Spacey Little Flower Child
Spacey little flower child running wild
Save me from the house of pain
I wanna see you again
I’ve travelled from exile into sublime
Girl I cant get you out of my mind
You are the star that shines to make a brighter day
All my worries all my fears they disappear when you are near
Its so good inside purpose in my stride
You make me feel alive
Spacey little flower child reconciled
No our love is not in vain
We’ll be together again
I’ve travelled the future space and time
Still I cant get you out of my mind
You are the star that shines to make a brighter day
Though I am so far away
I love you more each day
You restore my faith
So many things I can achieve
Reasons to believe
You mean the world to me
Any day now I’ll return
Home fires will burn
To let the light back in
Gabrielle
You and me my Gabrielle
Sing songs of joy and laughter
Stay awhile my chosen one
I love you long may you run
You and me my Gabrielle
In a trance I wanna dance with you
Lift me on to higher ground
The world is mine when you’re around
In your baby blue eyes I see paradise within
This precious life in the magic of your smile
So beautiful
You and me and Gabrielle
Enchanted in the company of angels
Siren voice I hear you sing
All the good news that you bring
I could kiss your face
Reach a higher state of grace
I can see the truth
Window to the absolute
So beautiful
Baby girl
My baby girl
Love Come Shining Through
Keep me smiling
Come on baby
Alone in the crowd
Don’t you doubt it
You got a problem we talk about it
Love come shining thru
You hold my respect stay together
This world and the next oh now
Hear a voice from above
The message is love
You got a problem we talk about it
Love come shining thru
Faith in the future
Faith in the past
Everything is connected
You got a problem we talk about it
Ooh yeah
Bom bom bombay
Invisible to You
Here in your sanctuary
I feel I belong
Its such a beautiful thing
When you got someone to lean on
The little boats sail back in time
Watch as they ebb and flow
I wish that we could sail with them now
To the ends of the world
I don’t need anybody else to see me thru
If I could not stand the pain
When I’m scared enough for two
I don’t wanna be invisible to you
Outside the children playing
Mothers little helpers in your image and likeness
Such a beautiful thing
Let them play in the house of tomorrow
And when they leave to find new friends and lovers
In their own sweet time they will discover
We are all lonely satellites just spinning round each other
I don’t need nobody else to see me thru
If I could not stand the pain
When I’m scared enough for two
I don’t wanna be invisible to you
No More Goodbyes
No more goodbyes
I’m not leaving you
True love never dies
To yourself be true
And when the dream is dying
Remember that you only fail
When you stop trying
They can take away your life
Take your home
They can take away the things
You call your own
Keep your head held up high
I believe in you
Loves highs travel easy
I’m a star in the sky
Watching over you
When you need me around
I’m holding a torch for you
When you were born
I held you in my arms
Precious baby I’ll protect you from harm
I’ll be there for you
Working towards the light
Fighting for your cause
In some distant lifetime
Your soul forever be yours
No more goodbyes
I’m not leaving you
True love never dies
Start of Something
So long ago seems like yesterday
Only you faithful and true light up the universe
Hand on the cradle keeping me stable
I don’t need anymore
No reason to doubt never sold me out
No one else can compare
This is the start of something new
I see from a different point of view
Closer than nearer
End of an era
You know I speak from the heart
I’m falling apart
Only you can change what I’m feeling spiritual healing
Everything else fades away
The power and glory of this melancholy
Will not desert me anymore
Till there’s nothing left we are bereft
But I still love you
This is the start of something new
As I say goodbye to you
I see from a different point of view
Uncle Salvador
Driving down from Vegas
The world can overtake us
Heading for the hyperbole show
With the mad Catalan
We travel thru Yucatan
The Mayan sunshine state of Mexico
Uncle Salvador
My Uncle Salvador
And we’re feeling so fine
In this rhythm divine
Now we’re dancing in the light of moon dream time
In the citadel town there’s a familiar sound
JJ Cale and temples of boom
Uncle Salvador
Salvador
In the Ivory Tower
Triangular hour
Premonitions of my children and wife
They serve it in chillums
To the heroes and villains
It’s a celebration of life
Salvador
If you say you’re the greatest
They’ll believe it
Forty Shades
I’m on a tour of pleasures
Lunatic with a bag of tricks
Legion for we are many
With a junkyard to fix
What’s your pleasure?
I got 40 shades of green
One nation under sedation
Paying the price for a fools paradise
In a subway station
Can a father forgive the sins of the sun
On the run from his deeds
Your words I can hear
I’m spending the year on vitamin C
What’s your pleasure?
I got 40 shades of green
Nazarene
Where have you been my favourite son
I’ve waited for this moment
For your return to the heartlands
No one told you to live and let live
Loyalty’s the stick they beat you with
Something inside just had to give
Your war is over now come home
Is our fate death or glory
Here’s to life got peace if you want it
I’d like to take you on a journey to the stars
If we could get away
On to Jupiter or Mars or Saturn
One day we end the violence
Let the guns fall silent
Nazarene
Where have you been my favourite son
Hanging out with all the lost boys
What will become of us now
Every day we get a little older
Hand of history on our shoulder
For you and I the war is over now
Come home
Is our fate death or glory
Here’s to life got peace if you want it
I’d like to take you on a journey to the stars
If we could get away
On to Jupiter or Mars or Saturn
One day we end the violence
Let the guns fall silent
Nazarene
So roll away the years
Take away the fears
Outside a new day is dawning
Let the candle burn
For those that cannot return
Have come home
On a journey to the stars
If we could fly away
On to Jupiter or Mars or Saturn
One day we end the violence
Let the guns fall silent
Nazarene
Mean Reds
Mean Reds burning inside
Mean Reds blowing my mind
Staring at photographs with crystal eyes
Faded and torn
Captured in porthole rectangles of black
Wishing you were never born
Words left unsaid and I’m out with the Reds
Lost in the shadow the terrible shadow again
Mean Reds loud and intense
Mean Reds facing the end
Drowning my sorrows cos there’s no tomorrows
No spoils to share
Nostalgia demons with icy cold stares
Creeping up unawares
Emotionally bled and I’m out with the Reds
Spellbound in your shadow your wonderful shadow again
We are the soldiers in foreign lands
Losing the fight to the upper hand
Strung out alone in the junkyard of dreams
Caught in the nightmare of men and machines
So turn out the sun and put away the moon
Now in the darkness our destiny looms
Lifetimes apart now the vanquished have fled
Me in the living and you in the dead
Where are you now?
So turn out the sun and put away the moon
Now in the darkness our destiny looms
And we’re lifetimes apart now the vanquished have fled
You in the living and me in the dead
