Best Part Of My Day
I saw a golden sunrise, through the clouds just as it began to rain
I was running late 'til a found a seat on an overcrowded train
I know, the best is yet to come
Seeing you is the best part of my day
Seeing you is the best part, best part of my day
Checked my bank account at lunchtime and it said that I've been paid
Saw a young boy tell his mom a joke, she was laughing like a drain
Spilled some coffee down my coat but it didn't leave a stain
I know, the best is yet to come
Seeing you is the best part of my day
Seeing you is the best part of my day
Seeing you is the best part, the best part of my day

Relationship
This relationship is sinking
As we both try to bail
While we sit there thinking
This relationship has sailed
V.1
You don't know where you're going
And I don't care where we've been
And there's no way of knowing
From where this storm has come in
V2.
You say there's no destination
Well how do we know when we're there?
I don't know If you can see this
And you don't know if I care
Chorus
This relationship is sinking
As we both try to bail
While we sit there thinking
This relationship has sailed
V3.
Are we just starry eyed lovers
Adrift on a sea of dreams
Falling in love with each other
Or just falling a part at the seams
No where near the horizon
And so far a way from the shore
We can find our own paradise
Or end up with nothing at all
Chorus
This relationship is sinking
As we both try to bail
While we sit there thinking
This relationship has sailed

Close Enough to Hurt
V1
I realise I am playing with fire but I need something to keep me warm.
I know you said you can't read my desire
Well here it is burning bright in your glow
Chorus
If I put you first
If I comfort you with words
If I hold you now
Will you always be, this close to me
Close enough to hurt
V2.
Can't see the horizon
For the burning sky and the smoke still rising
But I am steady your side
Follow your step in the dead of night

Disease
V1.
Shifty eyes, tightening throat
Take your inventory and sing it back to me
The proof is if Iam really happy joyous and free
V2.
Surrender lies on the killing floor
Have you had enough or do you want some more?
The proof is if Iam really happy joyous and free
Chorus
Just forget it now dont regret it now
All the people that you had to please
Just forget it now dont regret it now
All the years you've been in your disease
V3.
Falling down, get back up
I can't give to you from this empty cup
The truth is I don't really know what's good for me
Chorus x2

Leaving Lost Vagueness
V1.
I have this problem with procrastination
I put off until tomorrow what should be done today
I dont think I am lazy I just lack concentration
I need some motivation to get me through the day
Pre chorus.
So I am leaving lost Vagueness
I'll be gone for ages
I'll be turning over new pages
Yes I really have to go
Chorus.
Can't you see, I struggle with Reality
Need a little fantasy to make it real
Cant you see I struggle with Reality
Think I need a little fantasy to make it real
Real for me
V3.
I have ambitions and want to be successful
Even though it's stressful I know nothing good comes for free
But there's this part of me that sabotages me
Want to quit and take it easy put my feet up and watch movies

Newborn Baby
V1.
I want to watch you grow
Want to watch you show the world
What you can do
And i know it's not been easy for you
But I think you'll pull through
That's what your gonna do, yeah that's what you're gonna do
Chorus
Sometimes this world will try to make you crazy
But I think you'll be alright
If you hold your dreams like a Newborn Baby and never let them out of your sight
V2.
You want to live your dreams
But do you know what it means
To really them go
When no is harder to say than yes
Who are you trying to impress
With your one man show
You and your one man show

Ready for love now
V.1
Start thinking of you I don't stop
My head feels like it's going to pop
They say it's lonely at the top, I say it's lonely without you
It doesn't have to be this way
I know I change from day to day
All I ask is you believe me when I say
Chorus
Well I know it's not been easy
And in the past I've played around
In my heart there's a new reason
I know I am ready for love, Iam ready for love now
V.2
I know I be hot some way to go
Before you trust me that I know
But understand that I never want to let you go
Chorus
Well I know it's not been easy
And in the past I've played around
In my heart there's a new reason
I know I am ready for love, Iam ready for love now
Middle 8
Gone, gone are the fears of yesterday
Now I am only living for today
Chorus
Well I know it's not been easy
And in the past I've played around
In my heart there's a new reason
I know I am ready for love, Iam ready for love now
Well I know it's not been easy
And I've been messing you about
But like the changing of the seasons
I know I am ready for love, Iam ready for love now
Ready for love, ready for love now, ready for love, I am ready for love now

Death Can Be So funny
V1.
Some people think that death is sad
but I have never found it so
It really isnt all that bad
if you just relax and let it go
V2
So wave goodbye to all your cares
To see them go is such relief
As you sleep softly in your grave
It's good to have a firm belief
Chorus
So i say Ha ha has hee he hee
Everybody laugh together
Death Can be so funny
Ha ha has he he hee
Everybody laugh together
Death Can Be So Funny
V3
I saw the tunnel saw the light
Saw my life flash before my eyes
Found my lost keys saw my ex-wife
And although I am, dying it feels alright
Chorus
So i say Ha ha haa he he heee
Everybody laugh together
Death Can be so funny
Ha ha ha hee hee hee
Everybody laugh together
death can be so funny
Bridge
All life's a stage
We have our parts to play
But is it a drama or a tragedy
The fat lady sings
Ian standing in the wings
It's then I see that it's a comedy
Chorus
