Lyrics

Filter

Filter out the world for me, through coloured lens reflected sea
And fill my head with blessed ease and white piano harmonies…….

Filter out the sounds for me, choose what I may hear or see
Blank canvas, empty space, silent air without a trace……………

A gentle breeze no cars no keys, no office jobs, no loud machines
And nobody,  and nothing to see

A gentle touch, just enough, to let me feel the smooth not the rough
And nobody,  no reality

Faded colours, faded sounds
Driftwood homes and driftwood towns
Faded walls with unseen wires
Driftwood beds and driftwood fires

Peace signs in perfect dreams
And everything so shiny clean
Glistening with tv sheen

Bombarded by thought
Bouncing exponential
Increasingly taught
Three thousand dimensional

Turn off for an hour
Be still as a tower
Let me breath……………tranquillity

Lyrics

Dive

They tell me it’s not real
But I know……cos I feel

They got me staring right into the sun
As I follow all my dreams
Against the steady stream

Gets me feeling like,  I might survive, I'm still alive

Gets me needing to

To dive into your eyes

But I'm not gonna dance for them today
I might shake my feet to their beat 
But I’ll shake’em my way

Sometimes they make me run too fast
Sometimes they make me sing too loud
but I'm only singing out 
to get through the crowd

They say it’s just a game
But not to me, they’re gonna know my name

They got me dodging millions of stones, 
as they rain down on my head, heavier than lead

Gets me feeling like,  I might survive, I'm still alive

Gets me needing to

To dive into your eyes

But I'm not gonna dance for them today
I might shake my feet to their beat 
But I’ll shake’em my way

Sometimes they make me run too fast
Sometimes they make me sing too loud
but I'm only singing out 
to get through the crowd

I see you
I see them
I see me in a way
I could never see back when
I met you
and you let me know that I could do
whatever I put my mind to

and now I got you
and now I've got the real me
and I'm gonna sing it out loud
so that everyone can see
that I can do 
what I do
without needing to be
the man you would not see
who I forgot to be

Dive

Lyrics

Hold on to me

Hold my hand, lead me out of this room, 
cos I feel like I can’t feel
Pinch my skin, kick me hard on the shin, 
need to know that you are real

Here we go, on one more blinding ride
I need you, to keep up so don’t slip from my side

I know change, sometimes comes too fast
Is it so strange, that it just might last?
Hold on to me
Hold on to me I cannot see
But I’m still gonna shoot for the stars
Shoot for the sun
Shoot straight out in front of me

You’re back again, you’re back again in my brain 
and you don’t intend to leave
I feel your lash and sweet mouth on my neck
Everytime you move to breath

Here we go, on one more blinding ride
I need you, to keep up so don’t slip from my side

I know change, sometimes comes too fast
Is it so strange, that it just might last?
Hold on to me
Hold on to me I cannot see
But I’m still gonna shoot for the stars
Shoot for the sun
Shoot straight out in front of me

Hold On

FAINT SOUNDS

I was there on my way home, touched the rain

when you my fear walked in to watch me writhe, watch me go insane


just then a..........
a little................. faint sound coming through

was that a?.....
Some kinda?..... faint sound coming through

Wooooaaawohoahoooh…faint sound comin' through x2

I been readin' bout the world and the bright blue sea

and they say just a little breeze

just a little breeze....

.......GONNA MAKE IT ALL FALL DOWN......ON TOP OF ME

That’s when a…
A little...................faint sound came through

was that a?.....
Some kinda?..... faint sound coming through


before you pass away, gotta have your say, or the faintest
sound they’re ever gonna hear is the sound of Judgement day
Will you turn away or face the day 
If you hear a faint sound coming round, don’t let it fade away

your life’s in disarray, you lost your way
but if the sun don’t shine tomorrow wait one more day

will you turn away or face the day 
when you hear a faint sound coming round, don’t let it fade away

woooaaaaawohoahwoowoh…..faint sound comin' through x2

Faint Sounds

Lyrics

Inside your head

Get high, on life, you’ll be a prince for the night, you’ll come alive
Taste everything twice….taste everything twice

And fly through the sky, like a silk winged butterfly
Go out and multiply…….go out and multiply

If the world is your oyster, you’re it’s bright new pearl
So go and dive in the ocean, through those white curls

“But don’t look to me”, that’s what she said
“Just look for peace, inside your head…

Or you might’s well be dead”
Inside your head x2

Howl at the moon, rip the clothes of your back, rise from the gloom
It’s gonna come to you ……….. it’s gonna come to you

And fly through the sky, like a silk winged butterfly
Go out and multiply…….go out and multiply

“But don’t look to me”, that’s what she said
“Just look for peace, inside your head…

Or you might’s well be living for somebody else”
Inside your head x2

Inside Your Head

Lyrics

Walk Through Love

Visor down, breathin’ dust
Feigning truth or did you think too much
Came alone counting words no one home

Jaded boy with a listless stare
Spinin’ out no time to stop for air
Nothin’s changed instinct blind no one home

Neon girl walkin’ wild
Came alone left to strive Laughs too soon countin’ words

Noone home no one home

Walk through love x 5

Walk Through Love (feat. Sophie Barker)

Lyrics

Hear me laughing’, hear me crying’
Hear…….the places I daren’t tread
Hear my sweetness, hear my sorrow
Hear the inside of my head

I can’t tell you the things that I tell you when I’m free
I can’t tell you in spoken word, the truths inside of me

Hear me bashful, hear me patient
Hear the me that you don’t see
Hear me listening, hear me loving’
Hear the whole essence of me

Just need to ask and I’ll sing for you
Don’t sit there waiting for that other fool

Hear…… all the words that I subdue
So clear, every note when I sing to you 

Hear me gentle hear me whisper
Hear my footprints in the snow
Hear me close in hear me clearer
Hear me nearer then you know

I’ve got so many words still left to sing to you
Through your symphonic ears my tears will slowly drip through

Hear me docile hear me placid 
Hear the places I daren’t tread
Hear my sweetness hear my sorrow
Hear the inside of my head

Just need to ask and I’ll sing for you
Don’t sit there waiting for that other fool

Hear…… all the words that I subdue, 
So clear, every note when I sing to you

Hear

Lyrics

9th Life

I’ll be your one man army heading off to make war
Your two man circus, juggling one ball
Be your three man crowd
Your four man company
Be your five man desert island with only one palm tree
Your six sense
Seventh wonder
I just eight all my pride

Be your ninth life x2

Cos All I want is you x2
All I want is you till the next world comes along
Till the next world comes along

I’ll be your one way ticket to a beautiful place
Your two worlds colliding, I’ll be the smile on your face
Your third dimension, four corners of your world
Be your five time champ, be your biggest fan
Be your Six million dollar man
Cos like the seven space men blasting off in a rocket
I’ll be an eight ball baby heading straight for your pocket

Be your ninth life x2

Cos All I want is you x2
All I want is you till the next world comes along
Till the next world comes along

Ninth Life

Lyrics

A Love Requite

You may not ever quite know
and I might never say

Just what you did for me 
when u gave me the eye and we slipped away

The whiskeys and Jägers and beers went some of the way
but softer than the bar, you propped me up
made me want to live for one more day

That was then, and u knew well
I could never fall

through concrete floor or seabed
cos there’s nowhere left from there, to sink at all

but you lifted me, so patiently

and with tiny steps and nasty scrapes
and little ladders and bigger snakes

you got me up to ten feet tall
with space for me to fall

but no gravity, to hurt me

beast and bear alike, 
you fly me round with the pride of a child with a kite
with no fear let the wind disappear 
cos you’ll catch me and hold on tight, 
with all that love a love despite
the sweetest love, a love just right
a real love, a love requite 

a love requite





Whispered sweet nothings in songs are a morning bird call
written in lust come and gone, full of furious sound meaning nothing at all

A true song just flows from a pen, line by line
with no need to search for the words, cos they pop right out and perfectly rhyme

So come up with me, so you can see,

That with with tiny steps and nasty scrapes
and little ladders and bigger snakes

you got me up to ten feet tall
with space for me to fall

but no witches brew to hurt you

beast and bear alike, 
you fly me round with the pride of a child with a kite
with no fear let the wind disappear 
cos you’ll catch me and hold on tight, 
with all that love a love despite
the sweetest love, a love just right
a real love, a love requite 

a love requite

A Love Requite WIP

Lyrics 

If I ask you to stay
Should I ask you to be 
All that I want
Or all that you need

Or all that you need

I guess life’s passing by
No time for thinkin, or blinkin an eye
It’s just so much easier to tell a white lie
Than a painful truth with hands held up high

 If I ask you to say
All you have on your mind
Should I ask for the truth
Or for you to be kind

I just need some kind

I guess life’s passing by
No time for thinkin or blinkin an eye
It’sjust so much easier to tell a white lie
Than a painful truth with hands held up high

Won’t be long till this is over
Breathe in slow, breathe out slower

Breathe in rhyme, rest unwind
Breathe in time, leave it behind

Won’t be long till this is over
Breathe in slow, breathe out slower

Breathe in rhyme, rest unwind
Breathe in time, leave it behind

All that you need (feat. Zoe Kyoti) WIP
