Alright To Be Shy Life can be so scary when you can't even say hello
Always fear and wonder at what could be if you let yourself go
Sometimes you do it, sometimes it all seems to flow
Like water running softly, or the leaves rustling when the wind blows
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright to be shy
Believe in yourself because there's nothing wrong at all
Stop questioning why every jump becomes a tumble and fall
Get back on your feet, give yourself another chance and stand tall
There's no point going out there if you live with your back to the wall
One day we'll fly away on our own steam
Take a chance and live the dream
On that day we'll lose all our deepest fears
And we'll realise it's alright to be...
Copyright © Phil Cooper | Amber Sitting alone again inside my head
I like to think I'm fine
And maybe I am, or maybe there's a hole
An emptiness that can be filled by you
God knows I wasn't looking for love
It just came and took me by surprise
I'm finding it hard to sleep again
But Amber helps me find my rest
So here's to you
I'll raise my glass in the hope that you'll join me some day
Should I hold my breath?
I don't like to think of it
But I can't control my morning thoughts
The sun comes up and it's you again
Just thinking of the next time I might see you
Keeps my heart going round and round
But Amber helps me and comforts me
God knows I wasn't looking for love
I was just biding my time
I'm finding it hard to sleep again
But Amber helps me
It's all changed now
My head goes round and round
It helps me glass by glass

Among The Stars The clock upon the wall is losing time
A constant reflection of me in my prime
The hour hand hits 12 and starts to chime
The book upon the shelf gathers dust
It's total lack of readings seems so unjust
But it's so hard to lose this wanderlust
And I'm all too aware of the feelings that surround me
And if I make a move I could find myself among the stars
What worries me is if I spread myself too thin
And somewhere down the line I find myself giving in
I know that I could bring to you a smile
And juggle with the little time I have, for a while
But if I move an inch, I'll take a mile
So where's the harm in giving it a taste?
After all the empty nights alone that I've faced
There's so much that I do not want to waste
If I make a move, would you be for me what I would be for you?

Descent In the sky with a lot on my mind and it's raining heavily on to my sanity.
Give me clarity, don't give me reasons.
I don't want to know the root of all of this.
Let me out of this cranial captivity.
Somethings gunna blow...
Yeah, somethings gunna blow in the end.
On a tightrope over barbed wire.
Over shark infested waters beating back reality.
Don't know why but I want to give in.
Want to sink in to myself.
Let go of my sanity.
Am I losing my mind or just losing control?
I'm just starting my decent into oblivion.
Taking time to remember all the things
that I don't want to remember feeding my sensitivities.
Letting go now forgetting all my blessings
and the ticking's getting louder.
and disturbing my sense of worth
Now the dizziness affecting me greatly.
I'm losing all balance and I'm bound to throw the towel...
I going to throw the towel.
Copyright © Phil Cooper | Drink It Away Take all these knives
I'm sure they belong to you
I'll keep handing them back
So you can do what you do
Again and again and again and again and again
I'll take a drink to forget the pain
And another to forget the fear
What's the point in it all anyway?
So make mine another beer
Feed me a line
I'll believe every word you say
I'll tell you the same things...
That I say everytime
Again and again and again and again and again
Drink it away
Drink it away 'til it's gone
Drink it away
Drink it away, but it's still right here
It still lingers on

Escape - part 2 (yours) I hope you find your way
Worth the price you pay
It’s all too much to bear
Time to pretend you don’t care
That’s the easy way out
And when all the feelings are shot
And you’re out of control
Run along
I know that life gets hard
You can’t keep up your guard
And when you’re in too deep
Beware of the council you keep
They’ll lead you astray
You struggled to make it alright
So you did what you know
But try as you might
You can’t run away from yourself
Copyright © Phil Cooper | Freewheelin It looks like all the bad times are gone
Well, it looks like all the bad times are through
'Cos when you left I didn't know what to do
So I climbed, struggled up that mountain
With self doubt, loathing and fear
And now I've reached the top
I'm at the peak, and I know
It's all downhill from here.
And I'm free wheeling
Well, I'm free
I'm free wheeling

From This Chair Everyone knows what's best for me
Everyone knows how it should be
But they don't know what it's like to be me
Everyone wants to show they care
Let me know that they're always there
But they can't see what I see from this chair
And they don't know what it's like to be me
No they don't know what it's like to be me
I'm stuck in the middle and I feel like I fading out
Everything I know seems to have got right up and wandered out
But I'm still in the frame of mine where nothing makes a difference anyhow
So I don't need the hassle right now
Copyright © Phil Cooper | Getting To Know You You've been there all my life.
But I've never known you.
Now you're right with me.
And I won't lie, it's a little scary
I'm just getting to know you but I'm not sure I want to.
I'm just getting to know you and I'm not sure I like what I see.
You'd think it would be clear.
But it's always been hazy.
A reflection on my life.
Shows I'm not the person that I want to be.
Getting to know you like I should

Grass is Greener I never used to give a damn about anything going on outside.
Now recently, I start to see the grass is greener in everyone else’s world.
My blessings number high, so why do I find myself so dismayed.
I never used to give a damn about things like this so why...?
Recently, I start to see the grass is green.
The grass is green and so am I.
Jealousy builds up in me, and all I see is all I don’t have
Everything I crave seems far away from me now,
Like happiness, like love.
Like everything I’ve ever wanted, everything I’ve ever needed.
Everyone else is fine, so why not me?
Let the light shine down on me.
Open doors and set me free from this self made misery.
Copyright © Phil Cooper | I Will I won't pretend that I haven't shed a tear over you
'Cos I'm torn to the bone and my heart is black and blue
But I know it's important for me to pull myself through
And I don't want to lose you no matter what I have to do
If it means I have to swallow my pride
Forget I ever sailed on the tide
If I have to ignore when the rain starts to pour
I will
When I take a fall, I dust myself back on my feet
For the first few steps, it's difficult to make ends meet
I know it must be strange, to have this all rearranged
And the things you think you know all change
But I'm not going to throw away a diamond
I'm not going to throw away gold
I'm not about to lose all the treasure I hold
There's nothing I want more
If it means I have to swallow my pride
Forget I ever sailed on the tide
If I have to ignore when the rain starts to pour
I will
If I have to forget, there will be no regret
If I have to pretend, it's a means to an end
I will
I'm not going to lose you

If It's Not You If it's not you it'll be somebody else
That will break my heart, tear it in to shreds
You'll do nothing and I won't know how to cope
I'll just love you, in spite of common sense
If it's not you, I'll find a different heart
To fall in to, deeper every time
And it's all behind me, all in front
It's everywhere, it's all I see
And it's not you... It's not you
If it's not you, there will be another time
I know it, I won't wait that long
But my ticket ran out a while ago
On the back seat full of broken dreams

Hit 25 and put my life on cruise control.
Yeah, it might not be perfect, but at least it’s easy
There’s no real danger anymore.
But if there’s no real danger, then why am I so scared?
I’m just an ordinary man,
Placed neatly in a box under the stairs.
Tidied away, no threat to anyone, no real danger
And I don’t really want to be
But if there’s no real danger, then why am I so scared?
It might not be perfect, but at least it’s easy.

Keep Me Down There is always something getting in my way
Like satallites that form a powerful delay
I would like to see you, make you smile again
But life's not quite that simple, it's a crying shame
and it...
Keeps me down
But it won't keep me down forever
Once there was a girl and she lived in a dream
Somewhere in my mind it all built up some steam
I'm determined that I'll learn from this and see
But what will lif throw at me next from this debris
it tries to...
Keep me down
But it won't keep me down forever
Well I have seen within my few and tender years
That life can leave your face stained with a million tears
Our time is short upon this astronomic sphere
And how to make the best of it's not always clear
When it...
Keeps me down
But it won't keep me down forever
Copyright © Phil Cooper | Left Behind Take a walk on empty streets it's easy to get by
But then again I guess it's hard to see the reason why
There's little point in going where the sun will never shine
No matter where you go you feel that nothing here is fine
When you've been left behind
You can't fill the hole
Time will take it's toll on you
When you get thrown aside
Nothing you can do can ever heal this scar
Memories of other times you lived a different way
Never fade from you they just get clearer every day
Ticking clocks and days and months torment your every move
Living is it's own disease, never to improve
It's taking me over
It's taking me over and over again
It won't let me go
It won't let me go. Please don't let me go
I thought it was an easy ride to travel on your own
Nothing to distract you from the path you want to roam
But now and then it hits me like a hammer to the brain
Travelling is worthless if you're travelling in vain

Life After The Bomb The calm is not as peaceful as it seems
Broken heart and shattered dreams
Life inside your own shell
Your idea of living hell
There's life after the bomb
But it's hard to think straight
There's life after the bomb
But you can't see past the mushroom cloud
Desolation, torn apart
Those ragged dreams, a broken heart
Destination built to break
There's nothings else for you to take

Fly away
The nest is empty
Now you've flown
Things got cold
You moved with the times
To warmer places
But seasons change
I was reaching my harvest
Little bird,
Fly away
The nest is empty
Now you've flown south
Now it's time to sow again
Sow the seeds that one day I will reap
For now I'm content to wait
To sow the seeds
That will blossom in time
Then I will be nourished

Nerves On A Pin
So listen to me
I know it's a maybe
But please can't you see
That maybe is me
At the end of the night
Do you question yourself
What's wrong or right
Can you see?
I wait for a day
I don't know if it's mine
If things go my way
And it's worth all the time
I invested in you
It's worth the prize
You're something brand new
Can you see?
You and me?
You tempted me in
Don't know if you meant to
My nerves on a pin
And I'm playing this through
A million times
In my head I can't stop
Can't commit other's crimes
Can you see?
You and me?

Despite the pointless nature
You'll try to change the world
Desite the evidence that shows it can't be done
So try if you like and you will see
The only thing you can change is you
The little things
That play on your mind

That only you can change
Not enough people are wearing hats
But there's not a lot I can do about that

Not Too Much To Ask My blossoming garden's infested with weeds
Since I've been denied the most basic of needs
I can't make the best of the things that I find
Instead there's an emptiness deep down inside
And it's not too much to ask
For something and someone to call my own
So what will it take
It's not too much to ask
I thought that by now I'd be able to fly
My wings have been clipped and I can't figure why
Tell me your secrets and hide all your lies
Tell me it won't last, the tears and the cries
Tell me it's not going to stay like this
Copyright © Phil Cooper | Only In My Mind Lightly treading round the issue
Small talk can't make room for me to see
Do you feel the same?
Taking words out of their context
I piece them like a puzzle in my brain
Do you do the same?
Countless times, I never can decide
If the things I see are only in my mind
In my mind, it's all how it should be
And it's all worked out fine for you and me
But I wish I had the strength to make you see
In my mind's not where I want to be
Erring on the side of caution
Isn't going to win the day this time
Or things will stay the same
Telling tales and childish rumours
There must be a better way to say
All I want to say

Paper Cup I write these word on your lips
A crimson lie from a stolen kiss
I feel the air rush over me, like a paper cup that's empty
And I feel so real
And now the end is coming round
I stop and see myself in you
Looking through
And I couldn't lie to keep you by my side one more time
And I couldn't lie to hold you by my side one more time
Now we walk down this misty path to nowhere
And as I walk away from you
You feel that there's no solitude in being alone
If I could have known what you were thinking
I would have made my last goodbye, a long long long long long long time ago
One more lie, one more journey to the depths of the known
One more lie, more lie for the road
And I couldn't lie to hold you by my side one more time

Drowning in the man I want to be.
My lungs are all filled up with hatred and disgust.
Aimed towards the man I used to be.
It's safe to say I lost my mind.
It's for the best 'cos I now I find a better one.
Wipe the slate clean start afresh.
Physician, heal thyself again.
Put a ladder up for me I want to get down.
I've been up here far too long, with just my frown.
With a careful footing now, I'll make it down somehow.
And find it's not so bad there on the ground.
I've sent up my flare.
Laid my soul bare.
And it's time to rejoin the race.

Sleazy Pop Song For a while it's been burning
For a while there's been something there
It may be wrong, but tonight I don't care
And the way you look I can't help but stare
We both know what we're here to do
So c'mon baby climb up here with me
This may seem sleazy to you,
but it's a sleazy act and you know you want it too
So just forget your worries
kick off your shoes
There's no shame in what we're about to do.
Something has gotta give
I don't care if it's me or you
I need you now and I'll get what I want
Because I know you'll be happy to oblige
It could be said we're just using each other
In fact that is probably true
Copyright © Phil Cooper | Snowball What is it you don’t understand about the way I’m feeling?
Do you think this all came from nowhere?
No warning signs that I was breaking down?
Wish I could give a little more.
But I’m so selfishly involved
Got my own issues, sorry if I bore.
Just got to work it out.
It started as a snowball as it tumbled down the hill.
I wish that I could stop it, but I’ve lost my own free will.
Now it’s reached proportions that I can’t control.
And it’s knocking me down, rolling me round.
Making me feel like crap and I’ve given in.
What do you say we take a trip to the hills?
To clear my head.
Leave all these issues buried where they are.
But they follow me.
The snowball is chasing me.
The snowball is making me run from my sanity.

So Begins So begins the same old story
Just some words on a page
Nothing's changed since the last time
But minutes feel like an age
And it's you, you're always on my mind
Soon I'll have to face up
To the truth about it all
That it's pure procrastination
And I'm scared of the fall
And it's you, you're always on my mind
I'll keep waiting for these words to help me out
But I'll be waiting forever
I'll tell myself it's going to be cathartic
But it's nothing of the kind
Like a madman chasing the sky I do the same things every time
Because it's everything I know and I just can't get the words out
Truth is next to beauty
And I struggle with them both
Every time I face the future
It leaves me foaming at the mouth
And it's you, you're always on my mind
It's you, I can't get off my mind

Just waiting for it to sink

Take Your Life In Your Hands Midsummer's gone and you're nursing regret
You can see where you're heading but you're miles away yet
It feels like you've taken a step or two back
But maybe it's time to cut yourself some slack
Before throwing it all away
They say that the darkest time's just before dawn
You're walking a path that is tired and worn
They say good things come to those who wait
But it better come soon before it's too late
Don't throw it all away
Take your life in your hands
Take your life in your hands
Give it another day
Emptiness poisons you right at the start
You're fighting a battle deep down in your heart
Where the lonely soul wanders alone in the dark
Waiting for something to fuel the spark
Don't dampen the flame
It's only life, don't worry
This soon will pass
Copyright © Phil Cooper | Taking Control Crossing the line is easy when you can't see
So I've stopped walking
And yet you're trying to drag me across
Back to your territory
Well you don't have control anymore
You gave it up
And now it's mine and I've turned around
And I'm heading off in a new direction
So come on now, commit the crime and do the time
And don't complain
Don't take offence at what I say
Come on now, it's time for you to make this right
And leave with your tail between your legs
So you can't manipulate me anymore
You can't control my emotions
I'm stronger than that
I'll be my own man
And happy about it
Just leave me alone.

Taking Our Time I see your colours fading in to my life
A new beginning, a spark to a light
I've had my darkest hour
I've had my darkest night
Now you're close to me
Your colours burn so bright
And I never knew how simple life could be
Put your trust in me
I'm not taking you for a ride
If you could only see
How you make me glow inside
Taking our time to find...
A thousand years could pass and I'll be waiting here
For the answer to a question that I've yet to ask
A million rays of sun enter my heart
They blind the past and the memories of yesteryear
And I never knew how simple life could be

It's not a nice place to play
No one seems to have control

Bombings everywhere
No one seems to give a damn
You know you're in a state...
When the asshole rules the world
And the nice guy doesn't bother
because he knows he'll only finish last
Like children in a row
They fight and argue so

And neither side can see
Though it's clear to you and me
No one seems to have control

And it's always been that way

The Water The Water
Polluted by the only thing left in your life
Nowhere to go now
Stumble back to where you think you belong
Loaded
Time to show there's more to you than what you've seen before
So now
Don't let go of what you've got but open up your hands
Cursed by the blessing that's brought you this far
And left you all alone by the road side
Promises lost amongst a sea of noise
So you cling to what you've got as it floats away.
The water gives you life
But the undertow can sweep you away
And leave you with nothing more
And drown the dreams you've harboured all along
Cursed by the blessing

But this is the way things are

There Flickers A Light Finally, from the corner of the room there flickers a light.
And it calls to me telling me things will be alright.
Ironically, nothing's changed except my standpoint.
Now I can see without a judgement cloud to poison my mind.
With pessimistic, fatalistic, and simplistic words to doubt myself
I'm not suggesting that I'm seeing the world though rose tinted eyes.
But the mist has risen to show that there’s a break in the clouds.
Up ahead I see a dawn where I can comfortably do the things I’ve always dreamed I'd do some day.
I always told myself I'd be this way
There flickers a light...

I'm all out of key
And I don't really know
If I'm here or not

Am I losing the plot?
Well it's not that I've got issues I can speak of
There doesn't seem to be a central cause

Wound up like a spring and fit to split
Looking at my life, is this it?
Is this it?

Throwaway So the year is drawing to a close
And I know it been a tough one
It's time to look to the future now
And see where the road is heading
And if anything it's shown me that what we have
Is fragile, it can go at any point
So say what you need to and leave it behind
Thank **** it's over now to begin
It's all so throwaway
So throw it all away
And everyone gets to a point
Where they don't know to go left or right
And I hope you can look back and say that you've chosen
The right path at the right time
But you know that the past is not quite how you see it
And the memories are fading fast
And I won't say it's time for me to close that door
It's already slammed shut and I'm ready to shout
That...
It's all so throw away
So throw it all away
So the nights are drawing in sooner now
And I know what I'm trying to say
That I needed you all and all I can say
Is you were with me that's all I could ask
I know I don't say it often enough
But I love you all and I need you all
You're the people I want beside me
When everything else turns to dust
But remember what life is
Remember each day is a new an brilliant time
You can do what you want
You can do what you can

But it's getting harder with every passing day

Throw me down a rope, or put out a net, for when I jump
'Cos the cracks are starting to show...
The bomb is getting nearer...
The bomb's about to blow.
Time on my hands is time I spend alone
That's not my choice it's just how the cards are thrown
And I'm impatient I need a decent hand
You know I look to you for help, but my cries go unheard
My face is getting more and more blank every day
Throw me down a rope, or put out a net, for when I jump
'Cos the cracks are starting to show...

To The Night Lying awake, wondering why everything’s out of place
Throwing myself over and out, trying to catch some rest
Taking my time to try to relax, but I’m twitching like mad
And I can’t figure out why all of these things have come to bother me right here, right now.
I call out to the night, but nothing is answered
I call out to the night, but still I get no relief
I call out to the night
I call out to the night in vain
Nothing it seems can ever stand still, it’s flicking around and around
And I can’t seem to focus my thoughts on any single thing
I pray for peace, I turn my head, I try everything I can
I look at the clock and it’s two minutes on from when I last looked over
And now the darkness seems to amplify the troubles that were nothing just a few hours ago
The last few years are played out step by step, by actors underneath my eyes

Water The Weeds Misery isn’t me, but I find it so hard to get out of this.
Misery, set me free. How long do I need to put up with this?
Sense of personal worthlessness growing inside.
Can’t shake this anxiety.
Looking out of the window, I see people laughing.
Are they laughing at me?
Drag me down with you and I’ll water the weeds.
Keep the doors closed, ignore all your personal needs.
Space and time are passing, it’s all been a waste so far.
You’re a waste on this earth... set yourself free.
Lethargy and Fatigue, pouring over my naturally joyful soul.
Apathy holds the key, the door is locked, I won’t try to force it.
Because I’m finding myself in a state of unrest.
Can’t summon the energy
So I’ll lie by myself in this listless pose.
And what will be will be.
Set yourself free from this painless pain.
But you know you won’t because you still feel you’ve got so much to give.
I tell you you’re wrong... I tell you you’re wrong.
Copyright © Phil Cooper | Which Way To Go Your number's on the other side of the dice
The way you could have gone
It's facing the floor now
And you're left floundering around
You don't know which way to go
There's only one card left in the deck
And that card is you
There's no way you can play poker
When the only card left is the joker
You don't know which way to go

You Don't Have A Choice Don't you know, people say to you
If you get what you want, get what you want
Don't let it slip away
Don't you know, people are stupid
You don't have a choice
When it's ripped from your arms, ripped from your arms
Don't you know, people say to you
That you make your own luck, make your own luck
You do
Don't you know, people don't have a clue
You don't get the chance
When it's all that you do, all that you can do
Just to keep yourself from breaking down
Don't you know, people say to you
If you follow your heart, follow your heart
You won't go far wrong
Don't you know, people don't understand
That it's all you've ever done
And it's left you stranded, left you stranded
No, in this life you don't have a choice
Copyright © Phil Cooper | Your Question Is Important It's ok Mr Jones, your job is quite safe,
But I'm afraid you'll have to apply for it again.
It's not quite what you'd planned and we're sure you'll get the role
But your salary's not quite the same
We're very well aware of the issues that you'll have
And we'll deal with that if things get too sour
But we're sorry to announce that the questions you may ask
Are no match for our hierarchical power
We'll listen to the unions and then go our own way
Because we know what's best
And that's what lines our pockets with gold
When it all goes wrong we can say that we listened
To the voices of the people
Even if we didn't pay any mind
In this open forum you can say what you like
We keep telling you we're all friends here
If you kick up any fuss then we'll get you on your own
And confront you with confusion and fear
So your question is important but the answer is not to us.
