CENTURY OF CHANGE
Is this the century of change?
A major change in the world
A new found interest in love and compassion
An end to suffering and peril.
Is this the century of change?
A major change in your life
Joining hands in a chain
Preventing wrong, doing right.
After many years of cold hearts
There’s a hundred years of new starts.
You just have to believe. -- You just have to believe.
We’ve had centuries of hate
A major hate in the world
A new found interest in greed and corruption
And we’ve got our backs to the wall.
We’ve had centuries of hate
Now it’s time for some hope
Before you’re gasping for air
Before they tighten the rope.
After many years of cold hearts
There’s a hundred years of new starts.
You just have to believe. -- You just have to believe.
This is the century of change
This is the century of change
All you have to do is believe
All you have to do is believe in LOVE !
Is this the century of love?
A major end to despair
You didn’t need to be born in the 60’s
To wear flowers in your hair.
It’s an alternative path
Just visualise the rain
It’s not an image of hurt
It gives life to the grain.
After many years of cold hearts
There’s a hundred years of new starts.
You just have to believe. -- You just have to believe.

BLUE FILTERS
Rain’s creeping up without warning
Subtle the acid effect
It’s cold but it’s globally warming
On a ship getting totally wrecked
They’re dumbing it down from the ground up
On first sighting it’s hard to detect
Though crumbling, still beautiful
Captured on a phone with special effect
And I’m gonna have blue filters
Preventing frequencies
Taking a hold of me
Blue filters
Obstructing the passage of pure white light
Shallow and flash superficial
A cursory mark of our times
Desperately scratching the surface
And we don’t recognise the signs
Blue waking up in the morning
Navy the end of the day
Normalised life keeps us blinkered
Keeps us guessing
All along the way
And I’m gonna have blue filters
Preventing frequencies
I am gonna have
Blue filters
Preventing frequencies
Taking a hold of me
Blue filters
Obstructing the passage of pure white light

DANGEROUS FREAK
It’s 10am
And I am about to go out to buy a suit
So I commute.
It’s 5 past 10
And I’m in the car and I’m travelling en route
Through hats and ties
That I despise
I’m measured up to find my size.
My old blue jeans
Have always been such a comfortable cloth to wear
They didn’t tear.
The button flies
Fasten easily for my systematic eyes
Above my waist I’ll have a coat
A dangerous shirt around my throat.
I’ll be a dangerous freak
It’s 8pm
And everything fits like a glove that points the way
Make my day.
I’m going out
And I’m told I’m as sharp as a knife for cutting fruit.
Mildly checked
I’ll look my best
A hazardous look
The acid test.
I’ll be a dangerous freak
I’ll be a dangerous freak

HEAD OF GLASS
On the first day my true love gave to me a head of glass
It stands by time and light is shone on the head of glass
Love was never clear until it showed to me, transparency
Now I can see what’s going on In this head of glass
Other objects seem opaque when close to this head of glass
People say that all in love are blind
But not this time ‘cause I can see to find my way
Whatever the design
I don’t want to live without your body near mine
I’ll understand anon
I was confused, you gave no clues
There’s no expression on the head of glass
I hang my spectacles every night on my head of glass
So when I dream it helps me notice when you walk past
If I look deep into those crystal eyes
It’s no surprise that I can see to find my way
Chorus:
Whatever the design
I don’t want to live without your body near mine
I’ll understand anon
I was confused, you gave no clues
There’s no expression on the head of glass
You kept your secrets from the head of glass
People say that all in love are blind
But not this time ‘cause
I can see to find my way
Repeat chorus

GREY DOGS
What is life like over the hill?
I thought I saw it clearly from here.
Dismissive glances and poison pills
Stopping your heart.
What is life like standing still
When everything is racing ahead?
Do you lay down in the daffodils
And dream of days when colours were bright and clear
And grey dogs never clouded your path with tears?
What is life like when you find
There’s nothing more to offer the deal
Envisaging warmth, only feeling the chill
Stopping your heart.
When life’s a fight to be recognised
And nobody remembers your face
Quack like ducks when you’re hypnotised
You seem Crazy
When the finger snaps – stay asleep
And you dream of precious memories that you keep.
Grey - Om
Grey - Om
What is life like over the hill?
You can’t begin to manage the day
Pace in circles as the time winds down
Stopping your heart.
Whatever happened to childish thrills
Now challenges and reason prevail
Though you are present – invisible
So dream of days when colours were bright and clear
And grey dogs never clouded your path with tears.
Grey - Om
Grey - Om

VALENTINE
It’s cold outside
But it’s wonderfully warm in here
To send a rose
Is a gift of affection, love and care
As long as the clock still chimes
For present and for old times
You’ll be my Valentine
If Pablo said “Love is the greatest refreshment in life”
Then such fine wine can be seen as the poison of delight
But as long as the clock still chimes
As long as the song still rhymes
You’ll be my Valentine
We stand beside each other
Through thick and thin
And when you’re close
Strings keep tugging on crazy violins
As long as the sun still shines
Whatever the grand design
You’ll be my Valentine
As long as the clock still chimes
For present and for old times
You’ll be my Valentine

OUTMANOEUVRE
A figure on the floor
Steps to the podium
Becoming obvious
There’s only deceit and lies.
It’s just a harmless clown
But he knows what he does
The law is written down
But it is not complied with
Chorus
I’m not willing to walk the line
I’m not travelling stormy seas
I’m gonna walk in a zig zag line
Don’t outmanoeuvre me.
I have no time for you
You undermine my world
My love is positive
Don’t need this negativity.
The children speak the truth
They are the future now
It’s gone completely mad
And all your responsibility.
Chorus
And when it’s time to go
He digs his heals in fast
This clown’s no Romeo
He has no silver tongue.
When heads are in the sand
The castle falling down
And sinking in the moat
There’ll be no place to run.
Chorus

What's Inside?

WHAT’S INSIDE ?
What’s inside the glass head?
*SPACE*
What’s inside the glass head?
*NOTHING*
No horizons or empty thoughts
Nothing given, gained or got.
If there was just a spark of hope
Even seen through a microscope
Oh oh oh.
What’s behind the government?
*GREED*
What’s good about the government?
*NOTHING*
Holding on as the world goes ‘round
To every Euro, Bitcoin and Pound
Every president, minister, chief
Every conman, millionaire thief
Oh oh oh.
Where is our potential?
*LOOK*
What is our potential?
*LOVE*
If everyone in the world unites
Globally banishing hate and spite
We would have an amazing place
Paradise for every species and race
Oh oh oh.

SINGING WITH THE SPACEBOY
I never knew him
But he was a friend of mine.
I never had the chance
To thank him for his life.
Looking down upon me
From his capsule in the sky
Teaching me that I need not comply.
Then there was music
Transmitting from outer space
And people all around were looking up to him.
Making no predictions
And breaking all the rules
Synthesis and guitars became my tools.
Chorus:
Singing with the space boy
Can you hear the sound?
Waves of all the music
Spinning around.
They never knew him
But they felt his influence
There’s no resistance from such gravitational force.
If you’re feeling funky
A rebel on the street
Nothing in your head is so unique.
Chorus:
Singing with the space boy
Can you hear the sound?
Waves of all the music
Spinning around.
Na na, nana na
Na na, nana na
Na na, nana na
