A gathering of people
Some familiar and some new.
Together for a good time
Forget about the blue.
The sound of music playing
Carried down the street.
The neighbours didn't care though
Some even tapped their feet.
We spilled out into the garden
And looked up at the sky.
People stayed until the morning
They didn't want to leave.

You've got a girlfriend, you're a lucky man.
Today she just gets you down
You don't want her to come around.
You've got a new home, a quiet part of town.
Today it just gets you down
You don't want to have to go, back around.
Today has just got you down, down, down.
Today has just got you down, down, down.
You drive a new car, work a well paid job.
Today it just gets you down
You don't want to earn another pound.
You signed a deal singing with your band.
Today they just get you down
You don't want to make another sound.
Today has just got you down, down, down.
Today has just got you down, down, down.
Disappointed looking in the mirror.
Full of dread driving in to work.
Regret and sadness, thinking of the past.
But today it doesn't get me down.
Today it doesn't get me down.

Racing away

How could you leave me alone?
Where are you now where have you gone?
I wish that you would take me
Somewhere far away from here.
We can do anything
When I'm racing away with you.
I don't feel blue and I can't see black.
I struggle to hold on when there's nothing to grasp.
I wish that you'd come take me
To a place I've never been before.
We can do anything
When I'm racing away with you.
When I'm racing away with you.
When I'm with you.

Christmas card from Vietnam.
Best wishes from another land.
Simple message, simple design.
Remained in touch, over time.
A change of scenery.
Untouched landscape, greenery.
Fresh air to breathe.
Routine that I need to leave.

Long road

I drive along a long, long road
Through a tunnel of tall, tall trees.
Passing tiny towns with strange names
And there's nobody close to me.
Waste my time with a second guess
Communication would prove a better bet.
Some people can't help
Can't help but share what they know.
Music from the radio is to my taste
And there's a film on tonight I've been waiting to see.
Drink in the fridge, an egg on a roll
And I can't help
Can't help but feel good for now.
I drive along a long, long road
Through a tunnel of tall, tall trees.
Passing tiny towns with strange names
And there's nobody close to me.

Moving

I've not seen some old friends
For so long now.
Don't know how they're doing
Or if I should go around.
So I don't.
I won't even pick up the phone.
Good times that we had
Plenty beer plenty laughs.
Walking home drunk in the fog
Late at night long ago.
It seems such a long time ago.
It's hard to know where you belong.
People will change and they're gone.
Deciding what's right and what's wrong.
Sometimes you've got to move on.
It's easy to look back and glorify the past.
To see things your own way and leave out the bad.
But I won't.
I can't forget that easily.
It's hard to know where you belong.
People will change and they're gone.
Deciding what's right and what's wrong.
Sometimes you've got to move on.
