Don't Lie Awake

It's 5am I still can't sleep
The future's looking ever bleak
Everything I've built's come crashing down
The smiles I used to bring to all
Have turned around and closed their doors
The laughter's vanished in this new ghost town
There's no cushion to break my fall
The crumbs drip slowly from Whitehall
Hanging on for words I need to hear...
"We're here for you, it'll be all right
Don't lie awake panicking through the night
Just give it time and you will know
Just how far all those who love you'll go"
Is it time to suspend the dream
Or else face life out on the streets?
Storm clouds gather faster by the day
I took responsibility
Faced up every anxiety
But what's the use when power looks away?
"We're here for you, it'll be all right
Don't lie awake panicking through the night
Just give it time and you will know
Just how far all those who love you'll go"
Think of the ones who weren't so lucky
Left behind by every community
Working their fingers to the bone
Their future is written in stone...

The Railroad

I wish you could see your smile
As you sing a song of romantic bliss
Then hear your trembling voice
As you give up on our love
You can't handle it
You'll fly and run until it hurts
Away from all that puts you first
You can't cross my state lines
When you're miles overseas
You can't bring a homage to this love
When there's a place you'd rather be
Come on can't you see all that you've thrown away
'Cos you know I never want you to be no slave
I wish you could see your mind
As it agonises over what to let go
It cannot see your heart
Filled to bursting
Blind to its glow
That sentimental joy those tunes are longing for
Is exactly what we had
Is exactly what we bore
That melody is fake
When love's burned at the stake
You can't sing its praises now
That you've knocked it to the ground
"And deep inside you know there's no excuse
For what they did to you but our warnings you refuse..."
I tied myself to the railroad when I fell for you
Blind to the train that was coming to slice us in two
