BALTIMORE 04:23
BALTIMORE Have you ever been to Baltimore, it lies on the western shore? Have you ever been to Baltimore, thought I'd seen your face before. Thought I'd seen your face a thousand times, a thousand time or more. Thought I'd seen you face a thousand times or more. Did you ever sail from Baltimore, past stacks of solid stone? Dolphins at your side, it seemed all there was to know. Did you build your home on a Cape so Clear, did you lie upon the stone Did you spill your blood on that Cape so Clear as a sign of coming home? A sign of coming home. Home. See the light above your door, But I don't see your face no more Just my history. Home, where the river gently flows, Where the chalk by moonlight glows. This is my history I was lost I was lonesome I was far from these shores And I found depths of despair, I never been there before. Then it felt like the ending, then it felt like moving on Until I found myself standing proud and alone. Then I heard in the distance "You got to hold your head up high" "If you want to be a proud man that's what you need to survive" "Walk tall, Walk straight and look the world right in the eye". "Walk tall, Walk straight and look the world right in the eye". That's what my mamma told me when I was about knee high.

HALCYON DAZE 03:55
HALCYON DAZE Broken. Someone said these were the Halcyon days A time remembered to ease the pain of the fall We're just like children so far from home We soothe ourselves through veils of tears. Flying high with wings so broken Don't you know you can depend on me when you fall Keep on looking with both eyes open Don't loose your faith in what you see Unbroken Bid farewell unto those Halcyon Days To broken promises and friendships based on fear. We raise our faces to meet the gaze of those of us who dare to be To heal the bones and with wings we open Ascend to places so far beyond our dreams Cherish moments of grace and beauty Immerse ourselves to rise again. Be what you found be the strength that holds you Trust your body she will take you there Don't fear the ground you can learn the lesson now Be your truth and don't give in to fear. Someone said these were the Halcyon Days, A time remembered to ease the pain of the fall.

WHEN ALL'S BEEN SAID AND DONE When all the grieving's done No more to feel the sun When all the songs are sung When all the songs are sung Thats when all our grieving's done The peace that we'll become When all this breathing's done When all's' been said and done When all's been said and done When alls' been said and done We came from silence into sound We found our voice and sang out loud We joined the harmony, it as there for us to do And now it's waiting there for you For you. So now to grief you're come You're the dawning of a sun And you'll find what you'll become Before your day is done Before your day is done You came from silence into sound You found our voice and sang out loud You joined the harmony, it as there for us to do And now it's waiting there for you For you. Sing Let your heart be open Sing Sing on out aloud Sing Let your heart be open Let it take you to some higher ground Let it take you to some higher ground When all this grieving's done And the peace that we'll become When all's been said and done When all's been said and done Thats when all our grieving's done

LOOKING BEHIND ME NOW Looking behind me now Trying to make some sense of where I am now They're circling above me now Trying to make some sense of it all Want to make some sense of it all Gonna make some sense of it all You're walking beside me now I feel see then moon above, feel your arm in mine I watch the shadows, how they fall, I want to make some sense of it all Enjoy the ride don't fear the fall We are the writing on the wall Enjoy the ride don't fear the fall For we are the writing on the wall In through the door walks my old friend Plays the Gibson sweet, they built in '58, Lets play this song now to the end And given time let's play it once again And given time let's play it once again Enjoy the ride don't fear the fall We are the writing on the wall Enjoy the ride don't fear the fall For we are the writing on the wall Come follow Come follow Come heed my call. Enjoy the ride don't fear the fall We are the writing on the wall Enjoy the ride don't fear the fall For we are the writing on the wall Looking behind me now Looking behind me now You're right here beside me

STAN 03:01
STAN There's no-one here Its all gone wrong I stand alone and I sing this song But I might just find myself some hallowed ground If I make a fist of all the shit's gone down You've gotta to stand up You've gotta to stand up I see my mother's face Hear my father's voice My brother's grace a distant noise Oh please God won't you help me find some hallowed ground And make a fist of all the she's gone down. You've gotta to stand up You've gotta to stand up You've gotta to stand up Cos there's no one who'll pick you up Like you can do. There's an open door There's another song It's a fact of life things sometimes go wrong But in time I'll find myself some hallowed ground And make a fist of all the shit's gone down.

THE BEACH BOY You're seeking sanctuary To build a home in love And not adversity Such a noble goal On the road your destiny Hangs in the balance of our whims Our sense of charity Such a fragile load We reach for love in the hope we won't be denied We reach for love with the innocence of a child But from where I'm standing Things don't look so good for you And the blueness of the ocean Could be the death of you From where I'm standing The future's clear to see And in the future that I'm seeing There's no space for you Just me This is an ancient game We play it time and time and time again We play it time and time and time again We play it time and time and time again We reach for love in the hope we won't be denied We reach for love in the hope we won't be denied We reach for love with the innocence of a child But from where I'm standing Things don't look so good for you And the blueness of the ocean Could be the death of you And we'll forget you You're not the first you see Who's hopes sank to the bottom 'Neath the blueness the sea From where I'm standing The future's clear to see And in the future that I'm seeing There's no space for you Nor me From where I'm standing We'll forget you Reach for love Reach for love This is an ancient game We play it This is an ancient game We play it Time and time again Time and time again Time and time again Reach for love

SCARE CITY 03:54
SCARE CITY We live our lives in scarcity Surrounded by the fear we breathe It penetrates down to the core And makes us slaves for evermore. We anaesthetise our waking minds To bear the pain, conceal the crimes That others and ourselves endure And turn our backs on love so pure. But it's love that changes shit to gold Makes life worth living lets us behold Abundance where we all enjoy The fruits of labour, the gift of life Its love that changes shit to gold Makes life worth living and let's us behold It's love that changes shit to gold. Round every corner lurks a threat A shadowed face lined with regret A bitter pill that's swallowed whole To keep the shit locked in your soul. We join the dots, down snakes we slide The dice is loaded, no surprise We find ourselves on bended knee And hear a voice, "look up to me". But it's love that changes shit to gold Makes life worth living lets us behold Abundance where we all enjoy The fruits of labour, the gift of life Its love that changes shit to gold Makes life worth living and let's us behold It's love that changes shit to gold. It's love that changes. It's love that changes. It's love that changes. Shit ot gold.

THE WEIGHT OF A STAR I am looking out from the blue-est of places Looking out at the stars. Counting each speck, know the distance it's travelled And I'll give you the weight of a star. I'll give you the weight of a star. I'm doing the sums now I'm keeping the score Doing the same things that we did before Finding some comfort in painting by numbers At the cost of living a part At the cost of living apart But hiding by numbers obscures the view Diminishes the light to our eyes But to bathe in our brilliance It takes some resilience Don't make it a bridge too far Or you might miss the weight of a star In all of our knowing there's beauty and wonder Lest we forget all that we are And wisdom's revealed in the darkest of places To those who reach out to the stars To those who reach out to the stars And stars we all know Well they come and they go An echo is all that remains And we just like them we start over again In the brilliance of all that we are In the brilliance of all that we are But hiding by numbers obscures the view Diminishes the light tour eyes But to bathe in our brilliance It takes some resilience Don't make it a bridge too far Or you might miss the weight of a star All that we are In the weight of a star. All that we are In the weight of a star. And stars we all know Well they come and they go An echo is all that remains An echo is all that remains An echo is all that remains

COLD SWEAT 06:31
COLD SWEAT I'm not exactly where I thought I'd be Not exactly sure who's been lying next to me Can't remember much about the night long gone Tell me brother what's been going on I'm in a cold cold sweat. Ice cold somethings running over me, I open my eyes and find you looking down on me Draw the blinds babe it's just to bright to see Gotta find me some shade Come stand right over me Stand right over me You know that's just what I.... I remember now you said you were wild and free Thats what you said when you put these chains on me Enjoy the pain babe let me take you down Enjoy the pain you said Lets make some cold sweat on your brow Cold sweat on you brow. Dare to be different Dare to be alive My God how hard it is to live life like a child Release these chains from me I'll never tie you down Cos you and me babe, we're just fooling' Foolin' There's no right or wrong, no black or white No one standing over judging you tonight Neptune learned his lesson You gotta learn to ride the tide Find the voice that speak the truth And the pain will just subside The pain will just subside. How good it feels doing what we do How good it feels me inside of you How good it feels when my hands are tied How good it feels Too good to be denied Why should it be denied Too good to be denied I'm in a cold sweat Over you
