CENTURY SKY

You make the spirit cry
Oh when you only see a century sky
Already all the bloody stench in the sky
Can only go onto a century sky
Why do you wana get on into feeling fine
When already all the bloody stench gone wide
Ozoney story and the sun will drive
A stony road some kinda' joy-ride
I released an album of love
Tokyo rose got blown in a war
In '45 but now ya' can't see far
Only go onto another pa
Let the spirit rock it onto your soul
Nobody likes it when it's feeling cold
Don't you feel the fire gone two-fold
God only knows the goddess has to show
Look up into the sky
Our scientists are gonna build a world in the sky
Some may stay but some would rather be gone
And nobody knows whether I got it wrong
You know your thoughts will buy
A politician vyin' to be on your side
But it all depends on how he's had to survive
God only knows the spirit's got to shine

Spirit shine, spirit shine, spirit shine, spirit shine
Spirit shine, spirit shine, spirit shine, spirit shine

I speak of power and love
Politics and beauty of the kingdom solar
Seen another boy child waitin' for food
And hoping for life and not a bloody feud
Let the spirit rock it on to your soul
Nobody likes it when it's feeling cold
Don't you see the signs under the century sky?
God only knows the people got to survive

Spirit shine, spirit shine, spirit shine, spirit shine
Spirit shine, spirit shine, spirit shine, spirit shine

PRICE OF LIFE

(co-written with Kim Shaw-Williams)

When I complain, those that love me
Think I have no excuse
For a long time now
Been trying to explain
I’m not in love with pain
It’s the boredom and the trivia
The lying and the corruption
Politicians and the media
That are driving me insane
I need some freedom to line my life
Nights on the town to bide the time
Able to pay the rent and all my debts
Such is the price of life
When I complain those that love me
Think I don’t have a clue
For a long lime
Been trying to get by
I know how to survive
But it’s the boredom and the trivia
The lying and the corruption
Politicians and the media
That are driving me insane
My mum would say when I’s a child
Keep your head high and smile
She knew what came next as I went away
Such is the price of life
Such is the price of life

PRISONER FILE

Once in a while
I will come to see you
Once in a while
I will train to be with you
And then you’ll smile
And then we’ll smile
And then we’ll go wild
Wanting to fuck each other to make a child
Your own way
Your own way
You want some drugs
They want some too
Far out wasted day
Acting real cool
And then you’ll smile
You can all smile
And then you’ll go wild
You know the story you old schooler
So many
So many
Long as your arm
Your record goes on
Twenty-six years
Of felony dares
I close my eyes
Want you to fly
Far far away from here
It’s hard to bare
Change your ways
Change your ways
I cross my legs
Sitting in here
Visiting room
Lovers and ladies all crowd the room
Bubbas in waiting call ‘round too soon
Hubbies and darlings all cloud the gloom
Do the crime do the time
Do the crime do the time
Do the crime do the time
Crime and time
Time to cry
We go away

SOLID LOVE

I keep thinking ‘bout your old, old friend
Must she be the end of our two-year rendezvous?
I keep wonderin’ ‘bout her glowin’ skin
Are you next of kin?
The one she’ll come running to
Oh darlin’, I hope that you’ll understand
The way I feel when I’m not there
Oh babe, you’ve gotta make up your mind
I may not stay around
Hon one day when you go o’er her place
And I’m full of haste from what I’m goin’ through
Gather up my gear and furniture
Must you believe her for the rest of your life?
Oh man, maybe I’m old-fashioned
I’ll never be your wife
Damn, you’ve gotta make up your mind
Please stand up for your right
Solid love is something worth keeping
I feel you’re keeping her’s, not my love
Well I wouldn’t wanna waste my time
Dealing with my crime of feeling jealous
Ashamed, I’ve got it all in my head
But what else shall we do
I came into this life for a man
My darling is it you
Love and happiness is my answer
To the mental blur and emotional blackmail
I’ve got a life to live and I love you
But shall I dismiss when I feel like this
Why don’t you stop seeing her?
Why don’t you stop being with her?
Why don’t you stop covering me?
Why don’t you stop ignorance?
Why don’t you see me?
Why don’t you perceive me?
Why don’t you hear me darling?
Why don’t you believe me, believe me, believe me
I know you’ll plead for me
I know you’ll discover me
I know you constantly
You just don’t understand
Thanks for ever giving me some strength
Life’s a big event
It goes on for a lifetime
