Good Things Take Time
Last time I was here I was only passing by
Heading for the bus station and far too poor to fly
Oh but I, somehow I always survive
Counting out my currency the road it takes its toll
But in the situation inspiration fills my soul and I’m alive
And somehow I’ve survived
But I’ll be happy to take my place in line
I know good things take time, and I’ll be fine
We’re all yearning to be satisfied
But I’ll just take this ride, oh and I
I know that I’ll survive
The minutes and the hours make the days and weeks go by
Another destination and another situation and another inspiration oh and I
I no longer have to wonder where or why
As the faces in the clouds give me a smile
Last time I was here I was only passing by
This time I might stay around or maybe I might fly…

A Million different
What do you envisage, tell me what you see
Some say you stole an apple some say you grew a tree
Millions of creations in the blink of a million eyes
Endless destinations tell me which one will you try
Can you hold your focus till the butterfly gets its wings
Can you listen til it sings
With all these whimsical wonderings so many stones unturned
We’ve all followed the yellow brick road
What have we learned?
A million expectations if I only had a what
Tap upon your ruby reds what have you got
She juggled round in circles til she found her arc
I have no enemies just some contrary ideas
I can dance forever it’s the only way I steer
I have no solutions only questions and hope
So please don’t feed the pessimist… they don’t need the rope
A million different truths a million different lies
A million explanations from a million different eyes

My Fault

My Fault
From your side I can almost see how you feel
I’m to blame for all this mess
And from your side anger has become a flame
Burning on your past regrets
But something’s a little confusing to me
And something’s a little strange
Something’s been making me question you
And how much you seem to have changed
And I really wanted to put my belief in you
But you’ve turned around now and put words in my mouth
I never intended to take it away from you
But you put the blame on me and I simply fail to see how
This is my fault now, this is my fault now
From my side I have been victimised
You’ve been creating lies
So won’t you tell me why I should apologise…
Because I have been trying to not think the worst of you
But your reality is so far removed from me
And you seem determined to make it me against you
So now I’m the enemy yet still I fail to see how
This is my fault now…

Don't talk to me

Don’t talk to me
How much longer will we silently wander
How much longer till it all goes under
How much longer will it take till we see
How much longer till we choke on the stories that they feed
To me no don’t talk to me
The day to day hypocrisy
Talk to me no don’t talk to me but
God forbid we’d end this movie
How much longer can they keep this cover
And how much longer till we need another war
How much harder is it not to believe
How much anger do you suffer
When between the lines you read
Fairytales and nursery rhymes
Heroic versions of horrific crimes
A celebration for all to see
How could this possible be?
All lunatics in the making that’s the story that we hear
But the cut and paste collection is there
To orchestrate our fear
Because we’re running out of pages
Running out of ink
But it doesn’t matter now if we’ve forgotten how to think
Another childless mother
Another broken shelter
But still more ignorant anger
Does anybody wonder?

This time
Making up excuses for the things that I’ve been doing
The choices I have made the broken plans that you had made
But time is coming round one again
And I’m hoping that time will be our friend
But I’m a little bit nervous and I’m a little twice shy
See you’ve got your expectations and then so do i
But I feel, I feel
Like this time will be better than the last time
I saw you
The fears and the frustrations and the lost communications
When I would not make a stand
And you could not understand
And the thoughts are spinning round and round my head
But I’ve learned some thoughts are better left unsaid
I saw you for who you are and who you wanted me to be
And I’m still a little scarred by the words you said to me
But its okay, it’s all going to be okay

Confusion
Sample second sound solution
Mix it in with noise pollution
Righteousness reveals in God we trust
And not in evolution
Confusion, confusion reality releases me, confusion
Inner conflict - make amends
For our freedom we defend
Power passion plays a part
As rules and regulations bend
So we choose normality
Or opt for controversy
Indecision, delusion
Either lead to lunacy
And if we celebrate our faults and make our resolution
To make it free emotionally and so then we can move on
It is our right to be happy and that is my solution

Six Bar Jail
Though I might not stand beside you you’re gonna know where I stand
If I’m reaching out to touch you, you can safely take my hand
Of all the things that I could say to you I’d say them to your face
But you think you’ve got me in my place
Stacking up delusions will they ever tumble down
Clinging to the anger of the whisper of a truth unfound
So I’m sleeping somewhere silently
Someone’s slinging mud again
Never even opened my mouth to say a word about it all
Before I’m asked to leave again
Well you can wallow in your squalor just to throw it all my way
But I’m sure we can find a better place to play
Staking up defences one bullet at a time
Looking for distractions from those actions that were never mine
They were yours not mine
I’ll be heading for the six bar jail but who’s doing time?

Lonely
You are not with me I’m not used to being alone
We’re in different beds, hemispheres and time zones
I read my daily stars and I read yours to see just how you are
When you’re not with me tell me do you feel this lonely
16 times today I looked at the screen on my phone
Hoping you would say how poorly you were coping on your own
But someday soon we’ll be sipping cold sangrias by the sea
We’ll no longer need to feel this lonely
What a thing to do to try to get to know myself without you
What a thing to do when still my every thought is about you
And how you’re not with me but I know that soon we will be
Making cups of tea and laughing how we need each other desperately
And how we’ll never feel completely whole without the other here
So don’t ever leave and never will we be lonely

Millisecond
Music for the millisecond movement for the now
So much easier once we stop trying to work it out
Madness in their method they were graceful with their step
So feast not famine Friday seems to be the very best plan yet
It’s a little bit crazy there it’s a little bit fun it’s a fun affair
I’d like to go I would like to take you there
And there’s no sense and there’s no rhyme
And there’s never a problem with what is the time
What is the time
Fear is not an option if you wanna find release
You take some tumbles but you’ll be living peace
Stop panic attack are we following the track
One step forward two steps back as we walk the line
And it doesn’t matter and I don’t mind
It’s not like we’ve had the truth defined
Not like we’ve had the truth to find
But fear is not an option as we tumble towards release
You roll and stumble but you’ll be living peace

Secrets
Left for dead on the windward side
This punishment don’t suit the crime
Stories buried for way too long still we carry on
And I could’ve frozen a thousand times sometimes I even tried
Safety in solitude throw away the key til you sang to me
Sleep well tonight
Soon I’ll be there tonight
You come to me in my dreams tell secrets to me
And I know I’m alive
Tried not to picture the danger below
I was convinced I couldn’t let go
Lives tossed aside and left for dead
Pictures in my head
I’ll turn to melody and I’ll turn to god and I’ll turn to anything to turn the day off
I find beauty in the smallest of things and sometimes the cold wind sings

You are
You, you are my golden sun
You shine til the day is done
I will bask forever more
In you baby, it is you I adore
You, you are my summer rain
You bring moisture to the cane
I will soak it up forever more
Ooh Ooh baby it is you I adore
You, you are my big ole moon
You shine down on me when I’m swimming nude
I will skinny dip forever more
With you baby it is you I adore
