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 04:40
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
