Wonder (4:46)

Abject misery.
seems that way to me.
When you've done all you can and there's nothing to see.
Building homes and bridges
just to see them crumble before your eyes.
What did I do? What did I do wrong?

Fighting wars in my head, how did I lose to myself?
How did I get to this place in time?
I'm broken.
I can feel the rage inside, building up like a hurricane,
and I'm ready to explode, I'm ready to make landfall.

I scream out, I scream out loud.
I'm falling to pieces, I'm far from proud.
I'm just about to give in.
I've lost everything, I've lost who I am.
Then it comes as some surprise, a wonder before my eyes.
A saviour has come for me.
To lift me up and make me see.

[Break]

I scream out, I scream out loud.
I'm falling to pieces, I'm far from proud.
I'm just about to give in.
I've lost everything, I've lost who I am.
Then it comes as some surprise, a wonder before my eyes.
A saviour has come for me.
To lift me up and make me see.

I scream out, I scream out loud.
I'm falling to pieces, I'm far from proud.
I'm just about to give in.
I've lost everything, I've lost who I am.
Then it comes as some surprise, a wonder before my eyes.
A saviour has come for me.
To lift me up and make me see.

A wonder. A wonder. A wonder. To make me see.
A wonder. A wonder. A wonder. To save me.

Hubcaps (3:06)

Somebody stole my hubcaps late last night.
I was so deep in sleep that I didn’t hear a sound.
What am I going to do I’ll look like a clown.
I’m too embarrassed to cruise around the town.

Listen:

I can't (5:08)

I wake up, open my eyes.
Look out the window, see the sun rise.
I got a million things to do
each one of them is important to me. Just me.

I made some plans today.
Cleared my schedule cleared my diary.
Made time for me so I can do
some of the things I wanted to do for so long.

I have a cheery disposition.
I'm on a very crucial mission.
To do all the things that I've held back,
so I can be accommodating for others.

So do you think after all I've done for them,
that they will give me half a chance
to do, any of the things for me.
Huh, don't make me laugh.

I can't eat. I can't sleep. I can't read. I can't weep.
I can't be. Be me. Cause whenever I try.
There's always someone there to distract me.

It doesn't matter where I hide
or how many numbers that I block
Someone will always get through and
knock on my door when I'm right in the middle.

Oh please just give me some time
to carry out the tasks that are mine.
I'm a tame dog I don't normally fight
but if you don't give me time I might just bite.

I can't eat. I can't sleep. I can't read. I can't weep.
I can't be. Be free. Cause whenever I try.
There's always someone there to catch me.

All I want to do are the things that excite me.
All I want to be is the man I perceive to be.

But....

I can't eat. I can't sleep. I can't read. I can't weep.
I can't be. Be me. Cause whenever I try.
There's always someone there to distract me.

I can't eat. I can't sleep. I can't read. I can't weep.
I can't be. Be free. Cause whenever I try.
There's always someone there to catch me.

Can't eat. Can't sleep, Can't read. Can't weep.
Can't be. Be me. Whenever I try.
There's always someone there to distract me.

I can't eat. I can't sleep. I can't read. I can't weep.
I can't be. Be me. Cause whenever I try.
There's always someone there to distract me.

I can't eat. I can't sleep. I can't read. I can't weep.
I can't be. Be free. Cause whenever I try.
There's always someone there to catch me.

I can't eat. I can't sleep. I can't read. I can't weep.
I can't be. Be me. Cause whenever I try.
There's always someone there to distract me.

Sabotage (3:40)

You. You stood in my way.
I was on my way to peace
but you stood in my way.

You. You've got a habit of being there.
You've got psychic ability
Pray on my fragility.
Without any care.

I'm not going to mention your name
but your intention is so plain
It cannot be anything else, but sabotage.

You. You stood in my way again.
I was hoping to achieve
but you stood in my way again.

You. You have a habit of being there.
You've go a proclivity.
You lack sensitivity.
You don't seem to care.

I'm not going to say your name.
But your intention is very plain.
You're addicted, it's like a game. It's sabotage.

(Instrumental)

I'm not going to mention your name
but your intention is so plain
It cannot be anything else, but sabotage.

I'm not going to say your name.
But your intention is very plain.
You're addicted, it's like a game. It's sabotage.

I'm not going to mention your name
but your intention is so plain
It cannot be anything else, but sabotage.

I'm not going to say your name.
but your intention is so plain.
You're addicted, it's like a game. It's sabotage.

Listen:

Everyone has a story (3:47)

Everyone has a story.
Some open my eyes and some bore me.
But everyone is entitled.
To their own place in history

(Instrumental)

Everyone has a story.
Some open my eyes and some bore me.
But in the end everyone.
Has their own place in history.
Just like me.

Listen:

Why don't you ask? (3:41)

You don’t know what I’m thinking.
You don’t know how I feel.
Well you are picking guesses from the air.
Why don’t you ask?

You don’t care what I do.
Just as long as it doesn’t affect you.
Well you could learn about me if you tried.
So why don’t you ask?

There are clouds in the sky,
and not one passes by.
Without catching my eye.
The clouds are what you say.
I listen every day.
Come what may. Come what may.

There are clouds in the sky,
and not one passes by.
Without catching my eye.
The clouds are what you say.
I listen every day.
Those clouds in the sky,
Not one passes by without catching my eye.
So listen like I do.
Like I do to you.
Come what may.
Come what may.
Come what may.

Listen:

She's mine (3:25)

I'll race you to the top, and every time I stop.
I'll take a little breather and tell you that I need her.
I'll even raise the stakes, if that is what it takes.
You might as well give in you ain't gonna win.

She's mine. Run as fast as you can.
You ain't gonna win her hand.
She's mine. You haven't got the way.
Maybe I'll teach you someday.

You think if you can dance, that you have got a chance.
You think you can impress her, you think it will undress her.
But you sit on the fence. She wants a man with sense.
A man with some direction. To give her affection.

She's mine. Run as fast as you can.
You ain't gonna win her hand.
She's mine. You haven't got the way.
Maybe I'll teach you someday.

Run as fast as you can.
You ain't gonna win her hand.
She's mine. You haven't got the way.
Maybe I'll teach you someday.

I feel. Her slipping away from you.
You got no chance at all with her.

She's mine. Run as fast as you can.
You ain't gonna win her hand.
She's mine. You haven't got the way.
Maybe I'll teach you someday.

Run as fast as you can.
You ain't gonna win her hand.
She's mine. You haven't got the way.
Maybe I'll teach you someday.

Run as fast as you can.
You ain't gonna win her hand.
She's mine. You haven't got the way.
Maybe I'll teach you someday.

Run as fast as you can.
You ain't gonna win her hand.
She's mine. You haven't got the way.
Maybe I'll teach you someday.

Albums

Sight Or Sound

The first studio album by Jeff Edwards released in 2009 using a basic home studio, some guitars and plenty of imagination.

1. Soaked to the bone (4:02)

You’re wearing some new clothes today.
And outside the sky is grey.
You wanted to go for a walk.
But the heavens just opened.

A million beats upon our window pane.
The heavy hiss and the cleanliness of the rain.
It feels so exciting.
It looks so inviting.

Let’s get wet. Let’s get soaked to the bone.
Let’s get wet. Let’s get soaked to the bone.
Don’t worry about the rain.
Let it fall on you.

Don’t worry about the threads you wear.
It’s only water, and the rain doesn’t care.
Feel it over your skin.
Let the weather win.

Let’s get wet. Let’s get soaked to the bone.
Let’s get wet. Let’s get soaked to the bone.
Don’t worry about the rain.
Let it fall on you.

Let’s get wet. Let’s get soaked to the bone.
Let’s get wet. Let’s get soaked to the bone.
Don’t worry about the rain.
Let it fall on you.

Listen:

2. So blue (4:39)

Time moves on, each and every day
in your own little way
Kick up your heels and show the world around
that you're a happy soul

Smile and the world smiles back at you.
And deep inside you're feeling so blue.

Your world is falling apart and nobody knows.
Your plastic smile hides the weight of the world.

Because you’re feeling so blue. What are you gonna’ do.
It all comes crashing in but you hide it with a smile.

Your broken dreams
the tears that stream down your face
You're all alone.
Black and red swirls from all the girls

Because you’re feeling so blue. What are you gonna’ do.
It all comes crashing in but you hide it with a smile.

Because you’re feeling so blue. What are you gonna’ do.
It all comes crashing in but you hide it with a smile.

Because you’re feeling so blue. What are you gonna’ do.
It all comes crashing in but you hide it with a smile.

Because you’re feeling so blue. What are you gonna’ do.
It all comes crashing in but you hide it with a smile.

Listen:

3. Convey (4:33)

It’s not what you say, it’s the way you convey
Those words to me. They’re like poetry
It’s so fine how you deliver a line.
I could listen to you for eternity.

If I stayed at home I could go it alone
But my colours would fade into black and white.
No sweet words to hear. Passing through my ears
As I fight with myself at night.

So you convey. You convey.
It’s how you say. What you say.

I dreamed of the day I’d give my secrets away.
I could bear my soul with nothing to pay.
To laugh then cry has been a feature of my life.
I can’t lie. At least I know how it feels to be that way.

The relief in me when I at last I can see.
The answer to my life. Drawn to me.
The weight of a thousand worlds goes away.
I can hear you. I’m finally free.

So you convey. You convey.
It’s how you say. What you say.

So you convey. You convey.
It’s how you say. What you say.

Ooooooh.
Convey, Convey to me. Convey to me.

Listen:

4. Take me home (3:45)

Come and take my hand,
Guide me through the corridors of years ago.
‘Cause I have lost my way.
And I need you, to help me. Will you.

Take me home. I’m so sorry. I was wrong.
I’m a fool, I’ll be the first one to admit it.
I’ll never do it again.

Please understand.
I regret it, but I can’t make it disappear.
I don’t know what else to say.
I can understand you anger, but will you.

Take me home. I’m so sorry. I was wrong.
I’m a fool, I’ll be the first one to admit it.
I’ll never do it again.

Take me home. I’m so sorry. I was wrong.
And I’m a fool, I’ll be the first one to admit it.
I’ll never do it again.

Take me home. I’m so sorry. I was wrong.
And I’m a fool.
I’ll never do it again.

Listen:

5. Don't wish it away (5:17)

Don’t wish it away, don’t wish it away. Oh no.
Don’t wish it away, don’t wish it away.

You told yourself a million times.
That you never got it right,
And all the wrong things happen
At the wrong time.
You feel the victim in the middle
Burning ears and eyes.
And that you’re paying
for someone else’s lies.

Sometimes you hope that you can sleep.
The months, the weeks, the days.
So you could wake up
When everything’s ok.
But think before you close your eyes.
Every second that you see.
Is a second of your life.

Don’t wish it away, don’t wish it away. No no.
Don’t wish it away, don’t wish it away.

You’re already losing
A third of your days
Filled with senseless indications
And imaginary haze
Your emotional empires
Fall and rise again.
You feel the warmth of the sun,
And get soaked by the rain.
Sometimes there’s things that surprise you.
Sometimes they make you sigh.
Sometimes you have everything.
Sometimes you just get by.
You go low, you get high.
You laugh, you cry,
Every second that you see
Is a second of you life

Don’t wish it away, don’t wish it away. Oh no.
Don’t wish it away, don’t wish it away.
Don’t wish it away, don’t wish it away.
Don’t wish it away, don’t wish your life away.

Don’t wish it away, don’t wish it away.
Don’t wish it away, don’t wish your life away.

Listen:

6. Broadcast fantasy (3:44)

I missed it again,
I didn’t get home in time for my favourite show.
I wanted to see who’s sleeping with who,
and who’s ill from a contract review.
And who has blown up the coffee shop.
And has the long lost lover finally shown up.

I’m wasting my life.
I could be checking out events in the real world.
It’s funny but I
Am addicted to the broadcast fantasy.

I missed it again,
I’ve been waiting for the fictional mission, in high definition.
The reckless cause,
and at the moment of greatest tension. A commercial suspension.
Running alone in a battle zone.
And the only harm is a scratch on the arm.

I’m wasting my life.
I could be living my days in the real world.
It’s funny but I
Am addicted to the broadcast fantasy.

I missed it again.
The man who got shot drowned and maimed and came back to life.
And the child that grew up so fast,
and now they look like somebody else.
All the stories they choose seem to shadow the news.
With a moral twist for me and you.

I’m wasting my life.
I could be checking out events in the real world.
It’s funny but I
Am addicted to the broadcast fantasy.

I’m wasting my life.
I could be having some fun in the real world.
It’s funny but I
Am addicted to the broadcast fantasy

Listen:

7. Keep on waiting (The stood up song) (4:29)

The time and place. Here I am.
Tapping my feet.
Maybe you forgot where were supposed to me.
‘Cause you’re not here and it’s troubling me.

I’ll just keep on waiting.
I’ll just keep on waiting for you.
Look down at my watch.
Make sure it’s not too fast.
It’s getting late.

It’s nearly time to go home.
And I’ll be going on my own. All alone.
Maybe you forgot that we were supposed to meet.
‘Cause you’re not here and it’s troubling me.

I’ll just keep on waiting.
I’ll just keep on waiting for you.
Look down at my watch.
Make sure it’s not too fast.
It’s getting late.
I’ll just keep on waiting.
I’ll just keep on waiting for you.
Look down at my watch.
Make sure it’s not too fast.
It’s getting late.

I’ll just keep on waiting.
I’ll just keep on waiting for you.
Look down at my watch.
Make sure it’s not too fast.
It’s getting late.

I’ll just keep on waiting.
I’ll just keep on waiting for you.
Look down at my watch.
Make sure it’s not too fast.
It’s getting late.
It’s getting late.
It’s getting late.
But I’ll just keep on waiting.

Listen:

8. Escape (4:10)

All the time she had held my mind.
I had stood in line like a child.
Every day I was taken away
From the place, I felt that I belonged.

Wicked days in so many ways.
I have never been. Never been the same.
Looking hungry at the handle on the door.
I walk outside.

I just wanted to escape.
Just wanted to escape.
All the reasons in my head.
That would take me away.

I just wanted to be free.
To live my life alone.
Get out of living in a war zone
And live peaceful on my own.
Free my mind from the countless tears,
And the countless years since I can’t remember when.
Chasing you was a sport I chose not to do.
I turned around and ran the other way.

I just wanted to escape.
Just wanted to escape.
All the reasons in my head.
That would take me away.

I just wanted to be free.
To live my life alone.
Get out of living in a war zone
And live peaceful on my own.

Ooooh. Ah-ooooh.

I just wanted to escape.
Just wanted to escape.
I just wanted to be free.
Just wanted to be free.

Listen:

9. Twist of fate (5:02)

When you think that you know.
Everything that’s gonna happen.
The sea pulls out.
Then comes crashing back to shore.

You dig a hole so deep.
That you could never climb out.
Then the last one you think.
Puts a ladder down for you.
You can only put it down.
To a twist of fate.

You can walk down your road.
And everything seems so familiar.
Although buildings are the same.
There’s different people every day.

There’s a face that you know.
The one you think who’s trying to kill you.
Then they walk up to you.
And kiss you gently on the head.
You can only put it down.
To a twist of fate.

Ooh. Ooh.

Oh you think you know.
You think you know.
Oh don’t you hate.
That twist of fate.

Oh you think you know.
You think you know.
Oh don’t you hate.
That twist of fate.
That twist of fate.
That twist of fate.

Listen:

10. Blow away (5:17)

All over the land, there’s a layer of sand.
I let is slip through my hands.
There’s too many beaches on too many desert islands.
I think I’ve learned my lesson,

and in every deed there’s an unopened seed,
That is waiting for the rains of fate,
and when you walk away, the seed begins to grow,
and it turns all that love into hate.

What am I gonna do about you.
I said what am I gonna do about you.
I wish it would blow away.
I wish it would just blow away,
but you just keep on picking up those handfuls of sand,
and you just keep on thinking about the past.

In every deed there’s an unopened seed,
That is waiting on the rains of fate,
and when you walk away, that seed begins to grow,
and it turns all that love into hate.

Well what am I gonna do about you.
I said what am I gonna do about you.
I wish it would blow away.
I wish it would just blow away,
but you just keep on picking up those handfuls of sand,
and you just keep on thinking about the past.

All over the land, there are layers of sand.
That have slipped through my hand.
There’s too many beaches on too many desert islands.
I think I’ve learned my lesson.

Listen:

11. Unknown (3:35)

Lying horizontal.
Lift my body out of bed and get ready again.
The sun is up. I’m looking through my window,
and yeah, It’s just another day.

How sad of me to miss the only thing I need.
Concerned about if this is all I’m ever gonna be.

I guess my life’s unknown.
I could stay here on my own.
Or maybe someone will come along,
and screw with my plans.

I guess my life is unknown.
I could stay here on my own.
Or maybe someone will come along,
and screw with my plans.

How sad of me to miss the only thing I need.
Thinking to myself if this is all I’m gonna be.

I guess my life’s unknown.
I could stay here on my own.
Or maybe someone will come along,
and screw with my plans.

I have to say that it’s pretty much unknown.
Will you throw this misfit a bone.
Or are you afraid to come along.
Will you screw with my plans.

Listen:

12. Counting down the days (3:50)

I’m constantly on edge.
Because I know it isn’t far away now.
I’m wearing circles in my carpet.
Pacing around and around.

I tear another page from the desktop calender.
That I picked up for free.
Well I wouldn’t want to wish my life away.
But time’s not going fast enough for me,

and I’m counting down the days.
That I can be with you,
and I’m counting all the ways.
That I can tell you that I love you,
and the hands on the clock. They never stop.
They never seem to move as well,
and I’m waiting in my place.
I can’t wait to see your face.
To feel you. To hold you. To love you.
To be with you again.

Playing games with my hands.
I’m fooling around with nothing to do.
My head’s got a want. My heart’s got a need.
If I could make time travel at high speed.

Well I’m counting down the days.
That I can be with you,
and I’m counting all the ways.
That I can tell you that I love you,
and the hands on the clock. They never stop.
They never seem to move as well,
and I’m waiting in my place.
I can’t wait to see your face.
To feel you. To hold you. To love you.

To love you.

Listen:

13. Sight Or Sound (3:31)

Am I blind, or can I see.
‘Cause I’m bumping into things
That are right in front of me.

My compass is spinning.
Drifting aimlessly.
I can’t read the stars tonight.
I’m lost at sea.

I’ve got no eyes to see you smile.
There’s no distinction between dark and light.
No horizon between earth and sky.

I’ve got no hands to feel my way.
I’ve got an illness without a name.
No touch, no taste, no smell.
No sight or sound.

I’ve got no eyes to see you smile.
There’s no distinction between dark and light.
No horizon between earth and sky.

I’ve got no hands to feel my way.
I’ve got an illness without a name.
No touch, no taste, no smell.
No sight or sound.

Listen:

14. When I grow (4:34)

When I grow, I grow with you.
I can feel all the pain you feel.
I’m gonna stick with you.

I am not gonna run away.
At the slightest sign of trouble.
I’m gonna stick with you.
I’m gonna stick with you.

When I grow.
When I grow.
When I grow.
When I grow.
I grow with you.

When the tears come down your face.
I’ll be there to wipe them dry.
‘Cause I’m gonna stick with you.

I will hold you tighter still.
When other heroes would run away.
I’m gonna stay with you.
Yeah, I’m gonna stay with you.

When I grow.
When I grow.
When I grow.
When I grow.
I grow with you.
I grow with you.

Listen:

15. You think it's all over (4:32)

You think it's all over.
You think it's all over.
But I'm gonna show you how to live again.

Ripped apart a heart that nobody can mend.
Left you feeling that your life is at an end.
The same old story keeps on playing in your mind.
Can't see beyond the day the future is so blind.

You feel rejected. Exiled from the human race.
Don't feel the need to run and keep up with the pace.
There are countless other people just like you.
Who needs someone who understands the heartache too.

You think it's all over.
You think it's all over.
You think it's all over now.

You think it's all over.
You think it's all over.
But I'm gonna show you how to live again.

All of those souls.
Who need a loving hand to hold,
and you say...

You think it's all over.
You think it's all over.
You think it's all over now.

You think it's all over.
You think it's all over.
But I'm gonna show you how to live again.

You think it's all over.
You think it's all over.
You think it's all over now.

You think it's all over.
You think it's all over.
But I'm gonna show you how to live again.

You think it's all over.
You think it's all over.
Now can you comprehend, that now is when
To live again.
