Weigh my soul with weights of faith 03:18

Weigh my soul with weights of faith Measure me with mans own scales Find a label tie it too me Take your time to corner me Place my life in hands of those They call experts I call fools Lower standards and degrade Show the world a lesser state Bring the foolish bring the proud Start a war to show your dad Show me faith and show me god Show me slaughter and what for Bring me Christ and bring me faith Show me how to depredate Crush the people crush their soul All bow down to the biggest fool Figure out the human brain Hypnotise just too maintain All illusions are ok Go home switch on your TV Walk the tightrope feel the strain Everything is everything Live your life just too maintain Money money gain gain gain

Smiling like fools by Steve Salisbury First time I met you I’ll never forget I looked in your eyes and they sparkled like gems I thought your smile had been sent Straight from heaven First thing I noticed when I entered the room Was you standing there looking beautiful I wish that I’d said so when we said hello Is it too late now? This is me Tryin a tell you I’d like to be more than just friends and Can you see? That were smilin like fools across the table Were smilin like fools You have to know this is driving me wild Since I met you all I can do is smile My hearts beating fast and I have butterflies Am I gone insane? I know I was forward but you need to know It’s driving me crazy just knowing you Thinking about you is all I can do Girl I need to know This is me Tryin a tell you I’d like to be more than just friends and Can you see? That were smilin like fools across the table Were smilin like fools I know for you that it's complicated Part of me felt that i should have waited But my nights are sleepless as I wait with baited Breath for you You know that I don't want to push you, maybe This whole situation is driving me crazy I’ll give you the time if you need it maybe I’ll wait for you This is me Tryin a tell you I’d like to be more than just friends and Can you see? That were smilin like fools across the table (x2) Were smilin like fools

World on fire 02:33

A world on fire by Steve Charles She says that there’s a thin line Between reality and me She said she nearly missed it But now she sees clearly She wishes things were different She says I should change She says I’m too illusive Ain’t that a thing? (Chorus 1) She says all the things I want to hear Then she lets me down slowly Using words to cushion my fall She likes all the things that I like yer If she could only see We could set this world on fire She says she thinks I’m bouncing Off society Takin’ the bits I want An then runnin away I sit and watch and wonder Who she thinks she is Maybe she’s a dreamer Maybe (Chorus 1) She says she thinks I’m different In a beautiful way She says she thinks she likes me And then she moves away Its time for me to tell her I don’t play games Its time for me to leave her And so I tell her softly (Chorus 2) I say all the things she wants to hear Then I let her down slowly Using words to cushion her fall I like all the things that she likes yer But this can never be She’s a world on fire

I may never sleep again by Steve Charles I may never sleep again The things I saw they gave me shame I can't believe that anyone Could be so foul it’s oh so wrong I never thought id see such things Yer something made so grotesquely I know complacency breeds shame But I never thought I’d see such things and (Chorus) What the hell are we doing here? Making death out of beautiful things What the hell are we doing? Have you seen the way you treat yourselves There’s no respecting anymore Society is breaking down There’s racist people in my town I can’t believe the things I see Outside my house n in the streets If id done such things as a child I’d have been marched home by the ear and (Chorus) The pain I remember the pain Oh the shame You never wanna get caught again So where have all your morals gone Shot to the winds by the latest film? Why don’t you bond anymore? I thought that’s what the dinner tables for How come your kids are out late at night? Running a mock n getting into fights Why don’t they care like they should? What the hell are you teaching them at home? (Chorus) What the hell are we doing here? Making death out of beautiful things What the hell are we doing?

I wanted it to be a duet by Steve Charles Made of lustful thoughts of you I put on my coat to brave the cold Wondering streets as cold as nights are now Blustery winds won’t stop me now Coz I’m on my way and you’re on my mind I can’t forget to buy you flowers Coz I don’t want to sing alone Wandering streets and wondering why Somebody set the number 7 on fire tonight What’s the point of endangering all those lives Tonight the streets are really ablaze But you’re on my mind an I’m on my way I can’t forget to buy you flowers Coz I don’t want to sing alone Yer it’s been so long that I sung solo That’s why I wrote this song Coz I wanted it to be a duet with you, with you Made of lustful thoughts of you I put on my coat to brave the cold Wondering streets as cold as nights are now Blustery winds won’t stop me now Coz I’m on my way and you’re on my mind I can’t forget to buy you flowers Coz I don’t want to sing alone Yer it’s been so long that I sung solo That’s why I wrote this song Coz I wanted it to be a duet with you Yes I wanted it to be a duet with you, with you

I wonder if you really think by Steve Charles I wonder if you really think when there’s a minutes silence About the boys and girls who gave up their lives for us Your face it tells a thousand thoughts but not the ones you should have It makes me saddened to my bones I wish I hadn't thought about that I wonder if you really know what it means to give To let the lover of your heart run off with someone else I wonder if its you should choose the worlds fate Or would you run away when it gets to the last minute Fallen tears and fallen shame fallen boots it’s all the same Tomorrow brings another day another opportunity The life you lead yer I believe that you could really change There’s nothing here that’s harder than your accomplishments of late I wonder if you really know what it means to give To let the lover of your heart run off with someone else I wonder if its you should choose the worlds fate Or would you run away when it gets to the last minute

No one likes the truth 03:14

No one likes the truth by Steve Charles So softly spoken so sweetly versed When I’m around you I’m blind to the world I know I shouldn’t be but I can’t help myself, anymore So do you like him, I’ve seen him around People talk about him like he’s sound as a pound And I don’t like it coz I wanna be with you You ask me what I’m thinking I’m thinking I wanna be with you I said you might not like it No one likes the truth So you need time now, like I couldn’t guess To think it out now, this whole things becoming a mess I hope your quick about it, I can’t stand to wait I see you told him coz if looks could kill He’s coming over and he doesn’t look too thrilled And as he’s leaving you, you ask me what he said He asked me what I wanted I told him that I wanna be with you I said he might not like it No one likes the truth Well I’ve been waitin for this moment for so long I thought it out before I came but somehow the cats got my tongue And you stand patiently waiting to hear my words The tensions fading and I begin to speak You’re lookin beautiful and I am week at the knees And yer I like it coz I wanna be with you You ask me what I’m thinking I’m thinking you’re beautiful You tell me that you like it Now you like the truth

She lied too 03:34

She lied too by Steve Charles The curtain goes down on the city of lies The shadows depart as the morning arrives Their hearts were on fire as the day light broke through He said that he loved her and she lied too And what’s the point in all these empty words What’s the point in all these empty words? He gives her a kiss and he heads for the door She says she loves him and he lies some more He gets the coffee and she cigarettes They both lie again when they get back to bed And what’s the point in all these empty words What’s the point in all these empty words? (Break) He has a shower while she's finishing up She won't put it out till she's had the last puff She gets the breakfast he dresses upstairs He eats lies and leaves as he's late for an affair He leaves the house and she changes the sheets Her twelve o'clock lover's completely discreet No one will know when her lover is gone Dinner is ready when her husband gets home And what’s the point in all these empty words What’s the point in all these empty words?

Let someone else decide by Steve Charles Intro This is my nightmare, this is my sanity This is everything, yer I want it too be This is my way, past insanity No I don’t expect, you to understand (Instrument break) Take the work frown from your face Try and smile to replace All the anger deep inside Brought about by all the lies See the people in the street Look like losers too me Play the rat race play the game Pay your way into the grave (Chorus) I can’t do this thing Live my life for someone else I can’t sell my soul to you I already sold it too something else I can’t change like autumn leafs Coz I spent so long Just to get where I am Now you say it’s time to change again I spent five years of my life Training up for this shite Now you tell me there’s no work Is this some kind of twisted joke Is this some kind of twisted Shrug your shoulders loose a load Take the flare from your nostrils Try and smile for smiling sake Life's too short to live in hate Get new friends get a whole new life All your past is worth its weight in shite When you go you’ll pay as well Thousands of pounds for a six foot hole (Chorus) Repeat first verse and chorus (Instrument break) I don’t wanna think about this thing anymore Decisions run around me, but I’m not sure Let someone else decide Let someone else decide Let someone
