Are you listening Are you hearing what you want to hear Does the truth hurt Ridicule it when it gets too close to you Fabricate a story you can tell You don’t need me You can create your own hell There is something you should know There are many paths to follow And this story never ends There is something you should know There are many lies to swallow And this story never ends We are starlight Everything we are has always been Be beholden Everybody wants the same thing that you do Stop believing that it’s only you I am love And everybody else too There is something you should know There are many paths to follow And this story never ends There is something you should know There are many lies to swallow And this story never ends

Penthouse chic he's a self made man He made his money out of bread and sham She works nights it gets her down A dead end job in a one horse town One night stand well that's alright Or so he thought at the end of the night She has eyes so she can see She is the lock and he is the key Nine months later to his surprise She stakes a claim which he denies Then he gets a visit from her next of kin May I introduced you to the brothers grim They got him caught like a fish on a hook He didn’t mean to upset her They got him caught like a fish on a hook He knows that things could look better Do what’s right that's what they say One way or another he will have to pay Bobby has a habit and the twins want tats The consequences are a matter of fact Shotgun weddings are oh so sad But funnily enough she don't look bad And he's much kinder with his back to the wall The not so happy couple happy after all They got him caught like a fish on a hook He didn’t mean to upset her They got him caught like a fish on a hook He knows that things could look better Years go by the kid grows tall She doesn't look like her dad at all Something isn't right but how do you say Could there be a problem with the DNA? He don't mind he loves the kid And he can forgive whatever she did Life is good they don't want for more Now who's that tall man knocking at their door? They got him caught like a fish on a hook He didn’t mean to upset her They got him caught like a fish on a hook He knows that things could look better

That’s enough now lay your head down on your bed It’s time to close your eyes and sleep Those thoughts were only ever in your head The world is lying at your feet The story that we live we write it every day The people that we love ,the give and take ,the push and shove The story that we live, the story that we tell Steals the time Gives a name Sends a sign .. to your mind You are loved more than you’ll ever know Running silent running deep Hate and ignorance were always strangers to you They’re not the company you keep The story that we live we write it every day The people that we love ,the give and take ,the push and shove The story that we live, the story that we tell Steals the time Gives a name Sends a sign .. to your mind

He left her standing in her wedding dress His parting gift an unwelcome guest He read her mind and the rest he took Just like the pages of an unloved book Years unfold they’ve not been kind A vengeful mother and a fertile mind The blind leading the blind Step into your party dress Temptation for those unwanted wolves Remember what mother said No mercy for those unwanted unwanted wolves A bitter daughter with a beauty deep Willing suitors falling at her feet Another victim in a cold water flat Regret is sour but revenge is sweet Men propose it’s far too late Why would she reciprocate When all she has is hate There’s danger behind these eyes No quarter for those unwanted wolves So easy to Weaponise Such beauty to fight unwanted unwanted wolves

King makers and tree shakers Turn your radar on The rain fakers and climate haters Are singing that old stupid song I've got it all but I want more Don't you wish that you were me I'm the one that you adore Isn't that worth fighting for Calling out around the world and all that kind of thing Anyone who knows for sure the man who should be king If you seek dominion surround yourself with bling Know that you will never be the man who should be king Trend setters befriend Gretas Wide awoke and narrow eyes Eton mess and Elon me Catch your breath and weaponise Now you think you're in control Like a dog that's off its leash Any rock that you can roll Any punter you can fleece Calling out around the world and all that kind of thing Anyone who knows for sure the man who should be king If you seek dominion surround yourself with bling Know that you will never be the man who should be king

One to break and one to bow One to steal into the night What to do with second sight He can be eyes Case the mark and brief the crew This for me and that for you Find a job for him to do He can be eyes Temptation grows again Ripens on the tree Easy money the hard way One payday Can’t do this on my own Need to find a crew Must throw that dog a bone Can I trust you Don’t you know There’s no easy way in There’s no easy way out Once you’re in It’s your eyes and your shout One to break and one to bow One to steal into the night What to do with second sight He can be eyes Case the mark and brief the crew This for me and that for you Find a job for him to do He can be eyes
