Just a short song about the rising cost of freedom

Land Of The Free

Nothing Is In Vain (by Pep Staarrs)

Nothing is in vain,
just to be your friend...

When you go,
wish you were here to stay...
...and alone, the house seems to be for sale.
The walls are falling following your way,
and the stars will find you!

Life is short
even if you are young.
Don't forget love is everywhere,
even when you go
I will be your buoy.

While I'm sleeping I can change the world all around
and the ghosts are just now so far...

When you say:
'Go on your own way!'
Though for me is
something that cause pain (2)
...but nothing is in vain.

Nothing Is In Vain

The Walk

I keep a box 
and you can bet I keep it locked 
nightmares stuffed inside 
and 
I refuse to pay it any mind 
cause I know it’s all tangled and untame 
       So I refrain 
           yea       I refrain 

Ripples running cross the surface 
being chased
at any moment 
I’m capsized and rolling over 
and you know I want to blame the wave 
       the anger and the flame 
A fire in my belly
Lightening in my veins

Then I feel the shame 
       yea I feel the shame
so I put it all away 

In a box
I keep 
Buried at my feet 
all tangled and untame 

Yea
I feel the anger and the flame 
Fire in my belly 
Lightening in my veins

you know 
gotta put it back again

I Refrain (amped)

something tells me won't be walking home today
all the memories keep tellin' you to stay
oh, the little things you thought you knew so well
put you in a spell

tell yourself, just to carry on
help yourself, to a little love
just exhale, feel the music in you heart
tell yourself, it'll be all right
it may take, the needed time
tell yourself and get through the day

when you know that there is nothing you can do
you wait

when it seems that it will never be the same
again

It’s a “No” From Me


I don’t see what they see
I can’t be what they want me to be
I hear them say “Yes”
And I’ve tried to care less
But we fail to agree and so it’s a “No” from me

I don’t hear what they hear
I don’t fear what they want me to fear
They don’t like my face
Or me taking up space
But I won’t disappear I’ll be scraping away the veneer

It’s a “No” from me
What else could it possibly be?

I don’t see what they see
I can’t be what they want me to be
I hear them say “Yes”
And I’ve tried to care less
But we fail to agree and so it’s a “No” from me

It's A "No" From Me

Bar The Door

Issues Road is a real place - on the way up to Holme Moss. It's also a state of mind. Anyone who thinks they're not on it is either very lucky or kidding themselves.

Come and ride the trail with us
In the footsteps of our fathers
It's a pity they got lost in time
Yeah they disappeared from trace just like us
Oh the stumbles of the past, well they build up too fast
We were reaping everything we sowed
We got tangled in the consequences
We got caught up on the Issues Road

It's a story of 
Rags to riches
And back again through muddy ditches
All in epic Yorkshire dialect
Really what did you expect?
It's a story of 
Snakes and Ladders
Sliding backwards like the clappers
Well we never really cracked the code
We got caught up on the Issues Road
By Jove!

Come and ride the trail with us
In the footsteps of our sisters
We were busy when adventure called
Yeah it's fair to say the good times missed us
I was working at the shop when opportunity knocked
Though I can't pretend I didn't know
Now it's black out over old Joe's mother's
And we're caught up on the Issues Road

It's a story of 
Rough and tumble
Ah, the Universe'll keep you humble
And kid I'll tell you this for nowt
You were there or maybe thereabouts
It's a story of 
Cops and Robbers
I think it's time I cut my losses
He's been jumping over all my rows
Left me stranded on the Issues Road
By Jove!

Come and ride the rocky trail with us
On the trail of all the haters and the burglars
Shout up on the air for the glory
1-0-7 'cos I don't think that they heard us
She'll be rattling the hangers in support
In the face of all the headaches and the grief
Heading out to Cape Verde
I don't think you heard me
Gotta grit your teeth for The Chief

Issues Road, Issues Road
Rainbow on the hillside, wind on the top
Issues Road, Issues Road
Keep fucking moving or we'll all seize up
Issues Road, Issues Road
We might be stuck in the mud, but we're not stuck in the past
Issues Road, Issues Road
If we ever get lost, just need to head for the mast

We're going nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
Nowhere, 'cos that's where it goes
We're going nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
Nowhere on the Issues Road
We're going nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
Nowhere, 'cos that's where it goes
We're going nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
Nowhere on the Issues Road
By Jove!
