Trust Trust trust trust trust trust trust Keep your hair on Must must must must must must Keep my head strong But it’s just the way you use it And I think you can’t choose it Give me time of day like yesterday Give me time of day like yesterday Trust trust trust trust trust trust Keep your head on Must must must must must must Keep my head strong But it’s just the way you use it And I think you can’t choose it Give me time of day like yesterday Give me time of day like yesterday But it’s just the way you use it And I think you can’t choose it Give me time of day like yesterday Give me time of day like yesterday

Blank Age 03:50
lyrics

Blank Age When people gathered in the squares To watch the humiliation fairs Wonder how we are still here To count on luck was the only idea Cruelty malice and fear Blank age Grey was the colour of a child Just clones of grown-ups in the wild But when I look in the crowd I see many of them still around And hope it’s not too late Blank age Some got enlightenment some not Took time for hell not to be the judge Walk the talk of walk of indifference Of the psycho shit fired from distance We gotta break the chains Blank age

Decisions Where to go and what to do Where to hide get me out of bed He said help me find me Get me out of here 'Cause I find that you are getting older You are getting colder Before your time Decisions are in him are there to find Get me out of here Look through the trees look through the trees man Look through the trees man It’s not so hard He said help me find me get me out of here Soldier on head down try hard give me a plan What to want should I roam should I stay or should I go I find that you are getting older you are getting colder Before your time Decisions are in him are there to find Get me out of here Look through the trees look through the trees man Look through the trees man It’s not so hard He said help me find me get me out of here He said I just got to work it out before I get much older Become a loner ‘Cause I find that you are getting older You are getting colder before your time Decisions are in him are there to find Get me out of here Look through the trees look through the trees man Look through the trees man It’s not so hard He said help me find me get me out of here

Country Songs 01:08
lyrics

I Wouldn’t Do It All of the thoughts in your mind are yours to stay You don’t have to give them all away I wouldn’t do it I wouldn’t choose it All information is shovelled underground To a source that’s a cloud to be found I wouldn’t do it I wouldn’t choose it Every glance is cut and pasted on Today’s face is just a throw-away bygone I wouldn’t do it I wouldn’t choose it Suited men who design your life on the top Their motivation is a gated cash crop I wouldn’t do it I wouldn’t choose it Look around for a trophy prize of gold With just good jeans that is something to behold I wouldn’t do it I wouldn’t choose it

Frustration 04:49
lyrics
buy track
Frustration You took your load at this time Forced to your knees for that crime And life gave you a pack of jokers Still walking around in circles Still got your spirit in hard times They can’t crush everything inside The outside world already done that Trust in the brothers short lived cut the crap Isolation dragging thinking reeling Seething finding wondering being He gave them space to sort it out Wants to learn and give something back But men of importance pull the wool Over figures that are tattooed on his back School was just paper balls Burning tables and smashed stools And family confusion took its toll A spiral down for this clever soul Isolation dragging thinking reeling Seething finding wondering being Traipsing home induced to fly Was out with the boys out for a fight Past semi-detached wastelands Two worlds clashing in the night Now systems that fuel this collapse Where guidance was just a slap on the back So bird was the final call Now these young men can go to school Frustration binding reeling seething finding crying reeling Frustration binding reeling seething crying being blurring being Frustration dragging thinking reeling seething wondering being Reading hustling keeping feeling turning finding wondering being

Smiling 03:21
lyrics

Smiling Does a river not flow night and day And evolution doesn't stop in haste What with the fires that burn true away And the soil doesn't flood our space 'Cause I'm fine you’re mine do with me as you know I'm fine you’re mine do with me as you want Just as the seasons that come will keep me changing Never say die And keep on smiling Let's take the master that raised the bar Born of creation unfathomable Behold the beauty and its constant ease Sing out the wild ones be in harmony ‘Cause I'm fine you’re mine do with me as you know I'm fine you’re mine do with me as you want Just as the seasons that come will keep me changing Never say die and keep on smiling

Spirit Light 03:40
lyrics
buy track
Spirit Light You built up this tree so tall Upon the sodden ground It seemed safe and sound Seasons come and seasons go And life is formed beneath Crawling under leaves It stands firm and it stands proud And helps you with your view Dependence given too But you went running wild As a beast that roams with lost identity Acting on force That agreed a sleekly passage to nowhere fast You pushed out to be so strong Like your friend the tree Always family Clouds draw in a callous blow A scene from year zero A pallet full of turmoil Winter sets a twisted hue And patience was called forth To wait outside the door But to chop him down Would spite the face and give the rage a seed to chance To slash the bark Would leave a moment mark this disappears alone So kick on out And let your spirit light guide you home

Always Insisting 05:11

Always Insisting She wanted him to move the moon He said I have done it’s over there He said I want you to be a star She said I am one then took a bath She liked the things he did in the past He got an anchor and tied it to the mast We always want the things we can’t have Always insisting on where they should be found She found the chink and gauged all day To open him up wasn’t that the way He said he’s sad when all is obeyed And took it for weakness and it drove him away Friends said they needed a common goal So they held hands and went for a stroll We always want the things we can’t have Always insisting on where they should be found

Ragged trouser Brigade 04:21

Ragged Trouser Brigade To work culprit condemned men of mills and fields You work the face know your face You made the blades so now plunge them Born out of wisdom no good lot You left Southampton for the fields That you could never have dreamt of You’ll taste mud and gore You’ll taste mud and gore Fear not young ones go meet your maker He likes the sons that fight others’ battles With youthful hands that die with grace Ragged trouser brigade ragged trouser brigade They parade in scarlet fever Through the town with pomp and valour Go to war you might as well There’s nothing left to fight here for Fresh off the boat hoarded like cattle Into the bullring they did go They got the shit scared out of them Unlawful mental abuse unlawful mental abuse Blanket cover human flesh They kept their lines did the best Private no one became colonel someone Took a stand and showed no respect Word was out news spread fast Mutiny was called upon They’d had enough of the fruitless struggle That was stuck in the mud stained blood Stuck in the mud stained blood Twenty thousand missing men Escaped to the forest a sanctuary They lived in hollows on their wit With berries and hope no hero Berries and hope no hero The ruling classes promised much An amnesty was talked of But ruling classes deceive too much And no one lived past the firing squad Percy Toplis was hunted down The most wanted man to be crowned Killed without trial by an illegal shot Percy’s story will live on Percy’s story will live on

Knee Jerk Now that’s the icing on a cake a bursted cherry That exploded in the night goes out in a fright Got your knee jerk that came your way Got the bit between your say Was a heart throb now a burn-out And was getting bolder And you had to let it out Had to let them down Maybe love can help you Or universe can take you in Life is simple give it much don’t be a pawn of fate That went out in the night Went out in a fight The more the music beats have Elemental force can shake you

Peasants in the Fields 'Cor blimey my fine Sir I feel so bloody undeserved It seems there’s a rumpus going on here And I just don’t know what is wrong Well all the peasants in the fields are running around in a hump all day Got too much to say All the peasants running around kind Sir Well all the peasants in the fields are running around in a hump all day Got too much to say All the peasants running around kind Sir All the ‘orses ‘ave been fed And the kitchen spotless Sir But there’s something going on down here And I just don't know what is wrong Well all the peasants in the fields are running around in a hump all day Got too much to say All the peasants are running around kind Sir All the peasants in the fields are running around in a hump all day Got too much to say All the peasants running around kind Sir As sure as a tuppence they'll get their comeuppance But they're not about to take it and they'd rather bloody break it They're downing our good tools And they're not about to make it I’ll have them hung drawn and quartered A disgrace like this should be sorted There’s plenty of right arm men that will do They’d be queuing all the way to Timbuktu Well all the peasants in the fields are running around in a hump all day Got too much to say All the peasants are running around kind Sir All the peasants in the fields are running around in a hump all day Got too much to say All the peasants running around kind Sir As sure as a tuppence they'll get their comeuppance And they're not about to take it and they'd rather bloody break it They're downing our good tools and they're not about to make it They're hanging out their colours the ones it says there's others We're hanging out our colours the ones that says it's others

about

The aim of the album was to make a song a day for a month. It was abandoned at the end of a month as to make a song with words and record it all in a day- is almost impossible. I did write about 40 songs most 50% finished . I tookwhat I thought were the best ones and made this album.
