WORK NON WORK


ACCIDENTALS
Under the strain
Something's got to break
I don't think this branch
Can take my weight
I've been up this tree
All the time you've been looking for me
And you will not see or try to believe
When there's no guarantee

MESSAGE FROM HOME
I hope you kept the note
That I left for you to read
Or did you throw it away
For passers-by to stop and see
And nothing can account
For reasons why I'd be so mean
Why do I open my mouth
Where I know silence should have been

Now the leaves are off the trees
The view is clear, this time of year
And as I watch as you go out
I see the breath sigh from your mouth
And nothing can account
For reasons why I'd be so mean
Why do I open my mouth
Where silence should have been

You never kept the note
That I left for you to read
I know you threw it away
I saw it blow around the streets
And nothing can account
For reasons why I'd be so mean
Why do I open my mouth
Where I know silence should have been

PHANTOM
(instrumental)

WE'VE GOT TIME
You and I've got something
Why don't we try
What fools cannot buy
What lies cannot hide
You wrote your name in silver light
The question still unanswered
Just in case it's not right

We've got time to work it out
We've got what numbers cannot count
Who knows to what this will amount

Miracle man possessing all that you can
Will you change the circumstance
Let it happen by chance
You wrote your name in silver light
The question still unanswered
Just in case it's not right

We've got time to work it out
We've got what numbers cannot count
Who knows to what this will amount

We've got time to work it out
We've got what numbers cannot count
Who knows to what this will amount

ACCORDING TO NO PLAN
Oh and I found myself lost
Looked but nowhere to belong
The status I achieve
Holds nothing I believe
And we drift on
And according to no plan

And I don't know where we are
Can't say what we're affected by
Something has us beat
Leaves us open to defeat
And we drift on
And according to no plan

LIGHTS OUT
I will show you for example
A situation that's like winter
I'm not complaining about night time
It's harder in the morning

My room's too small for parties
Too spacious when you're lonely
Some books can be close friends
That's as long as you like reading

Turn the lights out when you're leaving
I want to watch the carpark empty
It's easy when they're strangers to wave goodbye

My brother's back off holiday
He's been chasing girls in spain
He said he'd bring me a guitar
Which I said could bring me fame

I remember your exitement
Chooseing pictures for your wall
And now you've seen them all so often
You hardly see them anymore
Turn the lights out when you're leaving
I want to watch the carpark empty
It's easy when they're strangers to wave goodbye
