LYRICS

Boy

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.

Soul of a very sad man

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.

1969

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. 

Girl

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.
