River Carry You
You say that it’s serious
You want to live in a bigger house with a bigger garden
And more room for all your stuff
And a fully tiled en-suite
You say you need to move on from here
You got sick of this street years ago
And all the cars, and all the passing feet
You say the neighbours don’t like you any more
You say they talk about you in the dark
And as you hide beneath the sheets
You wish for an exit from it all
You wish the rain would never fall
Yet you wish the river would carry you to the sea
You say the people get you down
You say their words are mean
And their faces, and all their screaming kids
You say you’re sick of all the dogs
Doing their business on the street
And all the banging dustbin lids
You wish for an exit from it all
You wish that that rain would never fall
Yet you wish the river would carry you, to the sea
Well I’ve got news for you my friend
You’ve gotta get up from your bed
Walk right down the street, and over that bridge
You’ll never get away, so why don't you today
You’ve gotta make it at least as far as that park
Make it safe across that bridge
Don’t let the river carry you to the sea
Don’t let that river carry you to the sea

Spent Some Time
Spent some time in a lonely place
Spent some time missing your face
And I know that you must be somewhere
That I would go, alone with you
Spent some time in a lonely place
Searched for hours without a trace
Tried to find a way to let you know
That I’d come home, to be with you
Yes to be with you
And now it seems so clear
I’ll never find you here
And I don’t know just what I’m gonna do
Without you to hold me near
Spent some time in a lonely place
Just got caught up in the race
And when I turned around, all I found
All I knew, had disappeared
Had disappeared
And now it seems so clear
I’ll never find you here
And I don’t know just what I’m gonna do
Without you to hold me near
To hold me near

Summer Song
In a momentary lapse of reason
You changed the weather, changed the season
You sang out clear, it won’t be long
Until we hear our summer song
Past winter’s ruin we sailed our boats on
Until we reached tall reeds on the seashore
We knew our fear here did not belong
We sang out clear our summer song
And now we swim soft shades of shadow
The victim’s quote we shall not remember
The ships we sail will carry us on
We sing out clear our summer song

Round The Twist
Lift up your eyes, the dawn surprise
You chase the sun through perfect skies
To fall into a dream
Who can tell you what it means?
Who can tell you what it means?
Your life is never what it seems
In darkest woods the thrill’s still there
You run and shout without a care
You call it make believe
No-one is seeing what you see
You lie so perfectly
You lie so perfectly
Hey! Do you notice?
Can you hear this?
Are you going round the twist?
Or is there something you have missed?
Hey! Do you notice?
Can you feel this?
Are you going round the twist?
Or is there something that you miss?
You throw the book, you raise the blade
You look towards your masquerade
And all the mess you made
Towards the sin that you purveyed
Oh if only you’d behaved
The distance of your chemical stare
The way you treat the ones who care
You’re sinking in despair
Oh but it’s not really fair
You’re gonna need some help down there
Hey! Do you notice?
Can you hear this?
Are you going round the twist?
Or is there something you have missed?
Hey! Do you notice?
Can you hear this?
Are you going round the twist?
Give us back the one we miss.

If I Was A Lonely Goatherd
Well I’m not a lonely goatherd, And I’m not the president
I don’t have a million dollars, I’m not counting my last cent
I’m not driving in a Cadillac, Or shoveling cement
I’m not sitting in a mansion, Or in a refugee tent
Yeah I just play the guitar, and my baby pays the rent
Well, Obama’s in the Whitehouse, but Trump is at the door
Kim Jong Un and Vladimir want to start the next World War
Bojo and the Tories, yeah we’ve seen it all before
Yeah and no-one really knows what the Europeans are for
But it’s a fine fine day, to start all over again
There won’t be a better day, to start all over again
And if I believed in Santa, I’d grab a pen and write
Bring peace to all the Syrians, and stop the endless fight
Bring joy to all the children who cry throughout the night
They deserve to live in happiness, they deserve a better life
And it’s a fine fine day, to start all over again
There’ll never be a better day to start all over again
Well if we can’t learn to put all our jealousies aside
To put our faith in Jesus, and go along for the ride
To learn to love each other and for what we have inside
To work out how best to live, before we all must die
We won’t get a better day, to start all over again
No we’ll never see a better day, to start all over again
