Chemistry
03:51

We both love Big Bang Theory,
No quantum physics just new series.
And I love you like constellations of the stars,
You're my Jupiter and I'll be your Mars.
I only know a thing or two,
Writing songs like this for you.
And I ain't a scientist or a mathematical geek,
But one thing that I know is pretty neat.
This love is like a calculation,
A funny little combination,
Of feelings and smiles,
Memories and miles.
This love is like a new equation,
Full of chemicals and complications.
It's intricacy,
It's you and it's me,
It's Chemistry.
Our love's a chemical explosion.
It's radio-active and it's glowing.
And I've loved you from the very first day,
So let's sing my theory and we'll blow them all away.
This love is like a calculation,
A funny little combination,
Of feelings and smiles,
Memories and miles.
This love is like a new equation,
Full of chemicals and complications.
It's intricacy,
It's you and it's me,
It's Chemistry.
I still don't know my times tables,
But I know a thing or two.
I don't know much about this world,
But I just need one of you.
I even wonder what our...
Multiplication could be?
The apple's fallen from the tree,
Newton we've found gravity.
And here's the real reality.
This love is like a calculation,
A funny little combination,
Of feelings and smiles,
Memories and miles.
This love is like a new equation,
Full of chemicals and complications.
It's intricacy,
It's you and it's me,
It's meant to be.

Sweet Talk
03:37

No I don’t mean, to sugar coat things,
Your so sweet, you make my heart sing!
But It’s no longer a fling.
And I don’t know what’s inside your mind.
I know you’re scared, you’re acting cruel to be kind.
But you oughta think twice.
'Cause for me it’s past the exterior.
As I fall for you, you’re getting wearier.
But you brought me here with that sweet talking,
And once I say it back, he soon starts walkin'...
He’s a kid in the candy shop,
Likes what he sees so doesn’t stop.
Then drops me like potato hot,
Then throws his words back in the pot.
So kids don’t play with your food,
Just cause you ain’t in the mood!
Cause a broken heart is hard to mend,
When greedy boys got no love to lend.
I know you’d like a slice of the cake,
It’s so brand new and freshly baked.
Seems so easy to take.
Now I see you playing with your plate,
Putting my heart at stake,
No more wine on this date...
Cause for you it’s all about the exterior.
No love, just buzz, mr mysterious.
We're here again, and you’re sweet talking,
Swizzel sticky eyes, I wanna poke my fork in!
oh monkey see, monkey do.
don’t kiss me, I’ll catch the flu.
Bananarama panoranama...
dizzy with indulgent drama.
Monkey see and monkey do,
Pack your bags cause we are through.

A&E
03:21

I’m not heart broken
But I think my heart is broken
And when you say that shit to me,
Oh my little capillaries…
Won’t connect to something,
That really should be feeling something.
And now I’m sat in A & E,
But there’s nothing there to see,
‘Cause simply, my heart is empty.
I’ll spend hours and hours,
Collecting you flowers,
And plaiting them into your hair.
But of course your a boy,
Who’s now looking quite coy,
But this girl,
Had so much love to share.
And those hours and hours,
Spoilt with her showers,
He never showed he cared.
So she stopped on giving,
Moved on, she start living.
And the table it finally turned.
I’m not heart broken
But I think my heart is broken
And when you say that shit to me,
Oh my little capillaries…
Won’t connect to something,
That really should be feeling something.
And now I’m sat in A & E,
But there’s nothing there to see,
‘Cause simply, my heart is empty.
Cause her love it ran out,
After all of her doubt,
And she didn’t want to hurt.
So she cut all the ties,
Dismissed all his lies,
And her heart slipped out of her shirt,
I’m not heart broken
But I think my heart is broken
And when you say that shit to me,
Oh my little capillaries…
Won’t connect to something,
That really should be feeling something.
And now I’m sat in A & E,
But there’s nothing there to see,
‘Cause simply, my heart is empty.
Oh but I’ll learn to love again.
Even though I’m scared of the fall.
Oh but I want to love again,
It’s the most beautiful feeling.. I recall…
I’m not heart broken
But I think my heart is broken
And when you say that shit to me,
Oh my little capillaries…
Won’t connect to something,
That really should be feeling something.
And now I’m sat in A & E,
But there’s nothing there to see,
‘Cause simply, my heart is empty.

Dizzy

|
He smiled at me with his eyes
baby blue and like the brightest skies,
twirling planes and fair ground rides
candy floss and french fries
But you wouldn’t know how you make me feel.
And under these twinkling these, well, it’s all so surreal.
please don’t say a word, cause I’ll say to much.
I’m dizzy with love
candy canes, sherbet sticks
cornwall rock and space ships
orbit round like satellites,
hold me close all through the night
takes me back, to my teens.
when love was a new reality.
so I’m here again, heart on my sleeve
While he wraps his coat around me.
But you wouldn’t know how you make me feel.
And under these twinkling these, well, it’s all so surreal.
please don’t say a word, cause I’ll say to much.
I’m dizzy with love
and as whirling rides blur and hush,
My head is racing, i feel the rush
roller coaster running through my mind
I’m lost for words and start to blush
My oh my. No better view.
Than the fairground lights surrounding you.
Starry night, it’s a dream come true.
our special seaside rendevouz
But you wouldn’t know how you make me feel.
And under these twinkling these, well, it’s all so surreal.
But I won’t say a word, it’s much too soon.
I’m dizzy with love

Love
03:12

When you turn the tables,
Here we are.
Polar opposites,
That’s just how far.
See you and me, we have this thing.
See you and me, have so much to bring,
To that turning table,
That never seems to stop.
I love country folk and you love rock
and when we roll,
good times aint to far,
but now your gone,
good times are always quite far,
You once loved me,
Like I love you,
Now I love you,
You don’t love me.
You once loved me,
Like I love you,
Now I love you,
You don’t love me.
When you take away,
What you thought you’d always have
You appreciate,
Something you thought was bad
But how it was, bad in the greatest way
Unconventional, a way you’d want to stay
You once loved me,
Like I love you,
Now I love you,
You don’t love me.
You once loved me,
Like I love you,
Now I love you,
You don’t love me.
Polar opposites or just the same?
So similar, we played the same game.
Stubborn, stupid and scared of defeat,
but we both lost, and what we had is at our feet.
You once loved me,
Like I love you,
You don’t love me.
But I sure still do.
I always loved you,
I still do,
though you dont want me,
I still want you.

Carousel

We meet again
My old good friend
we smile and laugh
but we both pretend
you say let’s dance
for old times sake
sweet romance
make no mistakes
We may be on the same ride,
but we’re stuck on the wrong side.
I’ve been in love with you,
Far too many times
I’ve been in love with you,
far too many times…
And you’re still not mine.
I’m compelled by you,
Though I wish it weren’t true.
I see magic in your eyes
and feel fireworks inside
We may be stuck on the wrong side,
But we’re both on the same ride.
I’ve been in love with you,
Far too many times
I’ve been in love with you,
far too many times…
And you’re still not mine.
and this wind-up train got no where to go
it’s ready to move but it’s stuck in snow
but the cogs they’ll still move, while we’ll wait till summer
waiting for change, while we dance with another.)
I’ve been in love with you,
Far too many times.
And you’re in love with me,
I see it in your eyes
But you’re still not mine.

Boots

Another souvenir for your shelf,
You’re trusty garden gnome slash elf,
Dusty, unappealing, corners frayed,
Though you moved on, I always stayed.
Ever been alone in love?
Even though it was once right
Don’t say you love me,
Then change your mind over night.
Let me step into your boots,
So I can see why you walked over me.
& why you dropped me fast,
when you promised this could last.
Let me walk ‘round in your skin,
So I can see where I begin.
Maybe you could spell it out for me,
Or give me a little empathy.
The seasons come and go in their mind,
A moment passes by and then your behind.
Ever wondered to yourself
where did I go wrong?
Maybe your the one who’s lost,
But I can’t help but write a song
Like seasons come and go,
Maybe it’s time to move on.
See I’m no souvenir
and from that shelf I’m gone.
Let me step into your boots,
So I can see why you walked over me.
& why you dropped me fast,
when you promised this could last.
Let me walk ‘round in your skin,
So I can see where I begin.
Don’t have to spell it out for me,
At least I have some empathy.

Technical Glitch
03:57
|

|
I don’t know what I want.
But I’m hanging on by a thread.
Tied tightly and tangled,
Sometimes I feel strangled,
But I guess it was all in my head.
Maybe it’s me, maybe it’s you.
Should I stay and let it pull through?
Cause I’m chasing the needle, I’m catching the stitch,
Now it’s too late, I’m a technical glitch.
And it was all inside my head.
All those stupid things I said.
I take it back, take me back to those
Days where we had,
Perfect harmony,
some fire and personality.
Now you’re gone, I feel it’s wrong,
Singing songs about the past.
Now I’m your distant memory…
You forget me too easily.
I’ve misplaced my heart,
Now my seams just fall apart.
‘Cause I’m fragile and strange, I’m puzzled and deranged.
And if I can’t love myself,
Where do I start?
‘Cause it was all inside my head,
I tried to find me in yours instead.
I take it back, take me back to those
Days where we had,
Perfect harmony,
some fire and personality.
Now you’re gone, I feel it’s wrong,
Singing songs about the past.
Now I’m your distant memory…
You forget me too easily.

Childhood Street
03:57

|
Well I didn’t know
That this could hurt so much.
When everything,
Seems out of touch.
When you’re missing home,
It’s a lonely place.
But at least my heart,
Is in the right place.
I’m breaking ties,
From the old lullabies,
That sent me soft to sleep.
I’m leaving town,
But will wear your crown,
and your memories I will keep.
Cause grounded underneath my feet,
Is my childhood street.
Just give me time,
To re-adjust.
Find my own path,
But stay in touch.
Cause it’s quite hard,
When you’re all alone.
But when I’m sad,
I just think of home.
I’m breaking ties,
From the old lullabies,
That sent me soft to sleep.
I’m leaving town,
But will wear your crown,
and your memories I will keep.
Cause grounded underneath my feet,
Is my childhood street.
Oh no, it mustn’t make me sad.
When there’s a million more memories to be had.
All your lessons I will take away,
And I’ll be back on another day.
I’m breaking ties,
From the old lullabies,
That sent me soft to sleep.
I’m leaving town,
But will wear your crown,
and your memories I will keep.
Cause grounded underneath my feet...
Is my childhood street.

History
03:59

|
I have loved you for many years,
But the last is not the same.
And I have fought back so many tears,
But now my thoughts are as clear as rain.
Tell me do you recognise me,
Or do my eyes shine a dimmer light?
Tell me do you realise that we,
Have already lost the fight?
C'mon heart,
I want to be in love.
Dream of those stars,
That once connected us above.
Somehow they've shifted,
And shattered in the sky.
No longer destiny, or meant to be,
Just a broken beautiful history.
You were the centre of my universe.
On my mind, each and every day.
And now I'm holding on by my fingertips,
But we're not moving in the same way.
You always say that I'm too good for you,
But how you are so wrong.
Truth is you're the best that God could give,
You've not been appreciated for so long.
C'mon heart,
Fall back in love.
This broken girl,
Can no longer see her luck.
Her heart has shifted,
And she can't reason why,
It's no longer destiny,
Or what she thought this would be.
C'mon heart,
I want to be in love.
Dream of our stars,
That connected us above.
Right now they're changing,
Rearranging in the sky.
No longer destiny, or meant to be,
Or you and me...
Just a broken
beautiful
history.
