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
Verse 1
The Bear of the Bad dreams
Just Came alive.
So cancel the circus
No Hugs or Fights
King of the Flash Car
Flash That Smile yea
Put Whiskey in His Honey
The Bear Got Style
You Know The Bears Alive…
Verse 2.
So Turn another Dream off
Feel The Force
Ride into The Country
Then Shoot That Horse
Fix a Brother Easy
Then Trick his mind
The World is falling on Us
The Cage is Fine
And the Bear won’t play your Silly Little Games
No more Lazy Times.
Chorus:
Take me to your Leader
And Don’t Talk Back
Takes your blood to feed ya
What’s All That
The Bear of the Bad Dreams
Just came Alive
He’s crashed another country
It’s over the side
You know the Bears Alive
You Know The Bears Alive-Oh Yea
Woh Oh Woh Oh Woh Oh Woh Oh
Woh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh(*4)
You Know The Bears Alive
Nearly 40 Years
Nothing Safe Outside
Taken Most of It
You know The Bears Alive
You know The Bears Alive
Oh Yea
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)

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
© Col Patterson 2016
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)
