Grand Canyon - Tracey Thorn

Boy I think you've come home
Open up the door and step inside
So many people who feel the way you do
Their sweetest dreams have always been denied
Lock the past into a box and throw away the key
And leave behind those days of endless night
Everyone is waiting
Everyone is here
Step out of the woods into the light

Everybody loves you here (x4)

Boy you've been on the wrong road
Wearing someone else's shoes
Who told you you were not what you were meant to be?
And got you paying someone else's dues?

This is the place for you just look around this room
Is anybody here made out of stone?


Down among the heretics, the losers, and the saints
You are here amongst your own
You've come home (x5)

Look at this hole inside your heart
No one can ever fill
It's like the Grand Canyon
Look at this gap that's opened up
Between you and the world
It's like the Grand Canyon
Look at this hole inside your heart
It's like the Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon

Everybody loves you here (x4)

You've come home (x5)

A-Z - Tracey Thorn

Some things never seem to change
Kids still call each other names
Should get better, but it's sad and strange
Every insult still the same

Growing up in small town hell
They bide their time till the dinner bell
Take a swing with a bag, and they wait
By the school gate

All this pushin and shovin
When you need a little lovin
A little human kindness
But where you gonna find it?

So you close your bedroom door
And you kneel down on the floor
Cause you don't want to get caught
Packing the bag that your mother doesn't even
know you bought

"So it's come to this" you cry
Not even time to say goodbye
You pack some cigarettes and an A-Z
Push the suitcase back under the bed

You've been balanced on a knife
Will the city save your life?
You've been waiting for so long
Just for somewhere to feel like home

You've been balanced on a knife
Will the city save your life?
Your life is waiting for you
Love is waiting for you

So pack your cigarettes
And your A-Z
It'll be just like that book you read

Raise The Roof - Tracey Thorn



What you do
Raise the roof
Everybody
Wants you to

And you do it with (3x)

And you do it with. . .love

When you do
That thing you do
Love comes through
You raise the roof

Put the music on (3x)

They all wanna dance

Can do anything
If you dare
Don't mean a thing
Unless you care

And you do it with (3x)

And you do it with. . .love

All those years I wasted
Sitting on my own
Think what I could have tasted
If I'd only known

Why did I wait (2x)

Don't tell me it's too late

Why did I wait

Don't tell me it's too late

So open up
Before you start
Open hand
Open heart

Bring it on (3x)

Bring it on. . .home (3x)

Why did I wait (2x)

Don't tell me it's too late (5x)

It’s All True - Tracey Thorn



Just this once
Let me tell you you’re the sweetest thing
The love in every song I sing
The music in my ears and everything
Happiness writes white
Maybe that isn’t true tonight
And things you know you might forget
And other things I haven’t told you yet

Close your eyes
Count to ten
Turn around
Back again
Hit the floor
Then once more
I’m still here

And it’s all true
And it’s all true

We don’t need any kind of big parade
Just this once a little serenade
To celebrate this love we’ve made
We don’t need
Don’t need a big fanfare
This is just my heart laid bare
For anyone who might care

Go away
Round the world
Talk to all kinds of girls
But it’s me you won’t find
And you’re mine

Close your eyes
Count to ten
Turn around
Back again
Hit the floor
Then once more
I’m still here

And it’s all true, and it’s all true, do you feel it too?
And it’s all true, and its all true, tell me do you feel it too?
