Foxchase 03:45
Well i tried to be someone I’m not and look where it got me Now i’m alone and there’s nothing else Nothing but my thoughts And I tried to see your point of view but i can not find a reason to think that You’re someone I should listen to You’re so dry, Your interests don’t interest me Now that i’m on my own I see why you Spend all your time alone I’ll open my mind But you won’t open yours and i find The things that I like are pushed behind Lost in the sands of time We’re the foxchase No time for these games We’re the foxchase Step up, or step away Pick up something new and Try to find something to do with All this time You say you never have What do you want me to say Yeah once you’ve gone, wasted away I’ll be up all night Scratching my tired brain We’re the foxchase No time for these games We’re the foxchase Step up, or step away

Wooden Box 03:40
Leaving my house With the lights turned on Something’s not right What’s going on Did I leave you there In the cold pouring rain? Is it my head again? Does it matter at all If i let the phone ring? Will it amount to anything? In the wooden box Where I keep my things Did i leave the lid unlocked Or is it just my brain? Did I leave you there In the cold pouring rain? Is it my head again? Does it matter at all If i let the phone ring? Will it amount to anything?

Sittin’ round the television set We’re 3 feet apart at best Watchin’ the world go round We’re just tryna stay out of town Don’t be scared Cause everything’s up in the air I’m just the same as I was Lean on a friend Will you ever see them again We’ll make it through the storm Make another record or two We’re just tryna find something to do We’re all thinkin what they want us to think Cause our hands are tied to the kitchen sink One more time around the block We’re all runnin out the clock Don’t be scared Cause everything’s up in the air I’m just the same as I was Lean on a friend Will you ever see them again Did you make it through the storm?

Machine Man 03:29
Breaking your trust Making my amends Start this all over cause Next week i’ll do it again Breaking her heart Mine is made of chrome I don’t even mind cause I like to be alone Playin my guitar cause I lost all of my friends I don’t even mind If i see them ever again I wouldn’t get too close Further I would stand Something you should know I’m a machine man Machine Man (3x) And I don't have any feelings Cause I'm made of steel In and out of time Always running late Often left behind Cause the seasons never wait I really find it hard To pay off all my debts I don’t really try though I’d rather be in bed Walkin down the block People turn away They’d rather stay inside Than hear what I have to say I wouldn’t get too close Further I would stand Something you should know I’m a machine man Machine Man (3x) And I don't have any feelings Cause I'm made of steel

I bet you probably think you know me, But you don't know the thoughts in my brain, Betcha probably think you know what genre this is and whats The key And you're probably wondering where is the hook where is the catchiest part? ...of the song... Where's the chorus? Well, I'll give you one right HERE! I bet you're probably turning off this song You won't take a chance to see The Beauty

The days are getting darker now You’ll get home tonight just not sure how Wind in your hair makes it all worth while Til the lights flash on and they stand with a smile The waves all crash above your hair You’re gasping for breath but there’s no air You’re trapped alone from the neck down Moving lips won’t make a sound You’re being pulled right through the sky By faces of green and abnormal eyes You’re traveling on moving through the sound Their hovering feet never touch the ground

Cobbler 05:22
And what I feel is getting hard To describe The thoughts find me in my head and I I can’t hide Nothing’s holding me back from taking Your side But I can’t apologize If i’m right There’s someone else inside But it’s not me It’s taking all my pride Just let me be You’re asking these questions that I I can’t ignore Why don’t you walk away And shut the door Don’t expect me to answer Your call Don’t use some excuse cause I know them all There’s someone else inside But it’s not me It’s taking all my pride Just let me be You’re asking these questions that I I can’t ignore Why don’t you walk away And shut the door Leave me to myself when im Feeling this low We’re all breathing in these Clouds of smoke The melody finds me when I’m All alone I’m writing a song that No one else knows

Goldie gets out of bed and combs her hair, she isn’t easily scared, she always takes the utmost care Goldie looks in the mirror, starts her day, a cottage just a mile away, a place where she used to play She starts with another coffee, tea and gin, she says why go out when you can always stay in She sits at the table thinking of her life, she wonders why she isn't someone’s wife, yes what does she have in life? (she gets to her senses) Goldie sits in the parlour thinking of her hope, she knows that she’ll never grow old, she knows she’ll hav much more So she locks the door... So she locks the door... Sit down at the table, have a meal with me, would you like a slice of ham, would u like a cup of tea, sit down at the table, have a sip of wine, help me push away the bad thoughts help me see the light Goldie wake up! She never gave up! Your time has come! Goldie well done!
