Attack & Release Complete Lyrics

Remember When (Side A) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It happened when I heard her name
Same old thoughts crept back again
Oh and grow, they grow
 
[Verse 2]
And somewhere in my, my sorry state
Lightning struck that old iron gate
It's true yes, it's true
 
[Verse 3]
With snow in tow, the winter winds
Smacks you on your cheeks again
Oh, it stings, it stings
 
[Outro]
Mmm
Oh, oh
Ahh, ahh

Same Old Thing Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It don't matter where you have been
The people try to do you in
Every day 'til dawn
There's some thievin' goin' on
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh no
Hurt me so
 
[Chorus]
Just the same old thing
Just the same old thing
No matter how much love you try to bring
Just the same old thing
 
[Verse 2]
You got a callous heart
From being torn apart
Now you labor every day
Love life drifts away
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh no
Hurt me so
 
 
[Chorus]
Just the same old thing
Just the same old thing
No matter how much love you try to bring
Just the same old thing

So He Won’t Break Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Gone like the wind
And the state it put him in
To hold his head high
When he really wanna die
 
[Chorus]
And you know the difference it makes
And you know all that it takes
Is love, so he won't break
He won't break
 
[Verse 2]
He's crazy from the pain
And can't get hurt again
And if he ever falls
I'd feel sorry for us all
 
[Chorus]
And you know the difference it makes
And you know all that it takes
Is love, so he won't break
He won't break
 
Won't break
He won't break
 
 
[Verse 3]
Right around the way
Is where they go to pay
For remedies and pills
To ease their ills
 
[Chorus]
And you know the difference it makes
And you know all that it takes
Is love, so he won't break
He won't break
 
[Outro]
Won't break
He won't break

Oceans and Streams Lyrics

[Verse 1]
With guilt that no man should carry
Heavy enough for me to get buried
I feel death on the road tonight
It's gotten me to where I want to run and hide
 
[Chorus]
Oh, I used to dream
Of oceans and streams
Flowing and growing strong
Where have all those days gone?
 
[Verse 2]
These days I am so slow
All those thoughts and nowhere to go
My aim, it used to be so true
My world had a place in it darling, just for you
 
[Chorus]
Oh, I used to dream
Of oceans and streams
Flowing and growing strong
Where have all those days gone?
 
[Guitar solo]
 
 
[Verse 3]
'Scuse me, now, I got to go
Can't stand to be here anymore, no
I'm sick and I got to go to bed
If I stay now, I'm better off dead
 
[Chorus]
Oh, I used to dream
Of oceans and streams
Flowing and growing strong
Where have all those days gone?

Things Ain’t Like They Used to Be Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I went around the way for you
Did all those things you asked me to
I thought it was the perfect day
'Til she just opened up to say
 
[Chorus]
It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
Things ain't like they used to be
 
[Verse 2]
I headed out to Lester Hill
But that just made me weaker still
She's got the kind of love I need
The kind that's never good on me
 
[Chorus]
It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
Things ain't like they used to be
 
[Verse 3]
Walked into the battle blind
It happens almost all the time
The yard is kind of overgrown
And all those happy times are gone
 
 
[Chorus]
It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
Things ain't like they used to be
 
It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
Things ain't like they used to be
