'Love Me Back'
When I was small I had a dog
And all his hair was white and black
Oh and I could love my dog but
Oh oh oh, you can love me back
Oh, you can love me back
When I was small I had a horse
And all his coat was black as black
Oh and I could love my horse but
Oh oh oh, you can love me back
Oh, yes you can love me back
You can love me back
You can love me back
We're still living this lucky life
Who would have thought of that?
Oh, you can love me back
you can love me back
When I was young I knew a few
A few with hair as black as black
Oh and I could love them too but
Oh oh oh, you can love me back
Oh, you can love me back
You'd better love me back
You can love me back

'Orange Roses'
There is a time I always cry
Usually when I pass the second bend
Usually when the waving ends
When I realise I've said goodbye
I carry pictures in my mind
So many pictures from the past
Images of you at last
Memories of so many happy times
And I will bring you orange roses
Though you may not know my name
I will bring you orange roses just the same
My home is filled with coloured things
Things of yours to use and make me smile
And in a little while
I'll feel the happiness they bring
And I will bring you orange roses
Though you may not know my name
I will bring you orange roses just the same
Sometimes it seems that it's all ending
Strings of sad farewells and long goodbyes
But time has come to celebrate beginnings
Time to wipe the sadness from our eyes

'These Are My Tears'
Ask me later how I feel
How this year has passed me by
I can't tell you what is real
But ask me and I'll try
This is my home
But it doesn't seem a happy place
This is my smile
You'd better catch it while you can
These are my tears
They're coming far too easily
These days
I thought my luck had flown away
Thought this love would pierce me through
On the happiest of days
Thought my heart would break in two
No good feeling sad inside for too long
I've got no more patience left for that
There are times it seems the sun will never come
And then it comes, comes flooding back

'Worse Things Happen At Sea'
My bicycle has been stolen
And this bad day has barely begun
A boy with a spray-can has scribbled
his name on my wall
I feel like I'm running on empty
I've tried everything under the sun
And I'm wasting away on the telephone
And speaking to no-one at all
But worse things happen at sea
Worse things happen at sea
Worse things happen at sea
Than things that happen to me
Nan na na, na na na, na na na, na na na na
I'm bottling up the buses
For the times when one just doesn't come
And I'm waiting in line
For some kind of a sign
That things aren't all coming undone

'Millenium Mailshot'
I walk out in my flower-pot hat
I'm gonna copy up some information
I realise the guy is talking back
He starts to tell me
about his singing relation
And suddenly I'm smiling, yeah-eah
And suddenly I'm smiling
And it's a new year, new year
It's a new year
I move along to buy a hundred stamps
At this point I feel my mood is slipping
But when she puts the packet in my hand
I realise she's saying 'happy licking'
And suddenly we're smiling, yeah-eah
And suddenly we're smiling
And it's a new year, new year
It's a new year
New year, new year
It's a new year
Happy New Year

'Somerset'
The place I love has a happy name
It sounds like childhood playing in the sun
And mine was one such happy one
The place I love is a powerful place
That sometimes heals and sometimes lays you low
A place that many people know
Somerset
I seemed to me the time was always summertime
Somerset
I seemed to me the time was always summertime
And the sun would shine
Life was better than the city
Peacocks calling in the spring
Valley's lying still and pretty
Times when we grew everything
People came and filled the house
Lived from love to love and day to day
And in the summer valleys we could hide away
Oh don't you want to come and walk in the night with me
And smell the sweetly flowering trees
Oh don't you want to come and talk in the night with me
And see the sky lit up with stars?
Well the hippies left and life grew quieter
Children who had seen it all
And settled down in London town
Became a singer and a writer
And the happy times they come and go
People die and children grow
But it always stays the place you know
thought the times may change

'Mushroom Song'
It's early in the morning
Time when voices seem so loud
It's early in the morning
And all I want to do is lose the crowd
You say you've all been up for hours
You say you rose to meet the dawn
You say you've all been picking mushrooms
And left me with the daisies on the lawn
And left me with the daisies on the lawn

'Rocked By Your Love'
As a gale on a mountainside bends the oak tree
Ancient old tree
Cover me
As a wave in an April tide moves a whole sea
Just like the sea
I am rocked by your love

Falling

'Falling'
Slowly seeing with altering eyes
Thoughts still deep and unspoken
Wondering if maybe I'm falling
Taking the time to see
Catching glances and following smiles
Love and laughter awoken
Knowing that now I am falling
Taking the time to see
Fears arrive on nights dark wings
Have I found a place of safety?
We must speak of all these things
Am I swimming to the shore?
Trusting tender, unknowing, we
Believe that love will be
A raft upon the sea
