When You Come Around
04:10
|
|||
|
My eyes cannot always see what is right in front of me
I think that I’m afraid.
You see, life seems to have a way
Of making me nervous, of making me pay
But when you come around I have usually found
That I forget what it’s like to panic
How I feel lonely when the sun has set.
Your smile makes the world seem bright
Just like the colours In a rainbow sky.
You say the funniest things
Suddenly my heart sings
To the world
And your eyes tell me you care
I feel there’s someone there
Gives me hope
When you come around, I have usually found
That the outlooks more hopeful when you come around
And I see what it means to be loved.

Benny's Hallelujah
03:44
|
|||
|
Benny's playground warzone never felt like a fair fight
The boy's would tie his arms and legs and get Melanie to bite
He'd try to hide at break time but they'd find him all too quick
So he'd hide inside his own mind, or pretend that he was sick
But hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Chorus
Hallelujah, hallelujah, the knots all came undone,
and nobody is gonna do ya
Hallelujah, hallelujah, you know that God is on your side
When all the bullets pass right through ya
Benny's dinner money went on ten bags of quavers
Then he'd sneak on down the gravel pits to watch his feathered
saviours
He'd sometimes stay all afternoon coz he had a rebel heart
Then he'd sit and plan his great escape like a warrior set apart
Hey, Hey, hey, hey, hey
Chorus
Benny got across the border to another playground in the sun
Where all the girls would talk and smile, and the boys let him
join in the fun
He'd sometimes make the whole class laugh, got to play drums in
the band
And a pretty angel called Laura Dee drew love hearts on his hand.
chorus x2
Sing out for Benny's Hallelujah.

A Human Being
03:46
|
|||
|
Sometimes I'm a lake on a warm summers day,
Tranquil and calm in the sun's golden rays
But sometimes I'm a storm, I flare for moment,
thunder and roar till the rain goes away, away, away
Chorus
You're the rock that I will cling to,
You're the ocean that cools the pain
You hold me tight and turn me into
A human being again
Sometimes I'm a frog, squashed by the roadside
People drive cars and I get in the way
But sometimes I'm a dragon, I breath fire
Trying to drag all the bad guys away, away, away.
Chorus
You are my rock, you are the ocean, you hold me tight
And turn me into a human being, a human being, a human being
Now I'm a human being again

The Common Thread
03:16
|
|||
|
I’m searching for the common thread
To this chameleon existence
But when I look inside my head
It fades into the distance
I roll my final cigarette
Encounter no resistance
Then it starts to rain
It’s not just blue skies that turn my heart into a songbird
Cloudy days can sing of heaven too.
I’m searching for the common thread to this chameleon existence
And it looks uncommonly like you.
Some say that we’re just flesh and bones.
Some say that we’re pure spirit.
Some say that we’re intelligent and that the sky’s the limit.
I see a puddle on the ground and watch my face float in it
Then I catch your smile
It’s not just blue skies that turn my heart into a songbird
Cloudy days can sing of heaven too.
I’m searching for the common thread to this chameleon existence
And it looks uncommonly like you
I’m searching for the common thread, to this chameleon existence
And it looks uncommonly like you.

Take the weight off your feet, sit down with me
Here’s a good place to look at the view.
Don’t be hard on yourself, coz you really don’t need
To carry all the pain that you do
Chorus
You don’t have to be strong
You don’t have to be strong
You don’t have to be strong
Here in my arms
No you don’t have to speak, your sigh says enough
Reminds me, of sad memories.
And the tear on your cheek, is a song in itself
It just needed, a quiet release.
Chorusx2

The Way Life Works
04:01
|
|||
|
This is the way life works, as we walk through our beautiful world.
You take what you're given, and give what you can.
Float down the river and rest in the sand.
But sometimes it just doesn't work.
This is the way life works, as we wander the oceans of love.
You fall for another, and they fall for you.
Cling to each other, and one becomes two.
But sometimes it just doesn't work. It doesn't work.
And it's my turn to fall tonight
Tiny like a firefly.
I fade and flicker as the darkness falls
Could you hold up a light to shine
Brighter than this stormy night, over the sea?
This is the way life works, as you lay yourself down to sleep
You dream of a future with everything knew
And you try to reach her, so she can dream too
But sometimes it just doesn't work.
This is the way life works

Fallout
04:41
|
|||
|
And your face is the fallout, and your face is the cure.
I can't hold onto something that's not there anymore
In my dreams I’m a strongman, all my words turn to gold
In my dreams you’re still here and I’m still whole
I can still see your gentle smile as you whispered my name
You said "Come here, take my hand now,
There's something I need to say.
Don’t you live your life in the past my love,
Your dreams can still come true."
Hey sit down, let me take my last look at you”.
Ohohohohoh ohohohohooh ohohohooooh
Reach out, clutch it to my chest this piece of fallout
Radiation blues are all I feel now.
Feel I cannot live but it’s not true.
Truth is all I’m seeking but I can’t find
Cannot find the meaning to this half life
Half the time I’m sleeping but I can’t lie
I can never lie again with you
And your face is the fallout, and your face is the cure
And your memory is the treasure of it all

You Know You're Alive
05:46
|
|||
|
I sit down beside an old man on a park bench
The world on my shoulders, I'm trying not to cry
And he looks over my way, says, "How are you doing?
Would you like my last polo and a bit of advice?"
I say "You mean, don't take sweets from strangers"
He smiles, and says, "I see life haunts you.
Well you know that's not such a bad sign.
Coz the pain that you're feeling right now son
Means you're alive.
You know you're alive
Chorus
When you're sharing the hurt of a heart broken lover,
Or the loss of a friend who you meet on the street
And when sad songs are calling in the leaves that are falling
As they dance with us old folk to that three/four beat
You know you're alive."
A young man sits down on the bus seat beside me,
He looks like he's been through one hell of a fight
So I try to be friendly, I say "How are you doing?
Could I give you this mars bar coz you're looking quite tired?"
He says "I don't take sweets from strangers"
I smile and say "I see life haunts you,
Well you know that's not such a bad sign
Coz the pain that you're feeling right now son,
It means your alive, you know you're alive
Chorus x2
You know you're alive, you know you're alive, you know you're alive

Touching Green
06:48
|
|||
|
Touching green, I’m touching red,
I'm touching purple, inside your head
You’re seeing blue, you’re feeling white,
Breathing black, under the light
But you’re coming through clear tonight
The desert's parched, we’re seeking an oasis
For wounded hearts, for freedom from the sand
Our journeys long, and the camel is getting lamer
But we’re coming through clear tonight.
Green is the colour of our dreams,
And no-one knows the visions we have seen
We are the lonely ones running on empty
But we hold onto life, by touching green
And I'm touching green, I'm touching red,
I'm touching purple, inside your head
Am I coming through, coming through clear tonight.
Green is the colour of our dreams
And no-one knows the visions we have seen
We were the lonely ones, running on empty
As we searched for a cool mountain stream?
We're not the only ones, Now that it's over
We can lay down to rest touching green

David Fee Campbeltown, UK
Neither music, nor life, should be a lonely journey.
Music is about making connections and
trying to make sense of it all together. That's the thing I'm aiming for when I write and record.
