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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

Leave Here Running

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.
