Your So Called Magic Spell 02:26
lyrics
You and me got more faith than love And more time on our hands than sensible reason Wasting away here day by day is only holding back The eventual leaving What did I do wrong? You must've seen me coming for miles The Devil must've made you afraid of my disguise You and me got more bonds than most But maybe beggar's luck is the best we can go by Dauly I hate these bricks I use To build a bridge to you and I don't even know why What do I do now? My cuticles are bloody and raw You've never seen a prisoner run so far before Find me wherever I'm hiding Wherever the pain hurts most Is where I need your so called magic spell Oh well, at least my memory serves me well

Magic Wand 02:16
lyrics
No one ever had a magic wand And no one came a-kissin' at my lily pond Writing stories that I'll never tell About a second chance without a hope in hell And life is an endless play But the cast is thin and the seats are pretty empty But we practice day by day 'til the words begin to form We should probably let him get back home He's got he bills to pay He's got a friend on the reciever Who'll keep working on him day by day 'til he finally flips and we make him a believer You tell me it's a brand new day And the future's here if only I'll believe it Apparently it's mine to keep but I was in too deep So I walked away We were hoping that you'd lose the cape You're not a clown no more And it's not a happy ending Maybe everything you gave away Is someone else's gain And the rest is just pretending I tell you that I've more to give And a life half lived is a lonely one But I haven't got a prayer to speak And the light I seek makes me feel like I'm the only one

A Push In The Right Direction 01:58
lyrics
Saying you will is the easy part Especially when your back's to the wall Especially when you lay in your bed And you start thinking back on it all Maybe I know Maybe someday I'll reap what I sow And whatever's remaining I'll throw in your bottomless hole Once in a while you shoot me a smile like it's a test for me Securely designed to get the best of me And nothing you say can stop that lonesome feeling All that I ask is a risk or a task Or a push in the right direction All that I want is a kick or a punt Or a push in the right direction Or a push in the right direction Or a push in the right direction

How Many? 02:32
lyrics
How many days did you stand out in the rain? How many time did they sail you down the tracks? How many years have passed you by Kicked you down and made you cry? Left you with a target on your back How many loves have left and gone away? How many hearts go bad inside a cage? How many lives have gone astray? Lost their light to fade away Left without an actor on the stage Life is hard enough Without these dreams They bind and tie you up 'til you can't speak How many lies have I told to ease the pain? How many times have I seen you on the big screen? You lock me up and knock me down and leave me feeling green How many times have I seen you on the screen? How many years of labour can you bare Before before the folks around you really start to care? How many days have gone and came Without a penny to your name? How many years of labour can you bare? Life is hard enough Without these dreams They bind and tie you up 'til you can't speak
