What’s my luck today
What reward is coming my way
Will it be good, will it be bad
Whatever it is……I’ll be glad
What’s my destiny
What does the future hold for me
Will it be sunny, will it be grey
Whatever it is……that’s ok
Black Cats or Broken Mirrors
Which one shall it be
Black Cats or Broken Mirrors
It’s all the same to me
Cos I take
Life in my stride
I don’t try to hide
I’m true to myself
So I feel good inside
Look the world in the eye
And never say die
Cos I know in my heart
That I’ll never comply Will my ship come in
Will my wheel of fortune spin
Will it be chance, will it be fate
Whatever it is….. I’ll feel great
I was walking down the street
Concentrating on my beat
Through the air a loud voice said
Watch that ladder above your head
A black cat crossed my path today
But I just looked the other way
A single magpie came along too
I said Mr Magpie how are you

Dog On The Wall
03:58
|

|
Dog on the wall is looking at me
As the clock keeps ticking away
I've read all the leaflets on the notice board
But they ain't got nothing to say
The birds leave the trees
Like the leaves on the breeze
To the sound of a slide trombone
And the hill top view
Is a world I knew
That used to be my second home
In a crowd where I could be alone
Everything changes but it all stays the same
Nothing is different but the name…..
……of the game
Dog on the wall is looking at me
As the clock keeps ticking away
I still can quote all the coins and notes
But I ain't got no money to pay
The stones on the mound
Make a rock star sound
As they crumble to the dust
While the chords they strum
And the song that's sung
Are the only words that I can trust
I might not want to but I really must
If you do what you've always done
You'll win what you've always won
'Cos you know there's nothing new
Under the sun
Now the game's begun

Shallow Waters
01:27
|

|
I need some information
About the time the season’s due
I want you to inform me
I need some news from you
The world is spinning round
And it hurts so much to turn
Everyone is trying to teach
Yet what have we to learn
And as the oceans close upon
Our ever shrinking land
The world’s committing suicide
Killed by man’s own hand
And so my love for life has died
I feel the need for sleep
The shallow waters of a man
Have proven far too deep
My memories I’ll keep

Life Is A Funfair
03:19
|
|||
|
Life is a funfair
A merry-go-round with sad faced clowns
Life is a funfair
A roller coaster of ups and downs
There’s a lesson we learn
From every ferris wheel turn
It say’s it doesn’t matter where you stop
You’re heading for the bottom
Even when you’re at the top
There’s a reason why
At the coconut shy
It doesn’t mater if you’re standing tall
There are just so many knocks
You can take before you fall
Try to keep your balance on the cakewalk
On the ghost rain show no fear
Don’t get phased in the mirror maze
At the reflection that appears
There’s a feeling inside
Like a bumper car ride
It doesn’t matter what direction you take
You won’t get very far
Before you need to hit the brake

Fingers & Wings
03:51
|
|||
|
It’s not easy saying I love you
When I’m hearing no reply
It’s so hard to see you happy
When all I want to do is cry
Can’t you see that it’s me
Reaching out to you
Can’t you see that it’s me
Who loves you
For the fingers and wings
Of delicate things
On the hand that flies
Through the pastel skies
And the bird that sweetly sings
It’s not easy standing beside you
When you don’t even know I’m there
It’s so hard to make you notice
When all you do is turn and stare
Can’t you see that it’s me
Reaching out to you
Can’t you see that it’s me
Who loves you
For the fingers and wings
Of passionate things
On the hand that flies
Through the pastel skies
And the bird that sweetly sings
For every love that’s died
A million tears are cried
And every eye that’s dried
Can’t hide the pain inside
For the fingers and wings
Of feathers and rings
On the hand that flies
Through the saddest skies
Where no bird attempts to sing

Four Corners
05:00
|
|||
|
Crossed the path of a wizard
Where I inherited his curse
He said something bad’s gonna happen to you
………………….or worse
I begged for his mercy
So that it be undone
He laughed as cast these words my way
While getting ready to run
Spin around
Throw a coin in the well
Meet a prince at midnight
But never kiss and tell
Somewhere you’ll find
Between Heaven and Hell
And all four corners of the earth
A place to break the spell
So I called upon my guardian angels
Said I needed their help
There’s nothing we can do right now
You’ll have to help yourself
Saw a witch on her broomstick
Flying through the sky
I asked if she would set me free
Came her reply

I Used To Believe
04:07
|
|||
|
I drank the water from the well of eternal dreams
I bought the legend of mythical kings and queens
Yes I used to believe in fairy tales
Long forgotten magic of some bygone days
Of curses, potions and spells
Of pixies, goblins and elves
Fictional mademoiselles
I used to believe
I felt the power of the sword in the mighty stone
I heard the ballad of medieval crumbling bones
Yes I used to believe in fairy tales
Long forgotten magic of some bygone days
Of skulls in the shallowest graves
Of dragons slain in their caves
The glory of the young and the brave
I used to believe
The strangest things in the simplest times
The gentlest people do the bloodiest crimes
Deep complexity in the most mundane
Original sin strikes again and again
Yes I used to believe in fairy tales
Long forgotten magic of some bygone days
Of demons, devils and ghouls
Of monsters deep in the pool
Of folklore, fables and fools
I used to believe

The truth is in the numbers
The lie falls in the text
A consequence of incidents
Illogically next To ensure the evil warlord
Got all that he was owed
A brilliant mind would need to find
What’s hidden in the code They say the war was shorter
By two full years or more
Yet we persecute the hero
With an antiquated law This game of death by numbers
The weapon cyanide
One bite of the apple
Is declared as suicide
On the night that justice died
The world is full of guilty secrets
Try to fool the many by the few
Until we understand the reasons
We won’t know why they do the things they do
Within the message lies the motive
Deep inside the words we find out why
And as we see the text unfolding
The more we get to know the more we cry
When we look back in anger
At all the suffering and pain
Let history remind us
That when tyranny remains
It could happen once again
The brainwashing of youth
Is distortion of the truth
If the older generation turn their heads

The Undertaker
04:12
|
|||
|
Words once said can never be retrieved
The lie exposed can never be believed
The lines you speak are clearly well rehearsed
They only serve to make the matters worse So you can talk all you like
About what you think is best
But if the undertaker should meet his maker
Tell me…..what should we do next?
Music has the power to unite
When all that’s said is full of hate and spite
Songs once sung dissolve into the ground
And settle in the endless wall of sound It’s such a fine line
Between life and death
From new born cry
To final breath
Through coming of age
And every stage
The moments to reflect
Dreams once dreamed can hold you in their spell
Long beyond the stories that they tell
Reality and fantasy combine
When we wander from the beaten track of time

Boulder rolling down the mountain
Arrows in the blazing sky
Bullets flying at our young ones
This is not their time to die
Sleeping in a bombed out building
Listening to the battle cry
Orphans dancing through the minefields
This is not their time to die
Save the children
Protect the child
Save the children
From the madness of the murdering mind
No food to put upon the table
Don’t know if they’ll eat today
Twenty miles for dirty water
This should never be the way
Wait for basic medication
Try to keep disease at bay
No access to an education
This should never be the way
Wicked thoughts of evil strangers
Rob them of their innocence
Close to home, our little secret
How can this make any sense
Please don’t leave me home this evening
I’ve no way of self defence
With no adult understanding
How can this make any sense
Come on all you politicians
Time for you to make a stand
Democratic or dictator
Power lies within your hands
Yes listen all you politicians
Make the changes we demand
Get together, make it better
Power lies within your hands

Manuscripts And Remedies
07:15
|

|
The defiance of giants
Is now compliance or alliance
If you’re not thinking, then you’re sinking
To the bottom of the pool
Trapped inside the tide of petty rules
For busy fools
Came upon a holy man
As he was kneeling down to pray
I assumed as a child of God
He would surely know the way
But he said……
The wisdom that you crave
Can be gathered from the grave
In the manuscripts and remedies
Of past polite societies
And the way they misbehaved
Yet the strength of which you seek
Once protected by the meek
In the manuscripts and remedies
Of past polite societies
Open up and speak……to us
Standing in a crowd on a busy street corner
Waiting for the lights to change
Nobody talking, nobody walking
Their movements pre-arranged
We stand and wait obeying the state
No one steps out of line
I can’t recall the day at all
When we surrendered our minds
But it’s been a long time
If we don’t choose the laws
To which we lead our lives
Then we’ll never take control
If we fail to push away
What may deprive
We will sacrifice our soul

Magic Man
03:29
|
|||
|
A trick of the light, a sleight of the hand
Prepare to be deceived by the magic man
It’s hard to believe, you don’t understand
How you could be deceived by the magic man
Out of the hat, into the fire
The pretty young girl floats higher and higher
If we see, it must be true
But tell me just who is fooling who?
You try as you might, hard as you can
Not to be deceived by the magic man
But it’s over and done before it began
Again you’ve been deceived by the magic man
Innocent eyes, gullible fools
Confusion reigns, illusion rules
Chase the lady, pick a card
Shuffle the pack but stay on your guard
Whatever you check, however you plan
You’re sure to be deceived by the magic man
You could be a mark, it may be a scam
You’re about to be deceived by the magic man

Separate Ways
00:54
|
|||
|
I feel the desperation
Of those few still alive
Whose only aim each morning
Is simply to survive
And as they go about their task
Beneath the hunter’s gaze
We count the single figures
In the numbering of days
Then go our separate ways

Train Don't Stop
04:14
|
|||
|
Had me a dream the other night
I don’t pretend to understand
All alone in a big white spotlight
Got a suitcase in my hand now
Out of nowhere a train appeared
Steaming down the track
When I heard the whistle blowing
Then I knew there was no turning back….
….And the man said
Get on board
Take a seat
For the journey of your life
Be good to those you meet
You can get off where you like
But take advice
This train don’t stop here twice
Didn’t know where this train was heading
Had no ticket, paid no fare
Left my worries on the platform
Started moving but I didn’t care now
No idea of my destination
Just enjoy the ride
On my own with a sweet sensation
Never felt so good inside…….
……When the man said
