As I Roved Out (Rendition of a song by Planxty)

lyrics and music written and composed by Raven Jak (Jack Timothy Oake Randell)
recorded by Raven Jak (Jack Timothy Oake Randell)
instrumentation and voice performed by Raven Jak (Jack Timothy Oake Randell)

when i'm looking back at your world i've seen it all before
it's full of power mixed with greed and suffering with war

i didn't sign up for this when i was born
i deserve respect but we're hated and scorned
let me be free
let me see my reality
let me be free
let me be free

if i child lives with hostility then they learn to fight
we've got to break this vicious cycle
i am saying it's not right

i didn't sign up for this when i was born
i deserve respect but we're hated and scorned
let me be free
let me see my reality
let me be free
let me be free

(solo)

i didn't sign up for this when i was born
i deserve respect but we're hated and scorned
let me be free
let me see my reality
let me be free
let me be free
let me be free
let me be free
let me be free
let me be free

written and composed by Jack Timothy Oake Randell
recorded and performed by Jack Timothy Oake Randell

why do you have to be unfair?
why do you never want to care?
why do you trap me every day?
it always has to be your way

why can't you set me free?
you never want to leave me be?
i have to be your normality
why oh why can't you see?

why do i have to be suffocated
by your non-intentional love?
this isn't what life should be like
a discarded feather from a dove

why do you have to be unfair?
why do you never want to care?
why do you trap me every day?
it always has to be your way

i want to live my new destiny
why can't you just leave me be?
my soul has been trapped for centuries
why oh why can't you see?

I am your seed and you grew me
but why won't you let me bud?
you watch me everyday bleeding
while you grind me into your mud

i don't want to live this way
and still you make me stay
you never want to leave me be
why oh why can't you see?

i want to live my new destiny
why can't you leave me be?
my soul has been trapped for centuries
why oh why can't you see?

can't you see?

instrumentation too

mr. sunshine
why don't you brighten up my life?
when i was just a bumpkin
you should've turned around my life
when i was new
out of the colour blue
i was only two
i was just a few
that knew what was going on

mr sunshine
don't give me baby blue eyes
i know what you're behind
tell me what i should find
when i stick to you

out of the colour blue
i was only two
i was just a few
that knew what was going on

(solo)

sunshine
i've damn well given you enough time
tell me why i should join
remember i came from your groin
if you didn't care i do

out of the colour blue
i was only two
i was just a few
that knew what was going on

out of the colour blue
i was only two
i was just a few
that knew what was going on

i see things differ from small to large
i think i'm pretty clever when i feel the charge
well enough of Diane if you think it's better
if you think my butterfly can't change the weather
if you think my butterfly can't change the weather

pick your favourite colour and i'll tell you it's mine
insence rose and heather make this atmosphere so fine
well enough of Diane if you think it's better
if you think my butterfly can't change the weather
if you think my butter fly can't change the weather

well enough of the Pan if you think you're better
if you think my butterfly can't change the weather
if you think your butterfly can't change the weather
if you think his butterfly can't change the weather

i see things differ from small to large
i think i'm pretty clever when i feel the charge
well enough of Diane if you think it's better
if you think my butterfly can't change the weather
if you think my butterfly can't change the weather
if you think my butterfly can't change the weather
if you think my butterfly can't change the weather

Abigail - 24:07:2023, 18.27

written and composed by Jack Timothy Oake Randell
produced recorded and performed by Jack Timothy Oake Randell

there's nothing more pleasurable than getting all the miserable dissmal abizmal doings of the day to day by them getting in your way with their ability to piss one off

how many times can y abite a bloody tongue or chew a chaffed lip before the force and universe plead out to everything to open up the pit of hell, and pain and kick 'em in the place that'll spawn more of the same and prey to a god that is part of a game that involves more war on your whole mind frame
i'm famous for telling it like it is and how it is is a business that promises the ritz but gives a dizzy fizzy mixture of a team taking the piss

full  of confusion on a day to day scale 
i wake up fine but end up a little pale
another few years and i think i'll be good
hope to get a job in my neighbourhood
not a lot of choice in the workforce now
doing more time than i wanted to mind
worth doing then worth doing right
counting down the days till i have my light

has anyone got a light please?

foxgloves and feathers remind me of your skin
soft and real
your hair reminds me of a scarf i used to hold
when i was young
black golden shades when the weather is so fare
when with you, when with you, when with you, when with you

the shades of stillness in existence is astounding
the way the roses stay around when all the flowers close today
and the only thing we did was hold each other in the closest way
and all she did was smile and tell me that 'love love, love. love had to grow'
grow grow grow grow grow grow - love had to grow. it had to grow.
grow grow grow grow grow grow

snow flurries fall in such a bitter-sweet way
like the goodbyes
the breaks between the flakes are like the moments we're apart
you say 'it flies'
the weight of white is waiting for the heavy dark
of being alone
well you're not alone, 
when you're not alone, 
know you're not alone, 
when you're not alone...

the shades of stillness in existence is astounding
the way the roses stay around when all the flowers close today
and the only thing we did was hold each other in the closest way
and all she did was smile and tell me that 'love love, love. love had to grow'
grow grow grow grow grow grow - love had to grow. it had to grow.
grow grow grow grow grow grow

'A' pick up your damn trash Mr. Jolly
'B'lieve it or not it's up to you
'C' what you think of this 'cash' Dom Jolly
Don't be a fool and paint it all grey

Keep on smiling for the team
keep on shining, believe
it's everybody's choice, that makes this free
hold on to your voice, and drink more tea-hee-hee

'E'ven though it almost seems impossible
Feeling like it's up to you
Grow with the idea that it's all quite possible
Help is on it's way for this ol' crew

Keep on smiling for the team
keep on shining, believe
it's everybody's choice, that makes this free
hold on to your voice, and drink more tea-hee-hee

'K' it's hard to understand what i mean
'L'vis was only cash
'M' ee is not a trophy
Never agree to take the stash

Keep on smiling for the team
keep on shining, believe
it's everybody's choice, that makes this free
hold on to your voice, and drink more tea-hee-hee

O K I A let's start with an 'N', and hear what is best
P's and Q's come quite easily, better off when you have passed the test

Keep on smiling for the team
keep on shining, believe
it's everybody's choice, that makes this free
hold on to your voice, and drink more tea-hee-hee

'A' pick up your damn trash Mr. Jolly

heaven knows hell and she's gonna take you there
i think she's dumb but she's still having fun
a life lesson for everyday life
i'll stay right here with this broken butter knife

i hope i might, you better know your signs
gentle flight, i'm right, i'm right, i'm right

doctor's persistence gives one the remedy
stitch up one with all of serenity
gentle cradle snatcher senses broken porcelain 
solemn nurses slow down kaleidoscope pain 

i hope i might, you better know your signs
gentle flight, i'm right, i'm right, i'm right
for the whole damn night, turning on the same old light
anyone can tell that it's bright, 
because i don't rely too much on my sight

heaven knows hell but she's not gonna take you there
i think she's smart like naive when we 'first start'
whispers menthol-ate to produce a fresh mind
clogging every artery as all left behind

i hope i might, you better know your signs
gentle flight, i'm right, i'm right, i'm right

for the whole damn night, turning on the same old light
anyone can tell that it's bright, 
because i don't rely too much on my sight

for the whole damn night, turning on the same old light
anyone can tell that it's bright, 
because i don't rely too much on my sight

for the whole damn night, turning on the same old light
anyone can tell that it's bright, 
because i don't rely too much on my sight

for the whole damn night, turning on the same old light
anyone can tell that it's bright, 
because i don't rely too much on my sight

i have been swimming, for the afternoon, and i know just where i am going
i will eat with whom i know, and i know, just where i am going

it's warm, like a fur-skin, like a fur-skin, it is warm
and i will swim and i will swim
in my second fur-skin, in the warm... in the warm

i have been swimming now, for the past day, and i know just where i am going
this swim was easy going, and i know that tonight i will make my track in the snow
if i reach inland, by tomorrow's day, because i know, just where i am going

t's warm, like a fur-skin, like a fur-skin, it is warm
and i will swim and i will swim
in my second fur-skin, in the warm... in the warm

i've been swimming, through many moons, of icicle blue
and i knew just where i was going
where i would eat, with whom i knew
and greet, and play, and laugh, and love, and live, and breathe, and rest, and sleep
and greet, and play, and laugh, and love, and live, and breathe, and rest, and sleep
and greet! and play! and laugh! and love! and live! and breathe! and rest! and sleep!

in icicle blue. in icicle blue! in the warm! in icicle blue! in the warm... in the warm!
in the warm!! in the warm!!! in the warm!..... in the warm.... in the warm. in the warm

sleep.
