when it was raining i went to your house and as usual you were just going out but you said please sit down it was nice to come round shall i tell you what i couldn’t on the phone please sit down CH : your face didn’t change but now the world is strange strange strange your face with the window frame behind and now the world is really out of line i even embraced you i thought that i might put my arms round your shoulders i thought that i might you were just going out but you said please sit down it was nice to come round shall i tell you what i couldn’t on the phone please sit down it was still raining that night when i left and the building was glowing with light when i left what will you dream of now it’s all out of your power do the waiting do the hoping but it’s all out of your power CH : your face with the window frame behind and now the world is really out of line

sometimes love is friendly sometimes love is kind sometimes she is easy leaves the pain behind sometimes love is waiting sometimes love is now you anticipating things may change, but how but we know who we are we know who we are we need a little love we want a little love let’s make a little love love love we need a little love let’s show a little love and share a little love love love love love comes through now sometimes love is inside sometimes love is through sometimes love is outside it’s all the world and you

i knew that you were handsome but did not recall that you were tall your eyes clearer than most pull me, pull me close i knew i was hoping you would take a chance and you would call your voice new in my ear pulls me, pulls me near ch : life can’t be all sad every tide must turn you picked me up, you lift me off the ground you picked me up, you lift me off the ground see the tide turning

i’ve been thinking hard to get the measure of you but thinking won’t pull back the pleasure of you you turned up on the street like something shiny, darling always finding treasure on the road lying on my bed i cannot see the ceiling cos you have covered us in clouds of bitter healing fit to fill my lungs your scorpion death, that stung me always finding treasure on the road ch : lies you told them by the million and i i turned out to be so desperate to believe that things were better than they seemed that i believed i could have loved you more if you had stayed for longer but you had different plans and voices that were stronger the letters that i wrote i know they will not reach you always finding treasure on the road ch : lies you told them by the million and i i turned out to be so desperate to believe that things were better than they seemed that i believed

here i am master of myself you come into my land with a message from the king let’s go and walk a while for we have things to say then when the silence comes peace will have its day (x2)

no song to sing take me to that broad deep opening and throw me in no gift to bring scattered with the dust from that machine no gift to bring CH: take the car let’s drive down to the coast through the trees to the times you love most on that road that winds down to the sea linda’s here lola’s here just we three one holy day no fare to pay please just come inside and step this way all free for you today CH : take a boat let’s ride into the bay lose the land there it goes just a wave in that place the one you love the most linda’s here lola’s here holding close one holy day

you think it’s going to work another little war – oh no, oh no. you think you’re going to win it’s what you are here for – oh no, oh no. the people rising up the people spilling out – oh yeah, oh yeah the people finding out just what it’s all about oh yeah, oh yeah CH : so tell me, what part of this is that is working? What part of this is it we should save? 40 years and more i have been planning my escape lied to from the cradle to the grave you think you’ve got it all you think you’ve got it made oh no, oh no we see the towers fall and everyone must pay oh no, oh no CH : you believe in evil when the mirror shows its face like you believe in bombing for the peace you may believe that bilderberg will hold you in your place but baby we can bring you to your knees we’re swallowing the pills we wallow in the porn oh yeah, oh yeah but it’s in days like these that better things are born oh yeah, oh yeah CH : what part of this is it that is working? What part of this is it we should save? 40 years and more i have been planning my escape lied to from the cradle to the grave shafted from the cradle to the grave dancing from the cradle to the grave dreaming from the cradle to -

om song 04:55
See it is wide See it is tall See it is high Outside the house Over the wall Up to the sky CH : Please come and see Please come and look Please come and see I’m painting such a picture of this dream See it is here See it is now See it is at hand Inside the heart Under the brow Over the land CH Om to the towers, Om to the soldiers, Om the suffering Om to the living, om to the giving, om to the women Om to the mothers, om to the brothers, om to the wounded Om to the rivers, om the forgivers, om the rebuilders Om to the heart, that‘s where it starts, om to the rhythm CH, then : i’m watching till the breaking of this dream See it uncurl Floating like smoke This is a world, yeah, this is, this (Love is all you need)

yellow rose 02:45
behold the yellow rose it’s glowing from behind oh i buy, i buy what i like you see the space in front you feel the space behind oh i buy, i buy what i like you little wreaths of electricity you comfort me you little hearts of yellow in the dark that’s where i pause and stop and start

about

The cover is art light work by my brilliantly creative friend jan hanson.

If it wasn't for Janet Wolstenholme recording me,this CD would never have existed and I wouldn't even consider myself a musician, whatever that is.

We all have songs in us - that's just human, not special. But my songs are not particularly less worthy of an ear now and again, than others'. So that's why they're here.
