Won't Give In (N. Finn, T. Finn) (4:17)
 
If you call me up, I'll say a few words
And I'll try not to speak too long
Please to be kind as I try to explain
Cos I'll probably get it all wrong
What does it mean when you promise someone
That no matter how hard and whatever may come

It means that I won't give in
Won't give in, won't give in
Cos everyone I love is here
Play it once then we disappear

Once in a while I return to the fold
And the people I call my own
Even if time is just a flicker of light
And we all have to die alone
What does it mean when you belong to someone
When you're born with a name and you carry it on

It means that I won't give in
Won't give in, won't give in
Cos everyone I love is here
All at once they show you how to get real

Come on now, come on now
Reveal it, I can see it in you
Come on now, come on now
Can you fell it, well turn around won't ya
The right time, the right place
Right now

A chance is made, a chance is lost
I carry myself to the edge of the earth

It means that I won't give in, won't give in
Cos everyone I love is here
Say it once, then we disappear

 

Nothing Wrong With You (N. Finn, T. Finn) (4:10)
 
It's a slow parade
Down a dusty road
We've learned to take abuse
From devils we don't know
People who have lost all heart
Look for someone else to blame
You just keep on walking
When they call you a dirty name.

All the mud in this town
All the dirt in this world.
None of it sticks on you
You shake it off
Cos you're better than that.
And you don't need it.
There's nothing wrong with you.

The moment that we dread.
It comes all too soon
But voices in your head
Still carry on the tune
Let the sound come in
From the world outside
You just keep on singing
When they tell you filthy lies.

All the mud in this town
All the dirt in this world
None of it sticks on you
You shake it off
Cos you're better than that
And you don't need it
There's nothing wrong with you

Remember how it made you hurt
Even as you fight to go on
Turn it into something else
Turn it into something else

All the mud in this town
All the dirt in this world
None of it sticks on you
You shake it off
Cos you're better than that
And you don't need it
There's nothing wrong with you
There's nothing wrong with you
I'll walk along with you
 
Anything Can Happen (N. Finn, T. Finn) (3:04)
 
The game has begun
And I stumble to the front
There's no real control of a random event

But I will make my chances
Cos anything can happen
Don't believe it's over
Cos anything can happen

I could never give it up
I could never relent
Cos I can't wait to see what will
Happen to me next

It doesn't matter what we did wrong
Makes no difference to me
I see the light in you eyes
And your dancing feet

I'm coming round today
To gather in the pieces
Give in to the mystery

But I will make my chances
Cos anything can happen
Don't believe it's over
Cos anything can happen

I will make it shine
I will make it rain sometimes

 

Luckiest Man Alive (N. Finn, T. Finn) (3:56)
 
I know that it's you behind
Everything that I do
And I wouldn't try to hide
Who I am from you
It's all me that you see
I was ready for another try
But I needed you to set me free
Must be the luckiest man alive

Man finds love in his life
He's the luckiest man alive
Someone true by his side
He's the luckiest man alive
She cut right through his foolish pride
He's the luckiest man alive

Never had the time before
Leaving things where they fell
I was going door to door
Always thinking I was somewhere else
You saw me and what I could be
Now I know what love is for
It's the only thing that sets you free
Must be the luckiest man alive

Man finds love in his life
He's the luckiest man alive
Someone true by his side
He's the luckiest man alive
She cut right through his foolish pride
He's the luckiest man alive

Feel the motion it's an endless ocean
Rocking gently and moving deeply
Feels like always been knocked sideways
Over and over by the strength of your love

Man finds love in his life
He's the luckiest man alive
Someone true

 

Homesick (N. Finn, T. Finn) (3:48)
 
In the shopping mall
I'm surrounded by a parking lot
Walking down the aisle
I was thinking 'bout what I had lost
On a Sunday morning
My home town is feeling strange to me
In the stadium
Dark forces are gathering

Homesick for the people that I live with
Homesick for the spirit I'm missing
Homesick for the country that I'm living in

First you make me hungry
Then you feed me something I don't want
There's no satisfaction for an aching heart
But life goes on
And when I complain I get thrown out of the restaurant

Homesick for the people that I live with
Homesick for the spirit I'm missing
Homesick for the country that I'm living in

 

Disembodied Voices (N. Finn, T. Finn) (3:40)
 
Talking with my brother
When the lights went out
Down the hallway 40 years ago
What became much harder was so easy then
Opening up and letting go

Disembodied voices
Floating in the air
This place in the darkness
Could be anywhere

Talking to each other as we wait for sleep
The angle in the detail soon arrives
Spreading her wings over every memory
Keeping all our hopes alive

Disembodied voices
Floating in the air
This place in the darkness
Could be anywhere

We all made our choices
Let's work out what we're going to do
Disembodied voices
Revealing what we know is true
And so much is here
If we all disappear
We could be anywhere
We could be anywhere

 

A Life Between Us (N. Finn, T. Finn) (3:53)
 
In so many ways I'm the same as you
And so many things are better left unsaid
From out of a deep well
The water flows into the sea
That's the way it starts
And continues to unfold
Like the both of us
That will never change

And we're staring at each other
Like the banks of a river
And we can't get any closer

I won't give control to anyone
I walk around kiss the ground
Like I own the place
But in the passage of time
The riverbanks get washed away
And that's the way it starts
And continues to evolve
I rebuild myself, you watch over me

And we're staring at each other
Like the banks of a river
And we can't get any closer
But we form a life between us

And brother must be the different
Direction we're facing
You're still as unknown as ever
Are you still someone
Who'll watch over me

And we're staring at each other
Like the banks of a river
And we can't get any closer
But we form a life between us

 

All God's Children (N. Finn, T. Finn) (3:47)
 
We're all God's children
And God is a woman
But we still don't know who the father is
I can't help thinking
There's a fortune riding
On the answer to that question
Stop for a moment
And forget the enemy
Is there something you're not telling us

Got to make you less lonely
Try to make you less lonely

We're globalising
But we don't like competition
And we still don't know who the father is
You're so damn pretty
And don't you know it
Here's a kiss and then we all make up

Got to make you less lonely
Got to make you less lonely

All sides die happy
This is the last chance
We got to do it now
People are waiting
For love to come around
All this attention
We got to stick around

Got to make you less lonely
Got to make you less lonely

 

Edible Flowers (N. Finn, T. Finn) (4:51)
 
Everybody wants the same thing
Everybody wants the same thing
To see another birthday
Look at all the pretty numbers
Look at all the pretty numbers
Scattered over the calendar
I can see my reflection
I can see my reflection
In the shop window

Who owns that space
Declare it if you dare tonight
Don't let the moment pass
Until another day
Bright lights dissolve
Like sugar deep inside you now
It all ends up the same somehow
I'm hardly here at all

All the trash and the treasure
All the trash and the treasure
All the pain and the pleasure
Taste the edible flowers
Taste the edible flowers
Scattered in the salad days

Who owns that space
Declare it if you dare tonight
Don't let the moment pass until another day
Bright lights dissolve
Like sugar deep inside you now
And still the rain keeps coming down
I'm hardly here at all

And everything's gone quiet now
I'm hardly here at all

 

All the Colours (N. Finn, T. Finn) (2:11)
 
I can never forget the day we said goodbye
Holding your hand a rainbow low in the sky
And all the colours there to gather you up
And carry you up
All the colours there to gather you up

Now we're left here to get on with our things
Writing it down and working with wood and strings
And all the colours there to open us up
And bring us luck
All the colours there to open us up

You went walking through that door
Leaving it ajar
Whenever things come to an end
It takes a while to close it again
And all the colours gently pushing it shut
They're pushing it shut
All the colours there to open us up
And bring us luck
All the colours there to gather us up
To gather us up
To gather us up
To gather you up again

 

Part of Me, Part of You (N. Finn, T. Finn) (3:29)
 
Over these green hills
Blue electric light
Always in my blood
Forever in my eye
Black window space
Basket made of flax
Broken mirror view
Let your eyes relax

Mist on the glass
Watch it all come to pass
Once again we'll breathe in the view
It's part of me, part of you

Now my voice won't sing
And my tears won't cry
Your disciple waits
For any good advice
Our place in time
Is not set in stone
And we'll still be here
When the cows come home

Mist on the glass
Watch it all come to pass
Once again we'll breathe in the view
It's part of me, part of you

It has to be clear inside my head
And I'm still in a dream
In a dream that won't end

Once again we'll breathe in the view
It's part of me, part of you
And it has to be clear
It has to be clear inside my head

 

Gentle Hum (N. Finn, T. Finn) (4:36)
 
This bird has to sing
My heart has to follow
A man with no soul
Is wooden and hallow

This gentle hum
Has just begun
This gentle hum
Will make us one

My wish is for you
An end to your sorrow.
And if it comes true
You'll wake up tomorrow (alone)

With a gentle hum
Is just begun
This gentle hum
Will make us one

There
For anyone who cares
Solemn faces in the courtroom stare

And this gentle hum
Will wake up tomorrow

This gentle hum
Coming up from before
Find another meaning inside
This gentle hum
Giving it back to me
Find another meaning in your life
