Ben Watt – Balanced on a Wire Lyrics

Ben Watt – Balanced on a Wire Lyrics Nineteen years old Life in front of you Everything on hold Feels like you’re balanced on a wire Do you risk it all right here? You have a fear of being discarded But the unguarded are the ones They say, “Find love” People say, “Live in the moment” But the moment seems so narrow sometimes People say, “Live in the moment” But the moment looms so large sometimes You’ve been hurt before, but who hasn’t? You feel insecure, but who doesn’t? It’s all or nothing now How do you decide? You’re overstrung and expectant You feel strong You feel new What should you? Open up and to yourself be true People say, “Live in the moment” But the moment seems so narrow sometimes People say, “Live in the moment” But the moment looms so large sometimes What do you do What do you say When yourself is in the way? What do you say What do you do When in the foreground it’s just you, you, you? Only you You strum on the moon Is it gone? Yo

Ben Watt – Figures in the Landscape Lyrics

Ben Watt – Figures in the Landscape Lyrics Gonna sleep here just for a while The porch is quiet and the breeze is warm I hear a murmur, I hear the wind We’re figures in the landscape I went walking down through the maples Gentle valley to the wide river Heard the muffled road of the city We’re figures in the landscape One more day to live through, take a stand One more day to live for, clap your hands One more day to live through, take a stand One more day to live for, clap your hands Everything’s a drop in the ocean Everyone’s a karaoke star We’re living through the blur of the seasons We’re figures in the landscape One more day to live through, take a stand One more day to live for, clap your hands One more day to live through, take a stand One more day to live for, clap your hands (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Come and clap your hands (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) I step in front of myself and I say, “This is it” The ride that we take, though the road is unfit The

Ben Watt – Irene Lyrics

Ben Watt – Irene Lyrics Hey Irene Remember that club Where you used to sing? Red lampshades In the booths Men whispering untruths Well, they Tore it down in the spring And I still remember your voice I see the band playing Up there on the stand And all the smoke and the light The music loud Different faces in the crowd Was it a dream? I heard that you moved out of range Was it something you’d outgrown? Needed something of your own I guess, well, everyone’s entitled To a change The crowd has grown older too But some of them They still want a piece of you They yearn for some golden age The time of day I first heard you from the stage New Years Day The snow is so thick But everybody came For the songs that you sang The whole glittering shebang Oh, I see it all When I hear your name Last night, I walked there again The neon city always ageless and unsung The bars spilled out to the street The music loud Different faces in the crowd Hey Irene Wher

Ben Watt – Sunlight Follows the Night Lyrics

Ben Watt – Sunlight Follows the Night Lyrics I told you “Love was absolute” But once you found it There it was And changing tone Never goes wrong And when you find it How you need it When you lose it How you feel it Yet all your feelings Are in flocks Even for the thing you love They change with the time You’re cut up inside open When you find it How you need it And when you lose it How you feel it You won’t win If you box yourself in Sunlight Follows the night Old habits That you think true Can’t keep a hold over you When you find it How you need it And when you lose it How you feel it When you find it How you need it And when you lose it How you feel it You won’t win If you box yourself in Sunlight Follows the night No, you won’t win If you box yourself in Sunlight Follows the night

Ben Watt – Festival Song Lyrics

Fifteen thousand people on this beach Holding up their phones in the dark I'm fuzzy inside from this tray of beers Poncing my first fag in 10 years Let go, let go for a while Let go of the world Let go of you Free, free from everything Let every song I sing Ring so true Can't see the band, but I don't really care A million stars are shining way up there I lost all my friends hours ago But I've danced and drunk with loads more I didn't know Let go, let go for a while Let go of the world Let go of you Free, free from everything Let every song I sing Ring so true Fifteen thousand people on this beach Holding up their phones in the dark And I not home 'til late afternoon So it's arms in the air for one more tune Let go, let go for a while Let go of the world Let go of you Free, free from everything Let every song I sing Ring so true
