Sleeping On My Shoulder (2023 Version) 03:36
lyrics
Dreams can be the memories we most crave in life And for once in my lifetime, they've finally come true The girl of my fantasies, rested her head when the clock struck three Then I felt her awe as she laid beside me Why get up When I can stay holding you Why wake up When all my dreams have come true Cause you were Sleeping on my shouldеr Sleeping on my shoulder Sleeping on my shoulder Sleeping on my shoulder Last night bеcame a precious memory As early morning rose, I got lost in your beauty Your smile is my ecstasy Your laugh just melts me You burn brighter then the waking dawn How am I this lucky? I don't care what anybody says Cause you're my ruby amongst the stone I don't care where the hell we are Cause when I'm with you Home lies in our arms Sleeping on my shoulder I've never felt this ever Sleeping on my shoulder Sleeping on my shoulder Can we lie forever? Sleeping on my shoulder I never wanna let you go Cause there's no one in my world like you You're all I've ever dreamt for And I've never felt this way before So hold me tight and tell me We'll stay together forever Sleeping on my shoulder Baby hold me closer Sleeping on my shoulder Sleeping on my shoulder Darling don't you let go Sleeping on my shoulder Let me paint my love to you It's been way overdue Drawing hearts when we're apart I wanna be with you You're the stars that light my night You're the fire that keeps me warm You're my darling, you're my baby You're what dreams are made for Sleeping on my shoulder Dreams are made for Sleeping on my shoulder Sleeping on my shoulder

Maybe I Like Them (2023 Mix) 02:26
lyrics
So uh why do you like her man Maybe it's the way she Compares to no one else Maybe it's the way that they Embrace me with a glance I don't know this feeling's kinda odd For once in my life, I would blush at the thought of them We're chill and they're kinda cute But she's outta my league and I'm sinking deep I dunno if it's a crush or a phase This loving thing is such a haze My hearts yearning to go, my mind says no One day I'll say something Maybe I could take thee Out for a movie Maybe I should leave love to The professionals I dunno this feeling's kinda odd For once in my life, I would blush at the thought of them We're chill and they're kinda cute But she's outta my league still I'm sinking deep I dunno if it's a crush or a phase This loving thing is quite a haze My hearts yearning to go But my mind says no One day I'll say something Nah Maybe I like them Maybe I like them Love is a scrambled mess man I just don't know what to do Maybe I like them Maybe I like them I'm falling, falling, falling for you Yeah I'm falling, falling, falling for you Baby I'm falling, falling, falling for you Yeah

London Beaches 01:11
lyrics
London beaches fricking suck They have no grace or style If you want a proper beach Just travel for awhile Brighton, Blackpool, Doncaster Never even been in 'em I can tell you this for sure Litters probably on that floor The sea is cold and I am wet From all this rain The weathers indecisive like Leave or remain (Brexit) Seagulls are annoying I really really hate them What more can I say I just really hate seagulls Fish and chips my bum They all taste wet and soggy Who the hell even eats them? I'm so lonely London beaches fricking suck They have no grace and style If you want a proper beach Just travel Europe, it'll be worthwhile

Redacted Virus (A.K.A. London Beaches II) (12" Extended Remix) 01:55
lyrics
We gonna hit you with the sequel We're going home I literally can't leave My isolated zone So I thought I'd make a rap And spit a few bars About my misfortune With my guitars Redacted virus fricking sucks It has no grace or style I legally can't Travel for awhile God I miss everyone Boredom is my friend No touching is my quota Soundtrack to my house Is coughing all over Bye bye taste Hello waste My room's just a messy Like the state of the UK government Oi Bojo Your boy's low low Cause lockdown is a no no Sincе Matt got the sack of the job It's getting hardеr for you Hiding being a snob Lemme hit it Alright Lemme update y'all on what's happening You want another verse For the rap without a curse? I get you, I see you Let's see what I can do Boris out of line Corona still in decline Ain't looking Priti here Patel what a prick My flu may be gone But man was it long I'm glad you liked this One single song I can't rhyme nor rap To save my life It's time for this chap To stop his strife Well my head keeps spinning And I keep thinking My passion is sinking I'm bad at singing But I'm still winning the big boy shillings Thank you three-pound-twenty Through streaming We out

Naked in a Clothes Shop (2023 Version) 02:57
lyrics
Got the indie music blasting Thinkin' I won't make it anywhere Some people tryna look for a new fit To be a brand new person in a new world I stood alone lost in a sea of faces I haven't felt this anxious to be out Too many faces, too many crowds And not enough distance for me What a freak to be When I am free Alone in my head What a freak to be When I am free Alone in my head In a shopping centre What a freak to be When I am free Alone in my head In a shopping Centre What a freak to be When I am free Alone in my head In a shopping centre They got style and messy hair A new s/o They've got masks off And their hopes and dreams They've got lives and places to be But I just wanna go back inside So how do I Break from a year of hiding It's not over yet So whys the nightclub open before sunset What a freak to be When I am free Alone in my head What a freak to be When I am free Alone in my head In a shopping centre What a freak to be When I am free Alone in my head I wanna go home Take me home What a freak to be When I am free Alone in my head In a shopping centre What a freak to be When I am free Alone in my head In a shopping centre Damn it I'm paranoid As all hell But how do I feel Naked in a clothes shop

The Next Step (2023 Mix) 02:46
lyrics
I've had enough Sitting around waiting for nails to grow Waiting for miraculous solutions To my own self made problems A passion turned to a burden And my ears are killing me Another five years down the drain Who knows what another five will do for me I'm a gambling man I'll see where the wind takes me Make some new space Make a new face For some unwanted strangers What a fucking bore to be I don't know what the future holds I'll just have to see Where the next step takes me See where the next step takes me

In My Little Corner of Memories 02:57
lyrics
Aimlessly gazing upon a sea of history Canvass painted with memories Polaroids and videotapes, memento vivere Quiet recollection leads you to the keys Opening doors to mystery Makes me sonder The old disdain for present passed Makes me wonder Those same conversations never seem to last In my little corner of memories I'll never get back them back but that's alright with me I was once that little kid dreaming blissfully Now out the shower, fifty years pass on my feet Time may be lost, regrets may be made But as long as we remember, we should live for today Every face, every fight, every word fades away Every second, every step it's all the same But I'm proud of you, for getting this far Your story's only started, journey's just began But I'm proud of you, for getting this far Don't stare down the hallway, don't sink in memoir In my little corner of memories I'll never get back them back but that's alright with me We were once those little kids dreaming blissfully Now out the shower, fifty years pass on our feet Time may be lost, regrets may be made But as long as we remember, we should live for today Saudade

lyrics
Goodbye sixteen I knew you well Goodbye sixteen I bid farewell I don't want to grow up I don't want to get old I don't want to lead my life I'm not responsible I don't want to grow up I don't be want to be alone In an empty room Thinking it all through Please don't say bye-bye Please don't say bye-bye Please don't say bye-bye-bye I don't want to grow up I don't want to see grey I can't bare to face the truth Don't let the youth burn out I don't want to grow up Everyone's moving on Please don't leave without me I'm only waking up now I don't want to say bye-bye Goodbye sixteen I knew you well Goodbye sixteen I bid you farewell Goodbye sixteen Where will I be Goodbye sixteen Just one more memory Goodbye sixteen I don't want to go Goodbye sixteen But time might make it so Goodbye sixteen I knew you well Goodbye sixteen I bid you farewell The clock strikes twelve And its all over Its all over Its all over Its all over Its all over Its all over Its all over Its all over Its all over Its all over

Acoustic Beginnings (2022 Version) 02:39
lyrics
Well you gotta start somewhere boy Take it slowly, take it easy Not everyone's a star when you start up It's a long and winding Road to go on Learn some chords 'n play some songs There's no rush about it There's no fuss about it Don't beat yourself up too much boy I know its hard but everyone's Gotta start somewhere Take these words Let 'em sink in I got faith in you boy So let's not fuss about You may not believe it to be true But take these words to heart Find your own acoustic beginnings Take it slow, enjoy that ride Find your own acoustic beginnings Save your worries, put them aside Find your own acoustic beginnings Find your own gem inside Find your own acoustic beginnings Take it slow and enjoy that ride There's no rush, no hush Soon you'll be able to Find your own kind of magic Learn to play, learn to love Don't cry about it There's no need to stop playing Don't give up on the dream now Three, two, one now Find your own acoustic beginnings Take it slow, enjoy that ride Find your own acoustic beginnings Save your worries, put them aside Find your own acoustic beginnings Find your own gem inside Find your own acoustic beginnings Take it slow and enjoy that ride Just take it slowly Take it easy I know you'll make it one day I believe in you

Drive To Nowhere (2023 Mix) 03:39
lyrics
Wake up in the middle of nowhere Amidst the scenery Wake up on my shoulder I could drive anywhere with you Take a night bus, top of the deck Take a plane, look above the skies Take a train, the emptier the better Take my hand, let's escape into sunrise Take a ride in the middle of nowhere Getting lost, burning 50 on a highway I wouldn't change it, I wouldn't have it Any other way Take a ride in the middle of nowhere Getting lost, burning 50 on a highway I wouldn't change it, I wouldn't have it Any other way I know it's stunningly cliché Cruising on concrete Screw having one single route See where the road takes us too Take a night bus, top of the deck Take a plane, look above the skies Take a train, the emptier the better Take my hand, let's escape into sunrise Take a ride in the middle of nowhere Getting lost, burning 50 on a highway I wouldn't change it, I wouldn't have it Any other way Take a ride in the middle of nowhere Getting lost, burning 50 on a highway Rev up nostalgia fuelled gasoline Drive to nowhere Drive to nowhere baby Drive to nowhere Drive to nowhere Drive to nowhere baby Drive to nowhere Take a ride in the middle of nowhere Getting lost, burning 50 on a highway I wouldn't change it, I wouldn't have it Any other way Take a ride in the middle of nowhere Getting lost, burning 50 on a highway I wouldn't change it, I wouldn't have it Any other way
