I’m Not Around
It started out with the best intentions
Make the world feel good
Celebrating happiness
Just like we should
The tide washed me away
The river dragged me down
Now it’s better for everyone
If I’m not around
I wish I was a charm
So full of luck
But all I ever do is harm
The people I love
There’s no cure or philosophy
That can be found
It’s just better for everyone
If I’m not around
Sorry if I lost my way
I didn’t wanna let you down
The evil in my heart outweighs
Any good that can be found
Think of all the money spent
Making me well
It’s just no argument
I’m a living hell
It doesn’t matter where I turn
Coming up or down
It’s better for everyone
If I’m not around
I’m not around.

In a Natural Way

In a Natural Way
Like a winter’s night
Your thoughts are so cold
This bird’s escaped to fly
But you’ll never know
Silhouette of a man
Against the moonlight
Cigarette in his hand
A burning desire
New waves bring warning
New sounds that shine
Tangled in the morning
I wish you were mine
Screams of love
They rise and decay
I’m falling to pieces
In a Natural Way
Icy tears I cry
They flow for the world
This bird’s escaped to fly
Away from that girl
Silhouette of a man
Against the moonlight
Cigarette in his hand
A burning desire
New waves bring warning
New sounds that shine
Tangled in the morning
I wish you were mine
Screams of love
They rise and decay
I’m falling to pieces
In a Natural Way

Hold On Tight

Hold on Tight
A foolish act that turns out well
Will always be a foolish act
And what’s a fool? Well I can’t tell
Maybe you’re one as well?
Maybe I’m one as well?
The world is big
The world is bright
If you find love
Hold on tight
I love whiskey and I like wine
Baby don’t you hold back
A friend of your is a friend of mine
Unless they read the Zodiac
Why do people read the Zodiac?
The world is big
And it’s so unkind
Hold on tight
If it’s love you find
Hold on tight
Sometimes love can lead to hell
On the wrong track
And what is time?
I can’t tell
I know you won’t get it back
Oh I know you won’t get it back
The world is round
And it’s out of sight
Hold on tight if it’s love you find
The world is big
The world is bright
If you find love
Hold on tight

Between the Lines
Somewhere in the middle of April
I opened your letter and cried
It was hateful
I’m surprised you just didn’t call me
I’m amazed you took so much time
It opened my eyes
Oh, I had no idea what you had in mind
But now you’ve made it clear
I read the signs
Oh, when you let me know about all your lies
I won’t forgive this time
Now I can read between the lines
You make everything look so easy
It never seemed to trouble your mind
To please me
I’ve been stumbling ‘round in this basement
This little dark room is my life
It’s my life
Oh, I had no idea what you had in mind
But now you’ve made it clear
I read the signs
Oh, when you let me know about all your lies
I won’t forgive this time
Now I can read between the lines
Just let me be
Take it back
Back to where it used to be
I’m tired
I’m tired and lonely and it hurts
Just like anyone I want what I deserve

Coin Drop

Coin Drop
When your void seems infinite
Like if you dropped a coin
It would never end
But it will
It will end
And maybe your heart is like a deep well
And the coin drop took
Longer than you felt
I would
And it should
But maybe you heart some day
Will fill with love
So for heaven’s sake
Let it fill
Fill it up
And some day
When it’s you that’s gone
Someone will become the one
That you were
Just as you were
And everything goes on this way
Everyone must contemplate
For themselves
No one else
Contemplate for yourself
No one else

Let's Get Lost

Let’s Get Lost
Let’s get lost and skip this old town
The price is up and the mood has gone down
How many nights can I spend in a bar?
Now it’s straight line chasin’ the moon and the stars
But my patience is long
From the battles I’ve won
The mistakes that I’ve made
Hade paid their cost
I bet my heart and I lost
Highway 1 at a quarter to 4
I can’t say I’ve been this way before
The stereo plays ‘Space is the Place’
Right lane drivers, they think it’s a race
But my patience is long
From the battles I’ve won
The mistakes that I’ve made
Have paid their cost
I bet my heart and I lost
All those God fearing people
Hold us back in time
They threaten all our futures
They’re a deluded warring kind
I drove away now nothing has changed
A different place but the problem remains
Time is tight, no room to speak of
So I’m heading home to the people I love
Hope their patience is long
‘Cause now I’m in the wrong
And forgive my mistakes
‘Cause I’ve paid the cost
I bet my heart and I lost
I lost

The Garden
I dreamed that I could fly
And I hovered over the future
I saw black smoke over fire
And slaves carrying a bugle
That was blown by a squire
Who was leading men to battle
I could hear their beating drums
And their cries to rouse the rabble
There were angel wings with blood
And a queen upon a castle
And she cried for everyone

Red Hill
It’s been a sleepless seven days
I’m beside myself, I just can’t wait
I’ll meet you by that burned out hall
Up in Red Hill, down by that graffiti wall
You’ll wear a dress, your hair down long
In double denim I’ll be humming this song
You’ll get it right
You always will
Let’s talk it over
Up on Red Hill
You give me soul
You make time stand still
Let’s talk it over up on Red Hill
Your searching eyes
They find my pain
You hypnotise
My brain
From codeine highs
To those mean lows
How you compromise
God only knows
You’ll get it right
You always will
Let’s talk it over
Up on Red Hill
You give me soul
You make time stand still
Let’s talk it over
Up on Red Hill
Upon the hill
Up on Red Hill
