Alchemy 04:13
ALCHEMY Set myself to find a wild heart That wants no more than just to be On a clear new morning I will make start And pass sleepy towns under the cover of stars From the northern country Where saints live in the works of art To the Strait of Messina oh the colours I’ve seen A rare find like diamonds soak the mud, the earth A rare find, the science of words Set myself to find a wild heart That wants no more than just to be An eagle that knows no cage no dark Unchained like a note from the old noble wind Sees out of the now with a lens focused so sharp Then bows with good grace to a cruel passing time A rare find like diamonds soak the mud, the earth A rare find, the science of words A rare find A blood red sky a whispered breeze Metals ablaze and the elements are free Running wild like horses will Across the country their gold will fill And up to the mountains as far as eyes can see Its’ Alchemy A rare find like diamonds soak the mud, the earth A rare find, the science of words A rare find For all is you and all is me A rare find.

TRAVELLING ALONE Nothing but an engine moans When you’re travelling alone Nothing but an engine moans When you’re travelling alone I looked for you in city halls And every corner of the road Like a reckless gale you’d been and gone Left me the last one to know So I point my finger towards the sky And say any way the wind blows I point my finger towards the sky And say any way the wind blows Round here the rumours and the gossiping They don’t allow me to let go So it isn’t a hard call to make Should I stay or should I go When I find my destination I’ll sing peaches and champagne When I find my destination Peaches and champagne Well I might find the song that’s right And what a story to be told Until then I don’t mind I don’t mind Travelling Alone
3.
ACROSS THE SLIPSTREAM Here where the white buffalo roam Galloping free across the slip stream Teasing the desert blue that knows not what to do Looks up & sees them motionless like big kestrels in mid- flight Singing you’ll never catch me no you wont But I’ll always need you to be near Even the brakeman could not stop This force of nature across the slipstream And when the restless buffalo begin to travel The desert kicks the breeze into a storm Like two jealous lovers that want so much each other And they cannot stand the letting go You’ll never catch me no you wont But I’ll always want you to be here Even the brakeman could not stop This force of nature across the slipstream Now what I’m trying to say to you is this Though I’ll always need some time to roam Some space to be alone The indelible spirit of that big blue sky Is in every song of love I sing Every song of love I sing Every song of love I sing for you
4.
Down & Down 04:14
DOWN & DOWN Tonight I will see you In the face of every passer by While I’m standing on the corner By the laundrette on Vine Swinging on a guitar Gripping it tight Yes I will be singing the blues Howling at the moon Sometimes I play from memory Sometime I sing what I see But always at the core is a picture of thee I want for to let you know Simple things I could not say So be it night time or be it rain I will sit right here and play Yes I will be singing the blues Howling at the moon Oh you can find me singing the blues And the reds and the greens All the colours start to show Well it’s all I’ve got For to let you know And the rain falls to the ground Like my tears roll down and down
5.
Blindsided 03:55
BLINDSIDED Tell me all about it Your big dreams I understand Sometimes we get side tracked Sometimes blindsided You don’t always have to go it alone You’re just so used to it now I know how it goes But talk to me you don’t have to You don’t need to be hurting, still hurting Stay a while, come on stay all night We’ll dance in my kitchen till the morning all right I’ll sing for you Thunder Road I know all the words I know all the words Plain as night I want you to see That for some of us This melancholy will always be there, be there So when you’re out there on your own In your car or maybe getting to work And you can’t find no reason Just remember that somebody’s thinking about you And you don’t need to be hurting still hurting So you got blindsided A victim of the smash and grab So you got blind blindsided Who did hurt you so bad I cannot make it undone But I know how it feels I know how it feels

Breakers 03:44
BREAKERS I belong far from this city Take me where the breakers are free to roam If it’s my tears that feed the ocean I think it’s getting hungrier year to year But I’ve got high hopes for the future Yes I’ve got high hopes for myself The breakers set something off in me The breakers, spilling surging energy Know I never meant to cause you sorrow But there comes a point where I just can’t stay But you know I will always be there if you need me You can consider me on call Maybe it’s this infinite sadness That makes me long for the suck and heave Its sets off a rhythm that controls me A restless abandonment that I want more and more and more The breakers set something off in me The breakers, spilling surging energy The breakers In transit just a passenger a wave upon the sea Pulsing of the tide teaches me to breathe The cold cold water pulls me in The cold cold water knows That I never felt more alive I never felt more alive I never felt more alive The breakers set something off in me The breakers, spilling surging energy The breakers

Animals 04:44
ANIMALS Say Yes! It should be so easy To greet each other with open arms Ring the bells of solace And let the answers call But instead we’ll chase the hours that come between us So scared of the letting go And we’ll scramble for those lofty heights of privilege Though we are owed nothing at all Like animals sifting through the darkness With gnashers primed and ready to play their part Like animals we tear ourselves apart Say Yes! It’s all-ahead now For a brand new start, nothing could get in the way Nothing but those signs that read “More, there’s always more!!” Put up by those rascals Those rascals from the land of rogues Chieftains in white shirts that go planting dirt in our dreams For the profit in fear they go sharpening spears and then say ”help yourself brother” Like animals rummaging through the trash cans Scavengers unruly from the start Like animals that scavenge in the night time We ask for it we break each others hearts Like animals ... savages!
8.
Blue 03:18
BLUE Anywhere you want to go Anything you want to do I’m on fire yes it’s true I’ve got nothing but love for you When your day is moving slow When you feel like letting go Bring it to me and I’ll sing you Just the perfect tune I’ve got nothing but love for you When things go wrong with you It hurts me to It hurts me to Please don’t hesitate to be Everything you need to be I want you just the way you are I want you just the way you are Sky’s on fire sky so blue I’ve got nothing but love for you Sky’s on fire sky so blue, blue, blue I’ve got nothing but love for
9.
Driver 02:44
DRIVER Follow that line of sight Until you get To the foot of the mountain Then you climb up a step Snow blankets the pathway And you may start to regret You think you’re at your breaking point But you’re nowhere near it yet Drive on driver you’ve a story to tell Hard to remember what’s on the other side When you’re fingers are numb And your lips are dry You might say no no no !!! I cant take this anymore But you find it from somewhere And you dig some more Drive on driver you’ve a story to tell Dark sky starts knocking And the rain pours down Take another step driver, Wipe the sweat from your brow You can learn to whistle You can even learn to sing When you’re knee deep in winter Springtime don’t mean a thing Drive on driver you’ve a story to tell Some argy bargy Is inevitable When you’re tight on the corner You’ve got sleet and cold There’s some tough competition out there Load up your shepherd’s sling You’ll be glad you went through it all When your train pulls in Drive on driver you’ve a story to tell
10.
LEAVE HERE RUNNING 11 hours under cover of the dark Waiting for that sun to kiss the sky While the wind of the North East It did leave teeth marks upon my skin I was reeling, heart broken Oh better days, days far and gone I found out Like the anchor knows When it hits the bottom Lying dead on the floor And there’s nothing but the cold, cold cold water Keep it under and pulling it down Waiting for someone to through down a line What if that line don’t come What if that line don’t come So I said I’d better leave here running And get back on top You’ll see me fly I’m silver lightning And there aint nothing Gonna make me stop Seems the devil himself had never fallen farther I had been riding trains In the company of card sharks and thievers But I pulled it out though Right up from the ether Socking my palms I said “alright, here we go” It’s time I’d better leave here running And get back on top You’ll see me fly I’m silver lightning And there aint nothing Gonna make me stop To ask why is to live The instinct tells you to kick Keep working to understand Keep trying to be a better man And so it turns a brand new page A chance to rewrite and arrange Drawn from life with open arms I welcome in the Marvel Age.
