Meet Me In...
Words and music: Boo Sutcliffe
Just when I thought it had stopped, it had only begun
That darkness that comes in the night and won’t be undone
The heart is a muscle, it’s been wasting away for too long
29,000 days in a heartbeat or eternity lost in a song
Meet me in Beijing
Because this is the thing
I’ve seen the future
And I think it might suit ya
Meet me in Giza
Where the centuries disappear
Those pyramids speak to me
In a language I need to hear
And all that jazz won’t get you down
All that jazz won’t get you a second chance
So meet me in Highgate
Where there’s beauty in being late
There a peace for the restful
And the last word in tempting fate
Meet me in Brooklyn
There's a sight makes my soul sing
Take the bridge back to Gotham
Either way you’ve just got to run
And all that jazz won’t get you down
All that jazz won’t get you a second chance
So meet me in Dover
I’ll tell you over and over
It’s not what you say
It’s what sits in your heart
Meet me in the spring
When the world it is born again
I’ll meet you anywhere
Just say the word and I’ll be there
Because these are the days
This is the time
I’d meet you anywhere
Your place or mine?
Just when I thought it had stopped, it had only begun

Running Man
Words and music: Boo Sutcliffe
I'm a running man
Taking a lonely drive
Running was easy but I never found out
What it means to be alive
And on and on and on and on it goes
You're a running man
Stuck in the lost lay-by
Running was easy but you never found out
What it means to try
And on and on and on and on it goes
It's easy to see that between you and me
There’s a chemistry
As a matter of fact, I don't want you back
But I still miss you
Running man
Running man
Was if the real thing
Or were we just marking time
‘Cause I don't know what it was
Or if it was anything
And on and on and on and on it goes
It's easy to see that between you and me
There’s a chemistry
As a matter of fact, I don't want you back
But I still miss you
Running man
You're in trouble now
Regretting all the wasted time
If you knew then what you know now
Would you still have turned me down
And on and on and on and on it goes
And it goes on and on and on and on it goes
It's easy to see that between you and me
There’s a chemistry
As a matter of fact, I don't want you back
But I still miss you
It's easy to see that between you and me
There’s a chemistry
As a matter of fact, I don't want you back
But I still miss you
Running man

Promises
Words and music: Boo Sutcliffe
Tell me is it true?
Have you forgotten all those dreams I took from you?
Like a fading picture of a misty view
Tell me is it true?
I know you say we’re free
But these chains they disillusion me
‘Cause we’re tired of these promises and
Tired of the chains
That hold my inner feelings, bring you back again
Tired of these promises and
Tired of the lies
And you’ve got to tell me something
But you just can’t tell me why
Tell me is it true?
Shout the loudest and we might believe in you
He who pays the piper
Always calls the tune
Tell me is it you?
I know you say we’re free
But these chains they disillusion me
‘Cause we’re tired of these promises and
Tired of the chains
That hold my inner feelings, bring you back again
Tired of these promises and
Tired of the lies
And you’ve got to tell me something
But you just can’t tell me why
I know you say we’re free
But these chains they disillusion me
‘Cause we’re tired of these promises and
Tired of the chains
That hold my inner feelings, bring you back again
Tired of these promises and
Tired of the lies
And you’ve got to tell me something
But you just can’t tell me why

Letter To My Younger Self
Words and music: Boo Sutcliffe
I sat down and I wrote
A letter to my younger self
(Like he would listen)
I said there are just three things I’ve got to say
Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid
Why can’t we live together
All my friends and acquaintances
The living and the dead
All cosy and forgiven
In the place where I used to live
In the house where I was born
No I can’t hide the feeling
I’m not of this world, oh no
My feet don’t touch the ground
My legs don't work
You'll comfort me with pain
Bring me home
I took my time to realise
The loneliest word is “no”
And something simple as a woman’s touch
Was all I needed to know
No I can’t hide the feeling
I’m not of this world, oh no
My feet don’t touch the ground
My legs don't work
You'll comfort me with pain
And bring me home
Now I can’t escape the feeling
I’m not in this world alone
You’ll drag me kicking and screaming
Through it all
You’ll comfort me with pain
You’ll comfort me with pain
You’ll comfort me with pain
Bring me home

Almost Done
Words and music: Boo Sutcliffe
Well it’s almost done
That physical thing
Hanging out with someone
Oh it’s so damn good to be here
It’s not easy this way
Or everyone would be here slipping away
While I watched you sleep
You showed me all your secrets, all your better lies
You are the lonely water
That runs through my burning veins
You are the wind that chills me
And blows all my heartache away
Well the view from our house
It’s etched on your heart
Hanging out the skylight just to feel a little rain upon your face
Got to make it real
Had to catch your feet to stop you flying away
You are the sleep that finds me
When I’m chasing the break of day
You are the pill that calms me
When I’m rockin’ and rolling away
You’re the curious one
Was that the first time that you knew
The price of it all
Yeah, and the value too
It was all I had
It was all I need
It was all that it was
It was almost everything I owned
You are the sin that leaves me
Though I’ve never believed at all
You are the song that fills me
With music I don’t understand
I don’t understand
I don’t understand
Oh, I don’t understand
Oh, I don’t understand
Oh, I don’t understand
Oh, I don’t understand
Oh, I don’t understand

Impervious
Words and music: Boo Sutcliffe
I wish I’d had a faith in God or man
Some memory of a time
When truth was stored in better men
I wish I was immune to all indifference
Those stupid little things that I said back then I wish
Wish I was
I wish I was
I wish I’d read a book that made me feel
Like marching to a cause
A certainty I really feel
I wish I was impervious to everything
That questions what I know in my own skin
I wish
I wish I was
I wish I was
All men will feed their own
All men will feed their own insecurities
I wish I had a prop, a special thing
Something I can touch
Like a feather from an angel’s wing
I wish I was immune to my impermanence
But everything I’ve done was by my own hand
I wish
I wish I was
I wish
I wish I was
I wish
Wish I was
I wish I was

Afterglow
Words and music: Boo Sutcliffe
End of the day, out walking
I can see in your eyes, no more tears tonight
You looked so alive, the world so far away
I took your hand, showed you the way
Didn't I say, you were everything I'd ever known?
Didn't I say, pretty lies at the end of the phone?
They all came undone in the last of the burning sun
In the afterglow
Didn't I say, don't let me go off on one?
You know I get high on the sound of my voice
All those silly words that vanished with the morning dew
What would you say if they were true?
Didn't I say, you were everything I'd ever known?
Didn't I say, pretty lies at the end of the phone?
I couldn’t see, caught in the mystery
Of the afterglow
Didn't I say, you were everything I'd ever known?
Didn't I say, pretty lies at the end of the phone?
What did you find?
What did you leave behind in the afterglow?
The afterglow
In the afterglow

Overboard
Words and music: Boo Sutcliffe
The first time ever I stole from you
Mmm, life in the fast lane
You collapsed right into your rum and coke
And slept it off on the way home
It wasn’t Singing in the Rain
It was a different kind of gain
Second time out in the pouring rain
Mmm, that was the right fit
I cursed you down to your camisole
Then talked you right out it
It wasn’t Betty Blue again
It was a different kind of gain
I was adrift
I was so young
Feeling everything was lost
I threw caution to the wind
I was insufferable
I was so bold
Wanting nothing from the past
I threw it all overboard
I ended up like I always do
Oh, the tables turned
A slave to personality
I lost myself and became you
It wasn’t Strangers on a Train
Just time to move along again
I was adrift
I was so young
Feeling everything was lost
I threw caution to the wind
I was insufferable
I was so bold
Wanting nothing from the past
I threw it all overboard

Blink
Words and music: Boo Sutcliffe
More of the old man, less of the boy
This place is for watching the faces passing on by
Hey my companion, I’ll tell you no lies
Those clothes could stand up on their own
And they’re picking up flies
I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye
Of all empty places, on the afternoon’s cusp
This place will be rocking when I’ve slipped into the dusk
Your name’s on my fingers, I’ll tell what I must
If I’ve traced it once I’ve traced it ten times into the dust
I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye
All gone the summer song
The harder you listen, the sooner it’s gone
All gone the summer song
The sun’s getting colder, it won’t be long
One for your ambition; one for my own
All of those great expectations pared to the bone
I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye
