Shooting Myself
06:02
|
|||
Well I'm failing apart without you
I'm falling apart at the seems
Well I go crazy when I'm not with you
I'm shooting myself in my dreams
Cos' I'm not a stable man
If I'm shooting myself in my dreams
Well you can tell everyone who's waiting
I'll soon be on my way
I gotta tie up these loose ends and finish
but I'd sooner leave today
cos' I'm not a stable man
just listen to what I say
I'm gonna tell you a story
a beauitul story of love
I gave my girl an image
as perfect as heaven above
but I' spoke to soon and wrecked it
not I'm just missunderstood
Well now we all have something we're guitly of
something from our past
I'm not a saint nomatter what I show you
I don't really ever grasp
cos' I'm not a stable man
don't think I was built to last
You can almost see the scars
where I cut a hole in my chest
tried to let my body breathe
exorcise the demons at rest
cos' they're eating me from in my woul
when your face shows no interest
Now I'm floating on without you
floating down rivers and streams
but when the water turns from blue to red
a nightmare is what it seams
cos' I'm not a stable man
if I'm shooting myself in my dreams

Framed For Glory
04:44
|
|||
Down the darkened hall
past my picture on the night-stand
framed for glory
even got the key to this old land
Ain't no dream when you're letting go
no this ain't no dream of mine
no dreams of mine
Chorus:
But it's not easy
when you're growing older
ain't got time left on your side
It's not easy
when you're going nowhere
ain't got ties left hard to bind
And all the times are deceiving you
and your memories are just leaving you
and it's time, oh it's time
Down the stairs, stand on the porch
stare on my escape
a 1340 red with flames
even got my own private plate
But it ain't no dream when you're letting go
no, this ain't no dreams of mine
no dreams of mine
(Chorus)
It ain't no dreams when you're letting go
no this ain't no dreams of mine
no dreams of mine

I got a sixty nine shovel
got a suped up Coupe de Ville
I got a sixy nine shovel
got a suped up Coupe de Ville
I got all things around me
but I just couldn't buy my thrill
Well the moons on the rise baby
sun's setting over the hill
The moon's on the rise
the sun's setting over the hill
I got all these things around me
but I just couldn't buy my thrill
Chorus:
Cos' if the sex don't feel right
now anymore
I'm in the doghouse every night
sleeping on the floor
Well if the sex don't feel right
then baby what are you for?
Well you're sitting over there baby
looking like you don't care
Oh you're sitting over there baby
looking like you don't care
Come on over baby
just try to show me life can be fair
Well I'm holding out for change
waiting for my time to come
I'm holding out for change
baby waiting for my time to come
Say something soon
or I might just pick up and run
(Chorus)

I take the blue line baby
cross the bridge to freedom town
the sun is shining
leave a memory of when I was down
But will anyone notice where this man has gone
do I really care cos' I know their light has shone
I stayed up all night
drinking out a bottle of soap
hanging out the window
on a ten year old blue frayed rope
and if I fall down to the ground
there I'll meet the devil and make a better sound
Now these blue days fade
I'm on the train of hope
a trip on Intercity
with my ticket in an envelope
And if I find that times are never the same
I'll just come home, on the freedom train
Well I'm coming to you baby
I'm coming to the dream
a trip on Intercity
wishing on strawberries and cream
And if I find that times are never the same
I'll just come home, on the freedom train
And if I find that times are never the same
I'll just come home, on that freedom train

Fabric Of Time
06:22
|
|||
Don't reach down
don't look round
the fire burns
tables turned
And I can fall
for you more
and each breathe that I draw
just brings me down
And in the fabric of time
stares a lonely face
I'm moving closer to the fire
don't know what it is that I will face
but I will learn
sooner or later
For there are times
when even the cry of the wind
rolling by
can't find a voice to sing
And in the fabric of time
stares a lonely face
I'm moving closer to the fire
don't know what it is that I will face
but I will learn
sooner or later

WAR
03:22
|
|||
Watch your castle burn
wait thile tables turn
proud Mary
nothing left to learn
Horses charge into the war
the Friar preaches to the poor
come rain
I will be no more
And I saw an angel cry
it was nothing more than the light
streaming dreams before my eyes
And nothing but the world gone wrong
hang your dreams in paintings
for soon they will be gone
And the storm
will rage again the walls
thunder, like the voice beyond calls
lightening, come down
I rage as the torent falls
And I saw an angel cry
it was nothing more than the light
streaming dreams before my eyes
And nothing but the world gone wrong
Hang your dreams in paintings
for soon they will be gone

Home
02:21
|
|||
They're fading out the faces
soon cards are gonna replace us
there's nowhere to go
except dark and lonely places
I'm heading out on the fourth
some place up north
get me to the boarder
then know-one gonna chase me home
Chorus:
Home is where the heart is
leaving all the solace
and the left-handed artwork
depicting Poca Hontis
It was I who shot dead the moon
blame it on the Zepelin bloon
lighting up the hostory books
something wrong with the wiring loom
I forgot to notice
countdown before explosive
get me to the shelter
then know-one gonna chase me home
(Chorus)
Smoking at the red light
it was I who shot dead the night
something to remember
salute when you're facing right
Soldier on parade
just waiting to invade
has the cat got your tongue
or will you follow him all the way down
(Chorus)
Home is where the heart is
leaving all the solace
and the left-handed artwork
depicting Poco Huntis
Can't find the screwball
looking for a knew fool
don't believe the stories
just a bunch of Jack O'nories

Doghouse
03:44
|
|||
Well I've been down the railroad
a thousand times before
I've been down the railroad
a thousand times before
I've been shot at, I've been kicked at
I've been left for dead on the floor
Well I went down Big Red
and I got myself a beer
I went down Big Red
and I got myself a beer
When a voice so sweet
came and whispered in my ear
She said....
Chorus:
You're in the doghouse baby
got three strings on your guitar
You're in the doghouse baby
got three strings on your guitar
When you're down and out
know-one gives a fuck
who the hell you are
Well they locked me up
but my jailhouse bail was paid
Said they locked me up
but my jailhouse bail was paid
For ten years or more
the love of a good woman is all I craved
Yeah I got a bitch on the loose
she just wont toe the line
I got a bitch on the loose
she just wont toe the line
She treats me line shit
but at least that bitch is mine
(Chorus)

I wake up in the day and I wonder whats coming
when the sun passes shaddows beyond
take it all for granted
Enjoy where you're sleeping
cos' you know it wont last long
Climb the steps up to the place where people say
this is where we should be seen, but glory comes easy
you don't believe me, you just think you know where i've been
Separate time from the clocks that I'm watching
regardless of here or now
sometimes we're dreamers
other times bleeders
just waiting for the artist to bow
More tears are flowing that smiles are showing
everyday comes at a price
when the fur feels much better than skin on black leather
but it sure feels as cold as the ice
What new hell, pressure on the egg shell
as still as the shaddow, with blood in my eyes
Press play and witness what the world is going to give you
before you can even think
warships and bombers, snow in the summer
start swimming or we'll just sink
The raindrops falling, by the window sleeping
the truth beyond all my dreams
saddened by the words spoke
headlines for the sorry eyes to read
My lonely stitches through the seams
Sunrise comes and dances on queen
appear before both my eyes
a vision of beauty
to close, I wish
Left there with supprise
four tears in my eyes
separate time from the ties
One more murder and I'll bring it all down
for yourself I got nothing for pitty, I got nothing for hate
I got nothing for your shallow self-esteme
Sometimes the pen beats the hand
all flowing with sentiment to bare
a loved one sleeps softly
with thoughts of loss I'm standing right there
You know
Again another crash-light two storey sleeping
they lay beyong bleeding
I just wish today was yesterday
and the battle of which lies I was choosing to believe in
I for one I got nothing to loose
I'm finding out and breaking free
in my powder blue leather pinned mohair noose
Displaying mysery to all
My demons creep whenever I'm down
can't help it's just what I am
hidden far from beyond what I think I am
I dance with my angel
Wrecking ball swings with the crumbs from the pigs feed
I can't hide away my sadness for a future that became
Everything's easier
when only thoughts of love are free
Finish off with a sip, the cans gone flat
this is it, another cigarette
Finnish is off, heads gone weary, climb into you
Weekend looms, I got a new toy
don't know what I'm feeling, wait til tomorrow
my angel sleeps, whispers in her ear
Candles almost out, silence is heaven to my ear
I'll be broken when I think what I couldn't hear
And I know that I will
destiny trembles just like the thrill
Boom! Are you ready for the fight

Search Out My Soul
04:02
|
|||
I remember a time
when everything was cheap
now I can't even close my eyes
to go to sleep
When I do my head spins round
trying to think of ways to make a pound
all this, is weighing down on my soul
Do you notice
whenever you walk into town
prices they just knock you down
to the ground
this country is bleeding us dry
enough to make me sit in the rain and cry
all this, is weighting down on my soul
Chorus:
Well tonight, I'm gonna search out my soul
yeah tonight, I'm gonna search out my soul
I had enough
of scraping a life
gonna leave this town
on a train tonight
gonna weigh up the pro's and the cons
and listen to the voice inside who knows
And somehow try and free up my soul
(Chorus)

Exile
04:32
|
|||
Down the stairs
stand in the dark
shackled feet
and a bruised hear
Ain't nothing more
that I can do
but accept this fate of mine
As I sit here behind the wall
a life with a name in pieces
on the floor
Chorus:
I know this ain't your idea of heaven
nor what you dreamed of as a child
but it's all that I can give
it's all that I go in me
See the house
there on the hill
paint all cracked
on the bars on the window
Well that's home
for a little while
ain't nothing more
I can do
As I sit here and count the time
count the hours, the minutes
the seconds rolling by
(Chorus)
Why don't you tear these walls
I can breathe
and I can fall
but I can soar
As I sit here and count the time
count the hours, the minutes
the seconds rolling by
I know this ain't your idea of heaven
nor what you dreamed of as a child
there ain't no heaven here nor glory
just a little faith in this heart of mine
And it's all that I can give
it's all that I got in me

Ice Cream Jesus
05:26
|
|||
I see a smile
through a shadow
on a Sunday morning
Awake yes
still tired
blood eyes and yarning
The bottle lyes as still as me
I'm as sick as my nicotine fingers
but I hear you calling
I hear you calling
Chorus:
I promise I'll be hear waiting
growing old and aching
and as the sun beats down
on a brand new day
No I wont let you
no I wont let you
melt through my hands
like an ice cream Jesus
Words fail
to move
a drunken dreamer
I could fall
for you
but I'm a non-believer
They say you are the only one
I don't believe you're the fallen son
but I hear you calling
I hear you calling
(Chorus)
And the fire says it all
no more than the words
and I'm fading here without
as love lyes bleeding
No more death and glory
fading out
(Chorus)

The Days Of My
Confinement
Behind the large black studded Victorian door that separated me from the eerily empty streets, I decided to write. I threw myself into this body of work. It became my whole world. My one self. Through this stillness of time and with silence of the wind, my musings turned into song.
