‘TIME’ ALBUM 2019

 

Time  (title track)

 

Verse 1                                  

When the feelings gone 

And the fire’s low

When the cold winds blow

Through your broken home

 

Chorus                      

We’ve got love on the run

We’ve got time on our side (repeat X 2)

 

Verse 2                      

Put your mind far from the cold

So pack your bags, it’s time to go 

There’s a place, I’ve been told

Across the sea, beyond the fold

                                    

Chorus                      

We’ve got love on the run

We’ve got time on our side (repeat X 4)

 

 

 

Dead Wood

 

Verse 1

My mind is sharp and my thoughts are bold

I listen well to what I am told

There is blood in my veins but it’s run’ cold

I’ve got saggy skin and blood shot eyes

I'm looking through rose coloured skies

I'm well healed but I just need more time 

 

Chorus                      

Standing' on the street with my head in my hands

Waiting on lady luck to come around

I’ve had dreams, I’ve had goals,

Now I’m jaded, life’s taken a toll

I hope I don’t die before I’m old

 

(Hannah Jane spoken word section)

 

Verse 2                      

This singing’ game ‘aint doin' me good

I'm out on the heap, like old dead wood

For a moment (there) I was ahead of my time

A new haircut and (wool) suit wont do

I’ve exhausted my best moves

“And only a fool would think he’s nothing to prove”

 

Chorus                      

Standing' on the street with my head in my hands

Waiting on ‘lady luck’ to come around

I had dreams, I had goals,

Now I’m jaded, life’s taken a toll

I hope I don’t die before I’m old

 

 

The Love You Feel

 

Verse 1 

She took me by the hand and led me up the stairs

She kicked open her door with the flick of her hair

She said ‘I’ve go a soft spot for boys like you,

So take a seat now and enjoy the view’

 

Chorus

The love you feel…. Will stop you running 

The love you feel…. Will stop you running

The love you feel…. Will stop you running 

 

Verse 2 

The sacred vales, she danced across the room

Descended upon me to salve my wounds

She’s there for the helpless, lonely and ruined

For where pain and pity dwell, she’s dwelling too

 

Chorus 

The love you feel…. Will stop you running 

The love you feel…. Will stop you running 

The love you feel…. Will stop you running 

 

Verse 3.  

Like a dog she can read me, my moods and my gestures

Her mind like a boxer’s fist hides its true intent

She said ‘we all bath in the sea of others actions’

I know how the scene goes, but not the attraction

 

Chorus 

The love you feel…. Will stop you running 

The love you feel…. Will stop you running 

The love you feel…. Will stop you running 

 

 

 

A Better Place

 

Verse 1

I was once full of the devil 

And you my sad eyed girl

We’ve been running for all so long

With our backs to the world

So we took to the hills 

And looked for gold

There the air was sweet 

And the rivers flowed, the rivers flowed, the rivers flowed

 

Chorus

The world’s gone crazy, it’s clear to see

There must be a better place for you and me

The world’s gone crazy, it’s clear to see

There must be a better place for you and me

For you and for me, for you and for me

 

Verse 1

So come take my hand 

And walk with me

We’ll gaze upon the flowers

And dance with the bees

Let’s drink from this vile

As the sun slips away

Soon our hearts will slow

And the sky turns grey, the sky turns grey, the sky turns grey

 

Chorus

The world’s gone crazy, it’s clear to see

There must be a better place for you and me

The world’s gone crazy, it’s clear to see

There must be a better place for you and me

For you and for me, for you and for me

 

 

Girl From Lonely Town

 

Verse 1

You saw things you shouldn’t have seen

Your ma took a man, but ‘dad’ it wasn’t him

Oh girl from lonely town

You found her love letters under the bed 

So she beat you until you begged

Oh girl from lonely town

Verse 2

Were you the ‘evil’ in that town?

Who took the boys and laid them down

Oh girl from lonely town

Then the rumors went around town

You broke their hearts and you stole their crowns

Oh girl from lonely town

 

Chorus 

You walked in then you walked out

Just to leave…me no doubt

To say ‘no’ is a hard thing

To say ‘yes’ is everything

 

Verse 3

Time has passed and you moved on

God knows you’ve been strong

Oh girl from lonely town

Oh how the toll bell will sound

When they dig and the truth is found

Oh girl from lonely town

 

Chorus 

You walked in then you walked out

Just to leave…me no doubt

To say ‘no’ is a hard thing

To say ‘yes’ is everything

 

 

 

My Girl (Is Your Mind On Fire)

 

My girl!

 

Chorus

Is your mind on fire?

Will you not sleep tonight? 

 

Verse 1

My  girl, your father curses the night I was born

As he pounds his fist and barricades the front door   

My girl, your mother weeps and clutches you at her side

As lightening and thunder rumbles across the night sky

 

Chorus

Is your mind on fire?     

Will you not sleep tonight? (repeat)

 

Verse 2 

My girl, your sister flies through the night

She has already become my servant, soon to be my bride

My girl, your brother dares to stand and fight

But he ‘ain’t gotta’ a hope in hell with that little pen knife 

 

Chorus

Is your mind on fire?     

Will you not sleep tonight? (repeat)

 

 

 

Sorry City Blues

 

Verse 1 

This city will have you believe that all is fine

This city will have you believe their water is wine

They’re building walls and they’re watching you

This city in time will get to you

I

Chorus

n sorry city blues, you can’t refuse 

Verse 2

This city will have you thinking it knows what’s right

This city will have you thinking that black is white

They’re making deals behind closed doors

This city is rotten, right to the core

 

Chorus

In sorry city blues, you have to choose

 

Verse 3

This city will have you convinced that dirt is gold

This city will have you convinced that dreams are sold

They’re hiding cash under the floor

Is this city sorry? Well, I’m not so sure

 

Chorus

In sorry city blues, you’ll always lose

 

When I’m Alone

My favourite time to drink is when I’m alone

I can either get down or move real slow

 

Chorus

When I’m alone, when I’m alone, when I’m alone

 

Verse 2

My favourite time to cry is when I’m alone 

I can either weep inside or let it flow

My favourite time to love is when I’m alone

I can either shout loud or moan and groan

 

Chorus

When I’m alone, when I’m alone, when I’m alone

 

Verse 3

My favourite time to drown is when I’m alone

I can either get sad or burn and explode

 

Outro Lyrics

When I’m alone, When I’m alone, When I’m alone, When I’m alone,  

I can love, I can drink, I can dance, I can laugh when I’m alone. 

I can kick the dog, kick the cat, I can kick almost anything.  

I’m fighting crime and making love

 

 

 

Evening Song

 

Verse 1 

The sky hangs low as winter rain falls

Golden trees turn old and grey

The nights are cold and the days are short

The mornings come and you’re alone

 

Chorus 

Little wing, you’ll fly again

Little wing, you’ll rise again

Little wing, you’ll fly again

And show us the way

And show us the way

 

Verse 2                      

From a twisted twig came your evening song

As you trembled through nights so long

A broken soul so frail, and so small

Yet all on earth could hear your call

 

Chorus 

Little wing, you’ll fly again

Little wing, you’ll rise again

Little wing, you’ll fly again

And show us the way

And show us the way

‘FALL’ ALBUM 2016

 

Sertraline Dream

Verse 1                      

I would often walk the streets alone

With a heavy heart and aching bones

Distraction in beauty, I couldn’t find     

Such was the darkness, in my mind

 

Verse  2

I washed and bathed in misery

As the sickness took over me

I wanted for nothing, I couldn’t see a change

Such was the guilt and the shame

 

Chorus                      

No matter what I say or do

Nothing can heal me like you

Life is free oh like a dream

Well, thank you for saving me

 

Verse 3                      

I knew what I wanted, took what I need

What ever it is was to be free                 

I lived each day in harms way

Such was my need, for better days

 

Verse  4

I didn’t want for no redemption

No forty days or forty nights

My good will and faith was badly worn

Such is the darkness before the dawn

 

Chorus                      

No matter what I say or do

Nothing can heal me like you

Life is free oh like a dream

Well, thank you for saving me, 

thank you for saving me, 

thank you for saving me, 

thank you for saving me

 

 

The Rainmaker

Her heart shows no fear

With the drone of dead wood 

The rising water upon the floor

I’d leave……. If I could

She is the rain,  she is the rain……she is the rain,  she is the rain

You asked me to stand by you

But you take my breath away; you still take my breath away

Don’t throw your life away

Don’t waste time feeling sad

Things don’t have to be the same

And time will judge all the things I’ve done

And all the towns that you pass through 

The people look down on you

Some will stand in your way

While others turn away

Don’t cheat or lie

A life behind bars is never a home

Nor is a life alone

Shame will fill this town

And as the rain falls from above

I’ll take you home my son

And all the towns that you pass through 

The people look down on you

Some will stand in your way

While others turn away 

 

 

Angel by The Lake

 

Verse 1.

You appeared on the other side         

With movements so slow 

Upon the sand, you laid your body down

Your naked body, no shame

 

Chorus

Angel on the shore, what have you come here for?

Angle by the lake, in your hands is our fate

 

Verse 2

You came to us upon the water

Between the shadows and trees

Calling us with your command

Like a whisper on the breeze

Angel on the shore, what have you come here for?

Angle by the lake, in your hands is our fate

Angel on the shore, what have you come for?

A little look my way is all i require

I’m full of the devil and fire

Come now girl, run away with me 

There’s long list of hearts behind me

Pay no mind, to where I’ve been

Look into my eyes; know what I’ve seen

I’m full of the devil and sin

I’ll drink you up, spin you around 

I’ll step aside, let you hit the ground

There’s one of you in every town           

 

Chorus: 

I’m full of the devil and now

Dressed in blue she walks past you

With deep dark eye’s that look straight through

Oh and a smile that cuts the air

And a flower behind her ear

With her you walk into an empty night

Hoping not to fade in her bright light

And praying that she wont leave you there

To walk away with out a care

Cause’ everyone girl wants to be you

And everyone boy tries to please you 

And everyone thinks they know you 

While I sit and wait on you to come……home, to come home…to come home

She’s once and always on your mind 

Her ways and words are so refined

For her and all she is you’ll always care

But she had to go with its pain to bare

Cause’ everyone girl wants to be you

And everyone boy tries to please you 

And everyone thinks they know you 

While I sit and wait on you to come……home, to come home…to come home

 

 

The Professional

 

Verse 1

He’s heading out tonight. To see what he’ll find

He’s hanging in bars until closing time

He’s watching young girls dance with tired eyes

Over whiskey shouts and telling lies

 

Verse 2

He’ll argue across the table as inhibitions fall

A steady stream of cigarettes and pills for all

Should have kept his mouth shut to avoid that bar room fight

Now he’s in the toilets stretching out another night

 

Chorus

He’s either flyn’ or falln’ down

He’s either flyn’ or falln’ down

 

Verse 3

 

He’s good time boy who has the lot

A friend to you if it feels all right

A friend to others to get in tight

He knows to change like choosing a tie

 

Chorus

He’s either flyn’ or falln’ down

He’s either flyn’ or falln’ down

He’s either flyn’ or falln’ down

He’s either flyn’ or falln’ down
