"Nature Friends"

"Nature Friends"

All the furry animals, one, two, three
I'd like to hold them close to me
All the furry animals, one, two, three
And hold them close to me

All the little birdies, up high in the sky
I'd like to be like you and fly
All the little birdies, up high in the sky
And be like you and fly

All the little fish, I wish I was like you
To swim up and down in the deep, deep blue
All the little fish, I wish I was like you
To swim in the deep, deep blue

All the fishes and the feathers and the furry little fellas
Are friends for you and me
The fishes and the feathers and the furry little fellas
Are friends for you and me

"Neutron"

"Neutron"

I was born in the rubble of World War II
Played ball where tall buildings once grew
But today there's a way to make war fair
A new toy from the boys in the USA.

Neutron, you're a real estate bomb
The property stays but the people are gone
Neutron, neutron, you're a real estate bomb
The property stays but the people are gone.

You got the boom like a doom atomica
You got the taste like the waste of nuclear
And you fly like a supersonica
You're a likeable kind of bomb.

Neutron, you're a real estate bomb
The property stays but the people are gone
Neutron, neutron, you're a real estate bomb
The property stays but the people are gone.

Neutron, neutron, you're a real estate bomb
The property stays but the people are gone
Neutron, neutron, you're a real estate bomb
The property stays but the people are gone.

"New Year's Resovolution"

"New Year's Resovolution"

Do what you've never done before
See what you've never seen
Feel what you've never felt before
Go where you've never been.

Sing what you've never sung before
Say what you've never said
Bear what you've never born before
Hear what you've never heard.

All is not as it would seem
Nothing ever remains the same
Change is life's characteristic
Bend and flow and play the game
Loose your chain.

Do what you like, oh
Get on your bike and do what you like
Get on your bike and do what you like.

So many times
I was the one who stopped myself from doing things
So many times
I was the one who grounded myself and clipped my wings
So I say ..

Do what you've never done before
For fear of losing face
You have nothing to defend now
In your state of grace.

All is not as it would seem
Nothing ever remains the same
Change is life's characteristic
Bend and flow and play the game
Loose your chain.

Do what you like
What you've never done before
(Get on your bike and do what you like)
You must see what you have never seen
(Get on your bike and do what you like)
Feel what you have never felt before
(Get on your bike and do what you like)
You must go where you have never been
(Get on your bike and do what you like).

So many times
I was the one who stopped myself from doing things
So many times
I was the one who grounded myself and clipped my wings
(Should what you like) and clipped my wings
(Should what you like) and clipped my wings
(Should what you like) and clipped my wings
(Should what you like).

Love is the gift of man, yet he will not receive
Within is the church of man, yet he cannot perceive
Without is the realm of man, he yet cannot conceive
Man is the plague of man, yet he will not believe.

There go you, go I
There go you, go I
There go you, go I.

With no obstacles, and no fear
Liberates herself, from illusion
Now to realise perfect Nirvana
Gone, Gone, Gone to the other shore
O-awakening. All hail.

All Buddhas in the past, present and future
Thanks to this, Perfect Wisdom
Arrive at full and right, universal enlightenment
Gone, Gone, Gone to the other shore
Gone, together to the other shore
O-awakening. All hail.
Nirvana, Nirvana, Nirvana
Nirvana, Nirvana, Nirvana

"No Hunger"

"No Hunger"

No hunger, no thirst
No disease, no pain
No poverty or loss
No loneliness again.

No tragedy, no grief
No sorrow, relief
No egoist in power
No poisoning the flower.

Boys and girls in every land
Go hungry even now, in long lines they stand
Food is burnt to balance banks
Taxes go to purchase tanks
Sorrow for so many, joy for few
They need you, what can you do?

No hunger, no thirst
No disease, no pain
No poverty or loss
No loneliness again.

No hunger.

"No Man's Land"

"No Man's Land"

How do you do, Private William McBride?
Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside?
And rest for a while in the warm summer sun
Been walking all day and I'm nearly done.

I can see by your gravestone you were only nineteen
When you joined the glorious force in 1916
And I hope you died quick, and I hope you died clean
Oh, William McBride, was it slow and obscene?

Did they beat the drum slowly?
Did they sound the pipe lowly?
Did the rifles fire o'er ye as they lowered you down?
Did the bugles play the last post in chorus?
Did the pipes play "The Flowers of the Forest"?

Did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind?
In some loyal heart, is your memory enshrined?
Although you died back in 1916
In that loyal heart, are you always nineteen?

Or are you just a stranger without even a name?
Forever encased behind some glass pane
In an old photograph torn and tattered and stained
And fading away in a brown leather frame.

Did they beat the drum slowly?
Did they sound the pipe lowly?
Did the rifles fire o'er ye as they lowered you down?
Did the bugles play the last post in chorus?
Did the pipes play "The Flowers of the Forest"?

The sun it shines down on these green fields of France
The warm wind does blow as the red poppies dance
The trenches have vanished now under the plough
No gas and no barbed wire, no guns firing now.

But here in this graveyard it is still no man's land
The countless white crosses in mute witness stand
To Man's blind indifference to his fellow man
And the whole generation who were butchered and damned.

Did they beat the drum slowly?
Did they sound the pipe lowly?
Did the rifles fire o'er ye as they lowered you down?
Did the bugles play the last post in chorus?
Did the pipes play "The Flowers of the Forest"?

"Oh Deed I Do"

"Oh Deed I Do"

Now, it makes no difference what you do, I love you, babe.
Well, I need your love, I need it bad, oh deed I do.
Now, you don't believe me when I say I love you, babe.
I wanna know the score, all I want is more, oh deed I do.
I wanna lay you down, prove to you I love you, babe.
I wanna turn you on to my lovin', babe, Oh deed I do.
I got the blues like a Gypsy Dave never has, babe.
I got a jealous dream of losing you, oh deed I have.
Now I can never say I'd ever miss you, gal,
'Cause I'm proud as a king, I wanna hear you sing Oh deed I do.

Won't you break my mind and take your time to love me, babe.
You've shattered my brain drivin' me insane oh deed you have.
And you've taken every thought of love I'm thinkin', babe,
you've hung them high, gonna let them dry beneath the sun.

I'm gonna bend the bones that hold my blues together, babe.
I'm gonna stretch the string that my troubles bring to me each night.
I'm gonna sing a song with words that say I love you, babe.
I say I need your love and need it bad, Oh deed I do.
Now, it makes no difference what you do, I love you, babe.
Well, I need your love, I need it bad, oh deed I do.

"Oh Gosh"

"Oh Gosh"

With your coat of many colours
and the flowers in your hair
you may while away the pleasant hours
to think upon all that is fair
think about it you'll agree
many miracles you'll see
miracles you'll seee ee
you'll see ee ee, see ee ee, ee
With the baby in your belly
and the poems on your tongue
you may chance to see me on your telly
giving love to the newborn one
to look upon and to touch
oh gosh life is really too much
life is really too much
you'll seee ee ee, seee ee ee, ee

"One Night In Time"

"One Night In Time"

This night as cities are burning we lie
Tangled in each other's arms in the sky
I can see no end to our sad aqffair
You turn in your sleep and you say you don't care.

Funny you should sat that
I feel the same on this
ONE NIGHT IN TIME [twice]

Lurid the neon the streets slick with green
Rising I gaze on this sad city scene
In the cafe I remember your phrase
Our love will die on us on of these days

Funny you should sat that
I feel the same on this
ONE NIGHT IN TIME [twice]

Slowly I gather my gear as you sleep
Dirty grey dawn over factories creep
I hear the TV weatherman he say
Someone has taken the pressure away

Funny you should sat that
I feel the same on this
ONE NIGHT IN TIME [twice]

Funny you should sat that
I feel the same on this
ONE NIGHT IN TIME [twice]

ONE NIGHT IN TIME [fade]

"Only The Blues"

"Only The Blues"

When you wake up in the morning
And can't seem to raise your head
You sit staring in the teacup
At the egg upon your bread
And the life that you are living
Doesn't seem to be quite real
You have only what the lonely call the blues
When you're feeling tired and weary
With your eyes cast to the floor
For a loved one who has left you
On a bleak and distant shore
You may think you're being picked on
But you are not the first
To have only what the lonely call the blues
There are no rules to follow
No advice to take
You're the only one who can give
Yourself a shake
Someone will appear
To dispel all your fear
In a funny unexpected way
Then you'll wake up in the morning
With a smile upon your face
And you'll look out on the world
And see it is a happy place
With no memory of misery
You will soon forget
You had only what the lonely call the blues
