Find your way

Shake me
Take me
Wide awake me
Find me a place to stay
My compass don’t work
It don’t find home
Someone point the way
Abide me
Guide me
Decide for me
I cannot make that choice
Too much on the menu
To feed this bursting heart
Someone be my voice
And these times are strange
How we can talk in a million ways
But the line's engaged
Or we could talk in a million ways
A billion ideas
A trillion opinions
Every second of every hour of every day
That’s why you can’t find your way
Feel me
Heal me
Find the real me
Somewhere deep inside
Ain’t been seen
In a pretty while
Since I found that place to hide
Make me
Brake me
Consolidate me
Merge me in some big idea
Shake my hand
Let’s seal the deal
Before we all disappear
And these times are strange...

Song for the Duped
03:18
|
|||
This is the song for the duped
So take it in
Don't question what you hear
You can't go wrong, so just sing along
To this pretty ditty for your pretty ears
Here is some post truth, clap trap junk
So stand up and take it like a man
You may not agree, but between you and me
You’ve just signed up to the plan
‘Cos there ain’t no room for honesty
There ain’t no place for truth
Sincerity is the myth you’ll never see
And you're wasting your breath on me
When you mention integrity
So sing the song for the duped with me
This ain’t the song for the wise
If you’re wise this ain’t the song for you
I spent all my time making lines scan and rhyme
I sent clever to the back of the queue
So here’s to the hollow and the cold
Let’s raise a glass to the shallow and the proud
Their flag is unfurled, they inherit the world
So sing the song and sing it strong and loud
‘Cos there ain’t no room for honesty...
You knew the dice were loaded, you knew the deck was stacked
You knew the outcome of this merry game
The cards were on the table, you knew the deal was fixed
But you threw your hand in just the same
So that was the song for the duped,
Every word was true, I am sure you’ll all agree
But it all went wrong, when you tried to sing along
So why not try again to sing along with me
‘Cos there ain’t no room for honesty...

It's OK
04:20
|

I felt that chill on the night-shift
And I thought I saw a glimpse of you
I raised my arms in sweet surrender
I did not know what else that I could do
I stood and waited for your encore
For the sign that we're all waiting for
But silence handed me the answer
There’s nothing, no nothing, behind that door
Hey, it's OK
Hey, it’s OK
Where you go
Where you're gonna be
Hey, it’s OK
Hey, it’s OK
Which ever way
It’s OK with me
I bowed my head in contemplation
I'd found the missing piece and I was free
And then you came from beyond reason
And tied that Gordian knot right around me
Hey, it's OK...
I drift through dreaming's potent nocturne
And try to solve the crossword's final clue
You could be somewhere / You could be nowhere
My thoughts will shift and turn, then fall on you
Hey, it’s OK
Hey, it’s OK
Where you go
Where you're gonna be
Hey, it’s OK
Hey, it’s OK
Which ever way
it’s OK with me
If we turn to dust
It’s OK with me
Or in heavenly grace
It’s OK with me

Give it to me
03:51

Call me super-natural
Endangered species, Super Man
Empower me with acknowledgement
Biography if you can
Shower me with adjectives
Call me jailer
Call me key
Give me title
Reassurance
Specify
Give it to me
And I don't understand
Slight of hand
Coded words
Nothingness
Finity
Finally
Give it to me
Call me Captain Caveman
Pneumatic new man
Referee
Enlist me in an index
Mr Miscellaneous could suit me
Classify my existence
Say I'm something
Say I'm not
Give me title
Reassurance
Specify
Give it to me
And I don't understand...
A man is stranded
Haul me in
Make sure I'm branded
And I don't understand...
Make me radio-active
Interactive
Cyber-cat
Give me my location
Set the station
Where I'm at
Outline all the boundaries
Won’t you mark me on the map
Give me title
Reassurance
Specify
Give it to me
And I don’t understand...
A man is stranded
Haul me in
Make sure I'm branded
And I don’t understand...

Bubblin' over
03:03
|

It's a bubblin' over
You can feel its heat
It's splashin' and a spillin' and surgin' and a comin' down your street
You can almost smell it
It's floatin' in the air
It sure is big and if you really look hard and you really focus hard you can see it somewhere
It's a bubblin' over / Comin' after you
Bubblin' over / What ya gonna do?
Bubblin' over' / Coming after you
Bubblin' over / What ya gonna do?
It's a bubblin' over / Comin' after you
Bubblin' over / What ya gonna do?
Bubblin' over / Comin' after you
Bubblin' over / What ya gonna do?
You can almost taste it
Like a burnin' on your tongue
Ted from round the corner says they’re from the sewers and Ted is rarely wrong
He says there's no time for praying
Sentiment you can keep
Look close into the eyes of your kiddies and your wives if they don't look right take 'em out while they sleep
It’s a bubblin’ over…
Charlie saw it in the papers
He reads between the lines
We've gotta move quick,
Before the forces combine
He's gonna build an Eden
A paradise state
With free flowin' booze and arms to the teeth and a castle in the middle
And a real high gate
It's a bubblin’ over...

Wake up
Get out of bed
Sober up that boozy head
You're not the only show in this town
The spotlight's not just on you
Or the things that you do
You're not the only show in this town
Yes, you can do amazing things
Circumnavigate Saturn's rings
Split an atom or maybe two
Don't forget who shares the bed with you
Who do you think you are?
Some kind of megastar?
You're not the only cheese on the plate
You think you've won the race
But you're not even third place
Before you get on the podium
Please wait
Yes, you can perform amazing feats
As the world it bends beneath your feet
You'll change it all with your best laid plans
Be careful of the power resting in your hands
Yes, you can do amazing things
Circumnavigate Saturn's rings
Split an atom or maybe two
Don't forget who shares the bed with you
You think you've got it all
Learn to walk before you fall
You're not the only room with a view
Are you sure you've won the day
As you start to fade away
Before you count those blessings
Make sure they belong to
Yes, you can perform amazing feats
As the world it bends beneath your feet
You'll change it all with your best laid plans
Be careful of the power resting in your hands
You’re not the only show in this town

Get on board
03:26

I woke up this morning
I looked out to sea
I saw a blue boat coming
Coming towards me
Get on board mister
There's a world to see
Don't miss this ride sunshine
Get on board with me
Now I saw many wonders
Strange people did I meet
And on my endless journey
I longed to rest my feet
But something kept me moving
Would not let me be
Don't miss this ride sunshine
Get on board with me
And I sing
Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo, la te dah, de dah
And you sing
Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo, , la te dah, de dah
De dah dah
I looked up at the horizon
I was on my own
I couldn’t find direction
I couldn’t see my home
But then I heard you calling
Calling out to me
Forget the ride sunshine
Come on home to me
And I sing...
I woke up this morning
I looked out to sea
I wouldn't change what I have
For all that I could see
The treasure that I longed for
It all rests with me
Forget the ride sunshine
Get on board with me
Forget the ride sunshine
Get on board with me
Forget the ride sunshine
Get on board with me
And I sing
Billy Billy Billy
When you coming home?

Moving into your scene
04:23
|
|||
What jokes shall I tell?
Shall I stare at my shoes?
Is it hair wax or gel?
How should I be with you?
Shall I restyle my hair?
Take on a new guise?
What clothes shall I wear?
What songs do I like?
What beliefs apply?
And what does it mean
Moving into your scene?
What does it mean
Moving into your scene?
As I give my explanation
For your investigation
What does it mean
Moving into your scene?
What films have I seen?
What books have I read?
Is corduroy in vogue?
Is rock and roll dead?
Shall I make up the lines?
Or rehearse them all through?
Shall I make the first move?
Write you a song?
What shall I be with you?
And what does it mean...
Shall I make up the lines?
Or rehearse them all through?
Shall I make the first move?
Write you a song?
What shall I be with you?
And what does it mean...

Blue bird

Blue bird
Don't let them clip your wings
Soar high
In the sky
Take your leave
Find amber skies
And dreams to fill your eyes
A warm stream will lift you high
Out of danger
Out of sight
Winter's snap will pass you by
Blue bird
Blue bird
Fly for me
See the fools
They’re happy on the ground
They can't see
What you see
Blue bird
Fly away from me
Find the path
I could not see
I know my wish will take you away from me
I'll lose your song
You'll find your way
And so my love I must set you free
Blue bird
Blue bird
Fly for me

Pilgrims
05:53
|
|||
Far away near Emmaus
Down an old dirt track
Some disciple and his friend,
Said The Lord had come back
We could go there
Might see Him there
Or let’s climb to the mountain's pass
Where many a soul has died
Eight thousand feet above the sea
St Bernard as our guide
We could climb there
We could be there
If we were pilgrims
We'd know which was the way
The compass in our heart
Would find a place to stay
But we’re not pilgrims
Because we’ve lost our way
We’ve lost our beating heart
And can't find a place to stay
Our journey's on a live stream
Feelings for all to see
Until it all means nothing
Then nothing follows me
And you
And everyone
Stop at San Giovanni
Bow to Padre Pio
He used to rise up to the sky
He'd read the people’s souls
He'd read you
He’d read me
If we were pilgrims...
We want miracles and healing
Souvenirs to show
But we’ve burnt the map that finds them
And don’t know where to go
Where to go
Where shall we go?
There’s this place along Camino
Where they wash the pilgrims feet
They give food and prayer and shelter
And somewhere safe to sleep
We could rest there
Let's sleep there
If we were pilgrims...
Find your way
Find your way
Find your way
Find your way
