Sorry Doesn't Cut It
02:41

You keep on knockin'
But you cannot get in
I've got it all locked down
You beg forgiveness
But I turn up the music
Gonna drown you out
Sorry doesn't cut it
No, no. Sorry doesn't cut it
I've heard it all before
(x2)
Every apology's a
Sorry; not sorry
Every apology's a
Sorry; not sorry
Every apology's a
Sorry; not sorry
I see right through you

We always take for granted
All the things we've always known
People open-hearted
And the kindnesses they show
But never tomorrow
And never today
And as our hearts grow colder
Counterpoint the warming world
Turn against our neighbours
Let the fascist right return
And this is tomorrow
And this is today
(Instrumental)
Hear the voice of oppresion
Ignore every word it says
Stand for a better tomorrow
Refuse to play their game
Say never to tomorrow
And never today
No, never tomorrow
No, not in my name

Tipping Point
03:17

Got no time for Mrs May
Rees-Mogg and the Brexit way
Selling everything that's not nailed down
Let's run these bastard Tories out of town
Got no time for the CBI
Or regulators who have no spine
Everything wrong is all alt-right
Time to cast 'em into an endless night
Chorus/
Time to take a different road
We've put the climate in overload
We haven't yet reached a flashpoint
But we're about to cross a tipping point
Got no time for old-school reds
Hidebound to industries that are dead
The other side of capital's coin
Master and slave forever conjoined
Got no time for Libdem snakes
Happy to compromise 'til they break
And UKIP are so far beyond the pale
Already sent the country off the rails

Highway to Sanctuary

(Spoken)
"Robots and AI?
Not in this town
Human lives are cheap
Monitoring and fear make a man as programmable as a machine
Only without the capital investment
But there are those
Who find a way out ..."
They took the power out
To take the cameras down
It's time to leave
Exit 39
Running out of time
We travel light
Police cracking down
It's now a prison town
No life at all
Under corporate law
We're in an iron claw
Squeezing tight
Chorus/
Following those who disappear
Taking the highway to Sanctuary
Got to get off the road
Before first light shows
And drones fill the sky
There is a sanctuary
Beyond Highway 3
Or so we're told

Soft Side

Show me your soft side
The one I've been craving
Show me your soft side
Show me your best side
Loving and tender
Show me your best side
Naked in the firelight
Defences down
If just for one night
Skin lit by the moonlight
Hearts open
If just for this night
Two souls flow together
Flying high
On charged emotion
Sharing sacred union
We are
Two lost in devotion
(Instrumental)

Give me love, or more disdain
The torrid or the frozen zone
Bring equal ease unto my pain
The temperate affords me none
Either extreme of love or hate
Is sweeter than a calm estate
Give me a storm, if it be love
Like Danae in that golden shower
I swim in pleasure, if it prove
Disdain that torrent will devour
My vulture hopes, and he's possessed
Of heaven that's but from hell released
Then crown my joys, or cure my pain
Give me more love, or more disdain

I Never Did Deserve You

She's out of my class
And she's out of my league
She's far too smart
And she's far too chic
But that doesn't stop me being me
And that's not a great thing to be
It never takes that long
Until I've done something wrong
Pre-Chorus/
And then she gets that look
Coming over her
Totally disdainful
And I know the wrath is coming down
Like an avenging angel
(And then she says)
Chorus/
Don't you beg me to stay
I'll be walking away
Think about it
Bored of these games that you play
You're going to pay
Don't you doubt it
She's all that I want
And she's all that I need
But I can't escape
This web of deceipt
And I can't keep the past in the past
And all the dark shadows it casts
I don't want to be that guy
But she sees him in my eyes

Cold as Ice

You know what is wrong
And you know what is right
You know when to run
And when to stand and fight
You know when to speak up
And when silence is key
When it comes to self-control
You're the epitome
Chorus/
Cold
You're cold as ice
You're cold
You're cold as ice
You get it right first time
No-one gets to try again
You never compromise
You just bring things to an end
You have no time to waste
You move with professional zeal
I don't think you even sense
Those you crush beneath your heel

If You Think it's Over
03:19

Do you remember those golden days
The early days when love was new
No thoughts that there could be any way
There wouldn't be a me and you
Chorus/
You say we've missed
Our last chance
So if you think it's over
Just go
It's strange the way that love can fade
A subtle blade cuts love away
Where there was light there is now only shade
The ties that bind just snap and fray
C/
(Instrumental)
C/
So if you think it's over
(over and over and over and over)
So if you think it's over
(over and over and over and over)
So if you think it's over
Just go

There you go
You're just over-thinking
Now you've started sinking
Into a darker place
Oh no
You've started losing focus
Believing hocus-pocus
Some nonsense you've embraced
Chorus/
Life - Take it how you find it
You know you can't rewind it
Take it as it comes
Same old scene
The words, they still elude you
Writing to a schdule
Causes them to fail
Relax
Keep it nice and easy
That's not being lazy
Breath deep, then exhale
