Lyrics from ‘SHOCKWAVES‘
Ships on the Shoreline
Someone to tell me that I’m not alone
I need someone to pick up, to answer the phone
Is it all that you wanted or all that you need
With someone beside you, your suddenly free
Cos I’ve always loved you, and I always will
Ships on the shoreline are sailing away
I wish I had more time, more words to say
And who am I kidding, I’m back in a bar..
The ships on the shoreline mix into the stars
I don’t know where I’m going or what I will be
But I care how the light is reflecting on me
Cos I’ve always loved you, and I always will
Ships on the shoreline are sailing away
I wish I had more time, more words to say
But I’ll be right as rain
(oooohhhh)
Ships on the shoreline are sailing away
Oh oh oh oh, sailing away
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Ships on the shoreline are sailing away
I wish I had more time, more words to say
But I’ll be right as rain

| Lyrics from ‘Sugar & Spite’ |
| Birds and the Bees |
| The Hit Parade |
| One By One |
| Better Off |
| Put A Record On |
| Hold it Down |
| This Way |
| Vagabond |
| Too Many People |
| Swans |
| What Do I Know |
| Birds and the Bees |
| I drive on the streets cos I’m so incomplete, and she’s always on my mind. Or is it a ‘she’ that you just want to be with, cos I’m on the line alright. Love hurts my friend, Oh let me tell you about the birds and the bees- the nice and the sleazy, Love hurts my friend, And my mother told me ‘son, you’re just like your dad’, Loving me, loving you |
| The Hit Parade |
| I don’t believe all that you said was yesterday, i’ll let you know, I’ll let you know I feel the weight. I Wish you were mine, wish you were mine, wish you were mine, wish you were mine And all that that goes with… and time brings me home. Just say that you want me. I wish you were mine, wish you were mine and time brings me home, Pushing on through all i wanna do is get over you. Just say that you want me Ohh, pushing on through all i wanna do is get over you. Just say that you want me Ohh, just say that you want me. and I don’t believe all that you said was yesterday I wish you were mine wish you were mine, |
| One By One |
| One by One I suffer you gladly One by One You’re all I don’t need And you couldn’t see, One by One And life on the road, Is this the way to be? One by One |
| Better Off |
| Cool off your jets, no more regrets. I don’t believe in you. Cos I’m better off, I’m better off… alone. And I can’t believe, I’m living for no-one… Is this the way, I’m living for no-one… Ahhhhhhh, |
| Put A Record On |
| I put a record on, put it on and sing along with you, sing along with you. And that’s ok by me, that’s ok cos in a way I’m free in a way I am free, And you don’t have to sympathise, And I’m ok for drinking, grab a beer and disappear with me And you don’t, you don’t have to sympathise, I put a record on, put it on and get it on with you, And this time, you’ll find, Put it on. I put a record on… Put it on. |
| Hold It Down |
| Hold it down boy, don’t lose your head, you’re so inviting, and I’m easily led. Leave a message, cos you’re not there, i’ll be tired and low, tired and low And I wish I could see you, across over seas, …I gotta hold it down, don’t let it show, And I wish I could see you, across over seas, … I gotta hold it down, don’t let it show, And I wish I could see you, across over seas But you’re so far away. |
| This Way |
| Never to go where the wind don’t blow. Always to say you will find your way. Always to be, kicking around with the wind and breeze. So kiss me again in the moonlight lady, And I know, I can’t shake the memory, Never to go where the wind don’t blow. So kiss me again in the moonlight lady, And I know, I can’t shake the memory, |
| Vagabond |
| Gonna live like a junkie, climb on your back. Gonna sail away, and not come back. Do this, do that. I’m not scared, I’m not… Gonna pull any punches, fade to black We don’t do that And I can see just what you’re made of, sugar and spite. Gonna pull any punches, fade to black We don’t do that… for what its worth. And ahhhhh you make it feel better, but I don’t need it. And ahhhhh you make it feel better but I don’t need it anymore Under blue skies, we don’t do that, |
| Too Many People |
| I sit here playing while you sweep the dirt off the floor, it’s not right. No-one is saying that you haven’t heard this before, but I like. And I’m sorry, if I ever did you harm. Too many people, spend all there time alone. I don’t know why you’ve got love in your eyes, Yeah, too many people, spend all there time alone. Same old, same old, same old The days go by… Yeah, too many people, spend all there time alone. |
| Swans |
| By my side, you’ll never be. By my side, you’ll never be. Cos I’m fake at the seams, And you’re never coming home again, By my side, I wanted to tell you I’d changed. But I see you, you see me, You tell me that you love me but you never want to see me again. |
| What Do I know |
| Sit here waiting by the bathroom door, hoping I might see a little more. Sick of love stains on my sheets, sick of lifestyles I don’t wanna keep. Look in my minds eye, What do I know, And I don’t know if I’m wrong or right, Look in my minds eye, What do I know, Winter came today, And who are you to be, And I can’t tell you anything, About a boy. |

Or is it a ‘she’ that you just want to be with,

Love hurts my friend,
love hurts…
In the end, in the end
In the end, in the end
Oh let me tell you about the birds and the bees- the nice and the sleazy,
I don’t even know her name.
Or do you belong in a four-minute love song,
that nobody can explain.
Love hurts my friend,
love hurts…
In the end, in the end
In the end, in the end
And my mother told me ‘son, you’re just like your dad’,
some little piece of LOVE that they had,
That they had
That they had
That they had
That they had
Loving me, loving you
Loving me, loving you
Loving me, loving you
Loving me, loving you</td>

I suffer you gladly
One by One
You’re all I don’t need
And you couldn’t see,

You’re eyes are unkind,
so don’t look at me,
And all that you know,
Is written in stone.
One by One
I suffer you badly,
One by One
You’re all I don’t need
And life on the road,
it makes you feel old,
Remember the time when friends were around,
when friends were around – when we were all friends…
Is this the way to be?
Is this the way to be?
One by One
One by One</td>
