The Cat & The Fiddle 03:23
lyrics

V1 Well don’t tell me it’s the same Because if you leave then you’re to blaim And if I see you on the street Dressed like little Miss Bo Peep I won’t run up to your side I’ll crawl behind the wall and hide So if I see you on the run I’ll be waiting with Tom Thumb V2 I can see you on the hill I am Jack and you are Jill You have found your safe way out So don’t get scolded in your doubt You have left me in this riddle Our private game of the Cat & Fiddle So if there’s something I should know I will meet you at the show Ch I thought you wore a crown But now that you have let me down I know that I can’t stay Because I won’t love you all the same V3 If you walk then that’s alright I’ll go and chase the Three Blind Mice Because like all things it was rigged to shatter Like the Crazy Hair and the Mad Hatter If you ever need to talk
I’ll be running up Jack’s stalk And when it’s time to prove you’re right I’ll be running out to fight Ch I thought you wore a crown But now that you have let me down I know that I can’t stay Because I won’t love you all the same

Hopscotch 03:19
lyrics

V1 We’re playing hopscotch in the rain, We’re waving at the distant trains, We’re picking daisies in the park, We’re playing chasy in the dark V2 We’re finding starfish in the sea, We’re collecting shells along the beach, We’re writing letters in the sand, We’re building castles with our hands Ch We are still young, We don’t have to let the future come, We are so young, We don’t have to chase the setting sun V3 We’re mixing crystals in the light, We’re making patterns in the sky, We building lovers out of clay, We’re chasing cats into the fray Ch We are still young, We don’t have to let the future come, We are so young, We don’t have to chase the setting sun

Saved By The Bellé 03:42
lyrics
buy track
V1 I was hung out to dry Tied by my ankles and lifting up so high My creams were gone with the wind Counting clouds I knew that I could never win I was left there to die Left hanging high and dry and I knew it Ch But I was saved by the bellé The girl from the war said she would never tell And I was saved by the bellé As one ship sinks another sets sail V2 I was thrown from the tracks Bashed and bruised I knew that I could not get back I was fed to the wolves Torn apart I knew I’d played by the rules I was left there to cry Reading signs in the sky and I knew it Ch But I was saved by the bellé The girl from the war said she would never tell And I was saved by the bellé As one ship sinks another sets sail Br I fought the fool and I lost it I saw the line and I crossed it I broke the chains and I blew it Nothing to gain and I knew it Ch But I was saved by the bellé The girl from the war said she would never tell And I was saved by the bellé As one ship sinks another sets sail

Peppercorn Trees 04:25
lyrics

V1 The days have past but do you still remember my name You set your sails home but if you’re still the same Then I will break all of the rules that I knew And I will run away but I will bring you too V2 If you’re on the run across the seven seas Then we can go and hide beneath the peppercorn trees If all the pebbles we find have already been turned Then we can chase our tails because the lessons learned Ch I know I need to be wrapped up in you We can believe all of the fairy tails are true With all the memories and the words we wrote We can forget all that we know V3 If we’re caught and all the city lights go out We can chase the stars and forget all our doubts And if we wind up lost on the side of the road We can cut our ties and set up our home Ch I know I need to be wrapped up in you We can believe all of the fairy tails are true With all the memories and the words we wrote We can forget all that we know V4 The days have past but do you still remember my name

Little Dreams 03:50
lyrics
buy track
V1 We were all born with little dreams Now the colours seem to change as we sew these little seams I know that we have missed the bus But we won’t let it get us down because we’ll never make a fuss We were all born with little hopes Then we watch them turn to gold when it’t time to learn the ropes I was told once that ‘one and one make two’ But now I know the truth girl one and one made you Ch I don’t need you to tell me Because I know that I will miss you when you are gone And can you tell me that you’ll write home Because I know you’ve been my little dream all along V2 We were all born with little hearts Then we watch them race away as they kick off from the start I know we have told the truth But the cracks we made are there somewhere hiding in the proof Ch I don’t need you to tell me Because I know that I will miss you when you are gone And can you tell me that you’ll write home Because I know you’ve been my little dream all along
