Voices In My Head 03:45
lyrics

Voices In My Head Was not the only one When I done the thing I done Wasn’t me said pull the trigger on the gun Something went and told me What I had to do And I thought every word that I heard was true Yes it's true Can’t you hear them too I was doing just what I've been told to do Something inside said “Do it go ahead” I was listening to the voices in my head You all must agree It wasn't only me Responsible for this killing murder spree Those inner friends had got me Now it’s me who’s doing time Did what I was told It was my only crime It's true Can’t you hear them too I was doing just what I've been told to do Something inside said “Do it go ahead” I was listening to the voices in my head Judges did agree I can never be free Those voices made a monster out of me Crept in my mind and they took me Reached down into my soul Penitentiary and life without parole Yes it's true Can’t you hear them too I was doing just what I've been told to do Something inside said “Do it go ahead” I was listening to the voices in my head It’s not me who is insane It’s just me who took the blame And any one of you would do the same Should be living free and easy but I’m locked up instead For listening very carefully to every word they said Yes it's true can’t you hear them too I was doing just what I've been told to do Something inside said “Do it go ahead” I was listening to the voices in my head I’ll never be alone Never on my own In my head there’s always someone home Life in solitary I've got plenty of company Listening to the voices in my head Life in solitary I've got plenty of company Listening to the voices in my head

Happy To Be You It’s good to be You It’s true No one else will do No reason to compare I declare You have all you need right there You don’t have to change Or rearrange Every little piece of you Turns out the same Be happy with what you’ve got Don’t worry about what you’re not Whatever you do Just be you To yourself be true And you’ll Be happy to be you Take it from me And you’ll agree There is no one you’d rather be Don’t worry about The things you’re not Take a look at What you’ve got Cast out those doubts Stop with the obsessings Take a little time And count your blessings Be happy to be you You will come through No need to review You have all you need To succeed Are we agreed? It’s good to be You It’s true No one else will do No reason to compare I declare You have all you need right there You don’t have to change Or rearrange Every little piece of you Turns out the same Be happy with what you’ve got Don’t worry about what you’re not Whatever you do Just be you Whatever you do Just be you

Blind Faith 04:18
lyrics

Blind Faith I’ve got a blind faith I’ve got a faith that’s blind I’ve got a faith that’s blind Gives me comfort all the time Going down that big road and feel that I can’t lose Glad that I’m walking in my own shoes Glad I’m walking in my own shoes I got hope it takes away the blues I keep my ear close to the ground So I know what’s going down So I know all that’s going down Waiting for good times to come around I let fate take me by the hand I’ve got a faith that’s blind I’ve got a faith that’s blind Gives me peace in my mind I worry in the morning and I worry late at night But I have faith things will be all right I have faith it will be all right When times get dark And when trouble starts to bite I believe the future Will turn out bright I’ve got a blind faith I’ve got a faith that’s blind I’ve got a faith that’s blind Keeps me happy all the time

Reflection In The Wine Last night you told me you were leavin’ Packed up your things said you were movin’ on Left me with this lost and lonely feelin’ Now I’m left here sitting all alone I was So happy when we were together Used to believe you loved me all the time Now I’m so sad and blue Lost and lonely without you As I stare at my reflection in the wine Last night you told me you were leavin’ And I lost the life I’d lived so happily Left me with this lost and lonely feelin’ Now a glass wine’s my only company I was So happy when I first met you Thought everything was working out real fine I’m so sad and blue Here’s nothing I can do As I look at my reflection in the wine Lost my dreams and all that I had hoped for Lost everything that I once thought was mine I’m so sad and blue So lonely without you As I stare at my reflection in the wine Last night you said you will always love me Leaving me would be a blessing in disguise I would soon surely find another But that won’t hold back the tears in my eyes My whole world fell apart the day you left me Nothing can fill this empty heart of mine Keep imagining That you loved me once again As I stare at my reflection in the wine Keep imagining You loved me once again As I stare at my reflection in the wine

She Didn’t Really Mean It 03:42
lyrics

She Didn’t Really Mean It Arrived today The letter you sent Don’t have to read between the lines To know what it meant You think I must be crazy Don’t know the score Think I haven’t heard All of it before A love sick note Won’t heal the scar That’s just ‘wrong’ With a capital ‘R’ Thought all would be forgiven When I read what you wrote This is what it said And I quote I didn’t really mean it Didn’t really mean it Didn’t really mean it I didn’t really mean It Didn’t really mean it When I broke your heart What excuse haven’t you got? Your whole life is someone else’s fault Don’t think you’ve changed I don’t think you’re sorry Do you think I just fell off The back of a lorry? Dealing the cards From a pack of lies You’re not my ex More like a Y ? Lost my patience Lost my pride Left me feeling More dead than alive [but she said] I didn’t really mean it One by one Two by two Make promises about What you’re never going to do Gets my goat Takes the biscuit I read what you wrote And I’m never gonna risk it Struck by a thunderbolt Hit by a train Reversed over me Again and again Had my head on a plate Put me through the juicer Got more in common with snakes Than Medusa [she said] I didn’t really mean it Didn’t really mean it Didn’t really mean it I didn’t really mean It Didn’t really mean it Didn’t really mean it Didn’t really mean it Didn’t really mean it Didn’t really mean it When I broke your heart Broke your heart

Lucky 03:28
lyrics

Lucky I was always lucky All the skies that shined on me were blue There was nothing that I couldn’t do Third time lucky - fourth time lucky too It’s true I was always happy Everything in life was just a dream Lucky stars would wish on me Paid in lucky pennies – my salary You see Up to my ears in four leaf clover Rode my luck over and over Pile of salt heaped over my shoulder I was a lucky guy I could walk under ladders - get away with murder too Rabbits borrowed my feet - horses even wore my shoe Feng shui-ed my flat so I looked stylish So much luck I should have been Irish But I ran out of luck the day that I met you Opportunity fell right into my lap Escapes were always wide - never took the wrap Black cats lined up to cross my path I was a lucky guy I never had to wait in a supermarket que Six older brothers - my dad has six older brothers too Wood knocked on me to bring it luck My toast always landed butter side up But I ran out of luck the day that I met you Loaded fluffy dice hung from my rear-view mirror My lucky star never ceased to shimmer Had more luck than any beginner I was a lucky guy Whatever I did I turned out a winner Eating another doughnut just made me thinner But I ran out of luck the day that I met you

This Time Is The Last Time No good saying that you love me No not this time Found out what you’re doing I’ve found out all your crimes No good saying that you love me This time I’m gonna go… This time is the last time Because I know No good saying that you need me This time I know for sure Tell me that you need more space Can’t move over anymore No good saying that you need me Love just lost it’s glow … This time is the last time Because I know Don’t tell me that you love me Cos’ I know – what I know Don’t tell me that you need me Cos’ I’m gonna go – gonna go No good saying that you love me This time I’m gonna go… This time is the last time Because I know No good saying that you want me Or this hurts so bad No good saying you can’t live without me Or I’m the best deal you ever had No good saying that you want me This love ain’t gonna flow This time is the last time This time is the last time Because I know

Long Shadows 04:40
lyrics

Long Shadows Think it’s vanished in the mists Lying at your feet it twists Even in the dark exists A memory that stills persists One thing you can never lose You stand in your shadow’s shoes Company you cannot refuse Mark of the past - still pursues A sign of the past you can’t out run Makes sure you always know Old sins cast a long, long shadow Looms out of the past once more Lying there across your floor Unwanted guest you can’t ignore Unburied sins to answer for Never, never see its face Dark outlines forever trace Cold, cold arms fondly embrace Secrets of your fall from grace Forever standing at your feet Your dark companion always in tow Old sins cast a long, long shadow Holds secrets of your fall from grace There to let you know Old sins cast a long, long shadow No matter how much you pretend Haunts you to the bitter end Constant - unwanted friend Can’t shake this shadow that attends More you move towards the sun Taller it will grow Old sins cast a long, long shadow Think it’s vanished in the mists Lying at your feet it twists Even in the dark exists A memory that stills persists Shadow’s silent footsteps close behind Follows on tip-toes Old sins cast long, long shadows

Circle Of Friends 04:09
lyrics

Circle Of Friends Rapt in the music Other thoughts disappear In a circle of friends Playing without fear Communicating With nod, wink and grin Hoping someone remembers How the next tune begins Play the old tunes And songs to join in Reels and the waltzes March, polka and fling Always in good company Music, laughter and song Late into the evening The tunes go on and on Each jig, slide and hornpipe Dance from the keys Each lament and air Float on the breeze Tells its own story A tale told in rhyme In triplet and slide In tempo and time Play rare old tunes And songs to join in Reels and the waltzes March, polka and swing Transported to a different world Lost in the sound Then close another set of tunes And call for just one more round
