EVERYBODY KNOWS
I don't know where to begin
I'm not placing blame
Or trying to make you feel ashamed
But you got to quit this need to win
I can't take much more
When you bring the battle to my door
Everybody knows but you
You create the hell you pass through
You leave destruction in your wake
It comes back around
To turn your world upside down
Tell me what's it going to take
For you to see
You are your worst enemy
Everybody knows but you
You create the hell you pass through

GOODBYE
I made a wish on a falling star
A satellite to my sole desire
Sure as gravity you struck my heart
I'd never be the same
Decaying orbits pulled me deep inside
Closer still our worlds were destined to collide
Your colours bled into my northern skies
I could almost touch your flame
But like a sun dying echoed by its light
I could feel your warmth but you had long passed by
I'd lost you then before I even realised
I never had the chance to say goodbye
We built a city from the broken shards
Of ancient stories told of love that fell apart
We carved our dreams into the stone facades
It's there I wrote your name
And when you left I walked the empty square
I realised that you had never really been there
And yet the ghost of you still whispered in the air
And it haunts my days
I'm not ashamed of this foolish wish
The promises I made
Or the pledge that touched your lips
Or even now I see our love in its decline
I just never had the chance to say goodbye
I made a wish on a falling star
A satellite to my sole desire
Sure as gravity you struck my heart
And I'll never be the same
And though I wish you only happiness
That you find peace and that your life is truly blessed
There's just one thing that twists the thorn there in my side
I never had the chance to say goodbye
So I'll say it now

Bourbon St Rag
If I was your sweet loving man
If I was your sweet loving man
If I was your loving man
Don’t you know I’d do all I can
To make you understand
You’re the one
If you were my sweet honey child
If you were my sweet honey child
Don’t you know I’d turn time and tide
To find myself right at your side
You’re the one
Oh well the games we could play
If only you’d come my way
But my heart still sags
And my feet still drag
To the beat of the Bourbon
To the beat of the Bourbon
The Bourbon St Rag
If I was your sweet loving man
If I was your sweet loving man
Don’t you know I’d do all I can
To make you understand
You’re the one
You’re the one
You’re the one
