God Took A Holiday

It started with a Big Bang, Atoms spinning at full swing
Stardust, planets and Saturns rings, a billion years and no one asking why
Boy what a headache the maker must have had that day
Now the kids are wanting things their way
But when they went looking daddy never said goodbye
God took a holiday and if he were here I’m sure he’d fix what he saw
God took a holiday ‘cause he needed one
God took a holiday and we’re good enough to know what’s right and what’s wrong
God took a holiday and the letter that he left us said, “Get along amongst yourselves.”
We are the people, don’t need churches or steeples,
Ask long enough and you will discover that you knew the answers on your own all along
Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum! I smell the blood of a rich man.
Blood so black stains the back of his hands
With the whole world watching he can’t run from us now
God took a holiday and if he were here I’m sure he’d fix what he saw
God took a holiday ‘cause he needed one
God took a holiday and we’re good enough to know what’s right and what’s wrong
God took a holiday and the letter that he left us said, “Get along amongst yourselves.”
You are not alone, you have a great big home
When people come together they only need each other, Woooooo
They only need each other
We are the people, don’t need churches or steeples,
Ask long enough and you will discover that you knew the answers on your own all along
God took a holiday and if he were here I’m sure he’d fix what he saw
God took a holiday ‘cause he needed one
God took a holiday and we’re good enough to know what’s right and what’s wrong
God took a holiday and the letter that he left us said, “Get along amongst yourselves.”

As Long As She Needs You

It might not all make sense now, I’m comfortable excepting what I don’t know
But I can’t leave a rock unturned when I see it, find me some meaning
Some days I’ll sit for hours, let gravity pull me forwards
I find there’s purpose in the forces of nature when I can’t find it in myself
For a time it was easy, my god I need her to need me
You had it good for a time it was easy, when you knew just who you were
For as long as she needs you it all makes sense in the world
Defy old superstitions, my faith lacks in ambition
My guiding light went out and I need it because that’s just who I am
For a time it was easy, my god I need her to need me
You had it good for a time it was easy, when you knew just who you were
For as long as she needs you it all makes sense in the world

You & Me

Work was shit but I want to thank you
Your picture on my phone helped me get through
Eight hours of my day, time I can’t kiss your face
There you are the moment I walk in, don’t want to spend a second on talkin
We’ve got to claim the love distractions rob us of
Can you feel it as the whole world melts away
Leaving you and me
Only place that I want to be is where I’m holding you close
In my heart and in my bed
It’s a beautiful thing, and there’s no more beautiful things for me out there
Now I’ve got you here
When you wake up in a nightmare, reach out to me and I will be there
You’re in the safety of my ever loving love
Close your eyes and I will remind you, think of something pretty and I will
Wrap arms and eyes round you, you’ll see what love can do
Can you see it as the whole world melts away
Leaving you and me
Only place that I want to be is where I’m holding you close
In my heart and in my bed
It’s a beautiful thing, and there’s no more beautiful things for me out there
Now I’ve got you here
Will anybody notice, our floating off the surface
Our little piece of planet growing smaller as we climb
The shades of gray around us slowly fade from focus as we become one body and disappear from view
Leaving you and me
Only place that I want to be is where I’m holding you close
In my heart and in my bed
It’s a beautiful thing, and there’s no more beautiful things for me out there
Now I’ve got you here

We had a fight night
Nobody slept right
You’re a sensitive woman
I am a sensitive man
It’s a good thing we both understand
One of these days we will learn how to talk
Truth is we fight cause we care so damn much
In the morning you’ll find any daggers we said
Under clothing and sheets at the foot of the bed
We had a fight night,
Woke up this morning half black and half blue
Woke up this morning just thinking of you
I hope you’re thinking of me
It’s not hard for us both to believe
One of these days we will learn how to talk
Truth is we fight cause we care so damn much
In the morning you’ll find any daggers we said
Under clothing and sheets at the foot of the bed
Maybe one day we’ll learn and skip straight to the end
We’ll take those lemons
Make them sweet lemonade
Make some sweet lemonade
Make some sweet lemonade
You and I are such fools
Fools in love can be cruel
Hate to hurt you you hate to hurt me
Let’s put an end to this fight and agree
One of these days we will learn how to talk
Truth is we fight cause we care so damn much
In the morning you’ll find any daggers we said
Under clothing and sheets at the foot of the bed
Maybe one day we’ll learn and skip straight to the end

You’ve been watching her for hours
Staring’s creepy and for cowards
Your nerves may even charm her
Smile big just don’t alarm her
She does shotokan karate
She’s a black belt and may kill you if you dare
She’s too beautiful to care,
You have the fortitude to bare a little bruising
Get up boy and follow throug
Destiny is calling you
You better run run run like you’ve never run run before
Cause if you don’t start now then you’ll never catch up to her
You better run run run like you’ve never run run before
Cause if you don’t start now then you’ll never catch up to her
You make things difficult when meeting someone new
Don’t make things difficult I’ll tell you what to do
Best thing when meet new someone’s
Kiss mouth and eyes wide open
Get up boy and follow through
Destiny is calling you
You better run run run like you’ve never run run before
Cause if you don’t start now then you’ll never catch up to her
You better run run run like you’ve never run run before
Cause if you don’t start now then you’ll never catch up to her
Man you’re running to slow to ever catch up with a girl like her
You better run run run like you’ve never run run before
Cause if you don’t start now then you’ll never catch up to her
You better run run run like you’ve never run run before
Cause if you don’t start now then you’ll never catch up to her

Always Room

It’s always fun when you’re here,
Wishing you were near heavens it’s been a while
Slow as a day turns to years
My life disappears waiting for you to return
Watch the world around me burn
I can’t make a move til I learn you’re coming back
Spare my patience before I make a choice I regret
And one day should you need room
I will always let you in but never out of my heart
It’s always fun when you’re here
Not when you’re not near, heavens it’s been a while
Even as a boy i wanted more, rather playing house than war
I knew my love was something to build up and never something to be destroyed
And one day should you need room
I will always let you in but never out of my heart
It’s been a long time heavens come home soon
I will always let you in but never out of my heart
I will always let you in but never out of my heart
I will always let you in
When you come to a dead end and you’re needing a good friend
I will always let you in but never out of my heart
It’s been a long time heavens come home soon
I will always let you in but never out of my heart
