"Brand New Start"

"Brand New Start"

I'm gonna clear out my head
I'm gonna get myself straight
I know it's never too late
To make a brand new start

I'm gonna kick down the door
I'm gonna get myself in
I'm gonna fix up the yard
And not fall back again

I'm gonna clean up my earth
And build a heaven on the ground
Not something distant or unfound
But something real to me
But something real to me

All that I can I can be
All that I am I can see
All that is mine is in my hands
So to myself I call

There's somewhere else I should be
There's someone else I can see
There's something more I can find
It's only up to me

I'm gonna clean up my earth
And build a heaven on the ground
Not something distant on a cloud
But something real to me
But something real to me

I'm gonna clear out my head
I'm gonna get myself straight
I know it's never too late
To make a brand new start
To make a brand new start
To make a brand new start

"Bring Back The Funk"

"Bring Back The Funk"

Once upon a time
There was a time, there was
When the brightest half of the sky
Let us know we were loved
And there was a feeling old and gold
And bold
And beautiful
Something noble, something lost
Safe yet curious

When you bring back the funk y'all
Slip up and slide
When you bring back the funk y'all
With no place left to hide
No place left to hide

When not only the wind in our sails
Some magic too
Sometimes we forget
Just how high the moon
It was something bright and fine
And in time
Became the world
It would shed stars and bars
All kinds of hearts
Were together again

When you bring back the funk y'all
Slip up and slide
When you bring back the funk y'all
With no place left to hide
When you bring back the funk y'all
Slip up and slide
When you bring back the funk y'all
With no place left to hide
No place left to hide

When you learn to speak
Whenever you want or need
When you learn to cry
When it passes you by
It is something, something to me now
It is something, something to me now
Give me something, something to me now

Once upon a dream
In the midnight hour
There was nothing like scene
And we thank the crowd
Now its a feeling tame and small
And though it all
I'll look for word
Just one more night exists
Just what if
We dream't for all

When you bring back the funk y'all
Slip up and slide
When you bring back the funk y'all
With no place left to hide
When you bring back the funk y'all
Get up and slide
When you bring back the funk y'all
With no place left to hide

When you bring back the funk y'all
Get up and slide
When you bring back the funk y'all
There'll be no place left to hide
When you bring back the funk y'all
When you bring back the funk y'all
When you bring back the love y'all
When you bring back the love y'all
When you bring back the funk y'all
When you bring back the love y'all
When you bring back the funk y'all

"Broken Stones"

"Broken Stones"

Like pebbles on a beach
Kicked around, displaced by feet
Like broken stones - they're all trying to get home.
Like a loser's reach
Too slow and short to hit the peaks
Yeah, so lost and alone - they're all trying to get home.

As another piece shatters
Another little bit gets lost
What else truly matters - at such a cost?

Like a loser's reach -
Too slow and short to hit the peaks
Yeah, so lost and alone - (like broken stones) they're all trying to get home.
(Yeah, you are)

And another piece shatters
Another little bit gets lost
Tell me what else really matters - at such a cost?

Like pebbles on a beach
Kicked around, displaced by feet
Oh, like broken stones - they're all trying to get home.
Like a loser's reach
Too slow and short to hit the peaks
Yeah, so lost and alone - they're trying to get home.

Trying to get home, trying to get home,
Like broken stones, they're all trying to get home.

"Brushed"

"Brushed"

It's in a stroke of a brush
It's in the wave of a hand
And a view so bright
It turns the world
And makes all right
Yet seems to say
Come what may
You will be what you will
With a brush stroke of fate
You will have to think again
If you touch by it all
Lucky to be brushed by it all -
Than walk a crooked mile
In a worn out smile
That you found on the ground
Somebody else threw it down
Looks like that you're the next bessed in town

It's in a verse that you read
It's in the tune in your head
That makes all light
Turns your world
Illuminates life
And makes you see
All the love within
Is still yet to come out
Like the word - as a bang!
You may have to think again
And get touched by it all

Than walk in single file
In a worn out smile
That you found on the ground
Somebody else threw it down
Looks like you're the next blessed in town

"Bull-Rush"

"Bull-Rush"

In a momentary lapse of my condition
That sent me tumbling down into a deep despair
Lost and dazed so I had no real recollection
Until the rain cleared the air

When you wake to find that everything has left you
And the clothes you wear belong to someone else
See your shadow chasing off towards the shoreline
Drifting into emptiness

There are bullrushes outside my window
And their leaves whisper words in the breeze
Well tomorrow I'll walk to the harbour
And catch the first boat that's coming in

I'll catch the first boat that's coming in

Like a child too small to reach the front door handle
Or maybe just too scared to know what I would find
Now I feel I'm strong enough to take a slow ride
Now knowing when I will arrive

There are bullrushes outside my window
And their leaves whisper words in the breeze
Well tomorrow I'll walk to the harbour
And catch the first boat that's coming in

I'll catch the first boat that's coming in

I do believe I'm going home
'Cos I don't call this place my own
I'm missing what I had, happy times and sad
More than I ever thought could be

Not knowing when I will arrive

There are bullrushes outside my window
And their leaves whisper words in the breeze
Well tomorrow I'll walk to the harbour
And catch the first boat that's coming in

I'll catch the first boat that's coming in
I'll catch the first boat that's coming in

"By The Waters"

"By The Waters"

There's a will there - It's a feeling
Always rushing - To the higher ground
So long you bum - You can get your work done
Come down beside the water sit and rest
Come down beside the water sit and rest
Sit and rest

On a high blown - Hear the sky cry
Hear the world turn - Will you not learn
So long you said - But it's not in your head
Come down beside the water sit and rest
Come down beside the water sit and rest
Sit and rest

Been a long time - Always burning
In a night sky - Many miles by
Come down you bum - You can get your work done
Come down beside the water sit and rest
Come down beside the water sit and rest
Come down beside the water sit and rest
Come down beside the water sit and rest
Sit and rest
Sit and rest
Sit and rest

"Call Me No. 5"

"Call Me No. 5"

I dream't I was falling
I never woke up
I dream't of a warning
A yellow buttercup

I dream't of an old flame
Smoking cigarettes she was
Dancing in a night club
With some other men

I was holding up a drugstore
My gun was soaking wet
From the barrel I was trapped in
That went tumbling over the edge

You can call me... Number 5
Please please my my
Call me Number 5
Call me Number 5
That's why I'm still alive!

The barrel cracked up open
I was swimming for my breath
I knew I wouldn't make it
She watched me catch my death

So I switched on the TV
Saw me reading out the news
Another story of a plane crash
Another story of bad news

The TV cracked up open
My baby boy came out
I was looking at my new wife
I ain't writing home about

You can call me... Number 5
Please please my my
That's why I'm still alive!

I boxed around a sliver ring
With blood stains on my face
I cut the dog with yellow teeth
And drove his car away

You can call me... Number 5
Please please my my
Call me Number 5
Call me Number 5
That's why I'm still alive!

"Can You Heal Us (Holy Man)"

"Can You Heal Us (Holy Man)"

Crystal words that hang so fine - But none will stop us falling
Pulling faster all the time - Powerless to warnings
If you feel the hand of God - Can you guide it holy man?
But you are only flesh and blood - Waiting too for judgement

Still saying! Daddy don't weep Momma don't cry
Everybody gets their time
Don't be sad don't be blue - Pray for me
I'll do the same for you

Split the Father and the Son - Hand words to ease them
If you have the hand of God - Can you heal us holy man?
But you are only flesh and blood - Waiting too for judgement

Still saying!
Hang on tight hang on strong
How much longer can this go on
But don't be sad don't be blue - It's one more thing sent to confuse

Daddy don't weep Momma don't cry
Every fear must have its time
Don't be sad don't be blue - Pray for me
I'll do the same for you.

Can you bring the hand of God?
Can you stop the killing?
Get us back to hope and love - Never more be needed

Still saying!
Bloods gone bad bad to worse
Worse to bad and back again
But don't be sad don't be blue - It's one more thing sent to confuse

Momma don't weep Daddy don't cry
Every fear must have its time
Don't be sad don't be blue - Pray for me I'll do the same for you.

"Close To You"
(originally by Burt Bacharach and Hal David)

"Close To You"
(originally by Burt Bacharach and Hal David)

Why do Birds, suddenly appear,
Everytime you are near?
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

Why do stars,
Fall out of the sky?
Everytime you walk by
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

From the day that you were born
The angels got together and decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the guys in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

From the day that you were born
The angels got together and decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the guys in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

Just like me
They long to be

Just like me
They long to be

"Clues"

"Clues"

I'll meet'cha on a bus at dawn, an open top one if it's warm
And if the flowers are in bloom, I'll lose myself to you

I'll be whistling down a street, you'll hear our footsteps start to meet
Then the craziness begins
An' like chalk and cheese, yeh we'll shoot the breeze
Yeh, headed up west in an open top deck
Oh trying to remember just what for

Then we'll talk for hours and hours about nothing much at all
With your long hair falling down, falling down, in curl after curl

And I too shy to ask what I really want to do
Racked with my own self doubt, I stumble and fall
Like a fool in love, my mind in the air
Heaven knows where, yeh, heading up west in an open top deck
Trying to remember just what for
