There is an old man been sittin’ in my bed
Starin’ out the window stealing all my bread
Nicotine stains Smelly breath
There is an old man been sittin’ in my bed
Yet there is no time
No time like the present
There is no time
No time like now
There is an old woman been layin’ in my bed
Smoothin’ out the wrinkles puts a smile upon my head
Satin sheets Cos everybody said
There is an old woman been layin’ in my bed
Yet there is no time
No time like the present
There is no time
No time like now
There is no present
No present like time
When is your time to
Stop and smell the roses
When is your time
When is your time to
Stop and smell the roses
When is your time
When is your time to
Stop and smell the roses
When is your time
When is your time to
Stop and smell the roses
When is your time
You know you gotta make the time
Make the time make the time make the time
Make the time
You know you gotta make the time
Make the time make the time make the time
Make the time
You know you gotta make it
When you gonna
Make the time make the time make the time
Please just make it

You Gotta Risk It

You gotta risk it
For the biscuit
Ooh la la je ne sais quoi
Every cloud has a silver lining
Ooh la la je ne sais quoi
Every dog has its day
You gotta risk it
For the biscuit
Ooh la la je ne sais quoi
Every dog has a silver lining
Ooh la la je ne sais quoi
Every cloud has its day
(Sayings/Platitudes/Clichés/Adages/Proverbs)
Every cloud has a silver lining
Every dog has its day
Familiarity breeds contempt

Siddhartha

Travelling along a road
Dappled sunshine on my face
Wind is blowing through my hair
I don’t have any cares
Packed my bags of the human race
Walking along without a trace
Leaving no foot prints in my wake
Doing what I can
Mr Brown your river bed is holding me down
Not much has changed you see
Your rivers still got a hold on me
Can’t see the woods through the trees
Something ‘bout the birds and bees
It’s up to you and me it’s up to you and me
Walking down a dusty track
Ain’t seen a person since years back
Clouds casting shadows not my place
Fire won’t burn in outer space
Kicked the habit that kicked my mind
Kicked up a stink and then went to hide
Never went nowhere then went some more
Where to from here
Mr Brown your river bed is holding me down
Not much is left you see
But your rivers still got a hold on me
Can’t see an emergency
It’s just something ‘bout the birds and bees
It’s up to you and me it’s up to you and me
I like to think that
There’s light at the end of the tunnel
I like to think that
There’s hope in the hills
I like to think that
We’re smart enough to make big changes
I like to think that
We can change our ways
We can change our ways
We can change these days
We can change these days
Driving down the side of the avenue
Wishing that my dreams could come true
It’s down from 3 to 2
Wondering what on earth can make things right
Mr Brown needs to put up a fight
He needs to put up a fight
He needs to put up a fight
He’s gonna make things alright

Gravity
04:43
|

I am falling down
Plummeting to the ground
I’m descending through the depths of despair
Tumbling uphill
Gravity is pulling me down
I’m wandering through dysphoria
When it all becomes regret
Tumbling uphill tumbling uphill
I am falling down
Gravity keeps pulling me down
It hangs around my neck
Keeps pulling me down
Yet I can see a light at the end of the tunnel
I’ll try to remain calm show some optimism
It’s time to climb, rise, stand out
Get up from the bottom
Our lives take heart
Take heart
It’s time to climb, rise, stand out
Get up from the bottom
Our lives take heart
You gotta take some heart now
Our lives take heart
Our lives take heart
Gravity keeps pulling me up that hill
Gravity keeps pulling me up that hill
Gravity keeps pulling gravity keeps pulling
Gravity keeps pulling me up that hill
Up that hill
Gravity
Up that hill
Gravity
Up that hill
Gravity’s keeping me down
Gravity’s keeping me down
Gravity’s keeping me down
Gravity’s keeping me down

Why shouldn't you why shouldn't I
Why shouldn't we fall in love for the day
In the morning sun in noon's moon above
In evening's bright light's let's fall in love for the day
You, Me, We, Let's see what
24 hours can bring
If our eyes entwine
Sending shivers up and down our spines
Let's fall in love for the day
You, me, we, what a
24 hours we had
When our eye's entwined
Sent those shivers up and down our spines
We said let our hearts see
So we made the day free
From dawn to dawn we
Fell in love for the day
We fell in love for the day
We fell in love for the day

1 Lonely Brain
03:51

My brain and I we had a fight
It lasted several weeks and I st… just can’t get it right
My brain and I we had a fight
It said “I’m gonna leave you and I’m gonna walk out that front door”
My brain and I we fought
Whatever for?
My brain it’s now no it’s no longer here
And I’m well I’m sitting here all alone
I just went out this week and I bought a paper
And it’s all just so lonely
It's all just so lonely
It's just so lonely
when you’re not here
When you’re not here at all
And it’s all just so lonely when you’re not here
When you’re not here at all
And now you’ve gone
It’s time to move on
No more looking back
No just staring out the window
When will it all end
It all
It all began
It all began so long ago
It all began so long ago can’t hardly remember
It all began so long ago
It all began so long ago
It all began so long ago can’t hardly remember
It all began so long ago

Wicked Ways

Freedom freedom freedom we’re outta here
Freedom freedom freedom that we don’t care
See them see them see them out everywhere
See them see them see them they sit and stare
We were just living here we’ve been taken out
Here there and everywhere we’re not around
It’s not an accident it’s by design
Don’t be crossing over the man’s lines
Suggesting suggesting suggest that you’ll be rich
Suggesting suggesting suggest you scratch that itch
Take that ring take that bling take home most everything
Make that sing make that ding make up just anything
We were just living here we’ve been taken out
Here there and everywhere we’re not around
It’s not an accident it’s by design
Don’t be crossing over the man’s lines
Hold on to your cap it’s gonna be a bumpy ride
Look over your shoulder it’s time for you to see what cannot hide
We’ll get no older unless you go and change your wicked ways
Unless you go and change
Your wicked your wicked your wicked ways
Freedom freedom freedom is out of here

Breathe just breathe
Every day we see people being cruel people being mean
Why can’t we change this scene help them to live
Breathe just breathe
Every day we get same old same lies old same old same old lines
Why can’t we change this scene rip up the script and let
Things get started
It’s gotta get better it’s gotta get better
It’s gotta get better cos it can’t get much worse
Better it’s gotta get better it’s gotta get better
Cos when you hit the bottom
That’s when you know that the only way is up
Breathe
Let your mind adjust and don’t let the positive thoughts disappear
Breathe deep and exhale
Let the hate drift by you’ll find
You’ve been lit been woke made free
It’s gotta get better it’s gotta get better
It’s gotta get better cos it can’t get much worse
Better it’s gotta get better it’s gotta get better
Cos when you hit the bottom
We all have control over what we say and do
Positive thoughts can change a life
It’s your choice what you choose
Actions and deeds sayings and words
Have effect on those around us
Positive in positive out
Breathe
We all have control over what we say and do
Positive thoughts can change your life
It’s always up to you
It’s gotta get better it’s gotta get better
It’s gotta get better for it can’t get much worse
Better it’s gotta get better it’s gotta get better
Cos it’ll change our lives you’ll see

I go to work it’s deflating
When I see that tiny pay cheque
Come home each day it’s demoralizing
To see the house in ruin & decay
Turn on the TV watching programs
Makes my life feel like a big mistake
I go to bed gotta get up early
And start all over and go through the same again
And I say
When’s it all gonna end
The world is unfair and corrupt
Political powers and the one percenters don’t give a stuff
Hard working folk get short-changed every single day
But they go about their business they don’t know no other way
But this time this time it’s time for a change
Close the gap between poor and rich can’t stay the same
Stand up for our rights it’s time they felt some shame
It’s a war It’s a war it’s a war it’s not a game
And it’s time to choose sides
Don’t know
What it was that you wanna be
Don’t know
Who or what that you wanna see
Can’t tell
Are we living in a world size prison cell
I don’t wanna be new
Don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna be
Don’t wanna be new
Don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna be
Don’t wanna be new
I go to work
It’s awe inspiring
When I see you all standing there

My Utopian Dystopia
02:16
|
|||
|
Flat out living within my means
My vans got a fever of a thousand degrees
Already fallen over on her knees
Help her please she can’t get up
Redline sleep messed up street
Treelined dreams all the rage
Lead filled sleigh
It’s my Utopian Dystopia
Many people living without dreams
Scratching out an earning with a PhD
System’s got an issue big blue screen
Help him please he can’t get up
Left to sleep billion streams
Dread filled days ain’t going away
Lead fueled sleigh
It’s my Utopian Dystopia
Here we are some living a nightmare
Here we are some living a dream
Say your prayers you’re living a nightmare
Say your prayers you’re living a dream
Living a dream Living a dream
Live in a dream
Flat out living without dreams
Scratching out an earning with a fever it seems
Systems full of issues it’s on its knees
It’s on its knees
It’s on its knees

Gather 'Round
02:57

Bright lights are stalking me
Dark shadows are calling me
And you are on the outside looking in
The biggest, toughest, don't bother me
My insides are more scary
I'm a cat bloody weary
I am on the inside
So, So gather round you long lost masses
So gather round your hearts and souls
So gather round people everywhere
And you will see we're all the same, we're all the same
I'm taking on the lights tonight
Safe in my cloak of mirrors
Muscles twitching, eyes ablaze,
Striding to the beat of the night
Now they’re getting closer to me
Souls opening up
Close to recognition now
So this is what it's like
When we gather
So, So gather round you long lost masses
So gather round your hearts and souls
So gather round people everywhere
And you will see we're all the same, we're all the same

Yesterday's Tomorrow
02:12

What is it that you stand for
What do you believe in
Up upon the precipice overlooking a sheer drop
Unable to control anything that’s going on
This train is coming quickly doesn’t matter which way you look
Feet stuck in the nightmare clay does it really really matter
What you say
When it’s all yesterday’s tomorrow
That you’re living in
When it’s all tomorrow’s today
That we’re ushering in
Cos it’s all commerce focused greed is a deadly sin
But we don’t have no planet B
We really need the win
What is it that you stand for
What do you believe in
What is it that you believe in
What do you stand for
This is not time for games of
He said she said cos that says we’re all dead
There is no time for blame
For that just delays the ways we’ll pay for
This means we’re laying in our bed
Of they said we said who cares we’re all dead
Who cares if we’re all dead
What is it that you stand for
What do you believe in
And what is it that you believe in
What do you stand for
What do you stand for
What do you stand for

Who knows where it comes from
The soul of a song it don’t belong
Something inside has gone wrong
Who knows where it’s come from
Who knows when it came to be
Suddenly out it must be free
The heart and the soul is like a tree
Who knows how it came to be
