You couldn’t look me in the eye now it’s on the line
You wouldn’t book me to defy until the final sign
Nobody wants to lose it all till there’s a smoking gun
Nobody wants to take the fall now it’s gone
Call it animal instinct in me
The second sight that would never kill me
A little more fight that’l always thrill me
Tonight
It’s just the animal instinct calling
To the edge of another morning
A little more light on a final dawning
Tonight
Call it a criminal making it minimal – the way it’s gotta be
You didn’t say a last goodbye you just turned to go
You didn’t stop to wonder why – didn’t want to know
Nobody wants to fake it all now its a crying smile
Nobody wants to take it all down the lying mile
My heart is beatable – not undefeatable – the innocence in me
My love is takeable – unmistakable – it’s always gonna be
Call it incredible it’s almost edible – the animal in me
Call it a criminal making it minimal – the way it’s gotta be
My heart is beatable – not undefeatable – the innocence in me
My love is takeable – unmistakable – it’s always gonna be

Was I mistake
Was I the one that got away
Or was it that you held on to what you could take
To save for another day
Did I cross the line
And take it to another place
Or was it I missed out the warning signs
You save for that other face
How could you ever think that this could never end (never end)
So don’t cry those ruby tears for me
Don’t cry those ruby tears for me
Did you leave it to chance
Or are you telling me you had a plan
Are you keeping me there as part of the dance
As you’re waiting for the other man

Cold Outside Remastered

How it used to be is like a foreign land
Seems like boxing shadows on the wall
You know I wanna change into another man
But I know nobody’s gonna call
Take another tiny step
To make it feel like it's OK
Now I’m just running down another day
I can see the sun is shining – but it’s cold outside
Everything I know is hiding – cos its cold outside
I’m not going to say another word
So no-one out there can say I lied
Just got to close my eyes again
And try to remember baby it’s cold outside
Nothing I can do today to crack a smile
Now the playground is closing down
Trying to find another number I can dial
When I know that there’s no-one else around

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
