From Green To Red

From Green To Red by Beatie Wolfe

Release Date - Nov 8th 2015

Outside the people like cars are still running
when inside it’s safe to deny that it’s coming,
and the TV’s turned up, so the winds are just humming
to the sound of the heat rising

We don’t want to hear that the problem is us
so we live like we want in our own universe
because man thinks he’s God in a devilish way,
and we’re too proud to see what we won’t even say:
We don’t want to know
Don’t want to know
Don’t want to know
Don’t want to know

So take my hand babe and I’ll walk you to school
where you’ll learn how to live by a new set of rules
because we’ve played all our cards, they’re none left for you
Forgive us my dear, can’t you see it’s the truth:
We don’t want to know
Don’t want to know
Don’t want to know
Don’t want to know

What happened to love - is it out of date?
Turn back, turn back
There’s so much here to save

What happened to love - is it out of date?
Turn back, turn back
Don’t live like it’s too late

Murder is only defined by mankind
but the creatures don’t know for what cause they have died
so we wipe off our hands on the furs and the hide;
We sit at the top with our great piece of mind

We don’t want to know
Don’t want to know
Don’t want to know
Don’t want to know

So remember denial is a haunt of the head
let your eyes and your heart guide your reason instead
when the hungry are starved, the full are still fed
As we sit at the crossroads the Green turns to Red

We don’t want to know
Don’t want to know
Don’t want to know
Don’t want to know

What happened to love - is it out of date?
Turn back, turn back
Don’t live like it’s too late

What happened to love - is it out of date?
Turn back, turn back
There’s so much here to save

Turn back…

Battleships

Battleships by Beatie Wolfe

Release Date - Nov 8th 2015

We tried more than seventeen times to keep this ship intact
Nothing felt as strong as us but now our hull is cracked
We tried to stay afloat and tried to make it back
Safety light was just in sight then everything went black

And now the fear's sinking our battleships tonight
There's nothing left unscathed I hate to say you're right
There's too much storm to see the light behind your eye
Is this the end or should I throw you a line?

You told me one thousand times you don't know why we stay together
If loving me’s some kind of chore you don't need to work for me baby
And every time we rocked a little you'd be the first to jump the ship
Darling it breaks me inside to know we're so ill-equipped oh oh oh oh

And now the fear's sinking our battleships tonight
There's nothing left unscathed I hate to say you're right
There's too much storm to see the light behind your eye
Is this the end or will you throw me a line?

I can't try anymore, anymore
To keep float with you, with you
I can't try anymore, anymore
When it's not getting through
When it's not getting through

Now the fear's sinking our battleships tonight
There's nothing left unscathed I hate to say you're right
There's too much storm to see the light behind your eye
This is the end darling, the end of the line

Set Her Free

Set Her Free by Beatie Wolfe

Release Date - Nov 8th 2015

This song is a warning for lovers in arms causing us harm
Don't try to lock beauty inside your palm, inside your palm
Cos if you think that she's all yours darling
you’re wrong, darling so wrong
She belongs to the night-time, belongs to no one

So it you love her set her free
To be just what she needs, needs to be
And if you love her let her be
Anything she needs, needs to be

Your love hung like iron heavy on me, eternally
No room to manoeuvre in your jealousy, your jealousy  
And you'd say it was normal, to test me like this, test me like this
And try to convince me that's what love is - is that what love is?

Cos if you thought that I was all yours
darling you're wrong, darling so wrong
And I was meant to teach you that we belong to no one

So it you love me set me free
To be just what I need, need to be
And if you love me let me be
Anything I need, need to be

So it you love me set me free
To be just what I need, need to be
And if you love me let me be
Anything I need, need to be

If you thought that I was all yours
darling you're wrong, darling so wrong
I was meant to teach you that we belong to no one

Beautiful Affair

Beautiful Affair by Beatie Wolfe

Release Date - July 1st 2013

A chair sat stiffly by the fire,
It felt the warmth but no desire
Still I longed to touch your mouth
My wooden arm tried to reach out

Single lives and single fates
All connected in one way
Life can sober up this love
Life looks tiny from above

And it could have been such a beautiful affair
But you were late and I was stuck somewhere
With our hands untied would you like to take a share
Oh it could have been such a beautiful affair

So we ambush in the dark,
Our weary minds, our anxious hearts,
Heat is something to embrace
Slowly, slowly not with haste.

As I sit a little stiff
I feel it’s better to resist
The lick of passion, the burning scar
For my own internal fire

And it could have been such a beautiful affair
But you were late and I was stuck somewhere
With our hands untied would you like to take a share
Oh it could have been such a beautiful affair

Could She Be

Could She Be by Beatie Wolfe

Release Date - July 1st 2013

He worked in cameras, she played guitar
Escaped in his cinema, she used her car
Loaded with lovers, he never asked much
Someone who’d get him, the chemical touch

But he’s never empty, he’s got his books
And she’s never lonely, she’s got her looks
Something was missing, I dare not ask
Where was her father, where was the spark?

Could she be something you care about?
Could he be someone to fill you out?
Could she be something you dream about?
There in the park, there in the park

She won’t let you down time after time, time after time
He will take control like a man, like a man
She won’t let you down time after time, time after time
He will take control like a man, like your man

He knew there lay magic that night in the grass
With cards to his chest he protected his heart
Wine filled their longing, words never paused,
they were meant to be somewhere but is this more

She won’t let you down time after time, time after time
He will take control like a man, like a man
She won’t let you down time after time, time after time
He will take control like a man, like your man

Thinking For Two

Thinking For Two by Beatie Wolfe

Release Date - July 1st 2013

Maybe I'm wrong to behave like I do,
I guess I'm not used to thinking for two
I never lied, but I bent the truth,
too many times and there's no excuse

So I pick a fight and I stamp my feet,
pretend it's all you, we know that it's me
and you wait it out, it must be hard,
to love something more, the more that it scars

Baby, let's not compete, one of us will surely lose
and take this little truce and I'll try to think for two

Maybe I'll learn, I'll get there with time
I'll see what it's worth, to keep you onside
The sound and the fury, of two many fights
fades in the light of you by my side

So we will keep walking, we will play on
Gave you my word, I'll try and stand strong
Cos I'm not the best, at thinking for two
But maybe I'll try, with you

Baby, let's not compete, one of us will surely lose
and take this little truce and I'll try to think for two

Too Lovely

Too Lovely by Beatie Wolfe

Release Date - July 1st 2013

Go say goodnight to the bats, that
Sleep in your closet, under all your hats,
Close the coffin door, before
There’s a chill in this room, and we can’t get excited

Curl up in the space next to me,
He said to me, you were my friend, my enemy
But can’t you see, it was all just fictional, wasn’t it?
It had to be

I used to love you, just the way you were
You didn’t have to change; you didn’t have to find her
I used to love you, just the way you were
You didn’t have to change; you didn’t have to find her

Play dead in your head, there ain’t no lions there,
Stroking your face, licking your hair,
Go to that place, and forget that you love it,
Because it’s so wrong

Make up a speech, to preach, when they expose you,
Your face all made up, and make out,
It’ just delusion, a big confusion
(There is no truth it in)

I used to love you, just the way you were
You didn’t have to change; you didn’t have to find her
I used to love you, just the way you were
You didn’t have to change; you didn’t have to find her

And with every creak that this floor makes
It tears the hearth, it breaks the stake,
Until we’re just living prisoner’s of each other
Doesn’t it make it harder?

So in dismay and in disguise,
We bow our heads; we close our eyes,
Wishing that forgotten song had sang on
For a least one more chorus

I used to love you, just the way you were
You didn’t have to change; you didn’t have to find her
I used to love you, just the way you were
You didn’t have to change; you didn’t have to find her

Danger Blue

Danger Blue by Beatie Wolfe

Release Date - July 1st 2013

Hear, with your heart, the last song I’ll give to you
It may be quite simple, but that’s how I get into you

Dreamt of the time we nearly made it work
And you referenced the time we never made it work
It tears me away, from people I think are like you
It seals me away, from touching that danger blue

But no I don’t know what it’s like to be close to me
Words get stuck in my throat and perhaps I’m not easy to read
But I meant what I spoke when I tore you for twisting the truth
And I guess, nothing’s changed, because I am still writing for you

I’ll let go tonight, if you promise to keep me close
I’ll give one night if you swear that you loved me the most
But it can’t be so wrong, when diamonds look dull next to this
And it can’t be full on, risking a stolen kiss…

Darling I love you, it hurts to maintain the fort
But darling you’re trouble and I’m just a kid in a store
And we’ll make Mexico on the day that we fall into sync
Until then danger blue I’ll never break the link

And I’ll make Tuscany on the day that you give up the chase
Because darling, we’re friends, the rest will all fall into place
