Wild Side Paradox:
Feeling good! Was feeling fine I felt it all the time.
The sun was high, the light was bright. Everything was mine
Chorus:
You walk on the wild side baby you walk on the wild side friend
I never saw it coming I never thought it’d end
Your beauty well it stole my heart, your laughter and your smile
Beneath the seas of tranquil blue, we lasted such a while
Chorus:
Call it what you want my love, it lingered in the pain
Foundations laid years before, long before the blame
Chorus:
Tourjours I‘amour, pourquoi la peur?
(Always the love/Why the fear)?
Madness when it strikes the heart allows the wall to fall
Nothings sane and nothings real as demons start to crawl
Chorus:
Jerusalem still visits us in children and in fate
Remember near the Lion gate you didn’t want to wait.
Chorus
Hidden bonds that bind us all are carried in the Soul
Entangled truths corrupt the flow till love connects the whole
I walk on the wild side baby I walk on the wild side friend
I always saw this coming I always saw this end.
Ireland (Orphan’s Song):
(Instrumental Irish picking)
Well I wanted to tell you that I care that you and I belong somewhere IRELAND
Irish made and Saxon raised I lived my life in quite a daze IRELAND
Been away all my life, had a home, two kids a wife IRELAND
CHORUS:
A Mother: I never knew
Father: Where were you
Daughters I’m missing you my daughters I’m missing you
Sisters: What do you do
Brother: Am I like you
Was it Catholic Church and Irish State branded us to our sweet fate IRELAND
Father’s blamed and mother’s shamed, a child’s heart still remains in IRELAND
Loved by those who took us in, gave us their name, cleansed our sin IRELAND
CHORUS:
All around the world I’d roam but deep inside I felt alone IRELAND
When I landed on your shore, felt that I’d been here before IRELAND
The music in the pub rang true repeating history through and through IRELAND
CHORUS:
I don’t know who is me! I’ve no identity
My Life I do accept with all its mystery
I’ll take what is and live, unite and then forgive
Thank the ones who gave me life-I thank the one who let me live (I thank the one she let me live)
There was a time:
There was a time
My little girls
Could see me strong
I was their world
Women beside me (women beside me)
We steered the helm
Before the fog
Did overwhelm me
Oh to sail
Into this
A place called lonely
The dark abyss
Words go astray
What can I do
To love somebody
Whose love you knew
But in the corner
Of Daddy’s room
He shakes and rattles
This house is doomed
There was a time
My little girls
We were so strong
We were the World
.
Daddy’s Little Girls:
I’m your little girl Daddy don’t you know you broke my little heart
I know you loved Mummy. Did you run to try a brand new start?
How do I sleep I love you so
My tears for you say don’t go
You’re no longer my hero to me
Daddy’s little girls
Daddy’s little girls
Live in his heart
I just loved our family everyday I’d like to hear your voice
I’m your little girl Daddy. When you left you left me with no choice
How do I fight the terror in me
The sadness flows so easily
There’s no bird singing in the trees to me
Daddy’s little girls
Daddy’s little girls
Daddy’s little girls
Live in his heart
How do I sleep I love you so
My tears for you say don’t go
You’re no longer my hero to me
Daddy’s little girls
Daddy’s little girls
Daddy’s little girls
Live in his heart
I don’t know why
She wakes up in the dark, there’s panic in her heart
I don’t really know
If love is on her mind, then it’s the cruel kind
Someone has to go
Ahhh Ahhh
I don’t know what to say, you’re closed and far away
I guess our love is done
Is that really true? If only you knew
The hurts too strong to stay
Ahhh Ahhh
Don’t hold onto this accept what is just is?
Try to live-don’t jump from that bridge
The clock was set in time, way on down the line
Please don’t cry- I don’t know why-Do You don’t know why?
Once there was a place, love in outer space
Children laughed out loud
Flowers everywhere and joy in our stares
Till we joined that crowd.
Ahhh Ahhh
Death Of A Family man:
I’m just a pig a monster in your eyes
Another man who lies and justifies
A thug-someone to despise
The judge she says I can read men’s minds
Her teary eyes, your wife she’s so refined
Your build says that you’re unkind
What?
CHORUS:
Doe ray me can’t you see
Yonder dies a family man
What a price lost paradise
Where’s justice in your law?
Ah Your family law just a corporate whore
Lawyers on the game paid to blame and shame
No EQ there Just legalised fear.
I never hit I never tried to kill
Her perjury she bares me her ill will
Judicial games reflect the lawyer’s bill
Take the kids wrench their hearts from me
The family law far to blind to see
I just gave up you never heard my plea
Chorus
Dr Pill:
Hey Dr Pill
I like the blue one’s best
They give the kind of rest
That’s overdue
These endless nights
I always knew
Please give me my pill
Please give me my pill
Hey Dr Pill
I need a hit tonight
To turn down the sight
That blinks till dawn
In this old black dog
I’ve always worn
Please give me my pill
Please give me my pill
Hey Dr Pill
There’s nothing wrong with me
It’s just I been set free
She used to care
The love I loved
That isn’t there
Please give me my pill
Don’t give me my pill
Don’t give me my pill
Don’t give me my pill
How can I say:
In New Delhi there’s a child on the street
Sleeping rough sleeping deep
Is she dead? I can’t say for certain
Have I got what it takes?
Chorus:
How can I say
If I don’t show
How can I trust
Where trust won’t go
In the hall there’s a blue-eyed beauty
Who beckons me with her key
Once inside, will I stay for ever
Will love grow or will it die?
Chorus:
There’s a monk preaching words of wisdom
Peaceful Karma, Kingdom come
I really want to grasp what you’re preaching
Can I find my soul in time?
Chorus:
What really counts is the space that I’m living
Running scared, feeling free
Just escaped from the chains of madness
Am I damned or glory bound?
New Love:
I just phoned to say
At the dance last night
If I said that I loved you
Well I was really quite drunk
New love (you love)
New love (you love)
Arrived too soon
Thank you-Good bye
Beyond Blue/The Burden:
Papa went to war he flew in the skies don’t know what he saw but memories survive
He told me that his time in the desert was fine with peace came the pain, the guilt and the shame
Chorus:
I will wear that for you
I go beyond blue
Her Mother has a picture a man in uniform but he never made it so I was informed
His smiling face stayed in her heart but how do you face it when the end is the start
Chorus:
Om lalalla ahh Om lalala ahh Ahh Ahh
I travelled the world and then I found you. I gave you my heart you gave me yours too
But now it’s in pieces like stars in the sky. You say you don’t love me but why do you cry
Chorus
Our little children, two angels were made. I’m telling you now true love never fades
Don’t carry the burden it’s not yours to own. Live your sweet lives but not all alone.
Chorus:
Om lalala ahh Om lalala ahh Ahh Ahh
Hippy Girl:
I want a hippy girl
Long, long, hair tied in ribbon and lace (hippy girl)
I want a hippy girl
Settle on a farm with her playful face (hippy girl)
I want a hippy girl
Gonna just love me, gonna give me the space (groovy girl)
I want a hippy girl
Rides a horse no Mercedes benz (hippy girl)
I want a hippy girl
Her painted pony by the wooden fence (hippy girl)
I want a hippy girl
She’s always laughing at those suited gents (groovy girl)
I want a hippy girl
Kind of smart with a biting wit (hippy girl)
I want a hippy girl
Her banjo playing Neil Young licks (hippy girl)
I want a hippy girl
Stays with me when things turn shit (groovy girl)
Time goes so fast things I never did things I never lived
Life goes so fast. Love I never did. Love I tried to give.
(Repeat Verse One)
Metaphysically:
Who are we
Metaphysically
Just energy
For eternity
What if you never knew love
What if you never knew love
Where are you
When life is through
And all you knew
False and true
What if you never knew love?
What if you never knew love?
The victory and the glory
Defeat, the sad story
What did you learn about love
The Status and great feat
The suffering and deceit
What did you learn about love
From the rich and the poor
Those you hate and adore
What did you learn about love
From the violent and the meek
The ugly and the creep
What did you learn about Love
So just be kind
To those you find
Who’ve closed their mind
Left love behind
What if you never knew love
