1. Never Land

   Come morning I'll be gone
   Back to the land where dreams and Tinkerbell were born
   Past the clock tower second star to the right
   And we'll fly straight ahead onto morning

   Never Never Land
   Never Never Land

   Dreams were dashed so quickly and the lost boys were sold
   For the trinkets and the beads that adults hold
   You left your window open for Peter Pan to fly back
   But the curtains of your childhood were closed

   Never Never Land Never Never Land

   Because lost boys are like lost souls
   They try to act tough yet cry when they fall
   Lost boys are like lost souls
   We all miss our mums in

   Never Never Land
   Never Never Land
   Never Never Land
   Never Never Land

2. Huckleberry Finn

   You are a man yet they call you boy
   We're travellers travel down the river

   You are a boy yet they call you sir
   We're travelling in our darkened night disguise

   We're best of friends the future is unwritten
   Ships passing by like paper tigers in the night

   And they say that we're not friends
   And they tell us we're too different
   But when I fell you carried me
   You cried and they took you away
   Said you had murdered me

   Into the fray freedom don't come easy
   Night turns to day burns my back like lashes bleed

   I feel your hands holding me so gently
   Lifting me up high above the water line

   And they say that we're not friends
   And they tell us we're too different
   But when I fell you carried me
   And they couldn't tell the difference between us in the dark
   Couldn't tell the difference

   And they say that we're not friends
   And they tell us we're too different
   But when I fell you carried me
   You cried and they locked you away
   Said you had murdered me

   And what was it you always said
   It's such a shame we must pretend this way
   And Lord knows the sun will shine
   On these tired paths we've travelled down

3. Little Fish

   Lonely people stand in a line outside your door
   Hold onto their little worlds
   Little fish flourish in the world between their legs
   Suspended by their stomachs

   Bye bye my little fish swim away into the night
   Join the stars and touch the sky

   Scared girls stand in a line outside your door
   Offering you their bodies
   Take away this shame that's attached its life to me
   Crawled up in the night

   Bye bye my little fish swim away into the night
   Join the stars and touch the sky

   Bye bye my little fish swim away into the night
   Join the stars and kiss the sky

   Kiss the sky kiss the sky kiss the sky
   Oh kiss the sky

   And we say
   Bye bye my little fish swim away into the night
   Join the stars and kiss the sky

4. Grey

   Give me your hand tell me how you feel
   I am not so cold I am not so cold
   Paint your canvas grey
   Grey like the clouds that hang over our heads
   Will hang over our headstones too too

   'Cos if this was right man the world wouldn't stop us
   If it was right it wouldn't feel so wrong
   Wouldn't feel so wrong
   If it was cool four horsemen couldn't stop us
   If it was cool it wouldn't feel so wrong
   Wouldn't feel so wrong

   So give me your hand tell me how you feel
   I am not so cold I am not so cold I am not so cold
   Paint your canvas grey
   Grey like the clouds that hang over our heads
   Will hang over our headstones too

   'Cos if this was right man the world wouldn't stop us
   if it was right it wouldn't feel so wrong
   Wouldn't feel so wrong
   If it was good the seven plagues couldn't stop us
   If it was good it wouldn't feel so wrong
   Wouldn't feel so wrong

   Cause I know your feeling scared
   But all leaps feel this way

   Cause man your right

   It wouldn't feel wrong
   Wouldn't feel so wrong
   It wouldn't feel so wrong
   Wouldn't feel so wrong

5. Teddy's Song

   There's a path that I take when I'm going home
   My teddy always walks it with his paw in my own
   It's a skip and a hop and a jump across the river
   Where the currents play leapfrog with the shore

   My teddy always wants to stop along the way
   He's always saying that I walk too fast
   So we sit along the shoreline dreaming our dreams
   As our friends play music in the waves

   He says life's too short to work away
   He hopes I never grow old and work every day
   He says some kids my age have thrown their teddies away
   I say Teddy you're my teddy to stay

   Better put your best foot forward
   Best you be my comrade in arms

   There's a road that I drive when I'm going home
   With Teddy in the front seat I don't feel so alone
   I say Teddy you're my teddy wherever you are is my home
   You and I are finally sailing away

   On those friendly waves where the fairies play
   Where all of our friends are going to some day
   There'll never be a reason for us to be afraid
   With a ship and my first mate at the helm

   Better put your best foot forward
   Best you be my comrade in arms
   Arms oh...

6. Battle

   Don't speak I already know what you're saying
   You're leaving me
   Out here in the middle of it
   And I know we all have our own journey
   And sometimes we only meet briefly

   Trees push they push down on me
   Like gods forcing me aside
   Pulling my strings and forcing me into battle

   I know I can't win but I will fight for you
   You will bear no wounds
   We won't bear together

   So don't cry it's only a brief parting
   We need this to make our own way and grow
   Learn to fight our own fears alone

   'Cos I know I can't win but I will fight for you
   You will bear no wounds we won't bare together
   I know I can't win but I'll never give up on you
   You will feel no pain we won't bear together

7. Dorothy

   Don't be afraid we're going far far far from here
   Click those ruby red's click them together and fly away

   Fly away Dorothy fly away yeah Dorothy
   Is it too late now what about Tin Man's heart
   Dorothy is it too late now what about Tin Man's heart

   'Cos home is very far past the trees and the poppy fields
   But you are very brave you just haven't realised yet

   So fly away oh Dorothy fly away Dorothy
   Is it too late now what about Tin Man's heart
   Dorothy is it too late now what about Tin Man's heart

   So fly away yeah Dorothy fly away yeah Dorothy
   Is it too late now what about Tin Man's heart
   Dorothy is it too late now what about Tin Man's heart

   Yeah

8. Don't Fly Too Long

   Wake up the rainy days are passing
   So release your balloons and let them fly away

   Fly away like paper aeroplanes
   That crumple so easily and wither if we fly too long
   No don't fly too long

   Shake with the wind and the strain and the pressure
   That comes from above
   To weigh us down and make us heavy
   Like the wind howling and our own perspiration

   So no don't fly too long
   The wax melts on our wings
   'Til we feel our bodies falling to the angry sea

   So no don't fly too long don't fly too long

   Don't fly too long... don't fly too long... don't fly too long
   Don't fly too long... don't fly too long... don't fly too long
   Don't fly too long... don't fly too long... don't fly too long
   Don't fly too long... don't fly too long... don't fly too long

9. Fragile Red

   I've been holding you
   I've been holding you
   Fragile fragile red

   I've been loving loving you
   I've been loving you
   Fragile fragile red

   Ah yeah

   I've been watching you
   I've been watching you
   Fragile fragile red

10. Maybe This Is Love

    When I'm feeling lonely
    I think of you and I feel better
    When I'm feeling sad
    I think of you and I know what to do

    Maybe this is love
    

    Maybe this is love
    

    Maybe this is love

    When my plans go crashing
    

    I think of you and I feel better
    

    When my life ain't working
    

    I think of you and I know what to do

    Yeah

    Maybe this is love
    Maybe this is love
    Maybe this is love yeah
    Maybe this is love
    Maybe this love
    Maybe this is love
    Maybe
