CAN’T AFFORD A LOTTERY TICKET
V1
It’s the end of the rope
All hope is gone
I’ll be workin’ ‘til I drop dead
All I got is a song
Got no inheritance
Coming my way
It’s too late for a sugar-daddy
Too broke to play

CHORUS
I can’t afford a lottery ticket
Can’t afford a lottery ticket
Orange-Man, he can stick it
‘Cuz I can’t afford a lottery ticket
No-no, no-no, no-no

V2
Can’t recall the numbers
The numbers I used to play
Got no money, now
To celebrate birthdays
Got no lovely beach house
To recharge my battery
All I got is a stack ‘a bills
Keepin’ a roof all that matters to me

CHORUS
I can’t afford a lottery ticket
No, I can’t afford a lottery ticket
Orange-Man, know where you can stick it
‘Cuz I can’t afford a lottery ticket
No-no, no-no, no-no-no, whoa

[Music]

V3
More money goes out
Than money comes in
I’m beginning to wonder
If livin’ ain’t a sin
Slim to nada
I would’ve won
But dreamin’ big
It sure was fun, but

CHORUS
I can’t afford a lottery ticket
No, I can’t afford no lottery ticket
Orange-Man, he can stick it
‘Cuz I can’t afford a lottery ticket
No-no, no-no, no-no-no

I can’t afford a lottery ticket
No, I can’t afford a lottery ticket
Orange-Man, you know where you can stick it
‘Cuz I can’t afford, can’t afford a lottery ticket
No-no, no-no, no-no-no

CAN’T AFFORD A LOTTERY TICKET

I think perspective is important but ends up seemingly difficult to attain. Being so self absorbed that you cannot understand or at times even see other people/nature ends up with a fertile ground for sensless persecution/discrimination . Perspective I think will make you humble and humility will allow empathy to grow


lyrics

Ok now, let's keep it simple
you're born,you live ,you die
I hate to inform you but
there isn't any  particular reason why

yes..you are important for sure
but guess what?? so is everything else on this small world

you are not above..you are not below
you are just part of a bigger show

if you don't see eye to eye
with someone else's view
remember you are part of them  as much as they are part of you

so live your life as you see fit
and leave everyone else to find their own niche
and if you still don't see eye to eye
please try to see heart to heart

I think that might work

keep it simple

Mac , music , lyrics , vocals
Scotty , guitar , lyrics , vocals
Shane , lyrics , vocals

I’ve been listening lately 
To the shite that they play on the radio daily
Nothing quite can excite ,too frothy to sway me 
 It’s all far too light more like coffee than gravy

Where’s all the rock stars gone 
The ones who leave it all in their songs
The ones who grab you by the balls and make you sing along
And I’m not joking , these kids today
Not even smoking all far too gay 
And I mean that in the very best way
That your supposed to use it nowadays 

Ladies and gents I don’t know the answer
We need 4 ill raised scally’s 
Not sixteen shit dancers

It's so hard for real folks to make love with
all of the noise from this radio rubbish.

Tell me, folks, what's your recipe?(grilled cheese )
First, lose creativity. (Yes please)
Make it bland for all the sheep
who walk blind through life, superficially. (Not deep)
Take their voice, give 'em words to speak  (thought free)
nor a choice but to hit repeat. ( bought three)
Prey on them 'cause their minds are weak, 
and likely to fork out about a g per seat, (fuck me)
buy your merch, wear it in the street.(ok)
Advertise your shit for free. (No way)
To feel a sense of community
though nothing you say or do is unique.  (Per say )

It's so hard for real folks to make love with
all of the noise from this radio rubbish.

Over saturation splitting at the seams
Radio rubbish just don’t appeal to me
Shiny shit , opium for the masses
Not about tunes 
Just folks shaking asses
It’s gone too far to save
Sgt pepper and the walrus turning in their graves

It's so hard for real folks to make love with
all of the noise from this radio rubbish.

Lyrics
Verse 1
I wake up to the sound of rain
Hitting hard against my window pane
Radio's talking 'bout another fight
Same old story every single night
Chorus
Whose war is it anyway?
Who's gonna make them pay?
Whose war is it anyway?
While we all fade away
Verse 2
My brother's boots are by the door
Been there since he left for this war
Mama cries when she thinks we can't see
Daddy drinks and stares at the TV
Chorus
Whose war is it anyway?
Who's gonna make them pay?
Whose war is it anyway?
While we all fade away
Solo
Verse 3
Met a man from the other side
Said his boy had also died
We sat there drinking whiskey straight
Talking 'bout our shared fate
Pre-chorus
Two fathers with the same pain
Standing in the pouring rain
Chorus
Whose war is it anyway?
Who's gonna make them pay?
Whose war is it anyway?
While we all fade away
Bridge
Rich men make the battle plans
While poor folks die with guns in hand
Tell me why we fight and bleed
For someone else's greed
Chorus
Whose war is it anyway?
Who's gonna make them pay?
Whose war is it anyway?
While we all fade away
Outro
Whose war...
Whose war is it anyway...


Whose war is it anyway {Remastered}

Don´t Keep Me Waiting

My life is so empty without you
After all the years we´ve been through
Long ago when we first met
You caught me in your net
Do it again!

My body yearns with desire
My bleeding heart burns like fire
The moment you made eyes at me
You blew my mind entirely
Do it again... Don´t play for time
I´ll be there if you change your mind

Baby, Baby...Don´t Keep Me Waiting
Sorry if I´ve done you wrong
Baby, Baby... Don´t Keep Me Waiting
My love is still so strong

My nights are long and lonely
I´m waiting for my one and only
I´m in need of your kiss
And I´m dying for your caress
Do it again..throw me a line
I´ll be there if you change your mind

Baby, Baby... Don´t Keep Me Waiting
Sorry if I´ve done you wrong
Baby, Baby...Don´t Keep Me Waiting
My love is still so strong

Baby, Baby...Don´t Keep Me Waiting..........................

Don't Keep Me Waiting

Emotions Moving: Flash Foward & Flashback

Tied To A Vision

For my friend from Shrewsbury – and for everyone who is there for others with love and strength.

The Way You Stay is a very personal song I originally wrote just for a close friend. After hearing it, he told me I should definitely release it – and so I did.

It tells about the importance of being there for each other – especially when life gets heavy.

It’s about the quiet strength of caring and the love that lies within those moments. About two people who carry each other and the closeness that grows from it.

But this song is not only for him – it’s for everyone who cares for others, quietly, steadily, and wholeheartedly.

A song about trust, friendship, and the strength that comes from staying.

Behind the music:
From the beginning I knew I wanted a choir in this song. I thought about it for a long time, wondering how it could work. In the end, I recorded more than 24 vocal tracks – all with my own voice – and processed them in such a way that the choir is made up of many little Axels.

I truly hope you enjoy listening to it.

The video for the song is available on YouTube:

The Way You Stay

He clears the table when the day is done,
he hides his worries from everyone. 
She takes his hand, and with her touch,
he feels he´s more than strong enough.

That’s the way you stay,
when the days get heavy.
That’s the way you love,
quiet but steady.
Two hearts leaning, all the way –
that’s the way you stay.

He keeps the light on late into the night,
she gives him reason, keeps his heart upright.
He hears her laughter, and it pulls him through,
that’s the reason she gives to do.

That’s the way you stay,
when the days get heavy.
That’s the way you love,
quiet but steady.
Two hearts leaning, all the way –
that’s the way you stay.

From far away I see you two,
the care, the trust, the gentle view.
It moves me more than words can say –
I hold you close, though far away.

That’s the way you stay,
when the nights turn colder.
That’s the way you love,
growing older.
Two hearts leaning, all the way –
that’s the way you stay.


The Way You Stay
