My Ever Expanding Universe
Walk with me under a faultless sky
I love the beauty of this moment
You are my little star
In this ever expanding universe
We look for meaning a cosmic code
You make sense to me
Do the great things you are meant to
You are unique, original
No need to worry or be concerned
Your future is bright, your future is bright
My ever expanding universe
Don’t jump in too early, Don’t limit yourself
Be what you want to be, put your mind to it
I will be your star in the sky, watching out for you
I will be there now and always,
My ever expanding universe

I Can See Both Sides Now

I Can See Both Sides Now
I used to be so sure, now I know nothing is for certain
It’s a fragile state that we all exist in
You don’t know what matters until it’s gone
No matter how you frame it there’s always loose ends
Chorus
I can see both sides now – like never before
I can walk in your shoes – I can mediate or deplore you
But I can see both sides now
Life is a puzzle with many sides
A rubic, gameboard, conundrum, a quest
You just want a life, need to feel safe
I can understand, your point of view
Chorus
I can see both sides now – like never before
I can walk in your shoes – I can mediate or deplore you
But I can see both sides now.
Oh I can see so clearly now, the fog has lifted oh yeah

Born to Be
Do you ever think that you are going the wrong way?
Have you taken the wrong turn
Why do I waste time with things that don’t matter
Never enough hours in the day
Sometimes I need direction
Choice is the enemy of a content heart
What’s to lose or to gain
Sometimes you just know that you are in the wrong place
Is it written in the stars
Or is it a formula, running in the numbers
Let your feelings guide you and find meaning, find meaning
You need to philosophise to find a way
We will find a way, we are born to be
Got to philosophise to create

I don’t want to let you go
A series of dreams links like a thread
Images tear away at me inside
It feels like minus 10 but I just don’t care
I cannot express what you have done for me
Done for me ............
I don’t want to let you go it’s true
I feel the weight of time like a force stabbing at my heart
Inertia takes over and I’m caught in a moment
Stuck in this moment with you
With you, with you .......
Break
So what is it all about this journey
Your comet has raced towards the stars
With my knees in the dirt I realise
We are all connected ( Earth sky & stars)
So live for the moment it will soon pass
Time is a force that must elapse
Thank you for all of those lessons hard learned
I accept the gift that you pass on to me
To me .........
I don’t want to let you go, you know it’s true
I don’t want to let you go I never will….

Perfect World

Perfect world
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 rip 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.
In a perfect world it starts with a spark, and burns with a perfect flame to light the way…
A perfect world all is not lost, but we are writing ourselves out the story.
OH a perfect world, we don’t appreciate what we have got, we don’t appreciate until its lost… until its lost.
A perfect world I like the sound that it makes
I like the sound, as it echoes down the years.
Are we any closer , Closer AHHH – A perfect world….

Starlighter
A thousand million points of light
Are you out there
Part of the grand design – a great master plan
Are you my starlighter - Light my life
Are you my starlighter - Light up my life
Eternal circle space and time
Mixed with flash backs
You in a perfect place
Nothing vivid - just a feeling
I know you are there
Where did you go when you left my world
Oh I know you are out there
Are you my star lighter - Light my life
Are you my starlighter – Light up my life
Where did you go when you left my world
Nothing vivid, just a feeling, I know you are there
Where did you go when you left my world
Nothing vivid, just a feeling, I know you are there

Piece by Piece

Piece by piece
You’ve got to hold on, hold on to what you’ve got
As each part of your life fades piece by piece
The colour, the shape, all forms fold around
You don’t know it’s gone, until it’s not there
Easily distracted you don’t notice
All things matter close at hand
And all slowly fade piece by piece
Flashing images, glimpses in your mind
Replay the movie of your life
Piece by piece you’ve got to let go
It takes you to a strange place, where you feel alone
On the other side joy awaits
As you go, released from your bonds
Join the circle as it comes around
You find yourself back home again

Dream State
I’m a dreamer, but see the logic of your position
2 plus 2 can be a lot of things if you put your mind to it
Visualize, empathise and you will see
There’s more to life than black and white
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
There’s no limit to my horizon
Not constrained by environments
It’s a fine line between fantasy and reality
But this is where I need to be
Break
I’m a dreamer, unfocussed schemer
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
Parting thought:
I’m a dreamer, and we can all dream a little bit more
Don’t accept absolutes and head for the distant shore....

Monkey cage
Oh my god what am I going to do
Its 3.45 and I can’t go on
Mundane, ghost train, turn off my brain
My head it thumps to the beat of the void
Chorus
Give me something worthwhile
Give me something great
I can do it if you give me a chance
In this Monkey cage
Some are born to open thoughts
Others force their way, force their way
You’re not beaten even if you want to be
CHORUS
Monkey cage axe to grind
Law of the jungle never mind
Rage rise up, hold it back
Watch out for the hypocrisy trap
Control the rage rising
Law of the jungle it’s more than just surviving

Room at the Top

Room at the top
Don’t give me that line that wealth filters down
Just cause you say it doesn’t make it true
Don’t try to define for me what to think
I reject there’s always more room at the top
Chorus
What makes you think I want to get there
It is a different ladder I need to climb
I don’t need your room at the top
I want to live where real people live
Where real people live ....
It is a new future I want to see
Where we live and we love, care and express
What matters to me is my neighbour
I am only as rich as the poorest I see
Chorus
What makes you think I want to get there
It is a different ladder I need to climb
I don’t need your room at the top
I want to live where real people live
Where real people live ........
You wouldn’t understand it is bigger than you
Oh how the bottom line it grinds and it grates on me
You don’t speak the language but it is time that you see
You can live the lie but you can’t beat the truth
I don’t want your room at the top
It is a different ladder I need to climb
I don’t want your room at the top
Don’t sell me that line
I aint going to kick someone to get there
That would destroy my soul
I want to live where real people live . . . .

The Peoples Way
04:14

The peoples way ( Tron gate )
A distant rumble boots on cobble
A special prayer lights the way
Sweat and toil our place in this order
Divide and conquer roots of our unrest
CHORUS
It’s the peoples way, it’s the will, it’s the need of our time
Ghosts still march down the peoples way
Never forget all before us
Never forget the peoples way
Fast forward and here we are
Do you know about the struggles past
Is there anything now worth this trade
Lets find out down the peoples way
CHORUS
United in thought, will, and effort
We stand together for common good
I will always be proud
That we continue our march down the peoples way.
It’s the will – it’s the need of our time
It’s the will – it’s the need of our time

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,
The 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
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.
Equality, fairness, just words on the shelf
We pretend the rich deserve it
It’s an insult and I can’t take it
Equality, fairness, just words on the shelf
I can’t take it I’ve had enough, enough ….
I’ve had enough, enough , ENOUGHHHHHHH ....

Get Me Through The Storm
05:13
|

Get me through the storm
There is no light shining, all the colour has gone
No joy left, don’t have the energy to turn away
When you are in the heart of darkness and no light is coming through
When you are ground down so far you can’t see over the groove
CHORUS
Just get me through the storm, I don’t need shelter, I don’t need solace,
Just get me through the storm, to the other side
Sometime a rage builds up , I need to go on
I’ve had enough, enough, but no need to console
What am I supposed to do? get me through the storm
I don’t want to hang around in the eye of a storm
Break
I feel the need to be free
Take me back to where I belong
CHORUS
Just get me through the storm, I don’t need shelter, I don’t need solace,
Just get me through the storm, to the other side

D-Day Remembered

D- Day remembered
Your world came crashing in, this was the biggest of days
A butterfly floats by totally unaware
This could be the day that you die
And yet you feel so alive
Chorus
How can I re-pay you when the cost was so high
WE just can’t imagine it was no ordinary day
Best foot forward and bridge across the water
You took a leap of faith Normandy Brothers
You go down in history so great was the feat
I am not qualified, but want to give thanks
Never let it be forgotten what you did that day
Chorus
D-Day now a page in a book
Those beaches so tranquil and secure
I will always hate bloody wars,
and I am sure you did too
My appreciation for you grows and grows- Repeat
End

Singularity
You bumped and crashed and then nothing else mattered
The silence took over and deafened you
When the timeline is broken - You will never be the same again
Singularityyyyyy – a moment to overcome
Call upon your lucky star and hold on
When the timeline is broken - You will never be the same again
When the timeline is broken - You will never be the same again
Singularityyyyyyy - a moment to overcome
When the timeline is broken you will never be the same again
A moment to overcome …….
