Curses & Blessings
03:53
|
|||
|
There are days when I feel blessed, there are days when I feel cursed
There are days when the lines are way too blurred
There are days when I don’t care if I am last or first
There are days I feel my heart is about to burst
There are days when I believe I just need to persevere
But on days with no reprieve, I just need to disappear
There are days I feel prepared to take on all my fears
But I’m mainly trying to stay ahead of all these years
And I’ve been trying to write my name in the ether
Feels like trying to carve my name on water
But if I can make the best of the worst
Of a life so unrehearsed
Then I cannot really say
If I am blessed or I am cursed
And I am only at my best, staying true to what I know
But the weight of all the years can start to take its toll
I am one and my own self, too different from the rest
And it’s always on my mind I must confess
And I’ve been trying to write my name in the ether
Feels like trying to carve my name on the water
But if I can make the best of the worst
Of a life so unrehearsed
Then who can really say
If I am blessed or I am cursed

Meet me on the corner of Brownfield Road
Meet me on the corner and let me know how you are
Cos lately I’ve been thinking about you
Meet me on the corner of Brownfield Road
Been feeling that I’ve needed to get to know you again
Don’t know where the time went
I’d really like to think that I
Could teach you all I’ve come to know
I’d really like to help you try
To find your way along the road
That your gonna walk along
Meet me on the corner of Brownfield Road
We’ll walk around and try and find shelter from the cold
Winter that’s coming
Savour your sweet naiveté
When everything seems to be in your reach
Such a beautiful time, but its gone in a moment
But if you learn simplicity
Time will tell you what you need
For you to make your memories
The way I wanted them to be
Cos they were for you and me
And I am sure that I can learn
More from you than you from me
There are times when I just yearn
To see the world the same as you can see
So much beauty in purity
Meet me on the corner of Brownfield Road
I’ll tell you how to learn what you need to know
How to hear your own intuition
Choose your friends wisely the best you can
Always be there just to lend a helping hand
We all need to lean on each other
Don’t ever think you need to try
To be more than who you are
Cos you will see from time to time
The truth that hides behind the lie
So don’t you to believe it
Time has a way of taking its toll, so try and grow without growing old
Time has a way of taking its toll, so try and grow without growing old
Meet me on the corner of Brownfield Road
Meet me on the corner of Brownfield Road
Meet me on the corner of Brownfield Road

Lazy
04:23
|

I know that I should be trying to do better
To make the most of my time
But time is worth much more than money can buy
It’s ten past one and the morning’s overrun
I got so many things I should do
But tell me where you’re gonna be, cos that’s where I wanna be too
Cos I just don’t feel that I’m wasting my time
If I wanna spend a day or two
Easing my mind leave my worries behind
And I was hoping that maybe
You were feeling lazy too
Come September there’s a change in the weather
And we feel like getting away
I’ll make a reservation and we’ll fly down to San Tropez
It would be fun when we’re laying in the sun
And I’m playing on my guitar
And when night comes we can make sweet love under the stars
Cos I just don’t feel that I’m wasting my time
If I wanna spend a day or two
Easing my mind leave my worries behind
And I was hoping that maybe
You were feeling lazy too
People say to seize the day
There are memories to be made
But I don’t care what people say
My time’s my own but still it slowly slips away
So I’ll enjoy this lazy day
So I just don’t feel that I’m wasting my time
If I wanna spend a day or two
Easing my mind leave my worries behind
And I was hoping that maybe
You were feeling lazy too
No I just don’t feel that it’s a waste of my time
If I wanna spend a day or two
Drinking fine wine leave my worries behind
I’m doing nothing today cos I just wanna be lazy with you
Lets enjoy the moment cos the moment was made for two
(These moments will not wait for you)
So if you don’t mind
I wanna spend some lazy time with you

The In Crowd
03:37
|
|||
|
If I could go back to the beginning then I
Might find it was always the same
And I don’t find comfort in delusion
Some might find that it’s amusing but I don’t wanna play
And I find the company of strangers is all
That I’m mainly ever around
I find I’m a stranger in a strange land
Trying to navigate my way around the madness of crowds
And I don’t pretend that it’s easy to be too proud
But I won’t pretend that I am gonna play along
So I can belong in the in crowd
I like anonymity in numbers so I
Walk by like I’m not really here
Its like no one here can get from under
The pretence that no one wonders why it’s so insincere
And I don’t pretend that it’s easy to be too proud
But I won’t pretend that I am gonna play along
So I can belong in the in crowd
And I don’t pretend that it’s easy to be too proud
But I won’t pretend that I am gonna play along
So I can belong in the in crowd
And I don’t pretend that I know what it’s all about
But I won’t pretend that I like who you are
So that I can be part of the in crowd
So I can be part of the in crowd
Don’t wanna be part of the in crowd

A Troubadour's Lament
04:12
|
|||
|
I stroll down Western Boulevard and breathe the midnight air
The whispering of strangers tell of secrets always shared
The music in my head, it plays a solitary tune
Telling of a man who finds his way to rack and ruin
A story of a fleeting love that ended back in June
A longing for the kind of girl I never really knew
A morning song is playing from the trees at early dawn
To me and just some old stray cat that’s sitting on the lawn
I’m thinkin’ ‘bout a life lived in another place and time
Where I don’t have to sing the same old tune night after night
But if I can find inspiration to tell my
Story in a rhyme if you’ve an ear to lend
I give to you my troubadour’s lament
A second hand mentality will trade the new for old
A trick that bears repeating when you’re further down the road
But a second hand moves quickly, sweeping everything aside
Cos time don’t have a conscience, doesn’t care about your pride
Ask anyone who had a dream that set them on their way
They’ll all have different stories but the endings stays the same
We’ll never get to where we think the road was sure to end
The journey is what matters, so please fare thee well my friend
And if I can find inspiration to tell my
Story in a rhyme if you’ve an ear to lend
I give to you my troubadour’s lament
The early hours of morning seem to wrap me in their shade
Drawing me away from the mistakes that I have made
A full moon has descended now and faded from my view
Memories swirl around my head of things I wish were true
I’m living cheap and easy but my rent is overdue
Its closing time here at the famous old last chance saloon
I think I got here yesterday, I’m guessing around noon
I may just have to leave before too soon
But if I can find inspiration to tell my
Story in a rhyme I hope its time well spent
Cos this is what I do to try and get by
I need a new song that can be my
Story in a rhyme, if you’ve an ear to lend
I really hope u think that it’s been time well spent
I give to you my troubadour’s lament

My Heart's Desire
03:42
|
|||
|
Got a feeling that you understand how to get what you want
And being the kind of man that I am, I keep playing along
Though it’s wise to be ruled by my head
Try as I might I’m too easily led
It doesn’t matter what I try and decide
Cos I know its in my nature that I’m
A slave to my heart’s desire
A slave to my heart’s desire
A slave to my heart’s desire
I got a feeling that you really like me in the palm of your hand
And I know that I should bid you goodnight, but I don’t think that I can
And I know I’m a fool for it all
Cos I can’t turn away when temptation its calling
It seems to be the way that I’m wired
Cos I know its in my nature that I’m
A slave to my heart’s desire
A slave to my heart’s desire
A slave to my heart’s desire
If only I knew how to be wise
Its something I’ve been meaning to try
But I’m always gonna do
What I need to get me through the night
The devil on my shoulder don’t care about my mistakes
And I’m thinking that he seems to be there with every one that I make
And it seems to be the way that I’m wired
Cos I know its in my nature that I’m
A slave to my heart’s desire
A slave to my heart’s desire
A slave to my heart’s desire
A slave to my heart’s desire

Sleepwalking
04:15
|
|||
|
I can’t hold on to what’s not in my hands
I can’t make sense of what I just don’t understand
How can I rest now with my restless mind
How can I get to a place that I just cannot find
Sometimes it feels like I’m not really here
I can’t make sense of my senses cos they’re not so clear
And I fear that I’m slipping away
Nobody sees me and nobody hears what I say
Can it be that I’ve been sleepwalking all the time?
In my mind it’s my reality
Might be fine if I just drift along with the tide
I’m in free fall
I’m just sleepwalking by
I’ve tried to follow the footprints in snow
No sense of time and no sense of where I’m going
Not knowing how I can find my way home
May be I’m finding the footprints are only my own
Can it be that I’ve been sleepwalking all the time?
In my mind it’s my reality
Might be fine if I just drift along with the tide
I’m in free fall
I’m just sleepwalking by
Its so unpleasing
To get the feeling
There is no meaning
That I can
Hold on to
What can I do
I have to admit what I think may be true
I just don’t understand why I still feel like I do
Am I alone if I am dreaming?
And who is everyone else
Not sure what I believe in
And reasoning doesn’t make much sense
Never a day goes by when I don’t think to myself
What’s really going on inside my head?
So many conversations I’m having with myself
I’m in free fall
I’m Sleepwalking again

If I Could
03:21

Perfect motion, open mind’s eye
Found my chosen potion, mind wide
Ocean size
Strange and secret always beautiful
Soul free, only easy
Yes I would
If I could
Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo
Smiling, sleeping, believe in miracles
Don’t try to find meaning
Free myself
Doo doo doo doo doo…..
Weightless, timeless, I wish always
Clear as morning, dawning
Each day to day
Doo doo doo doo doo….

Lonesome As I Go
03:54
|

Time runs slow, lonesome as I go
One more show, keep moving along
Time runs slow, lonesome as I go
Far from home, my lonesome song
The road is my only companion
She is with me through the darkest hours
Make my way in the time that time allows
I’m looking for a new direction
But it doesn’t come easily
The future’s never what you think it used to be
I keep playing this losing game
I keep finding that the rules have changed
I may be different but I’m always gonna stay the same
Time runs slow, lonesome as I go
One more show, keep moving along
Two lives in a lifetime
I’ve been looking for higher ground
I keep losing my wings and falling back down
Too much of a lifetime
Looking for the rainbow’s end
I keep losing my way and starting again
To get ahead I have to lose a lot
I can’t pretend to be what I am not
Can only try and do the best with what I’ve got
Time runs slow, lonesome as I go
One more show, keep moving along
Laid so low, lonesome as I go
One last show, my lonesome song
My lonesome song
My lonesome song
My lonesome song
My lonesome song

Candlelit Photographs

Candlelit photographs
Peace in the aftermath
Of a wounded soul and a grief stricken mind
Candlelit photographs
A posthumous autograph
A need for a connection that’s floating in time
A void that defines you
A space that confines you
Cos there is nowhere else that you can find
An end or beginning
Or any real meaning
That can ever start to give you peace of mind
Candlelit photographs
A ritual and epitaph
A space for lost souls to ever entwine
Candlelit photographs
Questions forever asked
But never with an answer you can find
Photos in candlelight
A space between twilight
Where memories seem to flicker in your soul
Reflections of a light
That seemed to burn so bright
A bitter sweet dance in the afterglow
Candlelit photographs
A ritual and epitaph
A space for lost souls forever entwined
Candlelit photographs
Questions forever asked
But never with an answer you can find
Candlelit photographs
Peace in the aftermath
Of a wounded soul, and a grief stricken mind
Candlelit photographs
Questions forever asked
But I guess it’s been that way for all of tim

Rose Tinted
04:06
|
|||
|
Me and my friends used to go out at the weekend
We’d drink and laugh and put the world to rights
And for a while it seemed like I had all the answers
But now I know how it goes
And though I knew that nothing ever lasts forever
It still seemed everything would always stay the same
But looking back on what my heart and soul were searching for
Well I don’t think that it’s me who ever changed
No I don’t think that I ever really changed
But is the way that I remember it
The way it really used to be
Or are my rose tinted memories playing tricks on me
Sometimes I think it would be nice if I could go back
A time that I have lived and I have known
But it could be that my heart is just deceiving my mind
And I don’t know if I would go
Is the way that I remember it
The way it really used to be
Or are my rose tinted memories playing tricks on me
Is the way that I remember it
Just how I really want it to be
Are my rose tinted memories playing tricks on me
Are my rose tinted memories really what I need?

She is with me through the darkest hours
