All Of My Days
I used to think dark angels played
Night and day with my heart
I had this dark shadow skippin and tripping
The joke was always on me ha, ha
Then one crazy moment, everything has changed
The moment I found you, my planets re-arranged
You're all of my days, all of my light
All of my thrills of a Saturday night
You're all of my screams, all of my dreams
All of the secret games I play
You're all of my days
Now we're tight like snare and a bass drum
On a four to the floor beat time
I can taste some magical stardust
Every time your lips touch mine
There's something wonderful in everything we share
Together we are beautiful, I don't care if they stare
You're all of my days, all of my light
All of my thrills of a Saturday night
You're all of my screams, all of my dreams
All of my secret games I play
You're all of my days, all of my light
All of my thrills of a Saturday night
You're all of my screams, all of my dreams
All of the secret games I play
You're all of my days
Thank you for the days you blew my mind
Thank you for the days you gave me your time
Thank you for the days you showed the world you're mine
You're all of my days, all of my light
All of my thrills of a Saturday night
You're all of my screams, all of my dreams
All of the secret games I play
You're all of my days, all of my light
All of my thrills of a Saturday night
You're all of my screams, all of my dreams
All of the secret games I play
You're all of my days

Humans
Don't be fooled by what you see
We're all holograms you and me
We're hollow ghosts with a distant touch
We're isolated and it hurts so much
We don't wanna be alone so
Why, why do humans break human hearts?
And why, why do humans tear humans apart?
We think we know us but we don't know jack
We're all devious like internet hacks
We look different from day to night
We're superficial, we change the light
We don't wanna be alone so
Why, why do humans break human hearts?
And why, why do humans tear humans apart?
Why, why do humans break human hearts?
And why, why do humans tear humans apart?
None of us want to lose ourselves in the battlefields of life
So we stay home safe out of the fight
Why, why do humans break human hearts?
And why, why do humans tear humans apart?
Why, why do humans break human hearts?
And why, why do humans tear humans apart?
Why, why do humans......
Why, why do humans......

Deep River
Deep river, dance with me
As you tumble time worn rocks on to your destiny
I've seen you dance with the wicked wind that bustles up the quay
Seen you dance with the rhythmic raindrops so why, why not me
I guess you're just like everyone in my life
You don't hear a word I say
I guess you're just like everyone I've known
One day you'll quietly slip away
Deep, deep river, you're so much like time
Always passing before my eyes, yet no two moments are mine
You entertain the parasites that feed your aqua skin
You dance to nature's symphonies so why won't you dance for me
I guess you're just like everyone in my life
You don't hear a word I say
I guess you're just like everyone I've known
One day you'll quietly slip away
What can I do to make you come alive, alive?
What can I do to make you come alive?
Deep river, dance with me
As you tumble time worn rocks on to your destiny

Sweet Mama Cherry
Sweet Mama Cherry loves to give and wants nothing in return
She's 17 stone of bubbling goodness she cares for everyone
If you've got worries she'll iron those creases
If you're lost she'll find your pieces
No-one's ever sad when she's around (she's uptown cool)
She's got a big heart and a big smile
Man you gotta love her style
Such a big heart and a big smile
Some big, big love
Sweet Mama Cherry's got no time for following the fashion
Passing round the joys of life it's her only passion
If you've got worries she'll iron those creases
If you're lost she'll find your pieces
No-one's ever sad when she's around (she's uptown cool)
She's got a big heart and a big smile
Man you gotta love her style
Such a big heart and a big smile
Some big, big love
A big heart and a big smile
Man you gotta love her style
Such a big heart and a big smile

Say Goodbye
Spiraling forces we don't understand
Flow through the bodies of women and man
But as beautiful as human souls may be
One day you've got to set them free
Everybody must hurt, everybody must cry
Everybody must learn, everybody must die
Everybody must leave everybody behind
And say goodbye
Nothing is lost though, nothing disappears
Our beings change but our essence is near
Every loved one who ever walked this earth
Is still among us through a rebirth
Everybody must hurt, everybody must cry
Everybody must learn, everybody must die
Everybody must leave everybody behind
And say goodbye
Everybody must fail, everybody must fall
Everybody must push till they can't push no more
Everybody must leave everybody behind
And say goodbye
You think you choose, you have no choice
You think you form these words, that's not your voice
Everybody must fail, everybody must fall
Everybody must push till they can't push no more
Everybody must leave everybody behind
When it's their time
Everybody must hurt, everybody must cry
Everybody must learn, everybody must die
Everybody must leave everybody behind
When it's their time
Everybody must fail, everybody must fall
Everybody must push till they can't push no more
Everybody must leave everybody behind
When it's their time
Everybody must hurt, everybody must cry
Everybody must learn, everybody must die
Everybody must leave everybody behind
And say goodbye

She's Moving On
She's carrying too much baggage, can feel it in her bones
Gotta get away from here it's not her home
She needs a remedy to take away her pain
Need's a shot to the heart to warm her veins
She's moving on
Moving on
She's full of bitterness, can hear it when she speaks
Can't hold this anger in she's much to weak
Looking for an alibi so she don't have to tell you why
She won't be here when you get home tonight
She's moving on
Moving on
She hope's you get this letter and believe her when she says
Sorry she can't stay another day
It was so good but nothing stays the same
If it wasn't today it would be another day
Some day
Moving on
She's moving on

We Won't Be Denied
Like a rock holds back the tide, we won't be denied
Each one of us is born of steel, we won't be denied
We won't falter we won't stall
We won't bow down to anyone at all
Show me a river I will, show you a sea
Tell me your dreams I'll tell you, your destiny
But how will you know it's time for, your destiny calling?
You'll hear a mermaid scream from the bottom of the sea of dreams
Oh oh oh oh oh
We will live a courageous life, we won't be denied
Patience kindness love and pride, we won't be denied
We won't falter we won't stall
We won't bow down to anyone at all
Show me a river I will, show you a sea
Tell me your dreams I'll tell you, your destiny
But how will you know it's time for your destiny calling?
You'll hear a mermaid scream from the bottom of the sea of dreams
Oh oh oh oh oh
From St. Ives up to Tyneside, we won't be denied
Merseyside to East Kilbride, we won't be denied
From St. Ives up to Tyneside, we won't be denied
Merseyside to East Kilbride, we won't be denied
One day you'll swim in the ocean, one day you'll follow your dreams
One day you'll hear the scream of the mermaid in the sea of dreams
One day you'll swim in the ocean, one day you'll follow your dreams
One day you'll hear the scream of the mermaid in the sea of.....
One day you'll swim in the ocean, one day you'll follow your dreams
One day you'll hear the scream of the mermaid in the sea of dreams
One day you'll swim in the ocean, one day you'll follow your dreams
One day you'll hear the scream of the mermaid in the sea of.....
Mermaid in the sea of dreams

Sunrise
Through a glorious sunrise, I get to watch you sleep
Half light and half darkness, I wonder what your dreams keep
You're beautiful, sleeping as the day begins
You're beautiful, as the new born sun lights up your skin
There's always one window open, to taste the beads of fresh air
I love the thought that nature soothes your lungs and plays with your hair
You're beautiful, sleeping as the day begins
You're beautiful, as the new born sun lights up your skin
How did I get to be, the one that watches you tick
If this be my grave I'm happy, come cover me quick
You're beautiful, just sleeping as the day begins
You're beautiful, as the new born sun lights up your skin

Wake Up World
We live in times of change
But are we changing for the better?
Or amusing ourselves to a quicker death
For all our new found technology
We're no closer to curing greed
What about starvation and poverty?
Wake up world stop yawning
Make this your brightest morning
World unite for a better way
Wake up world stop yawning
I believe the truth is dawning
World stand up for a better day
Its man made products
That chokes this planet Earth
Each Human egg is infected with selfishness at birth
We still eat animals
As though we're blind to their love
Discriminate the colour of skin or the body we were born within
Wake up world stop yawning
Make this your brightest morning
World unite for a better way
Wake up world stop yawning
I believe the truth is dawning
World stand up for a better way

Two sides
5: The Phoenix from the Flames
7: Different Man (My Private Hell)
(click on the song title for lyrics to that song)
My Family
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
My Auntie Maude is an alcoholic
Uncle Claude wears polka dot pink pants
Cousin Jim's a myrmecologist
With a refuge for beaten up ants
Sister Jill can't stop popping pills
Brother Bill, he speaks to the dead
His best friend's a headless executioner
Who levitates over his bed
They're crazy, but hey
Crazy gets you through the day
Oh well we're the family from hell
But I love my family its true
We stick together in the stormy weather
Aint that what families do
I love my family, my family I do
Mum and Dad refuse to deny
That I was swapped at the hospital bed at birth
I look like my dad's best friend
Who runs the golf club down at Wentworth
So I live in hope that maybe I'm adopted
Or maybe my Mum had strayed
It would draw a line under this question
Why I'm the only one who's sane?
They're crazy, but hey
Crazy gets you through the day
Oh well we're the family from hell
But I love my family its true
We stick together in the stormy weather
Aint that what families do
Oh well we're the family from hell
But I love my family its true
We stick together in the stormy weather
Aint that what families do
I love my family, my family I do
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh well aint we the family from hell
But I love my family, my family its true
Oh well we're the family from hell
But I love my family its true
We stick together in the stormy weather
Aint that what families do
Oh well we're the family from hell
But I love my family its true
We stick together in the stormy weather
Aint that what families do
I love my family, I love my family, I love my family, my family I do

Fly Away
Our burning sky will blister and die
Armageddon no doubt
To find a way to alien skies
Is our only way out
To fly away, fly, fly away
Fly away, away
Landscapes change into silicone towns
We’re turn this nightmare around
We’ll surf on the wave of this brave new world
We aint gonna drown
Fly away (and leave planet Earth)
Fly, fly away (and walk with the Gods)
Fly away (in the sky) away
It might take 8 million years
To be new planetary pioneers
But a moment of inspiration
Will be all we need to unlock the door
Humankind will always climb
To reach unreachable dreams
As every new child is conceived
Will be born with the wonder gene
To find a way to alien skies
Is our only way out (as we fly)
Fly away (and leave planet Earth)
Fly, fly away (and walk with the Gods)
Fly away (in the sky) away (as we fly away)
Landscapes change into silicone towns
We’re turn this nightmare around
We’ll surf on the wave of this brave new world
We aint gonna drown
Fly away (and leave planet Earth)
Fly, fly away (and walk with the Gods)
Fly away (in the sky) away (as we fly away)
It might take 8 million years
To be new planetary pioneers
But a moment of inspiration
Will be all we need to unlock the door

Lovecat
Girl you want, girl you want, girl you want girl sex
Boy you want, boy you want, boy you want boy sex
Woman wants a man; man wants women to hold someone
You won't stop the ultimate feeling,
As you loose control and reach for the ceiling
A galaxy of stars comes through your head
Cause you're a lovecat, go make out in your love shack
Feel that skin on skin
You're a lovecat, go rock out in your love shack
Sex aint no sin
La la la la, la la la la, go go lovecat, go go lovecat
La la la la, la la la la, go go lovecat, go go lovecat
Get your boy, get your girl
Whatever makes you crazy, get your fill
Call them over to stay the night, just have some fun
You won't stop the ultimate feeling
As you loose control and reach for the ceiling
Galaxies of stars are in your head
Cause you're a lovecat, go make out in your love shack
Feel that skin on skin
You're a lovecat, go rock out in your love shack
Sex aint no sin
You're a lovecat, make out in your love shack
Feel that skin on skin
You're a lovecat, rock out in your love shack
Sex aint no sin
La la la la, la la la la, go go lovecat, go go lovecat
La la la la, la la la la, go go lovecat, go go lovecat
Go do what you do when you do what you do, when you do your lovecat thing
Yeah do what you do when you do what you do, when you do your lovecat thing
Cause you're a lovecat, go make out in your love shack, feel that skin on skin
(you can't stop the ultimate feeling when you loose control, reach for the ceiling)
You're a lovecat, go make out in your love shack, sex aint no sin
(There's a galaxy of stars bursting through your head)
You're a lovecat, go make out in your love shack, feel that skin on skin
(you can't stop the ultimate feeling when you loose control, reach for the ceiling)
You're a lovecat, so rock out in your love shack, rock out in your loves shack, rock out in your love shack
(There's a galaxy of stars bursting through your head) Lovecat

Kissed her Twice
My life changed one Friday afternoon
When me and Sadie skipped school for the scrap yard
We’re in the back of a broken Ford saloon
Two teenage tearaways in a playground of steel and dust
She told me how she felt about me amongst broken headlights and rust
So I kissed her once cause she asked me to
I kissed her twice because I wanted to
And suddenly, suddenly I'm in love
I'm in love
We tumbled onto the wasteland, me and my new queen
Were two film stars playing out our hearts
Julie Harris and I was James Dean
I made her a royal throne out of broken sticks and stones
She told me how she felt about me amongst green gin bottles and bones
So I kissed her once cause she asked me to
I kissed her twice because I wanted to
And suddenly, suddenly I'm in love
I'm in love
I never dreamt she could touch my soul
I didn't know that I had this hole
It’s like everything I'd ever lost
Came flooding back when our hearts crossed
So I kissed her once cause she asked me to
I kissed her twice because I wanted to
And suddenly, suddenly I'm in love
I kissed her three times cause twice was nice
Four, five, six, I’m in paradise
And suddenly, suddenly I'm in love
I'm in love

The Phoenix from the Flames
Maybelline's back in black, the funeral is done
She's buried her own Roger Moore
He was a saint among sinners, a gentleman a winner
Now he's 6 feet under a church dirt floor
Her hands shook as she took her book of memories
And trembled with every turning page
How could he leave her to suffer alone
She threw the books away in a rage
Till death do us part we will keep each other's hearts
But when one is broken we'll have to start
To rise out of ashes and burst out of flames
Like the Phoenix from the flames
Like the Phoenix from the flames
Maybelline stormed outside as a bolt of lightening strikes
Her car keys dripping are acid rain
She drove to the nearest petrol filling station
Pulled out the gasoline arm and took aim
She pointed it up to the heavens above
And screamed out long, long and loud
As she pulled the trigger she struck a match
Said "tonight, I'm going to the clouds!"
Till death do us part we will keep each other's hearts
But once one is broken we'll have to start
To rise out of ashes and burst out of flames
Like the Phoenix from the flames
Like the Phoenix from the flames
"Let it rain, gasoline, let it rain
I'll be that Phoenix from the flames
Let it rain, gasoline, let it rain
I'll be that Phoenix from the flames"
It was like a supernova as Maybelline rose over the city
And washed away her pain, let it rain, let it rain
A supernova as Maybelline rose over the city
Washed away her pain, let it rain, let it rain
"Let it rain, gasoline, let it rain
I'll be that Phoenix from the flames
Let it rain, gasoline, let it rain
I'll be that Phoenix from the flames
Let it rain, gasoline, let it rain
I'll be that Phoenix from the flames"

Raw
I thought we, were complete
But it was just a temporary feat
You took life from my lungs
Pulled the plug as our show begun
I’ve never felt pain, pain like this
Before, I’m raw
I’ve never felt pain, pain like this
I’m raw, I’m raw
I’ve never felt pain, pain like this
Before, I’m raw
I’ve never felt pain, pain like this
I’m raw
Love and war aint no surprise
You told me it was over with dry blue eyes
I hit back, a stupid attack
Beaten and bloodied with no way back
I’ve never felt pain, pain like this
Before, I’m raw
I’ve never felt pain, pain like this
I’m raw, I’m raw
I’ve never felt pain, pain like this
Before, I’m raw
I’ve never felt pain, pain like this
I’m raw

Different Man (My Private Hell)
I became your perfect 10 beneath the sheets
You said I was your soul mate and made you complete
I became the rock you wanted me to be
Now you’re gone, where does that leave me?
I don’t know who I am anymore
I see a shattered photograph of you on the floor
And you left me lonely
Living within your empty shell
You left me lonely
All alone inside my private hell
You polished me like your favourite golden chain
You said that I turned you on like your pink Champagne
You paraded me around upon your arm
How could I not see your caustic charm?
I don’t know who I am anymore
I see a shattered photograph of you on the floor
And you left me lonely
Living within your empty shell
You left me lonely
All alone inside my private hell
You left me lonely
Living inside your private shell
You left me lonely
Living inside my private
You left me lonely
Living inside your empty shell
You left me lonely
Living inside my private hell

Isolation
My phone's full of friends, I never see
People who would never miss me
Days of speed, I'm standing still
Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram
Are just a trillion avatars who don't know who I am
Days of speed, I'm standing still
All I need is a Human touch, someone to hold
Someone to fall into as I get old
All I need is a Human hand to touch my face
Tell me they understand as we, we embrace
Isolation, isolation, isolation
This world looks so small, when it's an atlas at your feet
But space is for someone else I will never meet
Days, days of speed, just stand still
All I need is a Human touch, someone to hold
Someone to fall into as I get old
All I need is a Human hand to touch my face
Tell me they understand as we, we embrace
Isolation, isolation, isolation

Tumbling Down
I know you feel there's nothing left in your life
And nothing you can say or do will ever put this right
You're tumbling down
You’re tumbling down
Well I'll be there the read the signs when your words can't explain
I’ll be there to help you find the smile that hides your pain
You're tumbling down
Tumbling down
Like tear drops from a child’s eyes
I'll be by your side
Think of me as your life support
I'll help you breathe
I will chase the shadows that darken your dreams
My arms will hold you so secure
I know right now that every day fades into black
Together we will find a way to bring your colours back
You're tumbling down
Tumbling down
Like tear drops, like tear drops, like tear drops
From a child’s eyes
Think of me as your life support
I'll help you breathe
I will chase the shadows that darken your dreams
My arms will hold you, you so secure
When you’re tumbling down
Tumbling down
Like tear drops
From a child’s eyes
I'll be by your side
