Don’t Fit No More
Every day
I mended the fences
And mounted defenses
But I don’t fit no more
Every day
I climbed up the mountains
And swum in the fountains
But I don’t fit no more
CHORUS All the things that you say
All the things that you do
They’re all blown away
With the new day
I have made a fresh start
Jumped onto a new path
No need to look back
Cause I don’t fit no more
After all if things were so bad
Why aren’t you glad
That I don’t fit no more
After all
Lives needed changing
Moved re-arranging
Cause I don’t fit no more
CHORUS
BRIDGE New days, new nights, roll on with the better life
I have emerged, strong and free
Nothing to hide, from in is now outside
Stand up be tall &join in the world right now
Even now
The lines that you say
The cards that you play
Don’t fit no more
Even now
As you summon your horses
To hang draw and quarter
They don’t fit no more
CHORUS

This Is What I Do
There is a soundtrack playing in my head, for everything
It’s just the way I’ve always been
This is what I do
This is what I do
Survey shows, no category, for me
Is there a category for you
What would you choose
I walk the world and sample as I go
There’s always hope that I will never know
What slips through
This is what I do
Sometimes I think, I hit the mark, but then again
So much to hear, so much to choose
While in the groove
That’s when I go and take a look around
Clear my head and let the sound
Come right through
This is what I do
This is what I do
SOLO
I take a drive, to way beyond, the city lights
Stare up at the endless sky
I feel alright
When my head gets full, to overload, with all the news
When there’s nothing left to lose
This is what I do
The music moves like wind across sand
I stretch right out and grab it with my hand
Some slips through

It’s Love Again
Love is something we all need
A thirst with no release
Burnt before, can’t wait to have it back
Spins the world or makes it stop
You think that you’re in charge
Don’t be so daft, you sure are not
Of course, two sides
The glue that can divide
The coin that flips our feet to clay
Takes charge, command
And then you have no say
No rules today
CHORUS It’s love again
It’s love again
The pleasure and the pain
It’s love again
Even when it feels so right
The best thing in your life
It can pick you up, toss and let you go
Something that we all chase
And we will seek into our graves
Without restraint
One night, reveals
Everything is not a dream
The ghosts arrive and they do howl
Once more, it seems
You can’t get enough
Of all the pain
CHORUS
Just when you think you’re past it all
It wraps you up, running through your veins
And you know, like before, yet again
It will take you away
And drive you insane
CHORUS

When we are together

When we are together
split in two everything reminds me
shadows on old walls
another night sleepless without you
i turn as if to talk
notes and photos in my wallet
memories of all things
the calendar that flicks beside me
'til we link again
CHORUS
I’ve arrived
we’re OK
sometimes we’ll be together
sometimes we’ll be apart
it doesn’t matter when beating with one heart
When we are together
When we are together
My love
one kiss and we both knew
it was time to begin
signals coming through clearly
ready to respond
travel to amazing places
places that are dreams
swim in pools of pure emotion
power and energy
CHORUS
i search for shape i search for meaning
in the chaos that life brings
you take my hand, you stand beside me
calm and complete
my world is a far better place
when i wake up with you
with so much in front, the past is the past
i drink up the view

On My Way
I’m made of light
I’m made of clay
Doin’ alright
On my way
I have no home
And that’s OK
Rolling along
On my way
CHORUS Everybody has something special
Everybody has a way to be
Colour faith or name
It’s all the same to me
On my way
Hitchin’ a ride
On trucks and trains
Sunrise to night
On my way
I sling my pack
And my guitar
My lucky star
On my way
CHORUS #2
I make no plans
Cause plans get changed
By circumstance
On my way
I’m here tonight
But I won’t stay
Come morning light
I’m on my way

March Of Time
Two ghosts waiting at a railway station
One is recent and the other one ancient
They are talking about the great divide
And why it is we all must die
It seems we rust from the inside out
The inside out
One day we fade away
And find out what it’s all about
CHORUS The hands of the clock are going tick tock
Round and round, round and round
I always thought I had some say in it
But I was oh so wrong
Everybody’s caught up in the march of time
I was busy with my hearts desire
To make a million bucks and then retire
Plant some seeds where the water flows
And watch my garden grow
It seems we rust from the inside out
The inside out
One day we fade away
And find out what it’s all about
CHORUS
Now I’m a ghost at a railway station
And I’m seeking an explanation
My time has passed and it went too fast
I thought I would last forever
It seems we rust from the inside out
The inside out
One day we fade away
And find out what it’s all about
CHORUS The hands of the clock are going tick tock
Round and round, round and round
I always thought I had some say in it
But I was oh so wrong
Everybody’s caught up in the
Everybody’s caught up in the
Everybody’s caught up in the march of time
REFRAIN C’mon everybody, caught up in the march of time

I Must Be Happy
A glass half full or half empty
The choice that lies here before me
Work out what I can live with
So the rest can disappear
I pace the walls and the ceilings
Find the cracks and their meanings
Nothing left nothing hidden
Isn’t that great
CHORUS I must be happy
Come and take me away
Ready to go
Ready to play
I must be happy
I have all that I need
Keeping it simple
Far less to bleed
Your success with prevention
No access, no connection
Nothing like good intentions
How do you sleep at all?
I will take all the warnings
Grab the day every morning
There’s no way I’ll keep falling
I laugh so much
CHORUS I must be happy
So I am told
Trying my best
Not to unfold
I must be happy
So you all say
Take all my worries
Sign them away

Hesitation
You hear nothing as I tap your call
Jot down your details as I stand in your hall
So sit tight, I know how you sleep at night
Don’t take it personal you’re faceless to me
Tramping the pavement a shadow in the street
I’m paid to know, who you are, what you do, where you go
Scouting out at midnight through a bar or three
on the tail of a geezer who fleeced the company
or a broad doing something her husband don’t like
time will expose ‘cause everyone has their moment's hesitation
Hesitation. A moment's hesitation
Each one of us gives ourself away
circumstance change but it boils down the same
so i stare i know how to look and it’s there
i’ve sat in the car, in the church,
in the park
listening and noting
while dodging the sharks
and it shows
in my hair, in my brain, in my clothes
all the things that you did
that you wish to undo
all the guilt that you carry,
all the time you want back
at the crucial moment of yes or no
which way will you jump?
which way will you go?
Hesitation. A moment's hesitation
the more i’m in this job
the metaphor reveals
i’m playing out my own life
while striking these deals
but but it’s alright sometimes i sleep at night
drifting through the buildings i guess I think too much
no solution for me as i fade into night but who cares
at least I’m not caught unawares
if only when I’d spoken the words had been right
just one more thing, just one more night
grasping for meaning riddled with doubt
if only I had shut up before the last words had come out
all the things that i did that i wish to undo
all the guilt that i carry, all the time i want back
at the crucial moment of yes or no
which way will i jump? which way will i go?
Hesitation. A moment's hesitation

Sometimes A Little Is A Lot
Most of what you do won't change anything
Mostly you won't be seen at all
face the fact that life can be a joke
For the world will laugh at you
Apparently there is a point
But I don't know what it is
Curse and Scream
And rant and rave
It makes no difference
No difference at all
CHORUS You have to work with the cards that you're dealt
Play the hand you've got
Nothing can mean everything
Sometimes a little is a lot
Life is not a battle
But it is a test
One where you get better
But never, never the best
Every day that you wake up
You are meant to be here
If you need an answer
And a stable lıfe
Well good luck
'Cause you're nuts
CHORUS #2
BRIDGE Oh I get so tired / Oh I get so run down
So I light a candle / And curse the darkness down
Don't take you're pain out on others
Don't take it out on yourself
Stop fighting what you can't change
And spend sometime on your soul
We're all just specs in the dynamo
Of a living changing world
born naked we die the same
So get a grip
And toughen up
CHORUS #3
