I'm Happy 04:34
lyrics
The Sun is shining in the sky Lifting the mood that's no lie Taking a weight off my shoulders again Haven't felt like this since I don't know when You can keep the acid comments and sheath the fangs It's just the way that my face hangs 'Cos you wouldn't know it but I'm happy again Stay the hell away from me 'cos I'm happy Stay the hell away from me There's a chemical imbalance in my Brain Don't know the reason but don't complain I'm feeling pretty manic if truth be told It makes a change from feeling sad and old If I could put it in a bottle I'd make a mint For now it doesn't matter if I'm skint You wouldn't know it but I'm happy again Stay the hell away from me 'cos I'm happy Stay the hell away from me Don't bring my mood down Don't bring my mood down I don't want you hanging around I don't wanna go right off the rails Barking like a Dog that's got two tails I don't wanna let this fade away I don't wanna jinx this so I say Get the hell get the hell away from me You're bringing me down can't you see? Get the hell away from me 'cos I'm happy

Three Missing Words 03:58
lyrics
I have driven you home tonight through the pouring rain Your hair and eyes were shining bright like you were seventeen again You and I know there were things unsaid As the wheels of my car turned But I can't bring myself to say those three missing words You turned to me as if to speak but the words died on your lips Instead you made as if to reach for my face with your fingertips And you and I stole a farewell kiss as the engine gently purred I couldn't bring myself to say those three missing words They's be so easy to say to a woman like you But there's too much at stake And I can't take them back, even if I wanted to So I'm looking at your coffee cup with the slightest trace of lipstick Thinking words can really screw you up like a two bit fairground mystic As you and I spend this night apart inside our separate worlds I wonder if I'll ever say those three missing words

The Unkindest Cut Of All 04:39
lyrics
God only knows I tried, all my love was unconfined Boundaries ill-defined and now I'm all alone No-one learns from good advice Thinking better is thinking twice Keeping it short and so concise will cut you to the bone It will cut you to the bone, the unkindest cut of all Ever so full of pride, kidding myself I tried I was the one who cried and now I'm all alone Standing proud I took a fall Thought I was someone now I'm small Now I need someone to call Been cut right to the bone It will cut you to the bone, the unkindest cut of all You can bandage an open wound, its obvious all too soon To everyone in the room that you are all alone Take it as read from me my friend Having a good time it will end Love is a spiral twist and tends to cut you to the bone It will cut you to the bone, the unkindest cut of all

Take the Train 05:04
lyrics
She's not the prettiest woman in my life But I'm a lone and lonely with no fun in sight Looking for some loving and some Turkish Delight She is available for me tonight All there is between us is 40 miles of wire and Steel It won't take much to make her feel the way I feel You won't call it love and I won't cause you pain So come on baby take the train You won't call it love and I won't cause you pain So come on baby take the train There's nothing wrong with her that I can tell But not a chance of falling under her spell With no good looks that she can trade or sell There's one thing that she does so well All there is between us is some railway track and gravel It won't take much to convince this girl to travel You won't call it love and I won't cause you pain So come on baby take the train You won't call it love and I won't cause you pain So come on baby take the train I won't cause you pain so take the train I won't cause you pain so come on baby take the train Take the train You won't call it love and I won't cause you pain So come on baby take the train You won't call it love and I won't cause you pain So come on baby take the train Don't need no woman trouble at this time Just need a honey-child to treat me fine And if the cards fall tonight she'll be mine All it takes is a ticket and a railroad line If you won't call it love and I won't cause you pain So come on baby take the train You won't call it love and I won't cause you pain So come on baby take the train Take the train, come on now

You Could Fly 03:44
lyrics
Don't you sometimes wish that you could fly? Just push out your tongue and taste the sky It beats all those dreams of falling down the stairs Or running through streets in your underwear Don't you sometimes wish you could really fly? I wake in the morning I'm so confused i don't know where I've been my body's bruised Suddenly my heart skips a beat That sweet dream's just come back to me. Don't you sometimes wish you could really fly? If I could I would fly to be with you I would circle your house to show what I could do I would persuade you that you could do it too Then we'd fly away together with the sky in reach forever

I'm Coming Home 04:59
lyrics
Yesterday I wrote a letter to my family I can't post it 'cos I'm far out at sea I put it in a bottle and cast it to the waves In case I end up in a watery grave This ship has been becalmed on an ocean that is wide There's no going forward with only current and tide But when our sails feel the breath of a South wind blow I tell you, I'm coming home We're killing time together carving trinkets we can sell From a piece of driftwood and a Sea-Turtle's shell The Captain has a squeeze-box and a thousand Sailors songs To keep our spirits up we all sing along This ship has been becalmed on an ocean that is wide There's no going forward with only current and tide But when our sails feel the breath of a South wind blow I tell you, I'm coming home I tell you, I'm coming home, coming home. I've seen the flying fishes fly From the ocean to the open sky Were I they I'd fly away and leave this ship behind. Occasional breezes rattle rope and flutter flag Lifting up our hopes and our spirits that sag We raise a sail and we're under way again We make a couple of knots toward the Spanish Main This ship has been becalmed on an ocean that is wide There's no going forward with only current and tide But when our sails feel the breath of a South wind blow I tell you, I'm coming home

Teflon Kid 04:52
lyrics
Don't matter what you saw They're all vagabonds and whores Known as the press corps Executive privilige They've seen it all on vid But he can keep it hid A can of worms with a lid They call him the 'Teflon Kid' A walk between the raindrops Weathers storms out of tea-cups Owns the courts and owns the cops Don't matter what he did Keep a clean reputation All across the nation Whatever the occasion They call him the 'Teflon Kid' Call him the Teflon Kid Where you think you're going? You got no way of knowing The rumours keep on growing Bet there's never a slip or skid Everything deniable Watertight reliable Nothing ever Triable They call him the Teflon Kid Call him the Teflon Kid Teflon, Teflon, Teflon, Teflon

Drunk On Lensfield Road 05:27
lyrics
I got nothing in my pockets but holes and fluff Staggering round these streets cos I had enough Like some burned out no-good Grifter when they called my bluff Making my way back to you This time of the night (or morning) there's nothing to do Not a Taxi to be seen, couldn't pay him a Penny or a Sou I take a leak beside a fence, cos I got to Praying you'll tell me when I get home that we're not through Taking it slow... Just another drunk on Lensfield Road One foot in front of the other and I'll get home Somehow... I remember laying on my back but not how I fell down Face up to the pouring rain, Jesus took pity I didn't drown I made it to my feet 'fore the cops came round (Their place 'aint so far from here) Made my way past store fronts and stone faced walls And angry looking guys who didn't seem to have the balls To turn over this drunken bum who didn't have nothing at all Nothing at all worth taking - not even his dignity Taking it slow... Just another drunk on Lensfield Road One foot in front of the other and I'll get home I'll get home...I'll get home somehow

Second Amendment 05:48
lyrics
(Spoken) There are 296 Million people living in America and more than 220 Million Guns. In 1997 there were 10,369 gun related murders. Fathers, Mothers, Sisters, Brothers. Many Americans opposed the Brady Bill gun legislation on the grounds that they did not think they should have to wait 5 working days for approval to buy an assault rifle or a handgun.... God Bless America Land of the free God help anyone Try to take my gun from me I can have a machine gun Says so in the constitution As approved by Thomas Jefferson If he could I know he would God Bless America God Bless America God Bless America Land that I love Stand beside her and guide her With the light of the stars above (Spoken) Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1785 'Gun use gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.' A lot of Americans go along with that. It kind of explains a few things I can have a handgun Says so in the constitution As approved by Thomas Jefferson If he could I know he would From the mountains To the prairies To the ocean white with foam God Bless America With gun and ammo in every home God Bless America God Bless America God Bless America God Bless America Land of the free Free to load to aim and fire In the name of Liberty Huh! God Bless America God Bless America God Bless America God Bless America

Conspiracy Theory 03:45
lyrics
We are the men who sit in darkened rooms Behind closed doors in cigar smoke and gloom Call us 'the Illuminati', call us the 'New World Order' We are the men behind all world events Controlling your daily life and government What we decree gets done or lives get shorter Ah! We changed the weather, you'll notice it soon We faked the Mona Lisa and landings on the moon We got rid of Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe We got a secret zoo with Dinosaurs, a Unicorn and a Dodo We are rich and strong and silent types Avoiding publicity like a Vampire the light (There's a few of those round here, a Werewolf and a Yeti) Oh Aliens are on the Earth but you'd never know They've got Glen Miller and Elvis and they're stealin' the show They got Amy Johnson, Flight 51, nylons and beer a-plenty Oh we rigg elections with relative ease Kick-starting earthquakes and mad cow disease We kept Jack the Ripper out of jail a few times We got the Holy Grail somewhere round here... ...Stained with the blood of Christ Oh we love David Icke, cos he's really one of us A Prince of misdirection always making a fuss Cos truth is stranger than fiction that's what you don't perceive You're all just little puppets - WE will tell you what to believe

about

2007 Album, originally included a cover of Randy Newman's 'Short People' which cannot be included on this site. At the time I think I was getting into Piano playing a lot more, so this album is a bit lighter on the guitar work, (although there are still some nice bits, just fewer solos). My favourite song is 'I'm Coming Home'.
