Get On Board 03:26
lyrics

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
lyrics

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 02:55

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

Afraid of the Dark 04:12
lyrics
buy track
Why can't you see How fragile we are? Why don't you know We all carry scars? We are not machines Not just flesh and bone The need to touch is gently carved into our souls Why do you think our worth is efficiency And conditioned responses? There's more of us to see You can wear a suit But when the suit is wearing you You've lost the plot, missed the point There's nothing more to do Who's afraid of the dark? We're all afraid of the dark We're scared of lightening, shadows, God and sea And midnight in the park We need to hold hands Just to get us through 'Cause when you are afraid of the dark There’s nothing more to do Who’s afraid of the dark? The tyrant's not in the castle He's behind tinted glass and steel He believes that the measure of a man Is in how less he can feel What are we now? What shall we become? As they take away all signs of life We’re uncomfortably numb Who's afraid of the dark ... Who’s afraid of the dark ...

Run Away to Nowhere 04:28
lyrics
buy track
If the word's as you say A satellite-like stage Then let's trip out the trap door and leave the rest to play If the world's a bear cage I'm out of here with you And we'll look them in the eyes There's more to life than this life There is a better side Where the grass is greener Where you and me can find Some seeds of inspiration We'll plant and watch them grow And we'll stare them in the eyes And run away to nowhere Across the salty sea Make a new beginning 'Cause now it's you and me Predicting lines on a late show We'll be a cultured pair The new world's finer things were made for us to share Let's contemplate our escape Screw this human zoo And we'll spit them in the eyes And run away to nowhere Across the salty sea Make a new beginning 'Cause now it's you and me. And I see stars in the sky Are they shining for you and me? And I have pocket full of hope But not much more for you and me Let's run away to nowhere Across the salty sea Make a new beginning 'Cause now it's you and me. Let's run away to nowhere Across the salty sea Make a new beginning 'Cause now it's you and me
