What I’m trying to say
written by Neal Byrne

Take a walk with me
Come and talk with me
And I’ll share with you things
I have inside of my mind
Lets escape from here
I can feel your fear
As you listen to words
That you’ve been trying to avoid

Chorus
Do you need this
Do you hear this
Can you feel this
What I am trying to say

In the moonlight
T’was a clear night
But the fog rolled right in
As soon as I started to speak
Stars were faded
This love it was jaded
And then just like the sky
You turned and drifted away

Chorus
You don’t need this
You don’t hear this
You can’t feel this
What I am trying to say

I fell from the highest shelf
And shattered like China delf
Found a tear in your eye
When I turned and I just walked away

Chorus
I don’t need this
I don’t hear this
I can’t feel this
What I am trying to say

We don’t need this
We don’t hear this
We can’t feel this
What I’m trying to say

Oh Darling
written by Neal Byrne

Oh Darling, please say goodbye
And leave me here happy
No tears in my eyes
I’m so tired of sharing
My minds just stopped caring
And my heart don’t feel it inside.

Oh Darling, my love left tonight
It was waiting in standby
Now it caught it’s flight
There’s no point in stayin’
The love’s gone away an’
I just want you out of my mind

Chorus
I’ll shave my head one more time
Just to scratch you from inside my mind
Once I was caring
Now I’m not sharing
And I’ve stopped loosing my mind
Don’t you kiss me again
And tell me that we’ll be friends
One time I believe you
But now I see through you
And I just wont live it again

Oh darling, please say goodnight,
I can’t stand to argue
And I’m too tired to fight
I know we could force it
But its run its course an’
Its time I was out of your sight

Chorus

All the time that we shared
Left me so unprepared
I’ve just got over
The last time I loved her
Maybe I should never have dared

Chorus

QUESTIONS
written by Neal Byrne

DID YOU SEE ME FALLING, DOWN TO MY KNEES
OR DID I HEAR YOU CALLING, CALLI NG OUT TO ME
MAYBE JUST IN MY HEAD OR MAYBE IN MY HEART
BUT I’M SURE I SAW YOU LOOKING AS MY WORLD FELL APART

DID I FEEL YOU HAND LYING GENTLY ON MY FACE
OR DID I FEEL YOUR SMILE BRINGING ME RIGHT INTO GRACE
DO I SEE YOUR FACE INSIDE MY DREAMS WHEN I SLEEP
ALL THE QUESTIONS IN MY HEART AND IN MY MIND I WILL KEEP

Chorus
AND I’VE SAID MANY THINGS IN MY LIFE THAT WERE TRUE
I’D SECRETS IN MY HEART THAT ONLY I COULD SAY TO YOU
AND I QUESTIONS IN MY MIND THAT QUESTIONED EVERYTHING I KNEW
SO I LOOK TO ME AND I SMILE TO ME
CAUSE I CANT TELL IF THIS IS TRUE…..

BUT WEVE BEEN KEEPING QUIET ABOUT EVERYTHING WE KNOW
THERE’S TIMES I WANT TO OPEN AND TO PUT MY HEART ON SHOW
THERES TIMES I WANT TO TOUCH YOU, THERES TIME I WANT TO LEAVE
THERES TIMES I WANT TO PUT MY HEART BACK OUT THERE ON MY SLEVE

DID I HEAR YOU WHISPER SOFTLY, DID I HEAR YOU IN MY EAR
DID I HEAR YOU SAY THOSE SWEET SWEET WORDS, THOSE WORDS I LONG TO HEAR
DO I FEEL YOUR ARMS AROUND ME IN MY DREAMS WHEN I SLEEP
DO I QUESTION ALL THE QUESTIONS THAT MY HEART WOULD LOVE TO KEEP

Chorus
AND I’VE THOUGHT MANY THINGS THAT I SHOULD HAVE KEPT FOR ME
AND THE STORIES FROM MY HEART THAT NOONE ELSE NEEDED TO SEE
AND THE THEORIES FROM MY MIND THAT ONCE BELONGED TO ME
SO I LOOK TO YOU AND I SMILE TO YOU, AND WONDER IF IT ME YOU SEE

CAN WE ANSWER QUESTIONS LOVE BROUGHT UP?
TOP UP MY EYES WITH TEARS FROM YOUR CUP.
LIGHT A CANDLE, HAVE A SMOKE,
TRY TO LAUGH, TRY TO JOKE.
CAN WE ANSWER QUESTIONS LOVE BROUGHT UP?

CAN WE ANSWER QUESTIONS LOVE BROUGHT UP?
YOUR EYES LOOK DRY, MAY I TOP YOUR GLASS UP.
HAVE A CRY, NO DON’T BE SHY,
THE TEARS MAY HOLD THE REASON WHY.
CAN WE ANSWER QUESTIONS LOVE BROUGHT UP?

In one ear
written by Neal Byrne

The needles on the record
And the black disc spins around
But every time it gets to this same point
I hear the sound
Of the needle jumping backwards
And I hear it all again
And it just keeps repeating, repeating, repeating

The same shit I have heard before
The same I’ll hear again
I’ve forgotten where the ending starts
Or the beginning has to end
So I’ll just play it over
And listen for that sound
Of the needle jumping backwards
And it goes round and round and round

Chorus
Would you be surprised if what you said to me
Goes in one ear and straight out the other (repeat x2)

So I listen to it over
I go back to the start
I hope it will be flawless
I hope with all my heart
And as the line approaches
I pray it won’t begin
I feel my body tensing up
Cause here we go again

I’ve heard it once I’ve heard it twice
I’ve heard it all before
But I just can’t shut the music out
I just can close the door
So I open up the sleeve once more
And place the record down
And the drop the needle in the groove
And wait for that same sound

C/
Would you be surprised if what you said to me
Goes straight in one ear and straight out the other (repeat x2)

First section of second verse.
Repeat Chorus (x3)

Moving On with Time
written by Neal Byrne

Confusion left at seven thirty,
Flew away upon a plane.
But Emptiness had arrived by eight,
To keep me company again.
Sadness smiled when I was Lonely
As the moon was shining bright;
Happiness arrived again,
As the sun shone its first light
The new day brought some Love in
And a Smile grew on my face
But Fear climbed up my shoulders
The Smile gone without a trace.

Chorus
I sat and stared for hours
I looked for answers in the wall
It just kept calling back to me
That you love this beautiful girl
The girl you’re pushing further
Further all the time
Don’t wait too long, it’ll all be gone
No regrets, were just moving on with time

Vengeance came along to say hello
But only stayed a while
Hatred hung around much longer
Cause Laughter’s not my style
Bitterness left a message,
But I couldn’t return the call
I was much too busy with Weakness
To bother dealing with it all
Suffering passed quickly
And disappeared into the night
Happiness arrived again
With the break of morning light

Chorus

I poured some sorrow on my cornflakes
Yeah! Tasted really great
And I washed it down with some Self Respect
Or was it something else I ate?
Because Joy came round for coffee
And Wonder came for Brunch
And Anger, Fear and Loneliness
Had all disappeared by Lunch
So I called Happiness and Lovingness
To come around again
And we all had a party
To try forget about the end.

Chorus

Made you so sad
written by Neal Byrne

Someone have a toast and raise a glass in my direction,
While I contemplate the reason’s I’ve been changing my reflection.
Someone say a word for me and I’ll listen without judging,
All the things that have come forth before from your particular person,
Someone have a talk with me don’t mention my behaviour,
Cause I’m feeling like a lunatic sent out to meet their maker.
Someone open up to me cause I think I’m good at sharing,
Then I’ll share with you the fact that I think this conversation is boring.

Pre Chorus
Do you hear with your heart wide open?
Do you feel with you fist tight shut?
Do you see with you lids closed tightly?
So you only see the world from the space behind your eyes.

Chorus
And you think so clearly,
And your heart stands so proud,
And you love so dearly,
All the things that once made you feel so Down.

Someone tell a joke and then laugh at my situation,
While I sit inside a corner trying to break this repetition.
Someone share a kiss with me, my lips a slowly dying.
From the lack of use I’ve given them, it’s not from want or trying.
Someone sit on top of me, I’m feeling kinda phallic,
Come and play a little while with me, yeah let’s create some static.
Someone share some love for me, don’t do it cause I’m asking,
Do it from the place inside your chest, where your poor heart lives.

Pre Chorus

Chorus

When you see the light, won’t you tell me?
To step outside of the dark,

Chorus x2

Butterflies
written by Neal Byrne

I had a little dream last night, all about you and me.
We were dancing in a club downtown with all the kings and queens.
I remember the Latina Heat it was burning into me.
As I looked into your shining eyes and you looked back at me.

Pre Chorus
And I don’t know if I dream my night away
But my dream was good
And I don’t know if you dream the same as me
But I wish you could

I had a little dream last night, all about you and me.
We were spinning round the dance floor, you were holding onto me.
I think I almost woke up when you put you hand in mine.
And I hope I dream this way again, time after time.

Pre Chorus

Chorus
You put butterflies in my belly
You put butterflies in my heart
You put butterflies in my belly
You put butterflies in my heart

I had a little dream last night, all about you and me.
I was falling into your heart and I was not scared to be.
I thought that I would wake up! It would all be just a dream.
And I opened up my eyes and I stood there paralyzed, when I saw the beauty here with me

Pre Chorus

Chorus

Inside my bed I’m sleeping
Part of me is weeping
Cause you’re not by my side
Was I really dreaming?
When I woke up screaming
With tears inside my eyes
For Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

You put butterflies in my belly
But Butterflies keep on keeping us apart.

Everytime
written by Neal Byrne

I’VE TRIED BEING GOOD
AND I’VE TRIED BEING BAD
AND I’VE TRIED TO NOT TRY THINKING
YOU’RE THE BEST I’VE EVER HAD
I’VE TRIED BEING DISTANT
AND I’VE TRIED BEING HERE
AND I’VE TRIED THINKING ABOUT YOU
BUT IT JUST MAKES ME FEEL QUEER

Pre Chorus
AND EVERYTIME I SEE YOU
YOU MAKE ME FEEL STRANGE
AND EVERYTIME I TOUCH YOU
YOU MAKE ME FEEL WEIRD
AND EVERYTIME I’M NEAR YOU
YOU MAKE ME FEEL GREAT
AND EVERYTIME WE’RE TALKING
YOU MAKE ME FEEL

Chorus
CAUSE I KNOW THAT I KNOW
THAT IT’S NEVER GONNA BE
AND I KNOW THAT I KNOW
THAT WE’LL NEVER JUST BE FREE
AND I THINK THAT I KNOW
THAT WHATEVER WE CAN FEEL
AND YOU THINK THAT I KNOW
THAT IT’LL NEVER JUST BE REAL

AND I’VE TRIED KEEPING QUIET
AND I’VE TRIED BEING LOUD
AND I’VE TRIED BEING JUST
ANOTHER FACE INSIDE THE CROWD
I’VE TRIED KEEPING SECRETS
AND I’VE TRIED TO KEEP IT ALL HERE
STILL EVERYTIME I SEE YOU
IT JUST MAKES ME FEEL QUEER

Pre Chorus

FRIENDS ON TV

written by neal byrne
WHY DO I HAVE TO BE DIFFERENT?
WHY CAN’T I BE ME?
I’VE SEEN ALL THE FACES
I’VE SEEN ALL THE SIDES OF THE STARS ON TV
I COULD BE DIFFERENT
AND YES I COULD FIT IN
I COULD COMPETE WITH MYSELF
AND YES I WOULD WIN
