You came into our room demanding the odds but you've not got a leg to stand on Your argument wasn't valid given you were way out of line not that you could clearly see It's your word against mine We can agree to disagree tonight It's way past bedtime We can agree to disagree tonight Sensible enough to know that's there's no need to push any further from here To put out the flames is the only way we can move forward It's your word against mine We can agree to disagree tonight It's way past bedtime We can agree to disagree tonight

Disjointed 03:16
So disjointed I can't find a way to describe it in words So disconnected the reality of the madness is too obvious to draw If it's a mistake I can handle But when there's give and no take That's a gamble, a gamble to far to bear If I'm out of line well that's fine I can thank you for your time So disjointed I can't find a way to describe it in words So disconnected the reality of the madness is too obvious to draw Take it for what it is To leave or stay Black is the colour that leads you to his door But it's all for what if you sacrifice everything

One hand on the wheel finger out the window Cutting and weaving across all lanes The traffic says hello Basket weavers where are you going Invested lots of money To gain new things When it all fails they say we don't know The standards are set far too low Basket weavers where are you going I'm coming home before it really does me in Both hands on the wheel Eyes closed tighly shut Both feet on the brake accosted by fear That's me driving over here Basket weavers where are you going I'm coming home before it really does me in

Sunday morning, waiting for the sun In Cyberjaya there's nowhere left to run She's awoken to see it through There's not a cloud left to ruin our view There's an element of truth when I hear people say it's not worth the strain All the King's women sat gormless in a row it's beyond the price of pain The madness confusion utter disarray so obvious for all to see Nowhere do I want to be but Somewhere next to you Driving slowly to Prima Avenue There's a choice worth making It's mind can be your's too There's little movement, that's alright by me A day of madness, solitude is the key There's an element of truth when I hear people say it's not worth the strain All the King's women sat gormless in a row it's beyond the price of pain The madness confusion utter disarray so obvious for all to see Nowhere do I want to be but Somewhere next to you

Langkawi 03:22
Langkawi (x4) Surrounded by the turquoise seas And the coconut trees That sway in the gentle breeze It's a life full of ease The jungle-clad hills with the picturesque beaches With the unending stretches of fine white sand Lush forests, alluvial plains Punctuated by the limestone ridges Langkawi (x4) I'm going back to you someday to find the legend of Mahsuri who laid her curse The jungle-clad hills with the picturesque beaches With the unending stretches of fine white sand Lush forests, alluvial plains Punctuated by the limestone ridges Langkawi (x4)

It's too easy to moan and groan It's too easy to forget while in Rome It's too easy to lay the blame It's too easy to become just the same But it all leads down a no hope road where voices in the dark just increase the load It's high time to take the heat for what is said It's all just a waste if we wait until we're dead In the multi media super corridor the truth is just believing It's not easy a positive frame of mind It's not easy when you cannot find it's not easy to let sleeping dogs lie It's not easy watching others cry But it all leads down a no hope road where voices in the dark just increase the load It's high time to take the heat for what is said It's all just a waste if we wait until we're dead In the multi media super corridor the truth is just believing
7.
Well the movement was complete, behind the scenes of the past that tripped up through the night And the dawning was so sweet, raining pelting on the roof but there's no need to move Walking tightrope through the maze of confusion no end to exclusion they're holding out for more this time where have they been these days When they're needed most By the evening we were on the street, embracing the night like a long lost friend Come the morning the mood had shifted again, don't believe all the things that you read but cannot see Walking tightrope through the maze of confusion no end to exclusion they're holding out for more this time where have they been these days When they're needed most
8.
When it all makes no sense, there's no chance to turn it around and make it all seem real, With arguments won and lost there's no point in counting the cost, it won't seem worth it in the end, But I couldn't leave without you knowing how I felt, The forces that shape our world are greater than all of us In a town that's not yet a town, functioning on the type of hype you'd have to see to believe, Black on black and there's no room to move, it's a vision that I found so hard to share, But I couldn't leave without you knowing how I felt, The forces that shape our world are greater than all of us But I'd be lying if I said i didn't learn a thing I'd be lying if I said it was all just a waste of time But I'd be lying if I said I wanted to come again
