Permission granted 2016 At 853 Chorley Old Road Three years till the works began 22 raising concerns Bigger than the original plans Now they can't see the sky Notice served Unauthorised - the terms they have been breached Not in line With what the city gave permission for Using blue instead of red bricks A dormer room and a balcony This wasn't meant to be Notice served Dismantle this - we'll give you 90 days This build Is not in keeping with the area's Appearance or character Tear it down Tear it down, down, down, down Tear it down Tear it down No more revisions We stand by our decision Just knock it down and you can start it again Tear it down Down, down, down, down, down By order of the city A retrospective application Rejected by the council again Demolition must begin Notice served You can't just build anything you want Who do you . . . Who d'you think you are to ignore our building control policies? Don't mess with Bolton Council Tear it down Tear it down, down, down, down Tear it down Tear it down No more revisions We stand by our decision Just knock it down and you can start it again Tear it down Down, down, down, down, down By order of the city

Come What May 04:59

Every second of the day Always searching for a way On the stepping stones Tired of being unknown And when your eyes have dried Step inside Seize the day You know the chance you have might go away Today's the day So don't regret a single thing, come what may Always messing with your head Can't forget the things she said All along she lied Hid it all inside And now you're satisfied The quiet life Seize the day You know the chance you have might go away Today's the day So don't regret a single thing, come what may Seize the day Nothing in your way Take the bull, stop asking why Seize the day You know the chance you have might go away Today's the day So don't regret a single thing, come what may Seize the day You know the chance you have might go away Today's the day So don't regret a single thing, come what may Come what may Seize the day Come what may

Can't Feel The Rain 06:09
lyrics

Sat alone in thought Trying to find a way Ambition put on hold For another day Followed the dream But it slipped away Don't let your head hang way down low Some people are built to fly We're not all the same You journey through this life In your own way Stop thinking of all you've lost As you head back home Your light may have failed to shine Don't let it go Never let it go Sinking again Not if but when Facing your fear Now the end is here Time and time again Your shoulders take the strain So many reasons why You gotta take that weight Gotta take that weight Some people are built to fly We're not all the same You journey through this life In your own way Thinking of all you've learned As you head back home Your light may have failed this time Don't let it go Never let it go Feeling so numb, inside you fall apart Can't feel the rain Set it too high, can't reach the lowest bar Can't run away Trying to escape, you got it oh so wrong Nothing remains Can't feel the rain Oh the rain Can't feel the rain Some people are built to fly We're not all the same You journey through this life In your own way Stop thinking of all you've lost As you head back home Your light may have failed to shine Don't let it go Never let it go

High And Dry 03:32

You never know to twist or stick All fall down You chew it all, then you spit All fall down Caught in the deed She's gonna make you bleed It's all agreed You're going down, down You no longer pull the strings All fall down You're laid low by her sting All fall down And you can't see The man at the back is me You can't believe You're going down, down Don't know how Can't think why She left you high High and dry You never know when to quit All fall down Your luck is up, time to split All fall down Caught in the deed She's gonna make you bleed It's all agreed You're going down, down Don't know how Can't think why She left you high High and dry Made a vow Paid the price Left to your Own device Don't know how Can't think why On your own High and dry Too late now Don't think twice Man to man Eye to eye

Time Waits For No One 07:02
lyrics

Suffocating The circumstance of how has gone away Hesitating The realisation that you've found your way Yeah, something's changed A brief reflection goes At last you've had your say Eyes shut - time to look away Ohhhh - the sun is rising A new day dawns Fears washed away Ohhhh - time keeps flying There goes an hour There goes a day Stimulating The thought of all the things you hid away Implicated No longer have to hide and be afraid The past won't say Your independence grows Debts - they have been paid Case closed - time to walk away Ohhhh - the sun is rising A new day dawns Fears washed away Ohhhh - time keeps flying There goes an hour There goes a day A nightmare Yeah, you're living tonight Knocked off your feet again A nightmare This fire's gonna ignite You know now Got to run to the light Plan your escape From this nightmare Day as dark as the night The light gets dimmer as you're taken away You keep on fighting for another day Ohhhh - the sun is rising A new day dawns Fears washed away Ohhhh - time keeps flying There goes an hour There goes a day Ohhhh - the sun is rising A new day dawns Fears washed away Ohhhh - time keeps flying There goes an hour There goes a day Time waits for no one Won't wait for you Won't wait for me And time keeps on flying Hour by hour Oh, day by day Time waits for no one Won't wait for you Won't wait for me And time keeps on flying Hour by hour Oh, day by day Time waits for no one Won't wait for you Won't wait for me And time keeps on flying Hour by hour Oh, day by day

Family Of Two 02:55
lyrics

Mama's weeping for her little boy She sits and holds him like a broken toy Searching all night for a place to stay The sun comes up - they get on their way And she knows Just what she's got to do Can't keep living this way A family of two Lyin' on her back, lookin' up to the sky No need to worry as the days go by "Ain't got a fifty, will a twenty do?" She makes enough to see them through Yes she knows Just what she's got to do And now they sit in the sun A family of two You go up, down Turn it all around Life is so much sweeter When your feet stay on the ground You go up, down Turn it all around Choose your own direction Shout it loud and proud

I'll Watch You From Afar 03:20

And now the day is done Doesn't matter if I lost or won As you hear this song, the tears may run It's time to say goodbye And as I leave the room Your memories will stay with you It's all over much too soon It's time to say goodbye No, nothing lasts forever Reminisce about the days gone by We built this life together Forget all the lows, just remember the highs The world keeps moving on So many things to see and do I won't be there to share with you But I'll watch you from afar No, nothing lasts forever Reminisce about the days gone by I'm in your heart forever Forget all the lows, just remember the highs Now let go of my hand This isn't how we had it planned Enjoy your time as best you can Until we meet again In the darkness of the night When you look up to the sky That star that's shining oh so bright I'll watch you from afar That star that's shining oh so bright I'll watch you from afar That star that's shining oh so bright I'll watch you from afar

Sick To The Core 07:34

The gavel falls The light goes out Only one decision to make You're going down Hanging on for way too long, my friend You can't escape The ball and chain Got that feeling in your bones You can't explain Hanging on for way too long From your hands it slips away And now you've lost all control Too late In the end, the sun sets on us all As the day returns to night In the end, we rise and then we fall Don't give up the fight, the fight It's in your eyes A silent smile Suspicion written on your face The perfect crime Guess you'll get what you deserve one day In the end, the sun sets on us all As the day returns to night In the end, we rise and then we fall Don't give up the fight, the fight I can't scream any more I'm as cold as a stone Feeling sick to the core And at the end of the day My eyes have cried dry Can't keep holding on, holding on, holding on In the end, the sun sets on us all As the day returns to night In the end, we rise and then we fall Don't give up the fight In the end, the sun sets on us all As the day returns to night In the end, we rise and then we fall Don't give up the fight, the fight, the fight, the fight
