Just Lucky

you can live like a king
own a yacht, an island, anything
but you just can't say
you're anything more than
just lucky
It don't matter if you're rich or poor
a leader or the led if you're
contented by the fact that you're
just lucky
you can be number one
a superstar, a faded don
but you just can't say
you're anything more than
just lucky
It don't matter if you're rich or poor
a leader or the led if you're
contented by the fact that you're
just lucky
you can be one of us
in the club, have it sussed
but you just can't say
you're anything more than
just lucky
you can reach for the stars
the Moon's a joke, you're aimed for Mars
but you just can't say
you're anything more than
just lucky
you can own all the shops
in the world and pay the staff peanuts
but you just can't say
you're anything more than
just lucky

You and I
can dance the dance of angels
You and I
can dance the dance of stars
and when the dance is over
we'll be able still to say it
I love you
and I will always
You and I
like lovers in a movie
are joined together
frame by frame as one
and when the movie's over
we'll be able still to say it
I love
and I will always
You and I are more than lovers
I feel between us comes a third force
And I know this is true (because)
It's easy loving you
You and I
(are) like players out of Shakespeare
it must have been the best he ever wrote
for when the play is over
and the audience has gone home
I love you
and I will always

Is This Life
04:29

children starvin'
daily the world is in a mess
yet all you ever read about
is some star's latest dress
all the while
there's people who haven't got a home
while economic migrants are left to roam alone
Is this life
Is this life
can't be right
filled with strife
or is strife
the core of life
and in the richest places
the 1% dictate
to most of the inhabitants
left struggling with their fate
no future less you're qualified
and 50k in debt
or else you join the gig brigade
for pittances if let
Is this life
Is this life
can't be right
filled with strife
or is strife
the core of life
governments are greedy
and laugh at your despair
it's not that they're inured to hope
appearing not to care
it's just they've come to realise
your vote is all they need
to stay above the rat race
they can't but watch a-bleed
Is this life
Is this life
can't be right
filled with strife
or is strife
the core of life

There'll Come A Time
03:42
|

|
there'll come a time
one knows not when
but when that time
returns again
I will remind you of the past
the good old times we thought could last
oh my God how we have changed
and all our values rearranged
there'll come a time
one knows not when
but when that time
comes you'll know then
there is here there is no now
there is no past or future days
there is no right to know the truth
the earth is flat though round's the craze
what's all this drama and the news about
while we're all left abused confused with doubt
how did we get here
where we going to
the answer lies in nothing new

I Believe
04:32
|

|
I believe
just as John preached all love to every one
that all mankind turn bomb and gun
against the one (who) put out the sun
I believe
we have no choice
the human race must raise its voice
to be heard
against the one (who) put out the sun
a-la-la-la-la
I believe
we as men
banned together now and then
must turn the gun
against the one (who) put out the sun
I believe
that in time
the caveman will be in decline
but until then let's beat the drum
against the one (who) put out the sun
a-la-la-la-la
I believe
for all that
there are those who won't combat
and drive the sword
against the one (who) put out the sun
I believe
that we may
combine our strengths to win the day
with what's begun
against the one (who) put out the sun
a-la-la-la-la
I believe
no other way
can bring the peace our children say
most every day when games we play
against the one (who) put out the sun
a-la-la-la-la

Good Morning Mr Sunshine

Good morning Mr Sunshine
You make me feel better
Good morning Mr Sunshine
You bring nice weather
How many times have I awoken to your touch
How many times have I felt the need for you so much
How many days would start with the rain up in the sky
The clouds appear to disappear and there you are on high
Good morning Mr Sunshine
You make me feel better
Good morning Mr Sunshine
You bring nice weather
How many tears have turned to laughter from your smile
How many dreams have delivered by your dial
And on those occasions when my world is caving in
And then I'd look and feel your warmth my face just starts to grin
Good morning Mr Sunshine
You make me feel better
Good morning Mr Sunshine
You bring nice weather

New Me
04:09

New me
I'd like to introduce new me
I've wiped the slate clean you see
As if I'm a reborn baby
New me
A canvas on which to be
A picture for a world to see
A story for an uncut tree
I want to start over
enthused with exuberance
enabled to behave
experience existence
I want to realise the difference that is me
I want to create
the me I could be proud of
And not the multi-character
I have been allowed of presenting
to the world as a tragic-comedy
New me
I'd like to introduce new me
I've wiped the slate clean you see
As if I'm a reborn baby
New me
A canvas on which to be
A picture for a world to see
A story for an uncut tree
I want to start fresh
without a trace of luggage
arriving at this moment
knowing only life is so as
ever we might find it
if we lost our own personality
The essence of my being
cries out to be considered
the right to be accepted
and accept the past as withered
I promise in return
I'll consider you - consider me!

Bring on the girls
03:30
|

Bring on the dancing girls
with silver pearls who do their twirls
Bring on the good old days
the upright ways when boys met girls
Bring on the analog times
bells and chimes and songs in rhymes
Bring on the atmosphere
the flower power era and the costs in dimes
Bring on the girls, Bring on the girls
Bring on the girls, Bring on the girls
Bring on the better times we knew
Bring on the girls
Bring on the old routine
the silver screen, the age of lean
Bring on the times of hope
when we could cope with a dream routine
Bring on the girls, Bring on the girls
Bring on the girls, Bring on the girls
Bring on the better times we knew
Bring on the girls

Even if
03:36
|

|
even if there's no space
and God guides you to no place
just go on
becoming more strong
strengthen your body
let life move you on
because
categorically I live for your love
even if the sky falls
and no one answers your calls
just hold on soon they'll be gone
all of your worries as life moves you on and on
because
categorically I live for your love
I can't know
there's nowhere left to go
and I want to let go
even if there's no rest
no peace from your life test
fear be gone - be still hold on
soon you'll be back when life comes along
because
categorically I live for your love

Look what's goin' on
03:15

Look what's goin' on
what's comin' down the line
Look what's goin' on
as livin' life decline
Pity is the short wave
Hope is the long wave
Memories much longer
Dreams much shorter, yeh!
Look what's goin' on
what's comin' down the line
Look what's goin' on
as livin' life decline
Ripe is the apple
dropped from the trees
consumed by seasons
now boxed and diseased, yeh!

Wasn't I
03:40
|
|||
|
Daylight comes
and the morning mist
how can I resist your kiss
Waking eyes then moving mouth
like heavens clouds
like shrouds
Don't let me fade from your sphere
let your pulse hold me near
I want to always be here
I'm the man who said he'd never ever die
Wasn't I
Daylight ends
And shadows fall
I can recall images all
Chase that energy so rare
to find it's gone somewhere
I can't go after your space
My spirits trapped in this place
but I want to embrace you
as the man who said he'd never ever die
Wasn't I

I Wish
03:05
|

|
I wish that I could see the world as it once was
and not the way that it's turned out to be
I wish that I could see again your photograph
but then again it's just not meant to be
I wish that I could touch again your perfumed hair
and sense once more your myriad delights
I wish that I could hold you in my arms but then again
I know that wishes aren't exactly rights
I love you
I love you
I love you
Please come back I want your presence in my life
yes my mistake has clearly led me here
such a fool not realising your my light
without which just darnkness reigns right here
