we live different lives different lives different lives from the ones we used to have living separate lives in separate towns don't care what's going down in your world couldn't care less about the past something you clearly fail to grasp we live different lives different lives different lives no going back living separate lives in desperate times tomorrow belongs to those who can hear it coming you obviously have a lot of spare time since when has getting things done been a crime? we live different lives different lives different lives re-runs of the chart show and a bottle of screw-top wine replaying the youth that i never really had in my mind most of my peers have nothing between their ears and have fat behinds there's a nagging feeling that i'm being left behind we live different lives different lives different lives and that's ok with me living separate lives in a modern world you could be a boy or a girl it makes no difference to me i don't mind if you choose not to call again and i don't mind if you choose not to be my friend cos we live different lives

i'm not a health professional in any way but it's clear your days are numbered...clear as day this situation is really strange tongue-tied and tired and full of shame there's a change in your condition which indicates to everyone that you're leaving there's a change in your colour and in breathing paying the greatest price of all you're learning how to die learning how to die you gave me life a million times now you're learning how to die meds have been reviewed by district nurses around the clock care, your share of curses there's a record back home thats yet to be played unconscious people breathing deep nowadays you're learning how to die learning how to die you gave me life a million times now you're learning how to die learning how to die learning how to die you saved my life a thousand times now you're learning how to die

in my dreams it looks the same in real life it has changed got to go and get that microfilm framed stained glass windows on a double door lottery money saved the day it changed everything in every way now mollycoddled children fill the corridors stained glass windows on a double door i wrote this song in 1998 plum coloured hair pub garden gate a-line skirt vanilla essence rose stained glass windows on a double door i've outlived you for a while now and i'll outlive you for a while more gave back all the photos on the tennis court stained glass windows on a double door i stared at the Kandinsky hanging on the wall i studied the line and the tone as we broke up by telephone this subject has been covered many times before

Middle Age 05:01
i refuse to look back a little bit of this and that cos middle age is here and it's not going anywhere it came so fast it's almost unfair it came so fast it's so unfair well, all of my fears have gone away tonight it left a stain on me i refuse to shake hands refuse to make any plans cos middle age is here and it's not going anywhere reject the past, embrace today forget your youth and walk away...go on well, all of my fears have gone away tonight it left a stain on me well, all of my fears have gone away tonight it left a stain on me everyone finds their own level in time i've got yours and you've got mine tried my best not to be distant this time it's so hard to be loving and kind i refuse to look back to people that i've had in the sack i guess the end is near cos middle age is here hit my face against a brick wall clip your wings you take a fall fall...fall...fall...fall down

Stay Near 05:39
i was dreaming in the autumn time looking for a sign, stay near chilly chilly was the autumn sun not having so much fun, stay near nothing could write-off all this blue this memory does not belong to you i was walking with my head held high looking at the sky, stay near dreamy dreamy like a lullaby tears in my eyes, stay near writing this melody for you only serves to replace the new i'm scared of letting you go thought i'd let you know, stay near i was crying with some music on my beautiful one, stay near slowly the answers come through how we became the chosen few no-one could ever replace you i believe your life has been renewed.
