Poppy White 03:34
Alone she falls out of bed And brushes her teeth with last night's cigarette And who's to say I don't care about Your state of health and lack of wealth The world keeps turning as it's done before To her no changes on her door Through sun and sunshine The rain and pain You know I'll always feel the same There's a place in her mind A darkened path that you will never find There was a time once before A carefree smile now gone for evermore The world keeps turning as it's done before To her no changes on her door Through sun and sunshine The rain and pain You know I'll always feel the same A little line every day Keeps things numb Keeps real life at bay Falling apart at the seams A voice from me to come and blow your dreams The world keeps turning as it's done before To her no changes on her door Through sun and sunshine The rain and pain You know I'll always feel the same

Distraction 03:33
Remember when you drove me to distraction We followed the arrow in that direction Towns with names that looked so weird on the map Places and names just disappeared so fast The trees flew past like the birds Heading south for the winter But it's all a game, now I know I keep myself straight Accept everything, I don't think too hard About things which may never happen About things which may never happen Distraction - you drove me away Distraction - to fields of hay Distraction - I made up my mind Where are the places I feel at home I look around - there are none Just one long line of moving cars They got direction but they don't know where they are Make me frightened - heighten my fear Got to get me out of here But its all a game, now I know I keep myself straight Accept everything, I don't think too hard About things which may never happen About things which may never happen Distraction - you drove me away Distraction - to fields of hay Distraction - I made up my mind I don't belong to a world whose song Is a battered old wreck from a time long gone Where the race to compete Is the rule and the law I can't believe that had gone on before I never realised what a difference a choice Would make to a man with a soul and no voice But these things may never happen But these things may never happen

I stay in at night and worry about you Follow my mind and dream about two I've known you for such a long time I wonder if I'll ever get over you Why do I feel this way after so long It should have been buried, dead and gone I'm feeling sorry for myself And I want to get over you The longest road I ever walked Between the paths of right and wrong Deliver to me everything I want I feel much better since we talked things through The sadness is still there but what can I do I had so much loving to give you I wonder if I'll ever get over you The longest road I ever walked Between the paths of right and wrong Deliver to me everything I want The longest road I ever walked Between the paths of right and wrong Deliver to me everything I want Deliver to me everything I want Deliver to me everything I want Deliver to me everything I want Deliver to me everything I want

Rain 03:32
My God you said it's crumbling to bits It's falling apart it's a party split and Don't waste your breathe, I know their lies With the ideal plan for the idle rich and They've taken away the community spirit Don't drop your head, hold it high It's a grabbing hand that gets what it takes From a weakened, fallen, barren state and We know the truth can cut through lies Don't be taken in by the smile on his face Oh the clever words to keep you in your place Don't step out of line, not worth your time Rain - rain on down, rain on me, rain on me Rain - rain on down, rain on me, rain on me My God you said it's crumbling to bits It's falling apart it's a party split and Don't waste your breathe, I know their lies With the ideal plan for the idle rich and They've taken away the community spirit Don't drop your head, hold it high Rain - rain on down, rain on me, rain on me Rain - rain on down, rain on me, rain on me Rain on me Rain on me Rain on me Rain on me Rain on me Rain on me
