| A GLASS UNKISSED | ALL THAT SURROUNDS ME | |
| Lost touch, long ago, It didn't end so well, I know Lashed out, had a row Don't know where home is for you now Your drink should not have stayed undrunk You should have drunk it down with your prayers I showed no mercy to you then No mercy when Chorus A glass unkissed by human lips A glass untouched by human hands A glass unbroken cut the skin 'Till we bled A glass unkissed by human lips A glass untouched by human hands A glass unbroken cut us both 'Till we bled Lost all in the end Threw out the suffering of a friend Let's hope life is kind And will deliver peace of mind Forgive this crazy one Her crazey time in hell She keeps her silence now And means you well Chorus |
Smells of toast and coffee served to put
in mind his name today Never did take much to get me thinking about him anyway In time I may progress to welcoming the coffee’s scent At present I have no such strength. Is there no poetry, no melody to comfort me, To blur these images, etched upon my memory. My stereo is where I go to let the sunshine in, But every note’s like one from him. All that surrounds me, Won’t let him go, All that surrounds me Won’t let him go. If falling rain could only wash away my memories Then I would welcome rain and never let it bother me From my windowsill I’d watch the drops and then begin To picture him soaked to the skin. All that surrounds me, Won’t let him go All that surrounds me Won’t let him go Won’t let him go Won’t let him go. |

| BOUNDARIES OF YOUR MIND | BREATHING HOPE | |
| Save a little of your energy Spend a little of your time with me What is it that holds you here to me? You must be moved by something that you see Strains of magic in the moonlight hours Render useless all your earthly powers Souvenirs of childhood haunt your face It must be that they've fallen from your grace And the rage burns inside Like a cage, thats open wide Empty now but once it held The boundaries of your mind Privacy and loneliness They overlap sometimes, sometimes Subtleties betray you everywhere That's a secret you forgot to share Like how auburn still brings out your guilty streak And seemingly it adds to your mystique Moody silhouettes you soon replace With swarmps of passersby that flood your space Your superficial scars you can conceal There are others left with wounds that will not heal And the rage burns inside Like a cage, thats open wide Empty now but once it held The boundaries of your mind Privacy and loneliness They overlap sometimes Empty now but once it held The boundaries of your mind Privacy and loneliness They overlap sometimes And the rage burns inside Like a cage, thats open wide Empty now but once it held The boundaries of your mind Privacy and loneliness They overlap sometimes Save a little of your energy Spend a little of your time with me What is it that holds you here to me? |
I heard music lighting up my darkness I felt the phrase melt away my sadness A melody as potent as wine I let it sweep me out of my depression I let it point me in a new direction Breathing hope on this life of mine Now who could fail To let it touch the honesty, within them And who could help But be comforted inside It took a harmony to heal the bad times It took a rythem to release the sunshine Even then, it took me so long To break the silence I'd resigned my life to To break down barriers I'd shut my eyes to Releasing me from all that was wrong Now I don't try To understand the way it moves my spirit That is why S'pose I'll never know How a subtle change of key Can do these things to me And make me feel, like I feel I heard music lighting up my darkness I felt the phrase melt away my sadness A melody as potent as wine I let it sweep me out of my depression I let it point me in a new direction Breathing hope on this life of mine |

I Is his hair still as long? Are his eyes still as blue? Can his face still conceal Every clue to his mood? Does his brow still display Every beat of his heart? Did he ask after me? Did you send my regards? CHORUS Or did you tell him that I’ve died in every way that matters? And did you tell him how I cry with every day that passes? That I am raw and bruised and torn That I can’t function any more Well, did you tell him that? II Well I’d tell him myself But I don’t have the nerve And I know, to my shame, This is all I deserve But I hope for my sake You were not indiscreet If he asked how I was, Hope you lied, through your teeth REPEAT CHORUS And if he didn’t want to know Oh, my friend, don’t tell me that Did you never speak my name? Did he never even ask? REPEAT CHORUS |

I My home town’s dear to me, it’s always in my sight (but) My city’s shadows walk around in broad daylight They’ll even shoot a woman down for what she writes So now you pay for civil liberty with life CHORUS So hard it’s easy to lose hope for everyone So bad it’s easier to never take it on But we can’t give up And we can’t lose hope And we cannot hide away We can overcome But we must be strong And we must not be afraid II You must not ever stop the search for peace within Cause if you find it, there’s no better prize to win In losing peace of mind you’re losing everything Don’t draw away from it whatever shape you’re in CHORUS So hard it’s easy to lose hope for everyone So bad it’s easier to never take it on But we can’t give up And we can’t lose hope And we cannot hide away We can overcome But we must be strong And we must not be afraid III With all our songs and stories we have brushed aside The very nature of a beast we tried to hide With all the ugliness this city has to fight How could we leave it to a mother and a wife? CHORUS So hard it’s easy to lose hope for everyone So bad it’s easier to never take it on But we can’t give up And we can’t lose hope And we cannot hide away We can overcome But we must be strong And we must not be afraid We must not be afraid We must not be afraid CHORUS But we can’t give up And we can’t lose hope And we cannot hide away We can overcome But we must be strong And we must not be We must not be afraid We must not be afraid |

| An act of God has struck us An act of faith sustains us But it seems hopeless And I feel helpless to you An act of man has hit us Worse than any God And I can’t shield you And I can’t shelter you,but If you’re in need of comfort I will do what I can If I can’t feed your body I’ll soothe it with my hands If I can’t ease your hunger I’ll give you all I have To nourish and love To nourish and love To nourish and love The country drenched in fever The"Princess Alice" leaves her But I can’t send you And I can’t hope to save you The hunger on this Island’s Spread to every door And I can’t shield you And I can’t shelter you,but Repeat CHORUS |
I find myself, a little bewitched by you I find myself, a little begulied I find my friends repeating your name Then I find myself doing the same Chorus: Finding myself lost again Finding myself lost again losing myself by what I find Finding myself loosing my mind I praise myself, for having made a life alone I praise myself, for working so hard I give my praise where praise is due I'm swapping that praise in praise of you Finding myself lost again Finding myself lost again losing myself by what I find Finding myself loosing my mind It seems that I have taken quite a shine to you And its seems that I'm in a mood to seduce It seems that you have read my mind Must be that we're the loosing kind Finding myself lost again Finding myself lost again losing myself by what I find Finding myself loosing my Finding myself loosing my Finding myself loosing my mind |

| FIRE OVERHEAD, THE | FOR YOU | |
| Fire’s burn, turning into dust What was precious, what was pretty paradise Fire’s burn, burning to the ground. What was healthy what was holy, what was life. If you think it’s hot now, If you hate that heat You think it’s bad now, wait and see, You think it’s close now as you sleep within your bed. Check out the fire Check out the fire Check out the fire overhead. Children grow, playing with their toys Acting out their fairytales in play Children play, growing with the noise Of television teaching them the way, And while you’re sometimes scared now If you see the flames You think the smoke’s from far away, You read the papers, saying the fire will not spread Repeat Chorus Sweet the light, glowing neon blue Of havens offering shelter from the storm Sweet the sound, crackling in the grate Of firelight, welcoming and warm But if you think it’s safe now, If you feel at ease Your safety’s hanging from a thread Before you’re happy, having locked your doors at night Repeat Chorus |
For you, for you The moments I steal You Know they don't heal The way I feel for you For you, for you The things that I say They give it away The way I feel for you You know I need your precious time To keep me going To keep me going and to stop it from showing And you know I need you by my side To keep me hoping and to stop me from knowing That someday in someway I'll make you fall for me And sometimes I'll make you mine And make you feel for me The way I feel... For you, for you The moments I steal You Know they don't heal The way I feel for you For you, for you The things that I say They give it away The way I feel for you You know I feel alone these days I'm thinking about you I'm thinking about you, I'm dying without you You know it's more than a passing phase Been too long without you I've been too long without you, crying about you But someday in someway I'll make you fall for me And sometime I'll make you mine And make you feel for me, The way I feel... For you, for you The moments I steal You Know they don't heal The way I feel for you For you, for you The things that I say They give it away The way I feel for you |

| While I'd like a glass of whiskey, It will not change my mind. So if it's offered for that reason, Or if you're just being kind. Chorus I will go to my own sweet bed tonight, I won't try to explain. I will go to my own sweet bed tonight, It's much too hard, to explain. So take some comfort in that whiskey, It's often been my friend, And if it warms a lonely body, Well who's to say it's bad. Repeat Chorus If kindness takes a little longer It's worth the extra time, Some have lives so long in darkness, They don't even recognise the light. Understand, there's a child in everyone, We should watch what we say. Everyone has their battles and their pain, Hidden somewhere away. Repeat Chorus |

How often have we cried, for love that died Our tumbled pride on the floor So let's take care, of our affair And let's not dare ask for more It isn't quite love it isn't quite romance Still, here it is It's got to be worth a chance Let's close our eyes Let's pretend It's not quite love, You're quite a friend It's not quite love But it's worth a chance |
I You said you’d win me over I said you never would You said you’d wear me down, well, Never thought you could II So how did you make me love you? You’re not even my type You tore down my defences Against my best advice CHORUS (And) Now you tell you you’re leaving Now you tell me you can’t go on Now you tell me you’re leaving Now you tell me Now you tell me III I’d built my walls around me Out of common sense My natural inclinations Were my best defence IV I thought my heart was safe ’cause I kept it out of your sight So how did you steal it from me? Have I no legal rights? REPEAT CHORUS V I wish I’d never lost my head I wish I’d stuck to what I said It wouldn’t be me here cryin’ now I suppose I’ve made my bed And about those tears I shed It shouldn’t be me here cryin’ It shouldn’t be me here cryin’ REPEAT CHORUS AD LIB. |

With the days that lie ahead me I'm hungry to remain Still I know it's best to go 'Cause nothing's going to change Eyes that held so much for me Are holding things from me now Like the harmonies That life will not allow Is it so forgotten? Does it run so deep Is it so forgotten? Like the promises we keep Like the promises we keep Like the promises we keep I feel so broken Feel so broken I feel so broken I feel.......... |

| SAIL ME HIGH | SHE HAD IT ALL | |
| I’d love a little light to come my way Come my way and shine down on my bones Wash me with a little sun Drown me in a beam of gold A little salt water would be nice Nice to feel it on my toes Time to loosen out my hair Shake the sand out of my clothes Take me out on the waves and sail me Sail me high and let me go Sail me to the sky and let me go From a tiny boat below sail me high and let me go Losing track of where I’ve been S’been the thing I like the most Loosening up wasting time Drifting up along the coast Coloured silk above my head Heading out across the sea Floating out beneath the clouds Flying high upon the breeze Take me out on the waves and sail me Sail me high and let me go Sail me to the sky and let me go From a tiny boat below sail me high and let me go Take me out on the waves and sail me Sail me high and let me go Sail me to the sky and let me go From a tiny boat below sail me high and let me go |
I She’s graceful to the eye Elegant and tall To see her walking by, You’d think she had it all. But I see her all the time now A little red around the eyes now Even so, it doesn’t show ’Till I hear it in her words there Just a little bit slurred there, Then I know, I know … CHORUS That she’s drinking again, Started sinking again What’s she thinking of then? Well I don’t know. But she’s drinking again Started sinking again What’s she thinking of then? Well I don’t know. II None of this is new It all went down before When she made it through I thought she knew the score But she’s nothing left to hope with And it’s such a lot to cope with Even still, I think she will, She’s trying really hard now, But letting down her guard now Until, until … REPEAT CHORUS She dreamed of being so fine, She dreamed of having someone by her side And even when her dream had died, She dreamed that she could somehow make it right III Lipstick smudging her face Hair all over the place They say she’s a disgrace But they don’t know If she’s drinkin’ a lot And if she says that she’s not Is she able to stop? Well I don’t know REPEAT CHORUS |

| SLEEPLESS | SLIPPING AWAY | |
| I wasn’t the kind to ask questions I wasn’t the kind had the time, I wasn’t the kind with a suspicious mind Now I’m kind of sorry, oh how I’m sorry It’s not what you did has me sleepless It’s not what you did has me aching so much, It’s not what you did that is hurting the most It’s the lies that you told, covering up Chorus Please, please don’t say how much you think of me Please, please don’t say how much you cared Please, don’t say that you’d never lie to me Spare me those lies you’ve prepared. I’m not above feeling foolish I’m not above being betrayed I’m not above, singing stories of love, But God how my stories have changed It’s not what you did has me sleepless It’s not what you did has me aching so much It’s not what you did that is hurting the most It’s lies that you told me, those lies that you told me. Repeat Chorus Repeat Chorus |
Someone said they’d light a candle Another said they’d say a prayer It would take more than that to save him now It would take more than that somehow The nights go by so slowly Suffering robs him of his sleep He rescues what little life is in his hands Taking what comfort he can Slipping away, oh how he’s suffering with it Slipping away, how hard it’s been Saving the life he can save Drinking every aching mouthful Slipping away Slipping like sand through your hand Heaven holds no higher promise Than release and sweet relief Even relief would be a blessing now Even release would help somehow Kiss good-bye to sounds of weeping Kiss good-bye to tears of pain And if you can pray then pray for what he’d chose Cause there’s not a God that would refuse Slipping away, oh how he’s suffering with it Slipping away, how hard it’s been Saving the life he can save Drinking every aching mouthful Slipping away Slipping like sand through your hand Slipping away, oh how he’s suffering with it Slipping away, how hard it’s been Saving the life he can save Drinking every aching mouthful Slipping away Slipping like sand through your hand Slipping away, oh, Slipping away |

| He comes to me and sets my thoughts astray He comes to chase the midnight blues away He's sweet to taste and strong to touch And with his second sight He steals away the lonesomeness of night It seems that heaven's looked on me and smiled It sent the sun in place of candlelight Tumbled out my wildest dreams Tossed away my worst Has heaven sent a blessing or a curse He talks to me, but nothing does he tell He talks, but keeps his secret safe and well Still I cannot help but reach for him With these helpless hands of mine So I hug him close and pray to God he's mine He comes to me and sets my thoughts astray He comes to chase the midnight blues away He's sweet to taste and strong to touch I find myself inclined To hug him close and pray to God he's kind I hug him close and pray to God he's kind |

| TERRITORY OF POETS | THERE'S MORE TO THIS WOMAN | |
| He's tired of getting up Tired of life Tired of working at the same old job And tired of his wife. Overcome with a desire To come of age Better step aside for Johnny 'Cause he's come to take the stage Take the stage He's in the territory of poets Movin' slow He's in the territory of moving But not knowing which way to go. He hides the ring that's on his finger Made of gold He's in the territory of poets And he's doing what he's told What he's told Johnny's looking 'round the bar For a dance Once he sets his eye on Sally She doesn't stand a chance Though the lines that he's rehearsed Pass her by When he asks her for a date She says, "Friday would be fine. How 'bout nine?" He's in the territory of poets Movin' slow He's in the territory of moving But not knowing which way to go. He hides the ring that's on his finger Made of gold He's in the territory of poets And he's doing what he's told What he's told Sally's putting on her dress Half past eight Johnny takes a little line of something Just to keep him straight Through her shadow and her blush She shines through She says her powder makes her feel much better He says his does too. His does too. He's in the territory of poets Movin' slow He's in the territory of moving But not knowing which way to go. He hides the ring that's on his finger Made of gold He's in the territory of poets And he's doing what he's told What he's told |
I Something came along And stopped me right in my tracks I’d tell you what it was But I can’t be exact II But it filled me with strength And it held me intact When it blessed me with courage And shamed me to act III I’m unable to establish The moment in time When swallowed in rhetoric And dressed up in rhyme IV I went and faced the music And all that entailed The right on my side gave Wind to my sails CHORUS When it’s time, let it go, You’ve got to let it go. When the time has come, you have to let it go V You took me for granted You took me for mad And you know you took advantage Of the trust that I had VI It shocked me to notice The mess I was in It hurt me to find out The fool that I’d been VII I know you always Underestimated me There’s more to this girl Than the girl (that) you see VIII You thought that when you’d gone I’d be fallin’ apart But there’s more to this woman Than a woman’s heart But there’s more to this woman Than a woman’s heart REPEAT CHORUS IX There’s a time to be faithful There’s a time to be brave I was trying to rescue Struggling to save X Every little piece of What was left to me here Every little shred Of all I held dear XI Until piece by piece And bit by bit I gathered them together And I made them all fit XII Until standing tall And feeling strong I’m facing the future And my life goes on And then life still goes on REPEAT CHORUS |

| TO ONE WHO DIDN'T KNOW YOU | PLACEHOLDER | |
| I When I asked you how you’d been You told me you were fine But I knew it was a lie Because I could see the lines Of tiredness on your brow And the tension in your eyes II Yet to another’s face There would have been no trace Of trouble in your day To one who’d never seen The shadow of your dreams Or the strangeness of your ways CHORUS To one who didn’t know you Or want to touch and hold you To one who didn’t need you Who’d never learned to read you To one who didn’t love you, Wasn’t aching just to hug you You’d look fine To one who didn’t know your crazy mind You’d look fine. III I knew you’d have a friend Waiting in the bar ’Cause that’s the way you are She looked like she was kind And spoke with strength of mind That had served her well so far. But I hoped that she was tough And wouldn’t hurt too much When you’d decide to go And I swear I almost died When I saw in her eyes The image of my own. REPEAT CHORUS CHORUS To one who didn’t know you Or want to touch and hold you To one who didn’t need you Who’d never learned to read you To one who didn’t love you, Wasn’t aching just to hug you You’d look fine So very, very fine To one who didn’t know your crazy mind You’d look fine. |

| TRAPPED INSIDE | PLACEHOLDER | |
| The black and white Is clear to see It’s shades of grey Are puzzling me Shades of feeling like My body’s buried deep, Half asleep, half asleep. It’s a very deep hole, With very steep sides, I can’t climb out I’m trapped inside It’s a very deep hole, With very steep sides I can’t climb out Lord knows I’ve tried, But I’m trapped inside You know I’ve tried, But I’m trapped inside. What is it with me, I make no sense Why is it I talk in future tense. When I’m s’posed to sing My voice it goes to shout "Can’t break out, I can’t break out". Repeat CHORUS All my climbing up has me nowhere, All of this can get too much to bear All I’m tryin’ to do is mend this beat up heart That’s a start, that’s a start. |

| WEATHERMAN, THE | WHERE DID MY LIFE GO? | |
| Keep the weatherman sweet, Then begin sweeping the driveway. News is that the heat’s Coming in, Thursday or Friday. Now I’m a little slow to see How weatherman’s words are gonna satisfy me Words can change my point of view Only if they prove to be true Seven inches of rain, I believe it’s gonna get wetter Seven days of the week. Hopes are high it’s gonna get better Now, I’m not in the hoping game That’s a kind of a pity and a bit of a shame But hope can be a two-edged sword And a luxury that I just can’t afford Twelve days, snow would spread the cold around Twelve days heat would melt the snow on the ground Twelve days sun is what I’m looking for now Twelve days grey what’s in store. Keep the weatherman sweet Then go off, buy an umbrella Go and wait for the sun Go and dream beautiful weather I’m much too old for dreams Now that’s a little bit sad, But not as sad as it seems When dreams have been a thorny crown It’s not so sad when they’re tumblin’ down |
Champagne it flows like water Cocaine like drifting snow Everynight’s a party yes I know But I can’t stop or turn the tide And my feelings I can’t hide Could you tell me, where’d my life go Could you tell me, where’d my life go High living is my weakness Gets me high when I am low And my friends all criticise me yes I know But I can’t stop or turn the tide And my feelings I can’t hide Could you tell me, where’d my life go Could you tell me, where’d my life go Don’t try to change my ways I’m happy I want to stay the way I am But could you tell me, where’d my life go Could you tell me, where’d my life go Someone tell me, where did my life go |

| WHERE IS THE HEALING | WHISPER A PRAYER TO THE MOON | |
| I look for comfort in the arms of every friend
that I have known, I long for poetry to sweep away the clouds above my soul. I let myself believe that these will be my saviours till the end. And so, on them I depend. On them I depend. Chorus Where is the drug? Where is the healing? Where is whatever will ease this pain? There is nothing I won’t swallow To stop what’s eating up my brain And get my feeling back again I hear tortured voices buried deep inside of my head, I have restlessness and anger as a pillow for my bed. I hope it won’t be long ‘til I can prove myself to be Untarnished by what’s followin’ me What is followin’ me? Repeat CHORUS What of the prayers that seek to comfort one who’s losing her love, What of her mother’s cries that surely she has suffered enough. And when he’s gone where is the justice in a child that knows his name As a photo in a frame A picture in a frame Repeat CHORUS Where is the drug? Where is the healing? Where is whatever will ease this pain? There is nothing she won’t swallow To stop what’s eating up her brain And get my feeling back again Where is the drug? Where is the healing? Where is whatever will ease this pain? There is nothing we won’t swallow To stop what’s eating up our brain And get our feeling back again Where is the drug? Where is the healing? Where is whatever will ease this pain? There is nothing they won’t swallow To stop what’s eating up their brain And get their feeling back again |
In case of loving unreturned Unrequited fingers burn Don’t you blame yourself at all There is no blame,there is no crime This madness happens all the time No one there to break your fall I understand how hard it’s been I’ve been there too and I have seen What running after love can do That feeling deep down in your soul That searing,empty,gaping hole Has dug a hole in my life too My darling,my darling So crazy,so charming It’s just that it happened too soon But I send you my wishes My hugs and my kisses And whisper a prayer to the moon In case you’ve lost your faith in life In case you cannot sleep at night Be certain this will take it’s toll I recognise those waves of pain I’ve known them time and time again And would not wish them on a soul Repeat Chorus In cases lying by your door A life is packed to go once more There was no intent to deceive Please bear no grudge,just bear your soul It’s hardly bearable to go And barely possible to leave My sweet tempered angel I wish I were able To heal all the hurt with a tune And if I had the powers I would give you the stars The sun and the light of the moon Repeat Chorus Repaet Chorus I whisper a prayer I whisper a prayer I whisper a prayer to the moon I whisper a prayer I whisper a prayer I whisper a prayer to the moon |

| YOU'LL HEAR BETTER SONGS (THAN THIS) | PLACEHOLDER | |
| You’ll hear better songs than this With no trace of clumsiness Melodies and harmonies that compliment the rhyme Favourite songs that reminisce Speak of times of happiness Sentiments that make you warm inside You’ll hear voices pure and fine Voices far surpassing mine HItting notes I’d never reach and never will I s’pose Phrases I could never play You will hear them any day Played by people wearing younger clothes But this song has a prayer to you No other song on earth can do This song swears my love for you Until the end of time If you need to hear the blues Go put on those other tunes If you need my love, go put on mine You’ll hear better songs than this Songs so full of loveliness I would not compare my songs to anyone of those When I need to play the blues I will play those other tunes But I will say I love you with my own This song has a prayer to you No other song on earth can do This song swears my love for you Until the end of time If you need to hear the blues Go put on those other tunes If you need my love, go put on mine |
