'Song and Dance'
The day's too short to stare at the horizon
Waiting for your ship to come in
Placing safe bets at the table
On a game you can never lose or win
Keeping your cards truly hidden
Waiting for the dealer's hand to turn
Even stakes keep you safe from bleeding
Nothing’s lost but nothing’s really learned
You’ve got to dance like there’s no tomorrow
Sing the song like you just don’t care
'Cause when the day is done
At the setting sun
We disappear
And just your song and dance will still be here
Inch along a mealy stem to nowhere
As the butterfly soars up and cuts the blue
In this spec of life that’s gone in a flutter
Deep down you know what you' gotta do
You’ve got to wake up step out those shadows
Let the world see what you can do
Don’t wait for another tomorrow
Tomorrow ain't going to wait for you
You’ve got to dance like there’s no tomorrow
Sing the song like you just don’t care
'Cause when the day is done
At the setting sun
We disappear
And just your song and dance will still be here
(Middle solo )
You’ve got to dance like there’s no tomorrow
Sing the song like you just don’t care
'Cause when the day is done
At the setting sun
We disappear
And just your song and dance will still be here
You’ve got to dance like there’s no tomorrow
Sing the song like you just don’t care
'Cause when the day is done
At the setting sun
We disappear
And just your song and dance will still be here
will still be here just your song and dance
will still be here song and dance

Crystals

'Crystals'
Runs through the rough end of town
Where your feet daren't touch the ground
That’s the place that she is found
When she needs crystals
What costume shall the poor girl where?
What colour shall she paint her hair?
Got to look right when she’s there
For the crystals
And when the world just isn’t right
When she’s too scared to think
She’ll hold on to them oh so tight
'Till it’s alright
Ask her where her money’s gone
She’ll tell you she ain't got none
Ask her what she’s spent it on
lots of crystals
lots of crystals
Trust your intuition
Choose what’s best for you
Let it bathe in moonlight
Let it filter through
Don't trust geology
That’s too much science for me
It’s all spirituality
When you choose crystals
So off she goes back on the train
To the same old place again
The only things that keep her sane
Are the crystals
And when the world just isn’t right
When we’re too scared to think
I'll hold on to you oh so tight
'Till it’s alright
She needs crystals
She needs crystals
We need crystals
I need crystals

Siren Song

'Siren song'
I heard Siren's song
Led me from right to wrong
I gave everything
Just to hear
Siren sing
Don’t blame me, it was the tune, blame it on the band
They just plugged and struck this chord it took me by the hand
I couldn't stop , I had to join, I had to play along
That was decades past I first heard the Siren's song
slave to the Siren's song
Thought I'd lost a day
But I’d sung my life away
All those years gave
From the child
To the grave
Parents lock your kids away plug wax into their ears
Do not let them hear the song that robs you of your years
For once they taste this fruit your children's souls will belong
To those who play and dance and sing to the siren's song
She gives no respite
I sing for her from dawn to night
All my time I gave
Now I’m Siren's slave

Sing Me the Song
04:02

'Sing me the song'
Sing me the song that will make me sleep tonight
Sing it to me low
Sing it to me light
Send it’s sweet whisper to kiss weary eyes
Sing it to me low
Sing it to me light
Give me the tune that will take me by the hand
Pull me from the sea
Rest me on the sand
Rail at those roarers then steer me inland
Pull me from the sea
Rest me on the sand
Just like the brook that finds its way back down to the sea
The song will find our tuneless voice and teach us harmony
Serenade my soul with verse poets' penned
Melody heal
Melody mend
Sing the hymn that makes the ache in our hearts end
Melody shall heal
Melody shall mend
Hum me that tune that takes me through the night
Sing me from the dark
Sing me to the light
Make the airs lay to rest the steely storm's might
Sing me from the dark
Sing me to the light
Just like the brook that finds its way back down to the sea
The song will find our tuneless voice and teach us harmony

'Where does the river flow?'
I’m looking at a dark sky
Thinking on a sunrise
Dreaming of years yet to be
Not knowing where we’re going
Where the rivers flowin'
The safe bets still on you and me
So take your tarot cards
And hide them in the back yard
Where does the river flow?
Where does the river flow?
Cos I cant answer that anymore
Where does the river flow
Where does all that water go?
No one around here knows for sure
The crystal ball's been shattered
As if it really mattered
So through all those smithereens away
And don’t give me predictions
About some dirt track to perdition
The fool's always got the most to say
So if you want your tea leaves read
I’m sorry but going off to bed
Where does the...
I know that I'm here for you
And you are here for me
We don’t know what’s coming next
So why can’t we just be
I’ll tell you what’s a safe bet
I’ll be looking at that sunset
And you’ll be watching it with me
But don’t trust intuition
Or fool hearted premonition
I’m clueless, getting older, as you can see
And if you want to read my palms
I might just take up arms
Where does...

Rock Pool

|

'Rock Pool'
Rock pool
Lost in it’s time
Without a care
Sedated
By dancing light
That holds me there
And if I could
I would stay here
Stay here and while the days away
I know I should
I should be here
here forever and a day
Rock pool
Sifting sands
Take me anywhere
Captured
It’s ragged calm
Has caught me in its snare
The surf's roar
Is far away
It's raging voice you seems to quell
A troubled world
Is kept at bay
As I rest inside your dappled drowsy spell

Babe It's Me and You
03:09
|

'Babe, it’s me and you'
There, you sit away from me
We may be worlds apart
But this thing will be through
So listen to your heart
We both know what is true
Babe, it’s me and you
We know the song remains the same
So we won’t change the chords
Or add some dumb refrain
This harmony’s for two
For us to rehearse through
Babe, it’s me and you
We know that we’re in this together
So keep that in your heart
This is a storm
That we’re gonna weather
It will never ever break us
Cut us or divide us
Knock us down
Or tear our love apart
So why you asking out the door
Saying this day is done
That there’s a better view
Past this setting sun
We both know that’s not true
Babe, it’s me and you
We know we’re in this together...
Here I sit, I wait
For your long distance call
And when you get through
I know that you'll recall
What we always knew
Babe,
it’s me and you

'I ain’t got a ticket to ride'
I ain’t got a ticket to ride
When you wake up in the morning it will still be me that you’re lying beside
I forgot to draw up a master plan
I just crashed out on your sofa, woke up in the morning and here I still am
I just stumbled forward
Ambition outside
Nothing to declare
Nothing to hide
No place to be
Nothing to confide
I ain’t got a ticket to ride
I never thought to bring a map with me
I just followed the stars, I got here on time (approximately)
And did you think back then that you’d hear me say
“Remember that time, so long ago, seems like yesterday”
Now we stumble forward
Ambition outside
Nothing to declare
Nothing to hide
No place to be
Nothing to confide
We ain’t got a ticket to ride
Hey don’t you dream of all those ‘could be’s’
Forget the journeys that you never made
The grass is never really greener
They’re filtered lives that trick the eye to thinking you ain’t made the grade
We’re still here
So don’t you dream of all those could be’s
Forget the journeys that you never made
The grass is never really greener
They’re just filtered lives that trick the eye to thinking you ain’t made the grade
We ain’t got a ticket to ride
We just wake up in the morning and it’s you and me that we’re still beside
And we’re stumbling forward
Ambition outside
Nothing to declare
Nothing to hide
Nowhere to be
Nothing to confide
We ain’t got a ticket to ride
Yeh we’re stumbling forward
Ambition outside
Nothing to declare
Nothing to hide
No place to be
Nothing to confide
We ain’t got a ticket to ride
A ticket to ride
We don’t care

The Bridge
03:18

'The Bridge'
His mind detoured and took him there
The broken highway, beyond repair
I could steal an hour, but why do that
When the time is right you gotta throw in the hat
He said
Take me to the bridge
Don’t you let me doubt it
Take me to the bridge
There's no doubt about it
It’s my darkest day
Take me to the bridge
He'll inconvenience the 9.15
Those people marching by won’t know what they’re seeing
He'll halt their tracks, they’ll stop and stare
Go home tell their families that they were there
I saw him on the bridge
Don’t you ever doubt it
I saw him on the bridge
I could have talked him out of it
But I had to catch my train
I saw him on the bridge
The road's hard to see
When you’ve got weary eyes
and you're standing alone
Its hard to see a brighter side
Well I heard they talked him down
He fell into the arms that wrapped around
A broken frame that would see better days
I like to think the world will hear him say
Take me to the bridge
I'm gonna leap across it
Take me to the bridge
I’m gonna dance across it
Cos its my better day
So take me to the bridge
Im gonna jump across it
Take me to the bridge
I'm gonna dance across it
Cos it's my better day
Take me to the bridge
Take me to the bridge

Stanton Drew

'Stanton Drew'
Lost for words
Lost in time
Lost in space
In search of some peace of mind
It's here to find
Off the map
Off the road
Drawn like moths
To where we first sang our song
It's where we belong
And if I had just one more day
I would spend it here time wasting with you
And if I could change just one thing
I'd change to stone
Become still
Never to move
I caught her there
Bathed in lost worlds
Lost in stones
As summer's sun's butter light
Caught the night
Take me there
Rest my head
Upon the heath
Beneath the stars
And let me share
The ancient's air
And if I had just one more day
I would spend it here time wasting with you
And if I could change just one thing
I'd change to stone
Become still
Never to move

Too Much Noise
03:45
|

'Too much noise'
The writer's prose
The player's touch
The angel's voice
It’s all too much
The sculptor's hand
The painter's eye
The singer's song
Get's no reply
The comic's quip
The poet's rhyme
The film-star's looks
Hey not this time
The great mind's thought
The preacher's prayer
The celeb's date
We just don’t care
too much noise
Too much noise
Too much noise
Too much noise
Too much noise is banging in our heads
We can’t hear what you said
Too much noise
Too much noise
Too much noise
Let's all shout loud
and louder still
we're at the door
but no-one's in
and no-one sees
and no-one hears
we mouth the words
then disappear
too much noise
Too much noise
Too much noise
Too much noise
Too much noise is banging in our heads
We can’t hear what you said
Too much noise
Too much noise
Too much noise
I like it here in my home
I like it here in my room
I like it here in my chair
I like it here in my head
too much noise
Too much noise
Too much noise
Too much noise
Too much noise is banging in our heads
We can’t hear what you said
Too much noise
Too much noise
Too much noise
too much noise
Too much noise
Too much noise
Too much noise
Too much noise is banging in our heads
We can’t hear what you said
Too much noise
Too much noise
Too much noise
There’s too much noise
There's too much noise.

Lost

'Lost'
So lost
From decade to decade
Parisian or renegade
So lost
So lost
Blindfolded in the night
Someone switch on the light
So lost
Need a reason
Need a scapegoat
Need a meal
Need a lame excuse
Somewhere to rest abuse
So lost
So lost
Aimlessly roam
Pay the money
See the show
Go home
So lost
