Roots 03:03
lyrics

Just you wait till the sun goes down On your back till we leave this town Racing out breaking out this living Second hand like the dreams we're given We've been dreaming a long long time We've been scheming and scheming blind We've been dreaming a long long time We can't wait to go Till we come crawling back Didn't know who we were Didn't know what we had And the simplest of things Tell us all that we know Remember your roots as you grow Remember your roots as you grow Stars don't shine in the city skyline Tangled strings kept our songs in time Breaking out see the lights they're fading The stars are out and you're still complaining We've been dreaming a long long time We've been scheming and scheming blind We've been dreaming a long long time We can't wait to go Till we come crawling back Didn't know who we were Didn't know what we had And the simplest of things Tell us all that we know Remember your roots as you grow Remember your roots as you grow Remember your roots as you grow We've been dreaming a long long time We've been scheming and scheming blind We've been dreaming a long long time Can't wait to go Till we come crawling back Didn't know who we were Didn't know what we had And the simplest of things Tell us all that we know Remember your roots as you grow Remember your roots as you grow Remember your roots as you grow

The great game 03:10
lyrics
buy track
Through the Bolan Pass Onto victory That's what they told my brothers What they said to me We must protect our lands The ones we took before The gold leads back to England Oh it's flowing to our shores We're fighting for the crown We're fighting for their lives We're dying for the empire And a dream we won't survive We marched in '39 We marched through Kandahar We soon made it to Kabul We bought our way this far Survived every battle But it's arrogance that kills Fleeing to the border Running for the hills We're fighting for the crown We're fighting for their lives We're dying for the empire And a dream we won't survive Sir William in his wisdom He marched us on our way The massacre was coming And on that fateful day Some say we had it coming Slaughtered in our shame Thousands dead we bow our head Our part in this great game We're fighting for the crown We're fighting for their lives We're dying for the empire And a dream we won't survive We're fighting for the crown We're fighting for our lives We're fighting for the crown We're fighting for their pride

Bottom of the barrel 03:30
lyrics
buy track
Searching for answers At the bottom of a barrel again Peel off the night time And walk through the morning regret We'll never wonder why We did it this time Just the same The suns out The rains out A good or a bad day's To blame And we fall And we crawl But not far enough We see But don't bleed Bleed enough And i will give it again Till there's nothing that I have left And i will give it again Till there's nothing that I have left Till there's nothing that I have left Till there's nothing that I have left Dusting off cobwebs And blinded by sunlight Ahead Race to the bottom There's always a worse one We said We'll look back and think Our cards were marked Just to say Excuses and ruses We tell ourselves there's Just no way And we fall And we crawl But not long enough We see But don't bleed Bleed enough And i will give it again Till there's nothing that I have left And i will give it again Till there's nothing that I have left Till there's nothing that I have left Till there's nothing that I have left
