TWO SHOES
There’s a madness around us in disguise
Glamour, goodness and health all conveyed in lies
It’s not a man in a hat with a stylish beard
It’s the killer beside me and you that I fear.
Make the break from conditioning
I wanna stand up
I wanna scream out
I wanna live life to the full
I want nothing to go wrong
I want a life that’s slick and cool
I wanna live life
With two shoes on.
See the sadness beneath the painful eyes
Cries for help in the last breath before demise
Close your minds, deny it and look away
When your planet is done …
It’s gone – That’s the price you pay
Make the break from conditioning
I wanna stand up
I wanna scream out
I wanna live life to the full
I need to point out all that’s wrong
I want a life that’s slick and cool
I wanna live life
With two shoes on.
Make the break from conditioning
I wanna stand up
I wanna scream out
Your conditioning makes you look away
I wanna live life to the full
I want nothing to go wrong
I want a life that’s slick and cool
I wanna live life
Why don’t you save life?
I wanna live life to the full
I need to point out all that’s wrong
I want a life that’s slick and cool
I wanna live life
With two shoes on.
Make the break from conditioning
I wanna live life
With two shoes on.

GLASS STAGE
There was a time you were everything
But now I'm tired of remembering
Just sad days
I found it hard to control myself
Could not collate between love or stealth
You mind games
My shame
Who's blame ?
But now my focus is free
I can see ways
Through a glass stage
With my song quill
Never standing still
Have a good day
On the glass stage
At the Tower Mill
There was a month that went on for years
There was a river that flowed with tears
Just bad days
But now my lover has rescued me
I've found the greatest epiphany
It's transparent
You're not my friend
So it's the end
Now that my focus is free
I can see ways
Through a glass stage
With my song quill
Never standing still
Have a good day
On the glass stage
At the Tower Mill
No more blues and misery
All is light and pure clarity ...
I can see ways
Through a glass stage
I can see ways
Through a glass stage
With my song quill
Never standing still
Have a good day
On a glass stage
At the Tower Mill
Have it your way
On the glass stage

The Storm
Life's fabricated with corners
Nothing is simple and straight
But all the events run in order
Decisions and choices we make
Devious the curves and the corners
Treacherous corners trip you up and down
Often you'll be lying on the border
Not knowing whether you should smile or frown
Life's not about waiting for the storm to pass
It's not about suffering the pain
No matter how short or long it lasts
It's all about learning to dance in the rain.
Clouds can relate to a heartache
Tears can relate to a hurt
The miserable rain can sustain life
Mask tears and wash away dirt
We cover our eyes from the water
Searching for somewhere to keep dry our heads
Often you'll be lying undercover
When you should be running with the wind instead
Life's not about waiting for the storm to pass
It's not about suffering the pain
No matter how short or long it lasts
It's all about learning to dance in the rain.

SMELL THE COFFEE AND RISE
She used to be happy
And then she met you
She thought you were super
And you were so natural
Nothing ever goes to plan
Nothing ever lasts
Your future doesn't lie ahead
Your ghost lives in her past
She used to love you
And then love drained away
Far into the distance
She watched it evaporate
Darkness and the shadows hang
From skies now overcast
Where once your face shone in her mind
Is now blurred and fading fast
Sleepy morning eyes
Smell the coffee and rise
You know that good will come from this
You've seen the phoenix rise
And though the path may not seem clear
There's room to improvise
Sleepy morning eyes
No more pain and sighs
Sleepy morning eyes
Smell the coffee and rise

PEPPERPOT
Walk gingerly
Take care on salted pavements
Thwart injury
Beware the heady fragrance
Love is a dangerous falling slope
Hidden by mirrors, lights and smoke
When ever it's chilli please take care
When breathing in ....
Just like a sneeze
Love is like a pepperpot
That's bringing the grinder to his knees
And oh so very spicy spicy spicy
Expel the air
With hints of hot Aleppo
It's everywhere
Yet much like finding Waldo
Love is around , it can't be stopped
Finding 'the one' until you're dropping
Catching your throat
And nipping your eyes, easily ....
Just like a sneeze
Love is like a pepperpot
That's bringing the grinder to his knees
And oh so very spicy spicy spicy
You crave the taste on your tongue
Love is what makes the world go 'round
A mist of dust floating down
Intoxicating and very, very .....
Ahh - ahh ...
Ahh - ahh ...
Ahh - ahh ...
Ahh - ahh ...
Just like a sneeze
Love is like a pepperpot
That's bringing the grinder to his knees
And oh so very spicy spicy spicy
Just like a sneeze
Love is like a pepperpot
That's bringing the grinder to his knees
And oh so very spicy spicy spicy

3 SONGS AND A BOTTLE OF WINE
There's a tragic love song waiting in the wings
Happiness and tears for better things
Everyone relates to pain
Chilling tales in burning rain
After 3 songs and a bottle of wine
Will she give you love
And will she need you?
After 3 songs and a bottle of wine
Will you find your own road
Or will she drive you home?
There's a line between release and self control
Poised to sing an audiograph of bleeding souls
After all the melody is done
Of partial truths and slight fiction
After 3 songs and a bottle of wine
Will she give you love
And will she bleed you?
After 3 songs and a bottle of wine
Will you find your own road
Or will she drive you home?
Everybody said that you were different
Everybody said it just takes time
To find your dreams and realise ambition
But all they ever did was bring you wine
After 3 songs and a bottle of wine
Will she give you love
And will she need you?
After 3 songs and a bottle of wine
Will she give you love
And will she bleed you?
After 3 songs and a bottle of wine
Will you find your own road
Or will she drive you home?
One song ... One glass
Good Things ... don't last
One song ... One glass
Good things ... must pass .....

TRIANGLE
You can strum my strings
You can bend my bow
Build a dam - Stop the waters flow
This rock will roll
You can have opinions and will not be swayed
Many lies are told in communiqués
It's mumbo jumbo
You can quiz a truth but there's some undeniable
You can beat a drum but you can't beat a triangle.
You can cut your hair and lose all your strength
Tune into my channel on the right wavelength
Ride the airwaves
You can power my valves
You can blow my horn
But you can't get funky if the soul has gone
Too heavy to weigh
You can knock out a tune but that don't make it musical
You can beat a drum but you can't beat a triangle.
Wey Wey eh eh can't beat a triangle
Wey Wey eh eh can't beat a triangle
You can ring my bell on my tambourine
Have a petrol dream in a tangerine
Acetylene !
You can quiz a truth but there's some undeniable
You can beat a drum but you can't beat a ……
Wey Wey eh eh can't beat a triangle
Wey Wey eh eh can't beat a triangle
You can knock out a tune but that don't make it musical
You can beat a drum but you can't beat a triangle.

6 GEARS IN REVERSE
Trying to make improvements in your life
Finding ways to make the darkness bright
Staring at the sun without damaging your eyes
All it takes to find a little hope
Is the realisation that we can cope
With the challenges ahead
That life will throw at you
But it all takes time
And it's undermined
What makes this journey worse
Is the six gears in reverse.
Soon you realise velocity
The singing of the wind in harmony
The white lines in the nearing distance guide your road
Believing that the end is just a dream
Always out of reach or so it seems
Every day one closer but never further on
But it still takes time
And it's undermined
What makes this journey worse
Is the six gears in reverse.

DOG IN HER SOCKS
She's got a runaway dog in her socks
Chasing so fast so it don't get lost
Cornering streets
And across the fields
Mud on her toes where no cotton shields
How did she ever make it good?
I just knew she would.
There's a runaway train in her brain
Seatbelts undone in her aeroplane
Sharp in her sights is the red brick wall
Mountains aside
She avoids them all ...
How did she ever make it good?
I just knew she would.
She's got flyaway birds in the sky
Incandescent ideas to make you high
Playing her music with soul and feel
Too many hats but a strange appeal
How did she ever make it good?
I just knew she would.

TANGENTIAL MEDITATION
(Logan / Mcfarlane)
You lose your mind to her reflection
With eyes that never let you go
You follow blind in sheer confusion
And place your heart under control
Then you stop for a while
To embrace a trance ascending
So many worlds
Merely touching
Contemplating
To correct a path
Change the points to reach your station
Tangential meditation
Your weary soul forever searching
To find that metaphysical land
Your focal point slightly corrected
At higher levels understand
Then you stop time and space
Free the love
End pretending
So many worlds
Merely touching
Contemplating
To correct a path
Change the points to reach your station
Tangential meditation
