1.	That's What I Should've Done 04:20	lyrics	buy track
Less time in a darkened room Looking for a song when I should’ve been looking for someone like you Oh, for someone like you Less years living on my own Building up these four, strong walls when I should’ve been building a home Yeah, building us a home CHORUS That’s what I should’ve done Instead of crying to the moon I could be flying to the sun That’s what I should’ve done Instead of lying in my room I could be trying to have some fun That’s what I should’ve done I’ve been denying what was true, but now I’m dying to say to you that you’re the only one Tell you you’re the only one Yeah, that’s what I should’ve done Less days counting nine-to-five Working for a living when I should’ve been working on living my life Yeah, on living my life Less nights in an empty bed Holding on to nothing but a dream when I should‘ve been holding you instead Yeah, holding you instead CHORUS That’s what I should’ve done Instead of crying to the moon I could be flying to the sun That’s what I should’ve done Instead of lying in my room I could be trying to have some fun That’s what I should’ve done I’ve been denying what was true, but now I’m dying to say to you that you’re the only one Tell you you’re the only one Yeah, that’s what I should’ve done BRIDGE That’s what I should’ve done In the middle of these long nights, twenty-twenty hindsight Comes up on the blindside, shows me where I got things wrong That’s what I should’ve done All those years I’ve been a-wasting, never quite escaping Feeling like I’m waiting for chances that have come and gone Yeah, that’s what I should’ve done INSTRUMENTAL Less time in this darkened room Looking for a song when I should’ve been looking for someone like you Yeah, for someone like you CHORUS That’s what I should’ve done Instead of crying to the moon I could be flying to the sun That’s what I should’ve done Instead of lying in my room I could be trying to have some fun That’s what I should’ve done I’ve been denying what was true, but now I’m dying to say to you that you’re the only one Tell you you’re the only one Tell you you’re the only one Yeah, that’s what I should’ve done © 2012 Robin Tymm 8th July 2012
2.	Man Down 03:28	lyrics	buy track
CHORUS Send a medic we’ve got a man down over here He says his heart is broken and it’s terminal I fear The only thing to save him is a belly-full of beer Send a medic we’ve got a man down over here The attack came out of nowhere took the poor boy by surprise He was on standard night manoeuvres, on a training exercise She came out of the darkness, shot him right between the eyes It must have took the poor boy by surprise The enemy has left the scene but won’t have gone too far You can run but there’s no hiding ‘cause we all know where you are She’s sitting with her friends there in the corner of this bar You can run but you won’t get very far CHORUS Send a medic we’ve got a man down over here He says his heart is broken and it’s terminal I fear The only thing to save him is a belly-full of beer Send a medic we’ve got a man down over here BRIDGE Send a medic, send a lawyer, send a priest Barman, send us more tequila slammers at the very least Send a taxi, send an undertaker Because this patient is deceased INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS Send a medic we’ve got a man down over here He says his heart is broken and it’s terminal I fear The only thing to save him is a belly-full of beer Send a medic we’ve got a man down over here Let’s form a band of brothers like we’ve done in days before With a mission to keep drinking ‘til we can’t drink any more Love’s a battlefield and we’re all casualties of war So keep drinking ‘til we can’t drink any more BRIDGE Send a medic, send a lawyer, send a priest Barman, send us ale and whiskey chasers at the very least Send a taxi, send an undertaker Because this patient is deceased CHORUS Send a medic we’ve got a man down over here He says his heart is broken and it’s terminal I fear The only thing to save him is a belly-full of beer Send a medic we’ve got a man down over here © 2013 Robin Tymm 3rd March 2013
3.	Low 04:18	lyrics	buy track
I think that I've reached the bottom Must be the end of the line Abandoned, lost and forgotten Oh, I'm gonna do it this time The feelings built up inside me Now they won't leave me alone Standing here with no-one beside me The voices calling me home CHORUS One thing I've gotta know Just how low can I go? My pockets filled up with stones Just how low can I go? Just how low can I go? Staring down at the river Its waters icy and black I know this can't be forgiven But there just ain't no turning back The darkness fills up the spaces I can't imagine the light All but the most stubborn traces of hope Have been washed from my mind CHORUS One thing I've gotta know Just how low can I go? My pockets filled up with stones Just how low can I go? Just how low can I go? BRIDGE Soon the weight will be lifted As I sink down to the deep Amongst the treasures and the driftwood I think time's come for sleep I think time's come for sleep I guess that I've reached the bottom This here’s the end of the line Abandoned, lost and forgotten Oh, I'm gonna do it this time I'm really gonna do it this time CHORUS One thing I've gotta know Just how low can I go? My pockets filled up with stones Just how low can I go? Just how low can I go? © 2014 Robin Tymm 8th February 2014
4.	Crows 04:39	lyrics	buy track
From nothing more than dirt and weed Plough the field, sow the seed Working ‘til our fingers bleed A dozen hungry mouths the feed Stones and dust and rust and bone Will we finally reap what we have sown? ‘Cause only then we’ll eat what we have grown In the meantime scare away those crows CHORUS We put our faith in God above He’ll make it rain if we’ve been good enough So we say our prayers and bless this earth And praise The Lord for what it’s worth From morning ‘til the evening comes Bend our backs toward the sun So little time, so much to be done (so much undone?) The race is long but it is never won Each day brings us no surprise Tend the crops, watch the skies No sign of clouds, the spirit dies The black crows with their beady eyes CHORUS We put our faith in God above He’ll make it rain if we’ve been good enough So we say our prayers and bless this earth And praise The Lord for what it’s worth BRIDGE I had a dream of getting out Selling up and heading south A better life I heard about But I can’t be sure, I’m plagued by doubt CHORUS We put our faith in God above He’ll make it rain if we’ve been good enough So we say our prayers and bless this earth And praise The Lord for what it’s worth © 2013 Robin Tymm 6th May 2013
5.	God Knows Where 04:22	lyrics	buy track
You claimed to know the way You didn’t need directions Is this the time to say? Is it too late to mention? I think we’re lost out on the road Don’t think we’ll ever make it home We must have missed the turning way back there If we carry on we’re gonna end up God knows where God knows where You said you had the answers You didn’t need no lessons You used up all our chances Well, who was I to question? I think we’re stuck out here alone Don’t think we’ll ever make it home We must have missed the turning way back there If we carry on we’re gonna end up God knows where God knows where BRIDGE I trusted you to get it right I thought you knew the day from night I went along without a fight I see things now, so bright and clear Let’s switch seats and let me steer Have faith that soon the right path will appear And we’ll make it outta here You always seemed so certain That you were never wrong Since I pulled back your curtain Don’t believe it any longer This world is full of many things That you don’t know that you don’t know We must have missed the turning way back there If we carry on we’re gonna end up God knows where God knows where We must have missed the turning way back there If we don’t stop soon we’ll end up God knows where God knows where © 2013 Robin Tymm 2nd November 2013
6.	Dislocated 03:57	lyrics	buy track
Dislocated Separated I’m out of place in this world Disappointed So disjointed I can’t see the point any more CHORUS My square peg won’t fit into This round hole, oh, it’s no use I can’t change even if I wanted to I know what it’s all about I’ll find it in my stars, no doubt That I’m designed within to be without Disaffected Disconnected What’m I expected to do Dissipated Emasculated ‘Til I slowly faded from view CHORUS My square peg won’t fit into This round hole, oh, it’s no use I can’t change even if I wanted to I know what it’s all about I’ll find it in my stars, no doubt That I’m designed within to be without Dislocated Separated I’m out of place in this world © 2009 Robin Tymm 2nd August 2009
7.	No Big Deal 03:35	lyrics	buy track
CHORUS It’s no big deal, didn’t mean that much to me It’s no big deal, plenty more fish in the sea Life’s a game, you get a roll of the dice and a spin of the wheel Some you win, some you lose, like I say, it ain’t no big deal So what I dropped my favourite guitar upon the hard kitchen floor No wishing’s gonna turn back the clock to that moment before On the top now there’s a crack in the wood that’s pretty hard to ignore But I don’t mind ‘cause she still plays pretty good, that’s what a guitar is for CHORUS It’s no big deal, didn’t mean that much to me It’s no big deal, plenty more fish in the sea Life’s a game, you get a roll of the dice and a spin of the wheel Some you win, some you lose, like I say, it ain’t no big deal So what my girl has left me and I’m spending every night on my own She’d no way of knowing, did I want her to stay or did I want her to go We’re all ships upon the ocean and this motion’s just the ebb and the flow But in truth you know I couldn’t care less, so let’s get on with the show CHORUS It’s no big deal, didn’t mean that much to me It’s no big deal, plenty more fish in the sea Life’s a game, you get a roll of the dice and a spin of the wheel Some you win, some you lose, like I say, it ain’t no big deal INSTR. BRIDGE I’m not too concerned with what fate’s in store for me Sing Que Sera Sera, what will be will be There might be days when I’m not quite sure how I feel It helps to tell myself it ain’t no big deal So what that some things didn’t work out, it ain’t no disgrace For the little that I ever got right I made my share of mistakes One minute I’m ahead and then the next I’m behind so I don’t make it a race I meet with triumph and disaster with the same smile on my face CHORUS It’s no big deal, didn’t mean that much to me It’s no big deal, plenty more fish in the sea Life’s a game, you get a roll of the dice and a spin of the wheel Some you win, some you lose, like I say, it ain’t no big deal Some you win, some you lose, like I say, it ain’t no big deal © 2013 Robin Tymm 12th May 2013
8.	Borderline 03:18	lyrics	buy track
Standing on the edge Of another land Counting down the years With a second hand The moon is high And the stars are bright Your eyes shine black Your skin so white I don’t know what I’m gonna find Across the borderline People over there On the other side They might look like me But they’re not my kind No, they walk on fire And they talk in tongues They don’t know right from left They don’t know right from wrong I’d be the one-eyed king In that country of the blind Across the borderline BRIDGE I once knew this song But now my words don’t rhyme I used to play along But I can’t keep time Across the borderline I heard you calling out In a whispered voice You didn’t need to shout I didn’t have a choice Lying with you girl In the dead of night It’s a brave new world And I’m scared alright I can feel the beat In this old heart of mine Across the borderline BRIDGE I once knew this song But now my words don’t rhyme I used to play along But I can’t keep time Across the borderline © 2012 Robin Tymm 16th October 2012
9.	Plans 04:56	lyrics	buy track
This old wreck ain't going nowhere Up on cinder blocks beyond repair We said we're gonna drive it out of here some day But it's just sitting in the yard rusting away This deep well is running out dry I tried dropping down a stone, got no reply Now I don't know which one is worse Can't water my fields or quench my thirst CHORUS What I began don’t ever last These grains of sand they fall so fast When I make my plans I understand God just laughs….He laughs When I make my plans I understand God just laughs This little house is falling down And I said I'm gonna fix it but I don't know how There’s a hole in the roof and the doors won't close Waking in the morning with our fingers froze CHORUS What I began don’t ever last These grains of sand they fall so fast When I make my plans I understand God just laughs….He laughs When I make my plans I understand God just laughs BRIDGE Winter's here a little early this year It gets a little harder each time it comes around If the snow falls deep and nights stay clear Then how're we gonna plant our crops in frozen ground? Then how're we gonna plant our crops in frozen ground? INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS What I began don’t ever last These grains of sand they fall so fast When I make my plans I understand God just laughs….She laughs When I make my plans I understand God just laughs © 2014 Robin Tymm 4th October 2014
10.	One Hit Wonder 03:20	lyrics	buy track
CHORUS You won’t know from where I came but soon you’ll briefly know my name ‘Fore I slide back beneath that rock I crawled from under One day I’ll take this world by storm and in the morning I’ll be gone Yeah, I’m just one hit away from a one hit wonder Yeah, I’m just one hit away from a one hit wonder Stood at that crossroads in the dust where Robert Johnson met Beelzebub My soul I offered up but he wouldn’t take it He said, “I’m powerful that’s true but some things even I can’t do ‘Cause I can tell when I look at you there’s no way you’ll make it” In a bid to prove him wrong I started writing down my songs And now it’s ten years later on and I’m tired of trying My dream of climbing up the charts is broken down and torn apart Oh, I have suffered for my art but you’re still not buying CHORUS You won’t know from where I came but soon you’ll briefly know my name ‘Fore I slide back beneath that rock I crawled from under One day I’ll take this world by storm and in the morning I’ll be gone Yeah, I’m just one hit away from a one hit wonder Yeah, I’m just one hit away from a one hit wonder So I took what wasn’t mine, those stolen riffs and lifted lines That we’ve all used too many times in desperation But when I wrote songs from the heart they came out sad and mean and dark Oh Lord, deliver some sweet spark of inspiration Not just the Devil turned me down, no, I’ll be six feet underground Before I get used to the sound of each door closing But that end’s not yet in sight and I intend to win this fight So I had better write or I might start decomposing CHORUS You won’t know from where I came but soon you’ll briefly know my name ‘Fore I slide back beneath that rock I crawled from under One day I’ll take this world by storm and in the morning I’ll be gone Yeah, I’m just one hit away from a one hit wonder Yeah, I’m just one hit away from a one hit wonder © 2012 Robin Tymm 3rd November 2012
