Without Warning
03:22
|

|
Standing at the station, Waiting for the train
Hope I get to Alabama, Long before it rains
But without warning....without warning..
Heading for the border, Rattling through the plains
Wheels of steel go round and round, the towns had many names
But without warning ...without warning
The sun went down, The sunset through the trees
The moon a million miles high, That’s what a hope I see..
Old cars in the canyons, Poppies in the fields
A swagger in the boxcar, Sure knows how it feels but
without warning...without warning
He jumps from the boxcar, To the ground below
He waves as he staggers, Off along the road
But without warning...without warning

We're Starting Again

I was walking down the road and now I’m old
I was running up the hill and now they are reading out my will
I had to realize that I’m gone without seeing Kazakhstan
I was facing the end of the road, but I’m not old
Doing it all deep from my heart
It’s never too late for a new start
Feeling it all there is no more fight
We’re starting again and this time right
I was wondering down my mind and now I’m kind
I was crossing one big hill and now I can feel
I came to realize that I might make it to Kazakhstan
I was chasing my thoughts once again I think I’m in
Doing it all deep from my heart
It’s never too late for a new start
Feeling it all there is no more fight
We’re starting again and this time right
Time is passing quickly here we go
But it’s not our time yet got a face to show
Let’s make this the best time we ever had
Get up and clean up and live with no regrets
Doing it all deep from my heart
It’s never too late for a new start
Feeling it all there is no more fight
We’re starting again and this time right

Look at the sunset, look at the moon
Look at the one way street, we used to take a taxi to
Minutes are hours and hours are days
Days turn to months and years, and acting to plays
There’s diamonds in the dust but there’s dust in your eyes
There’s healing in your hands but there’s truth in your lies
Now wait till the curtains falls before there’s champagne
Wait till the curtain falls, wait till the curtain falls
Lovers are players and actors are fools
People are sheep who abided by the rules
So look at the sunset and reach for the stars
And dare to be different and be who you are
There’s diamonds in the dust but there’s dust in your eyes
There’s healing in your hands but there’s truth in your lies
Now wait till the curtains falls before there’s champagne
Wait till the curtain falls, wait till the curtain falls

I see the ships smoke in the distance, I feel a lump here in my throat,
I feel an opportunity lost, for me, I am the man who missed the Boat.
I stand alone here on the dockside, I think of Jeannie in New York
I write her letters every evening, It seems she hasn’t time to talk
Long long gone, sitting in the corner of the bay,
long long gone I’m the man that missed the boat
There was a time I thought I knew her, there was a moment long ago
When I could give the whole world to her, but there is something you should know
Time it waits for no one, Or at least it seems that way
Howling at the moon won’t get you nearer, To the things that mean so much to you today.
There’s just dreams here on my pillow, Just like clouds they seem to float. Float away into forever, Like the man who missed the boat.

On She Goes
02:29
|
|||
|
A strange new place
With unfamiliar streets
But she's been here before
And each new face
Of everyone she meets
Convince her even more
So on she goes
Though the folks and the cities change
Yeah, on she goes
But she knows inside we're all just the same
Time after time
Everything she sees
Reminds her of herself
And then she finds
All that she believes
Just mirrors something else
So on she goes
Though the folks and the cities change
Yeah, on she goes
But she knows inside we're all just the same
And she will never
Stay forever
'Cause like the river flows
On she goes
So on she goes
Though the folks and the cities change
Yeah, on she goes
But she knows inside we're all just the same
She knows inside we're all just the same
Different clothes and different names
But she knows we're all just the same

These Boots

I should have got what I didn't get and I shouldn't have got what I got instead.
These boots just don't suit me

Teach Me All
03:03

Theres a price that you must pay,
If you want to steal away
To… some quiet little place
Where the world wont be… in your face
Theres a world outside your door
Where the sun has shone before
Where theres happiness and love
Where theres more than quite enough
Take me there inside your world
Show me deep inside your mind
Teach me all I need to know, teach me all about the world
And show me love and how to love the one im with….
Hold a candle to the wind
Blow a kiss and make it real again
Take a moment to begin
Take a second to relive the taste of rain
Take me there inside your world
Show me deep inside your mind

I'm a Firefighter
03:50
|

I’m a firefighter, fighting the fires
I’m a firefighter, so do what you do and do it for you
The priorities on the playgrounds are right
About trucks to drive and flames to fight
6 years old there is no doubt
We’re heroes born to rescue to climb and fight
10 years on the teacher takes me aside
Takes a shot at my my my teenage pride
He says: “Your wasting your talent my friend
This firefighter dream has got to end”
He’s determined to rescue me
From the graveyard of opportunity
But I missed the parade, the white collar march
My collar stays blue no matter how starched
I’m a firefighter, fighting the fires
I’m a firefighter, so do what you do and do it for you
He’s a clever man but so am I
Another chapter of years goes by
One night I’m called to the scene of the crash
Cut him free from the twisted mash
I’m a firefighter, fighting the fires
I’m a firefighter, so do what you do and do it for you
Life is to ironic to be simple and true
So do what you do and do it for you

The Richmond Centre

Gather round the flame your luminous mind
Though it grows no brighter
For one may carry the weight of the world
Yet for us it grows no lighter
ohh ohh ohh
Our tribal fury lies close beneath our skin
It was a surrogate womb that hope grew within
2 grandma’s ago they buried a son like him
Now there’s a pet shop and a gym
Try as we have to erase every trace
Every echo every space
Still our children’s children
Are uneasy in this place
