Chain
Gentle breezes touch you
the sun is shining high.
Laugh and cry together
and you’ve made a friend for life.
Forge the links of friendship
through sacrifice and pain.
Join the links together
the bonding of the chain.
Everybody wants someone to hold.
Everybody wants someone to hold.
Everybody wants someone to hold.
Everybody wants someone to hold.
Feel the winds start blowing
a change is on the way.
But friends are friends forever
even if they’re far away.
All the years of growing
sharing love and pain.
Seeing each for what you are
the stronger is the chain.
Everybody wants someone to hold.
Everybody wants someone to hold.
Everybody wants someone to hold.
Everybody wants someone to hold.
Gentle breezes touch you
the sun is shining high.
Laugh and cry together
and you’ve made a friend for life.

2 Sides To The Story

2 Sides To The Story
There’s always 2 sides to the story
2 stories of pain.
In all this time of living
it’s always the same.
Why don’t we learn?
Why don’t we learn to take a problem
and fix it with our minds?
Look for a solution
and stop just wasting time.
Bleeding hearts are broken in despair.
Try to make a difference
dependence on ourselves.
Stuck in a dilemma
breaking all the rules.
Bleeding hearts are broken everywhere.
There’s always 2 sides to the story
2 stories of pain.
Feeling all the anguish
it’s happened again.
Why don’t we learn?
Why don’t we learn to think and talk through
problems that appear?
Answers don’t come easy
learn to ease the fear.
Bleeding hearts are making some repair.
There’s always 2 sides to the story
2 stories of pain.
In all this time of living
it’s always the same.
Breaking down the barrier.
Soak up the pain.
Ease the fear of living.
Start living again.
There’s always 2 sides to the story.
There’s always 2 sides to the story.
There’s always 2 sides to the story.
There’s always 2 sides to the story.
Why don’t we learn?

Small Points
There’s something wrong but she won’t tell.
She’s got no voice, nor sight, nor smell.
She’s insecure - wants to keep to herself.
She’s got no soul, nor debt, nor wealth.
She makes me feel so small,
Like nothing at all.
She’s feeling down, empty inside.
She’s got no love, nor hope, nor pride.
She runs away, starts blaming me.
She’s got no care, not safe, nor free.
She makes me feel so small,
Like nothing at all.
I try to reach out
But she starts to shout…
Get away, go on, get out of my sight.
All alone, leave me here. Turn out the light.
Run away, leave me alone.
Throw a plate, pots and pans, smash the place up.
Anger out, let off steam, but leave me a cup.
Kettle boils, throwing a stone…
I see her now lying alone.
She’s got no blood, nor flesh, nor bone.
Her skin is taut, stretched and bent.
She’s got no thought - don’t know what she meant.
She makes me feel so small,
Like nothing at all.
She’s sleeping deep, merged with death.
She’s got no lungs - can’t take a breath.
Running away I’m looking beat.
I’ve got no legs, nor hands, nor feet.
She makes me feel so small,
Like nothing at all.
There’s something wrong, so very much.
We’ve got no voice - we’re out of touch…

Lingering
Babe, I’m kicking the ground, stumbling around
I don’t know where I am.
Babe, I’m asking you why you left me dry?
I don’t understand.
Just like a dream you’ve gone but the memory lingers on.
When I think of the times we’d blown our minds
with the songs we heard.
It was so long ago and we’ve nothing to show,
it seems so absurd.
Just like a dream it’s gone but the memory lingers on.
Dream baby, scream baby, run away.
Talk with me, walk with me
What can I say today?
Shake my life, take my life, break me.
Talk with me, walk with me.
Take me on your way.
Just like a dream you’ve gone but the memory lingers on.
The songs may remain but I’m not the same
as I used to be.
I’ve looked back to then and I wonder again
how I could not see.
Just like a dream it’s gone but the memory lingers on.
Dream baby, scream baby, run away.
Talk with me, walk with me
What can I say today?
Shake my life, take my life, break me.
Talk with me, walk with me.
Take me on your way.

The Sun Is Crying
The sun is crying, I’m feeling old.
The sun is crying, I am so cold.
The sun is crying…
Where is the warmth?
Where is the heart?
Where is the soul?
The sun is crying.
The sun is crying.
A star is falling, I cannot see.
A star is falling, it couldn’t be.
A star is falling…
Where is the warmth?
Where is the heart?
Where is the soul?
A star is falling.
A star is falling.
The earth is crumbling, it’s all around.
The earth is crumbling, it is not sound.
The earth is crumbling…
Where is the warmth?
Where is the heart?
Where is the soul?
The earth is crumbling.
The earth is crumbling.
A river’s running, it’s running dry.
A river’s running, who am I?
A river’s running…
Where is the warmth?
Where is the heart?
Where is the soul?
A river’s running.
A river’s running
A child is laughing, it fills the air.
A child is laughing, the world can share.
A child is laughing…
Here is the warmth.
Here is the heart.
Here is the soul.
A child is laughing.
A child is laughing.
A child is laughing.
A child is laughing.
A child is laughing.
A child is laughing. Yeah!

Something Comes Along

Something Comes Along
See clearly and hear
just walk and talk to me
clearly. I’m free but…
Something comes along, takes you by surprise.
Looking straight ahead through blind eyes.
Something comes along to change the state of play.
You keep going on. What can you say?
Run, run away. Run far away.
Someone comes along and takes a look at you.
You just turn your face. What can you do?
Someone comes along and takes your breath away.
You turn your back, don’t want to play.
See clearly and hear
just walk and talk to me
clearly. I’m free, don’t
run away, don’t run far away.
Take time, time to stay. Time, time to play.
See clearly and hear
just walk and talk to me
clearly. I’m free but…
Something comes along, takes you by surprise.
Looking straight ahead open your eyes.
Something comes along to change the state of play.
Keep up going on. What will you say?
Run, run away. Run far away.
Someone comes along and likes the look of you.
You could turn your face, what will you do?
Someone comes along and takes your breath away.
You could turn your back, but could you play?
Run, run away. Run far away.
It’s time, time to stay. It’s time, time to play.

Moving On
There’s a new dawn slowly breaking and I’m shaking in my feet.
I can see a life ahead now, out of bed now hit the street.
Feeling nervous see the sunrise have a fun-size bite to eat.
Through the front door I am going and I’m knowing life’s the beat.
I’m moving on, moving out.
Living on without a doubt.
I’m moving on, moving out.
Have to live, have to find out.
There’s a new dawn slowly breaking and I’m waking up my mind.
I can see a life ahead now, out of bed now it’s the time.
For the first time see the sunrise, open my eyes. Feeling fine.
Through the front door I am going, to and froing down the line.
I’m moving on, moving out.
Living on without a doubt.
I’m moving on, moving out.
Have to live, have to find out.
I’m moving on, moving out.
Living on without a doubt.
I’m moving on, moving out.
Have to live, have to find out
For myself.

I Am [Persona II]

I am [Persona II]
I’m basically honest yet a consummate liar
I have emotions too
I am sensitive to the needs of others
I can be callous too
I understand
I am
Misunderstood
I am
I have strength inside I am strong in mind
I can control too
I am safe secure I am lost and found
I can have anger too
I understand
I am
Misunderstood
I am
It’s time to change
my view
I want to live
I do
I’m basically honest you’re a consummate shit
Don’t want to be with you
I’m an escapee from your grubby life
There’s nothing you can do
You’ve done so much to minimise
My role in life to date
You’ve kept me down imprisoned me
But you’re not worth the hate
I understand
I’m sure
Misunderstood
No more
I’ve made the change
for me
I’m going to live
for me.
