Notes On Life
Here I am again locked out in the cold
My friends are all long gone tucked up in their homes
But I’m still right here right here here on my own.
I don’t know where to go from here
And it’s less I understand
Each direction seems so pointless
I miss my childhood dreams
Ooooh ooooh aye ya ya ya ya
Ooooh ooooh aye ya ya ya
Now the technological age has dawned
The matrix spins a web intricate and dark
I’m gonna sail away on a software arc.
Nothing for me to do now but gather some stones
I’m gonna head up the river to the hills and build a home
Fresh water clear and babbling strong.
I’ll stand on a mountain
I’ll run in the sunshine
I’ll fly a kite on the breeze
Find a direction and call it a lifetime
Rekindle a childhood dream.
Ooooh ooooh aye ya ya ya ya
Ooooh ooooh aye ya ya ya
Ooooh ooooh aye ya ya ya ya
Ooooh ooooh aye ya ya ya

It’s Your Time
Don’t shake a stick at your love at a time like this
Don’t turn your head when your loved one asks for a kiss
Not at a time like this,
And don’t depend on anyone to save you from the midlife shits
It’s a hard life Betty
We ain’t got enough for the kids
I don’t wanna end like this.
Sing sing ring ring the bells as your coming in
Let them them chime.
Don’t depend on government to give you that life long bliss
The world all around you is ruled from your head not his
Don’t let ‘em get to the kids,
Have you taken stock of the last big shock who dares?
If they took it down from the inside now who cares?
Who’s gonna right that wrong?
Sing sing ring ring the bells
Or you can rattle your Loose Change
There’s girls on the high streets picking out designer coats
There’s wind in the sails why don’t we head up the coast
To the lucky ones let’s toast
The ads on the t.v. showing us the latest craze
Where’s the cracked crazed face of the man in the urine clothes
Yes nobody wants to know
I saw him last year in the snow by the underground
But this year it’s R.I.P. ‘cause he’s not around
I hope his family found his bones
Sing sing ring ring the bells as your coming in
Let them them chime.
The tigers eye can see
Economy falling free
It’s a good thing
Take it from me
Wanting wanting people
Soon you will see
All that you need
Is something to eat
Well I don’t have a yacht
But I still gotta lot to give
A smile and a ryhme
And I still got the will to live
Let’s make the best of it
And don’t shake a stick at your love at a time like this
It could turn to a flame in your hand and you’ve had your last kiss
Not at a time like this
Sing sing ring ring the bells as your coming in
Let them them chime.
Sing sing ring ring the bells as your coming in
It’s Your time!

It’s Always Today
Mind controlling t.v. shows make a soul grow cold.
I have a new lease of life in my bones now that I’ve grown old.
Turning on the lights in my mind, exposing you.
Your pyramid and miracle schemes enslaving youth.
You can’t hurt me anymore
‘Cause I don’t want anything
That you could supply
I’ll find it all on my own
On my own
Wo oh ohoh ohoho
You tap the earth of riches and ores, that’s grown old.
We tap the ground under our feet, in a dancing mode.
Hello today, it’s always today! I like today!
I’m gonna hit the streets and hop a beat, get get some flow
You can’t hurt me anymore
‘Cause I don’t want anything
That you could supply
I’ll find it all on my own
On my own
Put the vibrations out on the street give love
Vibrations out on the street give love.
Put the vibrations out on the street give love
Vibrations out on the street give love.
Give love
Wo oh ohoh ohoho

Take Me Home
I’ve been working hard to build this up,
It’s built from heart and truth and rock.
You can spread your love like gasoline,
You can burn it down,
It’s nothing I haven’t seen.
Will you take me home?
I’m ready for love.
Can you take me on?
I’m a loaded gun.
As I take my blanket from the floor
I shake away all that I won’t carry.
Even my dusty desert boots
Are questioning the route we’re taking.
Oh I’m staying open hearted this time,
This time I’ll avoid the battle-ground.
Yes I’m staying open hearted this time,
This time I will lay my weapons down.
Will you take me home?
I’m ready for love.
Can you take me on?
I’m a loaded gun.
Will you take me home?
I’m ready for love.
Love.
Love.
Love.
Love.

Off the Rails
Buddy can you hear me now will help me?
I’m a friend in need.
Alpha Charlie Pluto Foxtrot
Lately I’ve been off the rails.
Coming home late I’m checking out early.
The sun’s well up before I’m down.
Looking for love or blood I’m easy,
I just watched a pirate ship go down.
Rumble fish we get hooked early,
It’s reeling me in I was caught upstream.
Still running headlong into the headlights
Still blinded by a dream.
It’s brighter now than the scorching hot sun
It’s so big now it’s a planet dream.
It’s a planet dream.
The wind chills dangers all around me
I’m hanging on like an Autumn leaf
There’s clouds at war in the skies above me
Hot flames licking at my feet
But I am numb to my surroundings
The backward bending curve of pain.
I feel no pain pain pain.
Love deals its hurt to me again I feel no pain.
I feel no pain from love again.

City Living
Got this song I don’t know if from below or above.
But who am I to sing in the tower of love?
Who are they to stand in the firing-line?
Rolling in time getting in tune with city living,
A lady stumbles into an alley at night.
You’re testing the payers of your mother now little girl,
You’re pushing your guardian angel too far
You can decide you can choose
Whether you lose or whether your winning
Inspiration, I’ll have a shot of that over here
Exultation, you can fly out like the lark at the break of day.
Look at the time it’s the season of treason and the city bleeds.
People pass on the street but they see no reason to greet.
Like books just left to rot on a library shelf,
Untapped, unopened, unappreciated, unloved.
You can decide you can choose
Whether to break that smile or refuse
Inspiration, I’ll have a shot of that over here
Exultation, you can fly out like the lark at the break of day.

Fantasy Man
Fantasy man I’m from Fantasy land I can’t reach you.
I try to break through to your reality van you hear me?
Caught up in fear I’m so pent up in fear I can hardly move.
Fantasy man I’m from Fantasy land I can teach you!
Then Fantasy man retreats to Fantasy land and makes it.
Yes Fantasy man retreats to Fantasy land and makes it.
Everything I do I picture your smile and reaction.
I just can’t impress you, I try to impress you, I try too… hard.
Fantasy girl you’re from Fantasy world I don’t need you.
Fantasy man I’m from Fantasy land I can break through.
Then Fantasy man retreats to Fantasy land and makes it.
Yes Fantasy man retreats to Fantasy land and makes it.
Fantasy man retreats to Fantasy land and makes it.
Everything I do I picture your smile and reaction.

Dolly
It’s you I fly to Dolly when I look across the sky,
It;s you I think of when I cry.
It’s you I pull inside when I waken in the night.
It’s you I want to see come the light
So here I am laying it on the line,
Just trying to get up somewhere in your mind.
I sometimes feel invisible in time,
I used to feel invincible one time.
With every sinking sunset I feel closer to the light,
I’ll kiss you on the patio moonlight
Fighting back getting strong I’m feeling alright.
I’ll be coming around summer nights.
So here I am laying it on the line,
Just trying to stay up somewhere in your mind.
Sometimes feel invisible in time,
I used to feel invincible one time.
Dark times leave me alone
Dark times leave me alone
It’s you I fly to Dolly when I look across the sky,
It's you I think of when I cry.

Time Traveling Man
Throw me a line I can be what you want me to be.
Lost out in time I can see who you want me to be.
Right out of sight I can teach you a new way to see.
Well you see what you want you can take it out all over me.
Time Travelling man can you hear me I’m out on my own?
Time Travelling man can you show me a way to get home?
Miles out of town I can tell by the sound of the wheels.
Driver keeps driving me Breaker he breaks on the side
We must make the next town before the four wheels turn to dust.
Up ahead in the headlights I finally can see love from lust.
Time Travelling man I have burned every bridge I could see.
Time Travelling man will you throw out a lifeline for me?
I’ve travelled out in time
I’ve stepped right out of my mind.
I have seen visions in colours that made me go blind.
Night after night I can dream that you’re here and its on.
But on the first ray of sunlight you dance out the window you’re gone
Say what you want and then people they do what they must.
But right there in your eyes I can see that it’s you I can trust.
Time Travelling man can you hear me I’m out on my own?
Time Travelling man is there some place that we could call home?
Time Travelling man I have burned every bridge I could see.
Time Travelling man will you throw out a lifeline for me?

Vitamins & Wine
I wash my vitamins down with wine,
I like to party all the time.
Just ask a man what he should do with his time,
Is a party such a crime?
Well I might be home in the evening time
I might be back for tea
Just leave the mat darling
Under the key
When you think of me
I’m at the party.
Milk thistle tincture with my beer
I plan to party through the year.
This is the prime of my time here
I shall party have no fear
Well I’ve looked back through the ages
I’ve spoken with the seers
I’ve read it from the sages and people full of cheer
It’s good to party
And have no fear.
