We Had This Summer

By Blynds on

We had this summer
With each other
We let the temperature rise
Saw it in our eyes
It’s the end of summer
We have said our goodbyes

Walked arm in arm on the promenade
Bought cheap beers and cigarettes
Watched the volleyball under street lights
Talked about life and what we’d do next
Took a trip to Monte Carlo
Where the rich percent play roulette
We had this summer with each other
How could we forget

The sea is cool
When we dive in
It’s rising fast
Too hot to sin
We’ll do our best
To keep our love
We had this summer
With each other

Let Love Rise

By Blynds on

You think you got it all worked out
You never really had a doubt
Now all you do is scream and shout
Let the words fall from your mouth
I deserve more than this
Let me be the one you kiss
Just a moment of pure bliss
C’mon you know it’s worth the risk
So take me to the end of the line
Leave me hanging on I’ll be just fine
Don’t you know how to read the signs
All night long is a long long time
In the morning let the sunlight in
Last night was how we begin
If we’re together it’s not a sin
Just pure pleasure skin on skin
So let love rise
Let the sunlight hit your skin
So let love rise
Feel the heat
Feel the heat

Automatic For The People

By Blynds on

We don’t know what we want
We don’t know where we’re going to
We are on a road
Nowhere is somewhere
To people like us

You are so afraid
Of the fear inside of you
Lie on the bed you’ve made
Nowhere is somewhere
To someone like you

We used to speak without thinking
We used act without blinking
We used to sing when we were drinking
Now we’re just automatic
We’re automatic for the people

Shallow Man

By Blynds on

I twisted your arm
Turned your head
Persuaded you
Got into your bed
Now I’m out the door
Like a bullet released
Took what I wanted
Left you on your knees

I’m a shallow man
I like to live this way
Don’t get too close
Won’t give my heart away

I saw your photo
The words you wrote
I knew I wanted you
No fire without smoke
So come to me
Our lives are free
We’ve got tonight
Digitally

On The Corner

By Blynds on

Old town
Old street
Old wall
On the corner where we used to meet
You and me out on our feet
We’ve been dancing
Now we’re just talking
On the corner where we used to meet
I want you and you want me
For a while things were easy

There’s another girl
In my heart
And you got me too
Right at the start
So what do I do
If I’m seeing double
My words are true
They could get me in trouble

I didn’t break your heart
You didn’t shatter mine
We just drifted apart
Can’t forget our time
You and me out on our feet
We’ve been dancing
Now we’re just talking
On the corner where we used to meet

Summer Love Forever

By Blynds on

You can feel the heat rising
A dry taste in the air
Shimmers on the horizon
Feels like swimmers everywhere
Meet youI at the White Rock
Waves are crashing high today
Dive under if we dare
These are the days you dream of
You and me together
There’s no stormy weather
Summer Love forever

I write your name on the White Rock wall
I heart you and you heart me
Summer love forever
Summer love forever

Got the beatbox on
Playing all our songs
Our friends are coming
They won’t be long
We’ll light a fire
Watch the sun go red
Drink a latte
Then home for zeds
Until tomorrow comes around
The sun is calling us again
Feel the heat rise from the ground
Meet me at the White Rock then
You’ve got to go away tonight
So one last fire in falling light
September falls down on us all
Summer love forever
On the White Rock wall

Everyone Knows

By Blynds on

Footsteps echo on the street below
Girls talking but they don’t know
You and me are living free
Taking things oh so easily
We don’t wanna hear
What the corner girls say
About the two of us
We won’t last a day
Spiteful words won’t cut us down
Jealousy is just a cheap thrill
So spread the message all over town
Write it on the bill boards don’t take them down

Call the TV stations
And the radio shows
From the pulpits of your church
Until everyone knows
Tell your sister and your brother
All your family
Call the fire brigade
Police and the army
We’re going nowhere
We’re staying free
We’re lovers forever
It’s just you and me

The Simple Things

By Blynds on

The simple things make me smile
Your fingertips can make me cry
A beating heart tells no lies
When we’re together stopping time
I wish a whisper was our skin
We could fly out on the wind
Caress and love in all things
Forget about these mortal sins

And god smiled on me
God smiled on me

There will always be rain
To wash the sleep from your eyes
Even rain falls
When there is bright sunshine
I’ve learned and I know
We’ve got to cry sometimes

I want a snapshot of our time
Lightning lakes and star shine
I want your eyes you have mine
We can see our dreams inside
It’s the simple things that make me smile
A teardrop brushed from an eye
Our beating hearts tell no lies
We’re together stopping time

Keep On Running

By Blynds on

He’s a man of note
Wears a long black cloak
Carries a silver scythe
His work must be done
Comes on horseback
Through storm clouds and rain
You won’t see him arrive
You can’t hide and you can’t run

You can’t keep on running
You can’t keep on running

He’ll find you somehow
There’s a date in his diary
There’s sweat on on your brow
That time could be now

You Don’t Know My Name

By Blynds on

You don’t know my name
You see it lit in lights
You don’t know my name
You reading me my rights

What have I done
I’m on the run
And I don’t know
What am I running from

True I’ve bent the rules
Everybody’s done it once or twice
The president the politician
The priest and his wife
Look at me
I’m the one losing face
I’ve been accused
Now I’m disgraced
All because
You don’t know me
All because
You don’t recognise my face

I’ve been here a million years
You still don’t know my name
