You are all of my laughter, but none of my pain. You are all of my sunshine, but none of my rain. Since you’ve been gone, I’ve been trying to make it on my own. Consequently, I’ve been walking these streets alone. When I walk alone, I hear your voice against the rain. When I walk alone, I see your face and it carries me home. You are all of my loving, but none of my hate. You are all of a tender heart,You are all of my faith. Since you’ve been gone, I’ve been trying to make it on my own. Consequently, I’ve been walking these streets alone. When I walk alone, I hear your voice against the rain. When I walk alone, I see your face and it carries me home.

Before I sleep, before I dream, when I pray I’ll be thinking of you. You are in my heart, you are in my soul, in every breath I’ll be thinking of you. Feelings like this never end, they make the ties that bind Open your eyes! What can you see? I see my father looking at me. Into the world, you can be sure That in my heart I have seen you before. When you smile, when you laugh and when you cry I’ll be thinking of you. In my love in my joy and in my hope I’ll be thinking of you. Hope, Love, Dreams, Inspiration

If looks could kill then you would probably be dead I wish I knew what went on inside your head. You say it’s true, when you know that it’s a lie. What do you want, and how will you survive. I’ll tell you why I think that they should know I’ll tell you how I think that you could go. I hear violins, not broken strings that grate on your heart. On angels wings, those wicked things, that keep us apart.

Scattered 04:16
If I tried to be strong If I said I was wrong If I didn’t waste my time with things that don’t belong If I work through the day If I drive through the night If I miss those little things that make the world seem right So people drift apart and things just slip away Now we are ships all lost at sea, scattered by the wind Come sail back home to me and we can start again. If your heart drifts away If it leaves from this shore If you go out of sight And I don’t see you anymore. When the sun comes around and I look out to sea, When your ship reaches shore Will you come back home to me?

Three years since we spoke In dreams when I awoke You were standing there. Though it made me realise How much hurt there was inside and how much you cared. I believe when we sail away that one day we’ll meet again I believe that everyone will have the time to talk again. We spoke there for a while and you made me smile about places we used to go. Much of life is still the same like Chester in the rain but I miss you so.

Attachments 05:39
So Look at us now, Love takes your heart, it shakes your heart, it breaks your heart. Now what is left undone, A box of dreams, an empty room, a silent house. So the story is often told Of love that has grown old. Still what we have we hold, Attachments have been sold, When lovers have grown old. Though we are ragged and we are torn, Our love will still go on, When all just seems forlorn. Time changes the world, Where the day to day, and children’s play, just fades away. So this hollow shell Once life was full and everyday was made of love.
7.
If you could live a moment longer Would you see this heart of mine? If I could feel a little stronger Would this moment hang still in time? My heart is in a million tiny pieces. Your heart knows. When you lifted the veil then I could see just what life means to me If you could smile a moment longer Would the pain ever go away? Now is the time, to walk in the sunshine Until we meet another day.
8.
I have never given up on life In a world that doesn’t care. So just believe in yourself Because I don’t think it’s fair. From the top of the world Far as I can see We are climbing mountains Mountains for your love.

The Salient 04:41
No artist seen and there is no green Nor grass nor shade nor water, No birds to fly and sing in the air, Just the crash of the shell and mortar. Just flat drab sand, unsweeping land, And the stunted camel thorn. The outline shape, the stony scapp, And the waddles deep and worn. No structures tall to relieve it all, Lest we give the position away. Just the barbed wire etched against the sky, And the nets of artillery bay. When the wind sweeps free in form the sea, In the dug out’s sticky waters. We crouch down low out of the blow, In the dust storm’s humid shelter. c1941 by Gunner David Skillen

Attrition 04:20
When your back is against the wall, Don’t give up just stand tall, You must believe you will never fall… attrition When this life gets you down When silence is the only sound When the rain keeps falling down… attrition Every dream you ever had, everyone who drove you mad Every time life makes you sad… attrition If you believe in miracles, if you believe in fate If you believe in destiny, the chances that we take Believe in hope believe in faith and attrition. You have been told you are bound to fail Grit your teeth and change the tale Leave the doubters in your trail… attrition

about

This is the third album from Liverpool's This Final Frame.The First album 'The Diary of This Final Frame' is a collection of the singles produced from 1981 to 1988. The second album 'My Blue Heart' was released at the end of 2009 after a 25 year break. Paul and Carl decided there was a lot more music and emotion to be expressed and so set about an ambitious project to create a full album of new songs with very limited resources. The new third album ' Ten Portraits' is more ambitious again, bringing the melodic, orchestral and dramatic themes together with help of some wonderful musicians who were old friends and some we met along the way. It is an out-pouring of half a lifetime of emotions and creativity from Paul and Carl who have never stopped making music since they first met in the late Seventies in Liverpool
