Peeling The Onion Blues Version

Music John-Paul Burette
Peel the Onion, Feel the Tears (Lyrics: Neville Greenwood)

I was living unconsciously tied to the past,
Not connecting the dots, it all went so fast
Things that happen, sometimes can wreck,
Changing your life, with unknown effects

Stupid things happen when you're a kid
Who knew the consequences were so hard to rid
Even to uncover the problems at all
With emotional issues, development stalls

No one to blame, much worse can occur
Living in Paradise, there still seems a blur
Unpeeling the onion is so hard to do
When you don't realise the onion is you

CHORUS
Peel the Onion, Feel the Tears
Find the Wreckage, Heal the Years
Find the Causes, See the Signs
Then Move On , Your life is Fine
Unpeeling the onion is so hard to do
When you don't realise the onion is you

Taking your life for granted, is easy to do
Not in the 3rd world, where choices are few
Bent out of shape, so petty and vain
When you see what we've got, it is really insane

Let go of the past, it's holding you down
It's easy to see what's needed when found
unpeeling the onion is so hard to do
When you don't realise the onion is you

CHORUS
Peel the Onion, Feel the Tears
Find the Wreckage, Heal the Years
Find the Causes, See the Signs
Then Move On , Your life is Fine
unpeeling the onion is so hard to do
When you don't realise the onion is you

Peel the Onion – Revised Lyrics

I was living unconsciously tied to the past,
Not connecting the dots, it all went so fast
Things that happen, sometimes make 
You change your life and make mistakes
All the broken empty promises go to waste

You think on all that had happened when you're a kid
And all the things that shaped you seem so hard to rid
Uncovering Problems you can't solve
And then you find you've hit a wall
And there's no one you can blame
For it all


Peel the Onion, Feel the Tears coming down
Find the Wreckage, See the Signs
Then Move On , Your life is Fine
Unpeeling the onion is so hard to do
When you don't realize the onion is you


Taking your life for granted is easy to do
But when you think of all you've got 
You feel like a fool
Let go of the past it's holding you down
It's easy to see when you've been found
All the things you were looking for come into view

Peel the Onion, Feel the Tears
Find the Wreckage, Heal the Pain
Then Move On , And live again
Unpeeling the onion is so hard to do
When you don't realize the onion is you


Peel The Onion

In My Darkened Room
Lyrics: Neville Greenwood 
Verse 
The world can come upon you
In ways you hardly knew
You think you have defenses
But you find there's just a few

There is a pace of living
That permeates us all
Pushing us to be and do
I sometimes hit a wall

Chorus
In my darkened room
I never have a care
In my darkened room
There is music everywhere

In my darkened room
The world can go away
In my darkened room
I am safe another day

Verse 2
I know about making money
I am tired of the chase
The drudgery I see daily
Makes me find another place

I suppose I am avoiding
That which I know I must face
I retreat into my darkened room
I find it my safe place

Chorus
In my darkened room
I never have a care
In my darkened room
There is music everywhere

In my darkened room
The world can go away
In my darkened room
I am safe another day

Refrain
In my darkened room
The world can go away
In my darkened room
I am safe another day

In my darkened room
The world can go away
In my darkened room
I am safe another day


In My Darkened Room

Rockabilly Jane
SoundnLightning

She don't seem a rebel to me,
She seems so wholesome, as cute as can be
You think there's nothing much to her
She hits the dance floor, she causes a stir
She has the young and old, watching her feet
She hits the dance floor, banging the beat
Hitting it
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

Rockabilly Jane she's at it again
Busting her moves, her dancing's insane
Rockabilly Jane hits the dance floor bangin the beat

She knows all the moves , she covers the floor,
The Armbreaker,Back slide, Betty boop and more
She has the crowd all moving about
The people are staring, there tongues are hanging out
They've never seen those moves before
Twisting and turn and flipping galore
Hitting it
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

Rockabilly Jane she's at it again
Busting her moves, her dancing's insane
Rockabilly Jane hits the dance floor, bangin the beat

Hitting it
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
Rockabilly Jane she's at it again
Busting her moves, her dancing's insane
Rockabilly Jane hits the dance floor, bangin the beat

Hitting it
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
Rockabilly Jane she's at it again
Busting her moves, her dancing's insane
Rockabilly Jane hits the dance floor, bangin the beat

Rockabilly Jane she's at it again
Rockabilly Jane she's at it again
Rockabilly Jane she's at it again
Rockabilly Jane she's at it again
Busting her moves, her--dancing-- is --in--sane

fadeout
She ain't no plain jane!!
She ain't no plain jane!!
She ain't no plain jane!!
She ain't no plain jane!!

Let It Rain
Lyrics and Music: Neville Greenwood
Performance Shaunthenticate

Verse 1
I've been searching for all a long day
Wondering and waiting, 
Don't have much to say
I've been in trouble
and it won't go away
Wondering and waiting
Don't have much to say

Chorus
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, Oh Let - it - r-a-i-n
I'm looking for answers
But they don't come this way
Let it rain, let it rain

Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, Oh Let - it - r-a-i-n
I'm standing in shadows
With no one to blame
Let it rain, let it rain

Verse 2
I've been looking for all a long day
Can't see the blue sky
The clouds are covered all day
The dark clouds are gathering 
And the the rain on it's way
I'm in some trouble
and it won't go away

Chorus
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, Oh Let - it - r-a-i-n
I'm looking for answers
But they don't come this way
Let it rain, let it rain

Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, Oh Let - it - r-a-i-n
I'm standing in shadows
With no one to blame
Let it rain, let it rain

I'm Trying to Find My Way Back to You 
Neville Greenwood
Verse 1
You need to know I care 
After all these many years
I just don't know how to make the call
All we have between are walls

I am bare for all to see
It's hard for you
It's hard for me
But I'm prepared to take the fall

So I'm confessing here today
The words I cannot say
I'm not sure, where to begin
I'm trying to find a way
I'm trying to find a way

Chorus

Through the heartache of the years
The sorrow and the tears
You have always been within me
Even though you were not near
But no matter what I do
I cannot see it through
But I'm trying to find my way back to you-oooo 
Yes I'm trying to find my way back to you-ooooo
I'm trying to find my way (pause) back (Pause) to you

Verse 2
You are still within my sight
Although I didn't do what's right
I didn't reach out
I didn't find a way

I am stuck inside my fears
After all the passing years
I'm not sure how to find you
And make all wrong things right

I may not be the best bet
But I'm taking the first steps
Trying to find common ground
Trying to reach out to you
I'm trying to find a way

Chorus
Through the heartache of the years
The sorrow and the tears
You have always been within me
Even though you were not near
But no matter what I do
I cannot see it through
But I'm trying to find my way back to you-oooo 
Yes I'm trying to find my way back to you-ooooo
I'm trying to find my way (pause) back (Pause) to you

Part Chorus Repeat and Fadeout
Through the heartache of the years
The sorrow and the tears
You have always been within me
Even though you were not near
But no matter what I do
I cannot see it through
But I'm trying to find my way back to you-oooo 
Yes I'm trying to find my way back to you-ooooo
I'm trying to find my way (pause) back (Pause) to you (emotional)
Fadeout 
Yes I'm trying to find my way back to you-ooooo
I'm trying to find my way (pause) back (Pause) to you (emotional)

Let The Light In
Neville Greenwood
First Verse
I noticed the walls
That protect you from harm
They make you feel safe
They make you feel calmThey seem like a good thing
That all should have need
Maybe reflect on the value
Are you captive or freed
Chorus
You have to let the light in
Let the rays find their way
Illuminate the pathway
To make you feel safeYou have to let the light in
2nd Verse
Reflections on reflections
Second guessing the day
Controlling your future
Let a hand guide the wayThe voices inside
Know just what to do
The answers are in there
The voices, the voices of you
Chorus
You have to let the light in
Let the rays find their way
Illuminate the pathway
To make you feel safeYou have to let the light in
To reach into your soul
To find a new beginning
To tear down your walls
You have to let the light in
You have to let the light in
(Instrumental Bridge)
Chorus
You have to let the light in
Let the rays find their way
Illuminate the pathway
To make you feel safeYou have to let the light in
Chorus Reprise With Harmonies
You have to let the light in 
Let the rays find their way (harmonies:To reach into your soul)
Illuminate the pathway (harmonies: To find a new beginning)To make you feel safe
You have to let the light in 
You have to let the light in 
You have to let the light in (fades)

Let The Light In

Acid Drops Are Dripping
Neville Greenwood
Verse 1
I feel that constant feeling
That maybe you don't see
You think that when it's done it's done
But that's not the way for me.

Like a river through a glacier
A storm upon the fields
A sandbank cut by mighty flows
It's the residual that it yields

Chorus
The acid drops that dissolve my heart
The acid drops that tear me apart
The acid drops, the rain that I feel 
The acid drops are drip, drip dripping
The clock is ticking, our fate is sadly sealed
The acid drops are dripping
I just don't know how to heal
The acid drops are dripping
The acid drops are dripping

Verse 2
I don't know how to tell you
About how it makes me feel
I can't describe the sadness
I don't know how it heals

A crazy kind of drama
One I cannot leave
But the acid drops are dripping
I really must be free 

Chorus
The acid drops that dissolve my heart
The acid drops that tear me apart
The acid drops, the rain that I feel 
The acid drops are drip, drip dripping
The clock is ticking, our fate is sadly sealed
The acid drops are dripping
I just don't know how to heal
The acid drops are dripping
The acid drops are dripping

Chorus repeat with fadeout

The Acid Drops Are Dripping

Fire and Ice

Something real strange 
is happening again
The twists and the turns
The war without end

The highs and the lows
The pleasure and pain
The ying and the yang
With nothing to gain

Chorus
The temper is hot 
but the stare is so cold
Fire and ice 
about to unfold
It's the up and the down
The north and South Pole
The temper is hot 
But the stare is so cold

The whole and the sum
The parts of the same
The push and the pull
Play the same game

It's closing and opening
It's hoping again
It's all gone full circle
Full circle again and again

Chorus
The temper is hot 
but the stare is so cold
Fire and ice 
about to unfold
It's the up and the down
The north and South Pole
The temper is hot 
But the stare is so cold

Chorus repeat with fade out
Fire and ice 
about to unfold
The temper is hot 
But the stare is so cold

Fire and Ice

Not In My Name
Neville Greenwood

The US sends the list
Of who we must defame
We draw up plans for War
And curse their holy name

Plunder their resources
With evidence that is lame
Murdering the innocent and the blameless
Women and children all the same 
Blood on your hands
But Not, Not in my name

The bastards in the castle
Who all divert the blame
Meetings in the cabinet
Scapegoats to exclaim

The laws need amending
Don't claim thy holy name
Cowards who sleep safely
As war becomes a game
Blood on your hands
But Not, Not in my name

You never see the rifle
On you, they don't take aim
You are too important
To eviscerate from planes

Whatever you need to justify
Whoever you want to frame
Puppets to the global masters
False witness all the same
Blood on your hands
But Not, Not in my name

Brutalize, terrorize you need to feel the shame
Vilify, persecute, murder's your domain
Go to your church on Sunday
To cleanse your soul of blame
Mutilate, amaelorate, your soul will see the stain
Bastardise, vaporise, childrens blood you drain

Blood on your hands
But I'm not to blame
Blood on your hands
But I'm not to blame

Repeat and Fade
Blood on your hands
But Not, Not in my name

Blood on your hands
But Not, Not in my name

Not In My Name

Neville Greenwood is different from most artists. He creates the lyrics, chooses the style of song and then finds artists to create the music to match the lyrics and mood of the song topic. This is why there are varied artists on this channel. He is probably best described as a producer/lyricist although recently he has started composing music as can be heard on the "let it rain" and "finding my way back to you" song
He is always looking for good collaborators. Send him a message if you want to collaborate musically. Generally the songs are life experience based and keep away from the more frivolous lyrics found elsewhere. Neville is desperately in need of a friendlier picture to reflect his nature! His "I'm Going Home" song is his farewell song in advance, although he is trying to forestall that for as long as possible. His songs number 80 at the moment.
He has hinted at a rock album and has 3 songs already for a musical. The voices in his head will decide, so stay tuned!
