Bad boyz

she wants a sensitive man who’ll cater to her needsshe’s cultivated for a precious flower but all she reaps is weeds she’s only introspective when she sleepsblames the universe for her woeswon’t see that she’s a victim of her own actionswhich is how it usually goes

she can cry and complain till the sun comes up but I’ll say what everyone knows

she likes the bad boyzshe likes the bad boyz she likes the bad boyz that don’t faze me at all

she wants a man of conviction wholl go bending knee to propose she wants a man of integrity from his head down to his toes

she can cry and complain till the sun comes up but ill say what everyone knows

she likes the bad boyzshe likes the bad boyzshe likes the bad boyz that don’t faze me at all

shes a victim of her own behaviour and oblivious that it shows

she likes the bad boyz she likes the bad boyz she likes the bad boyz that don’t faze me at all

Enemy lines

don’t need no helpto understand why I’m still alone I lose my keys drive to fastmy lack of focus is well known jailed by my own confines and living life on the shelf islike being left behind enemy lines

life moves alongand often it goes so fastyou plan on children and then blink the moment has passedhad my chance missed the signs now living life on the shelf islike being left behind enemy lines

so kiss your kidsand thank your partnerand count your blessingscause you got more than you knowand while things may not be perfecti would trade you in a heartbeatso will every card carrying member of the singles show

I still have hopethat i will find himill crawl through gunfire and hidden minesi know that he’s waitingsomewhere on a shelfsomewhere in the forest behind enemy lines

Liberate them swans

they’re renovating the pond at my parkwhen it’s done I’m sure the difference will be stark but meanwhile the birds are dazed they’re confused they’re unimpressed and clearly bemused

taking so long and i don’t know whyi must confess its brought a tear to my eye just gets me down to see such distressso could you please come and clean up your mess

it makes no sense to disrupt their lives so please

wont you liberate them swans let the geese run freethe chicks and the ducks think this really sucks

it’s taken so longat such an impostit could be done in less you must surely confess it’s all due to cost

it makes no sense to disrupt their lives so please

wont you liberate them swans let the geese run freethe chicks and the ducks think this really sucks

wont you liberate them swans let the geese run freethe chicks and the ducks think this really sucks

I live in the shadows

I live in the shadowsI serve in silence while the world does revolveI sense where the wind blowsand make my choices which seldom resolve

ill forfeit redemptionfor an hour just an hour of harmonious sleep

time after timeyou send me sign after signit means nothingwhen the life light leaves you and you’re standing alonewhen the life lights no longer your own

we all have our secretsthe impostor is the one who swears he’s guilty of noughti wish that i had noneand that salvation didn’t occupy my every thoughti do believe in demonsbut i refuse to accept that i can barter my soul

time after time after timetime after time after timeit means nothingwhen the life light leaves you and you’re standing alonewhen the life lights no longer your own

Rare by nature

she sits in a room dissecting a watchI sit in a room thinking about hershe’s straight and she’s simple and also complexI wish i could be around her

there was nothing to end but i ended it anywaysabotage in the first degreeshe told no untruths i cannot complainI just can’t forgive me

she’s 5 foot nothingwouldn’t weigh 100 poundsswept away with a light breezeshe’s 5 foot nothingwouldn’t know if I’m aroundshe’s got me down on my knees

she’s rare by nature and she’s rare by nameshe’s the reason songs like this are sungI guess in nature something’s rarely changeI just wishI had my time again

it wasn’t avoidanceit wasn’t an issue of deceitI just didn’t move heramaze or behove her

there’s never much grace in retreatshe’s 5 foot nothingwouldn’t weigh 100 poundsswept away with a light breezeshe’s 5 foot nothingwouldn’t know if I’m around

she’s got me down on my kneesshe’s rare by nature and she’s rare by nameshe’s the reason songs like this are sungI guess in nature something’s rarely changeI just wishI had my time again

love so often is elusivehoped this time it landed on melove more often is conclusiveseems to be my destiny

she’s rare by nature and she’s rare by nameshe’s the reason songs like this are sungI guess in nature something’s rarely changeI just wishI had my time again

Tap that tiger

met a boy last weekhe looked kind of cuteI’m guessing he looks as good in jeansas he does in his bathing suit

took me out to a concertby a twist of circumstanceI had no intentionsbut I knew I wanted to dance because

he smelt so goodhe smelt so good to mesometimes you got to tap that tigersometimes you got to let it be

picked me up in a taxisat in the back seati don’t know what we talked aboutbut man he looked a treat

he smelt so goodhe smelt so good to me

sometimes you got to tap that tigersometimes you got to let it be

don’t know if he smokeshe might like a drinkhe don’t like to cookbut he loves the colour pink

time has passedjust let it godon’t know what cologne he worebut man I got to know

he smelt so goodhe smelt so good to me

Whose going to bury my planet

sun comes up in the middle of the nightand I’m so confusedtree tops are hiding ,leaves are collidingflowers can’t breathe, they’re not amused

fish fly south in the summerbirds swim home in the fallwell you can get so far in a motor carbut when the fumes melt down you gonna have to crawl

well you can lead a horse to water if you can find somebut if not tell me baby, tell me please

whose going to bury my planetwhose going to bury my planet can u tell mewhose going to bury my planetand baby can you tell mewhose going to bury me

I believe in a little indulgencenothing wrong with a little excessbut when the party is overwhose going to clean up the messwell the man on the hill fills us with public relationshis legacy will be multi damnations

whose going to bury my planetwhose going to bury my planet can u tell mewhose going to bury my planetand baby can you tell mewhose going to bury me

it’s not about Saturnit’s not about Venusit’s not about Plutoit’s not about Marspeople won’t you listen to meit’s about mother earth and how she’s sufferingwe’ve got to get back her dignity

well you can lead a horse to water if you can find somebut if not tell me baby, tell me please

whose going to bury my planetwhose going to bury my planet can u tell me pleasewhose going to bury my planetand baby can you tell mewhose going to bury mewhose going to bury mewhose going to bury mewhose going to bury youwhose going to bury me

Intimate moment

heard a line on TV that moved me to the coreit said a ship is safe in the harbour that’s not what they’re built foremotions are the same they’re safest locked awaybut expressing and confessing them is a much better way

I shared a moment that requires preser-vationa baring of the soul approached with much trepidationbut the ears my words fell upon elected to forgivewhile it wasn’t monumental it will be with me as long as i live

it was an intimate moment

our lives are affected in varying degreesby people we encounter I write of one of thesehe took my plan and ran with it and soon I may just smilesimple task for common folk has escaped me for awhile

impressive attributes have no place in this songbut what lies beneath has touched me in a way that is not wrongboundaries won’t be broken there is no reason forbut i thank whatever reason bought me to his door

it was an intimate momentit was an intimate moment

like honey on hot sandhe taught me to unwindthis is my only vehicle to pay him back in kindand when my plight is overand I find a better moodI can leave this reminderof my lasting gratitude

it was an intimate momentit was an intimate momentit was an intimate momentit was an intimate moment

Things i don’t need

one man needs a littleanother needs a lotwe spend so much time looking aroundwe forget just what we gotI could spend a lifetime thinking of things that i don’t needlike a water polo hat or a Siamese cat or a saxophone without a reed

all I need and all i want is youall I need and all i want is youide like a fancy homeide like a faster carsatin sheets on my bedmaybe a Spanish guitar

i could spend a lifetime thinking of things that i don’t needlike a bottomless pit or an underworld hit or yet another mouth to feed

all I need and all i want is youall I need and all i want is you

a trip to the morgue, a Swede we call Borg, a lemon cravat, now who would wear thata healthy supply of poisonous dye, a kick in

the groin, a poke in the eyea shoe full of dirt, well that’s gotta hurt, friends that don’t give, a girl that won’t flirtfrogs without legs, a pub with no kegs, an endless supply of coffee and eggs

all I need and all I want is youall I need and all I want is you

life feels better

sometimes i walk slowlyother times I walk fastthe only difference between the twois noticing who walks past

mostly I feel angrysometimes I feel calmused to be the other way roundwhen you were on my arm

life feels better with you in the roomthe worlds at peace and the flowers bloom

often ill cook dinnerusually I eat outyou used to love my chicken marsalanot to mention my poached trout

life feels better with you in the roomthe worlds at peace and the flowers bloommy puppy was happy now he thinks he’s on crackdon’t think he knows that you’re not coming back

I started learning Italianto occupy my mindit’s all a little bit French to mebut it helps me to unwind

life feels better with you in the roomthe worlds at peace and the flowers bloommy puppy was happy now he thinks he’s on crackdon’t think he knows that you’re not coming back

David May

david may is a good friend of mineI’ve known him all my lifethe same can be said for all of his childrenthe same again for his wife

david may had a sunny dispositionthen one day he heard the newstill then he was pure rock and rollnow he just plays the blues

don’t care how tough you are, gotta make you feel madto find your mama aint your mamaand your daddy aint your dad

gotta make you feel angrygotta make you feel bluewhen you look in the mirrorand you don’t know whose looking back at you

david may took stock of his futurehoped his past would not lead to strifedavid may was a good friend of minebroke me when he took his own life

don’t care how tough you are gotta make you feel madto find your mama aint your mamaand your daddy aint your dad

gotta make you feel angrygotta make you feel bluewhen you look in the mirrorand you don’t know whose looking back at you

don’t care how tough you are gotta make you feel madto find your mama aint your mamaand your daddy aint your dad

Comes a time

comes a time to share the wealthcomes a time to spread the joycomes a time to walk out the doorcomes a point to be pro activecomes a point to face the factscomes a point to lay your cards and sayI want love but you want more

children they need attentionteenagers crave anarchyI need a little of both andyou need little of mewe both like a taste of dangerall the thrill that danger bringsask for a little restraintthen say that I have clipped your wings

seems to me were going nowhereat an alarming speedone thing to execute a problemand another to stay and watch it bleedthere’s a chance to salvage heartachemaintain some dignitywere heading for disasterI tolerate you and you hate me

I will hand you back the house keysyou hand me back my heartwish you only good thingswith these words I now departyou don’t get to reach my ripe ageand think you’re good at these thingsI’ll take the fall for this oneand hand you back your wings
