Words 02:53
lyrics

These words are all I have The wheel is set in motion Its not the words you say that hurts it is the silence Its too late for us to talk The scene is nearly over its not the words you say that hurts it is the silence Gotta find a better way break down your resistance Gotta find a break through Gotta find a way around your defence Gotta find a way to make you see sense With words

Mr Hindsight 03:28
lyrics
buy track
In the time I've got I'll try to make amends To make up to you For all the things I've said To repair the things That couldn't be undone Well tonight there's Mr Hindsight and he's shown me I was wrong At the end of days In darkness realise all the things I could have lost is hard to reconcile what you do for me and the children that we made Well its time for Mr Hindsight to start showing me the way Wanna make it better I don't want you to cry Gonna make it better if you'll give me the chance All I wanna do is wake up lying next to you Well its time that Mr Hindsight starts showing me what to do Well its time that Mr Hindsight starts showing me the way Well its time that Mr Hindsight starts showing me the way Well its time that Mr Hindsight starts showing me the way Thank you Mr Hindsight for making everything right You're the only one who can fix my broken heart Thank you Mr Hindsight for making everything right You're the only one who can fix my broken heart

An ordinary guy Who tried to live an ordinary life An ordinary child Who grew up in an ordinary world I don't know where you came from But in you I find my home I don't know where I'm going to But in you I find my road An ordinary day I wake up to the ordinary rain and then I see her smile Makes my extraordinary day I don't know where you came from But in you I find my home I don't know where I'm going to But in you I find my road I don't know where you came from I don't don't know where you're going I don't know what you're doing But I'll do it with you cause in you I find my home and I know where I'm going to cause in you I've found my road

I can't wear the face I've been given It belongs to someone else I feel I am back at the beginning Staying afloat but tired of swimming She's my ghost How could you let it go Someday I'm gonna wake up baby and feel all right inside Someday I'm gonna wake up and feel good when I realise One day I'm going to feel OK When you are not by my side One day I'm gonna feel myself When you have left my mind Here I go How could you could you let her go

I think my mind is made up To start a revolution I think it's time I stood up and made a contribution You try to hide it But you're a superstar You know that's what you are You try to fight it You're fine just as you are Cause you're a superstar My mind is gone I think its time that I shut up and stopped my convolutions I think its time I that I tried To find a resolution You try to hide it But you're a superstar You know that's what you are You try to fight it You're fine just as you are Cause you're a superstar My mind is gone

I'm never going to run and hide its not my thing I've got nowhere to go tonight its time to ring The car to get me out of here has just arrived at my door Everything was easy not so long ago and now I find I'm running scared, dont let it show I wanna run and hide but now the time has come for my fusion I don't want to run I want to stay in the second city I dont want to hide I want to stay in the second city I dont wanna die I want to live in the second city Some say its second to none I'm never gonna give it up Its not my thing I've spent my whole life running, not for anything, The time has come for me to start facing up to my demons I'm so tired of running I'm dont want to hide Its all too much for me to take

Eye to Eye 03:38
lyrics
buy track
For you and me there is One thing we both agree We don't see eye to eye It starts on Friday night we watch tv and fight its time to say goodbye We knew some time ago That we should let it go Cause things aren't going alright I'll take the blame if it makes you feel alright Cause you want me to be The perfect human being You want me to be the man inside your dreams you want me to be The man who'll start agreeing but baby i can't and baby I won't You want to stand and talk about the time you walked You left me high and dry You know I'm over that I'll just remind you that You didn't say goodbye and now your standing there Your mouth makes sounds as if These things are in the past Get your coat Cause we're never going to last Cause you want me to be The perfect human being You want me to be the man inside your dreams you want me to be The man who'll start agreeing but baby i can't and baby I won't

Glaswegian Lullaby 02:45
lyrics
buy track
William grew up to the sound of the Drum Chapel pipe band Gallus at school He kissed girls under parkas For cigarettes Dry your eyes Glaswegian Lullaby Well there's no time for sentimentality Come here Dry your eyes Had friends with the wrong foot But it only matters on Saturdays Lost his night bus fare home Took a traffic cone back as a souvenir Dry your eyes Glaswegian Lullaby Well there's no time for sentimentality Come here Dry your eyes Fights in the street With his fists and his feet There's no way back home now Running and running and running away There's no way back home now Cross Glasgow Green to a safe house you've seen There's no way back home Back home We're coming home Fights in the street With his fists and his feet There's no way back home now Running and running and running away There's no way back home now Cross Glasgow Green to a safe house you've seen There's no way back home Back home We're going home

Devil Rising 04:13
lyrics
buy track
See the Devil is arising From the minds of evil men Making war without a reason Tells his media to fall in line I said can you hear the Devil Rising? See the Devil is arising From the strings of my guitar Making art a new comodity City lights obscure the sky at night Faceless corporations globalise Just find comfort in the fact that your equal man Whilst your country is destroyed I said can you hear the Devil Rising? Every thought that is made With prejudice and bigotry is only homemade by the Devil inside me the Devil inside you Could you feel alright? Wanna make you feel alright? Gonna to make you feel alright? Want to make it right?

The Changes 03:46
lyrics

Take the sunlight from its sky I don't want to see my face I want to be a better man Don't want to feel disgrace Turn out the lights Till I feel alright I will feel better for the changes Lost in confusion Defined a solution I'll just keep waiting for the change I see better in the dark Where I know you cannot see What is going on inside I'm still trying to find me Turn out the lights Till I feel alright I will feel better for the changes Lost in confusion Defined a solution I'll just keep waiting for the change To come One day its gonna feel better I'll be thankful for the change Some day its gonna get easier I'll be thankful for the change She takes my hand She wipes my tears She clears my mind She breaks my fears and I'm still waiting for the change

about

The album 'Changes' is Michael Doris's first solo album. It was written and recorded over several years, in different environments - at home - live - and in the studio, leading to an eclectic mix of songs. Each track has its own unique character, some are extremely personal others are more generic, however each song stands by itself - as you will hear the album has no 'filler' tracks

All of the songs are literally the creation of one person - in fact everything - even the cover art was done by Michael himself. No other humans were involved in the creation of this album - apart from his daughter Olivia who makes a guest appearance in the song Mr Hindsight.
