life is like an ocean, it gets deeper all the time
believing it's all kosher, when you're in the firing line
doctor are they ok? do they mean right?
are we in the wrong war with a peaceful fight?

time is like a ribbon, it gets twisted every day
you find out they're not driven in the empathetic way
darling does it help, if i'm not around?
i'll help myself get out of town

does it matter if the door isn't fully shut tight
when you're calling the floor, and you're always right
so you seem to ignore that you're holding the light
of your born

F*** I need to drink, to forget about someone
D**n I need to drink, to respect that someone
Man i need some sleep, for amnesia marathon
shit i need some sleep, gotta get a heart feeling

she creeps in and out, like a mouse
her voice will stick and stand out
try to rouse
no matter how much to you listen to your stereo

have you any vodka 'yes i do thank you'
and you any rum? 'have you any cigarettes they'll do for fun'
F*** i need to think, to move on without worry
and 'imagined' horror stories, of 'unsafe broken' tragedy

she creeps in and out, like a mouse
her voice will stick and stand out
try to rouse
no matter how much to you listen to your stereo

(lead)

how about a tea, to remember that someone
here, have some coco, to remind you of warmth son
why not try a coffee? given to wake up some,
or have a glass of Earth Juice, to pucker up one...?

creeps in and out, like a mouse
her voice will stick and stand out
try to rouse
no matter how much to you listen to your stereo
she creeps in and out, like a mouse
her voice will stick and stand out
try to rouse
no matter how much to you listen to your stereo
she creeps in and out, like a mouse
her voice will stick and stand out
try to rouse
no matter how much to you listen to your stereo
she creeps in and out, like a mouse
her voice will stick and stand out
try to rouse
no matter how much to you listen to your stereo

cans on the grass as the bins over-flow
double-coated day-glow and a ground down nose
the fella that i met on the green-grass carpet
carried the bottle of fire for the cold and the unwanted

but the sun'll still rise
and we all keep smiling in the rays
we're all just in a daze
in a tragedy and comedy both parts that we play
keep on smiling in the rays

hair and face as clean as any garbage
some of us say that they're angels on a 'good day'
care and grace stay away from the park edge
the signs are there because we put them up yesterday

but the sun'll still rise
and we all keep smiling in the rays
we're all just in a daze
in a tragedy and comedy both parts that we play
keep on smiling in the rays

life style that only a fool would ever ask for
according to the one's who never slept upon a cold floor
crackle snap spit of another one of those habits
traps and pits made to drink and fight the magic

life style that only a fool would ever ask for
according to the one's who never slept upon a cold floor
crackle snap spit of another one of those habits
traps and pits made to drink and fight the magic

give us your change quick before you find us nearly choking
these are the voices of the lost, homeless and broken
give us your change quick before you find us nearly choking
these are the voices of the lost, homeless and broken
these are the voices of the lost, homeless and broken
these are the voices of the lost, homeless and broken
these are the voices of the lost, homeless and broken
these are the voices of the lost, homeless and broken

A pack of A-4 couldn't write enough upset
a pen-drive isn't worth the gold given in the circuit
in all of the muscles that you had in your face
you chose the ones in your voice to begin the bit of talking

some may choose 'no word of a lie'
i prefer 'in all honesty'
thank you for my things, by the way,
'nice jeans'

a time and a half didn't give enough time 
to realize real lies that you were yours and i was mine
in all of the days spent away from the devil
it's surprising that the level of your voice never changed
some decide to keep the ride in hell for as long as possible
i prefer to see the clouds come round my vision

a smile from me this times really pushing it
it's time for me to swallow another ball of spit
slowly come and get your shit
thank you for my things, by the way,
'nice jeans'

gallons of drink didn't numb enough hurting 
to purge and think about nothing ever working
in all of the evenings that required some 'flirting'
have another fake, but the given doesn't come
a tonne of smoke under the thumb
now i'm done, for a toke
just for you i had to choke
if i went back i'd rather croak
than cry and whinge to all the folk
walk in the rain, sit and soak
this song is such a f***ing joke
what a 'rude-boy' kind of bloke i am
to end the chapter with 'nice jeans'

where is there
in the fore-front of the mind
still there
i don't mind

what is there
in the fore-front of the feeling
that i spared myself to feel
because i care too much to seal
off no fate

only then will i see the sparkle in the eyes
only then will i feel the good old lows and highs
only now will i be prepared to slow the hands of time
the hands of mine

and as i know
as i try to clear my head
of the times we share when dead
but the smile is there instead
and i try my very best to let go

only then will i see the sparkle in the eyes
only then will i feel the good old lows and highs
only now will i be prepared to slow the hands of time
the hands of mine

the secret to it all is in the eye and i have fallen
for the mirrors yet again
but none o' them are here to blame
but whatever, i suppose, you will never understand
how not to take a stand
when they look into our souls
and see, themselves, again, and again and again again

only then will i see the sparkle in the eyes
only then will i feel the good old lows and highs
only now will i be prepared to slow the hands of time
these hands of mine
these hands of mine
these hands of mine

Recorded live through a Roland BR600
Performed by Jack Randell
written and composed by Jack Randell

we all see things differ in the world from small to large
raindrops looking like a paisley shower in the dark
we all know how clever we are when we see through the reign
imaginary ordinary unbelieve the flaws within the game

well enough of this shite if you think its better
la 

pick your favourite colour it's irrelevant as soon as you are there
the tree for us must have been a walkway into a better care
open sea of sky saw us fly into the parliaments of green
i hope i'm right did they just fight over a colour thats always on the scene

well enough of this shite if you think it's better

wish me to stay and i will leave

wish to fall and i will fly
wish to call and never die

so many parallels, so many tribes
so much anguish, but not enough subsides
not enough peace time, talk time, chill time

had enough.
Poi patterns? 
Weight Ball?
Three-Ball juggling or
Diablo "foolishness"

so much anguish
so much tension
so much hardship
so much to mention
so much anguish
so much tension
so much hardship
so much to mention

many moons of anger
insult and verbal massacres
-hemoraged soul
formal dagger 
frown straight from the hole

so much stress
lines drawn
awoke in a calmmed up mess

drawn down
soaked in sweat
verbal abuse
physical pains

toilet paper not fit to wipe with

so many parallels, so many tribes
so much anguish, but not enough subsides
not enough peace time, talk time, chill time

had enough.

Seen

written and recorded by Jack Randell

when you love
someone so much all you want is to be with them
when you love
them to the point of tears serious fear smiles and softness

all you want is to be with them
all you want is to be with them

the hug
and warming sway of body in'd arms each night and day
the offer
of a drink
and a building of ears and skin in every way

all you want is to be with them
all you want is to be with them

(Solo)

all you want is to be with them
all you want is to be with them
all you want is you with them and them with you
all you want is you with them and them with you
all is there, so is this, so are you
all is there, so is this, so are you
so it is, so it is, so it is,
so it is, so it is, so it is

I don't want a shower
I smell too normally
wait until the bugs kick me off my mattress
my cotton has moulded perfectly now

black mould ding ding moulding
black mould ding ding moulding
