Eternal Age of Innocence
GO SHINE BUTTERFLY
I don't want to be, the next best thing
I want to be the one to make you
Sing out loud, and shine through the crowd
I don't want to be, the next best thing
And I want to be the one who spreads your
Wings out wide
Go shine butterfly
You know that I love you, can you
Learn to love yourself
You know that I want you, don't you
I'll help you grow, forever let your colours show
I don't want to be, the next best thing
I want to be the one to make you
Sing out loud, and shine through the crowd
I don't want to be, the next best thing
And I want to be the one who spreads your
Wings out wide
Go shine butterfly
You know that need you, don't you
Need for something new
You know that I want to
Share your accolade, and never let your colours fade
I don't want to be, the next best thing
And I want to be the one, I want to be the one
Who makes you sing out loud, and shines through the crowd
I don't want to be, the next best thing
And I want to be the one
And I want to be the one
To help you spread your wings oh
So shine butterfly
​
Have your day out in the sun let warm air guide you
Take your chance and fly away......
Yeh....
I don't wanna be the next best thing
And I want to be the one, I want to be the one
To say the special things, and help you spread your wings
Go shine butterfly
I want to be the one, the one, one, to make you sing
I want to be the one, the one, one, to make you sing
Spread your wings yeh...
I don't wanna be the next best thing, I want you to
shine like the sun
'Cause I got your number, and that number's one
Spread your wings and shine butterfly
Never let those colours fade away, yeh......
I want to be the one, the one, one, to make you sing
Spread your wings go shine butterfly
I DON'T MIND THE RAIN
I don't care about your political anatomy
Your persuasion or even your biology
I gotta be blunt but by the look on your face your missing the point
Take my hand take this opportunity
Impunity of humanity's insanity. Don't wanna be a fool for society
You need to be brave 'cause you were never a slave
Reach out, take something more
Do you want to be in the first wave?
Does it sound insane? When I know we're just the same
Tell me something about you?
I don't mind the rain,
I can't tell you what to do, or what to say
I never wrote the book about morality, that wasn't me
Although I like the credit, I'm flattered that someone said it
I'm not so sure I read it
Let's take a stand. Take my hand. Let's do what we gotta do
And while we're here, let's rip the rule book up too
I ain't no lawmaker. How about an ice-breaker?
My favorite colour is blue. Now it's up to you
Does it sound insane? When I know we're just the same
Tell me something about you?
I don't mind the rain
Does it sound insane? When I know it's not the same
Tell me something about you?
I don't mind the rain,
Don't you hold your destiny in your hands?
Can you understand? Can you understand?
I don't mind the rain, rain , rain
Does it sound insane? When I know we're not to blame
I think you'll feel the same
I don't mind the rain,
Your lips are sealed, and if you want I can start?
Let's see what set the likes of me and you apart
We share the sunrise, the same sunset too
Are we the same? 'Cause I don't mind the rain
I...... I don't mind the rain
I don't mind the rain
We're just the same, me and you. Do you like the rain too?
Wheels turning. Worlds burning. We're learning, to look right through
We're just the same, me and you. Do you like... do you like the rain too?
Wheels turning. Worlds burning. We're learning, to look right through
We're just the same, me and you. Do you like... do you like the rain too?
Wheels turning. Worlds burning. We're learning to look right through
We're just the same, me and you. And I don't mind if you don't mind the rain too..
I don't mind if you don't mind the rain
I don't mind if you don't mind the rain
I don't mind if you don't mind the rain
I don't mind if you don't mind the rain
A LITTLE LONGER
Whether right or wrong. history is in the past
We were meant to last all eternity. just you and me
As Kings will rise and fall, honesty will be the saviour of us all
or so they say....
I can't tell you all my secrets. Maybe just a little one
But keep it a little longer
And I can't tell you all my secrets. Maybe just a little one
But keep it a little longer
(A little longer)
You're delicious. But equally suspicious of me being surreptitious
You're running with the rumours from your gossip girls
Don't you tell me that it's over and in your next breath
Saying words like “I Love You”
Then quoting Full Disclosure
I can't tell you all my secrets. Maybe just a little one
But keep it a little longer (A little longer)
And I can't tell you all my secrets. Maybe just a little one
But keep it a little longer
(A little longer)
A little longer........
Just a little longer
Maybe you can change my mind? Oh let's see
And I, I can't tell you all my secrets, yeh.....
I can't tell you all my secrets. Maybe just a little one
But keep it a little longer (A little longer)
La....Whoa.....
Maybe just a little one
But keep it a little longer, wont you keep it a...
(Little longer)
ETERNAL AGE OF INNOCENCE
​
Everlasting, never ending
Life eternal age of innocence, gone too soon
The touch of your mother calms your soul
And your father brings the love to make you whole again
Treasure the moment, let the moment last forever
When It's gone, did it ever happen?
Was that moment ever done?
Not a care in the world
And that was many years ago
Everlasting, never ending
Life eternal age of innocence, gone too soon
​
The taste of the summer, it lingers on
And the smell of the sea, it brings me home
Treasure the moment, let the moment last forever
Never truly gone, if you still remember
Treat every moment, like it was your last
Not a care in the world
And I'm sure the sun was warmer
And I'm sure it was warmer on my face
Not a care in the world. And that was many years ago
​
Everlasting, never ending
Life eternal age of innocence
It's gone too soon. It's gone too soon
Everlasting, never ending
Life eternal age of innocence
Gone too soon.
Not a care in the world
And I'm sure the sun was warmer oh...
GET IN LINE
And if you've come to hurt me, why do it all the time?
Come to hurt me? Get in line oh..
Empty promises of something new
The bitter taste of deja-vu
You build me. You thrill me
And I'll give my world to you
And if you've come to hurt me, why do it all the time?
You've come to hurt me, get in line, oh.
Was it him I saw you with? Is love to take and not to give?
Am I the joke time after time? I seem to be the punchline
You build me, you thrill me
And I'll give my world. But to you kill me
And if you've come to hurt me, why do it?
Why do it all the time? No..
It's time to hurt me. Get in line.
You ask me the same thing most every day.
Doesn't matter what I say
You see what you wanna see, It seems you're happier that way
Truth is, we've fallen. Your friends, they're calling me to blame
And that's not helpful in any kinda way
Deep down we're changing
If its not me, its you. If its not you then who?
You see I got girlfriends too
It feels like it's choking
It feels like something's broken
But the undeniable truth is - I still love you
You've come to hurt me. Why do it all of the time? No...
You've come to hurt me
Don't you know it? (Don't you know it?)
Get in line (Get in line) yeh......
You build me, and thrill me
I'll give my world to you. What do you do?
And if you've come to hurt me
Get in line. Get in line
BETTER THINGS TO DO TONIGHT
Change your mind, every time. Sell your soul, lose control
You wear me out truly I'm down, down, down on love
State your claim, expect the same. Play the game and hide the blame
You wear me out truly I'm down, down, down on love
You've got a hold on us. You've got a hold on us
And if it doesn't treat you right, you can bet we're gonna fight
And I got better things to do tonight
Let me hear ya... Let me hear ya play
'cause I'm talking to ya
Better things. Better things
You've got a hold on us. You've got a hold on us
And if it doesn't treat you right, you can bet we're gonna fight
I got better things to do tonight
You sing the song most every night. You sing it wrong but say it's right
You wear me out truly I'm down, down, down on love
Take your time, you make me run. Twice the work and half the fun
Down, down, down on love (Down down down on love)
You've got a hold on us. You've got a hold on us
You've got a hold on us. You've got a hold....
(You've got a hold on us.) You've got a hold on us
And if it doesn't treat you right, you can bet we're gonna fight
Better things to do, and I don't wanna fight with you tonight.....
Better things to do with my life oh yeh
I don't want to fight. Least not tonight
When you change your mind, every time. Sell your soul, lose control
You wear me out truly I'm down, down, down on love
When you state your claim, expect the same. Play the game and hide the blame
You wear me out truly I'm down, down, down on love
You've got a hold on us. You've got a hold on us
You've got a hold on us. You've got a hold on us

And if it doesn't treat you right, you can bet we're gonna fight
And I got better things to do, better things to do tonight
TAKE ME AWAY WITH THE WIND
Take me away with the wind. Held down by the weight of my sins
A boy bears a gun, to take a man's dream
Haunted by visions should never have seen
Countless legacies written on a postcard
My dreams, my hopes and fears. In twenty words or less
It's been said before. Nothing original
The power's in the pen. The power's in the pen, not the gun
I hope you don't blame me, or indeed feel ashamed of me
I'm here for you, or that's what they say
But I hold my hands and I pray
Take me away with the wind. Held down by the weight of my sins
A boy bears a gun, to take a man's dream
Haunted by visions should never have seen
Win or lose, it's on us. As I take in the view I'm helpless
Oh it's beautiful at this time of year
It's been said before. Nothing original
Though not born out of fear, tell me why am I here
Oh, I hope you don't blame me. Or indeed feel ashamed of me
I'm here for you. I'm here for you that's how it goes la la
But everyone knows la la
Take me away with the wind. Held down by the weight of my sins
A boy bears a gun, to take a man's dream
Haunted by visions should never have seen
Won't you take me away with the wind. Held down by the weight of my sins
A boy bears a gun, to take a man's dream
Haunted by visions should never have seen...whoa....
Won't you take me away with the wind. Held down by the weight of my sins
A boy bears a gun, to take a man's dream
Haunted by visions should never have seen
Oh I'm not alone, I've brothers in Somme
My story ends here but the river goes on
Let me speak freely, won't you let me be bold
I'll never grow hungry and I'll never grow old
O'er the mountain, o'er valley, o'er sea
A never forsaken life on the breeze
