Love Me Back 03:09
'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 04:38
'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
4.
'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
5.
'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 04:08
'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
7.
'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
8.
'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
9.
Falling 02:37
'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
