Ride My Wave
03:14
|

|
oh how things have changed
everybody wants to ride my wave
and on the way to the shore, you kick off for
another one you don't need my wave no more
it's a rolling coastal ride
arriving just in time for high tide
oh how times have changed
everybody wants to ride my wave
did I just see you smile?
you got everything that we all admire
and they line up from the earth to the blue
just to get a little bit closer to you
and out into the open water
waiting for my set to roll on through
I'm paddling round and round in circles
and suddenly, there you go
dropping in to ride my wave
a howling southerly change
pushes you slowly out of range
and just as my rogue wave comes through
I got to stop what I'm doing to
come and rescue you
it's a rolling coastal ride
arriving just in time for high tide
oh times have changed
come on everybody ride my wave

Cheney's Pie
03:58
|

|
where do we go from here?
said the ocean to the wave of despair
say you got nothing to fear, but there's little
or no way out of here
now the twentyfour hour colonial power say
it's not for the money, and it rolls in the armour
free the civilians if there's any left over, and the
sweet taste of victory's now gone sour
say come on George, set the example; you
poisoned Vietnam and levelled Hiroshima
now you got your hands in the oily sty you're
the one and very only devil in disguise
so what the hell are you doing?
now we're living our life in fear
don't believe what you're saying
cut 'em up, you pretend you care
little man won't listen to the people
just listen to the Texan lies
little man got a chip on your shoulder
got your Dick in Cheney's pie
where do we go from here?
said the mountain to the windswept plain
say you got nothing to fear, but
there's little or nothing growing down here
now here's a thought, maybe a conspiracy
any old excuse to roll in the military
all fall down with the minimum casualties
sorry to the firemen, love to the family
blame it on him, the one with the beard
prime time with a gun, he's the one to be feared
you better take a look out for national security
now the embassy's closed
is that diplomacy?

Half Price Soul Sale

|
trade up, trade up to a better one
a whole soul bargain
trade up, trade up and get on down to
the half price soul sale, trade up
take a little look in the past and learn
take a little look in the past and
right my wrong turn
take a little look in the past and learn
drink up, drink up, don't waste your time
on no basic spirit, drink up
drink up, drink up - but it's a long hard fall
from the top shelf baby, so drink up
take a little look in the past and learn
take a little look in the past and
right my wrong turn
take a little look in the past
at the half price soul sale
get out, get out, you're a beautiful soul and
you deserve better, so get out
get out, get out, before he marks you down and
leaves you on the bottom shelf
get out
take a little look in the past and learn
take a little look in the past and
right my wrong turn
take a little look in the past
at the half price soul sale

Tangle Up
03:33
|

|
I’m moving, I'm getting down
a little bit closer round
hey you're looking nice
hug you, you're so warm, enticing
we should tangle up in company
and I feel like a shiny star, let me and I’ll go that far
these complements come naturally to you, they do!
so, I hope you understand my position
I’ve got heavy extremes, I got to handle that transition
oh the moonshine on the water so fine
can’t you hear the wind call
can’t you see those waves fall
don’t you think there’s no better time
kiss, kiss, kiss and sipping wine

Carry On

how long is this conversation going to last?
you may be right, doesn't make me wrong
don't have to raise your voice, I'm going home
we've carried on far too long
people spend their whole life breaking rules
and making mistakes
God knows I tried to set things straight
there's too much going on
now the timing seems right, so let's get started
I got a little light, and it just
keeps getting brighter
I'll carry on, I'll carry on
I'm not going to spend my whole life
breaking rules and making mistakes
God knows it's time to heal the wounds
set things straight, shake your hand
it's not too late
there's a whole lot going on
now the timing seems right, so let's get started
I got a little light, and it just keeps
getting brighter
you may be right doesn't make me wrong
I'll keep raising my flag, I'm not going home
I'll carry on, I'll carry on

why are we never holding hands when he is
in the room, does it still affect you?
maybe this ain’t the right time
well look at this, he’s coming over, looks you up
and down, likes what he sees, then he looks at
me over your shoulder
the last he looked at me
everybody wants one just like you
set the mould
right to hold strong and bold
hard to catch the right match
and right there on the hour when
everybody wants to hold her
one by one they’ll ask her
what’s that cooking on your kitchen table?
dinner to be made -. she’s no maid
her feet are up and comfortable
it gets a little intense when the slim chance
to kiss her turns sour
I think I'm in deep, whoa I'm in deep
cut 'em now and get 'em fresh, always
always for you
we can’t ignore this much longer
you better sort it out or I’ll shout it out
for one of us is in danger of
getting the whole thing wrong
and things are definitely in your favour
what’s that knife on the kitchen table?
it’s a trap to be set
invisible net to keep her young
to keep her comfortable
she can sure dance she’ll never miss the
chance to hypnotise a flower
I think I'm in deep, whoa I'm in deep
I'm drowning help me!
cut 'em now and get 'em fresh, always
always for you

The Right Real Reason
04:34
|
|||
|
a story going around, to get an idea what
my eyes are telling me
words that are worthy of a good opinion
say that Love overrules
gives a right real reason
gory and bloody, was how it was
described, and the wounds
would never heal
she was a messenger
and I wore the wisdom
and together we pulled
him down
blew him away
we're here for the
answer, a crime needs a
sentence
all rise for the
right real reason
honesty breathes the air to the newborn
maturity dances with the grown up young
and dresses for purity, wrapped for the virgin
there's one small thing I forgot to mention
Love overrules
a story going around, to get an idea
my eyes are burning red
words cut deeper than Excalibur's blade
and I was bleeding on the ground as she walked away
she blew me away
we're here for the answer, a crime needs a sentence
all rise for the right real reason

Harry's Trial
05:07
|

when you get a little tired of a frustrated mind
a little up and over all the shallow understanding
well listen to the news of another mad man and
associated press given free ride to success
what about all the noxious weed growing?
here they come again to burn it all down
but an old man, he stops the match burning
cursing Anslinger into the ground -
here's a shovel, dig!
down in the ground, about six feet down
close your eyes while she covers you over
pay for your crime, you let the mother down
come on, be strong, pack up your things and move
on, keep on growing, don't let the mother down
closer to home, a place where we can belong
we'll keep on growing, don't let the mother down
she wants you to know, she wants you to grow
she won't let you go, she'll never let you know
she'll never let you go, shel'll never let you grow
until you take control
hey, it keeps my old bones moving. I got a lot to do
I don't need no slowing down
for now I'm on a path of education, and when they
come, we're the ones to be proud
by growing, I don't mean exploding population and
don't forget, you're number one
so let's cut 'em all down and get 'em al grazing
watch while the little ones run, run
down in the hollow of the deepest dark cave
cover your ears while we blow it all up
you pay for the crime, we let the mother down
keep on growing!

Blank In Time
03:32
|

|
here's a wish, it can't miss
an open ticket to explore
here's a hope for those
who fell head first from heaven to hell
off they come easy, when what's behind is moist
starving just makes for more flow
and it's making me queasy and dreamy
a blank in time
ask you for yours, I give you mine
it's making me queasy and dreamy
so divine
ask you for yours, here's mine
so do as I do, when it flows it shows
it's there in the making
sometimes we'll do it like you will do it
listen and plans will come through
if you want to learn
I'll teach you all there is to know
stick with you into your grave
when you want to bleed
I'll get acquainted with the moon
you can lie on top of me
words, they roll over, like leaves blowing around
and thoughts turn to senses aroused

Blue
03:16

hey blue, oh you sound like a rainbow
you're softer than a breeze
but you're stronger than a love song
came to you and me
and left us feeling lonely
and there's a song, and it moves like a river
flowing out to sea, like a feather from a pillow
from doves flying free, in need of company
and I don't want to be alone
you don't want to be alone
we don't want to to be alone
so why should we be alone?
and I can still hear the sound of your voice
calling out my name to come home
but is it you coming back?
hey blue, you never sounded like a rainbow
you're too strong to be a breeze
and I would much rather sing a love song
with words from you and me
and I don't want to be alone
you don't want to be alone
we don't want to be alone
so, why should we be alone?

hi, I'm calling to hear you
time, slows down
we, together, new
and peace is the best time right now
when white flags are flying
there, you can be strong
here, the wait can seem long
try my reasons for giving my heart, my heart
and I wake to my name called
looking hard for someone not there
did they slip through my window?
I don't feel that normal
I'm looking hard for someone not there
go, you should move on
to arms you belong
and try my reasons for freedom
and sleep is the best time right now
when white flags are flying
|

cut 'em now and get 'em fresh, always
always for you
I was waiting for the right one
gave it up to get some
took heed of the past one
talked it out had fun
grew upon the islands
swam the coral gardens
and the overwhelming beauty
and the well being that it brought me
my rose
