Mama mama help me
This boy’s running rings around me
Sister sister tell me
Why he floors me so effortlessly
When we’re all alone he’ll say ‘I love you I swear’
(baby tell me why oh tell me)
But when his friends are round he acts like I am not there
So if you want my love
You know it’s not enough
To hold me through the night
Then keep me out of sight
And if you ask me why I’ll tell you it’s the….
Principle
You tried to hide me love me blindly
Principle oh yeah
It’s the principle
You want the action, chain reaction
Principle, oh yeah
Mama mama help me
This boys got me where he wants me
Sister sister tell me
How to break the chains and set myself free
Tell me why should I waste all my love on you
(baby tell me why oh tell me)
When you wont commit I end up feeling used
So when you’re all alone
And you pick up the phone
Just erase my name
Cos I cant play these games
And if you ask me why I’ll tell you it’s the….
He keeps me on the DL
I don’t think that’s right no more
An undercover girl well
I don’t think that’s right no more
He wanna keep me secret
I don’t think that’s right no more
Its time to burn some bridges
I don’t think its right
So if you want my love
No it’s not enough
To hold me through the night
Then keep me out of sight
And if you ask me why I’ll tell you it’s the….
Principle
You tried to hide me love me blindly
Principle oh yeah
It’s the principle
You want the action, chain reaction

I’m your girl and
You’re right by my side taking over the world
Skies light up when your eyes are shut
You got it
Turn the page and
It was all a dream nothing as it seems
Such a predictable ending
You know it
Listening to late night radio
Clock passed midnight long ago
Hoping these airwaves will set me free
And forget you forget you forget you
I’m your girl and
You’re right by my side taking over the world
Skies light up when your eyes are shut
You got it
Turn the page and
It was all a dream nothing as it seems
Such a predictable ending
You know it
Listening to late night radio
Clock passed midnight long ago
Hoping these airwaves will set me free
And forget you forget you forget you
Tripping over my words again
Tell me how you do this to me
Forgetting my lines again
Boy you gotta hand them to me
Something bout this frequency
Cuts so deep into me
I know that I can’t fight it
But I know that I can’t hide it
CHORUS
Baby
Lost between the lines words escape me
You sure know how to break me
I wish I didn’t know how this song ends

Lose My Cool
03:28
|

Hey girl
Whats up tonight?
No you’d never say that to me
Cos you know I wouldn’t reply
And youre not one of those guys
Which is why I like you so much
Every message you send it makes me smile
I read them again so many times
Cant pretend Im not falling for your lines
I just wanna be with you
You make me lose my cool
And that’s a hard thing to do
Cos you know I cant resist
When you’re doing what you do
Who cares if there’s more than this?
I don’t want no one but you
You make me lose my cool
So I send a message to show I think of you
But if you don’t answer I start to lose my cool
How can I relax when im so into you
Yeah im sorry but its true
Cant help checking and stressing every line
Friends all ask why im so preoccupied
My heart sinks every moment that goes by
Are you just not into me too
Midsummer night
Get In my ride
Stereo high
If I could just have you beside me

All Comes Back 2 U

Oh me oh my
You’re my one and only
When I’m feeling lonely
You’re the one to hold me
Who can inspire
Such devotion
Got my heart in motion
Drop me in the ocean
Oh I can’t get enough of your cold alchemy
Oh you don’t know the worst of it I’m in too deep
I try to forget but it’s hard to do
When everywhere I look leads back to you
It all comes back to you
Yeah it all comes back to you
It all comes back to you
Yeah it all comes back to you
Oh me oh my
Don’t leave me hanging
Wanna show you magic
Lets make this classic
Who can deny
You’re my one and only
When I’m feeling lonely
You’re the one to hold me
Oh brave illusions force conclusions out of me
Oh sweet pretences leave me senseless endlessly
I try to forget but it’s so hard to do
Everywhere I look leads back to you
It all comes back to you
Yeah it all comes back to you
It all comes back to you
Yeah it all comes back to you
And it feels like heaven
But soon I’m bored again
I’ll be thankless til the end
It all comes back to you
It all comes back to
All comes back to you
It all comes back to

Dissolve
05:04
|
|||
|
Deep into the core
Beneath the ocean floor
You shook my earth a way I’d never known before
Boy are you for real
Is this how you feel
Dropped my heart a hundred stories down when you revealed
Who you really are
Hidden in your heart
Future shock im crazy torn clean apart
After all the these years
Saturated tears
Burn into my cheeks and leave me scarred
Down down down
Now you’re slipping away from me
Down down down
And I’m loosing my hold
Down down down
Til you’re only a silhouette
Down Down Down
Then I watch you dissolve
Standard procedure
There’s no need to fear
I will count down slowly, you’ll no longer hear
Slip into the void
Circling my soul
Wondering how you ever gained full control
Keep me in this state
I will elevate
Right above the storm, never have to wake
Like a heavy hand
Playing down a scale
Everything dissolves as I exhale
Boy
BOY
Don’t let me slip away from you

Till you make make your move

Make your move my friend

Boy, but it just aint good enough
Ive had a taste of your sweet love

|
Look in my eyes
There’s a fire in the blue
And the fires burning for you
Travelling light
Cos I can’t bear the burden of you
And there’s nothing I can do no no
Too heavy to carry you with me
Everywhere in my heart oh
It’s a muscle that must keep beating
But you’re making it. Stop. Start.
Prison life is never easy
How I long to be free
What the hell I cant believe this happened to me
Superfine
Don’t mess this up
Every time
I see you running running running
Super fine
You got my love
Throwing petals in the fire just to feed the flames
Opening line
Can we please just keep it light
Anything else would be impolite
Baby im trying
But when I look into your eyes
I fall deeper every time
Too heavy to carry you with me
Everywhere in my heart
It’s a fire that must keep burning
But you’re making it. Stop. Start.
So I drag you round behind me
Like a dead pet on a lead
What the hell I can’t believe this happened to me
Superfine
Don’t mess this up
Every time
I see you Why are you running running running
Super fine
You got my love
I’m just lying in the sun, you know where I am
Superfine
Cmon cmon closer come a little closer yeah
One step forward
Two steps back
You like to dance don’t you
One breathe closer
Two eyes closed and
I’ll fall into you
One step forward
Two steps back
It’s always how we move
One breathe closer
Two eyes closed and
I’ll fall into you

Trouble
03:19
|
|||
|
Why do birds always appear
Every time my baby’s near
Don’t trust them, because natures way
Is to give you something then take it take it away
And my heart and my heart explodes
Every time every time that you are close
Then I fall and hit the ground
And it all comes crashing down
Please don’t let me
Drown in this dream
Show me this is real
You are trouble
And trouble follows me
Shadowing my moves
Hiding in my dreams
You are trouble
Better I should know
Climbing in the highs
Falling in the lows
Down! One way
Why do I fall out of the sky
Every time my boys coming by
Pick me up and dust me down
Cos I fall so far when you are around
You are trouble
And trouble follows me
Shadowing my moves
Hiding in my dreams
You are trouble
Better I should know
Climbing in the highs
Falling in the lows
Don’t know we’re going down

Feeling Is Believing
03:53
|

|
Come step inside
Everyone’s invited, keeping it enlightened
From your tribe to mine
Heart is on the line im hanging out to dry it
Everything we do is perfectly in time
You can bring the rhythm and ill bring the rhyme
It tastes better when the flavours all combine
Everybody make the planet rock tonight
Fire up!
Feeling is believing
Only dance to your tune
Fire up!
Feeling is believing
And I believe it you
Walk through your mind
Looking through the mirror
World is turning with ya
You’ll see the signs
We all get second chances
Annything can happen
Bring your tribe together and I’ll bring mine
When the stars are all aligned
Seven billion natives dancing in time
Do I come from Notts, no I come from the eternal
But I understand people like to keep it tribal
So ill steal from within and give to the external
Then I’ll stay up late and write it in my journal
Gotta make the good times last, so show me
Sing it to me slowly
Me and Hero met on a cloud, lightening emoji
Now we’re droppin disco like we’re Cerrone
Bring your tribe together and Ill bring mine
When the stars are all aligned
Seven billion natives dancing in time
Break it down break it down break it down break it down now
Lock to the rhythm lets pull it up
Let the record drop
Rock to the rhythm lets pull it up
Then lets tear it up

Distraction
03:52
|
|||
|
Can’t move in a straight line
With an arrow in my side
Just hoping for one time
I could free you from my mind
Oh never let you go
No I’ll never stop loving you
When you leave me
The colours fall away
And im left saying
Hell no never again
Im breaking
And something’s gotta give
Cos I cant live
So deep in this
Distraction yeah you drive me to
Distraction and you know it
Distraction yeah you drive me to
Distraction and you know it
In the perfect prison
I threw away the key
So alone, one vision
Would you say a prayer for me
When you leave me
The colours fall away
And im left saying
Hell no never again
Im breaking
And something’s gotta give
Cos I cant live
So deep in this
Distraction yeah you drive me to
Distraction and you know it
Distraction yeah you drive me to
Distraction and you know it
A love that just won’t quit
Yeah you drive me to distraction
I feel like giving in
And you drive me to distraction

Don’t you know we can’t live without your love
So we know we know this feeling ain’t right
It’s a cold cold night
Waiting for the day to give its light
(and the sun to rise)
Feel our heart connected by the fire
(let it burn inside)
Trying to see in the dark
Trying to see in the dark
So we know this madness aint right
It’s a cold cold night
Universe above and fire below
Finding out just how low we can go
Don’t you know we cant live without your love
Trying to see in the dark
Trying to see in the dark
Burn this blindness up
Daylight wont you come
Everybody shines
Shines under the sun
Love is the law

Better Than Ever
03:42
|
|||
|
We fell down a kaleidoscope
It took us where we wanna go
The colours from you seem to radiate
The world would never seem the same again
Time flies by
Oh baby but you know you’re still the one
Love wont die no way
You and I
forever til we fall into the sun
And burn up in its rays
All the hard times we’ve been through
Still my eyes are only for you
Hold me now you’re my heaven
And its better than ever
Now the sunlight it shines through
And I wanna show my love for you
Hold me now you’re my heaven
And it’s better than ever
Oh its true
Its all better with you
Forever doesn’t seem that long
When you’ve found the place that you belong
I’ll give you everything Ive got
Lets do it right and then lets mess it up
Got my head up in the clouds
No im never coming down
Ill fall for you all over again
Sometimes I wanna scream
You’re my everything
Ill fall for you all over again oh

You have an alibi
You have an alibi
You have an alibi
To say you weren’t in my dreams
You have an alibi
You have an alibi
You have an alibi
You were thinking of finer things
Where
Were you there?
I don’t care!
Were you there?
I wanna burn with you in the 4am sun
Picture perfect in the right light and then some
World is turning
While you’re the greatest thing that I never had
Leave me hanging
While you’re the greatest thing that I never had
And I can’t turn back time
And I cant turn back time
No I cant turn back time
To say you weren’t in my dreams
You set my world on fire
You set my world on fire
You set my world on fire
You were thinking of finer things
Oh don’t you leave me this way

Marathon
03:35
|
|||
|
I have to see ya
Is that okay
I caught you looking
Then look away
I have to find ya
Don’t care how far
Just one look from you breaks my heart
Run a little faster
Read the signs
Run a little faster to your heart tonight
Run a little harder
To morning light
Run a little faster to your heart tonight
You make me feel like I could run a marathon
You make me feel like Im the only one
You make me feel like I could do anything
And you are the only one
Its not so crazy
What I feel for you
Like an atom you just split my heart in two
Feeling distracted
Cant ease my mind
Dreaming the feeling of your hand in mine
