Not One Of The Lonely Tonight

Bring me down to earth
Take this weight from tired shoulders
Kiss me tenderly
Let me drown in waves of your love
You part the trees so i
Can cherish things that matter
Your single voice sounds through
A room of din and chatter
Oh take me home
When the streetlights shine above
Safe in your arms
So simple to me
Safe in your arms
Oh so temporary
Safe in you arms
Oh so tenderly
Not one of the lonely tonight
Flying hectically
Through a cloud of buts and maybes
Passing frantically

Why Look For The Key

And they made the secret pact
His knowledge would be tapped
The link was based on a respect
On their lives they would reflect
A perfect state of non-attachment
Was striven for and claimed as fact
The younger grew and learnt his lesson well
All his ideals were intact
Why look for the key in another
The answer lay in his own heart
Wont find yourself in some other
It always was there right at the start
But power it corrupted
Thats where attachment starts
The power had erupted
The spell will crack
As each mental bond was broken
Strength grew in the young mans heart
What began as love not passion
Had left a seed in his heart

Natural

Everything around is natural dont fight it
Dont disagree with this and that, no
Astrology, evolution, this-and-that-ity
This religion and that, no
Chorus
And if they were not meant to be
Well dont you think they wouldnt be
And if they were not meant to be
Well dont you think they wouldnt be, oh
Your beliefs, philosophy, dont give us peace
Destruction of our enemy does it make us right
And if you took them apart and destroyed them all now one by one
This still wont make it work, no
Everything we like and dont like is whole and natural
I know is doesnt feel like it and the world seems wrong
But if we dont like it now then who can we blame
Blame god, be still, find harmony

New Man

No, he wont go drinkin with his friends no more
Yes, he will do his share of all the chores
He feels guilty about the kids he doesnt see
But hell try to make it up to the family
Yes, he understands you need your room to breathe
Yes, of course hell do the minding in your hour of need
No, he wont start leering when your friends [go/come] round
No, he wont go to those shows when hes out of town
Chorus
Yes, hes a new man, hes the rage
Yes, hes a new man, turned a new page
No, he wont try to make out that hes the boss
He will try to [show a/share the] love, and share the cost
No, he wont override you if youre not in the mood
He will try to adopt a [tender/gentle] attitude
Chorus
Instrumental break

You Know I Love You... Dont You?

You got the socket and I got the plug
I am the floor and you are the rug
I got the rhythm you got the beat
We feel it shake us from our souls to our feet
And you know I love you
You know I love you...dont you
You got the metal and I got the die
We make a structure that no one can deny
I need you and you need me
I need your honey like a flower needs a bee
You know I love you
You know I love you...dont you
No one is an island on that you can depend
A person on his own is a sinking ship
It will be that way til the time will end
Now dont you worry when things get tough
Well stick together through the smooth and the rough
Your the steam engine and I am the tracks
Roll over me Ill be rolling right back cos

Left No Evidence

Out of time and no one noticed
Rubbing up a different way
Out of step but still in focus things to say
Kicking out the social pressure
Holding on to what you feel
Being you was never easy
Sliding off the the ferris wheel
Small was beautiful to you
Things are on a micro scale
Turned your back on power and glory
Yours was such a personal tale
Dancing to a different step now
Choose youre beats along the way
Nothing arrives at youre house packaged
No glittery wrap to throw away
Cutting different shapes and sizes
Bringing tomorrow into today
No one noticed you as you snuck in the sideline and talked in a quiet way
No bullshit no theatrics no pretence and left no evidence
You left no evidence

Dig This Well Deep

With one thing and another
Banged my head against the wall
Always looking over my shoulder
And it makes no sense at all
Chorus
Im going to dig this well deep
Its a promise I must keep
Im going to dig this well deep
cos I want to find water
Im going to dig this well deep
Going to sow before I reap
Im going to dig this well deep
cos I want to find water
Cynics try to hold me in the graveyard of their egos
Put my dreams out with the trashman and they left me on a plateau
Holding on and keeping strong
When you are walking on a tightrope
Holding on and keeping strong
When you are wilted down to your last last hope
See it through to a conclusion even if it leads to nowhere

Specialty

Dont chop off his head
To make yourself look tall
Dont tear a strip off
To make yourself feel wonderful
Who wants to compare
As if this was a competition
Leave that to teachers at school
Must preserve their tradition
bout time you realized
You are a specialty
There is no one like you
Spend your life worrying
bout what you could have been
Cant you like being you
Dont need a scalp
Dont need to be a juror
Take care of yourself
No need to feel so insecure
Waste of energy
To prove a holier than him

When Lovers Confess

In this boat out on the sea
I cant see land
Hiding out and biding its time
Yet its all around
Shimmering sun for day
Jealous moon will prey
On the mind of an unfulfilled soul
Life seems a moment away
Challenging and beckoning
Needing this freedom today
On the night when lovers confess
Chilling winds will blow through this heart
And wont let me rest
Matchwood bridges are doin their best
To keep us apart
Love that was meant to be
Love that was sent to me
In the land of troubles and peace
Life seems a moment away
Challenging and beckoning

Fresh Air Waltz

Looking at you now, you seem just a shadow
You had the energy to recharge our batteries
I suppose your success became your security
Darkness is not what you need
You were the one who refused to give up
You were the one who lifted us, lifted us off our knees
Now its our turn to give you some help
Fresh air thats just what you need
Not the stale bread from the failing bitter table
Its so hard
Wheres the justice we cry
Its there and will follow us til the day we die, til
The day that we die
Looking at you know, you seem just a shadow
You had the energy and you recharged our batteries
Now its our turn to give you some help
Fresh air thats just what you need
Now its our turn to give you some help
Fresh air thats just what you need
Thats just what you need
