1	1	Blemish I fall outside of her She doesn't notice I fall outside of her She doesn't notice at all And mine is an empty bed I think she's forgotten And mine is an empty bed She's forgotten I know Put the brakes on Put the brakes on 'Cos I'm fading fast Can't find the link Between me and her He who was first's coming in last I fall outside of her And the trouble is there's no telling Just who's right or who's wrong Don't tell me that love is all there is I know don't I ? Don't crowd me pappy Got too much to think about The game's not lost If I say it's not And it's not Give me one more chance to do things right Don't crowd me pappy Got too much to think about There's no talking to her Talking to her I'll keep my thoughts to myself Unless I'm asked Like blemishes upon the skin Truth sets in Life's for the taking so they say Take it away I fall outside of her She doesn't notice She doesn't notice at all And mine is an empty bed I think she's forgotten All is bloated and far from truth Let's secure that reputation Place the dummy upon the roof Stitch him a tongue Give him proof Don't tell him love is all there is I know, I know Just pull the wool down over his eyes One more time Her heart's a foreign place I visited for a while And although I try to please her She came at night and stole my visa Come away now, run away now little man You'll not make sense of it Try as you might to understand Like blemishes upon the skin Truth sets in (special thanks to Andrew Jackson)	Blemish
1	2	The Good Son You know he'll take you But not too far Always first in line But second to none The good son The good son He loves a good tune so whistle one he knows He looks to you to see things right So take this ring and pass it on There's always stories riddled with lies You know the questions are best put aside Listen to him Listen closely now here he comes It's a shameful way to behave It'll hurt if he gets his own way You know he'll take you But not too far Always first in line Second to none Listen closely now Listen closely now Here he comes The good son He tells himself It's too far to come To redefine his aspirations to be The good son The good son The good son "Don't try to make sense of it" she said "It's all that you can do to balance up the books For him and you" And though he's nothing in particular But he's game for a fight He muscles his way in and stays for life And all the world has come undone And every family should have one A good son (special thanks to Andrew Jackson)	The Good Son
1	3	The Only Daughter She was, she was A friend of mine Do us a favour, your one and only warning Please be gone by morning She was, she was A friend of mine Inconsistencies Words on paper The track still warm I came to hate her Smitten no longer Me, the only daughter Render the vow It's my home now This, your one and only warning Please be gone by morning And if the ending is clean The quirk, the fuss, the vaseline She won't even see it coming Roll them over, roll them over, roll them over Me, the only daughter She was, she was a friend of mine Smitten no longer Me, the only daughter Render the vow It's my home now The penny's dropped The room's in order I masked the spot Me, the only daughter Do us a favour, your one and only warning Please be gone by morning (special thanks to Andrew Jackson)	The Only Daughter	The Only Daughter To many people it looks like the recording on the CD suffers from skipping etc. This i not a faulty CD but the recording is intended to sound liket that!
2	1	The Heart Knows Better I don't know how long She's been here with me But it's been a long time coming Make it last forever Make it last forever Yes, it's been a long time coming There's a name for this one There's a name for that Call me by my true name I'll call you back But I've no intention of seeking you out And the mind's divisive But the heart knows better-ha Better-ha And every night is wedding night in my bed My eyes are closed but I can see The sky stretched overhead The mattress on the floor A sea of faces at my door And every night is wedding night and I'm set And the mind's divisive But the heart knows better-ha Better-ha When she whispered in my ear What did she say? She put her hand hard on my chest What did she say? Oh, but nothing really matters in the end And if everything still matters what then? And the air is humid and my face is wet And the driver's much too drunk too see But she's sitting in my place Devastating beauty in my place And I'm absent from the place I ought to be And the mind's divisive But the heart knows better-ha Ha-ha-ha (special thanks to Andrew Jackson)	The Heart Knows Better
2	2	She Is Not There she is among her children Full of paintings Going round and round the houses Full of paintings, full of pictures There she is not (special thanks to Andrew Jackson)	She Is Not
2	3	Late Night Shopping Ask me I might go Why not take me with you? Ask me I might go Late night shopping We can take the car No one will be watching We can lose ourselves Late night shopping Tell me what we need Write a list or something We don't need to need a thing Late night shopping (special thanks to Andrew Jackson)	Late Night Shopping
2	4	How Little We Need To Be Happy She fell No jewels for the hurt When she fell Where is the mother? Draw back the sheets Shake off the sleep and complete me As I complete you There's a universe of disappointment to be lost How little we need to be happy How little we need to be really happy And you my girl Did I forget to sing? You, brimming with life and with joy And curiousity And the lights won't go out The stars refuse to dim And everything goes on but not as before "They removed his voice And the silence overwhelmed him" How little it takes Some of us are undecided We might come to you To find a new way out of this one She should pull us through What have they done to you? Come here let me hold you Cry all your tears The sorrows that threaten to overwhelm you Let's rise up again (special thanks to Andrew Jackson)	How Little We Need To Be Happy
2	5	A Fire In The Forest There is always sunshine Above the grey sky I will try to find it Yes, I will try My mind has been wandering I hardly noticed It's running on its own steam I let it go Oh here comes my childhood A penny for your secrets It's standing in the window Not out here where it belongs There's a fire in the forest It's taking down some trees When things are overwhelming I let them be I would like to see you It's lovely to see you Come and take me somewhere Come take me out There is always sunshine Far above the grey sky I know that I will find it Yes, I will try (special thanks to Andrew Jackson)	A Fire In The Forest	A Fire In The Forest Super track featuring Christian Fennesz
2	6		Trauma	Trauma Intended bonus track but became accidently available as download.
