SMALL TOWN VALENTINE
Let me tell you
About a girl I once knew
Let me take you
To a place we used to go
I think I see you
Walking down uptown street
Couldn’t be you
Not the face I used to know
That’s another lifetime
It’s another show
It’s your final timeline
But I guess you gotta go
Small town valentine
Holding on for a better day
Left with that little friend of mine
As you crash the party and run away
Small town falling apart
Now there’s nowhere left to hide
So much to say about your twisted heart
As you crash the party and take a ride
You want to tell me
How it used to be
You want to sell me
Everything that’s dead and gone
You want to find me
In a different light
But you remind me
Of everything that’s going on
That’s another lifetime
It’s another show
It’s your final timeline
But I guess you gotta go
Small town valentine
Reaching for another day
Trying to keep my heart in line
As you crash the party and run away
Small town panics you
You’re wanting me to take a side
Nobody knows what it’s coming to
As you crash the party and take a ride
Nothing to see here
Nothing left for me to hold
You still wanted me here
But its cold
Cos it’s old
Bit it’s cold
That’s another lifetime
It’s another show
It’s your final timeline
But I guess you gotta go
Small town valentine
Holding on for a better day
Left with that little friend of mine
As you crash the party and run away
Small town panics you
You’re wanting me to take a side
Nobody knows what it’s coming to
As you crash the party and take a ride

BROKEN TOY
When you rescue me
Can you leave me a piece of what I used to be
When you call my name
Can you find it in your heart to keep me in the frame
Did you think cos I’m a broken toy
I’d be falling for your stolen charms
Cos I used to be the golden boy
I’d still melt into your open arms
When you catch my hand
Can you leave me this side of the shifting sand
When you work out why
Can you tell how I could never say goodbye
Did you think cos I’m unspoken for
I’d be waiting for your tender charms
Cos you kept me in a token drawer
I would faint into your open arms
Sleep walking though the night
Eyes are tired from the road ahead
You’re still talking through the fight
What you want is not what you said
If you walk away
Can you leave me the word we had yesterday
But if you come back home
Can you tell me the part I can call my own
Did you think cos I’m a broken toy
I’d be falling for your stolen charms
Cos I used to be the golden boy
I’d still melt into your open arms
Did you think cos I’m unspoken for
I’d be waiting for your tender charms
Cos you kept me in a token drawer
I would faint into your open arms
I used to be a broken toy
I used to be a broken toy

Smash

SMASH
Seeing everything in a broken light
Wondering why it all came to town
And you’re all by yourself
Seeing every word on a painted sign
Wondering if there’s a hidden sound
And you’re all by yourself
Couldn’t find the next day
Couldn’t find the next in line
Wouldn’t mind but you say
You wanted it all the time
When everything’s about to crash
You look down and let it smash
When there’s nothing left to know
That’s when you get up and go
Get up and go that’s when you get up and go
Catching every line that’s in front of me
Wishing it could maybe fade to blue
And I’m all by myself
Watching every movie you wanna see
Wishing that you could make it thru
But I’m all by myself
Couldn’t find the next day
Couldn’t find the next in line
Wouldn’t mind but you say
You wanted it all the time
When everything has gone away
You wreck it for another day
When there is nothing left to show
That’s when you get up and go
Get up and go that’s when you get up and go
Couldn’t find the next day
Couldn’t find the next in line
Wouldn’t mind but you say
You wanted it all the time
When everything’s about to crash
You look down and let it smash
When there’s nothing left to know
That’s when you get up and go
When everything has gone away
You wreck it for another day
When there is nothing left to show
That’s when you get up and go
Get up and go that’s when you get up and go
Get up and go that’s when you get up and go

The Ruby Tears
The Ruby Tears started life as an entirely online collaboration. March 2020, we found ourselves at home and with plenty of time. We decided to write and record an album. We have since written, recorded and released 20 original songs and 2 cover versions and there are more in the pipeline. Our influences have come from the late 60s, 70s rock, New Wave and 80s Post Punk. Check it out!!! ... more
