passenger - things you ve never done
When you were younger
Blue eyed boy wonder
Never used to ponder
On what life may hide
Now that you're older
The nights are so much colder
Never even told her
How you feel inside
You were so proud
With your head up in the white clouds
She'd call you so loud
But you'd never know
Now that you're wiser
You'd never compromise her
Everyday you'd realise her
But this bird has flown
And you've blown out all your candles, one by one
And you curse yourself for things you've never done
She would wait for you
Idolise, adore you
Love and reassure you
You couldn't let it be
You let it linger
Slip on through your fingers
So that September
She moved across the sea
How your face dropped
And how your heart stopped
Sitting at the bus stop
When they told you that she? d gone
So you run to the harbour
Need to tell her that you love her
As the boat disappears
You never felt so alone
'Cause you? ve blown out all your candles one by one
And you curse yourself for things you never done
Where were you when her hour of need had come?
Now you curse yourself for things you never done
Now your grandson, blonde haired blue eyed handsome
Calls you up from London and sits and asks you why
So your answer don? t be scared of failure
For the only failure is never to try
passenger - i hate
I hate racist blokes, telling tasteless jokes
And explaining where people belong
I hate ignorant folks, who pay money to see gigs
And talk through every fucking song
I hate people in night clubs, snorting coke
And explaining where your going wrong
Well if you agree, then come hating with me
And feel free to sing along
And it goes
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Wonderful, love it
Well I hate pointless status updates on facebook
Fyi we were never "m8"s
We pretend to be friends on the internet
When in real life, we have nothing to say
To each other, oh brother I have love for my mother
For good times, for music and my mates
Yeah I laugh, and live and I have love to give
But sometimes all you can do is hate
And it goes
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Well I hate them fussy eaters, you cook them fajitas
They only eat pizza and chips
I hate stepping outside, for a smoke and some guy
Coughs, like your lungs are his
And I hate queuing up, for festival toilets
Especially when you need to shit
And I hate the x-factor, for murdering music
You bunch of money grubbing pricks
And it goes
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
And I hate them magazines, aimed at insecure teens
That make ten year old's race to grow up
Hey kids, let's all be anorexic or better
Eat chocolate until you throw up
Keep your hollywood stars, and their stupid cars
And the bo-tox, that makes them look fucked
Just grow old with grace, have you seen cher's face
It looks like it's been hit by a truck
And it goes
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
One more time, loud as you can
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
(Thank you so much, cheers... Thank you very much, indeed)
passenger - whispers
I've got open eyes
And an open door
But I don't know what I'm searching for
I should know by now
See, I've a big old heart
This I know for sure
But I don't know what my love is for
I should know by now
You see, I wait in line
So I can wait some more
'Till I can't remember what I came here for
But I can't leave now
Cause I've a light that shines
And a love so pure
But I don't know what to use them for
I should know by now
Well, I spent my money
I lost my friends
I broke my mobile phone
3am and I'm drunk as hell
And I'm dancing on my own
Taxi-cabs aint stopping
And I dont know my way home
Well it's hard to find a reason
When all you have is doubts
Hard to see inside yourself
When can't see your way out
Hard to find the answers
When the question won't come out
Everyone's filling me up with noise
I don't know what they're talking about
Everyone's filling me up with noise
I don't know what they're talking about
Everyone's filling me up with noise
I don't know what they're talking about
See all I need is a whisper
In a world that only shouts
passenger - riding to new york
Well, I met him in Minnesota
He was dark and overcast
With long, grey hair and eyes that stared
Through me like I was glass
I asked "Where are you going to? "
He said, "I'm the wind I'm just blowing through. "
He lit up a cigarette and began to talk
Said
"The doctors told me that my body won't hold me
My lungs are turning black
Been a lucky strike's fool since I was at school
And there ain't no turning back
They can't tell me how long I've got
Maybe months but maybe not
So I'm taking this bike and riding to New York
'Cause I wanna see my grand-daughter one last time
Wanna hold her close
and feel her tiny heartbeat next to mine
Wanna see my son and the man he's become
Tell him I'm sorry for the things I've done
And I'd do it if I had to walk
Oh, I'm taking this bike and riding to New York
Through the forests of Wisconsin that I knew as a boy
Past the sky line of Chicago
Round the lakes of Illinois
I lay my head in a motel bed
where my back is sore and my eyes turn red
Listen to the trucks roll past my door
Through the fields of Ohio
as the sunshine paints them gold
I run just like a river runs, rapid, quick and cold
And fly through Pennsylvania
and the Jersey turnpike tolls
And I won't stop 'till I get to New York
'Cause I wanna see my grand-son one last time
Wanna see his eyes sparkling and stare back into mine
Now my time is shorter
I wanna see my daughter
Tell her all the things that I should have taught her
And I'd do it if I had to walk
Oh, I'm taking this bike and riding to New York
And I'd go up to the churchyard one last time
Lay flowers down for the woman
who gave me the best years of my life
And I'd do it if I had to walk
Yeah, I'd do it if I had to walk
I'm taking this bike and riding to New York. "

passenger - underwater bride
Help me stay awake, I'm falling asleep
And I don't want to fall asleep while you're here
You're gonna leave when the alarm clock beeps
And it will beep any moment, my dear
And all that we have will be locked into memory
Like everything that we've had before
So I will stay awake
And I will watch the fire burning
And keep the hungry wolves from the door
Help me find my way back to the bread crumbs
I've wandered alone through the trees
The lights are dimming in the windows of the houses
And my heart is starting to freeze
See, we have a light but we won't use it
We're scared we'll lose it if we don't use it
Then we'll die here in the dark
And they will find us hopeless and helpless
And clutching our frozen hearts
But you and I, well, we'll be buried side by side
And time, it won't mean a thing
I'll be your underground groom
You'll be my underground bride
Please, can you help me keep my head above the water
I have cramp in both of my calves
Yeah, my lungs are filling up with cold dirty water
But I've a sickness that is making me laugh
See we have boat but we don't think it
We're scared we'll sink but we'll drink it
If we never find that raft
We will sink down to the bottom of the ocean
With the fishes that glow in the dark
But you and I, well, we'll sink down side by side
And time, it won't mean a thing
I'll be your underwater groom
You'll be my underwater bride
And, oh, the lights are fading my love
And, oh, the water's filling me up
And, oh, the lights are fading my love
passenger - do what you like
It never felt, like it felt when I felt it
For the first time with you
And you know I wouldn't lie
Now I'm standing by the fountain
And I'm counting all the sunken coins
Maybe they know what it's like
To be a stain on your shirt
And a hole in your jeans
To be a speckle of dirt
On your dress so clean
Because I give you my all
But you give nothing to me
So go on, do what you like
You never meant what you said
But you said it 'cause you've had one or two
And I know that's what you're like
Now I'm standing by the wall, feeling small
As you're working the room
And I know that he's your type
With his tight fitted shirt
And his designer jeans
Well you treat me like dirt
I treat you like a queen
You have the time in the world
And not a second for me
So go on
You took me to the party
I don't know anybody
But I'll wait for you
Yeah you left me here alone
And you're not answering your phone
And still I'll wait for you
Because the taxi's just a fiver
But I'm your designated driver
And I'll wait for you
Because tonight could be the night
when you realize this is right
And so I'll wait for you
So no smoking, no drinking
Straight thinking 'cause
I'm driving you home
And I think your coat's upstairs
Now I'm standing on the landing
And I'm staring through an open door
I can't believe it's you in there
With an unbuttoned shirt
And your hands down his jeans
Well you treat me like dirt
But your hands stay clean
Because I give you my all
But you give nothing to me
So go on, do what you like
Do what you like to me
passenger - heart s on fire
And if my true love is gone
I will surely find another
And to her I will sing
Things that make her know I want her
So would you go, lassie, go
And we'll all go together
Where the wild mountain thyme
Grows around bloomin' heather
Would you go, lassie, go
Well, I don't know how, and I don't know why
But when something's living, you can't say die
You feel like laughing, but you start to cry
I don't know how, and I don't know why
Well, I don't have many, and I don't have much
In fact I don't have any, but I borrow enough
'Cause I know those eyes, and I know that touch
I don't have many, and I don't have much
But oh, darling, my heart's on fire
Oh, darling, my heart's on fire
Oh, darling, my heart's on fire
For you
Well, I don't know where, and I don't know when
But I know we'll be lovers again
I'll see you some day before the end
I don't know where, and I don't know when
But oh, darling, my heart's on fire
Oh, darling, my heart's on fire
Oh, darling, my heart's on fire
You know those love songs break your heart
You know those love songs break your heart
You know those love songs break your heart
Oh, darling, my heart's on fire
For you
