Perfect world - By Martin Fagan
In a perfect world, no master and servant
No rich and poor, no crime and punishment
No more black and white, no more black and white.
In a perfect world you would see me for what I am,
Painfully shy and unsure of my way, in a perfect world
we would not be here.
Chorus
In a perfect world, a round sphere hanging like a jewel in the sky
Meanwhile we tear the skin of each others backs under a perfect sun,
A perfect sun… A perfect sun …..
In a perfect world anything is possible
No limitations or barriers in our way
Balance , equilibrium, a solid state
The perfect answer around every corner
In a perfect world, No regrets,
No drowning sorrows, or second guessing - motivations
All actions carried out with the best intentions
The perfect balance, a trade off, equaliser.
Chorus
In a perfect world you would not have to ask the question
It requires a higher state, and more refinement, than we are capable of
Can we get there, oh can we get there.

These Are My Streets

These are my streets – Martin Fagan
A drunk on the corner talks to the wall
And the rain pours down
And the world keeps turning
These are my Streets / These are My streets
The wind rattles through steel
Sounds like an old lung
Desolation is real
You can feel it heave and sigh
These are my Streets / These are My streets
A thousand flags fly by
A thousand lonely streets
You know me so well
Cos these are my streets
These are my streets / These are My streets
These are my streets – Not easy to love
They bear the scars, they bear the pain
Take back control of the things that count
It’s time for us to be free

Nothing Really Matters
04:13

Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters, except the things that do
We are a jumble of atoms racing through the universe
Lighten up, it’s easy to say
But light is all we have to show the way
When did it get serious
We started to grind through
Get back to the essence
Simplicity is beautiful. ……..
Nothing really matters when you are on your knees
And you are ground down to excess
Fashion a new groove and think …
I couldn’t care less
When did it get serious
We started to grind through
Get back to the essence
Simplicity is beautiful. ……..
Nothing really matters
You can feel it’s true
Do the best you can
And then move through
Cos Simplicity is beautiful
End ….

Kaleidoscope Horizons

Kaleidoscope horizons
Sinews stretch over hairline cracks
A concrete stare, my mask
Nothing seems easy when you see things this way.
Things have to change
You have to believe in a better future
Then it all makes sense
Don’t get low, there are heights to climb
There are kaleidoscope horizons
You gotta get out there fast, you know it won’t last
This is a universal truth
The colours of the rainbow are the parts you see
There's so much more in the spectrum of belief
A place not pre-determined
I am you and you are me
Really let go to receive the key
I’m fed up with your phony wars
It's not us against them
Fed on a diet of lies
It's not a world of the sane
Kaleidoscope Horizons ...

Deep Dive
Please don’t cry
There is no why
I know you feel it
I feel it too
I need you in my corner
Cos you just never know
I sense a rainbow
Different shades of black
One deliberate step
No going back
I don’t care how we get there
Just as long as we do
A heart of steel can turn to rust
An ocean of dreams becomes dust
I sense a Rainbow,
Different Hues
The brightness renews
Don’t take a deep dive into oblivion
Come up for air
Don’t think too much
You are light to carry when you lose this weight

Verdant Territory

Verdant Territory
People are dying in the street
And burning in their beds
Inequality is growing
And patience is wearing thin
The mansion on the hill hasn’t seemed so remote
Led a merry dance but there’s no joy in these steps
Its verdant territory for our feelings to grow
Into a ball of rage, carrying souls as it goes
Into the light piercing
I feel your pain, no healing
Verdant territory unbounded

In Here

In Here
In here, and out there,
You can feel it everywhere
The fabric of the universe
Feel it weave its tale
But no one knows how it feels in here
No binary choices -
No black - it’s white
No one - it’s two
Its blue - it’s green
There’s a whole other world that we don’t see
Between the lines beyond the curve
There’s the arc of the truth
You gotta believe before you see
You gotta believe or it can’t be
Musical Break - Structured noise ..........
Between the lines beyond the curve
There’s the arc of the truth
You gotta believe before you see
You gotta believe or it can’t be
No black - it’s white
No one - it’s two
Its blue - it’s green
There’s a whole other world that we don’t see

Enough is Enough

Enough is Enough
Are there no limits, you have more than you will ever need
But your character is in deficit.
Your cup runs over and spills on the floor,
Tramps on the street you just ignore
Chorus
When is enough enough, Oh enough is enough ....
You’ve never struggled for what you have,
If you could live in the real world for one day,
You would see you don’t deserve it.
How do you live with yourself , you are oblivious
You lucky, lucky, on the back of others,
I hope that Karma exists, as it is surely coming your way
So surely coming your way…
Chorus
Enough is enough is enough ….
You’ve never struggled for what you have,
If you could live in the real world for one day,
You would see you don’t deserve it.
Equality, fairness, just words on the shelf
I’ve had enough and I can’t take it
We pretend the rich deserve it
It’s an insult and I can’t take it
I’ve had enough, enough , enough
Enough …….

Ghosts Of My Past

Ghosts of my past:
You are here, you are real
You are here with me
When i'm weak I know I can be strong
When I'm lost you help me belong
I feel you all around
The ghosts of my past
Like Birds flying south on a journey
When I stand up I'm not alone
When I get lost I'll find my way home
You help me soar above my troubles
You are here, you are real
You are here with me
Like Birds flying south on a journey
Ghosts of my past
Always with me
Like rays of light, pure delight
To feel you with me
The ghosts of my past ....
end ...

Introspection:
Stop, listen, the birds are singing
Promise is in the air
Possibility beckons everywhere
I feel the connection
But I'm full of introspection
That's just my way
I can't touch it, feel it
But I know its there
And I think you do too
I feel the connection
But I'm full of introspection
That's just my way
And then the moment has gone
Like a wisp on the wind
Stop, Listen, the birds are singing
Promise is in the air
