The Point Of No Return
Just take a look out there
a world that we all know
It's disaster now
and no-one seems to care
We truly want a change
but no-one wants to change
We like to 'do our bit'
and get on with our lives
The point of no return
the world could crash and burn
but nature can survive
if we keep her alive
Now
Now
The point of no return
Is it too late to learn
some say yes and some say no
we must decide which way to go
We want technology
not our own activity
to come and save us all
and clean up our pollution
The point of no return
the world could crash and burn
but nature can survive
if we keep her alive
Now
Now
We need to act right now
each and every one of us
and take the next big step
for future generations.
The point of no return
we really have to learn
there is no time to spare
our earth depends on us.
The point of no return

She Said Yes!

"She Said Yes" - April 2019
Well I like to make up rhymes
I do it all the time
And this one's for you.
And I'm going to sing it now
and make it loud and proud
because I like you.
You're such a pretty thing
Just like a diamond ring
I don't want to lose.
I see you all the time
You're always on my mind
I can't ignore you.
Well I might call over right now
[might call over, when will you be mine?]
and ask you right up front
When will you be mine?
And I hope you'll tell me straight
[hope you'll tell me and that you'll see me]
that I'm not too late
and that you'll see me
You're such a pretty thing
I'll give you everything
There's no time to lose
I see you all the time
You're always on my mind
I can't ignore you
So I'll wander over to you
to see what you would do
and just say 'how'd you do'
No, I'll wait until it gets late
and then I'll bring my mate
and we'll ask her friend along too!
Hey, it didn't go well today
[It didn't go well so this time I'll call you]
So I'll try again Tuesday
and this time I'll call you
[This time I'll call you]
So we'll drop your cheeky mate
[Drop your cheeky mate out of the blue]
When I asked you for a date
Out of the blue
You're such a pretty thing
Just like a diamond ring
I don't want to lose.
I see you all the time
You're always on my mind
I can't ignore you.
Just say Yes, Yes ....
She said Yes!

I've Forgotten Something Else! - June 2018
I think there's something wrong
I don't know what it is
I've had it for a long time
I don't remember things
My mind goes round and round
A really bad feeling
I don't get it
I don't want it
It's like I'm going round the bend
You agree!
Hey!
I don't wanna let it show
Don't want to let you know
But then I need to tell you
Hey!
I've forgotten something else
Not sure just what it is
I'll remember in a while
I don't have sense of time
And always the wrong place
I'm constantly reminded
I forget my keys and things
And who I've got to ring
And even where I'm driving
No answer
What question?
It's like I've got no common sense
You agree!
Hey!
I don't wanna let it show
Don't want to let you know
But then I need to tell you
Hey!
I've forgotten something else
Not sure just what it is
I'll remember in a while.
Dum diddy dum dum dum ...
Hey!
I don't wanna let it show
Don't want to let you know
But then I need to tell you
Hey!
I've forgotten something else
Not sure just what it is
I'll remember in a while.
Hey!

She Burned Me Down

She Burned Me Down
I had a dream, it made me think twice,
About a girl who wasn't very nice
She stole my keys and my wallet
And then the house and everything in it
She burned me down.
The day came, I didn't plan it
I just thought that enough was enough
And left the girl that wasn't very nice to me.
She burned me down
A broken dream
We couldn't go on
It wasn't meant to be
So, in my dream we started so right
We got so drunk that very night
Oh how we laughed and how we partied
The best of times, I'm broken hearted
She burned me down.
The day came, I didn't plan it
I just thought that enough was enough
And left the girl that wasn't very nice to me.
{She really burned me down.}
{She really burned me down.}
{She really burned me down.}
{She really burned me down.}
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down
She really burned me down.
The day came, I didn't plan it
I grabbed the hog and I rode out of town
No looking back, no regrets, it's time to be free.
{She really burned me down.}
{She really burned me down.}
{She really burned me down.}
{She really burned me down.}
[Lead break].
To freedom!
[Wakes up ...]
What a dream!
Was it a dream?

~~~ It's Up To Us ~~~
I have no problems
I have no nagging doubts
I have no anger
Although I scream and shout
I have no enemies
No animosity
I think about freedom
And what its meant to be
I see the danger
if we can't unite as one
We fall apart and freedom has gone
I see the danger
when the lost are lead by a few
with cold hearts
and one point of view
It's up to us
All of us!
I've no illusions.
it's plain to see
It's not about religion
It's about you and me
It's a long road
we just have to take
respect for all cultures
resolves fear and hate
I see the danger
if we can't unite as one
We fall apart and freedom has gone
I see the danger
if we can't unite as one
We fall apart and freedom has gone
It's up to us
All of us!
It's Up To Us ...
I see the danger
if we can't unite as one
We fall apart and freedom has gone
I see the danger
when the lost are lead by a few
with cold hearts
and one point of view
It's up to us
All of us!
I see the danger
if we can't unite as one
We fall apart and freedom has gone
I see the danger
when the lost are lead by a few
with cold hearts
and one point of view
It's up to us
All of us!
I see the danger
if we can't unite as one
We fall apart and freedom has gone
I see the danger
if we can't unite as one
We fall apart and freedom has gone
It's up to us
All of us!
It's up to us!

I Don't Want To Go!

I Don't Want To Go:
The wind is blowing strongly and it's pulling at my hair
A 'thing' has appeared in front of me and I can only stare
"What manner of beast is this"? I ask my self aloud
"To be able to materialize in a swirling brimstone cloud"?
The wind is blowing stronger and the 'thing' is coming near
As I gaze upon it's face, I realise my worst fear
The 'thing' has come to collect a debt that I owed it years ago
A promise is a promise - but I really don't want to go!
The 'thing' is now upon me and holding out it's hand.
For many years I prospered in this mortal land.
But now the time has come around and I've always understood.
There's no escaping mortality and hiding will do no good!
I don't want to go!

It's All About You! - Feb 2018:
(V)
Well I don't know what to do,
'cause I really don't trust you.
Our leaders don't have time,
Are you gonna walk the line?
(V)
Where's all the money gone?
And where did it all go wrong?
The cuts that don't make sense
Have left us in a mess.
(P-C)
As I lie here thinking...
My respect is sinking...
Why do you let us down?
(MAIN)
(V)
So I know you think it's ok,
And I know you say we're fine,
But you're running out of fight,
And we're running out of time.
(V)
And I know we voted you in,
But you had a secret plan,
And the more you promise change
The more things stay the same
(P-C)
As I lie here thinking...
My respect is sinking...
Why do you let us down?
(V)
Yet for all your privileged life
You still take all you can
There's no honour in your ways
And the system doesn't change
(V)
When I see you on TV
All your words they flow so well
But the truth is hard to find!
So you can go to hell!
(P-C)
As I lie here thinking...
My respect is sinking...
Oh! Why do you let us down?
(LEAD BREAK)
(V)
You decide what's good for us
From the safety of your tower
Your words affect us all
But you're blinded by the power
(V)
Well I know you-don't-think about us
And you never-take-the-blame
What about us?
Ohh!
It's not about us!
(V)
All your sordid words and deeds
Yet we are jailed for less
No judgement or control
You're such a moral mess.
(V)
So you send us off to war
to fight people we don't know
Some just don't come back
Yet your kind never go!
(P-C)
As I lie here thinking...
My respect is sinking...
Why do you let us down?
It's all about you!!

I'll Be Right There!

I'll Be Right There!
"There you go" I said.
"Don't you know why I'm
always standing in your shadow"?
Then I find that we're going nowhere
but I don't mind as long as I'm here with you.
Say you love me
Tell me that you really care
and I'll be right there.
Say you want me
Tell me that I'm the only one
and I will understand
Then I'll know.
Don't you tell me that you
never say the truth
I don't know where I'm going
Then I try to find
just some piece of mind
I don't know what you're saying

I Don't Mind!
03:22
|

I Don't Mind:
I don't mind if you ignore me
I don't mind if you're way too cool
All I ask is that you'll take care of me
and stay with me when things go wrong.
The smallest things can mean so much to me
Like how I yearn for your touch
So many things that you bring to me
I just love you so much.
Hold me, move me, kiss me like you'll lose control
Squeeze me, tease me, promise that you'll never leave me
I don't mind when you say you love me
I don't mind when you say nice things
All I ask is that you stay kind to me
and give me space to be myself
The smallest things can mean so much to me
Like how I yearn for your touch
So many things that you bring to me
I just love you so much.

Promises:
I'm so tired of all your promises
and all the lies I've heard for so long.
Now it's time to change the situation
and live my life for me and me alone.
I seem to spend all my days
waiting around for you
You never call or turn up on time
You always let me down, I make excuses for you
I have to say you're no longer on my mind.
I really trusted you
I know you want me to.
But I know just what went wrong
So wrong ....
... I don't need your ...
You can keep your promises
Promises ....
I don't need your promises
I'm better left alone
Promises
Promises
I don't need your promises
I'm better on my own.
You can keep your promises.

Promises: ©2010
I'm so tired of all your promises
and all the lies I've heard for so long
Now it's time to change this situation
and live my life for me and me alone
Promises, your Promises, where do you get them from
Promises, your Promises, mean nothing to me
Promises, your Promises, I don't believe a word you say
Promises, your Promises.
I seem to spend all my days
waiting around for you
You never call or turn up on time
You always let me down, I make excuses for you
I have to say you're no longer on my mind.

Promises, your Promises, mean nothing to me
Promises, your Promises, I don't believe a word you say

You can keep your promises.

Demon Lover:
Demon lover you're everywhere
I can't get you off my mind
I'm thinking about you all the time
and I think I'm going blind
What're you (are you) doing to me?
I can hardly see
but I've made up my mind
that I want you
and need you for all time
I've gotta get a message to you
wherever you are
gotta get a message to you
no matter how far
gotta get a message to you
'cause you're so far away
Demon lover ...
I just wanted to say
that I love you
and I want you ...
