V1
Just want to go home
As I feel oh so alone
The band is playing slowly 
And it's getting really late

I've got to catch a car
I just have to check the bar
I would say goodbye to her
But it doesn't make no sense

Ch
That night, leaning in the lamplight
Thought we would be alright – So tight
But you forgot to mention
Something was just not right

V2
Now as you gloat – Fetch my coat
Wondering if it's stopped raining
Can't get it out of my head
Sometimes there's no explaning

So, I'll down my drink
And sometimes think
About that crazy journey
Life carries on and I hope you're doing well 

Ch
That night, leaning in the lamplight
Thought we would be alright – So tight
But you forgot to mention
Something was just not right

Coat

I woke up late last night
I dreamt she'd gone
Left all alone
Silent, no shadow near
It all came back to me then

Tears dry upon my face
Nightmares replaced with a lonely space
Then echos filled the night
Now guiding me to the light

She's calling me
From far away
She's calling me
She knows she can never set me free

I held her til the end
I tried to pray but she slipped away
Now I must follow on
My love for her still so strong

She's calling me ...

She's Calling

Have you seen the writing on the wall?
There's always a push before a fall
Is the pressure driving you insane?
Did you foresee the final curtain?

The Final Curtain

When you dream of unity and trust
All borders blown into the past
How can you be sure that you're awake
When you're so close to the final curtain?

The Final Curtain

Have you checked your eyes are blue?
Do you believe the true religion?
Are you white? A political right?
Still you can't survive the final curtain

The Final Curtain

The Final Curtain

Once again I walk the tightrope
Head spins from forsaken hope
To reconcile, to heal old wounds
I’m beyond that now, I can’t dance, to that tune

The broken promise I chose to swallow        
The slate I wiped, it all rang hollow
I bought your lies but the bank’s run dry
The blame you insisted I share, and the lies

You make no sense you twist the truth     
Unrecognised from the innocence of your youth

My questions you choose to ignore       
My reasons not the point anymore
Your mysterious melancholy goes unexplained
I’ve fought too long, can’t shake the blame
Maybe I’ll see you on the other side

Comfort in conscience, knowing it’s clear
Masks my sadness, for year upon year     
I can’t make you like me, if you’ve had your fill 
I don’t have the power if you don’t,  have the will

I watch your eyes fall to the floor
You stand to leave gently closing the door
My voice has gone, lost on the breeze
Can’t carry on living like that, on my knees


On The Other Side

Katrina, a love that rattles windows and doors.
No love like this can take place without some damage.
It's here to celebrate life!

De tekst:

Katrina
[Chorus]

Katrina, ain't no surprise they named a storm after you
You catch my eyes with everything that you do
You're beautiful, it's true, but so dangerous too
Oh Katrina

Katrina, won't you step closer and blow me away
I'm hanging on to every word that you say
Yeah you can ruin my life while making my day
Oh Katrina
Won't you please move my way
Please move my way

[Verse]
Oh I knew it from the moment I saw her
That I'd never be the same
I've known ever since the day I met her
She'd be the cause of all my pain
But she drew me in with the sweetest kiss
Into this rain
Now there's no turning back, no escaping this
She's a fucking hurricane

[Chorus]
Katrina, ain't no surprise they named a storm after you
You catch my eyes with everything that you do
You're beautiful, it's true, but so dangerous too
Oh Katrina

Katrina, won't you step closer and blow me away
I'm hanging on to every word that you say
You can ruin my life while making my day
Oh Katrina
Won't you please move my way
Please move my way

NEW FOUND HOME

We came to this land, when the war left us no choice
My father took a stand, though he never raised his voice

We woke up the very next day, and we looked freedom in the face
I texted all my friends, back in that other place

The war didn’t take any prisoners, justice on holiday
My misery in that desert, became a distant memory

My new found home, I can be who I wanna’ be
My hopes are rising, this freedom is new to me

And I walked outside, like I was frozen in time
Gazed at the mountains, every one I wish to climb
The waterfalls and the bears, the clear running streams
Seems we landed in paradise, and this is the stuff of dreams

My new found home, I can be who I wanna’ be
My hopes are rising, this freedom is new to me

BRIDGE
And my father learned the language, shook the hand of everyone he met
Every morning, every evening, moving on with no regret
And he built us a new life . . . one brick at a time

I was lonely for a season . . .  then I fit right in to this new world
My friends at school took interest in my story
But I could never share the pain, No I could never share the pain, from where I came
Life was never gonna be the same

My new found home, I can be where I wanna’ be
My hopes are rising, this freedom is new to me

Life is never gonna be the same
Life is never gonna be the same
Never gonna be the same

NEW FOUND HOME

I've lost my direction
I've nowhere to turn
My energy gone
Now I'm feeling forlorn

I've been under pressure
I have to escape
There's only a square hole
And I'm the wrong shape

Don't misunderstand me
This feeling will pass
I'm not looking for something
That's going to last
Now I need someone
To help wash my worries away

If only for tonight
You can shine a light to guide me 
Only for tonight
You can put the pain behind me
You can tell me lies to blind me
Please just wrap your arms around me
If only for tonight

Been feeling so lost
Now it's time to be found
Things always look better
When you come around
Let's enter the bubble
A fortress of love
Protecting our hearts
From bombardment above

Don't misunderstand me
This feeling will pass
I'm not looking for something
That's going to last
Now I need someone
To help wash my worries away

If only for tonight
You can shine a light to guide me 
Only for tonight
You can put the pain behind me
You can tell me lies to blind me
Please just wrap your arms around me

Only for tonight I'll be flying
My joy amplifying
Forget all my troubles a while
My heart will be pounding
My resolve resounding
Tomorrow's tears eons away

Only for tonight
Only for tonight

If only for tonight
You can shine a light to guide me 
Only for tonight
You can put the pain behind me
If only for tonight
You can shine a light to guide me 
Only for tonight
You can put the pain behind me
You can tell me lies to blind me
Please just wrap your arms around me
If only for tonight

Only For Tonight

An electronic Arabic instrumental experiment

Electro Arabic


there to disappear

with muted senses
searching so as not to find
shuffling our feet as
all our precious clocks
unwinding and wily
what be your business here?
if not to remind me of
all I truly am

and then, and there to disappear
oh,to disappear
and then, and there to disappear

guarded ignorance
wonder doesn't have a name
curtsy to indifference as
night follows days again
no time for distance
let me ring a bell in your ear
all out of patience
I turn another page

and then, and there to disappear
oh,to disappear
and then, and there to disappear

all these demands, this rush for affection
'just saying, who needs love when we've got protection?

and then, and there to disappear
oh, to disappear
and then, and there to disappear
to disappear

Rightly

there to disappear
