All the way to San Francisco,
Without a care in the world,
Without a care.
All the way to the edge of the ocean,
And I breathe and I sigh,
With the tide.
Where did it go to?
Where did it go to?
Drive the night through a state and its city,
Every road every town,
Are all mine.
All the way to insomnia city,
With my heart in my mind,
And a smile.
Where did it go to?
Where did it go to?
We've given up on a dance in the morning,
We've given up on it's us versus them,
We've given up on all that we promised in San Francisco.
Now I'm home and I'm back in my city,
Everything has a place,
And a weight.
Now I'm home and I'm king of my castle,
But you've changed and you've grown.
Without me.
Where did it go to?
Where did it go to?
We've given up on a dance in the morning,
We've given up on it's us versus them,
We've given up on all that we promised in San Francisco.

Is this where we started I can't believe it's true
Cos we're broken hearted the cracks are showing through
Just like Elvis Presley were all shook up inside
If to stay and fight or to run away and hide
In the arms of love is where grew
Well the leaves are falling I've got those wedding blues
Oh what could have been well it's not for me of you
Hush now darling well hush now don't you cry
I'm a good good man but I'm not that great a guy
In the arms is where we grew
So burn it up
As our heads whirl and our toes curl
Writhing on the back seat
So burn it up
Til our hands bleed and our lips steal
Riding round the ring road
Burn it up
Till our hearts yearn and our minds learn
It's all we ever needed
Burn it up
So tomorrow morning we'll let the children know
Maybe old St Nick could make all our problems go
Now the snow is falling please now don't you cry
Cos I choose to stay and I choose to make this right
Now here comes the Autumn here come the leaves
Stay with me in winter
So burn it up
As our heads whirl and our toes curl
Writhing on the back seat
So burn it up
Til our hands bleed and our lips steal
Riding round the ring road
Burn It up
Till our hearts yearn and our minds learn
It's all we ever needed
Burn it up

It's Gone - Abandoned
03:33

I gave you the best I've got
I leave you with a parting shot and I'm gone
Don't stop, to stop, refrain
I hit the door, I face the rain and I'm gone
It's habit forming this habitat
Of no regrets and don't look back
I gave you the best I've got
I leave you with a parting shot and I'm gone
It's okay, I'm not scared of the rain
I stay here, I won't move or complain
I know you, you'll switch the blame
You'll make it feel a better day and it's not
So I'll take the simple things
I'll learn to love a wedding ring and a job
It's okay, I'm not scared of the rain
I stay here, I won't move or complain
It's okay, I'm not scared of the rain
I stay here, I won't move or complain

There's a place we can stay
Rest your head upon my lap and put your eyes away
There's a place we can be
Talk yourself to sleep, and leave your words with me
There's a place we can hide
Let your breathing ease, and all your fears subside
There's a place we can pray
Leave your thoughts with me and I'll set them on their way
I saw you. We'll meet again.
I saw you. We'll meet again.
There are so few days
Let's starve the night of rest and talk until we find a way
To arm ourselves with dreams
To fight the deadliness of boredom and monotony
So don't mark your brow
With the ugly lines of disappointment weighing down
Don't mark your time
Filling up your days with things you should have left behind.
I saw you. We'll meet again.
I saw you. We'll meet again.
I saw you. We'll meet again.
I saw you. We'll meet again.
I saw you. We'll meet again.
I saw you. We'll meet again.
I saw you. We'll meet again.
I saw you. We'll meet again.
There's a place we can stay
Turn your face up to the light and put your shame away
There's a place we can be
Give up your old routine, take this philosophy
There's a place we can hide
Watch the world a while, you set it racing by
There's a place we can be
Put your faith in God, but leave your doubt for me.

In the tradition of the travelling bands, we guess we’re a bit like a Yorkshire E-Street Band...meets Arcade Fire...meets
The Faces…meets Dexys Midnight Runners…meets Prefab Sprout…at a party...in an argument about who gets to have sex with David Bowie. We're not as good at describing ourselves as others are, so...
