 Steve's songs usually start with one line of lyric with melody and grow from there. He does not spend hours debating a tiny detail, as it is important to capture things freshly.
He believes that since life is such a multifaceted thing, it is fine to write about both the deep and the trivial stuff with equal ferocity or indifference.
All words and music are written by Steve Porter

A disaster
It's a disaster, yeah that's what it is, it's a disaster yeah that's what it is
It's not right, hey, it's not right
It's a disaster that you lost in love, it's a disaster that your jobs not enough
It's not right, hey, it's not right
You grab hope by the tail as it makes for the door
Then events trip and stumble, put your face on the floor. It's all right, yeah, it's all right
The one you love went off with somebody new
Now there's no one to lay with and to see you through. It's all right, yeah, it's all right
The first thing I felt when I said it's all right
Was a million doors open and the sun shining bright
A disaster takes me down, gotta get up and then
Accept disaster's gonna come again and again
You hold onto a dream til it comes a nightmare
You swing from a rope between hope and despair. It's all right, yeah, it's all right
All the TV strangers selling that they're ok
While the people in the street seem well on their way. It's all right, yeah, it's all right
There's a planet of people spinning off in space
We're in the middle of nowhere but we still run the race. It's all right, yeah, it's all right
Miles and miles and miles across the aching void
There's an alien in traffic feeling paranoid. It's all right, yeah, it's all right

Binge thinking
Don't think too much they say, cos you might question how it is
Challenge the rules
Don't think too much they say cos baby, yeah
You are bound to lose
Hanging round on street corners in groups
we get suspicious looks
From passers by, all asking why, we can't disappear
And take our ways away with us,
our need to challenge and discuss
the ideas, that our lives are governed by…
they don't want you to be:
binge thinking, I've been, binge thinking,
I've been, binge thinking
but I won't take it to heart
we score our thoughts our drugs are bought
books in brown bags we quote and underline bits
cos there's wisdom in the past
aspire to independent lives,
not mice on wheels with ipod eyes
they want you to be plugged into something
they don't want you to be:
binge thinking, I've been, binge thinking,
I've been, binge thinking

Free
I'm free, free, free as I wanna be
Free, free, free as I wanna be
Yesterdays gone to sorrow
Guess I tried my best, now I'll leave it to rest
I won't hang on tomorrow
Today is where I'll be, quiet here inside of me
Cos I'm free
And it's beautiful to be
Free
It's a place you think yourself into
I'll let the sun unfreeze me
Melt hurt inside my head, so there's cool breeze instead
I'll let the days fall through me
Can't stop them anyway, so I'll smile as they drift away
My love is on the road now
Speeding through days so fast, to futures from old pasts
I'll let my arms fall around her
What took you all this time? But now that you've arrived

From the war in my head
I'm coming home, from the war in my head. A million enemy soldiers laid out dead
All of them thoughts, dressed up to kill. Put into action, against my will
So I'm coming home from the war in my head.
Inside it's blood-soaked, but I'm not dead
I guess I was just in the wrong place. Got press-ganged into moods into chaos states
I was on the front line. Where the trench is dug deep.
There's no space to crawl out, no faith worth a leap
So I'm coming home, from the war in my head
Inside it's blood-soaked but I'm not dead
I'm something else instead. Yeah, I'm alive. Unsteady on my feet but I've survived
And I can still love, if I believe I can. Yeah I can still love, if I believe I can
I believe I can, I believe I can, I believe I can
Once I was a stronger man- once he was a stronger man
I had a goal and made a plan- he had a goal and made a plan
I tried so hard to make it pay- he tried so hard to make it pay
But I watched my dreams all fall away- he watched his dreams all fall away
Time licked my with her deadly whip- time licked him with her deadly whip
I reeled wounded fit to flip- he reeled wounded fit to flip
Bad love made my heart turn stale- bad love made his heart turn stale
So each embrace was bound to fail- so each embrace was bound to fail
Nowhere to turn, nowhere to hide- nowhere to turn nowhere to hide
From the bomb ticking inside my mind- from the bomb ticking inside his mind
Bomb ticking inside his mind
So I came home, from the war in my head, no medals for valour just me in my bed
I'll have to adapt, make a new life, keep chanting the mantra it'll be all right
So I came home from the war in my head. Inside it's blood-soaked but I'm not dead
Let there be peace in your heart, in your head

Golden
Beachcomber boy, sifting through sands
Life is empty shells and waves through his hands
He's looking for love, for someone to hold
That treasure of treasure, when two hearts make gold
Rainy day girl, he ocean her sky
But routines that shelter are poems that lie
She's looking for love, for someone to hold
That treasure of treasure, when two hearts make gold
Cos when we are golden, we shine on
Yeah when we are golden we shine on and on and on and on
we're looking for love, for someone to hold
That treasure of treasure, when two hearts make gold
Cos when we are golden, we shine on
Yeah when we are golden we shine on and on and on and on
We'll be golden

Go with the flow
Unclench all jaws whisper all calls, make highs out of low
So events and feelings fall away, strong knots become loose bows
Release the tension ease the grip, let the true truth show
Undo words and sentences, knowledge is there to know so
Go go go with the flow flow flow
Whichever way the wind does
Go go go with the flow flow flow
Whichever way the wind does blow
When heartbreak comes my smile is firm, in loss I find a way
My mind changes sharp rocks to sand, I make work into play
I'm not the tail to wag the dog, I'll sit to make my stand
I won't roll rocks back up the hill, I'll be true to my plan to
Here we are machines of blood, heads full of do's and don't's
We struggle up the waterfall, while the time behind us grows
We're everywhere but nowhere now, billions down to one
You can't unspin inevitable webs and undo what we've done so

Hope for the best
On the shore I am a stone for skimming
I lay low waiting for the day
To risk it all I'll walk upon the water for love
and with each step I'll say..
Hope for the best, hope for the best
When it's all gone when all right seems wrong
Hope for the best
Watching out my feathers in the weather
blown so low I'm waiting for the day
To risk it all I'll find some wings to cling to for love
and from dizzy heights I'll say
In our hearts there is a future hiding
it's a place where all loves dreams come true
Until the day we can live out those secrets I know,
there's just one thing to do

In the next life
Everything, yeah it came on too strong
I got trapped in limbo, I couldn't last long
Every way that I looked for escape,
Just ended up adding onto my weight
It was nice to see you, but I'll say goodbye
Maybe we'll meet up in the next life
Maybe we'll meet up in the next life
Wished I'd done this and I wished I'd done that
Anything to change where I'm at
But the choices get narrow as the road gets long
There's no place to turn when you're soul is wired wrong
It was nice to see you, but I'll say goodbye
Maybe we'll meet up in the next life
It was nice to see you, but I'll say goodbye
Maybe we'll meet up in the next life
In my dreams I was somebody new
I touched and felt beauty, my heart was true
In my dreams, I was led away
Towards a light to be one of it's rays
It was nice to see you, but I'll say goodbye
Maybe we'll meet up in the next life
It was nice to see you, but I'll say goodbye

Introduce me
What can you do introduce me to someone that I'll always love
Someone new, squeezing through to the world from high above
Made a castle in the air, stuff in there made it worth the pay
But an elephant in the room brought it down to earth today
Been waiting a wait worth waiting
Got a hundred good people anticipating
Saying please... introduce me... . Introduce me
Life goes on like a song try to sing it but it fades away
Try to be a melody make us happy nearly everyday
Getting bored minor chord seems to steal the urge to play
Cross the bridge grass seems greener than it was yesterday
Been waiting a wait worth waiting
Got a hundred good people anticipating
Saying please... introduce me... . Introduce me
An angel kissed my eyes I really saw your face
An angel kissed my lips I had the words to say
Hey... . What's your name?
Made a place made a space made a run-a-run around in rings
Fixed it up fixed it down fixed the fixings on everything
Been waiting a wait worth waiting
Got a hundred good people anticipating
Saying please... introduce me... . Introduce me

Is the devil me?
Is the devil me? Is my heart a cheat?
They talk and talk of choice, but say ignore that voice
It says I could kill the ones that try to make me stop.
What's that whisper say? For heaven turn this way.
No, the map's upside down. Boy turn yourself around
Could I close my eyes and ears and head to their lies?
I don't know. I don't know know know
Could black be white and darkness really be light?
It didn't used to be like this you know. I used to be an angel with an angel smile
At least that's what they told me anyway. At least that's what I wanted to hear!
And I've had angels on my arms. With hearts that fluttered like a butterfly
They wore dresses of ice and fire. But I never got burnt or frozen out
We were doing all kinds of nice things. ‘Til I got tempted by the glint in night's eye
Now see me trade it all in for a pitchfork. See my barbed tail, I shake it like a dog
You know it's a shame.
You know it's a cryin' cryin' shame
Is the devil me? Cast out and on my knees.
Maybe I'll get used to it. Time will make me used to it.
Could I reform, re-group change my mind and make a new start?

If life is slight of hand. Just a trick of the light.
I'll keep these feelings up my sleeve
Which cup here hides the ball. Surely that's not my card

Oh it's so tragic. Knowing that the show will go on, until I disappear
What would you think of me, If you could see me now
Still living how I used to live
If I could cast one spell, Have a chance to change the past

When lack of love's the death of you...
You make your way, you just get by

Hold onto to love it's a butterfly, it slips away or gets crushed and dies

hey, what can you do? Once love has made you her fool?
She dances, smiles and winks her way. I want to leave but know that I'll stay

Now she knows I know she knows that I have no choice
When my head has words to break up- then my heart has no voice
You break the laws of love
You're a handcuff brief case open then shut
Oh you come and go while I reel around your schemes
Your feelings should be locked up- by the emotional police
Hey, how can you make, something real feel like it's fake?
She makes love like a paper plane. She folds it up and throws it away
I try to love and to believe, but if you have to try you're doomed to deceive.
Sometimes strangers faces seem to offer a way out
When my head has the certainty, then my heart is filled with doubt

The landslide
When time finally goes a'ground. And you've lost more than you've found
You gotta let it go
When you're holding on too tight. And you crush wrong out of right
You gotta let it go
Cos when you let it go, you start to flow and the days all blur
Cos when you set it free, you're off your knees and the days all blur
That's the landslide
The past is a minefield of maybe's. Of advice you didn't heed
You gotta let it go
Wishes fall upon deaf stars. In reach but just too far
You gotta let it go
You're holding back the river plugging the dam
You grit your teeth you won't give up your plans
But when your plans for escape are the prison you create..
Let it go let it go
That's the landslide
That's the landslide
That's the landslide

The life we want to live
I thought about it went ahead and dialled your number
We talked about it made a date to meet up under
So we could live, the life we want to live
The life we want to live
We faced our demons, kicked their heads in waved em bye bye
We faced each other, made a promise with a smile
So we could live, the life we want to live
The life we want to live
You won't stop us:
With your common sense, with your evidence
With your wise old words, you're just a stupid bird
Who lost his song then it all went wrong
And now you hate to hear someone else sing
Well, we're gonna sing!
After a while our duet got a brand new member
After a while our trio got a brand new member
So we could live, the life we want to live
The life we want to live

The peace within
I met a stranger down the road, he was hiding in me
He said, "there's a song inside your soul,
That could make your weakness strong,
put your heart where it belongs..."
I just had to sing along.
I had piled my pyre so high, poured petrol on it
Though flames licked up into the sky
I could not burn away, the need in me to play
So there seems no other way…
Whatever's got a hold on you
Whatever you think you should do
It won't matter, in the long long run
In a few years we'll be cosmic dust yeah,
And death is the cop that makes the bust
It won't matter in the long long run
Open your heart so the peace within can come
Here at the crossroads I am making a deal
With the stranger that's inside
It could cost me everything,
but there's a chance that I can win
the peace I need within

The power of positive thinking
oh yeah
oh yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah- well it's such a feeling
Oh yeah. I'm just believing
Oh yeah yeah yeah- and it fits so tight now
Oh yeah yeah yeah- and it feels so right now
And if it all comes true then I'll thank every star that falls
cos we can do anything, oh anything at all
It's the power of positive thinking, s'gonna get me what I want
It's the power of positive thinking. It is gonna get me what I want!
oh yeah- well all my scheming
oh yeah- all my dreaming
Oh yeah yeah yeah- well it's come together
Oh yeah yeah yeah- let's come together
And if it all comes true then I'll thank every star that falls
cos we can do anything, oh anything at all
It's the power of positive thinking, s'gonna get me what I want
It's the power of positive thinking. It is gonna get me what I want!

The rain may fall (but I don't care)
The rain may fall, but I don't care, as long as you're here, as long as I'm there
The rain may fall, but I don't care, as long as you're here, as long as I'm there
Spent so much time searching near and far
For some true love, true love, true love
I wished upon a universe of stars
Shining above, above, above
The rain may fall, but I don't care, as long as you're here, as long as I'm there
The rain may fall, but I don't care, as long as you're here, as long as I'm there
The rain may fall, but I don't care, as long as you're here, as long as I'm there
All I do I, do for love. All I do I, do for love.
What other reason is there? What other reason is there?
Hope slowly disappeared through years
How life goes on, goes on, goes on
Always empty arms and eyes near tears
It took so long, so long, so long
The rain may fall, but I don't care, as long as you're here, as long as I'm there
The rain may fall, but I don't care, as long as you're here, as long as I'm there
Inst.
At last my dreams of love came to life
The world seemed so new, so new, so new
You filled my darkness up with your light
I'll always love you, love you, love you
The rain may fall, but I don't care, as long as you're here, as long as I'm there
The rain may fall, but I don't care, as long as you're here, as long as I'm there
The rain may fall, but I don't care, as long as you're here, as long as I'm there
Vacancy: love required. A true heart, and you're hired.
Easy hours, bonus scheme. Apply in life, not in dreams.

The wonderful wonder of you
The wonderful wonder of you my love, your touch touches my soul
My head might not always be true enough, but in my heart I know
In my heart I know
The wonderful wonder of you my love, your kisses reach my deep
My eyes might not always be true enough, but I am yours to keep
I am yours to keep
You're a signal from another world that I have never known
An alien that's so welcome, cos now we're not alone
Now we're not alone
The wonderful wonder of you my love, your voice reminds my desire
My smile might not always be true enough, but your love is all I require
Your love is all I require
You're a signal from another world that I have never known
An alien that's so welcome, cos now we're not alone

Three wishes
Three wishes, granted me. Three chances to see
A better life, how life could be
Three wishes
First wish, I wished for love. For an angel from above
To get drunk on romantic stuff
Three wishes
Second wish, I wished for peace. For my infighting to cease
To rest assured and be released
Three wishes
Third wish, I wished for hope. For broad horizons, great scope
For the confidence to cope
Three wishes
Rub my lamp rub my lamp rub my lamp baby
Rub my lamp rub my lamp rub my lamp baby
Rub my lamp, make my genie come to play!
Three wishes, granted me. Gotta use them carefully
To have faith and believe

Yeah
My baby just wants to be, here with me
So I can hold her tight, whisper words into the night
Yeah, yeah
My baby wrote a story for us
A great love story
She holds my pen so nice
Writes it with the ink of life
Yeah, yeah
Cos I don't want to...
Be alone anymore
Cos I want to know...
What love is for
Led on a blanket in the summer
Books of talking cats and baby names
Two hearts on the end of a kite string
Knowing we both feel the same
My baby's coming back soon
This time she'll stay forever
My baby promises the earth
And I believe her
Yeah, yeah
Cos I don't want to...
Be alone anymore
Cos I want to know...

You have to risk it all
Take a chance, risk a dance, take a chance
Cos every chance that you don't take
Makes your heart fracture and break
What can you do, back against the wall
You have to risk it all
Live your dreams, you must believe, to live your dreams
Cos every dream that you deny,
Turns to regret in later life
What can you do, back against the wall
You have to risk it all
True love may come down from the sky
The scales may fall away from your eyes
The treasure that you seek you will find
Somewhere, somehow
What else can you do now baby?
The life you want is out there waiting.
Don't give up, live for love, don't give up
Cos if you give up and throw it in
You'll have to pick it up again
What can you do, back against the wall
You have to risk it all

You will
No passion, no pain. My fashion's bland again
You squeeze the feeling taps so tight you will, you will
Leave me dealing with the dark and light.
You will, oh you will
I can't break it, I just pretend. Just fake it's on the mend
You squeeze the feeling taps so tight you will, you will
Leave me dealing with the dark and light.
You will, oh you will
You will it seems to everyone- so sure, so sure
You fill in all the space with sun, but much more
Much more much more much more
You're much more, yeah.
I can't seem to, quite believe. Touch my heart, help it grieve.
You squeeze the feeling taps so tight you will, you will
Leave me dealing with the dark and light.
You will, oh you will
You will it seems to everyone- so sure, so sure
You fill in all the space with sun, but much more
Much more much more much more
You're much more, yeah.
