Ardy's Waltz 04:04
ARDY'S WALTZ Time was... Life was a waterfall but you were floating down that stream, Now you've grown older and I know you've been wondering "What does it mean?" What does it all mean? Don't let it get you down, Time flies... Moving so rapidly and there are not enough hours in your day for everything, That's not how it used to be, More like a hurricane, Where does it go? Where does it all go? Call on me, Should you ever got caught in a maze, I will try to show you the way Don't let it get you down...

THE 3rd TIME 'ROUND All this gravity is bringing me right down, With leaden feet, I'm sinking underground, Ah but I don't want to think about that now, With just one word you know, You make the day like Saturday’s ease, With your warm smile, You know you make this world a better place to be, But you make promises that you could never hope to keep. And now I'm in so deep, I'm drowning, Going down, For the third time 'round There always seems to be a reason why, You might not be here with me, That's not the way that you said it would be, Once again... I will try to explain how every days' the same, Furthermore... You've got me crawling 'round the floor, Now... I don't think that I can take this anymore, No... Your generosity is weighing down on me, Should you think it hasn't shown, Why don't you find a memory to call your own, With just one word you know, You make the day like Saturday’s ease, With your warm smile, You know you make this world a better place to be, But you make promises that you could never hope to keep. And now I'm in so deep, I'm drowning, Going down, For the third time 'round

JUST A MATTER OF TIME Found a hole, Got to fill it with something, But I don't know why Guess that's how we're all wired these days, Oh why, Oh my, Isn't it always just a matter of time Yeah! So take all you want, Take it then leave babe, Take a load of your mind, Don't worry 'bout me, Just be on your way, Oh why, Oh my, Isn't it always just a matter of time These are the best days I've ever known, Taken my leave and now I feel great, Yeah, I've got no complaints, Find a hole, Fill it with someone, Yeah, I hope it all works out right, If not... Count the days until they're leaving Oh why, Oh my, Isn't it always just a matter of time

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY Well I want to, Need to know you, Didn't know where I was going 'til you came my way, From the first moment that I saw you, You knew that I adored you, Without you there's no reason for living, Won't you say you'll stay with me, Or else this love may turn to dust, Can't you see, All roads lead back to us, My darling you must... Have a beautiful day, Such a beautiful day, Well I'll be your broken toy, Your little boy, In colours I'll surround you, I will try to keep you warm should the sun hide away, I'm so glad that you found me, Now, with your arms around me, I feel just like a king for always, Won't you say you'll... Stay with me, Or else this love may turn to rust, Can't you see, All roads lead back to us, Now darling you must... Have a beautiful day, Such a beautiful day...

Satellite 03:17
SATELLITE The bottom rung, what more could I have done? Satellite, with a crippled insight Your crowded signal never made it through Hold on… Hold that thought, all awards are bought Catch a wave, no one was saved Your wide bright future, we waited too long Hold on… Satellite, we should have seen the signs Little blade, look what you’ve made With perma-scar, you know who you are Isolation, leave me alone Hold on… Satellite, we should’ve seen the signs.

Colours 02:43
COLOURS Have you seen their world of folding green? While all else around is a delicate shade of blue Have you heard, the balance is absurd All for the want, The want of a silver spoon In the red, In the red, We're in the red, Everybody said Everyday the skies a silver grey, No matter what I do, Can't find me no golden hue Coming down, I'm reaching for the brown, And dreams of marshmallow yellow Going back Going back, It's a drag, Never coming back Colours my imagination, Messes with my head, Sometimes I think I'd be better dead Agent orange looking for the door hinge, Trying to find, Trying to find a way out of this Folding green, Your colour is obscene, While all else around is a delicate shade of blue, While all else around is a desolate shade of blue, While all else around is a definite shade of blue

IT'S TOO LATE I wish I could've told you, I wish I could've shown you, But I didn't know how, And it's too late for me now It's too late now your gone, It's too late So I went to see the Doctor and... He said he'd try to do the best that he can, To bring the balance back, Help me find the things that I lack, It's too late now your gone, It's too late

HERE HE COMES AGAIN Here he comes again, Making with those big sad eyes, Here he comes again, Isn't that a good disguise Says he wants to be your friend, Says he wants to make amends, Will this ever end? Here he comes again Here it comes again, Acting like its all your fault, Here it comes again, Giving you that pause for thought Making with those pretty lies, Meant to cut you down to size, Will this ever end? Here he comes again She says... "Don't you worry, babe. You know this world is a wicked place, when you see things that way... All of your doubts and insecurity, they don't have a foundation here. Place your trust in me..." Says he wants to be your friend, Says he wants to make amends, Will this ever end? Here he comes again

Without 05:39
WITHOUT You gave yourself in the eyes of God, You are to me a cut above, I know that words like love come easy for you, But they're hard for me, Cos I don't want to be without, Without We were as one in the eyes of God, One broken vow, Where does that leave me now? I know that words like love come easy for you, But they're hard for me, Cos I don't want to be without, Without I can feel the pressure drop, Temperature is falling in here, All of a sudden, I plunge into my darkest fear. Life won't be the same, Without you, I will disappear... We made a deal in the eyes of God, Promised to me and the stars above I know that words like love come easy for you, But its hard for me, Cos I don't want to be without, Without I can feel the pressure drop, Temperature is falling in here, All of a sudden, I plunge into my darkest fear. Life won't be the same, Without you, I will disappear, I can feel the pressure drop, Temperature is falling in here, All of a sudden, I plunge into my darkest fear. Life won't be the same without you, Without, Life won't be the same without you.
