SHINING IN THE HALF LIGHT LYRICS
Cheats And Liars Elles Bailey / Ashton Tucker V1 Running on empty, Ploughing desolate lands Well ran dry, Still we drown in the silence While the blood runs from your hands Poets and preachers, Left in the cold Ain’t no margin in feeding a family From the farming of your soul So sing yourself to sleep Chorus Turn turn turn World keeps a turning Deal us scraps From your silver spoon Burn Burn Burn Songs on the fire Carried on the smoke To the cheats and the liars Turn turn turn World keeps a turning Revolution Coming through Burn Burn Burn Warmed by the pyre Sing another song For the cheats and the liars V2 The hardest of winters Paralysed on pause But how can we fight When you keep us frozen Fearing the invisible Laughing at jesters Who curse at your name Rest in the sound While the show shuts down Smiling through your shame So sing yourself to sleep Chorus Turn turn turn World keeps a turning Deal us scraps From your silver spoon Burn Burn Burn Songs on the fire Carried on the smoke To the cheats and the liars Turn turn turn World keeps a turning Revolution Coming through Burn Burn Burn Warmed by the pyre Sing another song For the cheats and the liars
The Game Elles Bailey/ Will Edmunds / Ashton Tucker V1 Always danced to the beat of my own blues Never cared about the win baby or the lose Blind to the rules that been laid down, Can’t take away what you live without Dusted all the dirt on my own shoes V2 Now I’m walking till I’m sleeping on my feet I’ve been 10 times down this dead end street Two steps forward, three steps back Wandering the same old track I’ve become my own worst enemy  Chorus Ooooh what a shame Time to play your game I can’t fight this any longer Oh walk the line Shaped by your design Reign this outlaw in Invade and conquer V3 Now I’m Rolling all these dice on someone new Terrified the snake eyes see right through Guaranteed a sure mistake, Every chance that I don’t take Leads me back to bet it all on you Chorus Oh what a shame Time to play your game I can’t fight this any longer Ooooh walk the line Shaped by your design Reign this outlaw in Invade and conquer
Stones Elles Bailey / Tamara Stewart / Will Edmunds  Verse 1 You think I can’t see you But you’re standing in clear view Yeah you’ve got it made Up there throwin’ shade But all the while the sun shines through But all the while the sun shines through Ooooh Your tower is high it’s a long fall down Ooooh Let’s get your feet on the ground  CHORUS It’s alway been a game you’ve played Lets call a spade a spade I know you’re closets got it’s own damn bones  If you live in a glass house Don’t throw stones Don’t throw stones Don’t you throw now Verse 2 So sickenin’ and tiring All your patronising You think you know best Treat me like I’m less But all the while the truth’s rising Ooooh Your tower is high No you won’t you come down Ooooh Let’s get your feet on the ground
Colours start to run Elles Bailey / Alex Maile V1 The destination’s Always changing The journey never ends And as the train it Leaves the station Heartache all over again PRE1 In a world that’s spinning You keep my feet on the ground But I wish that we could Slow it down CHORUS Baby when the nights rolls in Turn the lights down low Just you my arms And a little old time soul Leave the world outside Life ain’t a race to be won Was it easier in black and white These days the colours start to run V2 Trying to paint a picture But it ain’t easy When there’s only shades of blue But like a vinyl record that’s coming back around I’ll be home real soon PRE2 Those good old days Seem like a lifetime ago Long summers when the river ran dry And time moved slow
Different kind of love Elles Bailey / Martin Harley V1 Won’t you whisper something kind Won’t you whisper something sweet Tell me I’m the one you want baby Tell me I’m the one you need CHORUS Highs and lows Fire and rain Your love is different in every way So be my reason Show me a sign I need a different kind of love Different kind of love I need a different kind of love in my life V2 Lay your head down next to mine And we’ll listen to the rain Let the morning come and go Then we’ll do it all again CHORUS Highs and lows Fire and rain Your love is different in every way So be my reason Show me a sign I need a different kind of love Different kind of love I need a different kind of love in my life V3 Every day I sing the blues Every night I say a prayer When my troubles weigh me down Oh you always find me there CHORUS Highs and lows Fire and rain Your love is different in every way So be my reason Show me a sign I need a different kind of love Different kind of love I need a different kind of love in my life
Who’s That Elles Bailey / Brett Boyett V1 The whisky won’t drown my demons Can’t drink them all away : Ooooooh Lord please give me my freedom Cuz my minds locked up in chains : Ooooooh PRE I’ve tried by there's no escaping Got nowhere left to hide My soul ain’t for the taking All they wanna do is bleed my dry CHORUS Who’s that Staring in the shadows Who’s that Waiting by my door Who’s that Behind every corner My mind can’t take no more Who’s that Hear the floor creaking Who’s that Could it be the devil Or an angel Dressed in black Lord tell me who’s that? V2 If I stand in holy water Can I wash my worries clean : Ooooooh If I’m begging for redemption Lord will you hear my plea : Ooooooh 2nd PRE Put my hands on the Holy Bible So the words put me at ease But I keep looking over my shoulder They’re still there waiting for me CHORUS Who’s that Staring in the shadows Who’s that Waiting by my door Who’s that Behind every corner My mind can’t take no more Who’s that Hear the floor creaking Who’s that Could it be the devil Or an angel Dressed in black Lord tell me who’s that? My fears don’t want to let go And still I’m empty to the bones
Sunshine City Elles Bailey / Matt Owens V1 Well there’s few sweeter that I’m yet to know Than when Tom Petty hits on the radio The promise of summer in early spring Let the dust settle Lets bring it all in CHORUS Sunshine City Joining in the masquerade   Sunshine City Feel it all coming my way V2 What’s a girl to do in these troubling times Hold down a groove and blow out the lines Well I’m not one to settle Always on the run Baby I’ve been chasing down the night When the battles hard won CHORUS Sunshine City Joining in the masquerade yeah Sunshine City Feel it all coming my way Well I should really head home But I never seem to go All my inhibitions fade away I’ll make the best of these days Best of these days V3 23 three shots and hot blue flame We be raising hell We be raising Cain Well nothing last’s forever Nothing comes for free But if this trouble it feels good to me If this trouble it sure feels good CHORUS Sunshine City Joining in the masquerade yeah Sunshine City Feel it all coming my way Well I should really head home But I never seem to go All my inhibitions fade away I’ll make the best of these days Best of these days
Halfway House Elles Bailey / Will Edmunds / Ashton Tucker V1 We can't go back The damage is done Stare at the wreckage Nobody won PRE1 Lost in regret Shrouded in doubt I traded us in For this halfway house Cannot be together Can’t be without Where are we now? CHORUS Looking for faith On an empty horizon Cursing your name Just to drown out the silence The taste of defeat So bittersweet Take it one day at a time V2 You cling on to hating Like some kind prize No resolution Not even goodbye PRE2 And there ain’t no glory No mercy or grace I’m drinking to dream All alone in this place When I close my eyes I still see your face CHORUS Looking for faith On an empty horizon Cursing your name Just to drown out the silence The taste of defeat So bittersweet Take it one day at a time
Riding Out The Storm Elles Bailey / Joe Wilkins V1 Well it’s been three hours I’ve still got that stone in my shoe I’m ignoring the beauty That’s passing me by Cuz all I can think of And all I am fixed on is you PRE We’re bound together by a melody That’s somehow lost it’s song CHORUS Oh what a beautiful mess We have made of this story Where did it all go wrong Blurred out all the lines And got lost in the pain and the glory Can we ride out the storm V2 I hide my feelings So they can never hurt you But that only makes things worse A curse of silence Is a verse that can’t be sung That can’t be sung PRE And digging up dirt is never easy no But sometimes it’s the only way To lay past sins to rest CHORUS Oh what a beautiful mess We have made of this story Where did it all go wrong Blurred out all the lines And got lost in the pain and the glory Can we ride out the storm Bridge Well I’m no fortune teller I can’t rewrite the past But I can’t let this refrain be the last Refrain be the last
Shining In The Half Light Elles Bailey / Craig Lackey V1 My daddy taught me to love you You made my mumma dance And when I was grown You made the road our home With the world in the palm of our hands PRE Now fears the king of isolation And we’re an island left alone CHORUS                   And we’re craving all we miss Aching for the next fix To take us high And here we stand just you and me                             there’s a thousand souls that we can’t see Shining in the half-light V2 You know every inch of my body You crawl beneath my skin & I’m a slave to your drug Oh you run through my blood And taste like original sin PRE I feel your rhythm in my heartbeat I hear you whisper to my soul CHORUS And we’re craving all we miss Aching for the next fix To take us high And here we stand just you and me                             But there’s a thousand souls that we can’t see Shining in the Half Light BRIDGE Feel like we living where we can’t be seen Here we are lost in the in-between Reaching out to each other through a cold glass screen Losing our grip on a dystopian dream A dystopian sight, are we losing the fight Or baby shining in the Half Light CHORUS And we’re craving all we miss Aching for the next fix To take us high And here we stand just you and me                             But there’s a thousand souls that we can’t see Shining in the Half Light
Spinning Stopped Bailey/Blunt Tiny toes and skin like dew Eyes as deep as the ocean blue Lungs so loud they’ll stop the clock Born of a world where the spinning stopped Do you look like me or I like you? My heart is scarred, yours is brand new Innocent, so pure and true Born of a world that's torn in two Ooooo The days are long but the weeks fly by I’ve learnt to love in a different life You’re the fire that burns so bright Born of a world that's lost its light I promise you I'll be back soon We’ll sing beneath the silver moon I’m the earth & your my sun Born of a world that's come undone Ooooo How can I ever find the words? How will I explain? We’re living in the same old world But everything has changed Everything has changed Tiny toes and skin like dew Eyes as deep as the ocean blue Lungs so loud they’ll stop the clock Born of a world where the spinning stopped
Hole In My Pocket Bailey/Owens I gotta hole in my pocket Draining me dry Burning down miles As they’re passing me by Lost in the reason Searching for rhymes I gotta hole in my pocket It's the thorn in side The headlines say that it's coming our way but it's the same lies rolling everyday I gotta hole in my pocket And a black book to blame Call it cutting my teeth Through these war torn plains On the wrong side of history As I dance in the flames I gotta hole in my pocket And a wake to my name The headlines say that it's coming our way but it's the same blues rolling everyday  Ooooooo I gotta hole in my Ooooooo Oh yeah the hole in my I gotta hole in my pocket Never leaves me alone I’m out here out on my feet No more flesh to the bone Living life on a ladder A world away from the throne I gotta hole in my pocket And the golds turned to stone Same old story Same damn news Same old lies The same old blues Living life on a ladder baby I got the same old blues Ah the same old blues
