you,
make me feel,
like i'm okay.
i could be happy.
now i can stay,
not run away
stupidly laughing.
Wipe out all self-pity,
it's slowing me down.
Turn off feeling pretty,
dressing up dressing down.
I walk
around the city
out of my way,
looking for something.
I've got
all that i need
to save my day.
so why am i running?
You said i should get professional help,
it always makes me cry.
I know i'm just an amateur, but
i've gotta try.
I had
a birthday party
and it was packed.
got friends who love me.
We hung
a disco ball up
and watched the lights,
they were so lovely
You said i should get professional help,
it always makes me cry.
I know i'm just an amateur, but
i've gotta try.
i've gotta try...
When exactly are we?
i get the decades mixed up.
I like the streets when they're empty,
i can make the rest up.
i can make the rest up.

Sit you down,
Sit you down young gentleman
There’s something I want you to know
You keep on asking me
You keep on asking me why
Why are we here?
It started a long time ago
Me and your mum on the night
Yeah, yeah, yeah – we met
I was on the road again
She was in C79
I’ll never, never forget
I’ll never forget that night – no
We met in a back road
Behind the stage
She had the best figure by far
A-huh! A thousand hours I’ve looked at her eyes, but
I still don’t know what colour they are
Me and your mum, on the night
Oh Lord! We met
I was on the road again
She was in C79
She was a junkie then
And I was having a good time
Back on the road again
Oh mama! I was on the road again
Back in sweet 79
I’ll never, never forget
I’ll never forget that time
Back on the road again
Oh I’m travelling that line
I was a pop star then
I’m still having a good time

Once a upon a time I did believe
in my true love that swept me off my feet,
the wind of change, swept him away
and left me drowning, in my own pain....
I don't know that I will ever love again,
it's a price that I must pay for all my sins,
time has changed me and left me full of doubt
I'm ripping the posters off the wall
I'm moving the boxes into the hall
I stop when I hear a drumbeat call
Must be the sign, it is time....
I need to take myself away
From the pillowed hand on which I stand
And throw me out the side of a plane
And I'll just see where I land
I will have to pull my heart away
'Cause if I never leave I'll ruin yesterday
It's not like my feet are stuck to the floor
It's not like I'm wanting to nail down the door
I want you to throw my shoes in the fire
And I'll watch the soles burn on the funeral pyre
And I'm over and it and - change my position
And I'm knowing that nobody, nobody's listening
And that's easy for me and it's better for the soul
And it's better for you and it's better for all
I will have to pull my heart away
'Cause if I never leave I'll ruin yesterday
I will have to pull my heart away
'Cause if I never leave I'll ruin yesterday
I'm over with words, I'm moving in lines
And all that I heard is jump up inside, 'jump off the side'
I will have to pull my heart away
'Cause if I never leave I'll ruin yesterday
I will have to pull my heart away
'Cause if I never leave I'll ruin yesterday
I will have to pull my heart away

Wish you could help me, give me a pill
Just a little drink that I could swill.
A little something, anything, anything, I'll try all
I ain't got nowhere to go from here
I'm just about this far
From drowning in my very own tears
Out of my mind...out of my mind
Once inside, I'm out of my mind
Out of my mind...out of my mind
Life ain't so shitty
There's a lot that you can be
And ain't it a pity
But its alright to smile back at me
And if we both go there
We can count on problems that we might not necessarily

and now I'm free - lucky me..
I'm gonna make today sugar-coated
I'm gonna get so high, I'm lying here on the floor
it's time these shoes of mine were fully loaded
It's time to sit back and smile...
I've had a smoke and it's been awhile, it's been awhile....
Folk Song
summer sky and a throat bone dry
and the fields are all gold
dusty lane with a song in my brain
and it stoned me to my soul
I climb higher move towards the fire.....blaze sun
silver trees and a whispering breeze
are my sight and my sound
the thought of heaven couldn't drag me from the path
when I'm wandering here alone
I climb higher move towards the fire.... so blaze sun
watch until it dies slow falling from the sky
pale fading sun

couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
cause nothing else matters..
I never opened myself this way
life is ours, we do it our way
all these words, I just don't say
cause nothing else matters..
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
But, I know...
Trust I seek but I find in you
every day for us, something new
open mind for a different view..
cause nothing else matters.....
Peace

one ear against the ground
holding her breath to hear something

We've all got better things to do,
Than talk in circles, run in place,
Answers inches from my face.
