Bevevriata (gotta be tamed)

Heartbeat well advised (2)

Lyrics~

There's a woman in my life
There's a woman in the window 
She's longing for something to move her 

A silence in her soul
Enchanting truth be told 
Hope she's got good grip, I couldn't lose her

But she's a gettin sick 
Sick n tired of me
We just don't feel that kick, we got used to it too quick

But if I still could pick
I'd leave it all behind 
There's a woman on my mind 
And she treats me real kind 

She's a darlin' rest assured 
Beg your pardon, she's all yours 
I've got troubles of my own that must be handled 

Treat her gentle in the night 
She'll blend in and feel alright
A chamelion dressed in white with every colour in her sight 

But she means nuthin' by it
She sells to those who buy it 
Her spells are soft n sweet, and they go down just a treat 

There was a woman in your life
That left you tracing footsteps 
Don't make her miss her flight 
Your'e free from the lady dressed in white

'NotForSale' _ Live performance in Birmingham

Walk away from that cell 
I knew far too well
Walkin on

My lady fare thee well
A story to tell
To my unborn child

Live to tell the tale 
For every living wail
Left on mother earth 

Live to tell the weary eyes
Live to stand the test of time
Of bittersweet love

Givin all i got
Still its not enough 
For many hard to please

Dear i nearly forgot
Forgot to find your soul 
Dyin ill at ease

Your simple way with words
Are floodin me with tears 
I couldn't help but find myself 
Further from the cheers 

A fragrence in the air 
Takes me back to then n there 
A beauty on the staircase
Would make me well aware 

Of my dumbfounded eyes 
An intimate surprise 
Im no good at goodbyes babe 
I beg youll see through my guise 

Please do go on without 
So you can find out 
Just what youre missin 

When youre down n out 
With nothin on the mount 
You climb with eyes a glistenin 

Will you resist
A tight clenched fist 

Will you persist 
Or tick it off the list

will you 
will you

love (x4)

Stranded in love (empty handed)

Lyrics~


Saw you igniting the flesh with a torch passed on by the martyr
Now cured of true emptiness endured with faith and resilience 
The zeal of righteousness intent we'll repent with a daring demeanour 
The real inditement will fall at the feet of the carnage cleaner 
(Chorus) ~  Gotta clean this act together 
Woolly n scruffy n mean 
Gotta team up fight like it never will end 
It took me a while to be keen 

Is it real, is it really happening 
Is the day coming to an end
Or shall we clean our act up n fight till we fend

Is it real is it really comin  
Will darkness intrude 
We could rise with no interlude 
When faith cuts deep will we follow the trail 
(Harmonica)

Saw you fighting for all the wrong causes 
Saw femme fattales tarnish your mind 
In a daze the craze will control n take hold of your spirit n soul 
Saw the mirror smash heads clashin everywhere no one truly cares for salvation 
But its easy i know to be thrown in the deep end with no way back up

Put a coin in the cup 
I'll wait for that cup to fill up
And throw it all out to the birds 
And speak to them no need for words 

Could we ever even take these words in
With empathy and understanding 
Or is everythin standing a still 
Like a miracle over that hill 

Made a choice on the staircase way back when a real deal favour was given 
Now I pray to the lord everyday to be heared out loud and forgiven 



Woolly 'n scruffy 'n mean

Stranded in Love

Winds have changed

Lyrics~

Out of morbid curiosity 
When will you run out things to be?
In a snow globe shattered fantasy 
Your closet's full of mystery

While days are getting shorter 
The night is dancing bright 
She waits across the boarder 
A sight to be seen in flight 

Out with a flash and a fume 
Gone with with the wind and the gloom 
You're reckless with whom you receive 
This life ain't for those who can dream

But we made it this far now 
So lets cross the sea holding hands 
Yes we picked the forbidden fruit 
But we seek peace from self inflicted doom 

Yes we ate up all the lies 
And we let go of the truth 
It felt too heavy to bare 
But lord we've come back for you 

Back with a smile a wave 
Who knew even we could be saved 
We were weak, sick and depraved 
But this name I shall take to the grave

Bedrock salvation

Out On The Wing (produced)

Goose chase

Permission to roam

Who am I to you 
A friend or a feind 
A beggar on the loose 
A fella proud n mean 

What am I to say 
The answer is clear 
Eveybody weighs you down 
If you can't keep it in 

Who am I to choose 
The dreamy fantasy 
The sunset on the loose 
Is all you'll ever see 

Tight around the waist 
Motorcycle race
Waiting for the sun 
There's a moon on the run 

All who wish speak 
Will have their voices heard 
This land of strong n weak 
Will treat for every bird 

Eradicating fear 
Is all we need in cheer 
In spirit of the loved ones 
A life where death draws near 



Moonrun (live)

C'est la vie

The odd bods~ Full live performance (04/01/2025)

When I step into the valley 
i feel so far apart 
My fingertips can sense it all
But not this broken heart 

Those tiny little pieces 
Amount to so much more 
Your open arms increase in size 
While I'm shrinking on the shore 

The seaside superstitions 
The sirens of the south 
Make every trip a vision 
Turn grown men into doubt 

Well all I ever saw there 
Beneath the choppy waves 
Was a monster staring back at me 
A familiar kinda face 

Now every time I go there 
Searching for myself 
It leads me back to nowhere 
To the goblin and the elf 

To something far from real 
Somewhere far from true 
I knew that day was coming 
The moment I met you 

Well now I'm on the surface 
Floating like a fly 
Thought that I deserved it 
Until I shut my eyes 

Momentary movement 
Drifting out of reach 
No one there to see me off
No big teary speech

Only God is watching 
Every move I make 
Every sound I summon 
Every piece of cake 

And now the day is dying 
The night is on it's way 
So much for all the trying 
All in just one day 

No need to make it bad news 
Better make it good 
For everyone has values 
And everyone draws blood 

It's just that you've gone further
Out of all your pals 
Maybe it's a punishment 
For disobeying vows 

All is on your doorstep 
Come and take a look 
People of all cultures 
Reading the same book 

Freedom grows in abundance
Yet it's taken straight from birth 
Born in cheap redundance 
For to never know your worth 

All I say is final 
Finally I say 
Talking from my ancestors 
Waking them up to pray 

Praying for my brother 
Sister mother too 
Staying on my own today 
Has led me back to you 

Well every time I see her 
She sings a solemn song 
Takes me back to free her 
From dying on the throne 


Oceans apartment

Fellow falcon cry (live and extended)

Sylvia : back seat strangers

Moonrun (alternate take)

Fragile smile

(Man walks away)

Through the years 
All I ever did 
Was leave my past behind 
And face the fall

Through the lies
Found the truth of it all
You were satisfied
Standing strong n tall

Book of burgundy 
Yeah eh eh eh
You stand still glamorising unpaid bills 

Duke of urgency 
Yeah  eh eh eh
You hand out flyers for the sanctuary 

And all the rest 
Is only second best
You break my frozen shield 
Fix my broken wings 

All I ever did

When I Woke Up

Guiding Me Home, Lord

Made In China

Miracle AVE

Moonrun (Bonus Track)

Woke in sweat n fright
In the dead of night 
Had a dream of you 
Only out of sight 

It was there I found 
Right up on the ground 
Shadows onto me 
Come from Galilee 

What I saw out there
In that dingy hole 
Was beyond me, man 
Felt it hit my soul 


In a room of light 
I was in the dark  
In a room of black
I could feel a spark 


You came onto me 
With that evil eye 
But I held off good 
And I'll tell you why 

Cuz I need that love 
Could be goin far 
I've got bullet wounds 
From your cheating heart 




Restless nights

Heavy jam (with Dylan)

In the dead of night (2)

My baby told me something bout the way that you move 
Sly shape shifter out on the loose 
Everybody watching what you gonna do 
Fell to the fist of a luney tune 

Caught you by the tail but you bit off clean 
Dodged another bullet, Killin spree 
Everybody moving with a bottle or three 
Found me on the levee now let me be 


Let me be (x4)


And it real 
Ain't it real 
When you feel this way 
ain't it real 
ain't it real
Cant you take it appreciate it

Now I'm on the tail end of destiny 
Found what I needed what I came to see
The people behind the mystery 
Come out n get it go make the scene 

Chose another pose for the magazine 
Keepin my cool girl keepin it clean 
Frowning the growling underneath 
Keeping the judge proud n mean 

Hmm 
You gonna get it 
You gonna get it
