LYRICS FOR THE CD - 4 PAGES
She’s Mean
She moves just like a reptile, she creeps round all the while,
She’s mean but she don’t frighten me none
Her clothes fit like a dovetail, she sleeps on a bed of nails,
She’s mean but she don’t frighten me none
She laugh, she don’t cry, she lives she ain’t gonna die
She’s mean but she don’t frighten me none
Whiskey no coca cola, all night long she remain sober
She’s mean but she don’t frighten me none
Jack boots, feline Gestapo, yes please are words she don’t know
She’s mean but she don’t frighten me none
Her name it escapes me, her game it elates me
She’s keen and she’s got me on the run.
Thursday’s Child
I’ll tell you all I know if it’ll please ya, or take you far away if it’s easier
Why don’t you take me now cos I’m ready, and all you said before don’t impress me
It’s the same old situation and you know it, A child’s infatuation and it’s showing
Why don’t you take me now cos I’m ready, and all you said before don’t impress me
Midday Man
Live the lie, lie to live, makes me die hear your soul like a sieve
All the words are pouring through, ain’t nothing left inside of you
By the way you’re wasting your time, you lost your way now you’re losing your mind
I can see, I can feel, I don’t know you but that’s just as well
You’re talking shop you think you fool the world about, your pigeon stool
Oh midday man does the office miss you, no chance
Up and down, around and around, lips a blur at the speed of sound
Midday man is anybody listening, no chance
Your mouth so big, your brain so small, you could talk before you could crawl
Midday man does your woman miss you, no chance
All alone though in a crowd, words are silent but spoken aloud
Oh midday man does anybody care? No chance
Don’t Drink
I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t womanize
The only thing I ever did wrong was tell lies
I don’t drink don’t smoke, I only tell lies
I don’t speed I don’t burn and no highway terrorize
It’s such a shame this do-goody boy don’t drive
I don’t speed don’t burn, because I don’t drive
I don’t preach I don’t teach I don’t verbalize
I got no opinions at all it’s a guise
I don’t preach don’t teach
I just hide behind my guise
Sleepwalking
Come inside blow your mind let’s leave this crazy world behind
Let them say what they may this new found place is yours and mine
Virtue says, greed just does, the creature stands and claims his foes
In the mind so sublime what you can’t see the dreamer does
And it’s tearing me apart but what can I do
In the hours of darkness
The truth comes crashing through
Broken skies or seas of fire we can be anywhere we want tonight
They don’t know where we go to future days or back in time
Make your move ain’t no rules this land is fit for kings and fools
Burning up breaking out you can cry but no one hears you shout
But it makes me feel so good, don’t be scared my friend
Nocturnal desperation
Will reach us in the end
Clapham Wood
Revealed this hallowed place ‘neath bended bough and every face
Is watching but unseen and spirits dance before unholy queen
Where time is standing still and summer nights have winter chill
Where angels fear to tread and sinners plead or so it’s said
The silent trees can tell no lies reaching upwards through darkened skies
Mother won’t you help me please with heavy heart I’m on my knees
There’s no salvation here all innocence has disappeared
No shadows cast no secrets told my light is black my blood runs cold
Dark forces all around they will not be denied
Life’s fates and fortunes flicker past unveiled before my eyes
I hear the magic storm or could it be in my head
Subconscious is drifting far away I’ve got to keep moving got to keep one step ahead
Striving ever forward towards the distant void
Nothing can reprieve me from the fear I feel inside
Tomorrow seems so far away inside my weary heart
The scarlet leaves and twisted oaks have my vision scarred
Laughing eyes are all I see my pulse begins to race
Amid confusion and despair searching for a resting place
The night is closing in the mystery unfolds
Here I stand alone condemned within this world
I open up my eyes and wonder how I chanced upon this place
There’s calmness all around me the tears have dried on my face
Light is shining through the trees I shall find safety soon
Won’t someone hear me please before the sun is eclipsed by the moon
Illusion
Life’s an illusion life is a lie, all as on day one as clear as the sky
Is there a way out is the race run, terminal distance at birth the gun
Left is the wrong turn right is the same, forward you may learn there is no gain
Life is the jailer time is the key, unseen assailer please set me free
Let it Roll
You try so hard but you don’t fool me, I see right through your insincerity
Your bed so warm but your heart’s so cold, don’t want to be alone
Express yourself with your head held down, the way you live is evident all around
Got a one track mind screaming overload, it gets so hard on that rocky road
You turned your back on the friends you knew maybe one day soon they’ll come back to you
What you trying to prove, what you want to say, its attention you crave
Daddy always tries to do the best he can while mummy’s in the arms of another man
Getting ready to let it roll, getting ready to make things roll
People always say you gonna mess with me but I ain’t so blind that I can’t see
And I ain’t ever gonna let go, getting ready to let it roll
Away
Away towards the sister sun, a dream maybe or a new day begun
And you know I can’t tell, and you know that as well as me
I must be moving on, I’m on my way, it’s not an illusion I’m leaving today
And you know I can’t tell, and you know that as well as me
We are all blades of grass in the wind, let’s make a new start, see if we can begin
And you know I can’t tell, and you know that as well as me
Rattlesnake Shakedown
There was a time I’m sure you knew
W could do no wrong together our skies were always blue
Now that’s all changed been rearranged
The clouds are looming overhead coming straight for me and you
Don’t try and tell me you can’t see what’s coming down
This game of life can be so hard, take a little look around
The pictures say you want to play
Some silly game that you can’t lose but still you’ll find a way
To undermine who you can find
It’s all set out in front of you or is it just a step behind
Don’t try and tell me you can’t see what’s coming down
This game of life can be so hard, take a little look around
The Dealer
The Dealer doesn’t care how you feel
He just wants your money and all that you want is the thrill
The Dealer sees you wasting away
Come on take your pick it’s your life that you’re losing today
No money there’ll be no compromise
He’ll show you no mercy then build up your hopes with his lies
He’ll take you the real hand over fist
But you need to forget all your problems that don’t exist
Can you look into my eyes and tell me what you’re gonna do when he’s gone
But it’s all so easy for me because I see so clearly what’s going on
Wait for me please don’t close your eyes don’t walk away from me now
Remember all those tears I cried, look to your heart let me show you how
Don’t walk away please don’t walk away from me now
Bloody Mary
Hard drinking woman let me tell you some home truths
Listen closely only once you’ll hear my news sad news
I been watching you the way you hang those hips
You move much sweeter with every glass you sip
Street walking back talking you’re high and dry
Hot lover move over you’re in my sights oh Mary
Take a chance come along and play my game
Another night goes by but it’s all the same
No aspirations no dreams of what might be
Just complications and its there for all to see
Stop crying you’re high flying all burned away
Another shot from an empty bottle hear me say oh Mary
Survivor
I can’t see, I can’t feel, I don’t move because I’m on wheels, but I ain’t dead so it’s alright
Said I can’t see, I can’t feel, I don’t move because I’m on wheels, but I ain’t dead so it’s alright
Looking for Love
Lonely day is done
And I’m still on my own
I try and force a smile
Remembering days long gone
When I read that note you left
I wept for days and days
But I still cannot forget
Do you remember what you said
You called me a liar said I was a fake
When you called me a loser it’s more
Than a man could take
Still trying hard to find
Answers to break the clue
One day you’ll look behind
And see a nightmare chasing you
Maybe we could have made it
But now we’ll never know
You never tried explaining
The night you didn’t show
Got my life in a circle don’t even know my name
And when you turned your back you left me
All alone again
