Travis - The Invisible Band


01 Sing (3:48)

Baby, you've been going so crazy
Lately nothing seems to be going right
Solo, why do you have to get so low
You're so... You've been waiting in the sun too long

But if you sing, sing
Sing, sing, sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
unless you sing, sing, sing, sing

Colder, crying on your shoulder
Hold her and tell her everything's gonna be fine
Surely you've been going too early
Hurry, 'cos no one's gonna be stopped, na na na na na

But if you sing
Sing, sing, sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
unless you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing

Hoo...

Baby, there's something going on today
but I say

nothing x10


02 Dear Diary (2:57)

Dear Diary
What is wrong with me?
'Cos I'm fine between the lines

Be not afraid
Help is on its way
A sentence suspended in air
way over there

Dear Diary
What else could it be?
This nightshade descends like a veil
under the sail of my heart

Be still
don't stop
until the end

Dear Diary
What is wrong with me?
'Cos I'm fine between the lines


03 Side (3:59)

Well, I believe there's someone watching over you
They're watching every single thing you say
And when you die they'll set you down and take you through
You'll realise one day

The grass is always greener on the other side
Neighbour's got a new car that you wanna drive
and when time is running out you wanna stay alive

We all live under the same sky
we all will live, we all will die
There is no wrong, there is no right
The circle only has one side

Side x2

We all try hard to live our lives in harmony
For fear of falling swiftly overboard
But life is both a major and a minor key
Just open up the chord

Oh, but the grass is always greener on the other side
Neighbour's got a new car that you wanna drive
and when time is running out you wanna stay alive

We all live under the same sky
we all will live, we all will die
There is no wrong, there is no right
The circle only has one side

Side x3

The grass is always greener on the other side
Neighbour's got a new car that you wanna drive
and when time is running out you wanna stay alive

We all live under the same sky
we all will live, we all will die
There is no wrong, there is no right

The grass is always greener on the other side
Neighbour's got a new car that you wanna drive
and when time is running out you wanna stay alive

We all live under the same sky
we all will live, we all will die
There is no wrong, there is no right
The circle only has one side

Side x7

one, two, three, four)


04 Pipe Dreams (4:05)

I read it all, every word
and I still don't understand a thing
What had you heard?
What had you heard, was it love
Was it take another walk in the dark?
You'll never learn

I'd pray to God if there was heaven
but heaven seems so very far from here

And it all boils down to the same old thing
Just a yin and a yang or a couple of pipe dreams
And it all boils down to the same old pain
Whether you win or you lose isn't gonna change a single thing

I stood in line and a thought crossed my mind
I had been dreaming
but I didn't mind
I signed the line and the woman
looked right through me
She didn't smile

I'd pray to God if there was heaven
but heaven seems so very far from here

And it all boils down to the same old thing
Just a yin and a yang or a couple of pipe dreams
And it all boils down to the same old pain
Whether you win or you lose isn't gonna change a single thing

Na ha...

I'd pray to God if there was heaven
but heaven seems so very far from here

And it all boils down to the same old thing
Just a yin and a yang or a couple of pints please
And it all boils down to the same old pain
Whether you win or you lose isn't gonna change a single thing

And it all boils down to the same old fear
Just a link in a chain, just a puppet on a string
And it all boils down to the same old fear

Whether you win or you lose x4


05 Flowers In The Window (3:41)

When I first held you I was cold
A melting snowman, I was told
But there was no one there to hold
Before I swore that I would be alone for ever more

Wow, look at you now, flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day and I'm glad you feel the same
'Cos to stand up
out in the crowd you are one in a million
and I love you so
let's watch the flowers grow

There is no reason to feel bad
But there are many seasons to feel glad, sad, mad
It's just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold
but I am here to help you with the load

Wow, look at you now, flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day and I'm glad you feel the same
'Cos to stand up
out in the crowd you are one in a million
and I love you so, let's watch the flowers grow

La la la la la la...

So now we're here and now is fine
So far away from there and there is time, time, time
To plant new seeds and watch them grow
so there'll be flowers in the window when we go

Wow, look at us now, flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day and I'm glad you feel the same
'Cos to stand up
out in the crowd you are one in a million
and I love you so, let's watch the flowers grow

Oh wow, look at you now, flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day and I'm glad you feel the same
'Cos to stand up
out in the crowd you are one in a million
and I love you so, let's watch the flowers grow

Ha...

Let's watch the flowers grow


06 The Cage (3:05)

You broke the bread, we drank the wine
Your lip was bleedin' but it was fine
Come on inside, babe, across the line
I love you more than I

But then this bird just flew away
she was never meant to stay
Oh, to keep her caged would just delay the spring

You broke your word, now that's a lie
We had a deal that you would try
Come on inside, girl, I think it's time
High time we drew the line

But then this bird just flew away
while I looked the other way
Oh, to keep her caged would just delay the spring

Ha ah...

You broke my soul, dear, you stole the plot
You left an empty shot
There's nothing left here 'cos you took the lot
An empty cage is all I've got

'Cos when your bird has flown away
she was never meant to stay
Oh, to keep her caged would just delay the spring
To keep her caged would just delay the spring


07 Safe (4:23)

Take all the goods from all the bads
and tell the people that you've gone away
Now lift your head up to the sky
Now you can tell apart the black from the white

We waste the time they treasure, dear
My only thought is that they could be right
Oh look there goes another year
About as distant as a satellite

And I feel safe, so safe
And I feel safe, so safe
And I feel safe, so safe
So safe

The world's a small child in the dark
and my mind's the same place as it's always been
The monsters seem to fade so fast
upon the waking of another dream

And I feel safe, so safe
And I feel safe, so safe
And I feel so safe

I feel so brave
I'm not afraid of anything they've got to say
And you're OK because you're tucked away
Don't go astray, you've got to be just who you are
Who you are

When I was young things didn't last
My only care stemmed to the price of sweets
Now I am older, I can laugh
A dolly mixed up man with rotten teeth

And I feel safe, so safe
And I feel safe, so safe
And I feel safe, so safe
So safe

08 Follow The Light (3:08)

Nobody really knows
where they're supposed to go
Hiding behind a wall
Afraid that they'll lose it all

But it's alright, just follow the light
and don't be afraid of the dark
In the moonlight you'll dance till you fall
and always be here in my heart

But nobody wants to know
'cos nobody even cares
Everyone's on the make
Oh and everyone's out for themselves

Me, I'm on the longest road
where everything's overload
But I've got my heart and soul
so don't throw me overboard

'Cos it's alright, just follow the light
and don't be afraid of the dark
In the moonlight you'll dance till you fall
and always be here in my heart

'Cos it's alright, just follow the light
and don't be afraid of the dark
In the moonlight you'll dance till you fall
and always be here in my heart

'Cos it's alright
Alright now
And you're alright
Yeah, we're alright now


09 Last Train (3:15)

Rain on the brain
Now there's flowers in your window
She, well she's so strange
I don't know anything about her

But if it's all the same to you
here's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna write a song
gonna sing it to everyone
and then I'll sing it to you
'cos it was you that wrote it too
This could be the last train

Search within yourself
for feelings, everybody's got them
You left me on the shelf
and now there's no one to rely on

But if it's all the same to you
here's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna buy a gun
gonna shoot everything, everyone
and then I'm coming for you
'cos it was you that drove me to
This could be the last train

Woo-o-ooh...

Rear window
with the room in her hair and on her jacket
there's a picture in white of Che Guevara
as he sits beneath the tree but that's not important

But he looked a bit like me
if you took all the little feelings in your heart
and took all those little feelings all apart
Oh well, now what's the point in doing all of that?


10 Afterglow (4:05)

Feeling myself all of the time
All of the time feeling alright
Taking a while raising a smile
Raising a smile makes it all worthwile

But if you wanted to find peace of mind
then you could find it any time you liked
You are the afterglow

Feeling my way all of the time
All of the time doing just fine
Taking a page out of my life
Out of my life, wouldn't it be nice

But if you wanted to find peace of mind
then you could find it any time you liked
You are the afterglow

You are the midnight show
The only one I know
You come and then you go

And when you finally leave
you leave nothing for me
Oh oh oh

Hoo...

(One
one, two, three, four)


11 Indefinitely (3:52)

Everyday in every way I'm falling
Everything that everyone says turns me on
Shine a light on me
so that everyone can see
that I wanna stay here
indefinitely

Time exists but just on your wrist, so don't panic
Moments last and lifetimes are lost in a day
So wind your watches down please
'cos there is no time to lose
and I'm gonna stay here
indefinitely

And I wanna stay here
so just let me be
Now I can see the light
circling around your reflection

And I'm gonna stay here
indefinitely
and I'm gonna stay here
so just let me be

Indefinitely x5


12 The Humpty Dumpty Love Song (5:01)

All of the king's horses
and all of the king's men
couldn't pull my heart
back together again

All of the physicians
and mathematicians too
failed to stop my heart
from breaking in two

'Cos all I need is you
I just need you
Yeah, you got the glue
so I'm gonna give my heart to you

I had a premonition
a movie in my mind
confirming my suspicions
of what I would find

It followed me to LA
down to Mexico
came in through the back door
at the start of the show

Still all I need is you
I just need you
Yeah, you got the glue
so gonna give my heart to you

Oh was a perfect day
Oh in a perfect way
you know
Something had to go
You left me high
you left me low

Now as I lie in pieces
and wait for your return
the sun upon my forehead
it burns, baby, burns, baby, burns

And eye on all my horses
You've slept with all my men
I'm never gonna get it
together again

Still all I need is you
I just need you
Yeah, you got the glue
so I'm gonna give my heart to you

Yeah, you got the glue
and there's nothing I can do
Yeah, you got the glue
I'm gonna give my heart to you
