1.When You Call Me
I know you have time
But believe me it will fly by -
And if it don't treat you right
I want you to know that you can call me.
Into each life, some rain must fall
But if the storm becomes too much for you all -
Don't be afraid to enter my life
I will be there when you call me.
Don't let your pride get in the way of your view
Of how we used to be -
Oh, to you it's long ago, but to me, yesterday,
The passing of time is like the crashing of waves
It wears down on your memory and you can forget
That if it all gets too much i will always be there
For you to call me - if you need to call me.
Into each life, some rain must fall
But when the storm becomes too much for you all -
Don't be ashamed to enter my life
I will be there when you call me.
2.April's Fool
I, just like a fool let you go
Not knowing what i had lost
As only a fool would know
Still counting, but not the cost
And so not having much left to show
I tried to fool myself
As only a fool could show
Until she comes to me
I never thought that it would be this way
See i took it granted that you were here to stay
You with your brown eyes of blue
I couldn't see further than me
Now i see the same old view
Unless you come back to me
Until you come back to me
If you come back to me
I never thought it would be this way
See i took it granted that you were here to stay
I, just like a fool let you go
Not knowing what i had lost
As only a fool would know
Unless you come back to me
Until you come back to me
If you come back to me
3.A Casual Affair
It's funny how time seems to soften the blow
And only with time do i see at all
That the promises made were the start of the fall
The biggest mistake was to promise at all
Shout the odds
And what does it matter now?
That dreams are a passing cloud
Their place is taken
With many more fools like us
The time that we had we now have to repay
The sweet things we ate now leave a bitter taste
Can you ever remember a night or a day
You ever regretted eating that way
Say i'm wrong
But inside you know i'm right
And useless to try and fight
They say it was worth it
But you know it never was
The hurt inside
And all the wasted tears we've cried
Oh, the fun we had
All the good things just turned bad
Oh, the memories
Rearrange themselves to misery for me
Say i'm wrong
But inside you know i'm right
And useless to try and fight
They say it was worth it
But you know it never was
The hurt inside
And all the wasted tears we've cried
Oh, the fun we had
All the good things just turned bad
Oh, the memories
Rearrange themselves to misery for me
A casual affair in a casual way
We don't go far living from day to day
It just is a laugh that we left unnamed
You came here with pride but they told you was changed
Shout the odds
And what does it matter now?
That dreams are a passing cloud
Their place is taken
With many more fools like us
4.A Stones Throw Away
For liberty there is a cost - its broken skulls and leather
cosh,
From the boys in uniform - now you know whose side their on -
With backing - with blessing,
From earthly gods not heaven,
A stones throw away from it all.
Whatever pleasures those who get - from stripping skin with
rhino whip,
Are the kind that must be stopped - before their kind take all
we've got -
With loving - with caring,
They take great pride in working,
The stones throw away from it all.
Whenever honesty persists - you'll hear the snap of broken ribs,
Of anyone who'll take no more - of the lying bastards roar -
In chile - in poland,
Johannesburg - south yorkshire,
A stones throw away: now we're there.
5.A Woman's Song(Hstga Version)
Hush little baby don't you cry
Momma's gonna buy you a nursery rhyme
And if that don't send you to sleep
Momma's gonna have to find the key
All of our worries are not our choice
Someone sees to that, i know not why
Things that we've worked for they started to sell
Now heaven is for angels and earth is hell
Hush little baby your time may come
When things as they are now will be undone
And you as the change if you last that long
And you as the change if you last that long
Hush oh, my child, momma's only sad
They've damned nearly taken away all i have
And all i have in the world is you
Just you and the future's that sees me through
So hush little baby your time may come
The things as they are now will be undone
And you as the change if you last that long
And you as the change if you last that long
All i have in the world is you
It's you and the future's that sees me through
6.Big Boss Groove
Hold on is what they say
To get any back to you will have to pay
Don't shout or get upset
It's the same message from the holy tory government
Don't rock the sinking ship
And don't fly in the face of it
Work for your heaven's way
It's the same bullshit from the pulpit and the president
Hear keys getting in my way
It drives me crazy when i hear them say
'let us pray' 'cause i want my heaven here on earth
Get up is what we say
Don't wait for judgement day
There's too much going on
You might think you're weak
But together we can be so strong
This world is no man's land
Our lives are in our hands
Our will is our command
You put it together and together we can make a stand
Our faith is the key to it
The unifying for some reason to be
You will see if you stand outside
The big boss groove
Get on up!
Our faith is the key to it
The unifying for some reason to be
You will see if you stand outside
The big boss groove
Get up is what we say
And don't wait for judgement day
There's too much going on
You may think you're weak
But together we can be so strong
This world is no man's land
Our lives are in our hands
Our will is our command
You put it together and together we can make a stand
In our hands, our command, and together we can make a stand!
Yeah!
7.Bloodsports
Who takes the heart from a stag
Who gets a hard-on with blood on their hands
Who strips the wonder of life
When they don't have the right
But they say it's fair game
And they won't feel no pain
As we feel no shame
So let the sun come down
Let our eyes close the blind
Let the rivers run dry
Let the forest life die
But who are they to decide
As if their right is divine
As if their right sublime
Who wins the hooves loses respect
Who kills the grace treads with intent -
Into heaven's domain, playing little christians
Hear their voice soar in church
Giving thanks for this earth -
Then destroying its birth
So let the sun come down
Let our eyes close the blind
Let the rivers run dry
Let the forest life die
But who are they to decide
As if their right is divine
As if their right sublime
8.Ghosts Of Dachau
I close my eyes - i reach out my hand
And there you are - beautiful in scabs
Caressing my scalp - under the mounts of the gun towers
I shout your name - i kick out in dreams
And here we are - the searchlight beams
The siren squeals - and hopeless shuffle to certainty
The crab lice bite - the typhoid smells
And i still here - handsome in rags
A trouserless man - waiting helpless for dignity
Come to me angel, don't go to the showers
Beg, steal or borrow - now there's nothing left to take
Except eternity
And who will come - to flower our graves?
With us still here - covered with dust
Remembered by few but forgotten by the majority
Stay with me angel - don't get lost in history
Don't let all we suffered lose it's meaning in the dark
That we call memory
9.In Love For The First Time
Guilty of the old excuse
Of losing myself to you
But i'm only human
I think in time things can only get more confused
If i make the same mistake
Of thinking it's all quite plain
Please excuse my ignorance
But i've never felt this before
In love for the first time
Our hearts beat almost in time
And nothing else seems to matter
There's nothing else that's on my mind
I have no sense of time
Only necking, mating
I think you'll know when we're apart the time goes so slow
In love for the first time
Our hearts beat almost in time
And nothing else seems to matter
And where to start i do not know
These things take time
And time to grow
Now nothing else is on my mind
I have no sense of time
Only necking, mating
I think you'll know when we're apart the time goes so slow
In love for the first time
Our hearts beat almost in time
And nothing else seems to matter
10.I Ain't Goin' Under
I've counted all the pores of my skin
I've listed all the places i've been
I'm trying not to keep it out of my mind
I'm trying to remember my lines
I'm trying to will the sun to shine
So i don't crack and crumble with time
Deep inside i've determined to win
I must admit to the skin i'm in
I ain't going under this time
This time i've made up my mind
I ain't going under this time
I'm trying to remember my lines
I'm trying to will the sun to shine
So i don't crack and crumble with time
I've counted all the pores of my skin
I've listed all the places i've been
So i don't crack and crumble with time
11.I Am Leaving
Tired of dust and dirt to clean
This place once loved, now makes me sick
I've got to get away
I've passed the places of my youth
Torn out pages from a well-read book
I dream awhile - but i leave it anyway
But i can still remember when
I could still laugh and call you friend
And only you -
You used to talk so wild and free
Now you can't remember what you used to be
You've lost the will
You could never be wrong
No, you were never that strong
Some are listening
Some are doing
Some are wasting away
I am leaving
Some cannot hear
Some are waiting
Most are writhing away
Torn between the deep blue sea
From a place on earth that appeals to me
Hell i can't swim anyway
But not for me but those i leave
Think of them as dying leaves that may bloom again
I'm leaving
12.Love Pains
Oh i think it's too late baby
Oh i think it's too late again
Trying to look back over my shoulder
I could see my past oh so clear
And i remember how, how i used to hold her
Oooh it makes me wish that she was here
Too many love pains
Jealous inside
Too many love pains
Too many scars for us to hide
Too many love pains just because of foolish pride
I can't turn back, now my hands are tied
I just try to look ahead - instead of behind
I don't know where i went wrong
I just know that it's too late for us to carry on
Too many love pains
Jealous inside
Too many love pains
Too many scars for us to hide
Too many love pains just because of foolish pride
13.My Very Good Friend
Down and down i went - in a spiral wheel
Til i coudn't touch and i couldn't feel
Then you came along and pulled me up
Showed me all the things that i'd forgot
Don't let it go - don't let it stop
Don't let it fool - don't let it drop
I've not come this far not to let it go
Now i have your love i won't let it go
Here is the part that i want it to be
If you want to stay with me
Though your precious time is hard to share
It's enough for me to know you care
And when or if you decide to leave
Oh believe me i won't think bad of you
You've made me feel - like i've always wanted to feel
You've made me whole again - we're not gonna lose it until the
end
And just before i reach the end
Let me introduce my very good friend
The one who said they'd believe in me
When all else around has fallen in
14.Night After Night
Oh night after night - i still miss you baby
Night after night - i still want your love
Since you've been gone my whole life has changed
Without your love mine's just not the same
Day after day your on my mind
Thinking of you takes up all of my time
I still miss you baby
Night after night i still want your love
I toss and turn in my empty bed
Memories of you keep dancing in my head
Day after day i miss you more
What i ever did since you walked out the door
I still miss you baby
Night after night - i still want your love
Night after lonely night
Day after day i miss you more
What i ever did since you walked out the door
I still miss you baby
15.Party Chambers
Back in the party chambers
Laughter, records loud
I guess my guests are alright
They won't miss me for awhile
'cause i need to be alone
Let me sink in sadness
'cause i can't forget her
She was on my mind and
Try as i might i spend all my time -
Thinking 'bout her
And i walk to the waters edge of the lake and i
Gaze at my reflection
And for a moment i think i see her but
The wind blows her away
(and meanwhile)
Back in the party chambers
Restless guests, they get
And so i entertain them
But it's not myself
I can't wait until they go
Let me sink in sadness
'cause i can't forget her
She was on my mind and
Try as i might i spend all my time -
Thinking 'bout her
16.Sweet Loving Ways
Can it be a part of me has changed alot
That you have come into my life and brought so much
With your sweet loving ways
I don't want to change
Sweet loving ways
Let me just say
That your sweet loving ways have saved
I remember watching you from far away
Now my love grows stronger near you every day
With your sweet loving ways

Sweet loving ways

Every night in your bed
Every day in my head
How those nerves sound so dear
As i hold you so near
You saved me, you saved me
Sweet loving ways

Every night in your bed
Every day in my head
How those words sound so clear
As i hold you so near

Sweet loving ways

Sweet loving ways
Let me just say
That your sweet loving ways
With them i'm saved
17.The Piccadilly Trail
What you asked for is what i gave
No questions stopped at and nothing saved
From my scarcity of presence to my rarely seen bed
I took you in hoping that you'd be a friend
Now i'm so scared of the weeks ahead
What i dreamed of i saw in you
I needed someone that i could trust too
But you smashed down all my faith with your callous lies
From the etching of daybreak to the canvas of moonlight
And now i'm so scared that your reveal what's mine
The trail, you led me down
Betrayal, you let me down
The trail, i'm so ashamed of you
Now i'm so scared of the weeks ahead
From the silence
I'm lost here in my lonely room
Tears are what brought you
Now you brought gloom
In the fading light of sun
I hear my empty heart bloom
Can you ever explain your need to cause me pain
I hear the whispers in the soho cafes
The poison gossip of the 10 'p' arcades
Of looks and the stares of those who know
Now their hateful eyes are the ones i close
And i'm so scared of the years ahead
18.The Whole Point Ii
The harbour lights that shine before me
The jewels that gleam from a beckoning sea
The rising shrieks that come from below me
The rushing winds of age and time
To close my eyes and feel the fall
To not resist unto the pull
Oh it's easy
So, so easy
The tiny scent that breezes past me
The promise that all could be mine
Just lose myself and make it easy
But i'm not prepared to live the lie
To shut my mouth and just say yes
To make a vow and then confess
It's too easy
Much too easy
All the power that i possess
My faith alone shall stand the test
To live my life as i see best
Without dark glasses a rose is picked
It's not easy
Not so easy
19.Waiting On A Connection
Cut the cake and drop the fine
I've seen good friends go down the line
This part of town where the sun don't shine
Always on the connection
This wind blows cold inside the flats
The screams start up like howling cats
Righted when i kick up dust
Be there on the connection
Could spend your life while spend the cash
Sell your soul or just your ass
Beat the boredom by beating someone
Either way you'll just be waiting on the connection
Seen all sights and they see mine
Counting seconds - i've done my time
Now i'm due out - they do ... divine
I'm trying to make the connection
If all this were fair - and justice true
I'd drink a toast - to me and you
As it is i'll just drink to forget
I tried to make the connection
You can kill the spirit but not the soul
Kill the poet and hope that goes
As lies are lies - i've lived and died
Either way i'm waiting on a connection
Soon in the bed - gonna rest - unrest
Sooner you give ....... i'll still be here when push comes to
shove
Waiting on a connection!
20.Who Will Buy?
Who will buy this wonderful morning
Such a sky you never did see
Who will tie it up with a ribbon
And put it in a box for me
So i could see it at my leisure
Whenever things go wrong
And keep it as a treasure
To last my whole life long
Who will buy this wonderful feeling
I'm so high i swear i could fly
Me oh my i don't want to lose it
So what am i to do
To keep this sky so blue
There must be someone who will buy
So i could see things at my leisure
Whenever things go wrong
And keep it as a treasure
To last my whole life long
Who will buy this wonderful feeling
I'm so high i swear i could fly
Me oh my i don't want to lose it
So what am i to do
To keep this sky so blue
There must be someone who will buy
