From humble beginnings with no chance of winning
I climbed every ladder to you
across the open border, a snake 'round every corner
but somewhere in the back a kid's all that remains
'cos it's the little things that take time
It's the little things that take time
Pretty as a picture, a permanent fixture
I've waited my life for you
I said "I'm a musician" , she said "you must be kidding"
'cos somewhere in the back a kid's all that remains
well it's the little things that take time
It's the little things that take time
It's the little things that take time
Deeper under water the days are getting shorter
I drown in the ocean for you
I couldn't make the beach it's too far out of reach
'cos somewhere in the back a kid's all that remains
'cos it's the little things that take time
It's the little things that take time
It's the little things that take time
It's the little things that take time

Oh dearest one
I know you have a lot to hide
My dearest one
now at someone else's side
When you were young
someone told you not to run before you could sing
They lie about everything
My standards have fallen but still you keep calling them
too high, too high
My standards have fallen but still you keep calling them
too high, too high
Oh dearest one
I know that you're afraid of life
My dearest one
falls for it every time
When I was young
someone told me not to play before I had to learned
to play in the Busby way
My standards have fallen but still you keep calling them
too high, too high
My standards have fallen but still you keep calling them
too high, too high
My standards have fallen but still you keep calling them too high, too high
My standards have fallen but still you keep calling them too high, too high

Read it back, all the chapters in our book
Hey look, Do you like the thing you took that left your mind and spirit dry, made you laugh instead of cry?
Where' you gonna find
Where' you gonna find
Where' you gonna find out?
Where' you gonna find
Where' you gonna find
Where' you gonna find out?
A red pill, I know flowers make you ill
My kind, just the blind leading the blind to where a poet leaves the room
where Australia meets the moon
Where' you gonna find
Where' you gonna find
Where' you gonna find out?
Where' you gonna find
Where' you gonna find
Where' you gonna find out?
Any time you are feeling second best
Tell me and my heart will do the rest
I'll ease the pain, end your decline
Would you do the same for mine?
Where' you gonna find
Where' you gonna find
Where' you gonna find out?
Where' you gonna find
Where' you gonna find
Where' you gonna find out?

Light The Way

I romanticise
I put things aside
I think that maybe I'm dreaming of fields yellow and green
a flash somewhere between enough to light the way back home
I do nothing right
I feel scared tonight
I think that maybe I'm dreaming of fields yellow and green
a flash somewhere between enough to light the way back home
I romanticise
I put things aside
I think that maybe I'm dreaming of fields yellow and green
a flash somewhere between enough to light the way back home

Goodbye

If I'm in the way let me know and I'll go
If I'm in the way let me know and I'll go
I won't be happy to go I fear
but the message received is loud and clear
In time I know that you'll cry
goodbye
If I'm in the way let me know and I'll go
If I'm in the way let me know and I'll go
I won't be happy to go I fear
but the message received is loud and clear
In time I know that you'll cry
goodbye
I won't be happy to go I fear
but the message received is loud and clear
In time I know that you'll cry
goodbye
