Firefly
Words and music: James Moore

Twilight on a slow train
There's a storm outside that calls my name
Over and over again
I let my thoughts ride
When I close my eyes I see your light
Burning and searching for love

But Firefly ‘way
Firefly ‘way
It's only when when I breathe

In my life, in my skin
Will you know my name my face my sins
As I stand, in your hands I try
To carry on shoulder
The weight of the world and as I'm falling over
I see violence, as silence fades

But Firefly ‘way
Firefly ‘way
It's only when when I breathe

(bridge)

But Firefly ‘way
Firefly ‘way
It's only when when I breathe
It's not me.


Head Down
Words and music: James Moore

Now, I repeat myself when there's no one else around
Love, looks for some way out, when there's no one else around

And I can't sleep
I can't see
What you've done to me

Lay your Head Down
Lay your Head Down

On and on the days they fell, there was no one else around
Now, I repeat myself when there's no one else around

And I can't sleep
I can't see
What you've done to me

Lay your Head Down
Lay your Head Down

(bridge)

And I can't sleep
I can't see
What you've done to me

Lay your Head Down
Lay your Head Down


Zero Hero
Words and music: James Moore

I hear all the laughter
About the disaster
Striking the master
For breaking the bastard

Maybe I won't if I try to be strong, I won't
Decision is hard you're leaving what you fought for

Sinking the long boat
Is like calling me cut throat
When nero the zero
Becomes zero the hero

Maybe I won't if I try to be strong, I won't
Decision is hard you're leaving what you fought for

After the gun
Takes what it wants from us all
People will fall but I know they'll all smile it off

Teacher is losing
The respect I am giving
There's no use in teaching
What we're learning through living

Maybe I won't if I try to be strong, I won't
Decision is hard you're leaving what you fought for

Zero Hero
Zero Hero Etc….

 


The Tower
Words and music: James Moore

So I heard, you're running around
I can tell ‘cause you're upside down
One more week and I'll be home
One more night before the whole thing falls
Like a tower falls
Faded crumbling walls
See the whole thing fall

Watch you leave me like a breeze
Watch you bring me to my knees
Wishes lose their blues in sleep
One more night before it crumbles and falls
Like a tower falls
Faded crumbling walls
See the whole thing fall

It all came crashing down
Oh no I see you're holding on
And if you lose your hold
O God I see my angel over me
I know it's you

(bridge)

It all came crashing down
Oh no I see you're holding on
And if you lose your hold
O God I see my angel over me
I know it's you

Half a year and nothing's changed
Lost myself in your arms again
Don't know who the finger blames
Far away will keep it safe

 


Vanilla
Words and music: James Moore

I just wanna be loved
Well doesn't everyone, oh oh
Need admiration
You were just a dream
A simple remedy
Sent to rescue me

She's strung out on the boulevard She's coming down, She's coming down
She's the one, she's a shooting star She's coming down, She's coming down

Out where you belong
Far from everyone, oh oh
Sweet oblivion

She's strung out on the boulevard She's coming down, She's coming down
She's the one, she's a shooting star She's coming down, She's coming down

Like a big wave
Earthquake
Words are useless when they break
Hearts are worn then cast away
Cast away

She's strung out on the boulevard
She's coming down, She's coming down
She's the one, she's a shooting star
She's coming down, She's coming down


Ocean
Words and music: James Moore

Lover get on your best
Funeral dress
We're going to the edge
To try to keep this
Ya we're gonna get all wet
With all of that rain on our heads
I'll hold you on the ledge
And not let you go

No one loves you
More than I do
And I won't let you go

Asleep with you in the sun
Lost in the tide when it comes
This ocean takes anyone
Takes them, breaks them
My cure's the cause of everything
It's you I adore mon amour
But I'm not coming back again
‘till you understand

No one loves you
More than I do
And I won't let you go

Ocean's falling down
This ocean's gonna drown
Ocean's falling down
Oh my ocean You're my ocean now.

No one loves you
More than I do
And I won't let you go

(bridge)

Ocean's falling down
This ocean's gonna drown
Ocean's falling down
Oh my ocean
You're my ocean now.

 


Taking Time
Words and music: James Moore

You, are self control
You, are rock ‘n roll

Take your time
I'm takin' mine
I'm borderline

Break, you win
I break, you win

You, a loaded gun
And you, will overcome

Take your time
I'm takin' mine
I'm borderline

Break, you win
I break, you win
Break, you win
I break, you win
Break, you win
I break, you win

 


Dizzy
Words and music: James Moore

You on your own
Lost in a song
Baby hold on, Baby hold on
Out on the floor you lost your hold
Left me Dizzy, Dizzy, Dizzy.

Heart like a sun
Constellation
Baby hold on, Baby hold on
What can I do when the thought of you
leaves me Dizzy, Dizzy, Dizzy.

On my way, my way back home
Make my way back over
I hear your name, your name at all
Leaves me Dizzy, Dizzy, Dizzy.

Will you ever know
How far you can go
Baby hold on, Baby hold on
What can I do just the thought of you
leaves me Dizzy, Dizzy, Dizzy.

(bridge)

you left me Dizzy, Dizzy, Dizzy
you left me Dizzy, Dizzy, Dizzy
you left me Dizzy, Dizzy, Dizzy
you left me Dizzy, Dizzy, Dizzy

 


Winebago
Words and music: James Moore

I'm not your type
I'm a satellite
I'm the cause and you're the cure
That's for sure
So take your own advice
And you should be alright
Guess I'll be moving on
Like the same old, sad sad song

Beg and you borrow
But only so far
In my winebago
Everyone gets
What everyone wants

Everybody lies
Everybody dies
It's no secret anymore
That's for sure
So come come on inside
And you should be alright
No crawling out the door
Like a scared conquistador

Beg and you borrow
But only so far
In my winebago
Everyone gets
What everyone wants

What everyone wants
What everyone wants

Beg and you borrow
But only so far
In my winebago Everyone gets
What everyone wants
If I can remember one thing
It's hard on everyone

What everyone wants
What everyone wants

 


Home
Words and music: James Moore

I am wondering If she's gonna stay
Took my hand in her own
And she'll turn to me Look me straight in the face and say
Maybe I should go home I don't want to go home

Love is like a landmine You don't step every time
Can tear apart what you find
And she'll turn to me Look me straight in the face and say
Maybe I should go home I don't want to go home

Well maybe I
Could sing you a lullaby
Now don't be shy
Oh, have I held you down now?
Have I held you down now?
Have I held you down now?

I am wondering If she's gonna say
Maybe I should go home
I don't wanna go home
I don't wanna go home
I don't wanna go home
I don't wanna go home
I don't wanna go home

 


Sold My Soul
Words and music: James Moore

Sold my soul
Now I can never walk alone
I'm looking over my shoulder
Tempted by the thought of her

All I know
Is buried in the dreams I hold
Could never do what I was told
You're the same as me I know
But that's all over

No, I will not go
I wanna be saved
No, I will not go

Sell my soul
Been running where I just don't know
Each breath that I forget I stole
My life the only debt I owe
But that's all over

No, I will not go
I wanna be saved
No, I will not go

Looking over my desire
let it go
And as those flames get higher and higher
Let it go

Ah ooh….etc….

No, I will not go
I wanna be saved
No, I will not go
away

Ah ooh….etc….
