You’ve always seen my gaze, You’re a beauty in disguise, I’ll never doubt your words, The sun is out- come along to the beach with me. Driving down the highway, The ocean wind flows through your hair. The smell of tyre and the sea, Is all but a perfect pair. The summer in your eyes, The fire in your hair, The flair in your voice, Has a picture no woman can match. This ain’t a simple serenade. A girl like you deserves the best. This trip to the beach is for you, Miles away from where we all began. The summer in your eyes, The fire in your hair, The flair in your voice, Has a picture no woman can match. I hear your troubles through the air, I felt your heartache and despair. You say you cannot be loved, Yet you pull me in, girl. From the bottom of my heart, I’m crying out for you! You’ve always seen my gaze, You’re a beauty in disguise, I’ll never doubt your words, The sun is out- come along to the beach with me! You’ve always seen my gaze, You’re a beauty in disguise, I’ll never doubt your words, I weep with tears as you run on over to me!

Walk With Me 04:42
Walk with me, As nobody else would dare. Like villains in a tale, We are mocked for our views. I cannot hide, My love for you is never dry. You’ll always be close to me. See the rain, The air is fresh and pure, Don’t linger inside, As the world will carry on. I cannot hide, My love for you is never dry. You’ll always be close to me. Just one second away, From a fleeting chance, No question of sorrow, No secondary glance.

Is this where I stand? Is this fate in hand? Is this where I lie? Is this where I’m meant to die? Can I find the key? I don't believe what I see. Can I make a break, Before the mansion begins to shake? He was after sample T, A trap we did not see. The stars are all gone. The stars are all gone. Is this where I stand? Is this fate in hand? Is this where I lie? Is this where I’m meant to die? Can I survive a bite? Her rattling chains cause a fright. The dead are closing in, The cause of corporate sin. He was after sample T, A trap we did not see. The stars are all gone. The stars are all gone.

You say I am wasting my time, Now if I am blind then you are too! You say I'm either a fascist or an anarchist, Now if I am blind then you are too! You say I'm not a man if I haven't had sex, Now if I am blind then you are too! Don't criticize my life with your terminal views, Now if I am blind then you are too! I crumble down, No words but my name. Feeling pain and anger, Of a friendship turned sour. Peace and bliss, I feel tranquil from the pain. I have given it time to heal, Though a few linger on. In time I will open up my arms, But to fewer than before. God give me strength, To keep on living. You say I am wasting my time, Now if I am blind then you are too! You say I'm either a fascist or an anarchist, Now if I am blind then you are too! You say I'm not a man if I haven't had sex, Now if I am blind then you are too! Don't criticize my life with your terminal views, Now if I am blind then you are too! Blind Marriage In My Soul! (x4)

We want the summer! (For the rain has come to trash our day.) Bring back the summer! (That solar ray on a windowpane.) Take back the summer! (For you and I.) Bring back the summer! (To parade on through the golden greens.) The rain keeps pouring, We lock ourselves in. To brood over the summer, That has been left to die. We want you back! (We Want). The days are not the same. (Ahhh). Pour your light (through the clouds). You brighten up my day! We want the summer! (For the rain has come to trash our day.) Bring back the summer! (That solar ray on a windowpane.) Take back the summer! (For you and I.) Bring back the summer! (To parade on through the golden greens.) What is that I see? (What is). A glimmer of life. (Ahhh). The plants reach out, (The plants reach out), To touch your dazzling hand.

You, you're staring at me, With a gaze I cannot ignore. Through a veil, in the spotlight, There's a sign on my fingertips. You, you're staring at me, And I, want someone else to say, That "it's you", that "it's you", "Come around through your fingertips". I, want someone else in life, Who cares, about my intuition, In writing songs, of life and fantasy. These songs just come naturally.

Bad Charlie 04:11
Alright mate? My name is Charlie. I’m a bit fucked up in the head, As you’ll soon see. Another beer down, I'm like the walking dead. Approaching the living, You need to know my pain. He fucked my wife, He stole my car, He told the whole shitty world, That I’m a dick! Bad Charlie’s gonna get ya! Bad Charlie’s gonna beat ya! Bad Charlie’s gonna fuck you up! Ah fuck sake, I better calm down. 1, 2, 3, 4, Ah fuck it! I’m kicked out the bar, I piss on the bouncer, I call the cab a wanker, And then I collapse in a street. Next minute, I am being beamed into the sky. By fucking aliens, man, They want to know my game. Bad Charlie’s gonna get ya! Bad Charlie’s gonna beat ya! Bad Charlie’s gonna fuck you up! I've been so keen to try, If only you can lie. By who takes the bite, To see it done through the night. Bad Charlie’s gonna get ya! Bad Charlie’s gonna beat ya! Bad Charlie’s gonna fuck you up!

People wanna dance with me, Cause I’m the coolest dude. I am turning 25, Yet I am not alive. People wanna dance with me, Cause I’m the coolest dude. This is not a dance you saw, But paranoia’s door. People wanna dance with me, Cause I’m the coolest dude. I am turning 25, Yet I am not alive, I’m alive…
