Lyrics:
On the big screen of life and it’s all in 3-D
Played all the bad parts in rom-comedy
Watch it back it’s such sad irony
Left at the back of the shelf
At the front of the queue and the rains getting worse
A voice says “Excuse me, I think that I’m first”
No chance to prepare or rehearse
I’m not liking myself
Oh through all the days and all the nights
You really didn’t get me
Oh through all the Lays and all the fights
You never really got me
Turned to stone. Left alone all alone. Never made the end zone. Put back at the back of the shelf.
Never slow in just peaking too soon
Finding I was The elephant in the room
Days that feel like an old cartoon
I’m not liking myself
Why was it always just right or just wrong
So instrumental in writing our song
I got no rhythm - so I can’t dance along
It just writes itself
Oh through all the days and all the nights
You really didn’t get me
Oh through all the Lays and all the fights
You never really got me
Turned to stone. Left alone all alone. Never made the end zone. Put back at the back of the shelf.
Why was it always just right or just wrong
So instrumental in writing our song
I got no rhythm - so I can’t dance along
It just writes itself
You never failed to say I wouldn’t succeed
So I’d agree and then you just disagreed
You were at fault and that’s fully guaranteed
So in love with yourself.
So through all those days and all those nights
I’m really now getting you
And hey, through all the lays and all the fights
I’m really forgetting you
You’ve Turned to stone. You’re left alone on your own. There never was an end zone. I put you back at the back of the shelf.

Lyrics:
Every now and then
I think back to when
We were school kids out in your yard.
You wore your Mama's heels and played with your dolls.
I rode my bike and played with Match Box cars
Then we got older,
Grew a little bolder.
Seventh heaven out behind the garage.
Your Daddy found out,
Was gonna kick my ass.
Until your Mama calmed him right back down.
Oh you've got me tumbling down a hill like a fool.
I ain't never gonna be the same.
I want those DAYS BACK
You got the boy playing in my heart again.
I want those DAYS BACK.
Oh you got me playing.
Lord I'm praying this never ends.
Babe do you remember way back in the day
Before we knew the ways of the world.
Never had a worry life was so carefree.
I was yours, and you were my girl.
Now we're together
Way more than friends
Love will show us the way
When you're in my arms
Your sweet loving charms
Make my worries all go away.
Oh you've got me stumbling around like a fool.
I ain't never gonna be the same.
We want those DAYS BACK
Feel the kids
Running through our hearts again.
We want those DAYS BACK
Oh it's got us playing
Lord we're praying
This never ends.
We want those DAYS BACK

Verse1:
You wind up feeling dejected
Your heart's way up on the shelf
Your story's much too long to tell
So you kept it all
To yourself
When it comes so unexpected
It leaves you so unprepared
The knowing look that
Steals your breath
When you realise
Someone cares
Chorus1:
Its spot on
You just know when you feel it
Oh its spot on
You just know that you need it
Oh you've been chasin this one for so long
And now its finally
Coming home spot on
Verse2:
Its so much more than a memory
Like walkin over the sun
The feeling hits you
In your bones
When you know that its
One on one
You feel it running underground
Its movin' over the lawn
You feel it get
Between your toes
and move you
Right along
Chorus2:
Its spot on
You just know when you feel it
Oh its spot on
You just know that you need it
Oh you've been chasin this one for so long
And now its finally
Coming home spot on
You've been chasin this one for so long
And now its finally
Hittin home spot on
Bridge:
And don't it feel good
When a thing goes right
And don't it feel good
When you make the mark
And don't it feel good
When you've got a clean slate
Yeah you're seein' eye to eye
Yeah you've got a fresh start
Solo:
Chorus3:
Oh its spot on
You just know when you feel it
Oh its spot on
You just gotta believe it
Oh you've been chasin this one for so long
And now its finally
Coming home spot on
Oh you've been chasin this one for so long
And now its finally
Hittin home spot on

Lyrics:
Shall we wait and see
Just let it be
Keep it understated
Nothing complicated
But half the time
I've half the mind
To say let's leave it
Bet you won't believe it
If I call you up
Would you act grown up
Will it make the sunshine
Will it make my day fine
You're there all day
In every way
Like a new fixation
Is there an explanation
The king of cool he cries in kid gloves
A fool who's joined the fools who fall in love
I don't want to say enoughs enough
But maybe
I'm infatuated with your love
No one else compares
No one else compares
No one else compares to you
No one else compares
No one else compares
No one else compares to you

Lyrics:
I never knew love could hurt so bad
I thought it would always feel brand new
You broke my heart
And lied and made me sad
What makes you do the things you do?
Why can't you see
I'm the only one for you?
Baby stop wasting our time
I thought by now
You'd know my love is true
Stop wasting our time!
I thought I knew
What a kiss should be
Then you came along and proved me wrong
You kissed my lips
Breathed sweet life into me
Didn't know I'd been dead so long
Why can't you see
I'm the only one for you?
Baby stop wasting our time
I thought by now
You'd know my love is true
Stop wasting our time!
You better jump right back
Jump right back
You better jump right back
I never knew love could hurt so bad
I thought it would always feel brand new
You broke my heart
And lied and made me sad
What makes you do the things you do?
Why can't you see
I'm the only one for you?
Baby stop wasting our time
I thought by now
You'd know my love is true
Stop wasting our time!
You better jump right back
Jump right back
You better jump right back

Belford

Lyrics:
You and I, we set the plan in motion
Or maybe just me and you didn't want to make waves
We framed our first dollar and hung it on the wall
And imagined smooth sailing for the rest of our days
But man plans and God laughs and laughs
And takes that veil and rips it in half
Nobody fixes things anymore
They buy replacements at the store
So turn out the lights and lock the door
'Cause we don't work in Belford anymore
You brought me dinner and the kids stayed in the car
Another bunch of weekend plans on hold
You said "They hardly even know who you are"
I was thinking of the last TV I sold
The mortgage is due, the work must be done
The bank don't care where the money comes from
Nobody fixes things anymore
They buy replacements at the store
So turn out the lights and lock the door
'Cause we don't drive through Belford anymore
And now they're saying the tax is going higher
Inflation's taking every last nickel and dime
And I know you need me, I know you care
I know you want a little piece of my time
I only wish you understood
I TRIED TO DO THE BEST I COULD...
I couldn't tell my hope from my need and
A dream's just another addiction to be freed from
I didn't want you to think less of me
I'm not the hero you wanted me to be
So turn out the lights and lock the door
'Cause we don't drive through Belford anymore

Lyrics:
Try - turning the dial - around for a while till you hear us
Such - a different scene - forget squeaky clean try rebellious
We’re - so easy to find - don’t get left behind - Google Indie
And - tell friends that you found - an alternative sound - pop graffiti
It’s something that happened a long time ago
But somehow you still think you’re fielding
Maybe it’s time for letting you know
Elvis has left the building
Let -me take hold your hand - walk through the land of indie
Where - you’ll find something new.
Maybe borrowed and blue but discretely
Over - there on the stage - the music will rage - let it take you
Far away from the norm - the musical porn will seduce you
It’s something that happened a long time ago
But somehow you still think you’re fielding
Maybe it’s time for letting you know
Elvis has left the building
So much more that can fill your mind
You never know what - you might find
You’ve heard too much what has gone before
Time to step through the opening door
Yes- its still Rock n Roll - full of heart and soul - not for streaming
Time to wake yourselves up - drink from the cup and stop dreaming
Yes- 4 beats to the bar - a driving guitar -
Fender - bending
Full - of sweet melodies, Lead harmonies - sudden ending
It’s something that happened a long time ago
But somehow you still think you’re fielding
Maybe it’s time for letting you know
Elvis has left the building
