I dont really care about you Ive just got this itch that needs to be scratched I dont want a long engagement I dont think youre serious enough for me I just know that you are out there On expeditions Im a plucky mountaineer Ill just have to suit myself My imaginations richer than your deeds At least thats how it seems
2.
I dont know what thing it is that makes me want to follow you Ive just got to find the place that youve been going to It doesnt matter that you blank me It doesnt matter that well never meet I dont know what thing it is that draws me to your side Its filling gaps where love should be that others have denied It doesnt matter that you shopped me it doesnt matter that Ill never see.. The daylight See the sun rise I always see the sun rise Garden walls and garden fences were designed to stop me But telephoto lenses make it easier to see What Id give to break this habit What I wouldnt give that I could.. See the daylight See the sun rise I always see the sun rise

I didnt know about the things she did It was something about how to swim and live She promised me if I turned up that day That Id understand life in a different way So I went because Im nosey Maybe its need that drew me in But the offer to save could help me swim In a virtuous room the word was love But devotions a thing that Ive given up But thats only to save time

tracy & I 03:38
Me & Tracy fell in love, our thoughts collide , What we both said outside,Was how we really felt, The way I spoke, the way she looked, It was ideal, We both lived in film, And she was Annie Hall. Watching jumbos cut the sky with vapour trails , A reverie that never failed , Oh Trace you couldn't compete, Tracy said she lost her head for security,That I was her property, She said she knew there would be false alarms. Tracy & I,We loved each other, but nothing ever worked right, Parting after five,A winters evening , the lights lost for.. Tracy & I. Give me one more chance and let me explain myself, I know you think I'm someone else ,these days, The truth about what happened to sweet Tracy and me, I left her and she left me,We cried about what should have been. Tracy & I,We loved each other, but nothing ever worked right, Parting after five,A winters evening , the lights lost for.. Tracy & I

orienteering 03:23
Leave the house head in to town, Drop your guard there on the ground, Just get out. Catch the bus and stay downstairs, Keep it in 'til you're there, Put your head down. Fix your hair and straighten your clothes, Catch a glimpse of someone you know, you're not safe yet. Orienteering by default. Taken readings for too long, Ask no questions to hear no truths. Refrain: While you're still young take what you need, Given chances you'll learn to breathe, Just open up. Watching by St Lukes alone, An ill favoured thing but your own, With pleading eyes the book shops scanned. Orienteering your way through, Waiting for life to start for you, just go home it wont be today. Refrain: While you're still young take what you need, Given chances you'll learn to breathe, Just open up.

I never meant to so viscously kiss you I never meant to be so devastating Somehow its more to do with the secrets you withheld Than how much you cared Oh God, I know you cared Its the whole world now This is your whole world Its four in the morning Im keenly awake Thoughts about duty so Im sitting up straight Its the whole world now This is your whole world Just waiting Thats your name is called this time Oh how youd love And how you love Its the whole world now This is your whole world Just waiting For your name to be picked out the line Oh how youd love Just waiting That its your name this time Still waiting Still waiting

I always thought that it would be much easier, To get away with murder, Than to get through to you. I thought someday, we'd put our differences aside, And run away to Ambleside, Raise chickens by the lake. Chorus: Nobody loves you,And it's easy to see why, Nobody wants you baby,And it's all because of lies, And your tissue thin disguise, That hides who you really are. I always thought that it would be high treason, Certainly castration , Getting thrown in the Tower, But I thought someday they'd put their grievances aside, And visit us in Ambleside, Growing Veggies by the lake. Chorus: Nobody loves you,And it's easy to see why, Nobody wants you baby,And it's all because of lies, And your tissue thin disguise, That hides who you really are. Don't take this the wrong way, But I'm sick to the back teeth with you, Don't take this the wrong way, But the more that you strained the stronger the bonds became. Chorus: Nobody loves you,And it's easy to see why, Nobody wants you baby,And it's all because of lies, And your tissue thin disguise, That hides who you really are. Nobody loves you,And it's easy to see why, Nobody wants you baby,And it's all because of lies, The way things are although I'd try, I'm not sure that I could satisfy, That's just kindling for neurotic fires, And natures cruel joke.

Where were you when we changed our lives? I imagine you holed up, holed up somewhere, With a bottle in hand. Where were you when we danced the night? I imagined you running,Running for your life. Dont you know it was no surprise, Cant you see that its warm outside, Even now that youve changed your life, You know youll always be in my mind. I dont know if you noticed me? I have always said good things and good things come in threes. Dont you know it was no surprise, Cant you see that its warm outside, Even now that youve changed your life, You know youll always be in my mind.

Is it too obvious,to say Im unhappy? Is it so wrong to point out,what that is? Should I be ashamed to say, to be so blatant? It's so hard to keep it all inside these days. This was your place of birth, Where you were born & raised, And were you'll stay. Maybe in a different town, with no accent, Go to the womens institute, and settle down. I'll stay in a B&B, and get myself happy,Case of Diazepam and the BBC. This was your place of birth, Where you were born and raised

"Sam and molly are in love" is carved into the tree The truest and purest loves cannot be concealed She bought the tickets to start anew A faded room in Morecombe Bay the British seaside runaways It didn't matter where they were Just to be alone and how we were promised a beautiful day. Sam I love you you're my life your dreams are mine from crowded streets and shuttered minds we let those memories die no natures dull necessity because our love its purity molly lift your lips to mine Its in our hands this is our time oh how I love you oh how I love you .

I dont know what it is about us, Why we like to stay in all of the time, I know that outside sometimes is frightening, But thats no reason to stay in all of the time. Life is beautiful if you let it why don't you come and join us out in the sun. I don't like it out there the people are hurtful my skin burns when I'm strafing hooligans Chorus: You tear my love apart You tear my love apart and while I'm recovering from a broken heart You never said console yourselff in my arms It seem there were classes you where away for I tried to reach out to you in the best way I knew how I know and thank you for your reasoning but nothing that you say could change me now You tear my love apart You tear my love apart and while you're recovering from a broken heart You never said console yourself in my arms.

about

Swimming is a healthy and enjoyable pastime and as well as being a sport is an essential part of living. The object of this recording is to give a non-swimmer the right approach to swimming and show him, or her, how to do the right thing and what to do for the best. Practice will do the rest for those intending to swim and live for pleasure and contentment. Competitive swimming will, of course, need extra therapy.
