LYRICS:

 

​

Wild Mountain Thyme:

​

Oh the summer time has come

And the tree's are sweetly bloomin'

And the wild mountain thyme 

Grows around the bloomin' heather

Will ye go lassie go

​

And we'll all go together

To pull wild mountain thyme

All around the bloomin' heather

Will ye go lassie go

​

I will build my love a bower 

By yon cool crystal fountain 

And around it I will pile 

All the wild flowers of the mountain 

Will ye go lassie go

​

And we'll all go together...

​

But if my true love won't come

Then I'll surely find another

To pull wild mountain thyme 

All around the bloomin' heather

Will ye go lassie go

​

And we'll all go together...

​

 

Quiet Mind:

​

That was bright lipstick you wore

And that was one look more

Than I can take with my ego

With my fragile heart getting blown apart

By someone new, yeah I’m a fool…

When I say I’m fine I’m fine

It’s just the lights are going down...

 

Gotta stop listening to myself

Gotta stop listening to the same old lies

There’s gotta be something more to this life

Gotta be more than this 9 till 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9

Yes I’m fine

Just miss my thoughts of you in my quiet, quiet mind.

 

Trying to not get too attached now

Cause I’ve been off that bridge before

Sitting there, with my confusion

With the lines I’ve crossed turning into knots

That come un-done

I’ve come un-done

Have you ever walked away and just missed some... missed someone?

 

One more time I’m gonna shout this

One more time and then I’m gone

THIS IS MY OWN PERSONAL PROBLEM

For every girl I’ve ever known

In this world, with our feelings

And our box-box ticks and our endless lists of what to do

Yeah I’m a fool…

When I say I’m fine I’m fine

It’s just the lights are going down,

 

Gotta stop listening to myself

Gotta stop listening to the same old lies

There’s gotta be something more to this life

Gotta be more than this 9 till 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9

Yes I’m fine

Just miss my thoughts of you in my quiet, quiet mind.

​

​

Little Obsession:

 

Well I remember what your sister told me Christmas eve

Secret words that your mother said about catching me

And I wish that she never told me cause I can’t get you out of my mind

Long hair and the youngest child it conflicts with conclusions of mine 

But I know yes I know...

 

With the light in your eyes and the smile on your face

And the tears that you cry when your boyfriends away

The way that you laugh it’s the silence you hide

I’m miss-understanding just what you’re like...

 

It’s always all or nothing for me normally nothing at all

Been asked some pretty awkward questions lately like is it a girl or a boy you’re looking for 

And I don’t know what I’m supposed to say or what I’m supposed to do

Guess I’ll wait for another week or so or a year or two for you...

 

With the light in your eyes…

 

Sometimes I dream of dying but it’s never alone

And I wish I could sing you a proper love song or pen you a pretty poem

If I could've done things a little different then I wouldn't have got involved 

I would've turned my back on your sister and never listened to her but I know...

Inside every bone in your body kindness falls

There’s a heart full of patience and forgiveness and so much more

Gotta get over this little obsession cause it’s hopeless and it’s wrong

I never meant to get this encompassed I never meant to fall for you

 

With the light in your eyes…

 

​

The Trigger:

 

When the snow falls on the windows

When you’re back in your home town

When the wind blows on the emperor’s new clothes

Please don’t fall in line

 

Cause sometimes the butterfly flies away

And sometimes the soldier dies in vain

 

Next time that I’m going to pull the trigger

I’ll see your face in front of me

Next time that you’re looking into the river

Remember how good it is to breathe

 

I remember waiting for you

The conversations late at night

Your thoughts and dreams on everything

And the words you said to save my life 

The words you said to save my life

 

When the snow goes If you’re hit by low blows

Will you call on me?

When the wind dies If you’re feeling fragile

Remember when we were free

 

Sometimes the rainbow turns to blue

And sometimes we don’t get to choose

 

Next time that I’m going to pull the trigger

I’ll see your face in front of me

Next time that you’re looking into the river

Remember how good it is to breathe

 

I remember how you scared me 

How you’re the opposite to me

With your thick skin and your opinions

How you were lonely but you were free

How you were lonely but you were free

 

​

Sad Lost Selfish Son:

​

Step outside the world

Forgetting what you said to me

As you left me as you were walking away

Over your shoulder something cold like

We were never meant to be

There’s no chemistry

You left me stranded empty handed

Twisted into you 

Fading into you

 

Where is the love when you need it the most

Where are you when I’m counting the cost of my lonely freedom…lonely freedom

Did I choose to be alone

Did I choose to be alone

 

So, Piss on everything

Cause I’m a sad lost selfish son

Cars crashed just 18

Locked out and the needles in

And I can feel it now I can feel it now

It’s cutting through my skin

Over your shoulder something cold like

There’s no love left within this heart of mine

You left me stranded empty handed

Twisted into you 

Fading into you 

Nothing without you

 

The back door slams and it blows out the candle

Like a vision she waltzes down the path and over the horizon

Disappearing into the mist of my imagination

All she ever was - was my fascination

But she’s gone…

 

So, Piss on everything…

​

​

Irish Charm:

 

Walking away again like a boxer growing old

Sound of lies and tears are falling and they’re landing on the floor

So hello nasty girl and goodbye beastie boy

It’s the end of me a friend so offend and turn away

 

I’m coming live from New York live right into you

I don’t know if I’m a fool if I’m a fool for liking you

Bring on your liquid skin and your Irish charms

Cause I’ve been waiting for you

Been waiting for you…

 

Well I don’t know what I should do

Turn my attentions to another girl

But it’s not that easy now as she’s walking out the door

So I try not to cry or to show to anybody that I care

I close my eyes and I sleep a little and I drink a couple more

 

I’m coming live from New York…

 

Ain’t it strange the way things change

The way dreams fade away

I see you now different somehow

But I still feel the same about you…

​

​

Roadtrip:

​

We're going roadtrippin', down the coast

We gotta VW, driving fast

We're flicking V signs at the cops we see

​

We're going roadtrippin', come with us

We've been giving up, giving f*cks

We're going roadtrippin' down the coast tonight

​

It's like the 60's we're getting high

It's like the 70's in California

We're like the Beach Boys we get around ra-ra-ra round

​

I kissed this blonde girl with black make-up

She sang a sad song about a poster boy

That she loved and touched but then he walked away

​

Picked up this old guy he was flying high

Called him Iggy Pop he was the passenger

And we sang along na-na-na na-na-naaaa

​

We're going roadtrippin', down the coast

We gotta VW, driving fast

We're flicking V signs at the cops we see

​

We're going roadtrippin', come with us

We've been giving up, giving f*cks

We're going roadtrippin' down the coast tonight

​

Sun's gone down, it's getting cold

Gotta turn around you gotta go home

And get a mortgage and a sh*tty job that pays

​

Or put the foot down, carry on

Burn the map, follow the sun

We're going roadtrippin' down the coast tonight

​

We're going roadtrippin'...
