A Boy's Life

I try to see through your eyes
But life keeps changing the view
Are we so unalike?
It's a boy's life after all..
It's a boy's life
Afterall.

Have I really forgotten
The way I felt at fifteen?
When things were taken for granted,
It's a boy's life after all...
It's a boy's life
Afterall.

After All These Years

I smoked a pack of cigarettes before midday
I coughed up a lung around one
I can't see a thing through my eyes that sting
I can't remember having so much fun

I've never had so much fun

Can't drink the water in Sydney
Can't eat the food in Japan
Can't breath the air in Los Angeles
but a million people think they can

These wankers filled up with hatred
Why expect any less
They can't decide about genocide
I think it's time that they took a rest

I try to compensate blindly for mistakes
Try to make things right
For all my redemption I've the best intentions
But it's always ending up in a fight

You are not my friend
Never felt bad lending a hand
I think you hoped I wouldn't be in a band
Broken ashtray I can always replace
I kick the door then I spit in your face

Breathless

She is my first love
Graceful in all her ways
Holding the insight
Turning the sky from night into day
She won't fail to take my breath away

So soft the silence
She brings before the dawn
A time of twilight
When all the world waits, to be reborn

Nobody knows her name
No one, knows how she came to be here at all
Giving her loving, hoping, to everyone
Giving her hoping, to everyone

Old as the hills
Young just like the rising sun
Over fields, that lie
Away beneath her feet
Every time we meet
She takes my breath away

Curiosity

Sail, sail away,
There you go.
Why not let me come along,
I won't tell no one.

Now our bodies have entwined,
Touch me with your mind.
Your dreams are a mystery,
Please share them with me.

Curiosity is killing me,
I just got to know.
Curiosity is killing me,
I just got to know -
Where, tell me where,
Where are you sailing...

Camelogue

Standing at the crosswalk
Wonder which direction to go.
Listen to the smalltalk
Claiming how they told me so.

I improvise,
Have to keep going for the song and the road.
A lonely rise,
Now I'm relying on a song of my own.
My own.

Early on detected
Trouble had divided in two.
Acting unaffected
Reflecting on the things I do.

A solo rise,
Have to keep going for the song and the road.
Temptation sighs,
Leave us a memory we've loved to know.

Fighting the lead
I was so confused
Feeling so accused.

A solo rise
Have to keep going for the song and the road.
Temptation sighs,
Leave us a memory we've loved and known.
What can I do?

Go West

It was the very edge of summer
the air was thin the sky more pale
Dusty roads I remember
Oh so well...

The winds of future blew around us
The owners came to tell their tale,
feelin' like a piece of paper
in a gale.

Go West, go West.
where there's fruit in every place
a smile on every face...
Go West, go West...
Where there's work (so I'm told)

California's never cold,
so Go West...

We sold part' our lives
for 18 dollars...
Bought a Hudson Super-6
Travelled on down the highway
with no rest...

Childhood memories behind us
Grown-up feelings lie ahead,
Asked my Dad why we're going
and he said...

Go West, Go West
Where there's fruit in every place
a smile on every face...
Go West, Go West...
Where there's work (so I'm told)
California's never cold... so,
Go West...

Freefall

I'm in a freefall, like a snowflake falling,
Down, down, down, down, down.
I close my eyes inside my head I starfall
Helpless to the ground.
Down, down, down, down, down, oh yeah.

Smoke rings around me and bright sparks of fire
Flash by as I go.
I've got the feeling and it takes me higher
Than I'll ever know.
Go, go, go, go, go. Oooh.

Lady Fantasy

Listen very carefully, my words are about to unfold
Concerning a lady I`ve seen but I never could hold
I can see by your smile,
Take a long while,
The words that come through,
I see that they`re true,
For she reminds me of you.

Don`t misunderstand me, it`s not always easy to say
The words in your head and your heart that you just can`t explain
I can see clearly,
A face in the sky,
Moon`s in your eye,
You`re passing me by.
Tell me the reason why.

I can see clearly,
A face in the sky,
Moon`s in your eye,
You`re passing me by.

Saw you riding on a moon cloud,
Saw you walking on a whirlpool,
From the corner of my eye,
I saw you.

Saw you sitting on a sunbeam,
In the middle of my daydream,
Oh my Lady Fantasy,
I love you.

Metrognome

Time on your hands
You do it all the day
Shuffle your feet
And turn on the news
To hear what they might say

They made a machine
And you found your device
They're lighting the fuse
There's no need to worry
Your world will be alright

Time for a smoke
A pint and a joke
You muddle on through
Silently screaming
"What can I do?"

Till time trips you out
Looking about
Blows you away
High as a kite
On a windy day

Rajaz

When the desert sun has passed horizon's final light
And darkness takes it's place...
We will pause to take our rest.
Sharing song of love,
Tales of tragedy.

The souls of heaven
Are stars at night.
They will guide us on our way,
Until we meet again
Another day.
When a poet sings the song and all are hypnotised,
Enchanted by the sound...
We will mark the time as one,
Tandem in the sun.
The rhythm of a hymn.

The souls of heaven
Are stars at night.
They will guide us on our way,
Until we meet again
Another day.
When the dawn has come
Sing the song,
All day long.

We will move as one,
Bear the load
On the road.

The souls of heaven
Turn to stars
Every single night
All across the sky...
They shine.

Simple Pleasures

When she left the room
Her perfume filled the air.
Thirty years gone
It's still there.

How I love to breathe
The air she left behind.
This trick of fortune
Fills my mind.

Simple pleasures,
Silver treasures.
Take me far, far away...

Faded roses on
A table set for two.
An open window
Shares my view.

Out among the fields,
Breezes dance and play.
Tender mercies
Soothe my day.

Simple pleasures,
Silver treasures,
Take me far, far away...

Wing And a Prayer

High rise blocks out the gloom
The pavement sticks like glue
You're getting nowhere
As you ride on a wing and a prayer
You're crying out loud
A face lost in the crowd
A voice no-one can hear
You'll get by on a wing and a prayer
So let it be
Let the breeze carry you to the sea
Let the wind take you where it will go

You'd better believe it, lay me where
(Love is everywhere, risin' me found and out)
And you can feel it you're halfway there
(Feels like you're gonna drown)
Just another lovesong ain't reachin' out no one's there
(Ain't no big thing)
Once you got the feelin', make you wanna sing
Just hold on to a wing and a prayer

Just a little homegrown, lights be
(Lots of smoke in the air)
Take it or leave it, it comes all for free
(You'll slowly slip away)
Just another love song ain't no big thing
(All senses prevail)
Once you get the feelin', makes you wanna sing
You'll fly home on a wing and a prayer So let it be
Let the breeze carry you to the sea
Let the wind take you where it will go

(Now you wonder how why)
You better believe it, love is everywhere
You can feel it, you're halfway there
Just another love song, ain't no big thing
(You can fly everywhere)
Once you got the feelin', makes you wanna sing
If you trust to a wing and a prayer So let it be
Let the breeze carry you to the sea
Let the wind take you where it will go

Just another love song, ain't no big thing
Once you got the feelin', make you wanna sing
Just another homegrown, there's lots of things
Take it or leave it, it comes all for free
If you trust to a wing and a prayer

You better believe it, love is everywhere
You can feel it, you're halfway there
Just another love song, ain't no big thing
Once you got the feelin', make you wanna sing
If you trust to a wing and a prayer

Tell Me

Tell me everything
Don't be afraid to give yourself away
Sometimes, it's easier
Your fears melt away

And turn it all to moonshine
Words that rhyme
Still in your mind
Still in your mind

Play me anything
Maybe music is the only way
To tell me how you feel
Somehow, you'll find the way

And all the words to your song
Will carry on
Still in your mind
Still in your mind
