Jatras

Out takes

I don’t want to be alone, I don’t want to be alone
Till the sun don’t shine, or you are mine
I don’t want to be alone

Little kid is up all night
Frightened by the stormy lights
He knows his mom she isnt there
And this is where my fears lay

I don’t want to be alone, I don’t want to be alone
Till the sun don’t shine, or you are mine
I don’t want to be alone

Everyday just ticks on by
I’m living life for the sake of life
The voices call for me to go outside
But me I stay inside and cry

I don’t want to be alone, I don’t want to be alone
Till the sun don’t shine, or you are mine
I don’t want to be alone

Pretty soon will come salvation in this life
And as we break out of this prison, I don’t know what we’ll find

I don’t want to be alone, I don’t want to be alone
Till the sun don’t shine, or you are mine
I don’t want to be alone

I Don't Want To Be Alone

Oh baby, since you’ve been my lady, we’ve always stood up for what is right
Oh baby, can’t you see that maybe, this time we’ll have to stand and fight

Dark desire, homes on fire, some aspire to become war lords
Hearts divided, hate united, the world is quiet it’s the eve of war

Oh lady we must protect our babies and bring them to a better place
Oh lady these grown up games amaze me, this has become a war of race

Oh the world has let its children down
Oh the world has let its children down

Oh lady when will life show mercy and bring light to our darkest days
Oh lady nothing can console me I want you with me when I say

Oh the world has let its children down
Oh the world has let its children down

The World Has Let Its Children Down

I Want It All

We Want It All

The young have their dreams intact
The old feel they’re done
The rich go and buy the world
The poor feel their pawns

The black man has no faith in law
The white man trusts it so
These are the days
When we ride high and low

This is life and its found
In each corner of this world 
As it spins round and round
This is life and it flows
Like a river that’s flowing where nobody knows

These folks are the chosen ones
These folks are not
This woman calls freedom home
This one’s locked up

This family grieves a loss of life
This family gives birth
This family’s star is bright
This one feels no worth 

Chorus…

Sometimes I feel that this balance is fair
It’s one of those grand scheming things
Who are the haves and who are the have nots
Who are the caught in betweens

I stare at my drink 
as the room spins around
The bar girl she calls my name
A sweet distant sound

These are the days when 
I think long and hard
My refuge from sunlight
In this dank smoky bar

This is life…

This Is Life

What Dreams can be found on reject lane
where the discarded congregate to share their pain
as they fall down

If the search in life is for self esteem
then I don’t know what I’m getting here except broken dreams
as I fall down again

Scratching for dirt at King and John
Looking for a job, a king with no crown
as I fall down

Sitting ‘cross the desk, my tensions mount
The interviews over my papers don’t count
as I fall down again

Sometimes I feel that I am invisible
How can you feel the pain of one you cannot see
People turn away cos my life makes them uncomfortable
I guess that things must be what they must be

A family to feed, what will I do
Sell my soul to him or to you

I Fall Down

Baby I'm A Frightened

I'm Gonna Throw Off These Chains

Charming Man

I need to drown in a sea of love and sex and seduction
She holds the key to my soul to myself to my love to my satisfaction

You be mine in this sea of never
Seldom connected seldom in your thoughts
Would you take me in if I were to shed this skin
If I became a totally new old man oh yeah

I need to drown in a sea of love and sex and seduction
She holds the key to my soul to myself to my love to my satisfaction

Journey Of  The Heart

It was a cold and dark December
There wasn’t much to remember
I was born into this world an innocent child

And ever since they told me
To live my life decently
To live this life in the name of paradise

So I grew up and took a wife
We built ourselves a life
But suffered at the hands of fate and now we cry

Now life has us on the run
Living it ain’t quite so fun
We keep our hopes in the name of paradise

It was a cold and dark December
Nearly went and met the maker
Now anything can happen and I’m glad to be alive

Now I’m growing old so fast
All the loved ones in my past
In their eyes is the name of paradise

In The Name Of Paradise

Dance With Me

Verse 1
Sally was a looker, the angel of night
Walking the streets, under street lights
Sally was my lover, since we were young
But now we’re done and apart

Verse 2
Got my education, I moved away
We grew apart, nothing to say
She found the thrill of getting so high
Much as I try she won’t stop

Prechorus
And she has this man
With his scar and his spray painted tan
I want to reach out to her
But he guards her like she is his own

 
Chorus
Sally would you come, would you run away
There’s a better life beyond these hills
In you there is that girl
The one I knew when I was your man
And in time you will shed off this skin
And we’ll make it to the promised land

Middle
On and on we go, on and on we must move forward
On and on we go now baby, ah ah ah

Prechorus
One night I faced her man
And he blocked the door and pulled out a gun
She was bruised and crying
And I knew that I would fight for her life

Verse
Sally was my lover, my childhood friend
I’ll stay with her till the end
I rush towards him, screaming with rage
You’ll never know how this ends

Sally Was This Girl

Your man has departed and left you alone
He’s treated you so bad, your dark days are done
The tears that you cry are wasted on him
So why do you cry for him

Nananana…so why do you cry for him

The angel of love tells me you are the one
I’ve held out for you and I feel dumb
Yet as I watch the stars I’m dreaming of you
So why do you cry for him

Nananana…so why do you cry for him

And you know and I know
You’re the one I’ve always wanted
And I’ve tried to be by your side
So why do you cry for him

Why Do You Cry

Well you move to the left
Then you move to the right
But you know you’ve been born
And given this life
You say you like it
Cos you’re a toddler

As you grow you get hurt
By the ones who love you most
As the pain seeps right in
Its covered by your ghosts
Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Hare Krishna A few years older


And you find yourself some love
And you move into a box
Next thing you have some kids
And your head hurts a lot
Howl at the moonlight
As you oughta

And then your marriage ends
And youre sitting all alone
Making doodles and strange art
for your gravestone
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Hare Krishna A few years older

And I would love to break this spell
But time keeps moving I’m going down this well

The Well

Since Youve Been Gone Away

Wake up late, stay in bed
The cats want food and I play dead
Out for a walk, there’s such a chill
Avoid the mail, avoid the bills

These are the days, when I have learned to let it go
These are the days that are so crushing for my soul
These are the days I am acting like a bum
And I’m out of work, and I feel like I’m the only one

Make the bed, clean the house
Cook some food I’m feeling proud
Look for work another day
You’re rejected is all that they say

These are the days, when I have learned to let it go
These are the days that are so crushing for my soul
These are the days I am acting like a bum
And I’m out of work, and I feel like I’m the only one

You made your bed sir
You made your bed sir
But I want to live, And I want to have fun

Go to the park, with a sandwich wrapped
And say hello to the senior chaps
Hope to meet the opposite sex
But oh my gosh, I just met my ex

These are the days, when I have learned to let it go
These are the days that are so crushing for my soul
These are the days I am acting like a bum
And I’m out of work, and I feel like I’m the only one

The Only One

I know Veronika, her life is such a blur
She’s going through a stint
Her life is such a mess, I hear her now confess
She likes those pills

Someday in a warm summer
When the leaves are green
I’d give her a little flower
But it isn’t really the way that it seems

I like Veronika in spite of all the slurs
She throws at me
We go a ways back, but we’ve never tacked 
To Love that’s supreme

Someday in a warm summer
When the leaves are green
I’d give her a little flower
But it isn’t really the way that it seems

Someday I will get her
Her moods her precious ire
Someday she will get it
Just why I stuck around
Someday she will see
My heart and how it bleeds
Gather up your things now honey
Gather up your dreams
Tonight my love is just what it seems

I’ve known Veronika, and its been such fun
She likes to party
But we’re at the end, and I cant pretend
She doesn’t like me

Someday in a warm summer
When the leaves are green
I’d give her a little flower
But it isn’t really the way that it seems

Veronika

Since You've Been Gone Away- remix

Am I out of the woods

Paradise is in the hearts of the ones you love 
And those you leave behind you
Happiness is a state of mind , that’s all around
In all things that are true

And after life has ended
Make sure you don’t regret it

Paradise is in the hearts of the ones you love 
And those you leave behind you
Open up embrace your life shake it up
And live your life as though its new

And after life has ended
Make sure you don’t regret it

Paradise is in the hearts of the ones you love 
And those you leave behind you
Happiness is a state of mind , that’s all around
In all things that are true

And after life has ended
Make sure you don’t regret it


Paradise Is In The Hearts Of The Ones You Love

What's so funny about peace love and understanding?

Ma Jolie Louise

Feel so safe in your arms
But at times I feel so restless
And so down
I’m going away

As I see the tears roll down from your eyes
As I look for meaning in my life in my life..
I’m going away

Going away now, going away
Going away now, going away

Time will heal all wounds in our lives
But my hurt runs deep and much as I try
I’m going away I’m going away

A little voice tells me you’ll be alright
You will pull through and see the light
And the energy of this world is divine
And divine is the light I’ve seen in your eyes

Going away now, going away
Going away now, going away

Going away

Freedom

I love my close ones and I love them one and all
But they have me worried I don’t want to lose no one
Fear is the price of love no one ever said
But these times are different and the rules have been reset
Guess I’m a lucky guy

I sit here all alone and worry ‘bout the days
I’m scared to go out I want to stay in bed
The daily question is if this is life or death
Sometimes I wish I could live with my blind faith
Guess I’m a lucky guy

I guess they call this game survival
Won’t you come and join my gang
I’m holding out for our revival
Wont you lend a helping hand

I watch the news and it has so many sides
They’re yelling at each other me I’m scared to die
I watch the numbers and they’re almost off the edge
We are imprisoned in this prison that we made
Guess I’m a lucky guy

I guess they call this game survival
Won’t you come and join my gang
I’m holding out for our revival
Wont you lend a helping hand


I wish I knew how this story really ends
I may be smarter or I may just be dead
So I sit here all alone working on this song
This is my letter to those babies still unborn
Guess I’m a lucky guy
