FOLLOW ME HOME
I don’t write no poetry cos I just say what I want to say
And I can’t hide; skirting around - I just walk; I go my own way
I will walk alone, I will walk alone, I will walk alone til I find my way home
So follow me home cos I don’t want to be on my own
I will walk alone, I will walk alone, I will walk alone til I get myself home so follow me home or I’ll arrive on my own
Across the bridge to your heart; it’s where you live
but we’ve been running away
Got no map and there ain’t no chart back to the start;
that’s where everything was ok
I will walk alone, I will walk alone, I will walk alone til
I find my way home
So follow me home cos I don’t want to be on my own
I will walk alone, I will walk alone, I will walk alone til
I get myself home so follow me home or I’ll arrive on
my own
I don’t write no poetry; I’m trying to build some
peace in my mind
Yesterday I was holding on but I can’t stop the passage
of time
I will walk alone, I will walk alone, I will walk alone til
I find my way home
So follow me home cos I don’t want to be on my own
I will walk alone, I will walk alone, I will walk alone til
I get myself home so follow me home
Just follow me home cos I don’t want to be on my own
GREY SKIES
I got grey skies; looking at the silver lining shining down
on me yeah
Grey skies; I swear that this winter weather won’t tether
in my wings
Turn on the tap I got hot water, pick up the phone and I got
a friend
I got some pennies in my pocket and I have music to keep me
satisfied
I got grey skies; looking at the silver lining shining down
on me yeah
Grey skies; I swear that this winter weather won’t tether
in my wings
Lay down my head I got a pillow, turn round in bed and I got
my lover too
And in the morning we’ll drink some coffee and we have
music to see this love on through
We got grey skies; looking at the silver lining shining down
on me and you
Grey skies; I swear that this winter weather won’t tether
in our wings
Grey skies, grey skies, grey skies, and this winter weather
Sipping drinks around the table they all got such sad stories
to tell
They try to smile; sometimes they’re able and they have
music to warm their hearts as well
They got grey skies; looking at the silver lining shining
down on me and them
Grey skies; I swear that this winter weather won’t tether
in our wings
Grey skies; looking at the silver lining shining down
Grey skies; I swear that this winter weather won’t tether
a thing
STUCK IN THE CITY
Sometimes I want to make headlines and shock all the world
with the knowledge in my mind
But I imagine I can’t find the answers we seek when
I’m sitting in the spotlight
Because I’m in the city - I’m in the city - My
mind keeps tripping; my heart is slipping away
Because I’m in the city - I’m in the city - My
mind keeps tripping; my heart is slipping
My feet start skipping - I’m in the city today
Next time I promise we’ll be fine and now that I’ve
gone I just wanted to say bye
I’ll find my way to the next life by walking away from
this old lie - see you on the other side
Because I’m in the city - I’m in the city - My
mind keeps tripping; my heart is slipping away
Because I’m in the city - I’m in the city - My
mind keeps tripping; my heart is slipping
My feet start skipping - I’m in the city today - I’m
stuck in the city - I’m stuck in the city - I’m
stuck in the city
The city - I’m stuck in the city - I’ve got to
get out of, away from the city
City - I’m lost in the city - I’ve got to fight
my way right out of the city
Because I’m in the city - I’m in the city - My
mind keeps tripping; my heart is slipping away
Because I’m in the city - I’m in the city - My
mind keeps tripping; my heart is slipping
My feet start skipping - I’m in the city today - I’m
stuck in the city - I’m stuck in the city - I’m
stuck in the city
Sometimes I want to make headlines and shock all the world
with the vision in my eyes
SILVER NAILS
My thoughts are like silver nails running through my head
- My mind like this silver nail lying in my bed
I never thought I could get enough; I'd given up on a thing
called love; my heart was battered bruised and broken, ow
I said the sky was falling down; I laid my soul upon the ground
with every word that could be spoken, yeah
My thoughts are like silver nails running through my head
- My mind like this silver nail lying in my bed
I went to sit down with my friends it was A&R and the
super gems; walked in the room it started spinning, oh
Visions of insanity and losing touch with humanity but I made
my way back to the beginning, yeah
My thoughts are like silver nails running through my head
- My mind like this silver nail lying in my bed
Follow through until the end - Don’t fall through;
I’ll change the end
My thoughts are like silver nails running through my head
- My mind like this silver nail lying in my bed
My thoughts are like silver nails running through my head
- My mind like this silver nail lying in my bed
A DAY AGO
I'm losing hope, I'm falling down - A day ago everything
was sound
But now I'm doubting cos nothing's what I've found - My
feet got broken when I hit the ground
I'm losing faith and spinning round - A day ago everything
was sound
My eyes are burning, ears are bleeding now - Just another
day in this godforsaken town
A day ago everything was sound - A day ago everything was
sound
I'm losing time, I don't know how - A day ago everything
was sound
I'm tearing down mountains to make a mound - My head is
blazing, blinded by this crown
A day ago everything was sound - A day ago everything was
sound
A day ago everything was sound - A day ago everything was
sound

The government’s assured that things will turn out
sunny but I just want to lay down on this floor
You know what I’m trying to tell ya but I can’t
do it for you said I cant do nothin like that no I cant
do nothin like that
You know what I’m trying to give ya but I can’t
get it for you said I cant do nothin like that no I cant

in my soul
It’s kind of frightening - Just a bit exciting - And
I’ll be turning lead to gold

I’ll be squeezing blood from stones
It’s just a metaphor cos I’ve been wanting more
so I’m choosing what’s in store from now on
it’s just a metaphor
LIBERTY SONG

PINING FOR YOU
Pining for you; I’ve been pining for you, since that
day - Thinking of you; just been thinking of you, every
day
Shying from you; I’ve been shying from you, too scared
to say
Hey, I was so strong but now I’m weak at the knees
- Hey, guess I was wrong, and you were right, or so it seems
Hey, we play along and I pretend it doesn’t matter
to me - Hey, since that day, since that day, since that
day
Share it with you; I’d like to share this with you,
if it’s ok - Being with you; I just like being with
you, and it’s ok
Hey, it’s been so long since I’ve had to walk
this line - Hey, I sing a song, then it feels like everything’s
fine
Hey, so now it’s gone and I’m alone again and
out of time - Hey, since that day
Pining for you; I’ve been pining for you, since that
day - every day since that day
NOT LOVE
Is this love? Because I don’t have the strength to
fight; my heart aches in the night as I lye awake
Is this love? Never thought it would feel like this; I should’ve
given you that little kiss, but I...
Is this love? Because everything else has gone to waste;
you know I never act with haste; I just needed time
Is this love? I never thought I could fall for you but after
all we’ve been through
Love? Not Love - Love? Not Love - Let me tell you something
Love ain’t romance cos romance fades so fast - Give
real love a chance cos there’s a difference
A real big difference - They are different; a big bit different
- Said they are different; they are really different
Is this love? I don’t think you know what it means;
you keep chasing broken dreams; they just break your heart
Is this love? I never thought you could pass it by and just
let the real thing die
Love? Not Love - But I was wondering, Love? Not Love
HEART OF HEARTS
I got a lusting for you baby and you got a lusting for me
too
I am dripping wet with intention but I’m going to
break that heart of yours
Because I want you; I don’t need you - I need nothing
baby; just want to please you
My love changes every moment; it could set you free yeah
I got some loving for you baby and you got another loving
you
My love is always - my love is everyone - my love is everywhere
- my love would break your heart in two
Because I want you; I don’t need you - I need nothing
baby; just want to please you
My love changes every moment; it could set you free yeah
Awaken! Heart of all things - Heart of the Universe - It’s
the heart of hearts
Because I want you; I don’t need you - I need nothing
baby; just want to please you
My love changes every moment; it could set you free yeah

If a rocket left for the stars well you won’t find

truth
So I’m just gonna be seizing the day cos I ain’t

heart?
And I am gonna be leaden astray cos I’m just prying,

If a rocket left for the stars well you won’t find
me on Mars cos I ain’t gunna b flying away
I am telling you, I am telling you that I ain’t gonna
be runnin away cos I’m just trying, not crying to
stay
SHE BUILT A WALL
She built a wall around her heart cos she’s afraid
of loving
The wall is big and it’s beautiful but it will give
her nothing
The pain inside has turned to stone and now the bricks are
leaking
She doesn’t know if it will hold so she’s not
much for speaking
She built a wall around her soul cos she wants to be stronger
It steals the light as shadows rise; it can’t go on
much longer
She wonders why she feels so sad and if it lasts forever
She doesn’t know the wall is there but it is going
to break her
She built a wall - She built a wall
She built a wall around her skin to keep you at a distance
It doesn’t let your feelings in; she’ll feed
on your resistance
Before it all comes crashing down she survives on indifference
But soon it falls into the ground so she can make a difference
She built a wall around her life; you can’t see what
she’s hiding
And if her time is meaningless her faith is not residing
She doesn’t want; she doesn’t mind; your words
are ineffective
I’ll tear it down to let her shine inside of the collective
She built a wall - She built a wall
