Tuning: D,A,D,F#,B,e
Lyrics & Song Structure:
[Intro]
V: While the crowd is waiting for the final kiss
The one which allows them to sleep well
We'll walk along our own path
The one which will lead us to our own bless
Ch: But we need hints
before we get tired
But we need hints
before we get tired
And We need hints before we lose pace
We need a hint to know we're on the right track
[Interlude]
Ch: But we need hints
before we get tired
But we need hints
before we get tired
And We need speed before we lose pace
We need a hint to know we're on the right track

10. Save your day
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: D,A,D,F#,B,e
Lyrics & Song Structure:
[Intro]
V1: Poke the body with a stick roll it down
Ignore the moaning as it tumbles to the ground
Be brave and save your day
These days are cold numbers rule I've been told
The pattern is clear better fit in the mould
Be brave and save your day
...
Be brave and save your day
...
V2: To cough up sympathy isn't hard but it costs
Hold tight to your life savings you have to do what you must
To save your day
So poke the body and roll it down
The grave looks cold but we're still young
we're still young
...
[Outro]
----------
Guitar Chords (I'm not quite sure if the names are correct...):
(This is the only strummed song on the whole album. The rhythm is quite easy
to find out and I was too lazy to write it down, so I only wrote down the
chords, or rather bassline changes (in the order appearing). Make sure that
you strum more and harder in the second verse):

11. Broken arrows
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drop D-Tuning
Lyrics & Song Structure:
[Intro]
'V1': Broken arrows along the shore
Seems you intended to come back for more
It was summerlove leave this town
It's too cold to bathe and the leaves are brown
Summerlove left this town
It was too cold to bathe and the leaves turned brown
'V2': The sun went down
And with it the love we found
That's the way things are sometimes
Most of the time
[Trumpet solo]
