 Lyrics from KICKS (2015)                                                                              

VERSE 1.

Kids on the corner of a Doorway saved my Life

Shooting the hoops as the Old School burns for time

Stoned to the gods as we break a brothers soul

Headers are bliss and Breda’s Rock n Roll

Kicks that We Live For

Oh Kicks That We Live For

VERSE 2.

Washing our feet as we nick some Holy change

Dancing on roofs by Mooretown’s rebel grave

Crashing the bikes as we pile down Chapel Hill

Smashing a chord as we all Have time to Kill

Kicks that We Live For

Oh Kicks That We Live For

 

Chorus:

Take it Outside where the boys won't Spill your name

Dodging the guards and no one sees your Game            

Clash & The Gillys and the fields where cans are free           

Battle alone with your cures and the pure relief                    

It’s Life                                                                                   

Kicks that We Live For                                               

Oh-                                                                             

Kicks That we Live For                                               

 

(Guitar/Piano Instrumental)                                       

Verse 3.

Turn your playground into where Rome burned                     

Spin into night for a Kiss that Silken yearns                                                  

Tease another ghost by The Tower at Studio One                   

Looking Around & See What a Man Becomes              

 

(CHORUS:)                                                                              

 

It’s Life                                                                       

Oh Kicks That We Live For                             

Oh kicks That We Live For                             

Oh kicks That We Live For                             

“Kicks that we Live for” till End.

Slip Into Something-

Lord won’t you let this old heart lie still

Dance of the Creatures in the Land of no Thrill

Dreams in the Slam-Walk that ole Crooked Line

Down to the Sea- Let the Oceans Wash my mind

And Those girls on the side got their Mojo Risin

It’s a Living Fickle Thing

 

CHORUS:

(Woh ooh ooh oh)This ship of Fears & It’s Listing to the side

(I say Woh ooh ooh  oh) Now you’re Forgiven-Won’t you slip in…

Slip Into Something.

Hey

Alright

 

Lord won’t you let this ole World Spin wild

She’s the queen-She’s the country

See the Devil got her smile

I’m a calm little Patriot-I’m an Upstanding  Man

There’s a burning to her Colours

See the Storm rage in her palm.

And the girls on the side got their Mojo Risin’

Now the Preacher sees the Light.

 

(CHORUS)

 

I am Living-I am Kicking

She’s the Goddess with the Sinful Eyes-Repeat till End

 

 




If I Should:

If I Should Take My feet from Ground 

For too Long                                        

The World would make me Dizzy And Crazy….         

           

If I Should Fail to Turn around-

Hear your Call            

The World might spin But I might fall apart.                                                 

If I Should Look into your eyes-

Seem I’m blind

Stare into Forever-Find Angels                                   

There’s a future that we hold                                     

We’re not just getting old                                          

Won’t you be there too                                               

Chorus:

I’ve just seen Arthur C Clarke on a beach somewhere

Frogs falling out of the Skies in Fear                          

Things that would make you move                              

That’s Alright –But Love is The Sun Coming Up

I’ve got the change in my Cup                                    

I’m gonna share this with you                                    

Brother You’re coming too.                 

(Solo)                                                                          

Chorus 2:

I’ve just seen –Miracles made on a Field of dreams    

Chilean Boys in their cage of steel                 

Singing their way back home                                     

All that’s nice –But Love is The Sun Coming Up                     

I’ve got the change in my Cup                                    

I’m gonna share this with you                                    

Brother You’re coming too.                                         

 

I’ve got a ticket for Life                                                          

Rolling the Dice would be nice                                              

Sharing the cards on a stone                           

I can’t make this alone                                               

Everyone’s looking for Love                                        

Shooting the Stars up above.                                       

But I got a ticket for life                                             

Let’s shake the World.            

 

           

TO KILL A GIANT

1.

WHAT’S IT LIKE TO KILL A GIANT

TO SPILL HIS BLOOD AND STEAL HIS MIGHT

WALK A MILE IN FABLED SHOES

KISS THE DICE AND NEVER LOSE

2.

WHAT’S IT LIKE TO KILL A GIANT

PICK HIS BONES WITH SHEER DELIGHT

THE VILLAGERS SHOUT YOUR NAME

THE KING IS GONE-KING IS SLAIN

 

Chorus No.1

DIDN’T GET TO SEE THE FIGHT

THE UPPERCUT IT DIDN’T HIT ME RIGHT

FALL UPON THE COLD AND GREASY FLOOR

THE NEW YEAR BELLS ARE KILLING ME ONCE MORE

SOMETIMES WE NEVER SEE THE BRAVE

DROWNING LIKE THE CATS BENEATH THE WAVE

TURN OUR CARES AND DREAMS TO NEVERLAND

STILL FEEL THE STINGING

 

3.

WHAT’S IT LIKE TO KILL A GIANT

TO TWIST THE HAND THAT BREAKS GOLIATH

TREAD UPON HIS CRAZY DREAMS

THE KING IS DEAD- THE KING IS ME

 

CHORUS NO .2

DIDN’T TURN THE OTHER CHEEK

MORTIFIED YOUNG DANCER ON THE STREET

THE BEGGARS AND BELIEVERS WILL BE KIND

ALL LOOKING FOR THE MINDFULNESS INSIDE

 

SOMETIMES YOU OUGHT TO LOSE CONTROL

RUSH OF BLOOD THE WORLD WILL SURELY KNOW

THROW MY CARES AND DREAMS TO NEVERLAND

STILL FEEL THE STINGIN’

A HOLE IN MY HEAD

I PUT THE INNOCENCE TO BED

 

 

OH WHAT’S IT LIKE TO KILL A GIANT

TO SPILL HIS BLOOD AND STEAL HIS MIGHT

TO WALK A MILE HIS FABLED SHOES

WE WIN OR LOSE

YOUR SINS FORGIVEN

YOUR SINS FORGIVEN

   Single Station:


Just a moonless man

Before the day began

Lost to the night to prove

The dark is cooler than you.

And the head ain’t feeling grand

No lord can save this man

Where is the light –Where is the groove

Where is the light that shines


 Can we save the naked fool..

Chorus:

And I won’t be Single Station

No I won’t be Single Station-No I…


 

Verse: 2

I walk upon I drift along

Unremarkable streets of song where

I’m not hearing free

Like a soulless angel from a different tree

I’ll be forever looking down on the party.

Heavens inside. Let me inside.

Strangeness is a forgotten little world.



Chorus:


There’s hardness all around….

Love belongs like a bottle to a bar.

There I’m found

Pick me up come spill me to your heart.


 




 Just a moonless man

Before the day began

Lost to the night to prove

The dark is cooler than you

Cooler than you.




Take Me to Your Leader

Then Trick his mind                                                   

The World is falling on Us

And the Bear won’t play your Silly Little Games                    

No more Lazy Times.

You know The Bears Alive

Pear:                                                   

I was a King-Suede on My Shoes                                

Never Gonna be Beside again                         

A Woman I’d Lose

Fought and I Cursed And I Swore So Hard

I Dang nearly Died

Pick this way if you wanna Live

But Don’t steal my Pride

 

If it All Should go( Pear)(*2)                           

 

I was a Freak-By the Gumball Machine                      

Whisked around and Sacrificed

But the Models retreat

Walked the lanes-my  feet in flames

I dang nearly died

Twist another Queen for me

And I’ll show you my Side

 

Is there Something in the Water Baby                                                

Is there Something in the Air that you’re savin’                     

Turn me over I’ll be done on one side                         

Turn me over and I’ll show you my meaning              

But the World won’t turn me On…                             

Chorus:

If it All Should Go Pear(*2)                                         

If it All Should Go Belly Up                            

All That Stormy Stuff                                                  

Don’t Go                                                                     

Stay in my Heart –You’ll Be( Fine)                              

 (Repeat Chorus)

I was Taking Leaves-                                      

Falling through the trees                                                                                

All the places that plagued my mind                          

Take me over girl-                                                                 

Show me where the World Ends                                 

And I’ll show you mine….                                          

           

(Solo)                                                                          

                                                                                   

(Build up to End)

If it All Should go Pear(4)                                           

 

If it All Should go( Belly Up)                                      

If it All Should go                                                                   

Don’t go-                                                                    

Stay in my Heart-You’ll Be Fine                                             

You’ll Be Fine-                                               

You’ll Be Fine-Woh –oh-oh-oh. (End)

LYRICS FROM HANGOVER MOON (2017)
​
Angels On The Wave
​Sail in the morning

As The Fog Begins to Fade
Just Another Heartbeat
That the Mother Let Away
 
And the Children look inside
But There’s nothing left to Save
And It’s Hurting All This Hurting
What they find Along The Way
 
Chorus:
This Is What You’ve Got
This Is What You’ve Got
 
 
Sail as the Fire Ruins.
And The Panic Seals their Fate.
Just Another Heartbeat
That the Spirits Will Forsake
 
And the Children lost their friends
And There’s nothing left to Save.
And It’s Certain Oh It’s Certain
There’ll be Angels on the Wave.
 
 
 
Chorus:
This Is What You’ve Got -This Is What You’ve Got Now


BIG LIE WORLD:

Gambling Undercovers And the News is so Bad
​I Can't Live (Yea Yea)
Turning Into Trouble At The Blink Of An Eye 
I Can't Sleep (Yea Yea)
​Squaring Up To Jesus But I Don't Think I Have The Heart Left
(Hmm Hmm)
Going to the Dark Side And I'm Gonna Have A Good Time instead


Hanging Out With Famous
Don't Be Foolish Enough To Let Go
​Send Me Down the River and 
I'll Meet with a Fly in the Know
​Hunt me down and Kill Me 
With Your Rage and Your Brags and Your Boasts 
Meet You at the Big Lie 
​And We'll call it a Figment of Hope

There's A Big Guy
In The Big League
In A Big High
​In A Big Lie World







 
Something Secret:
 
Verse 1:
Got myself this notion
I Can’t turn it off
Firing up Emotions
The World is Startled Again
 
Take a trip Colombo
Your files got nothing on me
Your Aliens in Governments
J Edgar had the Key
 
Chorus:
Well I know there’s Something Secret
I know There’s Something Going (Down) (*4)
 
Verse 2:
Does it Heal when our Hopes go
Blood stains in your Eyes
Broad Seeds of Doubt are being Sown
I Can’t Grow your Lies
 
Earth Being Burgled Up and Down Yea
I see a Valley of Troops
They’re Storming Through the Old town Now
And I Don’t see no Future With You.
 
Chorus-
 
 
Got Myself an old Friend
Gonna Make it Right
Surveys an Old Ship
The World is Starting again
It’s Looks like This old Friend Is Sailing
Tablets take me Home
Gonna Take it Easy
The World is starting Again
 
Chorus-
Hey Hey Hey

 HARD TO BELIEVE:
 
Made your mark and Nobody Sees it..
Paid the price and Everybody steals it..
She Breaks your heart in pretty little pieces
Another Page of Life- Everybody reads - you said
 
Chorus:
You were the centre of me
A Cry that won’t leave
The Bed in my Heart
A little storm you can’t cage
I grew enraged by these feelings you freed
Hard to Believe-Hard To Believe
 
2.
She left you like a Bear in the Prison.                                  
A Naked Nun , a room full of pilgrims
A Jaded Cat fit for the killing
Another Page of Life- Another Movie Scene- you bet
 
Chorus:
 
You Put Your Hands Around The Sun
Got Burnt by Everyone
But Don’t Don’t Go
You put your Heart upon the line
Waited For the Sign
Look At You Now
 
Hard to Believe

HANGOVER MOON -
 
1.
DREAMT SO HIGH LAST NIGHT
I COULD’VE BEEN SMOKING
SURREAL UNCHARTERED FLIGHT INTO A SMILE
TO THE PLACE WHERE THE DEVIL ONCE GREW
STAND STILL-LET THE WATER RUSH THROUGH
THERE’S A TREE THAT THE WANTS TO SHARE
COUNT THE RINGS THRU MY ALCOHOL STARE
 
2.
 I’VE SEEN THE SIDES OF LOVES
LEFT ALL MY FLIRTATIONS WHERE….
THE SNOWY SPRINGS WOULD STING ME TILL I’M COLD
AND I’M COLD
TAKE ME BACK TO MY GRANDFATHER’S DAYS
SPEAK TO GOD-IT’S A SPIRITUAL CRAZE
GOTTA DANCE ON THE GRAVES OF MY YOUTH
GONNA CHANGE THE TREE CARVINGS OF TRUTH
MY ODE TO YOU
 
CHORUS:
WON’T YOU TAKE US WHERE
THE CHILD GOT SCARED
THIS EVENINGS SUN’S ABOUT TO LEAVE US
SO SKIN THE CAT, SINK WATER RAFT
THOSE SPANISH GIRLS MIGHT DISAPPOINT US
MID SUMMER CHILL, SOME CIDER SPILLS
OUR DAY MIGHT BREAK TOO SOON.
BUT WITH TIME TO KILL
ON SILHOTT HILL
WE WATCHED HANGOVER MOON (3)
DAY BREAKS TOO SOON.
 
 
3.
TO SAVE THE SOLEMN STARS-PLAYTHINGS FOR A DISTANT CHILD
THE GREATEST FEAR LIES WASTED ON THE TRAIL.
BUT THE HUMBLEST CANYON I KNEW
LET ME INTO IT’S MAGICAL HUE
ARE THE BONES FULL OF WHISPERS FOR ME
WILL I STRAY FROM THE SAND TO THE SEA
OR WILL I STAY-WILL I STAY
 
CHORUS:
PLUS
GO ON GO ON -STAY SCARED FOR MILES
YOUR SECRETS OUT- YOUR SECRET SMILE
YOUR DEVIL SHAKES- BUT SELDOM WAKES
YOUR DAY MIGHT BREAK TOO SOON.
 
WE WATCHED HANGOVER MOON -DAY BREAKS TOO SOON.

GLIDE-
 
Verse.1
I’ve been dreaming this too long
Of a Bird No Flight No Song
How she lit up our lives
How she found her way at night
 
I seek shelter feed my head 
Other worlds where rhythms met
Some forgive Some forget
I just hold on, hold on, hold…
 
Chorus:
Is there a world where we could Glide
High as Fireworks in the sky
Find a window I could see
See Your face once more for real
Into the Hall where we could dine
High as Fireworks in the sky
Find a window I could see
See your face once more for real
 
Woh Oh Oh….
 
Verse.2:
Nice of Angels to chill my Heart
To Play Their golden peaceful harp
Turn my face to hear their song
But I can’t take their wisdom home.
 
Just to open up this box
Where Holy Sages turn back clocks
Night and Days -Will I run…
I’ll just hold on hold on hold
 
Chorus:
 
Oh Heaven Casts It’s Starry Dance around you
Throw our troubles to the Light
Will I Heal Tonight
I Don’t Know…….
 
There’s a Pill -my heart won’t feel no more-no more
There’s a Pill -my heart won’t feel no more-no more
 
There’s a Pill -my heart won’t feel no more-no more
(Is there a world where we could Glide)
 
There’s a Pill -my heart won’t feel no more-no more
(High as Fireworks in the sky) 
 
There’s a Pill -my heart won’t feel no more-no more
(Is there a world where we could Glide)
 
There’s a Pill -my heart won’t feel no more-no more
(High as Fireworks in the sky)
No more.

Assume too much:
 
Verse 1:
Don’t you Blow all your dreams
Your Managers have flattered to deceive.
And Don’t be low now Don’t go Underground
Under a Rock you Climbed
They’ll never hear your Sound
 
Chorus:
And The Wise may suffer
At the hands of a brother
And The Great Divide
Undignified
We All send up our Sighs
Etch Rainbows in The Skies
And find Horizons
Are Lines of Bitter Tears
Did we assume Too much?
 
Verse 2:
Won’t be time to Live and Breathe
They broke your home and sunk your refugee
Spoke too Loud and Life will Cut You Down
When you go Insane
They’ll never hear your sound.
 
Chorus:
Did we assume too much times 3 and Assume Too Much once.
Find Your Heart- If You’re Afraid to dream
If You’re Afraid to Fall-You’ll never See!

FISH:
 
Verse 1:
You wanna save the country
While the world subsides
I dreamt about an Old Age Hippy
So I dug his old advice
I Met a girl like Princess Leia
She splashed about with me
She showed me all around a kinder world
And the calmness of the sea
 
A Festival of Urchins
Like the Palace of Versailles
Where the Cheese and Toast Religion boasts
Could never blow our mind
Everything was made for love
Like a California Dream
My heart was David Niven
And now it’s Steve Mc Queen
 
Chorus:
I wish I wish I was a fish
I’d swim about your eyes
I’d Drift up to your groove Ocean
Under covers of Night
I’d Dive into the Edges
Where the Tides will greet the rain
I’d fool them all and god almighty
The World won’t see my shame
 
 
Verse 2:
Cover me Poseidon and may Neptune say my name
Cos pretty Petrol soaks my skin thru and the plastic hurts my brain
And All The Mermaids that I long for
Are Just sinking thru the Swell
Are all The Poets- See Utopia
When Utopia is Hell
 
A Momentary reflection
There’s a little place I go
It’s a 100 miles from anyplace Columbus didn’t know
So sad I kiss fallen Rainbows
Colours pass me by
Let Me In Oh Let’s Begin
Oh Let’s Get Into Life
 
Chorus
 
Repeat till end
(I’m)Coming Up For Air Now
Memories are Chill
I’d Rather stay beneath the Sea
Where the Heart beats Still

The Man Don’t Talk So Good:
 
Verse 1:

Fallen over the Edge                                                      
Come Apart at the Seams                           
My Rage is Winning the War                     
Made a Martyr of me                                   
Somebody hold me down fast                  
Like Gulliver in the Sand                              
 I spill an innocent glass                                
I hold my heart in my hand                    

Well I dreamed so Big                                   
That I need you now                                     
Like a haunted Coat                                       
That I wear too Loud                                     
The blood runs cold                                       
On a pavement black                                    
The Man Don’t talk So Good.                    
 
Verse 2:
I’ll be the butt of your joke                         
I’m Gonna Surf the Whole Damn Wave
​
And my head is Spinning Like Coke         
To Your Altar I crawl                                      
I need a fire in my veins                                                              
A Little fire in my veins                                
A little chase to the Stars                                            
I Pray to the sins in my Head                     
Wave to Ollie above                                      
 
(Chorus)
 
The Devil Don’t Do me no Good               
He Don’t Play Like he Should                     
 
Ba Ba Ba-Wo-oh-oh-oh(*3)                        
The Man Don’t Talk So Good(*3)            
 
Come up and See Me Sometime(Repeats)                          
Time(Repeats to End)

Woodshed:
 
Verse 1:
 
Papa Come Out of the WoodShed
Brother come out of the Tree
Mama turned her world- Upside down
Brought the strangest town to it’s knees
 
And Lady of Rock won’t save me
Strangers they don’t know
Playing Stopped-Time to Let go….
 
Chorus:
Virgin Mary Got my Mama
And the Rain Just got My Tear (*2)
 
Verse 2:
Somebody Stop. Somebody Care.
It’s a Spiritual day
And the Men in their coats aren’t for Turning
Turn now Save Your Soul.
Child’s like a slave in the dark
Who rescues you- When the Daylight Sparks.
 
It’s Like I’m 8 years old
On the Edge of Space
Winter hints of Spring.
Jealous God
Must Youth lose it’s Fling.
 
Chorus
Virgin Mary Got My Mama And the Rain just got my Tear” (*4)
