Teach Me The Song You Know 02:38
lyrics
You’re so in key, got a way with a melody Sweet as a summer song And how it sings, calling to brighter things I’d love to hum along You got another view, I wanna see it too Got me wondering where you first got this groove I can’t wait to learn how it goes Gonna be going round in my head oh I know Every night and day after day I want to hear it grow Teach me the song you know You got another view I think I could learn from you Got me wondering where you first learned these moves I can’t wait to learn how it goes Gonna be going round in my head oh I know Every night and day after day I want to hear it grow Teach me the song you know I can’t wait to learn how it goes Gonna be going round in my head oh I know Every day and all through my life I hope you will hear it flow Teach me the song you know.

Year From Now 03:21
lyrics
Where do you see yourself a year from now? Are you good with love and what it might allow? Don’t say you’d simply shuffle through somehow Where will you be another year from now? Tell me a little bit about yourself Are you the one to help me off this shelf? This project needs someone to keep the lonely times at bay If I asked your colleagues all about you, what would they say? Can you describe the work you’re proudest of, and why Was it so great? Where do you see yourself a year from now? Are you good with love and what it might allow? Don’t say you’d simply shuffle through somehow Where will you be another year from now? We run a tight ship here as you can see What skills can you bring to my company? Don’t say your only weakness is you’re too perfectionist We’ve got to be a team and I’m no fantasist Can you describe how you’d work with this love, go on Make my day Where do you see yourself a year from now? Are you good with love and what it might allow? Don’t say you’d simply shuffle through somehow Where will you be another year from now? Well this could be so great Won’t you talk to your people, I’ll liaise with mine ‘Cos this could take some work Yes it may need a real commitment of time And tell me have you got any questions for me on your mind? Better think it over now before we sign Where do you see yourself a year from now? Are you good with love and what it might allow? Don’t say you’d simply shuffle through somehow Where will you be another year from now? Where do you see yourself a year from now? Will we take our best shot and hear the world go wow? Don’t let me sit here trying not to drown Where will we be a double year from now? I’m really hoping the answer doesn’t let me down Where will we be another year from now?

Town In A Million 04:36
lyrics
I don’t know why I seem to have much to say to you When we’ve just both been rivals for my dream interview You’re the strong and silent type, huh? Let me see There’s a tube strike and a long walk back And I’d love someone with me And by Queen’s Walk the river it’s such a pretty blue First thing this morning Mum told me that I look pretty too Yes I’m new but I’d know that bridge any day Oh I’m sorry, I just think out loud But you’re listening anyway We’re both so young But you know this place so well When you’re smiling I can tell You’re a man in a billion Me, I feel my eyes are opening up You’re helping me to fall in love With a town in a million 
I’ve been round here a little, I’ll try not to get us lost You got me feeling gallant, I reckon we should cross You’d love Covent Garden, I’ll show you Chinatown ‘Cause it means that, we could talk some more And the day could hang around ‘Cause we’re so young But you know this world so well When you’re smiling I can tell You’re a girl in a billion Me, I think my mind is opening up I think you’ve made me fall in love With a town in a million Past old Savoy, the station, the bright lights in the square I recognise the way now, I think your stop’s up there When we share goodbye there’s sparkles in my soul You take nothing, but a deep respect I wanna know you ’til we’re old but We’re still so young And you know my heart so well You’ve been kind and I can tell You’re a friend in a billion Me, I know my world has opened up Thank you for showing me a love For a town in a million

A Home 03:10
lyrics
The house is a shell Took the last of the boxes today Oh, just as well It’s so old, unappealing and grey All the carpet is worn, the kitchen’s too small The paper divorced itself from the wall long ago No this isn’t what we’ve called home Movies every week Endless games of hide and seek And your laugh reminding me I’ve never been alone That won’t cease to be I can take along with me Every reason we’ve been calling this place a home The house is all done! Give the keys to the agents I guess You could call it well-loved Call it a quite uninspiring address There’s a door with the handle, coming apart A sensible buyer would probably pass it by But it’s made of much more than stone Sunday afternoon Playing spacemen on the moon Every song we used to croon to and the ways we’ve grown That won’t cease to be I can take along with me Every thing that we’ve been filling this place with Laughter and the tears Autumn candles, summer beers Filling up the tree with tinsel, stealing Dad’s cologne In my memory I will bring along with me Every reason we’ve been calling this place a home So many reasons we’ve been calling this place a home
