LYRICS

Lost soul down on my knees

praying to anyone somebody please

save me today,show me the way

and frpm the darkness i saw a light

and a voice was calling me

oh from a long way away

​

it said boy

you got nothing i want

it said boy

you aint done nothing i need

it said boy

think yourself lucky you stand

there on the earth

you aint done anything of any worth

to me...stay

​

lost soul sad and confused

i sort salvation and i was refused

alone and affraid

again i prayed

​

and from the darkness i saw a light

and a voice was calling me

oh from a long way away

​

it said boy 

you got nothing i want 

it said boy

you aint done nothing i need 

it said boy

think yourself lucky you stand

there on the earth

you aint done anything of any worth to me...stay

​

the voice a voice in my head

saddness and loneliness fed

the voice was self motivated 

imagined and exagerated

​

it said boy

boy

it said boy

thing yourself lucky you stand 

there on the earth 

you aint done anything of any worth 

to me...stay.

​

Here lies the soul of a very sad man

thats what it said

on the stone that i read 

in the yardo he

​

here lies all thats left of him

he had a life 

and a wife 

and both were so hard

​

his cv showed his attributes 

his sunday clothes

his working suites

hes pc blows his mind with ease

his tv shows his A.B.C's

his radio plays haunting songs

his photos show days

so long gone

his video plays only in slow mo

​

never untied,never once tried

never wanted to much of anything

never had to much of anything

he was a man and so he

sacrificed

​

and here lies your life in your hand

every decision you make 

a small grain of sand

​

and here lies my life at my feet

it slipped through my fingers

when i was so fast asleep

​

my cv showed my atributes

my sunday clothes 

my working suites

my pc blows my mind with ease

my tv grows my A.B.C's

my radio plays haunting songs 

my photos show days

so long gone 

my video plays only in slow mo

​

never untied,never once tried

never wanted to much of anything

never had to much of anything

he was a man and so he

sacrificed.

​

​

Nineteen sixtynine it was

i remember this because i do

there was me and my six string guitar

Crosby Stills Nash and Young and you

​

and i believe the sun was shining

in the sky 

and everyday was fine

and i sat benieth a tree

and wrote a song

my first in sixtynine

​

but i never had a hero 

until Don brought Vincent 

to my room

and i never realised

the pie recalled 

that Buddy died to soon

​

​

I loved the words of Paul 

and the voice of Art

we listened to their songs

in your bedroom in the dark

​

and i new all the words

they echoed in my head

i practiced every chord

time after time 

until my fingers bled

​

its only now i understand

exactly what they ment

its only now i understand

how quickly those years went

its only now i understand 

the kind of love we had 

two boys two guitars 

two heads of dreams 

and none of them were bad

​

if i could go back there

i'd go back there today

make a plan and live my life

that way

i'd be a someone now

with something real to say

no more a satalite

lost in space

i'd be a human puzzle man

with every peice in place

its only now i understand

exactly what we had

two boys two guitars

two heads of dreams

and none of them were bad. 

Sit and tell me now

the story of your life

dont leave out a thing 

details what i like

the more that i can see 

inside your tidy mind 

the more your mean to me 

i can be so blind

theres a cafe round the corner

we can sit

drink and smoke all night 

and in no particular order

tell me everything you like

girl

i'm on your side 

​

and put a smiley face 

in every text you write

to let mre know you care

tell me everythings alright

​

insecurity and me 

are one of the same

cuz i've been hurt before

it has scared my brain

​

theres a cafe on the corner 

we can sit 

drink and smoke all night

and in no particular order 

i'll tell you everything i like 

girl i'm on your side 

girl treet me right 

​

and once you get to know me 

i'm sure that you will tell 

i'm just a man who's lonely

inside a fragile shell 

and it would be so easy 

to tear my soul apart 

but its not hard to please me 

i'm just a child at heart

girl i'm on your side 

girl treat me right.
