ComeNowVoyager

All onboard to Andromeda
Take a trip across the nebula
Into the vortex 
Spin and spiral
Across the light years we will travel
 
Look at the parallax
See all the stars reset
The closer that we get
Come now voyager
Voyager

As passengers we ride
On this galactic journey
The Earth’s epic odyssey
Now voyager soar
Through space and through time
To seek and to find
  
Surfing the wake caused by the sun
Will take some aeons before we’re all done
Into the darkness, brave and bold
The great attractor waits you know

Hey
Look at the parallax
See all  the stars reset
The closer that we get
Come now voyager
Voyager

TurnYouOnLoveBomb

On a cool clear summer night
Someone said to me
Try a little of this my friend
And set your spirit free

Stopped and thought about it
For a second maybe two
And said ah what the hell now
What’ve I got to lose
And they said

Sit on back now and enjoy the show
Let me turn you

On… love bomb
Turn you on…
To loving
Yea

Break

You are the centre
The beginning and the end
This place in time will never be again
May you live forever in love

Break

Now I’m riding down the highway
Feeling oh so fine
And in part I owe it to the one that turned me on that time
So if you’re feeling lucky, keen to learn a thing or two
You know I’m more than happy to do the same for you

Just sit on back now and enjoy the show
Let me turn you

On… love bomb
Turn you on…
To loving
To loving

Well alright
You got it
Let’s go 
Now

For my darling wife Suzanne

JustForYou


Feeling kind of dark inside
On the edge just scraping by
And hoping for more
Cynical of the past
Waiting for another chance
Then you came through the door

When I looked into your eyes
Couldn’t help loving you, loving you
And I still get kinda high
When you come by

No matter what’s in store
I know one thing that’s for sure
I’ll be saving all my kisses for you
Just for you

I was lost in a black abyss
Needing more than a quick fix
And the spark for the catalyst 
Was the passion of our first kiss

Well things don’t always go as planned
Sometimes you know shit hits the fan
But I don’t get sore
Counting blessings yes indeed
Got what I want and what I need
When you came through the door

Now when I look into your eyes
Can’t help loving you, loving you
And I still get kinda high
When you come by

No matter what’s in store
I know one thing that’s for sure
I’ll be saving all my kisses for you

I’ll be saving all my kisses for you
Just for you

JustForYou

"Will the Circle Be Unbroken." - Ada R. Habershon,

NobodyKnows

Well I grew up with the good book
Was taught the golden rules
And each and every Sunday
I’d go to Sunday school

So when old grandpa breathed his last
And they laid him oh so low
They said he went to a better place
But where oh where did he go?

Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Where you go…

So I thought I’d ask the preacher
Hey preacher, what you know
He told me about salvation
And the fires down below
Well I thanked him for his wisdom
That he did bestow 
But though he talked and talked and talked
Well, I still don’t know

Cause nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Where you go
After your last breath
After your last breath…

Solo

Since then there’s been a lot of spec-u-lation
About karma and evils of temp-ta-tion
And though I like the sound of in-car-na-tion
Well ya know
I still don’t know

Yea I’d like to see my Ma and Pa
And all the family
It sounds so nice and cozy
But we’ll just have to wait and see 
Cause though I’ve looked and looked and looked
For the answer high and low
In conclusion now I must surmise, nobody knows

Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Where you go
After your last breath
After your last breath

All together now

Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Where you go
After your last breath
After your last breath

NobodyKnows

MyAngel

Well we all need someone to help us through hard times
Pick us up when we fall and dust us off for another try
Someone like my angel
Yea she’s my angel 
And you know I love her so

Cause she’s sweet as honey 
Smart as they come
Tuff as nails and so much fun
Even helps to pay the rent 
Sometimes I think she’s heaven sent

We all want someone we can depend on
Someone to trust when things start getting ruff
Someone like my angel
Yea she’s my angel
And you know I love her so

Solo

I thank the stars above I found her
Must have been my lucky day
What would I ever do without her
Well I fear I just fade away

Cause she brings me coffee in the morning
Her smile brightens up my day
I start to feeling like something missing
When ever she’s away
Yea she’s my angel and you know I love her so

Solo

Cause she’s sweet as honey 
Smart as they come
Tuff as nails and so much fun
Even helps to pay the rent 
Sometimes I think she’s heaven sent

We all need someone to help us through hard times
Pick us up when we fall and dust us off for another try
Someone like my angel
Yea she’s my angel
And you know I love her so

Yea she’s my angel and you know I love her
She’s my angel like no other
She’s my angel and I’ll never let her go

MyAngel

OnTheEdgeOfTheWorld

Hey have you heard
That time is running out
And there leaves no doubt

To arms to arms
Man the stations heed the call
One and all

Enough with all the debate
The time’s for action
Before it’s too…

Oh can you see
We’re all standing on the edge
On the edge of the world

Solo

When the embers 
Of your dreams 
Lie smouldering 
At your feet 

Then will you see 
We’re all standing on the edge 
On the edge of the world 

Solo

Enough with all the debate
The time’s for action
Before it’s too…

Hey have you heard
That time is running out
And there leaves no doubt

When the embers 
Of your dreams 
Lie smouldering 
At your feet 

Then will you see
We’re all standing on the edge
On the edge of the world

On the edge of the world

Think About It

Well I was walking down the street when what do I see
Some very self important people coming straight at me
Had to jump real quick to get out of their way
Well, excuse me I started to say	  
But then,  I stopped to think about it
I stopped to think 

About all the fun stuff that I’d rather do
Like enjoying the day not be playing with fools
Let it all roll off like water on a duck
And all them so-and-so’s can go get

 Ah-ah-ah

Stop and think about it
Just stop and think about it
Ah yea, whew

Solo

Mmm-mmm-mmm
Now I turn on the news and what do I see
Some very self important people looking back at me
It’s enough to make you crazy the things they say
Makes me wonder how I’ll ever get through the day	  
But then,  I stop to think about it
I stop to think 

About all the fun stuff that I’d rather do
Like go to the beach or maybe the zoo
I listen to them jabber but don’t pay them no mind
Any more than that would be  a  wasting my time

Ah-huh

Stop and think about it

Just stop and think 
So stop and think about it
Just stop and think about it
Oh yea

ThinkAboutIt

TwentyFirstCenturyMedievalWorld

Yea I know it’s  better
Than it’s ever been before
With all the  technobabble things
That we all vie for 
Like wi-fi and internet
Google this and Uber that
And here’s one thing you can’t forget      
We’re still
In a twenty first century medieval world

Now apathy’s an atrocity
A plague on the society
Acceptance and obedience
Feeds the endless greed

Like billionaires in rocket ships
Carrots hanging from a stick
And here’s one thing you can’t forget  
We’re still
In a twenty first century medieval world
Medieval world

Solo

Genuflection
Masters of the Universe
By the grace of God
Oh Buck Rogers

One generation to the next
Ad nauseam
begone you old bad habits
So we carry on
To live a life without the threat
Of crazy wars or massive debt
And here’s one thing you can’t forget  
We’re still
In a twenty first century medieval world
We’re still
In a twenty first century medieval world
medieval world
med-ie-val-world

DownTheRabbitHole

To all the poor of spirit
The meek, the ones who mourn
Those who thirst for justice 
Unfettered by the scorn

Yours shall be the kingdom
The mercy and the win
Known too as the children
Of the beginning and the end
The beginning and the end

Ah rockem sockem, now it’s like this
If I may I be so bold
First world problems, sink or swim
Do the Rigamarole 

De facto mojo, just for love        
Well waddaya know about that
Oneness lies within plane sight
Do the Rigamarole 
Down the rabbit hole

Ah come on now

Down the rabbit hole
Do the Rigamarole

Solo

The stars that sparkle 
In the night 
Fade away into day light
As morning heralds in 
A brand new day

No it’s not rocket science
Just misunderstood 
Don’t wanna fret but can’t forget
Though I wish I could
Knock, knock, knock on wood

To the salt of the earth
That lights  up the world
From the dawn of time
Of the eternal Grind

Here comes the Welcome Wagon
With the rubber soul
The greatest story ever told
Down the rabbit hole
Do the Rigamarole

Ah come on now

Do the Rigamarole
Down the rabbit hole

The stars that sparkle 
In the night 
Fade away into day light
As morning heralds in 
A brand new day

DownTheRabbitHole

Imagine you're in the 1950s and the only things you enjoy is your red shiny car and your family. It's time to hit the pedal to metal and rock. No idea what made me write some black humour blues about drinking and driving, but you won't stop dancing once you hit the play button. Special thanks to the whole band, who really rocked this.

==== Lyrics ====

Everybody's got real big problems
Not everything is worth a fight
The atmosphere is not always solemn
Can't get a hold of my car tonight

Oh oh, I turn the key, oh oh
And put the pedal to the metal - and rock!

Mama told me not to drive fast,
Behave well, commit no crime
Two pints of beer won't make my pain last
I got no pity for a dime

Oh oh, I turn the key, oh oh
And put the pedal to the metal - let’s rock!

Uh, look what you made me do
All pumped up with fuel
I reek of gasoline
And put the pedal to the metal and rock
And put the pedal to the metal and rock

The wind is blowing into my face
Fallen leaves late in September
So fucking tired of this rat race
Thank God I modified the camber

Oh oh, I took it easy, oh
And put the pedal to the metal - and rock!

Guardian angels burst in laughter
When my car got out of control
Another man who leaves two daughters
That's the price for rock'n'roll

Oh oh, I turned the key, oh oh
And put the pedal to the metal - and rocked!

And put the pedal to the metal - and rocked!
And put the pedal to the metal - and rocked!

Pedal To Metal

Acumen

Hear us oh Acumen
The horde is at the wall
Without your help I fear for all

Temptation, the darkness
Born from demon seed
Guide us in our time of need  

Oh Acumen 
Of wisdom and light

Mighty Arrogance spreads it’s wings 
As brilliance dims 

Do not forsake us now oh Acumen
Lead us not to rot but sweet dominion  

Brave bold vigilance
Is fending off the hate
But soon it may be to late

Dogma strikes
Without hesitation 
Awareness the revelation
The rev-e-la-tion

Comprehension
Understanding
Empirical reason
Are fading fast
Into the past 
Of days gone by

Oh Acumen 
Source of truth

Mighty Arrogance spreads it’s wings 
As brilliance dims 

Do not forsake us now  oh Acumen
Lead us not to rot but sweet dominion 

The brut strength of ignorance
Is smashing down the gate
Save us from this woeful fate 

The swarm of indifference
Attacks at viral speed
Defend us from absurdity

Oh Acumen

Acumen

Stupefied

Oblivion rains down from from the sky
Delivering another eye-for-an-eye

And it 
don’t stop
No it won’t stop
Till your six foot
In the ground

Don’t it just
make you feel
A little bit stupefied
Stupefied

The worlds fate hangs in the balance
Waiting for the next showdown
Make no bones about it 
It’s enough
It’s enough
To make the angels cry 
Make the angels cry
Make the angels cry

Well I don't know where I am headed
But I know what I leaving behind
The excuses, abuses, atrocities 
Humanitarian crimes

Cause it 
Won’t stop
No it never stops
Till your six foot
In the ground

And don’t it just
make you feel
A little bit stupefied

Don’t it just
make you feel
A little bit stupefied

Stupefied
Stupefied

Stupefied
