Andrew L Rose 1

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.

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.
