Ya can't escape from the daily grind

Best to grin and bear it me find

Everything is gonna be alright

Forget Them Not

All is calm and quiet on The Western Front
The landscape is lush and full of life and colour
Hiding ghostly memories and deep scars of sorrow
Man and boy they answered the rallying call to arms
For king and country they marched off into battle
They sacrificed their today to guarantee our tomorrow
The war to end all wars was the ultimate goal
Freedom from oppression and tyranny was the ideal

El Presidente

The USA goes to the polls
Let's make some noise
Who you gonna vote for 
Girls and boys
Shout and holler
Let's hear your voice
Make your  decision 
Not much of a choice
The white house awaits a new residente 
Who's gonna be the next El Presidente 

The people  need a saviour 
But everything is fake
The country is corrupt 
Their all on the take
Spend millions on a campaign

Guy Fawkes Night

It's November the 5th don't you know
Time for a celebration let's go
They call it Guy Fawkes night
Let's set the sky alight
All the bonfires they will glow
The heavens are on fire yo
It's November the 5th don't you know

Many years they have passed 
Since I was just a wee boy
I made myself a fancy guy
It was my pride and joy
Old jeans and jumper stuffed
With newspapers would suffice

Scream Scream It's Halloween

The date is October 31
Well I'll be a son of a gun
You know what I mean
Scream scream It's Halloween
I'm living a nightmare
Caught in a dream
Scream Scream It's Halloween

The working day is nearly done 
Dusk falls and night is on the way
I walk fearfully through the gloom
Hope I'm going to be okay
I cut through the graveyard
And get a creepy spooky feeling

Revolution Is In The Air

I wait quietly in the shadows now
Crouching like a ninja man wow
Feeling the pain in my aching heart 
Doing the best to tear me apart
I'm living in a world fucked up
On a planet that is a dying muck
War is raging all around
Death and destruction they abound

Our leaders and politicians stink 
Are corrupt for sure I think 
I'm all right Jack is the word they say

Remember Me

Many years they have gone by
Days quickly become nights
In the blink of a teary eye
Summers they come and go
As I walk in the winter snow

Memories and visions of the past
Run crazily through my head
I thought the good times would forever last
But time it waits for no man
Here I stand alone
Doing the best that I can

Do you remember me
Has your heart set me free
Do you remember me

Autumn Breeze

Wide awake on an October morn
Ready to greet the early dawn
My teary window I gaze through
At the glistening grassy dew
I've got to get out the door
Time to stroll and explore
Get my self in good shape 
Get lost and finally escape

Autumn breeze 
You are in my hair
Autumn breeze 
I Don't have a care 
Autumn breeze
Take me anywhere

Out I dash onto the deserted avenue

Attention

I march down the street alone
Step by step I am closer to home
My journey is one of salvation 
As I travel across the nation 
My destination is unknown
Like a nomad I constantly roam

All the days seem the same
Got no mission that's a shame
The sun refuses to shine on me
I need a miracle to set me free
I look up at an empty sky
Can't see heaven I wonder why

October Rain

Looking through my tearful window
At an angry black menacing sky
I contemplate my very being
And I reflect and wonder why 
The hand of fate has chosen
To take my happiness to die

Hiding in the stormy clouds
There must be a heaven somewhere
A place of peace and solitude 
An oasis of love and care
I have lost an angel
And need release from my despair 

October rain
You drown me in so...

Mad Mad World

Mad mad world crazy crazy planet
Mad mad world crazy crazy planet 
Okay sure I got a problem that makes me blue
But I am not alone that much is true
But nobody listens and they can’t see
They don’t know what it’s like to be me

Daybreak shines and it comes all too soon
The night invades and plunges me into gloom
Don’t want to be on medication forever more
Just wish to walk tall and proud...

Caught in A Dream

The daylight fades very fast
And I am consumed by the night
Sleep takes me into the vortex
As I submit without a fight
I am running for my life
Falling through a sky of violence
In a deep tunnel and trapped
In terror I scream in silence

Caught in a dream
Lost and found
Caught in a dream
Don't make a sound
Caught in a dream
No way home
Caught in a dream
Forever I roam

Memories Of You

I was walking down a never ending street 
With no destination in mind
My head was in the clouds 
My eyes were open but I was blind
But then I saw a ray of light
I'm not giving up without a fight

Memories of you 
Are keeping me alive
Memories of you 
Will help me survive 
Memories of you 
Help me beat the blues
Memories of you
From many can I choose 

The world is all around me

Hey John - What's Going Down

What a beautiful world we have
Raging with destruction and war
From Africa and Europe
And in the holy land once more
The media covers it all with aplomb
Entertainment for the masses galore

Hey John - What's going down
I'm glad you're not around to witness 
Jesus Allah and Buddha are not amused 
As they look sadly down upon us
And observe the path we choose
Hey John - What's going down

Lost

I make my way each day
With you on my mind
My head is in the clouds 
My eyes they are blind
I can't escape  from my reality
And and I don't really care
My heart is broken so there

The days keep on coming
And the nights never end
I have no peace
My head it just spins
Memories are all I have
Fading pictures just hanging there
Visions of utter despair

I am lost and can't be found

Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time
Back in the day
The sun shone brightly 
And everything was okay
Once upon a time

I look up to the sky
And I often wonder why
The heavens are just out of touch
I miss holding you so much
But I just have to go on
When all hope is gone

Another day I greet with pain
Knowing that I won't see you again
Not in this lifetime anyway
Maybe on the other side I pray

Falling For You

I've been walking down a lonely road
With no destination in sight
I've been on a journey of salvation 
Hoping everything will be alright 
Then I turn around the corner
And see a beautiful sight

You look up and notice me
Then flash me a beautiful smile
Me eyes do not deceive me
You made my day worthwhile
I walk on with a spring in my step
I definitely like your style

My Girl In Pearls

I saw you walking down the street
And my heart skipped a beat
Oh yeah I really like your style
And I'm dazzled by your smile
Now I've got a notion
And love is the potion
My girl in pearls
My girl in pearls

I spied you in a local bar
And admired you from afar
I really need to make a move
If I want to get in your groove
I'm hoping that I caught your eye
Because I want to be your guy

Life Is A Circus

The big top is lit up like a Christmas tree
The ringmaster struts around a king
I juggle with life trying not to fail
On comes a magican delight he will bring
Like an acrobat my head spins around 
The audience screams but I don't hear a sound

Life is a circus and I am a clown
A smile I wear but inside I frown
I walk a tightrope and defy gravity 
Sad and living a life of tragedy

Waiting In Vain

I hit the ground running 
My heart is broken in two 
I can't see the wood from the trees
The only feeling I have is blue
I am treading water and drowning
Trapped forever in a human zoo
My eyes are open but I am blind
To the reality that I know is true

I'm waiting in vain
Feeling the pain
I'm waiting in vain 
It's driving me insane
I'm waiting in vain
Hoping to see you again

Old

Autumn has arrived once more
The season of brilliant hues
Just before the winter blues

Now I am in my senior years
I am hoping to take things slow
But you never know
Which way things are going to go
Where will the wind blow

The future is looking bleak
I am feeling so weak

Old
A cross that I have to bear
A burden that I cannot share
A government that doesn't care
No winter fuel ...

Groovy Kinda Girl

I spied you by pure chance 
walking on by past my door
I'm feeling kind of nervous and shy 
I would really like to get to know you more 
Just how am I going to approach you
I guess that I will have to take a chance
If I want to have a little romance
I just don't know what I'm going to do
With a groovy kinda girl like you

Now I can't even sleep at night
There's a lot of tossing and turn...

There is a sparkle in your eyes

I like the way you look at me

You got me captivated that's no lie 

I like the way you look at me

Steal my heart and set me free

 

I've seen you around this crazy world

Walking tall and looking fine

Whenever I get close I feel your vibe

Nobody Loved Me Like You

Another morning greets me
Time to face the world again 
One day at a time I take
Step by step I walk with pain
Soldier on is what I must do
I am going solo for a while
When I am low and feeling blue
I think of you and raise a smile 

Nobody loved me like you
There wasn't a thing I could do
Nobody loved me like you
You made all my dreams come true
Nobody loved me like you

Heart Broken

I guess my heart is broken
No more tears to cry
I guess my heart is broken
Time I learnt to fly
I guess my heart is broken
Just look me in the eye
I guess my heart is broken
No more tears to cry

Another morning greets me
But I don't feel a thing
Nothing to look forward to
What joys will the day bring
My stage is empty and forlorn
No song for me to sing
I just go through the motions...

Gone But Not Forgotten

An empty chair where you once sat
A candle that burned with fire
A lonely bed where entwined we lay
Enriched with love and desire
Around this residence I roam 
A house that's not a home

Gone but not forgotten 
You are always on my mind
Gone but not forgotten
They say that love is blind
Gone but not forgotten 
You were one of a kind

Your pictures adorn the walls 
And your presence ...

Grief Is Alive

I am shouting at the sky
Screaming at the stars
Angry with the planet 
That has left me with scars
I am climbing the walls
And kicking down doors
Looking for an answer
To fight my lost cause 

Grief is alive 
It cuts you up like a knife
Grief is alive 
Nothing but trouble and strife 
Grief is alive
It takes over your soul
Grief is alive
It eats you up whole
Grief is alive

You left me standing all alone
With nowhere I could go
Lost in the wilderness 
You know that I loved you so
I know it was your time to depart
As fate had cruelly dealt it's hand
That doesn't take away my pain 
A mystery that I will never understand

I can't let go
I'm holding on

I'm not giving up without a fight

Going through the motions that's what I do 
I wear a smile but inside I'm blue
Going through the motions that's the way I roll 
I look like I believe but I've got no soul
Going through the motions I look  alive
But my heart is broken - I'm dead inside
Going through the motions once again
The sun may be shining but I cry tears of rain
Going through the motions

The sun struggles to make a start
My mind is full of angry clouds
There is a storm raging in my heart

A hurricane in my head tears me apart
Welcome to my world of utter confusion
The life that I lead is just an illusion

It's just another ordinary day

She's Fallen Off My Planet

I was doing okay in my little world 
The flag of love was flying unfurled
But you ain't returning my calls
Girl you got me climbing the walls 
I don't think I can stand it for long
How come everything has gone wrong

She's fallen off my planet 
She's lost in outer space
While my world keeps on spinning 
As tears stream down my face 
She's fallen off my planet 
But I still have desire

Down the boulevards and avenues I roam
I ain't got no place to call my home
Wherever  I lay my head is a random motel
Life is hard and a living hell
You will see me riding the subway train 
With a vacant look and dead eyes of pain
A man forlorn with no destination in sight
A heart that is broken and a body with no fight

She's a real live lady 
And she completely adores me

And when I finally get home

She gives me all her loving
Saves and rescues me
My heart beats faster
And my love explodes

And my kisses for free

Drowning In My Tears

Your smile was a thing of absolute joy 
You loved me with a fiery passion
Like two peas in a pod we thrived
Our hearts were entwined in a beautiful fashion
Each and every special day with you
Was a gift to be truly treasured
Now I have a hole in my heart
An emptiness that cannot be measured

Waves of emotion engulf me
I am swimming against the tide

Your smile lit up the heavens above
Your heart was so full of unconditional love

The Longest Day

I can vividly remember a day back in 1962
When my dear departed mother took me through the ABC cinema door 
I was a mere boy of seven but the occasion I still recall
An introduction to the brutality and horrors of war
The film was an epic and almost three hours long
I sat there like an obedient child and endured
I watched the D-Day landings with a feeling of pride
With the liberation of Fra...

I often wonder about in Russia what might have been
Now it has gone done a bloody path once more
History repeating itself the blood and guts of war 

In the closing days of the Soviet Union
Behind the iron curtain I did dwell
From December 1990 for four years in all

Inhaling with joy the scents and bouquets
Drinking in the bountiful lush visual array

Down I lie onto a bed of romantic intent   
Their fragrance beguiles and intoxicates me

And it's giving me major stress

But I can't eat a bite
My coffee has gone stone cold
And I'm in the mood for a fight

It was a long time ago
When the sun  shone brightly
And you wore a halo glow
The flowers were in full bloom
And birdsong filled the air
Under an azure sky we laughed 
In our world we didn't have a care

Each and every glorious day
I could see the sparkle in your eyes
The look of love nothing more to say

One Tear at a Time

Another day another tear
A week goes by and I'm still here 
The months they fly
What's another year
I still have a mountain to climb
But I will soldier on one tear at a time

Nobody can tell you how to deal with grief
It's something that you alone must endure
A personal pain that eats away
There is no known antidote or cure
One moment your sea is tranquil and calm
The next a giant wave...

There's no difference when you ride an emotional train  
Heart is aching and breaking in two
Soul is lost in the wilderness what can you do

But I'm lost in outer space more dead than alive

Love Has Crucified Me

Love has crucified me,
My heart wants me to stay,
I can’t walk away from,
The vision of you I pray,
Love won’t let me fly,
My wings they have no life,
Love has crucified me,
And it cuts me like a knife,

I am lying on a road of emotion,
Rolling down a hill of sorrow,
Crashed into a wall of despair,
Riding on a highway to no tomorrow,
I am stuck in a dead end street,
Looking for a gui...
