My God What Have I Done
Love falls through my fingers like endless grains of sand
I hurt anyone who loves me, I never learn or understand
Its only when I’ve done this I yearn for what I’ve lost
the ballad of a selfish man forever counting up the cost
I don’t know why I do it a voice just tells me so
I always seem to go with yes when I should go with no
Chorus
My god what have I done well I threw it in the air
fragments of my life are scattered and spread out everywhere
my god what have I done I never meant you any harm
I only wish I‘d thought this through and my mind it would disarm
I cried myself to sleep on a threadbare carpet floor
hoping that you’d have me back, I don’t know what you’d do that for
no unfaithfulness in body although I was in mind
I gave you up so cheapy for something less refined
I don’t know why I do it a voice just tells me so
I always seem to go with yes when I should go with no

Where The Sun Doesn’t Shine
Once ked some people so obsessed with themselves,
they looked down on everyone, it’ a strange way to be
so moralistic but they had none
when it came right down to it they were just like everyone
You think you’re so special, your nothing special at all
I used to miss you, I miss you no more
Chorus
Don’t you come around you’re no friend of mine
you can take it where the sun doesn’t shine
you’re no example of the good or sublime
you can take it where the sun doesn’t shine
I was always there for you, but in my hour of need you were invisible
you’re growing old and bitter I’m just growing old
you’re problems multiply, but mine hove resolved
You’re no singing anymore it all seems so quiet
there’s no way you ca argue because you know I am right
Repeat Chorus
My head is spinning with possibilities, of all the things I might have done if I hadn’t have met you all
all that wasted friendship, all those wasted years, three cheers for everyone transparently so clear
Repeat Chorus
You’re no friend of mine
The sun doesn’t shine
The good or sublime
the sun doesn’t shine

Why Won't You Talk To Me

Why Won’t You Talk To Me ?
This short wave static enigmatic and so strained
Just like our relationship how did it ever get this way
think you’re locked in, didn’t see your orbit change
but I think it’s time for change
why wont you talk to me ?
Time floats around us, you have more time than I
I see so little of you I might as well be blind
you make the decisions and I weigh up the odds
but I love you just the same
why wont you talk to me ?

You Say You’re Moving Away
You can’t explain, why the things all went wrong in your life or perhaps you can
it’s all there for the self aware, don’t need an analyst just to explain all the evidence there.
Everyone hides they’re advised to do this
in a time in the past they knew in their hearts
they would rise up together victorious to fend of the beast.
Chorus
You say you’re moving away
choosing a vehicle of past and the irony’s not lost on me
You say you’re moving away, all locations you chose are a practical dream, a facade
Who are you now ? the monster created you’ve lived with so long and somehow
why shy away, from the obvious reality you can’t fight we’ll all die someday.
Life’s passing by as fast as the scenery from a window observed from you’re seat
sun setting low over ovine and bovine in a field where they’re all easy meat.

Are We All ?

Are We All ?
Pav he lives on a cloud in the sky
finest dalmatian you’ve ever seen
he looks down on the earth below him
thinking what a wonderful its been
You’re not dead until your forgotten
make your mark and you’ll run and run
until the earth it becomes extinguished
by the white dwarf that is the sun
Is this real ?
are you ok ?
are we all ?
(Reeling Away)
The evening sky in itself is beauty ?
as it reflect on the sea below
I want to live just behind the sunset
embracing the sadness I’ve always know
But is sadness a form of beaty
and our fate just a random act
is our destiny shaped by belief
does belief correspond with fact
Is this real ?
are you ok ?
are we all ?

Caroline Walks Away
How many warnings did I need
wrapped up in myself full of conceit
I ignored you locked myself away
in a room full of songs that no one would play
Chorus
I will see myself in a new way this morning
If Caroline walks away
and there’s no one to blame except myself
If Caroline walks away
If she’s seeing someone now
I’d wish her well but I won’t somehow
Sick to the stomach sick to the teeth
all the love she gave
I can’t keep
Repeat Chorus
Please don’t say that we’re past tense
You said I destroyed your confidence
I can’t go on
please don’t walk away
Repeat Chorus x2

The Hand Of Sabazius

The Hand Of Sabazius
Right hand held high we all followed behind
tiny insects appeared in the haze
the scales of injustice were borne on our shoulders
and etched in the deep of our minds
The procession winds on through the streets and the towns
and the people join on from behind
the staff of Hermes it glistens in sunlight
And the lost all hope to be found
Chorus
The hand of Sebazios it blesses us all
passing judgement on the faithful souls
a union with Zeus in the form of a snake
and Sebazios’s hand brings rebirth
The afterlife beckons to all the believers
a nice thought but I have my doubts
fear etched on faces manipulate phases
you’re against it or you’re on their side
Carefully created to form the illusion
of something that’s not of this earth
I want to believe for my own immortality
but given the choice I just cant
Repeat Chorus
The procession winds on through the streets and the towns
and the people join on form behind
the staff of Hermes it glistens in sunlight
And the lost all hope to be found
Repeat Chorus

The Hand Of Sebazios
Hercules was not to know the love potion was lies
but was toxic poison, apparent when he died
his partner was beside herself
her hope of renewed love
Nessus set the trap for her and she wore it like a glove
Never trust another if the knowledge is in doubt
never trust a doubter if they brandish faith about
Some days It goes your way
Wretched Angelina is the lust of many men
scorned by many women less fortunate in looks
divide and you will conquer the ghastly urban scrawl
its not even a dwelling, no its nothing at all
What’s it all for at the end of the day
love will find us wanting another price to pay
Some Days It Goes your way

Rise
Make your obsession to use every single second
all the time that you are here on mother earth
don’t you let depression, apprehension, expectation
undervalue what I know you’re really worth
Don’t be afraid if love shows its face
even if it doesn’t stay for too long
Cherish its feel and know when is real
It will stay when all has gone
These are the days you rise with the sun
look to the sky shield your eyes
take hands away never doubt in heart
take leap of faith and just rise
Make it your vacation to not look back disappointed
upon anything that you have failed to do
don’t let any knockback, shattered dream or a failure
stop you pushing for where you really want to be
Don’t be afraid if love shows its face
even if it doesn’t stay for too long
Cherish its feel and know when is real
It will stay when all has gone
These are the days you rise with the sun
look to the sky shield your eyes
take hands away never doubt in heart
take leap of faith and just rise
