Some Kind of Nothing
I saw you at the party last Friday around the corner from JD’s
I never got your name but I’ll call you princess after the street
it was something to watch you floating around the room,
feet barely on the floor
you held conversation with strangers the way
I wish my friends would do more
there’s a misty kind of confusion shifting memories back and fourth
but if I could forget everything just to remember you on that silver horse
then I wouldn’t hesitate
Some kind of nothing
some kind of beautiful
some kind of memories stand tall
And everything you ever dreamed
stood close enough you can touch it
but hiding behind the walls
some kind of beautiful you
I remember you helped me gather my thoughts and confusion,
you saw me stand up straight
a glass of salty water does wonders when your deluded and your eyes feel strange
the pictures on the walls were climbing from their gold leafed antique wooden frames
so we could take their places and wait for people to pass and try and remember our names
there’s a fog light pointing right at us coming from the north
but if I could change direction and change fates chosen coarse
then I wouldn’t hesitate
Some kind of nothing
some kind of beautiful
some kind of memories stand tall
And everything you ever dreamed
stood close enough you can touch it
but hiding behind the walls
some kind of beautiful you
Some kind of nothing
some kind of beautiful
some kind of memories stand tall
And everything you ever dreamed
stood close enough youcan touch it
but hiding behind the walls
And I who have nothing
stand taller than a rich men
see I got no place to fall
I have no dreams
I have no heart
I’ve given it all
to some kind of beautiful you Top

Carry Me Carolina
I walk the streets at night
can’t find any place to rest
looked in every window
darkness was all I found
just want to find a place
to lay down for a while
a little home from home
Want to lay down close to you
feel the warmth you lay
your cool breath on my face
cold feet against my skin
if I could have one wish
I wouldn’t hesitate in asking why
Carry me Carolina, carry me home
give me back the place I know best
Carry me Carolina, carry me home
promise I’ll stay with you here
I should never leave my home
to search out for the rest
couldn’t be happy with
all I got
if I could turn back time
would you come with me
cold you leave it all behind
Carry me Carolina, carry me home
give me back the place I know best
Carry me Carolina, carry me home
promise I’ll stay with you here
All I ever wanted
was to love you a little more
thought a different life
would do me good
but I find that I
miss you all the same
now your not there
Carry me Carolina, carry me home
give me back the place I know best
Carry me Carolina, carry me home
promise I’ll stay with you here Top

Standing Stone
Whenever I get down or lost
I reach into the air
and I feel something, sometimes,
Someone out there
When I want, I need, I crave for someone
I can call, I can fall, and I know that, and that
Your my, your my
Whenever I’m blue and down
and I feel things closing in
I take a moment, pause, a little time
to remember what I believe in
And I feel, alive, feel so good
when your close to me
so I see you, I touch you
just to know that, and that
Your my, your my
Your my rock when I got nothing to hold
Your my standing Stone
Your my rock when I got nothing to hold
Your my standing Stone
And I know whenever I’m broken
or in pain
I can turn, I can face
and take comfort cause you remain
By my side, through the night
I hope you know
how much I need you, feel you
and I know that, and that
Your my, your my
Your my rock when I got nothing to hold
Your my standing Stone
Your my rock when I got nothing to hold
Your my standing Stone
When we talk on the phone
it’s hard because I don’t show you
my love, my tears
my joy like you do
And I put. down the phone
only to have to wait another day
so I can say I love you
I need you and that and that
Your my, your my
Your my rock when I got nothing to hold
Your my standing Stone
Your my rock when I got nothing to hold
Your my standing Stone
So tonight when you ring me
I’m gonna tell all the things
that I should have, that I need to
and that this boy really sings
For your heart, your touch
for your everything
and I can tell you, I can tell you that
Your my, your my
Your my rock when I got nothing to hold
Your my standing Stone
Your my rock when I got nothing to hold
Your my standing Stone Top

Time
Tear spills from my eye
think I wonna die
cold rushing me
as I lie
I fell down before
banished to the floor
I don’t know
but I can’t take know more
Time takes a stroll and finds me
where I hide
nothing but the pain
I hold inside
I’m tired know longer can I fight
Replace the face of old
lost words in a story untold
rock pools in my head
the almighty behold
Time takes a stroll and finds me
where I hide
nothing but the pain
I hold inside
I’m tired know longer can I fight
I don’t know, I don’t know
the answers why
I can’t feel, I can’t feel
pain when I cry
I got stuck, I got stuck
in this
Time takes a stroll and finds me
where I hide
nothing but the pain
I hold inside
I’m tired know longer can I fight
This wasted face of mine
to the great gig I’ll climb
then I can look upon
this forgotten time Top

Waisted Heart
And does it just
keep going the same
or will I always
be playing the game
Just going through motions
I’ve been stirring up potions
to see it through
And if I told you
stood outside of your door
with the words that I’d chosen
on cards on the floor
Don’t say a word now
and I just turn around
like I did before
With this wasted heart
and my love for you
comes crashing through
andI love you
yeah its true
I give it you
See I’ve been a fool
for too long
I missed my chance
with the one I belong
the one I’m supposed to grow old with
my life I would give
everything to
With this wasted heart
and my love for you
comes crashing through
andI love you
yeah its true
I give it you Top

8487
Watered down chasers
and a pinch of lime
the fag in your hands
burnt beyond the line
You buy your pills from a vending machine
have you ever awoke
in a sweat from a dream
Spend all your money
wining and dining
for a few moments with her
is all you have to shine in
Can I take you on my own
for a flash of diamonds
all the love I’ve shown
Staring out across
a hollow gaze I felt
the ice cubes in my vodka
slowly begin to melt
I know we’ve faced it all before
ships are silent
in the glory of war
Greed and glory strive
to make me a better man
I’d like to be a little worse
but I don’t think I can
I know we’ve faced it all before
but see these ships are silent
in the glory of war Top

Soon Be Tomorrow
I left home when I was ten
didn’t leave much of anything
made my way through streets, cities and crowds
just looking for a place to crash out
Only a poor harvester could offer me rooms
through a hole in the barn (roof) I could see ten moons
it wasn’t for wanting and it wasn’t for trying
that I ended up in a city without any rule’s
Forget what your given
and reword what your told
there's still places
where the night time is dark
And now’s not forever
it’ll soon be tomorrow
come with me now
back to the start
As a carpenter carved a thousand masks like mine
on the sidewalk of my town these faces entwine
only to be you is too much for me (to be me)
fly me on a cattle ship far away soon
Take what you once left as it soon wont be there
when concrete glass towers expose the hidden stairs
be with me once more and I’ll ask never again
that you’ll promise me that you’ll get out of here soon
Forget what your given
and reword what your told
there's still places
where the night time is dark
And now’s not forever
it’ll soon be tomorrow
come with me now
back to the start
Tailored to measure but it fits not quite right
like cities at night time are unnervingly bright
make me an offer like a movie star
and I’ll change so I’m not easily pleased
Forget what your given
and reword what your told
there's still places
where the night time is dark
And now’s not forever
it’ll soon be tomorrow
come with me now
back to the start Top

Ten Pages
Ten pages and a love affair
Ten pages and I’m not there
How long you bee standing near
can’t wait for you to turn
Ten pages for a love affair
Ten pages just don’t seem fair
but the moon came too soon
Your beautiful rose glazed eyes
read your favourite line
In the ten page love affair
Ten pages and I’m not there
for the moon came too soon
for the moon caved too soon
Ten pages for a love affair
Ten pages and I’m not there
for my mood changed to soon
for my mood changed too soon Top

Song To Woodie
Got a pocket full of dust and bones
got a suitcase full of gold
gonna sell it to the man in the sky
whose son looks upon the footprints he left late last night
when he was coming back when he shouldn’t have been out
visiting that old childhood hangout
Little girl playing on the swing
sings a melody that reminds me a little of Bob Dylan
Little girl playing on the swing
sings a song
is it song to Woddie
Just broke free from the shackles of youth
on a journey now, find me some lovin'
got my eye on the girl across the street
like a diamond in a thorn she’s got me thinking
what it’d be like to be behind those eyes
knowing what she knows and all those lies
Little girl playing on the swing
sings a melody that reminds me a little of Bob Dylan
Little girl playing on the swing
sings a song
is it song to Woddie
Still got dreams of for better or worse
but somehow they’ve started to make me feel a little drowsy
and when I come home after loosing on a horse
I think I could’ve had something nice, now I just feel lousy
but I’m listening to the duck’s laughing in the park
and wondering why this little girls still out when its long after dark
Little girl playing on the swing
sings a melody that reminds me a little of Bob Dylan
Little girl playing on the swing
sings a song
is it song to Woddie Top

Vague Memory
I just stepped by to see the man
I’ve got the candy in my right hand
and I look good, yeah I look good
as I walk down the street
with my crocodile feet
and the furriest rug wrapped around so need
yeah it felt, yeah it felt good
Cause I was goin' to get paid
I was goin'’ to get made
I was goin'’ to get laid
Where know one has a name
and the day is just a game
to see
who dies for fame
Sanfransisco’s the place to go
I ain’t ever been but I’d like to know
if the love’s real, if the love’s real
So I jump on my bike
see the Frisco bay
but just my look
I got a date today
I’d better go now, I’d better go now
Cause I was goin' to get paid
I was goin'’ to get made
I was goin'’ to get laid
Where know one has a name
and the day is just a game
to see
who dies for fame
Forgive us our sin’s and our trespasses
punish the bad but for the rest of us
all we needs a little bit of love
a little bit of joy
and a little bit of gum
A far flung planet and a distant roar
an angel lies shot down to the floor
a vague memory
of yesterday
yesterday’s
our today Top

Love And Time
Lover
Lover, where are you now
are you sleeping sound
across the bay
you were here only yesterday
but your gone today
Love and time
they crossed the line
Love and time
Stranger
Stranger, how come you lost your way
and strayed too far this way
across the sand
did you loose your mothers hand
ain’t this life just grand
Love and time
they crossed the line
Love and time
Aiming
Aiming, you’ll shoot yourself too high
but don’t not try
you’ll find a way
maybe not today
gotta go out and play
Lover
Lover, where are you now
are you sleeping sound
across the bay

Red Mexico
Steps surround the mystery
the painted walls of history
a spoken word once buried
but once said it was meant to be
Take my heart
You got my eyes
Red Mexico
You are my paradise
If I look beyond the lies
You almost made me fly
I stood where other die
upon your sun
we watch you want to cry
Take my heart
You got my eyes
Red Mexico
I didn’t want to
But I had to
Red Mexico
Take me back to Red Mexico Top

Time To Kill
Sun’s gone grey
over London town today
still you don’t notice
that this cities fading away
Still the headline reads
Still the headline reads
Still the headline reads
what a wonderful place to spend the
Day’s lost in the city
drinking champagne over Primrose Hill
gazing over empires
at a city deceivingly still
Am I the only one
Am I the only one
Am I the only one
who’s got any time to kill
Am I the only one
Am I the only one
Am I the only one
who’s got any time to kill Top

Let Me Lead On
If you walk down the street and you feel no shame
then there ain’t a place here for you
If you turn the TV on and think your not to blame
then brother I ain’t with you
You wonna stand with me then you gotta face the truth
and I’ll hold your hand
touch with you eyes and feel with your heart
it’ll make you a man
Let me lead on, give me freedom
Let me lead on, give me freedom
and I will stand with you to the end
If you choose not to answer when someone calls for help
one day it might just be you
its not a sin to wonna please yourself
just don’t think only of you
Now’s never to late to make a change
come down here where we stand small
open your eyes and give out your heart
I promise it’ll make you a man
Let me lead on, give me freedom
Let me lead on, give me freedom
Let me lead on, give me freedom
Let me lead on, give me freedom
and I will stand with you to the end
Take it in your stride and you turn your head
then get out of my sight
you keep on walking past someone who needs help
don’t pretend you just didn’t see
Don't’ be one of many
be with the few
I promise you’ll feel a little grace inside
see with you eyes and hurt with your heart
it’ll make you a man
Let me lead on, give me freedom
Let me lead on, give me freedom
Let me lead on, give me freedom
Let me lead on, give me freedom
Let me lead on, give me freedom
Let me lead on, give me freedom
and I will stand with you to the end Top

I Can’t Leave
Never knew what it was like
to find my feet
on the shelf of this life
my soul you keep
and I can’t work it out
Take your arms and fly
to anywhere you like
I wont wait
Promise me you’ll let me know
what its like on the other side
I can’t leave
Never thought you had it in ya
to leave what you knew
and I’ll find it hard the same
to live with what you do
and I’ll keep my track on side
Take your arms and fly
to anywhere you like
I wont wait
Promise me you’ll let me know
what its like on the other side
I can’t leave
So I’ll sit here all alone
as I watch you passing by
I can face what never comes
if you let me try
and I’ll work out what I can
Take your arms and fly
to anywhere you like
I wont wait
Promise me you’ll let me know
what its like on the other side
I can’t leave Top
