In this life
We always seem to find
Some are fine
While others are left behind
There's always funds for war
Never any for the poor
Love will save the day if we choose to do what is always right
There's no other way for you to lay your head and sleep at night
I don't know about you but I feel that this is the only way
And love will save the day
Love will save the day
In this world
No one is better than anyone
Boys and girls
Need to be taught that we are one
Together we can get so much done
Love will save the day if we choose to do what is always right
There's no other way for you to lay your head and sleep at night
I don't know about you but I feel that this is the only way
And love will save the day
Love will save the day

Being with you is where I wanna be
I see within myself things I see in you
So when I say I need some time for me
To let me be, why d'you find it hard to do?
Why won't you leave me alone
I just wanna sing my song
Why won't you leave me alone
I just wanna sing my song
Cruisin' on a Sunday afternoon
In my V6 silver car
Innocently, I might hit 92
Bring the attention of a pesky radar
Why won't they leave me alone
I just wanna sing my song
Why won't they leave me alone
I just wanna sing my song
Why won't they leave me alone
I just wanna sing my song
Why won't they leave me alone
I just wanna sing my song
Why won't they leave me alone
I just wanna sing my song
Why won't they leave me alone
I just wanna sing my song

Pain (feat. Del Malcolm)
04:13
|

I catch the train
In the mornin rain
In the gloomy murk
I go to work
I get so bored
I dream of chords
The day's so long
It ends all wrong
I know all about pain
I'm not sacred I'm profane
These things have always been the same
So don't let me tell you again
I went to school
And learnt the rules
How to obey
Not misbehave
I was programmed
To pass exams
All I was given
To serve the system
I know all about pain
I'm not sacred I'm profane
These things have always been the same
So don't let me tell you again
And love we don't know we don't know
Feelings they don't show they don't show
And love we just don't know
I know all about pain
I'm not sacred I'm profane
These things have always been the same
So don't let me tell you again

You and me, we're not together
Can't touch can't see, this so-called treasure
If you look you'll find it's for real
Ain't that just the way I feel
It doesn't glitter but it's gold
If you take your mind away from the load
Neil Young said "I'm getting old"
I just wanna drive on down the road
I ask you when you say whenever
There's still something you can't measure
The mist and fog I can see through
The shiny metal, that's me and you
It doesn't glitter but it's gold
If you take your mind away from the load
Neil Young said "I'm getting old"
I just wanna drive on down the road
You and me, we'll be together
Live where the summer lasts forever
Sit on the front porch and sing my song
A life in paradise where we belong
It doesn't glitter but it's gold
If you take your mind away from the load
Neil Young sang "I'm getting old"
I just wanna drive on down the road
It doesn't glitter
It doesn't glitter
It doesn't glitter but it's gold
I just wanna drive on down the road

She sounds like a nightingale
I never knew her all that well
She used to live near me
'til a move to Battersea
If I think of all the things
That I did wrong
It wouldn't take much to see
To me you should belong
If I knew then what I know now
You would be mine, there's no doubt
If I knew then what I know now
You would be mine, there's no doubt
I heard she's seen Neil Diamond
And the Puerto Rico island
My life's like a comic strip
I'm at the dock now where's my ship?
If I had only been here earlier, I'd have more time
To put in place the plans I'd need to make you mine
If I knew then what I know now
You would be mine, there's no doubt
And if I knew then what I know now
You would be mine, there's no doubt

I'm just an average man
With no unusual plan
My life's pretty plain you see
No big mystery
Tell me now am I losing it?
Paranoid, just a little bit
Could it be something in my mind?
Tell me why is that I find
When I'm at home
on my own I don't feel alone
when I'm at home
I know I'm never alone
I'm not often on the phone
And rarely on it on the streets I roam
My friends call, arrange for drinks at 9
Go on Facebook, see an advert for wine
Tell me now am I losing it?
Paranoid, just a little bit
Could it be something in my mind?
Tell me why is that I find
Are 5 eyes always watching me?
Tell me now what is it they see?
Are all ghosts always digital?
Do I make sense at all?
When I'm at home
on my own I don't feel alone
when I'm at home
I know I'm never alone
You like this song
But I don't know what's going on
when I'm at home
I know I'm never alone

Get Along (feat. Pammie)
03:19
|

I ain’t done nothing wrong
So why can’t we get along?
Life is hard to understand
Very little works out as planned
Done nothing bad particularly
I’ve been as good as can be
There’s nothing written on my face
Don’t even look at me sideways
I ain’t done nothing wrong
So why can’t we get along?
I’ve been as good as can be
So why does this keep happening to me?
You always make me pay
For the things I want to say
No freedom to express
All the thoughts that I possess
If at first you don’t succeed
Just redefine what that means
If I dare look up and grin
I slip on a banana skin
I ain’t done nothing wrong
So why can’t we get along?
I’ve been as good as can be
So why does this keep happening to me?
I ain’t done nothing wrong
So why can’t we get along?
I’ve been as good as can be
So why does this keep happening to me?

I've been condemned
Even though I've made amends
No reason to pretend
For me it looks like the end
Never in my life have I felt so all alone
But he who has no sin can cast the first stone
There's always something you should know
When you're on death row
Everybody's true colours are on show
When you're on death row
There'll be no suicide, I've still got my pride
It's clear in my mind, who's on who's side
Out in the garden I was sold out with a kiss
So rare in this world this thing called justice
There's always something you should know
When you're on death row
Everybody's true colours are on show
When you're on death row
I agree with Amnesty
We gotta remove this inhumane death penalty
In your next life you'll see what this feels like
What you've done on this trip, we'll see how you find it
Never in my life have I felt so all alone
But she who has no sin can cast the first stone
There's always something you should know
When you're on death row
Everybody's true colours are on show
When you're on death row

Pulled outta Basingstoke
I was feeling 'bout half past broke
Walked past an old man
That's when he turned and spoke
He said "ain't it crazy how there always seems to be a war?
Especially when it's not what the people want or asked for"
And in the White House and Downing Street there are psychopaths
If you look into their eyes, it's empathy they lack
On top of this you know we've still got kings and queens
It's enough to make you wanna scream and sing
I am a man
Driven mad by the state of the planet
And I feel and it's real
I wanna see those criminals vanish
Yeah
I wanna see those criminals vanish
Yeah
Something's about to give
I can feel it under my skin
I'm not afraid to live
That's why I try and sing
Knowing by to my table my family has just begun
My own high sanctuary, my time in the sun
And in the White House and Downing Street are psychopaths
If you look into their eyes, it's empathy they lack
And on top of this we've still got queens and kings
It's enough to make you wanna scream and sing
I am a man
Driven mad by the state of the planet
And I feel it's real
I wanna see these criminals vanish
I am a man
Driven mad by the state of the planet
And I feel it's real
I wanna see these criminals vanish
Yeah yeah
I wanna see those criminals vanish
Yeah
I'm a man
I'm a man
I'm a man
I'm a man

I don't shop at Marks & Sparks
And I'm an owl and not a lark
I feel alive when it's night.
Don't function during the day
Mornings should be banned anyway
Dictators like things on time
Between my flat and my life
Can't decide which is the bigger mess
It'll take so long to get over the stress
I can't seem to go to sleep
And I don't even want to eat
I've aged ten years in one week
And I've been on a losing streak
But the earth belongs to those who are meek
I've aged ten years in one week
Been working for The Man since birth
On treadmill planet Earth
And there's no sign of a rise
Hand me down and pick me up
My tongue's tied, my feet are stuck
I'm outta here
Stuff the wise guy
It's the same old same old
It's stuck on loop mode
Build me a time machine with a secret code
Yeah!
I can't seem to go to sleep
And I don't even want to eat
I've aged ten years in one week
And I've been on a losing streak
But the earth belongs to those who are meek
I've aged ten years in one week
And I'd be happy at 93
But I feel older than I'll ever be
I've aged ten years in one week
And I've been on a losing streak
But the earth belongs to those who are meek
I've aged ten years in one week

Test (feat. Naomi Terry)

Time goes, racing along
So much has gone wrong
Holding on, waiting to see
The next catastrophe
Sometimes it happens to you
Something good comes out of the blue
Up and down and side to side
In time I think you'll find
All your life's a test
Not much time to rest
All your life's a test
Not much time to rest
Love lost such a cost
Dreams battered, blown and tossed
Rat racing round and round
Nose diving to the ground
But then you might acquire
Some things that you desire
Up and down and side to side
In time I think you'll find
All your life's a test
Not much time to rest
All your life's a test
Not much time to rest
Is someone getting the best
Of you and your success?
All your life's a test
Not much time, not much time
No one said it would be easy or free
If anyone has some cheat codes
Give them to me
All your life's a test
Not much time to rest
All your life's a test
Not much time to rest
Is someone getting the best
Of you and your success?
All your life's a test
Not much time, not much time!
