Elated So here am I
A flock of white swans drift slowly by
A ballerina dissolves in my eye
I’m still the girl with the beautiful smile
The apple of my Daddy’s eye

Innocence as soft as summer rain
Bitter sweet, the dull of novocaine

Tell everybody I’m elated
Armour plated
Coz nothing penetrates the make up
I’m all grown up
Just killing time

So why am I
Still building sandcastles in the sky
While I’m losing the will to survive
I lie here watching the days drift slowly by
Raise my head up and wonder why

Fairytales and daisy chains have died
Promises so sweet deceive me and I

Chorus

Instrumental

Chorus

Black and White I thought I’d write a song about you and I
All the good and the bad times, no lullaby
Do I kill you softly?
Build you up or break you down?
No I won’t go quietly read the headlines it’s there screaming it out

Shut up and you can hear me spitting you out, the party’s over
How come, you could never figure it out?
Oh it makes me wonder
I’m done too many fights wasting my time it’s all or nothing baby
The colours have faded let’s face it so black and white

You thought you were invincible in your mind
Did you think I’d be that stupid coz love is blind?
Gonna rock you gently
Gonna fool you with a kiss?
When you think you’ve got me, bye bye baby I’m the one who’s calling it quits

Crash and Burn When was the last time?
You did something for the first time?
Who needs a reason to take a chance anyway?
You’ve learnt to fake it
You think you’re safe within your own skin
Did you ever realize we’re on the edge just waiting to dive in?

Coz we’re running through the red lights
Through the dark into the daylight
Let’s risk it all tonight
So what if we crash and burn

What would it feel like?
To open your eyes and not look away
Walking the tightrope you’re afraid to fall
Always tomorrow
Do you play for real or just for show?
You never realize you’re on the edge so just let go

Coz we’re running through the red lights
Through the dark into the daylight
Let’s risk it all tonight
So what if we crash and burn
Tired of living on the outside
And with 20 20 hindsight
I’m hanging onto life and I’m learning to crash and burn

I should take my own advice
But I’m only human
Why don’t we roll the dice?
Win or lose I’d risk it all

Good Day It was a good day
Shame about the weather
It really don't matter, because we're together
Under the moon and stars
I'll sing you a love song
It was a good day, they don't come much better

You say I’m beautiful and I think you’re right
We sit fire-flies burn out in the night
If you notice me shiver, I’m really not cold
I’m just falling for you baby and I want you to hold me

Chorus

You tell me your secrets and I tell you mine
The glow of the campfire and the taste of red wine
You could tell me anything and I’ll know it’s true
And I’d give you everything to hear ‘I love you’

Chorus

Mid 8

(oooh) It’s beautiful (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(oooh) So beautiful (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Tell me that it’s gonna last forever oh

What Would You Do? Everyday you wake up
Pour yourself a cup of coffee
List the jobs that you must do but hate
Everyday is just like Groundhog Day
There’s always bills to pay
A routine that will keep you safe

When I can’t sleep at night
It’s the little things I keep in sight (that I hold onto)

If your time was running out
And the sky was falling down
And God’s pointing right at you
Tell me what would you do

Would you stop to pay your bills?
Or go running for the hills
When there’s everything to lose
Tell me what would you do

Is it heads or tails
Or does God say
Who lives to cry or who will take the train ride to the sky
If I close my eyes too long
Will I be 50 when I open them?
And wonder where I’ve gone

Mid 8
So on your judgement day
Your angel is asking you
What would you change?
What would you keep the same?
If you could have one more day
What would you do?

Hour of Sunshine You’re my latest pitfall
You’re my page of missed calls
You’re nothing but a great waste of time

You showed up on my radar
You drove up in your mate’s car
You’re nothing, but a great waste of time

I don’t need fancy holidays; yeah that’s what they all say
This is crazy yeah you bet your like
And size doesn’t matter, not your money I’m after
This is crazy but I’ll give you a try

Who you with, who you with who you really with

You’re my daily hour of sunshine
Feel you on my skin and everything’s alright
You’re my favourite waste of my time
Fresh from the start and everything’s alright
Everything’s alright, alright

You say that you’re made up
You say that I’m good luck
But I’m fragile so handle with care

My friends say it won’t last
My friends want the last laugh
But you’re trouble that I love to wear

So I’ll be your secret
And if you never repeat it
Than baby we’ll be just fine

I’ve fallen right through ya
I’m deep underwater
This is crazy but lets waste some time

Who you with, who you with, who you really with...

You Don’t Know My Name Chorus

You don’t know my name
But I hope it won’t be long now
Really hope it won’t be long now

All it took
Was a look
And now you’re haunting me

We don’t speak
We don’t talk
But I feel you calling me

Chorus

I don’t know
Who you are
Right now you’re still the perfect stranger

Should I stay
Should I go
Could be I like the taste of danger

Mid 8

Come on baby take me in hand
Come on baby, be a man
If you don’t keep me waiting
Tonight you could be celebrating

You could be my midnight cowboy
Come and be my midnight cowboy

Love Struck Yesterday I read it in my horoscope
It was meant to be
Is it real or just a passing fantasy?
A brush with destiny?

I’m an overnight success
Now everything makes sense
I’m living in the perfect tense

Chorus

Love struck
If you’re free to fall in love, fall in love, take up the invitation
Love struck
If you’re single maybe you should look for more, than just physical attraction
Love struck
An opportunity will come, so get ready, for a big lifestyle, decision
Love struck
But look out for the full moon, on a Wednesday, and beware of a tall and dark, distraction

Positively and honestly I’m in love with you
I’ve been swept off my feet
Strange to think that it was only yesterday
My life was so incomplete

It’s an overnight success
Now everything makes sense
I’m living in the perfect tense

Chorus
Mid 8
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday x2

Cheating Man I’ve seen that guilty face too many times before
Now it’s killing me
Your body language tells me everything I need to know
Please spare me the details
Just tell me one thing babe
How does a cheating man feel?

I’ve read too many books while I’ve been sitting on my own
Same familiar drama
But now that I’m the lead rehearsing all my lines
Before the curtain falls
Just tell me one thing babe
How does a cheating man feel?

Chorus

Cos I’m not staying home
Just to be alone, anymore
And I’m not going back
To where I was before, never mind

While there’s still time for me
I’ve got my dignity
I’ll take my chance and leave
To chase another dream and when you’ve got no way to turn back time
That’s when you’ll know
Just how a cheating man feels

You say you didn’t mean for it to end this way
Huh!
What did you expect?
Another year or two of hoping that I’d never find out
But now the day has come
Just tell me one thing babe
How does a cheating man feel?

Chorus
Mid 8
2nd half chorus (while there’s still time for me etc)
