Twenty two- oh - my
your place or mine
I can’t think of anything
even though I got nothing but time
live it up,
keep it tight
I gotta thank you - oh my lord
if you’re standing on the front line tonight
what’s in store at last
please define the facts
I can see the fear in the eyes of the face behind the mask
it was inevitable
that this shit just got real
we’ve a hundred billion questions and were afraid to ask
you can lock it up
you can close it down
but don’t it make you think
you can’t keep this nation down coz we got enough spirit to drink
you can close the door
you can close your eyes
you can close your mind
we aint gonna crumble though we’re living through unprecedented times
over load with facts
keep the fear intact
I ain’t gonna stand out side and give the premier the clap
I’m a lucky one
safe and sound and strong gotta praise the blood gotta praise the sky
gotta praise the sun

Pleased to meet you
I’m glad you’re doing well
I’m feeling precious
like an angel trapped in hell
up the road
they need a jcb to fill in the holes while I sit here in my bubble writing songs about it all
and waiting for the call
excuse me sir
but I think you will find
for your convenience and life
you should be stand behind the line I wash my hands of you
scrub my skin until the blood
come shines through
until the bubble bursts
I’ll carry on despite it all
and half a world away
or seven streets from here they fear reality with meaning as it silently appears
the only thing I know is the sickness of the game coz each of us is different
27
and that makes us all the same and no one takes the blame
excuse me sir
but I think you will find
for your convenience and life
you should be stand behind the line
I wash my hands of you scrub my skin until the blood come shines through
until the bubble bursts
I’ll carry on despite it all
excuse me miss
but you’re standing in the sun
you’re back inside the daydream now and god damn luckier than some
I push the guilt back to my smile
and out there I will run
until the bubble bursts on me
I will remember everyone
the world is standing still
and time it flies on by
and although I am 6 feet from you we’re standing side by side

I was not the one to start the fight I cannot explain who was wrong and who was right
you were the one to come around here every night
so why can’t you just come around tonight.
I know I was distant from the start but that’s how we were meant to be and now it breaks my heart
to think that what I thought was wrong could seem so right
why cant you just come around tonight
and I wont make excuses
for my pride any more
I see the words spray-painted
fifty feet upon the wall
it’s just a simple fact that I cant see you anymore
until the day you walk back through my door
why cant you just come around anymore
so we are not the ones to win the fight
trapped inside our broken hearts for fourteen lonely nights
now I am begging to the sun the see the light
why cant you just come around tonight

Turn this boat around

Turn this boat around waves pouring over
and dragging me down
I feel like I’m sinking
and I think I might drown turn this boat around
I hear the silent screams voices that tell me
what I shouldn’t be they’re louder than
the one I know to be me
turn this boat around
navigating by the moon and stars is sometimes not the way to find out where you are
there’s not a compass
to point to north
when you’re following your heart
I cannot do this on my own I need to find someone
I can’t be alone
I need a harbour
to shelter from the storm turn this boat around turn this boat around
navigating by the moon and stars is sometimes not the way to find out where you are
there’s not a compass
to point to your true north
you’re simply following your heart
turn this boat around turn this boat around

I need this

Blue green sea
you and me
wind within our bones feel the sky
hit our eyes
turning green to gold
it’s all subjective
introspective of who we are it’s all connected, irrespective of where we are
I need this light in my heart
I need this space in my mind
I need this lightening to make a spark
I need to make this mine
dark blue weight hibernate
pressing down on me liquid breath
l fail the test
smiling sets me free
come on around
third shelf down
a golden whisky shines we will sing
turn this thing around and start again
I need this light in my heart
I need this space in my mind
I need this lightening to make a spark
I need to make this mine
blue green sea
you and me
wind within our bones feel the sky
hit our eyes
turning green to gold

That's enough

Rainy day
street runs like a river
people running head down through the storm
I hide inside
looking through the window. I’m on my second coffee and I am warm
I’m taking time
to watch this life go by
I may not get another chance to love a fragile world
where everything I care for
I can reach out and I can touch
and that’s enough.
they cut the pay
but cannot do the job
value is an unrequited love
I swallow pride
and carry on regardless
hoping staying safe will be enough
I’m taking time
to watch this life go by
I may not get another chance to love a fragile world
where everything I care for
I can reach out and I can touch
and that’s enough.
