Track Name: Going for Gold
All I once knew is now forgotten,
And I'm too tired to start from the bottom again,
So don't you waste your breathe with suggestions,
Because I'm too old

But I'll keep going, going for golden things,
And they don't come easily

All that you see looks like a photo,
Disconnected from the people who you don't know,
So don't you try your tears on this stranger,
Because you're too cold

And you keep going, going for golden things,
And they don't come easily
Track Name: Dupe
Here's to living in a foreign land,
I've been trying to figure out where I stand since I touched down long ago

Everybody here talks about you and I sincerely hope that it isn't true - but I don't know

Tell me a lie and I would believe you,
Give me a secret, I won't let it go / tell a soul

I didn't know you be standing there,
And though my dear mother taught me not to stare I just can't help myself

Everybody here talks about you and I sincerely hope that it isn't true - but I don't know

Tell me a lie and I would believe you,
Give me a secret, I won't let it go / tell a soul
You know I won't tell a soul

Tell me a lie that I can believe in
Track Name: Backwards
My thoughts are clear but my words appear to let me down,
But I can leave them here and me feet barely will touch the ground,

Hit the ground now,
I'll be killing so much time now,
Something I should know by heart

Wait all year to be brought back here once again,
And it still re-appears, the same old childish fear, now and then,

Make a sound now,
Its been silent for too long now,
Take me backwards to the start

Hit the ground now,
I'll be killing so much time now,
Something I should know by heart

Something I should know by heart (x3)
Track Name: A Winter Song
December's pace is slow,
Fell down again and was buried deep in snow,
And I lay there frozen for years,
That's not the truth, its just a lie that I tell to pass the time

Show me where you've been heading so slowly,
Why are going anywhere anyway?

I'll stay home and retire,
To dry my feet and dream about a fire

Show me where you've been heading so slowly,
Why are you going anywhere anyway?

Do do do do do do do do (x2)
Track Name: Strange Behaviour
Lyrics:
I'm not on my own when I've got my guitar and a microphone
And I can call you up now woah woah woah
And serenade you with a song I wrote

Its not a good idea though
Might be considered strange behaviour I know
And wouldn't do me any favours woah woah woah

And I'd probably have to leave a message on your answer-phone
Promising to leave you alone

Woah woah woah woah woah (x2)

I swear I'm not in too deep,
And I'm not in over my head, so to speak
I just think I should try to get some sleep
And in the morning I'll be back up on my feet

And if I'm not then who's to blame?

Because I keep wasting my precious time and my precious time keeps wasting me away

Woah woah woah woah woah (x3)
Track Name: That Shirt is Rucked up
Now I'm winning every fight,
Sleeping soundly every night,
Learning from my mistakes,
Waiting still to catch a break

Running in circles every day
And chasing shadows every time I'm here

Home today
Tidy up, put the mess away
Learning from my mistakes
They won't be keeping me awake

Running in circles every day
And chasing shadows every time I'm here

Know your place,
And get that look off your face
Learning from my mistakes
I've retired from the race
