Well love can be blind and love can be kind
 it’s helped a lotta people through the night
Everybody likes the one who brings cigarettes
 but they love the one who brings them the light
well you’ve heard of Nostradamus
 confidentially between us
saw his Uncle Ignoramus
 rock and roll in El Sico’s

People are strange that never will change
Sometimes you wonder who is right
And they say it’s Sod’s Law that rains on the car
That you’re cleaning when there ain’t a cloud in sight
Well you’ve heard of Zoroaster 
I ain’t seen no-one faster 
Than his sister Alabaster
Rock and roll in El Sico’s

Well the Tarot can tell you about heaven and hell
But if you want to know what next week will bring
Don’t worry your head about consulting the dead
Toss a coin up and read the I Ching

I seen Petrograd, Leningrad and Baghdad
But I’ve got no desire to meet the queen
I see more meaning in places than the noblest of faces
That’s just the way I’ve always been
Well you’ve heard of old Agrippa
His daughter was a stripper
Saw her ride like some day tripper
Rock and roll in El Sico’s

                    I'll Be Loving You

Words would only hurt me more
what your eyes say so plain
I know it's time for you to go
but just hold me once again

Leave me with a smile
don't say goodbye
don't turn around to see 
these tears that I must cry

and if it's dreams you're looking for
and those dreams don't come true
if you remember me some day
my love remember too

I'll be loving you
when summer skies are blue
when leaves fall from the trees in autumn
springtime winter too
though you're walking away you may need me someday
and I'll be here loving you

Lost in the kiss that I'll miss
and this your last embrace
tender look on your face
watching over me
 remember me 
remember too

I'll be loving you
when summer skies are blue
when leaves fall from the trees in autumn
springtime winter too
though you're walking away you may need me someday
and I'll be here loving you


02 I'll Be Loving You

                                          These Are Your Children

Fathers and mothers these are your children
Each tiny heart every tear-stained face
Sisters meet brothers and brothers bring sisters to
a  family called the human race

Standing together we face life as one
And in the darkness of despair no one should cry alone
And a child needs somebody who they can lean on
And every lost girl is your daughter every boy your son

Break down the walls of shame so that we can be
Building houses where all are free to share the love that brings us dignity

Fathers and mothers etc.

All of those dark clouds gone lost in a bright today
Hope for tomorrow guides young ones along the way

Fathers and mothers etc.


These Are Your Children

                                Come On In Out Of The Cold

You wake up in the morning it begins again
You have to ease the pain
There’s an  emptiness inside your heart an aching in your soul
And you’re left out here in the rain

You came up the hard way
But you   always made it harder for yourself
You need to build a bright tomorrow on a  brave  today
Instead of blaming somebody else

Come on in out of the cold
And live again
May the hard times you have  known
Give you the strength to change

You won’t believe what you can achieve if you only

Come on in out of the cold etc
You won’t believe what you can achieve if you only look to see

The  pattern of hope that can be found
In a Kaleidoscope that’s turning lives around and around
You choose do you want to win or lose

Come on in out of the cold etc

I need you and you need me
Let’s work together to see what we can be
Come on in out of the cold etc.


Come On In Out Of The Cold orig

02 Come On In Out Of The Cold acoustic

                                       Company of Fools

I lie within this bed’s embrace 
Under threat from the brandished night
Stripped of black cathedral songs
By that pulsing inner light

Dance to love’s pipes
With your jagged step
In the halls where music rules
And the brandied night 
will tuck in tight
this company of fools

The wolf patrols, the man extols
yet while the world is round they’ll meet
But you and I could never share
A kind word on this street

Dance to love’s pipes etc.

Waltz me out of the darkness 
Lead me into the light
Turn this virtual blindness
Into spiritual second-sight


Company Of Fools (J.)

                                                The Hollow Men



 Lately I have looked out at this empty night
sharing songs with voices just like mine
silhouettes of lovers dance beneath the light
 I can hear the music but the words don't rhyme
 
Fools laugh when we meet down on the avenue
with young girls on each arm they play the part
every whore in town is scored in their tattoo
dressed like the boys of summer they're just four more frozen hearts

 Some conceal their emptiness behind there empty eyes
 but empty hearts and empty art reveals there empty lives
and if you choose you want to lose my friend
follow the hollow men

 There are new songs that I know in time I'll learn to play
  I hope you like them when I get them right
  they fill my waking, wastrel hours, every one
 that beats two four time both sides of an unresolved midnight

 It gladdens me to know that you've found your love
 in the band of dancers who have kept in time
 to realize you're not like me but you're worthy of
 the silent song that lovers sing unshared by hearts like mine


THE HOLLOW MEN

Only Dreaming

Close my eyes drift away to the midnight streets we shared
I'll see you where the shadows turn to flame
I kiss every raindrop on your hair hold you in my arms
once again it's been too long don't slip away

Aw but I know I'm only dreaming
just dreaming of a love that used to be
Aw and I wonder if she's dreaming
and I hope sometimes she dreams a dream of me

Turn back the years they slip away as we stand there in the night
children lost beneath the neon lights
and I turn to face the girl I knew to live it all again 
but the empty streets tell me she's slipped away

Aw and I wonder if she's dreaming 
and I hope sometimes she dreams a dream of me
Aw but I know I'm only dreaming
just dreaming of a love that used to be

A girl that I used to know she haunts my dreams
she sleeps through my waking hours but in between
the time when I close my eyes till the cold daylight comes
when those night shadows fall love's sweet mystery calls her back to me

Aw but I know I'm only dreaming etc


ONLY DREAMING




                                               Long Cool Mata Hari

They say nothing can be perfect in an imperfect world
Whoever must have said that ain’t never seen you girl
When you walk on by with your slender thighs
Your flashing eyes makes my heart just cry
 for a cool hand plays its hand but never deals
and you’re a long cool mata hari in high heels

And they say a lot of secrets lie beneath the sky and sea
But how you look the way you do is the biggest mystery
When I see you there with your flowing hair
Brings me despair I just can’t get nowhere
For a cool hand etc

Well I can see how a man can do desperate things
To possess a woman like you
I would sell the blueprints of man or god
When you look the way you do

Well I’ve got to have my way with you I think you’ll understand
You’ll find in me just what you need a good good loving man
With your shapely hips and your ruby red lips
My heart just flips and my ego dips
For a cool hand etc
