Her Heart Goes Boom
03:08
|
|||
|
She waits by the window
all alone every night
in the hope that her partner
will come home while it's light
her heart goes boom
her heart goes boom
She moves by the curtains
with her thoughts still intact
she believes she's still living
but she's ghostly in fact
chorus
She stands in the shadows
sees the light disappear
she hears the door open
and her partner appear
chorus

"ladies and gentlemen the news is in
it's astonishing it's official
we live on a flat earth" (Radio)
In the quiet of the morning
when the sunlight hits my eyes
raised conscious for my breakfast
and the nightmare quickly dies
the church bell tolls alarm bells
yes it's time to rise
and face the unknown daydream
i've grown to critise.
"Yes, science has been trumped by technology.
The facts remain so obvious - no longer can the
'ball earth' be sustained" (Radio)"
In the quiet of the morning
when questions fill the mind
in anyone in charge here
to save all humankind
who are so unprotected
who live a life despaired
by others who despise them
and see they stay uncared (for).
"It's now believed we are part of a superior being's model.
Where we are going though we just don't know" (Radio)

By Hook or By Crook
03:19
|
|||
|
Took our leave from the head of Hook
cloudy, black, and no sky appears
sailed seven seas to the coast of Crook
every man jack one of us
every man jack one of us
The captain crooned and the crew was shook
the sea subsumed the full blown sails
the devil take the souls of hook
every man jack one of us
every man jack one of us

Marylou
03:23
|
|||
|
I bit the apple
Eve gave to Adam
year one in paradise
and quite contrary
got kissed by Mary
who rolled her snake-eyes dice
and so I fell into her wayward ways
I find I can't control myself
from what she says
Marylou
can I come over see you
Marylou
can I come over see you
she says I'm stupid
for acting crazy
when she's with other guys
but then she plays me
for such a sucker
when I discover her lies
I just physically feel the clown
when Marylou puts her cell phone down
chorus
she just calls me and I go runnin'
she ignores me and I go sullen
she just bugs me and I go hollerin'
she ignores me and I go slobberin'

Wananeche
03:21
|
|||
|
We are born on the wind
and the wings of wananeche
we are born on the wind
and the wings of wananeche
Ride the thermal windrush
choose the path to glide
don't be pulled or pushed by
what is fate
chorus
You're a cherished spirit
but deep in waking sleep
so raise your mind above it
and awake
to rare air
just where
you think that
there is no air
wananeche will be your guide
chorus

That Girl
03:22
|
|||
|
that girl
is the one for me
the one I want to see
arm in arm with me
this boy
is the real mccoy
filled with so much joy
she's the one for me
that girl
has the run of town
runs the boys around
even though they're sound
this lad
kind of feels real glad
that she makes them mad
that she can't be found
that girl
knows a thing or two
how to make boys blue
no matter what they do
this guy
has the special key
to turn her heart to me
and to her I'm true
that girl
is the one for me
the one I want to see
arm in arm with me
this boy
is the real mccoy
filled with so much joy
she's the one for me

Even Though You Know
03:49
|
|||
|
even though you know how much I need you
just like smoke what's said soon disappears
I keep repeated just how much I love you
every day throughout my living years
and you can be a changing heart
I won't mind at all
time is short and every living moment
I remember you and you so near to my heart
and in that breathing moment
I just want to hold you ever near
and you can be a changing heart
I won't mind at all

She gave Her Whole Life
03:47
|
|||
|
one look my love
it took from me
one look my love
turned things into make-believe
I told her to behave
she would not answer me
but then I told her that I wouldn't go on
so...
she gave her whole life to me
she gave her whole life
she gave her whole life to me
and now she's gone
she threw a glance across the floor
a knowing glance
I could not ask for more
the seconds ticked away
and so passed fifty years
the time just melted into passage of one
chorus
As W B Yeats once said:
"Wine comes in at the mouth
and love comes in at the eye
That's all we shall know
For truth, before we grow old and die"
I lift the glass to my mouth, I look at you, and I sigh...
chorus

As Time Goes By
03:20
|
|||
|
we've all got different points of view
no hands to guide us
we all see things a different way
no light to light our path
and though you wish
you could make yours
the way of truth
what makes you think you're special
wake up you've lost your youth
hold her
kiss her
love her
be tender
tell her
you once did
you still do
remember
as time goes by we all must change
no hand to guide us
as time as time slips by we lose our place
no light to light our path
but if you realise
you're learning all the time
and that you're not the only one
that way inclined
hold her
kiss her
love her
be tender
tell her
you once did
you still do
remember

Sure Fired Love
02:30
|
|||
|
I know I've been seen messin'
messin' round town with that girl again
And that's why I'm confessin'
I finally learned my lessin' and it's at an end
I promise I can make amends
I must have suffered divers bends
cos there's a part of me that sends (you)
sure fired love
it wasn't quite the glory
they make up in the story 'bout that short affair
I was simply lackin' moral fibre trackin' towards
the one i care for
I know I'm such a spare
but I'll never ever dare
hurt you any more I swear
sure fired love

White Snow
02:58
|
|||
|
you can learn so much
if you stay in touch
with diversity
it's what they teach you lord
if you can't afford university
like 'white' snow in winter
black sand in summer
pink trees at Easter
and leaves - fall.
yes, they banned you saying
white snow should you go
to university
what's the point of that
do you know know you're a prat
it makes no sense to me
have you all gone mad
it's so sad that to get
a grad degree
paying tens of grand
you can't make a stand
against the fad PC
chorus
