Things Happen

Strange how things happen, a straightforward day……. then the world goes mad.
It just makes you challenge the games we all play. Trivial pursuits…..its all so sad.
There’s nothing to count. There’s no time like now. Forget all the minor things.
There’s so much to lose. There may not be time, to say all the heartfelt secrets.
We live with frustrations and fears……….we don’t always voice them.
I don’t think it helps, to hold it inside…… for fear of indifference.
Don’t keep it for then. Don’t hide it away. Don’t get to it later.
Don’t store it away for some future day. Doing it now will be greater.
All around the world, looking backwards across your shoulder
It’s a matter of course, makes the thinker inside you bolder
I want to be right for you.
Don’t you understand I’m willing to fight for you, while I have time
I want to be high, I want to be strange, I want to get rich, I want to be brave
I want to be right, I want to be right for you. While I have time.
I’m going to confess. I’m going to address, all the things I’ve been holding.
What ever comes out, at least there’s no way, frustration will rule me.
All around the world, people thinking the cracks are showing,
There’s a sickness no doubt. Makes you wonder where we are going.
I want to be right for you.
Don’t you understand I’m willing to fight for you, while I have time
I want to be high, I want to be strange, I want to get rich, I want to be brave.
I want to be right, I want to be right for you. While I have time.

Keep Me On My Own
05:11

I don’t need no moonshine, I don’t need no sunshine
You just give me fun times. Don’t keep me on my own
When I have you near me, I feel good and so free
You just make me feel good. Don’t keep me on my own
If you were to go away, I would feel the pain
Life would lose its spark its fire never be the same.
Every time I think of you my heart it jumps a beat.
Say with me for evermore and sweep me off my feet.
When I have you near me, I feel good and so free.
You just make me feel good. Don’t keep me on my own.
I don’t need no moonshine, I don’t need no sunshine
You just give me fun times. Don’t keep me on my own
If you were to go away, I would feel the pain
Life would lose its spark its fire never be the same.
Every time I think of you my heart it jumps a beat.
Say with me for evermore and sweep me off my feet.
You just make me feel good
I don’t need no moonshine, I don’t need no sunshine
You just give me fun times. Don’t keep me on my own
When I have you near me, I feel good and so free
You just make me feel good. Don’t keep me on my own

Broken
04:58

I'm thinking of our world today
The innocence has gone away
I can't relate my mind to the things that have come.
The evolution of our time
The greed the waste the hate the crime
I cannot really tell did we advance or just decline
The world is broken and I want to fix it
Broken and we need to change things
Broken and we must stop this decline
Broken, Broken, Broken, Broken.
Before it is too late.
I hope it’s not too late.
Technology has given us
A virtual world where no one talks
As many bytes of friends as our open minds can find
We need to reach out for our dreams
Enrich our lives through older ways
Connecting with our voices and our minds we want to say
The world is broken and I want to fix it
Broken and we need to change things
Broken and we must stop this decline
Broken, Broken, Broken, Broken.
Before it is too late.
I hope it’s not too late.
What have we done to the world
Why has we gone so wrong
When will we realise
This greed just can't go on
Let's pray it's not too late.
Let’s hope it’s not too late.

Birds

Lover, there will be another one.
Who’ll hover over you beneath the sun.
Tomorrow see the things that never come. Today.
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.
Nestled in your wings my little one
This special morning brings another sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.

Beautiful Thing
04:22
|

Shadows in the streets they talk to me,
‘Cos you don’t need me anymore .
Life with you was full of lies.
Empty Dreams lost to the skies
Fading are your motivating charms,
‘Cos you don’t need me anymore.
Life with you was hard and cruel,
Empty mind just like a fool.
Loving you was such a beautiful thing.
Now it’s gone and memories are all you bring to me.
Loving you was such a beautiful feeling.
Now it’s over, and I must move on.
The shadows lift and then they fade away,
Still you don’t need me anymore.
Time will come and heel my pain,
Then my sun will rise again.
Loving you was such a beautiful thing.
Now it’s flown just like a bird upon the wing.
Loving you was such a beautiful feeling.
The dream was stolen, and I’m moving on.
Now the shadows melt into the light,
‘Cos I don’t need you anymore.
Though I cherish all our time,
The past is gone the futures mine.
Loving you was such a beautiful thing.
Now it’s gone and memories of joy they bring.
Loving you was such a beautiful feeling.
But now it’s over, and I just moved on.

I don’t know what it is that makes me love you so.
I only know I want to let you go.
‘Cos you started something, can’t you see,
That ever since we met you’ve had a hold on me.
It happens to be true. I only want to be with you.
It doesn’t matter where you go or what you do,
I want to spend each moment of the day with you.
Look what has happened with just one kiss.
I never knew that I could be in love like this.
It’s crazy but it’s true. I only want to be with you.
You stopped and smiled at me. Asked me if I cared to dance.
I fell into your open arms and I didn’t stand a chance.
Now listen honey. I just want to be beside you everywhere.
As long as we’re together honey I don’t care.
‘Cos you started something, can’t you see,
That ever since we met you’ve had a hold on me.
No matter what you do. I only want to be with you.
You stopped and smiled at me. Asked me if I cared to dance.
I fell into your open arms and I didn’t stand a chance.
Now listen honey. I just want to be beside you everywhere.
As long as we’re together honey I don’t care.
‘Cos you started something, can’t you see,
That ever since we met you’ve had a hold on me.
No matter what you do. I only want to be with you.
I said no matter, no matter what you do.
I only, I only, I only, I only, I only want to be with you.

Last Advance

I have given you all of my heart, but your soul won’t let me in.
There’s a distance that keeps us apart ‘cos your soul won’t let me in.
And I’m giving you just one more chance.
Here’s my last advance.
I have given you all of my life, but your soul won’t let me in.
All I wanted was to be your wife, but your soul won’t let me in.
So I’m giving you just one more chance.
Here’s my last advance.
All this time has come and gone. Let’s find out if we belong.
All my life I’ve been waiting for you.
Hold me forever, I will love you.
You have asked me to never leave you, but you won’t ever be true.
And I wonder what I’m gonna do ‘cos you won’t ever be true.
So I’m giving you just one more chance.
Here’s my last advance.
I have given you all of my heart, but your soul won’t let me in.
There’s a distance that keeps us apart ‘cos your soul won’t let me in.
And I’m giving you just one more chance.
Here’s my last advance.

MT Promises

I can’t believe the way you talk to me
The things you do the things you say
I can’t rely on you to help my life
My pride my soul you took away
I feel your influence upon our world
A bitter strike, a distant war.
You never really tried to make amends
So what on earth was it all for?
We wanted to believe in you
We hoped your aims were true
It’s over now you’ve died and gone away
A grocer, mother and a wife
The world’s reflecting on your legacy
The iron lady’s view on life.
You never doubted you were in the right.
You never listened to dissent.
The inner circle seemed to worship you.
Or was it just a false pretence?
You gave us all your promises.
Your ego grew and grew.
We wanted to believe in you.
We hoped your aims were true.
It’s over now you’ve died and gone away
A grocer, mother and a wife
The world’s reflecting on your legacy
The iron ladies view on life.
I can’t believe the way you talked to me.
The things you said hurt to this day.
A single minded bid to change the world,
But then you threw it all away.
We wanted to believe in you
We hoped your aims were true
You gave us empty promises
Your ego undid you

Sanity Corrosion
06:19
|

|
See my way, will you make my day. Hear real well what I’ve got to say.
I’m so sad that I’m coming to this place. Can I show you some emotion.
All too much, this is all too much. Can you feel my heat, can you bear to touch.
There’s a ticking bomb that’s about to blow my mind. I’m gonna show you some emotion.
Now my head is spinning, I am losing all control.
Don’t know if I’m winning, do I have to sell my soul? For you.
One more day, just another day. So much more before I find a way
To connect the lines and to disregard the cost, of this sanity corrosion.
Take it back with an open mind. I tried real hard but I didn’t find the way to fit, and make sure I survive.
Doesn’t really matter ‘cos your fate is predefined.
It’s nothing more than I can do, it’s time to realign, the game, they play. My rules. My way.
It’s time to reach the edge? It’s time to understand.
Are you ready for a change of life? Your time is in my hands. I’m free.
You know what I’ve done, and you know where I’ve been,
But you don’t know who I really am ‘cos you don’t know what I’ve seen.
The years have come and gone, and it hasn’t felt as bad,
But I can’t live this crazy dream until it drives me mad.
Open up the door, open up my mind,
Open up a universe of futures there to find.
Face the fact and create the word. A simple truth that I observe.
No more trapped by the ever damning face, of their critical intrusion.
This time it is all for you, it never was for them.
I just need your love to know that this is not the end, for me. No deal. No way.
