Listen

You know if you just listen...

Life comes talking on the wind...

If you listen...

You'll hear the words of comfort..

Spoken in the breeze.

Chorus

The secrets reveal a message...

If you listen.... patiently.....

And stay aware...of silent truths..

Intuitions show us everything....

(Backing singing) Intuitions tell us everything....

Take time to notice how you feel...

Those voices can help you see...

If you listen...

You'll know the pain of losing..

Evaporates with the breeze...

Chorus

The secrets reveal a message...

If you listen.... patiently.....

And stay aware...of silent truths..

Intuitions show us everything....

(Backing singing) Intuitions tell us everything....

When days seem hard to bare..

And nights the lonely hours...

Try to listen.....

To the beating of your heart.....

It's rhythm tells a story ...too...

(Middle 8)( new melody)

Don't be fooled by reason...

It can lead us from our sanctuary...

But listen to the wisdom....

That we know from deep within..

Chorus

The secrets reveal a message...

If you listen.... patiently.....

And stay aware...of silent truths..

Intuitions show us everything....

(Backing singing) Intuitions tell us everything....

So always trust in what is felt...

And don't be fooled by reason..

Try to believe...

In the strength you have shown...

Gain everything you've ever dreamed...

Chorus

The secrets reveal a message...

If you listen.... patiently.....

And stay aware...of silent truths..

Intuitions show us everything....

(Backing singing) Intuitions tell us everything....

Bad News

Bad News

The milkman ran over my cat...

And a stalker sent me more hate mail..

What else could send me into despair.....

Or leave my life a tattered mess......?

Hurricanes ripping up the coast....

And mouldy jam to spread on my toast...

I ran the car out of fuel again.....

And missed the bus.....I'm late...

Chorus

But do I let it get me down.....

Or walk about scarred by a frown....?

No...not me......not now......somehow...

Though I could use a crafty fag....

Get smashed on crack and booze...

And go down in a blurry......haze....

My boss didn't like my joke...copier broke..

And now I'm searching for a new job....

My girlfriends brought me colour blue...

How can I be a dad right now.....?

I stand in line for the benefits gang.....

Who cannot give a toss......statistics....

Compute my hope is nearing ...nil...

The doctorates going up in smoke....

Chorus

But do I let it get me down.....

Or walk about scarred by a frown....?

No...not me......not now......somehow...

Though I could use a crafty fag....

Get smashed on crack and booze...

And go down in a blurry......haze....

(Melody building tempo)

The razor cuts a bleeding man....

The rent is due.....I'm almost done...

And for my sins.....of being plagued.....

The showers cold...no gas again....

Rhyme and reason have no sway....

I rip my trousers on the garden gate...

But there's no time to go and change...

I'm poor and cold and got no mates....

Chorus

But do I let it get me down.....

Or walk about scarred by a frown....?

No...not me......not now......somehow...

Though I could use a crafty fag....

Get smashed on crack and booze...

And go down in a blurry......haze....

Why is there nothing to cheer....?

I hear the news it's getting worse..

My bank has folded...under pressure..

From foreign debts....and now I'm broke..

The prices at Tesco's going sky high...

And it's only fruit … I want to buy...

What luck I say...to feel the pinch...

My life's in ruins..where am I going now......?

Chorus

But do I let it get me down.....

Or walk about scarred by a frown....?

No...not me......not now......somehow...

Though I could use a crafty fag....

Get smashed on crack and booze...

And go down in a blurry......haze....

(lull)

Super news....always hope....

See my struggle...this life...

Bad news won't get me down.....!!

Chorus

But do I let it get me down.....

Or walk about scarred by a frown....?

No...not me......not now......somehow...

Though I could use a crafty fag....

Get smashed on crack and booze...

And go down in a blurry......haze....

Wannabe Factor

Wannabe Factor

So many things are changing..

We don't work the fields 'til dusk..

We're getting our clothes tailored...

No make do and mend for us..

Chorus

Society demands of us...

To go for all we wannabe....

Set fame and fortune high above....

The things that never rust...

A dream is only worthy...

If it sends us to the stars..

Be everything you can....and more..

To get the X factor limo cars...

Chorus

Society demands of us...

To go for all we wannabe....

Set fame and fortune high above....

The things that never rust...

Getting your hands all dirty...

Doing only menial and boring chores....

Is not a life at all....You see....

I'm deserving of so much more...

Chorus

Society demands of us...

To go for all we wannabe....

Set fame and fortune high above....

The things that never rust...

Just 'cos our parents struggled....

Don't mean we need to follow them..

I gotta get a new Ferrari....

Park it alongside my Mercedes Benz...

Chorus

Society demands of us...

To go for all we wannabe....

Set fame and fortune high above....

The things that never rust...

Don't judge me on my talent....

I'm doing the best I can...

And I'm wearing Gucci lookalike...

I'm the next big wannabe who can.....

Put it down....

Chorus

Society demands of us...

To go for all we wannabe....

Set fame and fortune high above....

The things that never rust...

Keep puttin' it down.......

Treat Her Well

Treat Her Well

You may not see it.....this way..

But I have to tell you friend....

The things that you have done..

Ain't the best you've ever been...

Cold as any lofty mountain...

In the depths of a winter storm...

You should have treated her better..

'Cos she deserves the best you got...

Chorus

But it ain't my desire...

To beat you down as well..

Be careful who you live for...

Family matter more..

Know this truth I tell.....

A lover lost to mediocrity....aha..

But what part you played in that..

Was your vision of the future..

Including growing old...the good... the bad...?

Chorus

But it ain't my desire...

To beat you down as well..

Be careful who you live for...

Family matter more..

Know this truth I tell.....

I guess you may not have known....

Just how your feelings changed..

Can you say with hand on heart..

That she should take the blame.....?

Chorus

But it ain't my desire...

To beat you down as well..

Be careful who you live for...

Family matter more..

Know this truth I tell.....

Wisdom is a knowing game...

We can't get it without the pain...

So..feel the way she's feeling...

And make love to her again....

(Melody changes to become upbeat)

short musical folly.

Chorus

But it ain't my desire...

To beat you down as well..

Be careful who you live for...

Family matter more..

Know this truth I tell.....

Poppy Fields

Poppy Fields

The day began a vision...and

A crispness rode the silent breeze..

And everywhere in meadows full..

Waved the poppies through my dreams....

Chorus

Wishing would be all I knew...

Where brightness filled my head..

Come with me see the poppy fields,

With you my heart beats newly red...

Imagine for the time we have...

That our chorus be...one of love...

We walked, held hands belief had come..

No-one could take away our dreams...

Chorus

Wishing would be all I knew...

Where brightness filled my head..

Come with me see the poppy fields,

With you my heart beats newly red...

Middle 8

Musical interlude...

Upon the flowing poppy fields..

I came to see a new hope...

Inspired by the colourful haze..

You showed me how to love..

Chorus

Wishing would be all I knew...

Where brightness filled my head..

Come with me see the poppy fields,

With you my heart beats newly red...

Imagine please....the love....

I hold but you've never seen...

But comfort has a knowing smile..

It leads me where you tread...

Chorus

Wishing would be all I knew...

Where brightness filled my head..

Come with me see the poppy fields,

With you my heart beats newly red...

Badda.....da...da.....dah...

Badda.....da...da.....dah...

Badda.....da...da.....dah...

I'm just so sick of adverts...

The way they try to sell their wares.....

Ten times distilled is better ...how...?

The colour of my sofa.....

Is not as good as hers....oh yeah...

And if I can't stand the pressure....Argh!!

There are drugs to calm my nerves......
