Waste 03:33
Waste Words and music © Tim Hudspith, 1995 and 2011 This is the day When it all falls into place You’ve caught a lucky break And the cards are yours’ to play One more compromise And then you'll draw the line Well here come the excuses And the mutually exclusives It’s the price you pay For the life you waste It all slips away And the light begins to fade And that time to seize the day Will never come again Your moment in the sun Came and then was gone The crowd has all moved on And left you on your own It’s the price you pay For the life you waste

Atmosphere 04:22
Atmosphere Words and music © Tim Hudspith, 1992 The wheels turn and everything revolves I watch you rise, I watch you turn to go The penny drops and now I finally know That I've hit the point of overload I can feel the Atmosphere I can feel the Atmosphere And as you move towards the door I feel I want you even more I know, you're just a joy rider You take, whatever you desire I can feel the Atmosphere I can feel the Atmosphere You tear it all apart You rip into my heart I can feel the Atmosphere I can feel the Atmosphere

Summer Rain 04:44
Summer Rain Words © Tim Hudspith, December 2000 Music © James Bosworth, December 2000 Even bitumen melts In a heat wave And you get no relief Even in the shade You drive down to the coast To the cool sea spray But you get so burnt Your skin peels away The sun beats down The electricity fails You can’t get to sleep So your temper frays Then the clouds build up And turn black and grey And from the sky comes falling Summer rain Summer rain Summer rain Summer rain You can smell the earth Come alive again You let it soak your skin And run down your face It clears the air And cleans the dust away Nothing feels as good as Summer rain Summer rain Summer rain Summer rain

Guillotine 04:14
Guillotine Words and music © Tim Hudspith, June 2005 The madman shouts his warning The preacher starts his calling The angels start their falling As I wake to meet the mourning Soon the rivers turn to blood First a trickle then a flood The ravens are descending Picking eyes from happy endings My friends all turn to strangers And safety turns to danger I can hear the sound of sirens I can hear the women crying As I walk a crooked line Between giving up and lying There is a shadow over me Like a stain I cannot clean Then darling you Come cutting through Like a guillotine Like an angel sent to rescue me Come rescue me The sky is bloody crimson And from every dimension Everybody seems demented And filled with ill intentions As we hit the midnight hour And the dogs begin to howl There is panic in this town The signs are all around Then darling you Come cutting through Like a guillotine Like an angel sent to rescue me Come rescue me Come rescue me Come rescue me
5.
Esplanade 02:12
Esplanade Words © Tim Hudspith, November 1999 Music © James Bosworth, September 1999 Wind your window down So you can smell the sea As we drive along the esplanade And catch the midnight breeze No one’s gonna sleep tonight The summer moon is hanging high So let's drive down to the esplanade And in the ocean we will dive Wind your window down So you can smell the sea As we drive along the esplanade And catch the midnight breeze The midnight breeze The midnight breeze
6.
Discovery 05:06
Discovery Words and music © Tim Hudspith, 1992 Look to heaven see the sky I am humbled by the sight Of all the diamonds and the pearls Shining down upon the world I turn to see your eyes And I am wrapped up in delight Then I recoil in fright The chill of winter takes the night Discovery, I've learnt that I deny Discovery, the tenderness inside Discovery, and even when I try Discovery, my feelings are a lie My feelings are a lie You offer me your hand You're making no demands I can't seem to decide So like a sinner I just hide Discovery, I've learnt that I deny Discovery, the tenderness inside Discovery, and even when I try Discovery, my feelings are a lie My feelings are a lie My feelings are a lie
7.
Medicine Man 03:40
Medicine Man Words and music © Tim Hudspith, May 2001 Come to me my love I will cure your pain Come to me my love I will keep you safe I’ll be your medicine man I’ll be your cure for pain I’ll be your medicine man I’ll be your cure for pain Come my love we will never part I will always bear your heavy heart Come my love in you I see A soul to keep mine company I’ll be your medicine man I’ll be your cure for pain I’ll be your medicine man I’ll be your cure for pain
8.
Masquerade 05:14
Masquerade Words and music © Tim Hudspith, December 31st, 1991 In my imperfect circle, is a merry-go-round A never-ending spiral, which always hits the ground While waiting for the nightfall, I watch the sunset fade As I recall a feeling, which ends the masquerade I’m dancing on a wire, I’m running on a blade I can recognise a liar, I can only try and save A sense of desperation, a willingness to fight My strength is my salvation, it will be my guiding light Leave me alone I’m overriding fire I’m better on my own Containing it inside Within a perfect circle, I would reach and touch the sky Moving ever upwards, with strength enough to fly With truth as my companion, and love right by my side I would surely find salvation, I would never be denied Leave me alone I’m overriding fire I’m better on my own Containing it inside
9.
Rivertown 05:17
Rivertown Words and music © Tim Hudspith, 1988 A rivertown with soil red And weeping willows 'side the river's edge Underneath the bridge we'd talk Beside the river's edge we'd walk In muddy water we did dive In a disused quarry we did climb On summer days we'd never rest Now circumstances would suggest We followed the river down to the sea Together washed away we were longing to be free Longing to be free Where did you go and how have you been? What are your thoughts and what have you seen? Did you stay on the shore or did you decide To leave the land and into the water dive? We followed the river down to the sea Together washed away we were longing to be free Longing to be free We followed the river down to the sea Together washed away we were longing to be free Longing to be free

Heaven Knows 04:07
Heaven Knows Words and music © Tim Hudspith, 1988 Here I go What I'm doing Heaven knows I take my place beneath the sun But I'm not the only one And what I'm doing Heaven knows And what I'm doing Heaven knows But here I go Here I go As I walk beneath the rain And I join in the parade All the faces seem the same They're just playing all of their games And what I'm doing Heaven knows And what I'm doing Heaven knows But here I go Here I go Taking no-one for my friend How can they be there in the end? Halcyon days have come and gone And I'm a thousand miles from home And what I'm doing Heaven knows And what I'm doing Heaven knows But here I go Here I go
11.
Low 02:47
Low Words and music © Tim Hudspith, 1995 You're coming down You're feeling low Look around You're on your own You feel bad You're moving slow You'd give a damn If you weren't so low You feel tired You feel old You're fire Is turning cold So bad To be alone You'd give a damn If you weren't so low You're coming down You're feeling low You're coming down You're feeling low
12.
Altitude 05:12
Altitude Words © Tim Hudspith, 1995 and 2011 Music © James Bosworth, 1995 I am feeling, so detached I cannot breath, I am trapped I feel tension, taking hold Disconnected, I lose contral All my hopes, and all my dreams Evaportate, and dissapear Like a star, all red and blue I am falling, losing altitude Here they come, the dogs of war Hear them howling, at my door I am lost, and I am breaking Like a star, I am fading I am falling, I'm losing altitude I am falling, I'm losing altitude
