ILLUSION 05:04

ILLUSION It’s been a long time since the day before last It’s been a while since the dye’s been cast I can see confusion, streaking ‘cross my mind It’s been forever since love has reigned When will time come when peace is gained? That’s an illusion That’s an illusion That’s an illusion Taken for a ride, that’s my plan Taken for a ride, that’s how I am I don’t know, I don’t know why I don’t know, I don’t know why Why do I lie? I don’t know, I don’t know why I don’t know, I don’t know why Why do I lie? The day will come when war has breathed its last I hope with all I got the end comes fast Life is a contusion, with pain and confusion Does the light of day forever shine bright? Not with the yes sold as truth gripped tight That’s an illusion That’s an illusion That’s an illusion Chorus: I sell my lie as there is no other way Believe my lie, it’s all I have to say I can see confusion, burning like a flame No-one helps the fallen to their feet Life is a speed trap up a one way street That’s no illusion That’s no illusion That’s no illusion Chorus:

HIT & RUN Goodbye, Goodbye blue Goodbye, Goodbye blue I called you up in the midnight hour Time was running out Barry White was on the radio I never had a doubt When you said you belonged to me I thought what’s this about I heard the sound of wanting me The sound of midnight fun A cool night wind blew the trees Waiting for the morning sun I can’t stand this game you play The game that just takes one It’s just another hit and run You got good looks With big baby blue eyes I don’t need looks I need a heart that never lies You got that thing that gets me every time A special kind of some thing on my mind Goodbye, Goodbye blue Goodbye, Goodbye blue The time has come to go your way I’ll go out on mine Let the message sink like stone Let it taste like wine You can’t know the joy I’m in I am feeling fine It’s just another hit and run Repeat chorus twice

“KISSING THE WALRUS” I know I should be going, I know I should be free Kissing the walrus to a beat Missing the point of defeat. Wouldn’t it be something, wouldn’t it be grand Breaking in the song of me Looking out to be free I..............,I......... .....,I.............. Wanna know I..............,I...............,I.............. Wanna know Do you like indigo summers? Wintry rains in a storm Cries of innocent wailing Do you seek a war free morn? Are you hip to loving night-time? Summertime on the beach Freedom that shouts from the rooftops Listen to the words I beseech. I feel that time has risen, I feel that time has come Cracking down on forced rhyme I am a poet at his prime Born to melt the face of sorrow Born to crave the love of time I am what I am to the ages Holding on to what’s mine I..............,I...............,I.............. wanna know I..............,I...............,I.............. wanna know Chorus:

(YOU'RE) ALWAYS ON MY MIND 03:15
lyrics
buy track
(YOU'RE) ALWAYS ON MY MIND My life has always been alone, with no-one to share my lonely home, with you near me, always a kiss away. I dream about you all night long, and Christmas has both come and gone. I'm a million crazy words with nothing' to say. You're always on my mind. - Mind. Always on my mind. You're always on my mind. Time could see you loving' me, kissing' away my misery or is that only a sad and crazy dream of mine? I know I'm not no movie star or a tall handsome man in some fancy car, or Rudolph Valentino with a glass of wine. but you're always on my mind. Do you ever see in me what Jesus see's? Could it be my philosophy of love, art and poetry? chorus I sing alone all by myself with laughter and love upon the shelf waitin' for some-one to wash away the pain. And I pray to the Lord most everynight for some-one to share my lonely nights, but all I ever get is a pocket of rain. repeat chorus twice:

lyrics

“I WANNA PARTY (AT THE PLAYBOY MANSION)” I want to party at the playboy mansion And call to my mind that day And Hef will say go ahead and take her I wanna live that way. I wanna party at the playboy mansion And they’ll never hear me say I wanna leave the playboy mansion No, I gotta live that way. I’d say Hi to Barbi, Hi to the naked Hi to the rhythm of the night, When I party at the playboy mansion I would die a happy man. I wanna live at the playboy mansion And never ever go away And there’s no joy I’d rather employ Than to live my life that way. I wanna party at the playboy mansion And shake my happy all night long Bring to the party a crazy joy I wanna be that way What’s a man for if he can’t aim high? What’s a man for if he can’t aim high? What’s a man for if he can’t aim high above you?

00 DANGER 04:50
lyrics
buy track
“OO DANGER” The gun you hold on me is heaven The man you are scare’s me Brought to your knees by a distant stranger You stand tall over me. He sees trouble ‘round every corner With every shot his life could end But he’s gonna make it He has a trigger finger mind set for you He loves only you But don’t expect a forever kind of thing He’s had that before But don’t ask, he still feels the sting. He has for his credo a number And has no trouble in the end He’ll end your days Faster than it takes him to move on. Double o danger Double o danger. The song of pain rages on and on Aim for the broken heart and I’m gone Give me a drink and a way to play And love and the time to never say And kill the day......And kill the day The possibility is endless The smell of death is near He can hold his own with any man But love can bring him down silence is broken By the sound of the smoking gun By the flow of blood and wine Don’t gamble on your life line Double o danger Trust no stranger Just call double o danger

NEVER SAID GOODBYE 06:18
lyrics
buy track
NEVER SAID GOODBYE There’s a girl I know and she’s crying There’s a girl I know and she’s crying Never to say goodbye. No-one can tell her why. But where did you go and where have you been? And why aren’t you here to be loved, to be seen? And why do I grieve and why do I cry? Because you’re gone and never said goodbye. You walk in the dew of time Leaving sadness to all left behind But I know there’s a light shining through Burning bright in the memory of you. So how can I go on and how am I to be? Free of the grief that consumes the pain in me But when will we next meet, when can I rely You left me to mourn and never said goodbye. You speak from beyond the wind Of a love that’s never sinned But I see in the depths of my dreams That life’s not as long as it seems. Are you safe and are you sound Are you lost or are you found Tell me true, tell me why You went away with no goodbye. Do you hear me when I cry? Do you hear me when I cry? Will I ever be whole and will I ever know Where you’ve been dancing in the snow white snow? What must I endure each dark, dark black night? Since you went away and never said goodbye. You’re time has come and gone You live in a brand new dawn I won’t despair nor ask why But this song is my very last goodbye. There’s a girl I know and she’s crying.

IRON BIRD 04:08
lyrics
buy track
“IRON BIRD” I would do anything For the smile of you I’d crawl through a lake of fire If you want me too I would cry a river And drown in my own tears I’d eat my own liver To conquer all my fears I would sing to you a love song Hanging from a tree I’d swim an ocean for one kiss That I’d like to see I would kiss the flames of hell For the touch of your lips I’d sleep in a pit of snakes For one more hour of bliss I’ll do most all you say to do, for that I give you my word But I don’t do the iron bird. I’ll stick a hand on a live wire to satisfy your world’s desire But I don’t do the iron bird. I’d sit on red hot coals and walk through shattered glass I’d stand in a pit of smells to lie with you on the grass And I’d lose a favoured limb to the jaws of jaws I’d break my back in two just to know the love of you But I don’t do that iron bird.

NOT MY IDEA 03:02
lyrics

“NOT MY IDEA” It’s not my idea to spend time alone It’s not my idea to cry It’s not my idea to spend time alone Every time we say good-bye. It’s not my idea to spend time apart It’s not my idea it’s a crime It’s not my idea to spend time apart Every time we say good-bye. I can’t tell you where I’m going to I can’t say what I’m going through There’s no thing I would rather do Than to be with you. Time is like a song woven out of life I can’t feel the light shining in the night It’s not my idea to fly But I’ll try. Caught like the wisdom in the wisdom of the ages Caught like the wisdom in the wisdom of the age Caught like the wisdom in the wisdom of the ages

“WHAT I KNOW” I know what I know I know, what I know I know what I know (repeat chorus) I know the word is out I know there’s no doubt Caught in a stormy cloud The smell is good and loud. I know what it’s about. (chorus) I see one last kiss I see I’m wanting this I can’t see far ahead Did you hear what I said Let’s talk it over in bed (chorus) I’ll be the man I can And not the man I am Speaking of hyperbole That sounds good to me That’s the man I’ll be (chorus)

BALLAD OF DARK DAYS 02:58

“BALLAD OF DARK DAYS” Could he be the innocent some say he is? I don’t think so. Could he do what the law said he’d done? They say the law don’t lie If not, then why? Lose the key Lose the key The boy was found in the scrub all called for blame Why should he die? He was dead but we all heard the scream Then we all cried The nation died Lose the key Lose the key I can’t conceive another time when we all believed In one man’s crime What could make a man that depraved Is he insane And not to blame Lose the key Lose the key His mother died and lies alone in an unmarked grave His crime still lingers He’s etched in our minds a dark memory That we can’t forget The tears we’ve shed Lose the key Lose the key

“A DADDY’S LOVE” I got to hold him so tight But now I lay here and stare ‘coz he’s no longer there. Now he is gone I have nothing to find The room is dark and it’s like I’m blind I creep in your bed in the dark of night No son, no life, no light No son, no life, no light. How can I be strong, how can I move on My life with him has shut down How can I make it through when I’m a mess without you I’m so glad you were mine. Are you with me at this hard time Precious baby boy I’m glad your mine Don’t leave me to grieve and wonder why No son, no life, no light No son, no life, no light I lay here at night and think about Brae What can I do, what can I say He touched my heart in so many ways But I gotta be strong
