Truck Driver


Truck Driver



When I'm out I'm rolling..
I am king of the road again..
Moving freight across the country..
From A to B than back again...
You want your goods into the shops..
How do you think it all gets there then ?
It's because of guys and gals like me...
Driving all night..but do you care...?


Chorus
'Cos you treat me like a vermin....
Cut me up....don't give me room...
You do the dumbest things you know..
At your peril.....to work you zoom...
I'm a forty four tonne missile Maam...
Don't just nip infront.....leave more room...



I carry the weight of the world....
In my dirty... great big trailers......
And you thoughtless...lazy car drivers...
Are on a mission to derail us....
Do you think we like the pressure...
To always have to think for you.....?
You're on the phone...or doing make-up...
And the courtesies are coming few...



Chorus
'Cos you treat me like a vermin....
Cut me up....don't give me room...
You do the dumbest things you know..
At your peril.....to work you zoom...
I'm a forty four tonne missile Maam...
Don't just nip infront.....leave more room...


Imagine what will happen when....
You force me to brake on a dime...
Why can't you set out earlier.....
Or that coffin might be mine.....
Please pay attention to the climate...
And drive with care to reach your end...
Or we could come to grips of steel...
Watch your precious car....I'll bend.....


Chorus
'Cos you treat me like a vermin....
Cut me up....don't give me room...
You do the dumbest things you know..
At your peril.....to work you zoom...
I'm a forty four tonne missile Maam...
Don't just nip infront.....leave more room...


Like you I work for the money....
To have a life and family who care..
Don't treat me as if I'm nothing...
A brighter day I'd like to share....
And when the rain is falling....
Stick to your lane...not mine...
This massive lump of rolling steel...
Is much harder to keep in line.....

(Build melody)

Be patient in the traffics morning queue....
I hate to be stuck here too.....
But I have to navigate this ship...
Across the sea of faces like you.....
Or there'll be no bread at Tescos......
Nor milk for your daily morning tea....
Please... open up your eyes wider......
And spare a little thought for me.....



Chorus
'Cos you treat me like a vermin....
Cut me up....don't give me room...
You do the dumbest things you know..
At your peril.....to work you zoom...
I'm a forty four tonne missile Maam...
Don't just nip infront.....leave more room...

Chorus
'Cos you treat me like a vermin....
Cut me up....don't give me room...
You do the dumbest things you know..
At your peril.....to work you zoom...
I'm a forty four tonne missile Maam...
Don't just nip infront.....leave more room...

I Wish


I Wish



Mother...... I don't seem to understand....
Where's my daddy...I miss him......
You say......it's not his fault....
But all I hear.....is your crying....
I wish …..I'd understand.....


Chorus

Wishing used to bring me joy.....
when days were so easy...
And I...........yet a growing boy....
Found loving you......would please me...
And, I wish......would always sound so easy.....



Mother..... I don't seem to understand....
Why things are changing quickly.....
Days where dreams came simply...
Flooded in....to build my hopes...
I wish....I'd understand.......me..



Chorus

Wishing used to bring me joy.....
when days were so easy...
And I...........yet a growing boy....
Found loving you......would please me...
And, I wish......would always sound so easy.....


(middle 8)
Do you hear my wanting,
For times to come again...?
Fill my heart with passion....
Bringing love to save....
This lonely man.........I wish.



Chorus

Wishing used to bring me joy.....
when days were so easy...
And I...........yet a growing boy....
Found loving you......would please me...
And, I wish......would always sound so easy.....

You showed me all..... I had to see........
Of life..... that don't come easy.....
And now I understand........
And now I......... understand......

Prophecy of Truth

 
Prophecy of Truth



It would be......a turning....
Coming back from greedy ways...
The ship we sail... is sinking......
Being lost beneath......Tsunami waves..

So when...... will it crumble.....
Come crashing round our ears.....?
Watch this space....... and be attentive...
My prophecy......it won't be years.....


Chorus

Do you really wanna know......
What will happen to your world ?
Or will you fall...asleep...
Give in to the apathy.....
Let others control....your hopes....
Your dreams.....?


How we got.......to here....
Who owns....... the blame.......?
Would it heal a stolen dream....
Or sell it out...once more......?

They took it all..... and more......
To live.....in opulent luxury....
One gets more......one less.....
The mathematics cannot lie.....




Chorus

Do you really wanna know......
What will happen to your world ?
Or will you fall...asleep...
Give in to the apathy.....
Let others control....your hopes....
Your dreams.....?



The truth......my friends....
Is so very simple.....believe me...
We need to act......to save it.......
Or it will be lost......forever.....

Without truth..... in our actions.....
We are just as bad...as them.....
Who take without..... a conscience....
Of what loses....to their greed....


Chorus

Do you really wanna know......
What will happen to your world ?
Or will you fall...asleep...
Give in to the apathy.....
Let others control....your hopes....
Your dreams.....?


Chorus

Do you really wanna know......
What will happen to your world ?
Or will you fall...asleep...
Give in to the apathy.....
Let others control....your hopes....
Your dreams.....?

The Gift of Life


The Gift of Life



It has gotta be.....
One of the most overlooked..
Taken for granted....
Precious gifts ever given......

In absence of life.......
What would there be at all.....?
Let's look again.........
What a blessing that we have...


Chorus
I just cannot imagine life...
Being here alone without you....
I cannot imagine life.......oh life....
The gift of life.....we are sharing......
Oh life... imagine whilst we can....


(middle 8)
Today as I was breathing...
I felt joy beyond my years...
Grace descended like a dove..
Heaven showed me paradise...


Chorus
I just cannot imagine life...
Being here alone without you....
I cannot imagine life.......oh life....
The gift of life.....we are sharing......
Oh life... imagine whilst we can....


Do you yet realise..
What a gift we have to share.....?
Each day a new beginning....
Finding peace amongst the world...

Oh glory be alive.....
My soul knows the joy of life..
Built upon the gift......
Always selling us it's new dawn...


Chorus
I just cannot imagine life...
Being here alone without you....
I cannot imagine life.......oh life....
The gift of life.....we are sharing......
Oh life... imagine whilst we can....

Chorus
I just cannot imagine life...
Being here alone without you....
I cannot imagine life.......oh life....
The gift of life.....we are sharing......
Oh life... imagine whilst we can....


Before it's gone...away....
The gift of life has come........

Loneliness is my only friend

Loneliness is my only friend

I will walk with you.....again..
We echo silent footsteps.........
Where we have gone together...
Is not where I'd hope to be.....

(Melody rises and falls)

Destiny has held my hand....
To show me who you are.....
And I have kept my oath....
Promised that we'll never part...


Chorus
So take me ...ever onward.....
To places....only we can go......
You won't desert me now I am...
Aware you are my only friend....
You really are my loyal friend..


Painful was my heart today......
I lost the hope to be............
Someone who could win the hand..
Of a lover I once knew.....

(Melody rises and falls)

But I could not beat my fears..
And tell her of my love........
Afraid she'd find me foolish....
Cast me far away from her.....



Chorus
So take me ...ever onward.....
To places....only we can go......
You won't desert me now I am...
Aware you are my only friend....
You really are my loyal friend..


I know you won't desert me.......
You're the friend I never had......
But now you're here to stay.......
I will learn not to be sad.......

(Melody rises and falls)

Destiny has held my hand......
To show me who you are.....
And I will keep my oath to you...
I promise that we'll never part......



Chorus
So take me ...ever onward.....
To places....only we can go......
You won't desert me now I am...
Aware you are my only friend....
You really are my loyal friend..

(Fade)



(Thought I wanted something else, but resigned myself to the loneliness instead, as failure seemed a price too high to pay)
Some military style drumming, and bagpipes as main musical theme.

Lead or Follow


Lead or Follow



It's not as obvious....
As you might think...
To lead someone else to act...
I struggle to understand...myself...
Sometimes.....and why I follow you...


Chorus
Some people are born leaders...
But I'm not one who can..
I'd rather shoot the breeze...
Let others lead the way ahead...


It's not as obvious...
Where we could know the plan..
Following is better... patience when...
I leave the decisions...all to them...
And welcome tranquillity.... easier than...


(Middle 8)
Altered melody.

Don't kid yourself..
No..No..don't be drawn in...
Leave the stress alone...
And smile as one who's free..


Chorus
Some people are born leaders...
But I'm not one who can..
I'd rather shoot the breeze...
Let others lead the way ahead...


It may seem obvious..
To find the perfect occupation....
Drawing on the dreams you hold..
Is where you'll find the bright..
And supporting master plan again...


Chorus
Some people are born leaders...
But I'm not one who can..
I'd rather shoot the breeze...
Let others lead the way ahead...


I don't want no occupation...
Don't need no master plan...
I don't want nor need assistance...
I like living without a plan...
Without a plan...yeah yeah....

Don't need no master plan.....
Just follow what I can...
