Los Pueblos
Sitting writing songs with my friends in the Kitchen
Talking bout the day that’s past and what comes next
Outside our walls a nation is slowly fragmenting
And he who tells the biggest lie gets the biggest cheque
Whatever colour stripe or skin
You got to keep on talking and don’t give up
Life’s worth living well it’s worth a shot
Time ain’t waiting so don’t forget
We’re all the same
Don’t play the Game
That separates
Slow down Slow down it’s all their to distract you
The words that are spoken are spoken to hide what’s broken
Why try to change the world when the world’s past changing?
Talkings not just talking when it changes minds
Whatever colour stripe or skin
You got to keep on talking and don’t give up
Life’s worth living well it’s worth a shot
Time ain’t waiting so don’t forget
We’re all the same
Don’t play the Game
That separates
They’re chalking the names of the dead on the pavements of Buffalo
Scrawling slogans of love on the walls
Why fight Love ?
Why fight Love ?
When a demagogue rises he rises and leaves us behind him
When a demagogue falls he falls and takes us down
Los Pueblos unidos jamas sera vencidos
The people united will never be divided
Whatever colour stripe or skin
You got to keep on talking and don’t give up
Life’s worth living well it’s worth a shot
Time ain’t waiting so don’t forget
We’re all the same
Don’t play the Game
That separates
Why Fight Love
Why Fight Love
Why Fight Love
Why Fight Love

After The Fall
It’s a tough call when you lose your mind
You fight hard to stay sane while all the while
Your nearest and dearest do their best to console
As they fearfully slot into their new roles
You become Nigel while they get busy making plans
Decisions that were yours now out of your hands
Impressions get set as the tale gets told
Pretty soon you find you’ve lost your hold
Oh oh oh ....
A hard place to come back from
It ain’t no place at all
Never thought the return could be so hard
After the fall
I heard things you would not believe
How many sugars does he take in his tea?
You who shone brightly before you broke down
Good memories are fading behind their anxious frowns
Still you keep on fighting for that bit of self esteem
When they gonna realise it’s not what it seems?
Your mind is still working behind their loving glass wall
How you gonna smash it without making them fall?
Oh oh oh…
A hard place to come back from
It ain’t no place at all
Never thought the return could be so hard
After the fall

Mistakes
I made the same mistakes
Create the same old aches
I place my feet on higher ground
And watch me tower over the world
But I guess I’ll settle down
I’m coming along in leaps and bounds
Oh yeah
Standing by a polluted canal
Well wade on in if you want to
This dry dock’s well beyond repair
And the look you gave me said it all
But I guess I’ll settle down
I’m coming along in leaps and bounds
I kid myself this battle’s won
Best step forward not one foot wrong
Take what’s yours and slide right back
Wait patiently all through the night
You know so much so hold that dear
Time and tide wait for me no more
But I guess I’ll settle down
I’m coming along in leaps and bounds
I kid myself this battle’s won
Best step forward not one foot wrong
Oh yeah

Slip Away
I’m tired of fighting
I want to call it a day
I got half a mind
To slip away
And I wish that you were here
To make me stay
One day lasts forever
You by the Serpentine
Sunlight on the water
Sparkled in your eyes and into mine
Such a perfect day won’t ever fade away
From my mind
I want to write you a letter
I don’t know what to say
I got half a mind
To slip away
And I wish that you were here
To make me stay

Firehouse
To make a better day, keep your mind awake
And all you have to say is “come with me and play”
And when your mind’s at ease, think of the mystery
Of why the Earth is round, and pulls us to the ground
And if you wonder why, we all have to die
Do you wonder when we’ll be born again?
In the Firehouse, they don’t need a hero
In the morning sun, a king has no clothes
I made my lover cry, the night I said goodbye
I watched her breaking down, crumple to the ground
I left her standing there, hip rest against the chair
Wet lashes eyes are raw, I loved you all the more
A love like ceiling wax, when it’s hard it breaks our backs
When it’s hot it melts our hearts, changing every day
In the Firehouse
They don’t need a hero
In the morning sun
A king has no clothes
Where the rivers meet
It all adds up to zero
Where the fires burn
A king has no home
Now I’m tired and heading home, on the road, on my own
Afraid my plane goes down, Ffuture loss of sound
I watched the world go by, to a song that made him cry
I’ve seen the waters rise, and wash it all away
In the Firehouse
They don’t need a hero
In the morning sun
A king has no clothes
Where the rivers meet
It all adds up to zero
Where the fires burn
A king has no home

Back In The Day

Back In The Day
Back in the day we were as one
Living for laughs, getting high on the sun
Life in the moment, coasting free
The future was ours, whatever would be
Now we are islands ravaged by storm
All of us fighting, some of us gone
I think of the dead, do they see us down here?
Angels in Heaven keeping us near
And I wonder
How does it look from up there?
Are they helping ?
Helping us out down here
And God knows
God only knows I could use a hand
Help me fight
Fight off the dark and make a stand
Back in the day we couldn’t see
What lay ahead, how hard it would be
Running on empty, tired and drawn
Seeking the strength to carry on
And I wonder
How does it look from up there?
Are they helping ?
Helping us out down here
And God knows
God only knows I could use a hand
Help me fight
Fight off the dark and make a stand
Oh Lord
Hear my prayer
Keep me from falling
Into despair
Hello lover
Take my hand
Lead me home
So I understand
And I wonder
How does it look from up there?
Are they helping ?
Helping us out down here
And God knows
God only knows I could use a hand
Help me fight
Fight off the dark and make a stand
Oh Lord
Hear my prayer
Keep me from falling
Into despair
Hello lover
Take my hand
Lead me home
So I understand

Never Too Late
Sitting on a wall, waiting for my time to come
I’m not the only one to feel this way
Catching up on news, what the politicians say
They’re going to change their views if it helps them to stay
If you’ve something to say you better shout it out today
Cos it’s never too late to make a change
Breaking all the rules, teachers gone and lost your soul
She thought it was easy to hold but your hand slipped away
Kicking up a storm, I can hear the engines fire
I know it’s not your style to lose when you play
If you’ve something to say you better shout it out today
Cos it’s never too late to make a change
What do you do when the world moves on without you?
What do you do for fun?
How does it feel when the sun it sets without you?
Where do you go when you run?
Sitting on a wall, waiting for your man to come
He says he won’t be long, you’re waiting all day
Early morning blues thinking ‘bout the day to come
Your not the only one to feel this way
If you’ve something to say, you better shout it out today
Cos it’s never too late to make a change …

Tears
Climb the greasy pole, gotta get to the top
It’s who you know not what you feel if you want to be in the club
Inch by inch the end is changed as you justify the means
Your popularity will blind them to their shattered dreams
Don’t curry favour my friend
Your so-called ‘friends’ will cheat you in the end
Don’t curry favour my friend
It will end in tears in the end
Profit while you can, it’s the only rule that counts
Cut a slice of public pie, sell it straight to your account
Stash the money far away where the taxman can’t come near
Take more than you give back, the law will hide you have no fear
Don’t sell the silver my friend
The audit will betray you in the end
Don’t sell the silver my friend
It will end in tears in the end
The global world’s a tough place to compete in nowadays
Gotta keep that growth rate rising in the battlefields of trade
Social insecurity, zero hours pay
Tell them migrants are the reason, come to darken our bright day
Don’t blame the scapegoat my friend
Humanity will shame you in the end
Don’t blame the scapegoat my friend
It will end in tears in the end
The country’s under threat, the hoards are at the door
Tell the people you’ll protect them then send them out to war
Make policy before the fact, no one will ever know
The nation needs a strong man when the wind blows
Don’t lie to me my friend
History will reveal you in the end
Don’t lie to me my friend
It will end in tears in the end
The doubters that surround you will beset you til the end
Better arm yourself with power, silence voices that dissent
It’s your will over their will, freedom’s a price they’ll have to pay
Your justified, let nothing bar your way
Don’t court the darkness my friend
Its power will devour you in the end
Don’t court the darkness my friend
It will end in tears in the end
Now you’ve made it, you’re on top, your enemies swept aside
Broken and defeated by the unrelenting tide
But in the wake a nameless shape starts slowly to take form
Your Nemesis is rising and will cloud your golden dawn
Don’t set your sights on glory my friend
Vanity will blind you in the end
Don’t set your sights on glory my friend
It will end in tears in the end
The vulnerable, the dispossessed, the underdog, the lame
Will rise to hold you to account for deeds done in their name
Better hope that Love and Reason quickly gain the upper hand
If you want a peaceful union in your bruised, divided land
Don’t take us all for granted my friend
Our bleeding hearts may save you in the end
Don’t take us all for granted my friend
It will end in tears in the end
It will end in tears in the end
It will end in tears in the end
It will end in tears

Off The Handle
Sometimes I feel like my head’s caving in
Sometimes I wish that the whole thing would stop
Apparently this gets better with age
My youth’s long gone but I still feel this rage
But mostly I just feel sad
This whole fucking world’s going mad
I need a drink just to calm me down
I can’t believe that I’m still in this town
I’ll find somewhere that isn’t right here
I’ll find somewhere where I won’t shed a tear
And we’ll sing
But mostly I just feel sad
This whole fucking world’s going mad
But mostly I just feel sad
I walked away with a smile on my face
I was wondering why I was feeling so out of place
This made me feel well never again
It’ll take some time to deal with the pain
And we’ll sing
Mostly I just feel sad
This whole fucking world’s going mad
But mostly I just feel sad…

Powerplay
Changes come for the better
Ignorance it grows like the past
Pilot gets lost in stormy weather
Can’t seem to find his way to Earth
If I told you the truth would you listen?
Would you hear me if I called out loud
Soldier gets lost in the desert
No one could see him for the crowd
Do you feel out of place?
And do you feel powerplay?
Strangers don’t feel so welcome
Lovers get crossed in friendly fire
Me, I’m just lost in the city
A hundred thousand other guns for hire
And do you feel out of place?
And do you feel powerplay?
Down in the playground they’re picking up lies
No time for pity
No time to cry
Everybody’s missing Bunny
They didn’t think she’d be so long
A hole in the dust on the window
They didn’t think they’d have to be strong
And do you feel out of place?
And do you feel powerplay?…

I Believe
If you asked me do I believe in God above
I’d say the only thing I know is I believe in Love
And if you made it clear that your heart and soul were pure
I’d open mine to yours and never shut the door
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for being you
Thank you for being there
I’ll be there for you no matter where
And if you’re feeling blue and like you’ve had enough
I’d tell you all the tales I know until I’d made you laugh
And if you’re feeling lost inside like you don’t know where to turn
I’d take you to a place I know where you won’t feel alone
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for being you
Thank you for being there
I’ll be there for you no matter where
And if your mind’s in turmoil, thoughts racing round and round
I’d do all that I could to put your feet back on the ground
And if your world turns sour and the Night starts to invade
I’d tell you of the happy days that you and I have made
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for being you
Thank you for being there
I’ll be there for you no matter where
Oh - oh …
And when life’s mountain gets to steep to climb
I’d take hold of your load and make your troubles mine
And if you asked me is God waiting up above?
I’d say the only thing I know is I believe in Love

So The Story Goes
Stories are told, from a higher place
This one is sad, some may relate
I heard you laugh, out in the street
I saw you cry, sweet tears of relief
You broke on through, their thin disguise
Left them for dead, oh the years go by
Tell it like it is, like the story goes
One lie at a time, like the story goes
The wild blue yonder, stretches for miles
Can we escape our troubled lives?
The circumstances into which we fall
May be the mirror to our ends
Stories are told, tell me another one
Things don’t add up, all of a sudden
For heaven’s sake, tell me how this ends
Save all the best, right to the last
The wild blue yonder, stretches for miles
Can we escape our troubled lives
The circumstances into which we fall
May be the mirror to our ends
