Intro 01:18
I will never tell you what to do I will never force my opinions onto you I will sing my song And we’ll all carry on I’m only doing this to make you smile I know I can’t make everybody happy So I’ll always try to be true to myself I will sing my song And we’ll all carry on I’m only doing this to make me smile Many people have graced this stage before me And many more will follow when I’ve gone So I will sing my song And we’ll all carry on And I would love to hear you sing along
2.
Always You 04:12
How long are you gunna hide Why don’t you get outside I think you’ll like what you find You gotta get out and see All the possibilities If nothing else then just for me Soon the clouds will part And the temperature will rise And finally I will see That look in your eyes So put a smile on your face Everything will be ok Nobody likes this time of year anyway There’s lots of things to do Things to look forward to Lots of things for me and you I never had to choose It was always you Do you remember the time That we just walked for miles Just to see what we could find We can do it again No this never has to end Theres no one I would rather spend My time with I never needed A single thing that you could never give I never wanted Anything anybody different
3.
Its Friday night again It comes round so quick He’s been saving his money All week for this Working down at the garage Five days a week Just so that tonight He can have a drink He heads down to the local bar To meet The friends that he meets there Every week He hands over the money To buy his first drink They raise their glasses And the night begins The drinks roll in He’s been waiting all week He doesn’t care about a thing No he just wants another drink And they start to sing Just like when they were kids And they raise their glasses And the night begins He heads to the night club In the centre of town Tonight is a good night Everyone’s around He catches up with some old friends They start to reminisce About the old times And a long forgotten kiss Its closing time Its the end of the night Seven days he’ll have to wait They start the long walk home Underneath the stars Down the silent road Empty of cars His house is quiet and dark The clock slowly ticks As he begins the countdown Until next week
4.
Its a cold dark night And the Edinburgh streets are alive There’s songs in my head Guitar by my side I walk out the door And head into the night In search of a stage And a spotlight A microphone And anyone who may Wanna hear what I’ve got to say Hear the songs that I’ve played For so long now every day This is what I want This is who I am This is what I want to do I hope you understand I wanna travel to the corners of this land And play these songs anywhere I can I wanna travel across the seven seas And spread the sound of the harmonies I’ve listened to music all my life Every time I’ve smiled every time I’ve cried Its helped me through when times are bad This is my chance to give some back Its not about people knowing my name It was never about fortune and fame Its about doing the things you love The things you know you’ll never get enough This is flowing through my veins Its the only thing that makes me smile when it rains This is my life I just want to live it right
5.
I’ll never phone never text never call you again I’ll never ask you where you’ve been I’ll do anything anything I can for you Just give me a call and I’ll help you through I don’t quite know what to say I’m trapped in my own Romeo and Juliet There’s no way I will ever forget The way I felt when we first met There is nothing I will ever regret But now I know just how they felt In Romeo and Juliet I’ll be waiting by the phone If you change your mind just let me know You never hurt me never put a foot wrong I’m just so glad I ever met you at all I’m not leaving no I’m not going anywhere So if you want me I’ll be here I’m sorry when I’m selfish When I do you wrong I’m just trying to help you along I’m sorry if I don’t say the right thing I never wanna push you into anything I just want to be there when you cry I’ll hold your hand and try to make you smile We could happy all the time If you just let me make you mine

Suit And Tie 04:13
He always wanted to be a success He only ever said yes Back then we didn’t see The man he would later be At sixteen he worked nine to five And I think he knew He was gunna wear a suit and tie till the day he dies Cheating his way and telling countless lies He’d do anything to get what he wants Forever trying to reach the top He’s got his fancy cars drinking in posh bars His salaries much bigger than ours He needs someone to spend it on He looks around and his friends are gone For a while everything was good He’d come out whenever he could And anyone who didn’t approve He’d win them over with a pint or two He seemed to have the balance right But I think he knew You can spend your whole life Trying to make a better life You can spend all day Planning for a new day But everybody knows He had a wife and a couple of kids He didn’t realise what he did He stopped caring about The only thing in his life that counts And now he sits in his house alone He spends all day checking his phone But it never rings No it never rings

Never Fade 04:16
Its been a while now Since I came to see you Its been a while now Since I even spoke of you But our lives Are changing so fast Its hard to find the time To look at the past But don’t you think That I’ve forgotten your face Because some memories Never fade As we move on Move on to something new We’d never be the same If it weren’t for you And I hope I hope that you’re looking down And I hope I hope that you’re proud
8.
I spend my whole life looking forward to the next step I think its important to think about what’s next You have to dream and have something to aim for One thing’s for certain you can always want more I don’t dream a rock n’ roll dream Of sex and drugs and a champagne stream I live a simple life with simple pleasures A quiet pint is my buried treasure I want a house in the country Get away all All the busy people In city walls I want a beautiful wife And a couple of children I can watch them grow Surrounded by freedom I want an old guitar With a new set of strings And the money to buy My wife diamond rings And we can take the dogs out For walks in the sun Just a few more years now And I’ll be done My feet are itching and I’m twitching To get out there and find some meaning I want to see the world and what it has to give So I can choose a nice place to live A place by the sea with sun and sand So I can watch the sunset over this land Soon to rise again for another day I want it all and I will find a way All of this could be mine Anything is possible If you be in the right place at the right time You can have whatever you want Anything is possible If you want it and you work for it
9.
I travelled four hundred miles to find somewhere new Sick of the old except for a few A fresh start a new home So many people I felt so alone Enjoying the company of memories Momentary flash backs of the way it used to be Your false hopes Your false promises Your false idea of what the fuck we are doing here I want someone to talk to Someone to drink with Someone who’s got a fucking brain to think with Its funny how you only remember the best Save it for later discard the rest How far do I have to travel To find someone who’s on the same level You seemed like the one I thought I could stop looking but I see now I was wrong I’m sick of it all but I’m tired of moving Suppose I’ll stay but I’ll keep looking And if there’s anybody out there who knows what I’m saying Who spends their time on their knees praying For someone to talk to Someone to drink with Someone who’s got a fucking brain to think with I’m sick of your False hopes Your false promises Your false idea of what the fuck we are doing here Well I’m not promising anything Let’s talk when we’re sober But I think maybe there’s a chance Your search could be over

Hitchin Town 03:38
I’ve been away for a while now And I’d be lying if I said That I’d had a bad time But I’ve missed so many nights Mediocre nights At the other end of the train line So I’ll meet you round at your place We’ll get the drinks in before we hit the train So tonight I’m coming home Back to the place that I know We may have gone our separate ways But let’s hit the town like we did in the old days I never thought I’d miss this place But I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t wished I was still here There’s a lot to be said About good company Conversation and a cold beer Tomorrow morning will come soon And we’ll stuck in bed till the afternoon But as soon as the headache fades away We’ll get back out there and do it again

Thank You 05:29
When I was a young boy I used to sing About anyone or anything And every time you used to think That I was singing about you You used to worry about what I thought What I thought of you And I’m sorry for the times that we fought I never meant to hurt you You’d give everything to me To see me happy But there’s no need Because you’ve given me everything I’ll ever need To be happy And I can’t tell you what that means To me Any problem I’ve ever had Any decision good or bad You’ve been there to help me through To guide me and keep me true You taught me to pay my way You taught me how to earn my wage You taught me to always have respect You taught me to love and protect You taught me to think for myself You taught me to choose nothing less Than what I want and what I need You taught how to be happy Now I’m a grown boy and I sing About someone and something And this time I want you to know This song is about you I wrote this song to thank you
