Headway

Been down this road before
Do we dare try this again
Do we have it anymore
the fortitude of younger men
Then again
this road is all we know
Ooh yeah
Down the road we go

We share a history
We've spent some time apart
We were a scandal in the streets
But that's no longer who we are
The time has come
To change the repertoire

When the sound tech checks the microphones
When our names are posted up on the marquis once more
When the lights come up on centre stage
We'll have a sense of all the headway that we've made

We take it on the road
With a simple melody
A universe of chords
and some clever harmonies
I believe
That's all we need

When the sound tech checks the microphones
When our names are posted up on the marquis once more
When the lights come up on the stage
We'll have a sense of all the headway that we've made

Been down this road before
And we know which way to go
With I wink I must implore that
You all come to see our show
You'll have a good time
Because the show is all we know

Enough (partial lyrics)

I've made mistakes
Errors in judgement
that seemed inexorable
could I persuade you to
forgive past actions
regrettably deplorable
I've got what it takes
I can atone for the
Heartache that I've caused you all
Vindication
Is out of reach
but at least you've all seen me fall

As I picked up speed
I felt every vile
misdeed as the wind cut my face
But I couldn't bleed
enough for you
The faster I fell
I felt every evil
deceit now replete with disgrace
No, I couldn't bleed
enough for you

I've been a liar
A fabulist salesman
egocentric to a fault
Villainous vampire
demonic agenda
concealed by a superficial cause
A slave to desire
jumping through hoops
complete with backward summersaults
But when I got tired
I started to spiral
spinning and falling and this I recall

As I picked up speed
I felt every vile
misdeed as the wind cut my face
But I couldn't bleed
enough for you
The faster I fell
I felt every evil
deceit now replete with disgrace
No, I couldn't bleed
enough for you
