Snowflake

Generation conflict is this all there is
Generation conflict it is what it is

Standing at the bus stop
Waiting for arriva to come

All I wanna do is get home quick
Without any trouble

Minding my own business
Hiding from the rain

Here I am
Stuck inside of mobile
With the Memphis Blues again

Oh no here come the charabanc

An older guy
He glared into my eyes
Imagine my surprise
When he said

Snowflake Snowflake
Go ahead punk make my day

Flick of the wrist
Trick of the mind
In my coat of many colours
I watch the dayglo by

Generation conflict
Is this all there is
Generation conflict
It is what it is

Facts don’t care about feelings
Said someone down the line

I’m surrounded by cross dressing cannibals
Pretending all is fine

Tired of London
Tired of life
Please excuse me while I kiss the sky

Imagine his surprise
When I told him bang to rights
You ain’t ever gonna change me

Snowflake Snowflake

Planet Rock

Gonna tell you something

Is it my imagination
The state of the nation
Alienation rage and guilt
Here on planet rock

Right or wrong
Whose side you on
Here and now is all we got
On planet rock

Gonna tell you something
Even if it hurts
Life is competition
Gotta get there first

Cant afford to live
Cant afford to die
Trying hard to survive
On planet rock

Right or wrong
Whose side you on
Here and now is all we got
On planet rock

Music is love
Music is life
Everything else aint worth the time

Gonna tell you something
Avoid hate at any cost

Is it my imagination
The state of the nation
Alienation rage and guilt
Here on planet rock

Right or wrong
Whose side you on
Here and now is all we got
On planet rock

Go ahead punk make my day

No mouth to scream

Too much paranoia
Too much time to reminisce
Wont someone pull me back from the abyss
Survivors guilt I’m lost in the mist
Got a bad feelin about all of this

I have no mouth to scream
I have no voice to speak
I have no space to breathe
I have no mouth to scream

It doesn’t have to be this way
No it doesn’t have to be this way

My eyes deceived me
I believed my own lies
Its coming from the left
Its coming from the right
I gave away my freedom
Given up on dreams
Life is an endless stream
Of all disaster scenes

I have no mouth to scream
I have no voice to speak
I have no space to breathe
I have no mouth to scream

It doesn’t have to be this way
No it doesn’t have to be this way

Flying

Flying not falling
Baroque in and rollin
Baby I felt it too
I couldn’t love you any more than I do

You think that its all over
But its only begun
Pretty soon we’ll be flying

Lets fly around the world
Then return to airstrip one
Pretty soon we’ll be on our way

Flying not falling
Rockin and rollin
Baby I like it too
I couldn’t love you any more than I do

The earth’s a big blue marble when you see it from out there
Pretty soon we’ll be flying here there and everywhere
Airports of the future zero carbon net emissions
40 shades of green Elysian fields perfect conditions

Flying
Pretty soon we’ll be flying

Flying
Pretty soon we’ll be on our way

Oh Lord Please Don’t Slow Me Down

I’m running late
Don’t make me wait
Aint got time to take a fast train

Oh Lord please don’t slow me down

Give me space
Keep me safe
Let me live to fight another day

Give me grace
Keep me sane
I got a ticket for an aeroplane

Oh Lord please don’t slow me down

Oh Lord I’ll change my ways
Spare my life till some other day

Please Lord no sudden movements
Please Lord no scary stuff
Please show me your mercy Lord
Show me your love

Oh Lord please don’t slow me down

Funky Synth

Don’t you worry
Don’t you worry about a thing

Didn’t I blow your mind this time
Didn’t I show you a good time
Getting down to the Philly sound
Love yourself in the crowd play it loud
Boogie nights are always the best in town

Singing dancing
Moving to the grooving
Makes you happy

Don’t you worry
Don’t you worry about a thing

Low rider come a little closer
Take me out to Ponderosa
Maybe to the monies
Maybe to the park
Happy as a lark gentle as a dove
Walking in the rain
With the one I love

Singing dancing
Moving to the grooving
Makes you happy

Old York

How come everybody love Old York

Margaret the saint
Constantine the great
Jorvik Micklegate
Sweet like chocolate

Is it the barley halls
Is it the city walls
Is it the Vicky vaults
Gothic chic Guy Fawkes ghost tours
No rose without thorns

How come everybody love Old York
How come everybody love Eboracum

Old York
Talkin bout Old York

The age of steam
The railway museum
A day at the races
Two swords and maces

If we can make it there
We can make it anywhere

When you go down there
You’re gonna meet some people there

York Minster
Faith personified
Stone masons and street performers
They got jobs for life

Take in the sounds
Enjoy the sights
Feel free to walk upon medieval streets
Like those feet in ancient times
Lets go to York

If we can make it there
We can make it anywhere

When you go down there
You’re gonna meet some people there

Paper Cranes

Pretty dreams and paper cranes
Wander thru my mind today
Clouding up my skies
Like gentle steam on a window pane

Don’t shout just whisper
There’s a baby in bed
Sleeping on a shelf
In the back of my head

Ghosts
Chase away the ghosts
That go bump in the night
In the ebbing light

Ghost
I laid to rest a ghost
Now I’m planting flowers
Waiting for the butterflies

Palaces tumble
Garden walls crumble
I’m waltzing with an olive tree

Why Change

Why change
When we got it so good
Never want this to end

A new age
Rich and strange
No going back to Winwood Grange
Fame and fortune favour the brave
On the day that we met everything changed

Take my hand
Hold me close
Thru shadowlands
And melting snow

We got it so good
Never want this to end

Why change
When we got it so good
Never want this to end

My brave face
Salad days
Everything is beautiful in its own way
Lets give thanks lets give praise
Cos when we die our love remains

Something borrowed
Something blue
From now on
Live life to the full

We got it so good
Never want this to end

Why change
When we got it so good
Never want this to end

Tough Love

This one goes out to all you soul sisters
And blues brothers that love in vain
The light at the end of the tunnel
Was an oncoming train

Tough love showed me how to pray
Tough love it made me who I am today

Bless my soul its only rock and roll
Better pay the toll to the river boat queen
Paid my dues tired of being used
Got my act together left the malt and barley blues behind
Life’s unkind time out of mind
I’m a sinner that committed no crime
I’m here all alone without a home
Put a little birdhouse in your soul

Tough love showed me how to pray
Tough love it made me who I am today

I’m a teacher not a preacher
Never got to play the Grand Ol Opre
Sunshine get out of the room
My baby’s gone and left me for somebody new
Up and down here we go
Mental health is wealth life’s a rodeo
Tough love pack your stuff
The world is now an open space

Tough love
Tough love

Ok I’m over it the pain fades with time
I can forgive I wont forget
Last night a DJ saved my life
I ignored the proof the blinding truth was
Staring me in the face
Tough love I’ve had enough
Maybe I’ll find love when there’s nothing to do

Tough love showed me how to pray
Tough love it made me who I am today

Tough love dare to believe
In more than you are today
