
You took our love and you cast it in stone

Drop This Song
03:20
|
|||
|
Say goodbye and tell you why
Why I’m leaving this behind
Why you came into my mind
It’s your day and I’m away
And this is my last chance to say
I hope you’re happy all your days
Anyway I should go out on a good note
And maybe I’ll buy you a card some day
I might see you down the line but in the meantime
I’ll drop this song off on my way
So these words are overdue
But I know that I love you
And I know you feel it too
I can’t see who you will become
In the between the setting suns
But seize the moment, there’s only one
Anyway I should go out on a good note
And maybe I’ll buy you a card some day
I might see you down the line but in the meantime
I’ll drop this song off on my way
Anyway I should go out on a good note
And maybe I’ll buy you a card some day
I might see you down the line but in the meantime
I’ll drop this song off on my way

Iain Hornal St Albans, UK
Songer/singwriter and touring member of 10cc & Jeff Lynne's ELO. Many streams of influence flow through Iain's music - flashes of classic rock that suggest David Bowie, Tom Petty & Elvis Costello blend with the lush harmony and rich textures of The Beach Boys and Crowded House. His music is undeniably pop, but drawn from an era when pop music had a brain, a soul, and a heart. ... more
