From The Invisible Band (2001) by Travis

Sing (Healy) - 3:48

Baby you've been going so crazy
Lately nothing seems to be going right
Solo
Why do you have to get so low?
You're so...
You've been waiting in the sun too long

If you sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
Unless you sing

Colder
Crying over your shoulder
Hold her
Tell her everything's gonna be fine
Surely you've been going too early
Hurry
Cos no one's gonna be stopped

Chorus

Baby there's something going on today I say...
Nothing, nothing

Chorus

Dear Diary (Healy) - 2:57

Dear diary
What is wrong with me
Cos I'm fine between the lines
Be not afraid
Help is on its way
A sentence suspended in air
Way over there

Dear diary
What else could it be
As nightshade descends like a veil
Under the sail of my heart
Be still
Don't stop until the end

Dear diary
What is wrong with me?
Cos I'm fine between the lines
Be still, my heart
Don't start until...

Side (Healy) - 3:59

Well I believe there's someone watching over you
They're watching every single thing you say
And when you die they'll sit you down and take you through
You'll realise one day

That the grass is always greener on the other side
The neighbour's got a new car that you want to drive
And the time is running out
You wanna stay alive
We all live under the same sky
We all will live we all will die
There is no wrong there is no right
The circle only has one side

We all try to live our lives in harmony
For fear of falling swiftly overboard
But life is both a major and a minor key
Just open up the chord

Chorus

Pipe Dreams (Healy) - 4:05

I read it all, every word
But I still don't understand a thing
What had you heard?
What had you heard was it love
Was it take another walk in the dark
You never learn

I'd pray to God if there was heaven
But heaven seems so very far from here
And it all boils down to the same old thing
Just the yin and yang or a couple of pipe dreams
And it all boils down to the same old pain
Whether you win or you lose isn't going to change a single thing

I stood in line and a thought crossed my mind
I could been dreaming
I didn't mind
I signed the line
And the woman looked right through me
She didn't smile

I'd pray to God if there was heaven
But heaven seems so very far from here
And it all boils down to the same old thing
Just the yin and yang or a couple of pipe dreams
And it all boils down to the same old pain
Whether you win or you lose isn't going to change a single thing
Just a yin and yang or a couple of pints please
Just a link in a chain, just a puppet on a string

Flowers in the Window (Healy) - 3:41

When I first held you I was cold
A melting snowman I was told
That there was no one there to hold
Before, I swore, that I would be alone forever more

Oh, wow, look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day and I'm glad you feel the same
Cos to stand up, out in the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so
Let's watch the flowers grow

There is no reason to feel bad
But there are many seasons to feel glad, sad, mad
It's just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold
And I am here to help you with the load

So now we're here and now is fine
So far away from there and there is time, time, time
To plant new seeds and watch them grow
So there'll be flowers in the window when we go

The Cage (Healy) - 3:05

You broke the bread
We drank the wine
Your lip was bleeding but it was fine
Come on inside, babe, across the line
I love you more than I...

But then this bird just flew away
She was never meant to stay
Oh to keep her caged
Would just delay the spring

You broke your word
Now there's a lie
We had a deal that you would try
Come on inside girl, I think it's time
High time you drew the line

But then this bird just flew away
While I looked the other way
Oh to keep her caged
Would just delay the spring

You broke my soul, dear
You stole the plot
You left an empty shot
But there's nothing left here
Cos you took the lot
An empty cage is all I've got

Safe (Healy) - 4:23

Take all the goods from all the bads
And tell the people that you've gone away
Now lift your head up to the sky
Now you can tell apart the black from the white
We waste the time they treasured dear
My only thought is that they could be right
Oh look there goes another year
About as distant as a satellite

And I feel safe, so safe
And I feel safe, so safe
And I feel safe, so safe
So safe

The world's a small child in the dark
My mind's the same place as it's always been
The monsters seem to fade so fast
Upon the waking of another dream

And I feel safe, so safe
And I feel safe, so safe
And I feel safe, feel so brave
I'm not afraid of anything they've got to say
And you're okay
Because you're tucked away
Don't go astray you've got to be just who you are

When I was young things didn't last
My only care stemmed to the price of sweets
Now I am older, I can laugh
A dolly mixed-up man with rotten teeth

Chorus

Follow the Light (Healy) - 3:08

Nobody really knows where they're supposed to go
Hiding behind the wall
Afraid that they'll lose it all

But it's alright, just follow the light
And don't be afraid of the dark
In the moonlight, you'll dance till you fall
And always be here in my heart

But nobody wants to know cos nobody even cares
Everyone's on the make
And everyone's out for themselves
Me, I'm on the longest road where everything's overload
But I've got my heart and soul
So don't throw me overboard

Chorus

Last Train (Healy) - 3:16

Rain on the brain
Now there's flowers in your window
She, oh, she's so strange
I don't know anything about her
If it's all the same to you
Here's what I'm going to do
I'm going to write a song
And I'm going to sing it to everyone
And then I'll sing it to you
Cos it was you that wrote it too
This could be the last train

Search within yourself
For feelings, everybody's got them
You left me on the shelf
Now there's no one to rely on
If it's all the same to you
Here's what I'm going to do
I'm going to buy a gun
And I'm going to shoot everything, everyone
And then I'm coming for you
Cos it was you that drove me too
This could be the last train

Rear window, with the room
In her hair and on her jacket
There's a picture in white of Che Guevara
As he sits beneath the tree
That's not important
But he looked a bit like me
If you took all the little feelings in your heart
And took all those little feelings all apart
Oh now what's the point in doing all of that?

Afterglow (Healy) - 4:05

Feeling myself all of the time
All of the time feeling just right
Taking a while, raising a smile
Raising a smile makes it all worthwhile

But if you wanted to find peace of mind
Then you could find it anytime you like
But you are the afterglow

Feeling my way all of the time
All of the time doing just fine
Taking a page out of my life
Out of my life, wouldn't it be nice

But if you wanted to find peace of mind
Then you could it anytime you like
But you are the afterglow
You are the midnight show
The only one I know
You come and then you go
And when you finally leave
You leave nothing for me

Indefinitely (Healy) - 3:52

Everyday in every way I'm falling
Everything that everyone says turns me on/off
Shine a light on me
So that everyone can see
That I want to stay here
Indefinitely

Time exists but just on your wrists
So don't panic
Moments last and lifetimes are lost in a day
So wind your watches down, please
Cos there is no time to lose
And I'm going to stay here
Indefinitely
And I'm going to stay here
Indefinitely
And I want to stay here
So just let me be

Now I can see the light
Circling around your reflection
And I'm going to stay here
Indefinitely
And I'm going to stay here
So just let me be
Indefinitely

The Humpty Dumpty Love Song (Healy) - 15:00

All of the king's horses
And all of the kings men
Couldn't put my heart back together again
All of the physicians and mathematicians too
Failed to stop my heart from breaking in two

Cos all I need is you
I just need you
Yeah, you got the glue
So I'm going to give my heart to you

I had a premonition
A movie in my mind
Confirming my suspicions about what I would fine
You followed me to LA, down to Mexico
Came in through the back door
At the start of the show

Chorus

Oh was a perfect day
Oh in a perfect way
You know, something had to go
You left me high, you left me low
Now as I lie in pieces, await for your return
The sun upon my forehead
It burns, baby, burns, baby, burns
An eye on all my horses
You slept with all my men
I'm never going to get it together again
