Reality

Reality
I really rocked the boat shook it up started something
And he told her to kick me out
She had no doubt
What a relief
Then I took her home
They fed her up
They made it warm
You slagged them off
You said they make you brain dead
Out of your head
What about your guru
It's all so fanatical
Can’t you see
'Cause they set you up
And they really cut you off
And they really take you away from reality
Like Charlie with his family
He sent them out to make them See
That love was the gun
Kill for the one
And your be free
It's all so fanatical
Can’t you see
And really they set you up
And they really cut you off
And they really take you away from reality
And really they set you up
And they really knock you down
And they really take you away from reality

Again
You've drunk
you've drunk
you've drunk quite a lot
What does that mean is it what you're saying stop
He's back he's gone what can I do
Don't you see woman it's a game fit for two
And you know what to say when you want control
A subtle yes when you really mean no
You say loosen up
It's only natural
Oh know it happened again
Around and around again
Left right left right
Go where I say
You've got the power twisted again
Head down head down
Looking for piece
A kind of harmony that brings short release
And you know what to say when you want control
A subtle yes when you really mean know
You say loosen up
It's only natural
Oh know it happened again
Around and around again

Who Really Knows

Who really knows
You’ve got someone on your mind
He’s in love and knows your kind
So take him
Take him
I respect your point and how
I didn’t listen to the crowd
‘Cause I know I know
He told me to go away
An act of love who can say
Christ knows
Christ knows
You told me that you are free
If that’s freedom don’t call me
‘Cause who knows
Who really knows
I’ve got something on my mind
Going out to spend some time
With Christ knows
Christ knows

Ordinary Man
03:56

Ordinary man
He'll a be an ordinary guy in an ordinary life
Causes trouble and he gets in the way
Just an ordinary man in an ordinary phase
And he don’t understand but he knows his own place
They really loved you and they beat you in your head
Then turn away they’re sure you’re Ok
Like a dog and they put you in your pen
Said watch the screen
Then take you out on a lead
He'll a be an ordinary guy in an ordinary life
Causes trouble and he gets in the way
Just an ordinary man in an ordinary phase
And he don’t understand but he knows his own place
They really loved to reward you with a gun for future action
Special needs attraction
He’s running scarred
And searching for the smallest
Piece of it all
You say it’s nice and you should be thankful
He'll a be an ordinary guy in an ordinary life
Causes trouble and he gets in the way
Just an ordinary man in an ordinary phase
And he don’t understand but he knows his own place
A little guilt didn’t do know one any harm
Short sharp release handed down belief
He'll a be an ordinary guy in an ordinary life
Causes trouble and he gets in the way
Just an ordinary man in an ordinary phase
And you don’t understand but he knows his own place

Different

Different
We fell into to an unknown space to experience it
With thousand schemes colliding interests a million images
Talking through the day until the night-time comes
Exchanging cigarettes eager playfulness dancing with wolves again
But I gave you my heart
You served up your soul,
Talking of difference want you to know
And be significant
Lay in the road again
Screaming at motorists
Bunking the taxi fare
Trying it on in bed
Being number 1
Then we fell out and went our way didn’t speak about it
With a hundred reasons
A thousand symptoms
200 ways out in the end
But now it’s different
It seems as if it was set in die
A hard one to follow
Hard to open up
Who is the one again
With the cigarette
Did I know him
Well before again
It seems so observed
it seems so different
Just like a convenience
Part of the course
It’s all so different
You’re all so different
You and me
Going our way
Different to what we say
Do it your way,
Do it your way
Different to what you say
The gap between what you say and you think
I never know
I never know

He Goes away

He Goes Away
What’s the fuss
‘Cause he’s so European and what a good catch
He speaks with a delightful manner
So full of he but you saw it to late
And he goes away
Goes away
Captured by men
Who are looking for glory and needing fame
Who stick it in as if it’s a game
Guys like me and guys like you
Who go away
Go away
He said let’s go
To a far away place like Mexico
Where it’s nice and warm and we can grow
Then you said yes and he said no
And he goes away
Goes away
As I run my hand
On your soft blond hair at the nape of your neck
I feel your struggle I feel your strength
I won’t go away go away

Free
03:06
|

Free
I want your magic
It’s so fantastic
When you feel it
When it’s shinning
When it’s giving
And I want your heart-beat
Not your stomping feet
And your jealousy
That’s so famous
That I laid the seed to
That I took part in
keep it in the draw
Cause I’m in you
You’re in me
It’s not possession it was meant to be
And I want it to be free
Can leave all others out
Cause all they seem to do
Is buy their image
Got no songs
Got no gods
Follow with the flock
They're so conservative
Mummy’s little boys and girls
So I sing along
Who knows what’s to come
Certainly not you
‘Cause you know nothing
But I don’t know anything
Cause I’m in you
You’re in me
It’s not possession it was meant to be
And I want it to be free
Cause I’m in you
You’re in me
It’s not possession it was meant to be
And I want it to be free

Holding A Little Back
04:03

Holding a little back
You gave me a look so feminine
How could I refuse you
And you got to the depth of my soul and my innocence
You feed us up taught us to say
Made it your way
And you played us off with ourselves through our ignorance
Patterns emerge any fool can see and there's no dreams
And It's a slippery slide and you're your own paradise
I want to give it all to you always dreamed to do
But if it comes to possession stop and I'll respect you
Just a man in disguise you can see it in his eyes
With a trickery side
And If he's holding a little back it's no surprise
See through me I can't see through you
It's special to you
So I Can't live without you it's not easy to be with you
It's been done before and it won't change
Always stay the same
So now that I know that
It helps too explain

Handed Down

Handed down
Walking Victorian streets
A broken lady
Who hit’s before she thought about
That trust for near gets lost
And it is handed down
It’s handed down
Born to a teenage dream
Raised in a shelter
You had your babies with bad behaviour
Some duplicate of the creator
Then they split
And then they split
‘Cause we know what we have to do
If it's handed down then just say
No thank you
Keep your hands to yourself there’s no excuse
To hit to smack to clout to whack
To hit to smack to clout to whack
It’s handed down, it’s handed down
Sent to the camp on the top of the hill
Where you’re mellowing out
With respect I decline I take my chances
I draw my line of my advances
I draw my line I draw my line
‘Cause we know what we have to do
If it's handed down then just say
No thank you
Keep your hands to yourself there’s no excuse
To hit to smack to clout to whack
To hit to smack to clout to whack
It’s handed down it’s handed down

Easy On The soul
03:11

Easy on the soul
It touches my heart
It lifts me up when I feel difficult
Music so natural
And like a good friend it just floats on by
When you need it
Says hi hi
And when my life is not fulfilled
It's put on hold and I can't reveal
I turn too it
And helps me find the peace that I've been searching for
I feel the ground
Touch the sky
Feel alive
Not to die
'Cause it makes it easy
Really easy
It makes it easy on the soul
It fulfils a need
In me that most could never get near
With those sweet melodies
They take me back to the good-times
Endless stream of good-time
And when my life is not fulfilled
It's put on hold and I can't reveal
I turn to it
And helps me find the peace that I've been searching for
I feel the ground
Touch the sky
Feel alive
Not too die
Feel the ground
Touch the sky
Feel alive
Not too die
'Cause it makes it easy
Really easy
It makes it easy on the soul

Get United
03:01
|

Get United
The child of natural repute that feels
Ejected with a love sketched out
They're building all kinds of truths can't you see
Get united maybe
Bend your goals and bury your mind
Get exited
Nothing is new ‘cause it's all inside
You fall in love and you choose what you see
You’re acting your book of rules you decree
Ego-ness and it' all the time
Get united maybe
Bend your goals and bury your mind
Get exited
Nothing is new ‘cause it's all inside
Get exited
Nothing is new ‘cause it's all inside
