"He's The Keeper"

"He's The Keeper"



He's the keeper
Of the Lantern
Stone Believer-
It's a Passion,
And he knows it
He's the keeper
Hanging wishes
-up upon our stars
As he waits for love
Yes he waits for love.
Flying without a hand
Trying to brave the land
Something about the man
-is about to make a stand!
With nothing but liars and thieves
Trying to purchase thee,
Where are you meant to go
-But fly away - high away.
He's the one knight
On a knackered Stallion
His rusty armour-
So Undervalued,
Does he know that
He's a reason,
He's asleep now
But never gone,
As he waits for love,
Yes he waits for love-
Hanging without a cloud
Hopeing to draw a crowd
If he's willing to take a chance-
-come on people make a stance!
From tiny acorns grow-
All kinds of seekers,
And where are they meant go-
But fly away - High away
In the maelstran of indecision
Shine! Believer!
Find the season
He helped to grow it-
-He's the keeper
Hanging wishes-
-up upon our stars
As he waits for love
Yes we wait for love

He's the keeper
Of the Lantern
He's the message
In the midnight-
Of your madness,
In the backlog of conversations
We never had-
We wait for love
Yes we wait for love.

"Headstart For Happiness"

"Headstart For Happiness"



When I find you waiting hours; oh,
You're there to save my life for our obvious goal
We've got a headstart for happiness
For our part, guess we must be blessed
For this feeling to be so strong
Tell me is that so wrong?
The space between us for days has been so far;
I've spent a lonely week
Now I wanna be where you are
We've got a head start for happiness, for our part
Guess we must be kissed by this force I feel inside
Now I'm not gonna hide.

All the roads that lead to struggles
Bring you back to where you need
Some reassurance in your own depth,
Only you can see, but let others feel
Peace in my mind I'm so happy to find
As I get on my trek with a head start back to you.

When I find you waiting hours, oh
It's my heart, not my head that takes control
And you've got to lead where your heart says go
And this hope that it turns out so
And that's all that you can hope for
Can you expect much more?

Naive and wise with no sense of time
As I set my clock with a heart beat, tick tock
Violent and mild, common sense says I'm wild
With this mixed up fury, crazy beauty
It's healthy to find all these feelings inside
As I get on my trek with a head start back to you.

"Heavy Soul"

"Heavy Soul"



We're words upon a window
Written there in steam
In the heat of the moment
At the birth of a dream
Vapors passing really
So I'm touched by the thoughts
In the fleeting minutes after
The time that we've come
Come and go, you know, where the wind blows
An' though I couldn't define
I can only tell you that I
Got a heavy soul
Tuesdays dressed in shearling
Anchored on belief
In the sunlight on the water
Or rain upon a leaf
And I'm touched by its' beauty
And I hope to touch you too
'Cause I still seek the same things
That I once sought to be true
And you know, that where the wind blows
Tho' I wouldn't be lying, when I tell you that I
Got a heavy soul
It's a joy to know
I've got a heavy soul

We're words upon a window
Written there in steam
In the heat of the moment
Everything is what it seems
Vapors passing nearly
So I'm touched by the thought
That I can't be beaten and I can't be bought
And you'll know...
That where the wind blows
I don't think I'd be lyin'
When I tell you that I
I've got a heavy soul

"Hercules"
(originally by Aaron Neville)

"Hercules"
(originally by Aaron Neville)



All we fear, is fear itself
Check our your own backyard before you check out someone else
Railroad track, in my neighbourhood
Ain't no trains around this place, just ain't no good

And all I know, is what's going down,
When the dealer on the corner looks like the sharpest cat in town
Jungle rule, can't be no fool
Might get caught by the hook or crook, no time for cool

Look out kid, what you did, what you carrying brother
I hope you're clean 'cause the man is mean, don't come another further

We all know the answers, must come out in time
I might even carry some of your load, right along with mine

Thank you ma'am, mister please
But I must be Hercules
I must be Hercules

Like a bird, on the wing
I just wanna be free enough to do my thing
I can feel the pressure, from every side
If you don't wanna help, don't hurt, just stand aside

We all know the answers, must come out in time
I might even carry some of your load, right along with mine

Thank you ma'am, mister please
But I must be Hercules
Hercules
Oh Hercules

Hercules
I must be Hercules

Got your feet, in the sand
Got to be down with the cats in town, but still got the face the man

Talk about me if you please but I must be Hercules
Hercules
Oh Hercules

Talk about me if you please but I must be Hercules
Must be Hercules.

"Here's A New Thing"

"Here's A New Thing"



The place in mind is always sweet
It's wonderful and time to meet
Here's a new thing - gotta change up
Got to let go of the past
For a new thing - for some new ground
Only change will make it last
The hardest thing is letting go
But once you do, life starts to flow

Here's a new thing - gotta change up
Got to let go of the past
For a new thing - for some new ground

Only change will make it last

The dream in mind is always sweet
It's wonderful and time to meet
The race in time - is us to live
The dream in mind is peace you see

If you want it, you got it
You got to get it

"Here's The Good News"

"Here's The Good News"



A clock face ticking on empty dial
I only want what I know is mine
Sound the bells
'Cause here's the good new

Here's the one you been waiting for
Your time has come
Ain't gonna wait no more
Can I get a piece for me

You know when something's up
When it hits you hard
You feel like starting over
Straight back for yards
When everything is everything
And everything you see
Sees us doing all the things
That we want to be

Millions march back on their feet
Still no sign from, a, those who preach
Teach me not
They don't represent me

Here's the one you been waiting for
Don't waste time
Ain't gonna wait no more
Can I get a shout for me

You know when something's up
When it hits you hard
You feel like starting over
Straight back for yards
When everything is everything
And everything you see
Sees us doing all the things
That we want to be

Nothing's new and nothing gained
When all is lost and nothing claimed
Except the parts
They keep for theirselves

Here's the one you been waiting for
Don't waste time
Ain't gonna wait no more
Can I get a shout for me
Can I get a little piece for me
For me
Oh, for me
For me

"Hung Up"

"Hung Up"



Hidden in the back seat of my head
Some place I can't remember where
I found it just by coincidence
An' now I'm all hung up again
Just like a soldier from the past
Who won't be told it's over yet
Refusing to put down his gun
He's gotta hurt someone
He'll keep on fighting 'til his war is won

Waiting for the moment
Keep on looking for a sign

Extraordinary - trying to cease the war inside
Hidden in the back seat of my head
Some place I can't remember where
I found it just by coincidence
An' now I'm all hung up again

"I Didn't Mean To Hurt You"

"I Didn't Mean To Hurt You"



I've heard them all talking, I guess you have too
Adding flickers to the flame
How I've treated you, yes I take the blame
But let me say - that they don't know, the fools don't know
They really don't know that I really didn't mean to hurt you
Oh darling, I didn't mean to hurt you
Please believe me when I say that I didn't mean to hurt you girl

Whatever they tell you, there's more I could say
Lending motion to the wheel
How you built me up when I was falling down, down
But who knows - you just might find, just might find
That I'm just your kind and I really didn't mean to hurt you

An tho' I was looking there for something
Some things have no meaning
While I was looking there for something
Everything had gone

And still as I looked, I lived
And still as I lived, I wondered

"I Should Have Been There To Inspire You"

"I Should Have Been There To Inspire You"


Nothing I'd say or I could do
Could move the mountains from your view
Nothing I see or I could show
There's only darkness now I know
I should have been there to inspire you
Not paint your world a cold, cold blue
I should have been there to inspire you
I could have told you truthful too
[?] that I believed in you

I could have been there within your reach
This is not self pity of which I speak
I never took time to see how you'd grown
I never took the care it takes to know
Never took the time to see what you'd found
But always had the time to bring you down

More than all this I do not know
Only that love is here to show
Someone a world, to be themselves
A place to fall when all else fails
And friends harsh words cut deep and sore
But believe me mine will hurt me more
In those moments before I sleep
When I am truly alone to see

I should have been there to inspire you
Not paint your world a cold, cold blue
I should have been there to inspire you
I could have told you truthful too
[?] that I believed in you

"I Walk On Gilded Splinters"

"I Walk On Gilded Splinters"



Some people think they jive me
But I know they must be crazy
They don't see dey misfortune
Or else they just a little too lazy

J'suis the Grand Zombie
My yellow belt of choison
I Ain't afraid of no tom cat
That fill my brains with poison

I Walk thru the fire
An I Fly thru the smoke
I wanna see my enemies
At the end of my rope

I Walk on pins and needles
An I See what they can do
I Walk on gilded splinters
With the king of the Zulu

Singing
Come to me giddi come come
Walk on gildid splinters
Come to me giddi come come
Walk on gildid splinters

Till I burn up, Till I burn Up, Till I burn up.

I'm walking to my coffin
Drink poison in my chalice
Pride begins to fade
And y'all will feel my malice

Put gris gris on your doorstep
Soon you'll be in the gutter
I can melt your heart like butter
A-a-and I can make you stutter

Singing
Come to me giddi come come
Walk on gildid splinters
Come to me giddi come come
Walk on gildid splinters

Till I burn up, Till I burn Up, Till I burn up.
