ANOTHER WAY - VINCENT TUCKWOOD
You could say "we’re out of options"
You could say "we’re losing track"
You could say "we’ve gone too far now"
You could say "there’s no way back"
But I won’t let you down
No I won’t let you down
This time
You could say "I hardly know you"
You could say "how can I trust
You could say "you’ve got an angle"
you could say "you’ll cut and run"
But I won’t let you down
No I won’t let you down
There’s another way
to square the circle
to be more than they think we are
There’s another way
to stand together
choose love and laugh in their face
You could say "I fear the first step"
You could say "and I fear the next"
You could say "I fear the critics"
You could say "and I fear the rest"
But you won't let me down
No you won't let me down
There’s another way
to square the circle
to be more than they think we are
There’s another way
to stand together
choose love and laugh in their face

Cruellest Kindness

CRUELLEST KINDNESS - VINCENT TUCKWOOD
There’s a voice I heard somewhere along the way
There's a place I’ve been where a thousand birds
swooped and played
There's a piece of me
circling the moon and flying among the stars
But when I come back down there’s a thousand scars
where I cut myself
I take it out on myself
I turn myself inside and out
For cruellest kindness
For pieces of love wrapped in temporary blindness
For cruellest kindness
wrapped in temporary blindness
And when I circle the moon
and fly around the stars
You steal the sun
to pull me back to earth
And still I try to ascend
to fly among the birds
You call me back
to let me know I yearn
for cruelest kindness

OO-WHEE - VINCENT TUCKWOOD
You ask one thing just one thing that you need
It is more than I am able
You count to 10 and then ask me again
It is more than I am able
I jumped through your hoops been what I was not too
It has all been at your bidding
Ask for one thing just one thing I have left
Well I'm sorry it's not an offer
Oo-whee, it's not just 123
Is it what you want from me
'cause I am on my knees
Oo-whee, what you want from me
Can't you even see
that I'm on my knees
Today

UP 4 AIR - VINCENT TUCKWOOD
I get to you when I talk too loud
and put you down
You'd rather be alone in crowds
I point you out
Reach out for me it's dark and cold down here
Reach out for me just help me to come near
You look for me and I'm not there
I'm out your hair
You say I'm blank, I keep it in
behind this grin
But that doesn't mean I'm playing hide and seek
I'm not playing games or giving you a tweak
Give me time my friend
'cause I'm coming up for air
Give me time my friend
just don't say your unaware
Give me time
There is time
and I want you to be there
Give me time my friend
'cause me
I'm coming up for air

Travelling

TRAVELLING - VINCENT TUCKWOOD
You can move so fast you stop traveling
A bullet that's gone blind from the barrelling
You’re racing time
With your feet on fire it's all you know
that asphalt melts you burn the road
for people who are following you
Just start traveling and take the time
to lean the curve and hear the rhymes
of people when they’re talking to you
You can miss the point with the slightest push
You can try to lose with your winning touch
When your time is up
It could end in a minute and you won't know it's gone
It could end in the minute with all you have not done

JUST LOVE - VINCENT TUCKWOOD
Let your knees shake
Let your heart break
Let it break
Let your blood flow
When it wants to
Let it flow
Let yourself go
Down the wormhole
Down you go
Yes, you’ll know
When it hits you
When it hits
It's love
Just love
Just love
All it takes is one step then the next
To the beat of the rhythm in your chest

ROUGH DIAMONDS - VINCENT TUCKWOOD
You are you and I am me
And we could break so easily
When they’re kicking us in shape
And we can stand and take
Their taunts and fears and crap complaints
They can't stop us
It's their weakness
You know what's strange
I'm half-and-half
I forgotten how to laugh
At the same time
I feel 10 feet tall
6 feet wide
I have got a smile inside
They can’t stop us
We are rising
We could bend until we break
We could fall to our knees
Take all that we can take
We are stronger than we think
But when they get in your head
It's tantamount to rape
They looked for blame and they found us
Though they cut and they run
They will find they have not won
They won't believe what they have done
When you pull them from the earth
Rough diamonds
Catch the sun
See the sun and the moon
You’re catching them in your eyes

She Says She's

SHE SAYS SHE'S - VINCENT TUCKWOOD
She says she's going down
Says that she can take no more
She says she sees the writing
When she's face down on the floor
She says that when he hurts her
It's not just his fists that hit
She says she's feeling lonely
She says she's getting used to it
She says he's got his rules
She says he tells her right from wrong
She says he demands quiet
She says she's silencing her song
She turns away before the tears can fall
She looks away then I hear her whisper
That through it all
She says she wants to heal him
She says she wants to heal him
She thinks that she can heal him
Well I'm not sure
She says she’s going down
Says she's nothing left to give
She says he'll keep on taking
She says this rape it knows no end
She turns away before the tears can fall
She walks away back to him
And i’m not sure

EGG FLIP - VINCENT TUCKWOOD
I've seen you walking around
Yes, and i’ve
Seen you hanging round some other guy
Tell me, what's your excuse?
'cause when it comes between me and him
You've got to choose
We seemed to have the best thing
Yes, and we
Should have spent the rest of our lives together
Now you're cutting me loose
When it comes between me and him
You've got to choose
Did you think it was easy
Trading me in?
All I know is you’ve got to see the truth
It's me or him
It's me or him

50 REASONS - VINCENT TUCKWOOD
If you told me you're lonely
And who's to say you’re not?
Who's to say I want anything
of what you haven't got?
You give me 50 reasons
for who you choose to be
50 reasons that sound the same
"it’s you, not me"
If you asked me to save you
And who's to say I could?
Your saviour’s there in the mirror stare
Just take a look
Your 50 reasons haunt you
They make you twice your age
They make you cry and just whine again
While you stay the same
If you told me I'm hurting
And who's to say I'm not?
Who's to say I want anything
of what you've got?
I am waiting for you to come clean and come true
I'm waiting for you to come true
I am waiting
