Mother's Son 04:37
I guess I'll always be my mothers son heart of gold the only one who taught me how to use this heart of mine See my father liked to drink a bit and he always said he'd get it fixed but these days I'm not too sure I thought that I'd grow up to hate but you cant live your life that way I'm working on forgiving him, get a little comfort each and every day I'm going to look at my life through a microscope to see the things I don't already know I was made in an image, not talking about divine spirit made by the memories of my home So lets talk about these friends of mine some were keepers others passed the time but I did alright, I did alright and this island that I made my home taught me lessons all I'll ever know led me to you like a dog to a bone I'm going to look at my life through a microscope to see the things I don't already know I was made in an image, not talking about divine spirit made by the memories of my home It gave me a brother and gave me a lover and a place to call my own and although i miss her I'm always with her no matter where I roam no matter where I roam I'm going to look at my life through a microscope

London 02:43
Well I haven’t seen you in years but you drop in my mind every once in a while to remind me of what I could have become if I had not left when I was so young I think of the stories the untold, adventures and games of being brave and bold and these memories fade as time goes by, of innocent first kisses and being ever so shy I am too young to sing about my younger days but I’m young enough to not let these memories fade away And sure, we all move on, we find new friends to sing our songs I might have changed and you might have to we’ve grown apart and there is nothing we can do But if by some chance this song reaches one of you while you’re sitting down perhaps with a baby to coo I want you to know my friends are the best part of me Has it been too long to say “I will see you soon?”

Remonstrate 03:48
Give me something to believe in a little hope to give life meaning promise me great cities in the sky but what if this ain't what it seems what if life is but a dream what if this riddle's just a lie So take me down to holy creek I'll sing all my songs for free just give me all the answers that I need if theres a god let him be known a corporeal vision to call my own help me I'm begging darling please Because I'm losing faith in humanity restore my courage restore my peace help me know the person I should be because I don't know how it got so bad and optimism makes me sad ain't it funny how that seems So how does this go and what do I write why do I sing and why do they fight are there any answers to the above or anything else about life and dreams fuck you money and screw you greed help me I'm down on bended knee Oh give me something to believe in a little love to stop the grieving give answers to what happened at the start bind my hands and shield my eyes take away the tears I cry why did you have to break poor Sarah's heart It's not my purpose to challenge faith I might even run that race I'll stand by and listen to all views but why is wall street green while blood runs red on the streets of paris or Leicester square help us figure out what we should do Give us something to believe in more than tory greed and tell us whats in store for Britain now because they'll privatise the seas around us increase the tax till we're all helpless oh what are we gunna do Because I'm losing faith in humanity and politicians and their policies help us shine a light so we can see why is parliament blue while blood runs red in five years time we'll do it all again still rioting against austerity so lets put back the social in society restore faith in community

All I Have 03:35
It’s my first time home since the winter all the snow ha melted away all the bands in the bars sing the same songs but they don’t sing them the same way no they don’t sing them the same way All I have are the friends that make me the sea that shaped and saved me now I’m older and a little wiser I don’t despise her Although I love the city the coast is still my home whilst it pulses through my veins I still feel quite estranged this island is the only place I don’t feel quite alone All I have are the bones that make me and all I've done, you see it shaped me I may not move mountains but I’ll roam these seas these waves make my hometown, leave me at peace
