1. Hot and Cold
Words + Music by Sophie Bancroft ©2004 ASCAP/PRS/MCPS I shiver outside my bed, I shiver outside my bed
But it's colder when I lie next to you.
Can't figure out what you said, Can't figure out what you said
And I'm tying to know what to do.
Blow hot and cold.
You make me feel old.
But I feel younger,
When you warm me up.
Touch me again
Again and again.
I feel younger
When you warm me up.
A quivering on my skin, A quivering on my skin
When you're near me the quiver feels right.
A river runs down my back, A river runs down my back
It's getting hot here, what'ya doing tonight
Blow hot and cold ……..
Temperature rising, that's not surprising.
Do you know what you're doing to me.
Now you're ignoring, temperature falling.
Do you know what you're doing to me.
I've never known this before, I've never known this before
And I'm liking the mystery.
I'm living a song and dance, I'm living a song and dance
And you play me In just the right key
Blow hot and cold

2.IN YOUR SOLITUDE
Words + music by Sophie Bancroft ©2004 ASCAP/PRS/MCPS
In a dark enclosed space you find a source of light.
When something's wrong with you, you wait for it to right.
Tolerant or in denial, quiet self-defence?
In your solitude you wait.
One bite now you're twice shy of your destiny.
Scared to look in green grass, afraid of what you'll see.
Silently, avert your gaze, hear nothing you believe.
In your solitude you wait.
So it didn't work the last time, doesn't mean it's going to happen again.
If there's one thing I can tell you, don't stop trying.
Captive indecision, can't make up your mind.
Better to keep trying what you left behind.
Staying true to what you know, the devil it may be.
In your solitude you wait.
So it didn't work the last time, doesn't mean it's going to happen again.
If there's one thing I can tell you, don't stop trying.
So it didn't work the last time, doesn't mean it's going to happen again.
If there's one thing I can tell you, don't stop trying.

3. Cruel Or Just Kind
Words + Music by Sophie Bancroft ©2004 ASCAP/PRS/MCPS
Have I really been forgiven
Did you say what's on your mind.
Maybe there's things you havn't said yet.
Are you cruel or just kind?
Waiting with this indecision
Leaves my sanity behind.
Is it your plan to mess with my head
Are you cruel or just kind?
Tumble in deep water
As I look into your eyes.
Makes me think I'm looking at heaven
Covered in a layer of ice.
Can you tell me how you're feeling
Are you angry, are you fine?
I'm begging you please put me at my ease.
Are you cruel or just kind?

4. NO MATTER WHAT
Words + music by Sophie Bancroft ©2004 ASCAP/PRS/MCPS
Feeble, You know it all, you've heard what's what,
And still you dip your toes in.
Evil,
what you put up with, you deeply breathe
Sweet familiar poison.
No matter what's said, no matter what's done before
You just walk right back.
You're healing yourself, and now you can't heal no more
You just walk right back.
Forgetting the pain, forgetting the strife,
Forgetting the shit that once was your life
No matter what's said, no matter what's gone before.
Addiction, it numbs your mind, makes you blind.
Never see the treason.
Instinctive,
that's not how you live
The future lies to sweep away all reason.
No matter what's said, no matter what's ………..
Easy to forgot the things that made you question everything,
Easy to remember why you started feeling starry-eyed.
Unbelievable to me, that you can't see what we all see
And yet it's no surprise because you're feeble.
No matter what's said, no matter what's ………..
Surrrender, Is easier, more comfortable
That's what you do well
Devotion,
you've made your bed, you've heard what's said
And move a little further from me.

5. EASY TO SEE
Words + Music by Sophie Bancroft ©2004 ASCAP/PRS/MCPS
Purple shades of pink, colour clouds of contradiction.
Scarlet pain that glows across the sea of turqoise blue.
Golden shimmering sands, glistening skin of sweet sensation,
Stained by war for the rainbow puddle.
Black, white, red and brown, pink and yellow and youthful porcelain,
Beauty in difference, infinite colours.
Silver, gold and precious things, technicolour cloth of worship,
Stained by war for the rainbow puddle.
And it's easy to see life's rich tapestry.
And it's easy to see what the world longs to be.
And it's easy to see the ugliness of power.
Cats eyes lead the way, red to stop and green to play.
Amber warns of change, it's time to get ready.
Wild skies and arid land, in excess comes hand in hand.
Bleeding dry the rainbow puddle.
And it's easy to see life's rich tapestry.
And it's easy to see what the world longs to be.
And it's easy to see the ugliness of power.
Blonde, black, brunette hair, fiery red and skin so bare.
Clothing minds that seem to care, betrayed by actions.
Priceless price of life, only found in paradise,
Where no one cares about the rainbow puddle.

6. BEAUTIFUL PLACE
Words and Music by Sophie Bancroft ©2004 ASCAP/PRS/MCPS
I am and therefore I'm alone
I am a castle in the air
I am a military base in a beautiful place.
To be or not.
A foolish question in a distorted mind.
To me there's no answer, just a beautiful place.
And then I see clearly.
I see clearly, I see clearly, I see clearly,
I turn my attention to you.
To you, to you to you.
The door is always open.
The voice inside my head.
A choice between a dark room or a beautiful place.
It's easier to be alone.
It's easier to close your eyes.
But if you look the right way there's a beautiful place.
And then I see clearly.
I see clearly, I see clearly, I see clearly,
I turn my attention to you.
To you, to you to you.
I am and therefore I'm alone
I am a castle in the air
I am a military base in a beautiful place.

8. WANDERING ANGEL
Words + music by Sophie Bancroft ©2003 ASCAP/PRS/MCPS
Wandering angel searching alone.
Dirty face clean now, innocence gone.
Can we see you, hear you, touch your arm.
We won't hurt you, desert you, do you harm.
Aura of pure light, tainted with colour.
Peaceful round midnight, stressed every hour.
Can we see you, hear you, touch your arm.
We won't hurt you, desert you, do you harm.
And no one's perfect anyway, allow your tears to fall.
One smile would take our breath away.
It's written on the wall, that you're too good to be true.
Heavenly vision, earthly within.
Voice of an angel, singing of sin.
Can we see you, hear you, touch your arm.
We won't hurt you, desert you, do you harm.

11. BUTTERFLY
Words + music by Sophie Bancroft ©2003 ASCAP/PRS/MCPS
Fly my butterfly.
Be free into the endless sky.
Release your wings and colour all the clouds.
So fly my butterfly.
Shine my butterfly.
Shine your light to dance within my eyes.
The brightest flame will burn the shortest time
So shine my butterfly.
Sometimes come visit me,
Sometimes come tell me your story,
Sometimes come land upon my shoulder
Releasing tears that fall upon your wings.
Free my butterfly.
Breathe your tears into the clouds up high.
Watch them fall as warm and soothing rain,
Goodbye my butterfly.
