Waves
03:20
|
|||
|
Something is happening, what can it be
I’m so scared of falling, who’s gonna catch me
The wind is a blowing, the sand stings my eyes
I’m losing my balance, clouds over my sky
Chorus
Feelings of loneliness fading away
The sun is arising out over the bay
It’s something that I can see coming these days
Slowly, but surely, I’m dreaming in waves
The dry grass is whistling, the seabirds cry out
The smell of the salt turns my senses about
I’m floating like driftwood, I’m fighting the foam
Seems like this current is taking me home
Chorus

Unchain My Bike
02:22
|
|||
|
Like a bike without a chain
Like a bath without a drain
Like a candle with no flame
Is my life without you
Like a town without a name
Like the wine without the stain
Like a Bruce without a Wayne
Is my life without you
Well I like to think, that I could get by, oh but I don’t even want to try
Yes I like to think, that I could get by, oh but I don’t even want to try
Just like pleasure without pain
Like the sugar with no cane
Just like Europe without Spain
Is my life without you
Like dessert without the main
Like Pauline’s oh “please explain”
Without you I go insane
That’s my life without you
Chorus
Like a window with no pane
Like a track without a train
Like a band without a Jane
Is my life without you
Like a bike without a chain
Like a bath without a drain
Like a candle with no flame
Is my life without you

Connie
05:58
|
|||
|
I’d paint a picture of her face, but I’m no Picasso
And time is wearing on, taking a memory every day
But I will not forget what you’ve been to me
Where do I begin to set my memories free
Black and white movies and mud pies
The secret cupboard, his medals and treasures hidden inside
Smooth blue veins and soft paper skin
Time away to begin again
Chorus
‘Cause Connie’s part of the reason why I’m built this way
And Connie taught me so much that I feel, so much that I say
She taught me about different from and similar to
I miss her still
I used to wonder, how you lived alone
A crocheted knee rug a cup of tea a telephone
Now I understand what make you strong
You’d been living like an island for so long
She came two thousand miles to be with him, and
She left a family, a city, a life, a home and
She learnt to live with the dust and the flies and the farm and
She battled on, and how she loved him
I planted geraniums on your grave, I know you like them
The stand of trees you planted still stands up to the wind and the rain
Your door was always opened wide
Your place was warm, familiar so safe inside
Chorus
I miss her still

Stop The Violence
02:50
|
|||
|
Not if you beg, there’s no excuse
There need to be changes, you can still choose
We won’t tolerate in silence, crimes where there’s violence
That’s no way to treat another human being
STOP the violence, STOP the violence, STOP that violence, because
It is unacceptable, it is unacceptable, It is unacceptable, it is unacceptable
Don’t abuse the power, that you have in this world
STOP those actions, well just put them on pause, permanently because
That would be unacceptable, that would be unacceptable
That would be unacceptable, that would be unacceptable
Do, do, something about it, Do, do, something about it
Do, do, something about it, Do, do, something about it
Whether it’s walk then talk, or stand side by side
We can all take action, for a positive cause
Why don’t we do, do, do somethin’ about it
Why don’t we do, do, do somethin’ about it
Take a step now, keep learning how,
Understanding, ways to respect
Why don’t we do, do, do somethin’ about it
Why don’t we do, do, do somethin’ about it
Do somethin’ about it

Err On The Side Of Love
03:33
|
|||
|
Life’s complicated, feels syncopated
Momentum’s hard to find to move ahead
Time to remind myself the best way through
Time to remember, I know what to do
Chorus
Err on the side of love, err on the side of love
Take a breath, close your mouth, cool your head, just relax
And err, on the side of love
Life’s going my way, straight down the highway
Nothing can bother me, cruisin’ along
Then out of nowhere, I’m cleaned up from behind
Time to remember, the best way I find
Chorus
Life isn’t always exciting new byways
Day to day necessities can drag me down
Whatever I’m doing I need to see
The main priority
Chorus x 2

Soon
03:32
|
|||
|
Something coming on the breeze, Something eyes have never seen
Something good around the bend, Something that will never end
Ooohh, it’s coming soon
No more crying, no more pain, All the loved ones whole again
No more fighting, no more war, No need to fight anymore
Ooohh, it’s coming soon, Ooohh, it’s coming soon
No more sadness, no more greed, No one living on their knees
All the exiles home again, All the captives free again
Ooohh, it’s coming soon, Ooohh, it’s coming soon

See The World
03:36
|
|||
|
Face in the window, where’s the journey’s end
Train headin’ somewhere, turning round the bend
Old train door opens, dust and diesel I can smell
We don’t stop at every station, who knows its name
See the world, the world just passing by
See the world, the world just passing by
See the world, the world just passing by
Old man looks across, stares me in the eye
Travellers share a moment in their lives
Fear and anger, need to turn the tide
Brings us out to where we cannot hide
See the world, the world just passing by
See the world, the world just passing by
See the world, the world just passing by

Pen
03:48
|
|||
|
Chorus
Someone bring me a pen and a piece of paper
It’s the only way I know
To wipe away all the worries of this world
That are brewing in my brow
Share with me your story
Tell me what is true
Where there’s life, there’s always hope
I pledge my pen to you
Life is very precious
People are a gift
To me, it seems so obvious
To others not so clear
Chorus
Violence gets us nowhere
Silence nowhere too
Write it down in black and white
And send it on its way
Write it to the leaders
Tell the generals too
Tell them their world is not so big
We don’t know the things they do
Chorus

The Other Side
03:44
|
|||
|
When evening came, it all seemed the same
Push me on, to the other side
I don’t feel ready, the load’s real heavy
Push me on to the other side
Thought it was me, but it’s you
Carries my soul all the way through
Way from the shore, to the other side
Just as He was, He turned the tide
Changed all my plans and broke my pride
Came out of nowhere, it seemed at the time
Carried me there, to the other side
Thought it was me, but it’s you
Carries my soul all the way through
Way from the shore, to the other side

Time
04:15
|
|||
|
Time, my time is precious here with you, oooh
Time, my time is precious here with you
I want to make it clear, I want to make it clear
I think you’re really worth it, na na-na na-na
Being with you makes it all worthwhile
Oh yes, I think you’re really worth it, na na-na na-na
Knowing you means I want to shine
Chorus
Life is full of possibilities, the world is there to taste and see
When I look at all the good things
There’s a whole lot of joy in the room, the green room baby
Life, my life is precious here with you, oooh
Life, my life is precious here with you
I want to make it clear, you are so very dear
And I think you’re really worth it, na na-na na-na
Being with you makes it all worthwhile
Oh yes, I think you’re really worth it, na na-na na-na
Knowing you means I want to shine
Chorus
Time, my time is precious here with you, oooh
Time, my time is precious here with you
I want to make it clear, I want to make it clear
I think you’re really worth it, na na-na na-na
Being with you makes it all worthwhile
Oh yes, I think you’re really worth it

Melt
03:47

Ooh melt into you
Don’t know, don’t care, what’s going on out there
Outside the circle that we’ve made around this table
Ooh, so good to know
I feel, I am alive, deep inside
Inside this circle that we’ve made around this table
This, this could be
That thing they told me not to believe in
If you’re strong enough to hold me in your arms
This, this could be
No, I don’t know what to believe in
Are you strong enough to hold me in your arms
I don’t understand
Why it should take so long, to feel this way
the way it feels inside the circle round this table
This, this could be
That thing they told me not to believe in
If you’re strong enough to hold me in your arms
This, this could be
No, I don’t know what to believe in
Are you strong enough to hold me in your arms

Good For My Soul
03:31
|
|||
|
The harder the climb, the sweeter the view
The clearer the day, the further I see
The longer the walk, the better I rest
And it is good, good for my soul
The hotter the day, the cooler the sea
The longer the summer, the more welcome the rain
The thirstier I am, water tastes so sweet
And it is good, good for my soul
It’s good for my soul (good for my soul)
So good for my soul (good for my soul)
And it is good, good for my soul
Sometimes when I pray, the answer is no way
I don’t always agree (no, no, no), with what you’re saying to me
But it’s a comfort to know, you really love me so
And you are good, good for my soul
When I am weak, that’s when you are strong
When I let go, you never stop holding on
And I want you to know, I really love you so
And you are good, good for my soul
