I never had the chance
to tell you how I feel.
A once happy romance
over with a Lawyers deal.

My days were long and sad
at night I wished I was dead
But now the Springtime is here.
The future I no longer fear.

I hope you find what you're looking for.
Do you think about what we lost.
There is no point living in the past.
Decree Absolute  
Now you're free at last.

Now I can find
some peace of mind.
I know that you saw me
as someone you could 
leave behind.

Now I know the truth
you never loved me at all.
A marriage of regret
has ended in tears and debt.

I hope you find what you're looking for.
Do you  think about what we lost.
There is no point living in the past.
Decree Absolute 
Now you're free at last.

Now you're free at last

No more past

Now you're free at last

I hope you find what you're looking for.
Do you think about what we lost.
There is no point living in the past.
Decree Absolute 
Now you're free at last.

Do you remember
the first kiss?
Cold November
sometimes I reminisce
You put your hand inside my hand
You came along it was never planned

Something we felt deep inside
Something so hard to deny
I must have been out of my mind
You cast your spell 
I was blind

I can't forget how I felt on that day
I stood and watched as your train pulled away
My tears streamed down on my cigarette

Letting you go 
Is my biggest regret.

What can I do, to be a better man...

Should I style my hair, buy new clothes, 
try to fit her plan?

Do I beat a quick retreat,
Would that make me less complete?

Perhaps I'll cut the grass,
wash her car.
Anything to keep her sweet.

Always treats me wickedly.
Everyday the 3rd degree.

Gave her tea and sympathy.
She don't care at all for me. No no.

And I remember how it used to be.
So in love, happy and carefree.
Living our life of fantasy.
10 years on, I don't know what I did wrong.

Time is up for you,
is what he said to me.

No sooner had I gone
there's some guy,
she must have had him standing by.

You can see that I'm not tall.
A man of words, 
no fists at all.

He's over 6 feet high.
A movie star
Bright white teeth, 
a nice new car.

Why was she so cruel to me?
Behind my back on a loving spree.

Pride's been beaten black and blue
No way that I'll pull through...No no.

And I remember how it used to be.
an innocent boy,
happy and carefree.
In love with a girl from Tennessee.

Now she's gone,
I don't know what went wrong.

And I remember how it used to be
an innocent boy,

In love with a girl from Tennessee.

Now she's gone.
I don't know what went wrong.

No Right.
No Wrong.

The Girl I loved,
has gone.

Where I lay my head felt your heartbeat
Slept like a man cursed by fear
I dreamed I was trapped by a desert
Surrounded by blue sky so clear
And in from the east came Hell's weather
The fire turned my flesh into leather

Hand in hand we faced the fire
Mothers Fathers Children
Dying for our right to live
In - Our - Land
What God dealt us this hand?

Where I laid my head felt your heartbeat
slept like a man without fear
Dreamed I was standing in my home
Surrounded by family so dear
And out to the west the horizon
Where the sea holds the dreams of those now gone
In the land we hold free lay our dead friends
It's a price we must pay for our freedom

And i'm a lot like you
I'm just passing through
I'm just a simple man
I'm doing what I can

If you feel the need to try it,
It's so easy to do
and the the people that surround you
don't share your point of view.
So don't be shy reach for the sky
there's nothing at stake
Cos a life is worthless to a drug dealing snake
You think you're having fun
well let me tell you my friend
You'll be dancing with the Devil
until your pitiful end
Its well known fact 
that the weakest suffer the most
In this dirty Human world where
Ghosts... create...Ghosts...create...

...All the money and all the greed.
More food and drink that I'll ever need,
the cost to fill my car will feed a thousand
starving mouths.

All the trees are full of disease
Chemicals kill our Birds and Bees
It's a legacy, it depresses me
You're asking me,
we're lost at sea.

Muslim Jew and Catholic, Christian
You make me sick,
At each other you shake your stick
Perhaps we need Realpolitik

Nature knows just what to do
when a species time is overdue,
mass extinction for me and you
and there'll be no way out.

And I'm a lot like you
I'm just passing through
I'm just a simple man
But I got no plan

When I wake up in the morning
and I turn on the news
another blast there's 50 dead
A suicide bomber with a twisted head
I sip up my coffee and lace up my shoes
A dying Mother holds a screaming child
and the leaders of our land are so reviled
What I really do is put my head in my hands
Can't hide my feelings 
when everything is so unappealing
All I do is carry on
like nothing is wrong
well  I'll be home soon it won't be long
and I can lock the door and put the TV on

It's a well known fact 
that the weakest suffer the most
In this dirty Human world
where Ghosts create

Create Ghosts.

Here as I sit
at this old back street cafe
You pass me by
I don't catch your eye

There I sit 
as the rain fills up my empty cup
I'm watching you - move - further from view
To the end of the street,
Another man you must meet

I would never let down.
Watched you pass me by
A 100 times around this town

And how I pray a chance to meet

How can it be
That you don't ever notice me
I try every day
But the words
I can never say
as you walk on by that old back street cafe

And I swear I'd never let you down
Through all the sad times
In your life, I'd be around

And how I pray 
that you might notice me one day
And how I pray a chance to meet.

A guiding light
Calls to me softly
Cold winters eve

It's freezing cold
And I brace myself
Tonight I plan to thieve

Try the front door
A nice simple lock
Soon I'm inside

A nice family home
I warm my hands
By the fireside

You know that at this time of year
The chill bites the hardest

The winter brings hardship & pain
For those less blessed

I know that what I do is wrong
I'm breaking the rules

Please forgive me if you can
For stealing your jewels

No Christmas cheer
Only fear
Consumes my mind

And I must stay calm
Compose myself
See what I can find

Oh that's so nice
A necklace and a watch
Inside a jewellery box

It's stuff that I can sell
To the Ne'er-do-well
Down at the Hen & Fox

You know at this time of year
The chill bites the hardest

The winter brings hardship & pain
For those less blessed

I know that what I do is wrong
And I'm breaking the rules

Please forgive me if you can
For stealing your jewels

I'm a thief
with belief
Lord forgive me my sins

With regret
And a heavy heart
I do these things.

Do No Wrong

I never knew my Father
When he decided to leave
I was oh so young

Abandoned my Sister
My Mother wept in the night
She was oh so young

From the smallest seed grows the tallest tree
Its a selfish man 
forgets his family

And from a twisted branch falls a single seed
Stony ground below
you only reap what you sow

My Mother tried her best to help us she worked hard to clothe and feed us, each day, well she lost her way.

There's nothing left to say

And soon a new lover
He was barely a man
he was far too young

Then we lived together
in silence, too scared to speak
The days were so long

Weeks of arguments
a desperate scene
A childs innocence
Torn apart at the seams

Somewhere a twisted branch
drops another seed
Stony ground below
cut down before you can grow.

Every single thing that you do - it impresses me
Love the simple things the most.

Breakfast in my bed makes me smile - who could disagree?
Coffee and a slice of toast.

Your warm bruschetta - Nothing else is better.
Ripe soft Avocado - Babe I'll never let you go.
Olive oil on walnut bread,
Now I'm feeling really fed,
Ready for the day ahead,
Think I'm better off in bed.

Do'n Do

Baby you're so good me - I'm you biggest devotee
Your lover and your greatest fan - I want to be your leading man
Toasted rye with mushroom spread
Now I'm feeling over fed
Bellies bigger than my head
Baby just come back to bed.

No way I can leave my bed, 
Doubt if I can lift my head. 
Don't want to go to work today.

Was out all day with my friend, 
drinking wild to the night time end.
Talking about the girl he lost.

I don't have the words to start,
To tell him straight would break his heart, i feel, 
...like the worst man alive.
I never meant to catch her eye.
I never stopped to question why
I should've left and, caught the last bus home.

I should've left alone.
Mmmm
Do da day

I want to try to make things right.
Don't want to have to face this fight.
I only have myself to blame.

Now we've been friends for oh so long.
And what I've done is oh so wrong.
Give me the chance to explain.

That girl you love she's just no good
She came on strong, I knew I should,
have walked away.
I don't know what made me stay,
You need to know I'll be exact,
I'm not the only guy she's trapped.
So many times, 
you know she's so well known.

You're better off alone
Mmmmm

Do da day do da day 

Mmmmm ooh

Do da day
Should have left alone
Man you’re better off alone.
