  • How will it look

    How will it look

    Tomorrow when we are gone

    Will it look better or worse

    For what we did

    How Will it loo
    If everything is clear
    No mud to complicate it
    What you noted

    How will it look 
    If there story is not told
    The other side
    Will you care

    Perhaps there is something more
    After the store is empty
    When we are hungry
    and in need of comfort

    How will it look
    if could see it backwards 
    Word the words get in the way
    would love fade away

    How will it look 
    if we don't do anything
    Let it die and rot
    bury it beneath the moss covered stones

    How will it look 
    To you and me
    if you don't love me anymore
    because I made stand

    Perhaps there is something more
    After the store is empty
    When we are hungry
    and in need of comfort

  • Choo Choo Choo Choo

    One two three here I came

    Five six seven eight for some more

    Nine ten eleven twelve, there is no floor

     

     

    American politics and law

    Autumn leaves and flowers in the fall

    Something that I can’t touch

    I am lost and in between

     

    I wish I was a bird swooping 

    choo choo choo choo

     

    Oh you don’t understand, do you

    I am all alone, far from here

    I try not to frown

    Still I am going down the pole

     

    Reason things are there

    choo choo choo choo

     

    Hey, let’s stay out late

    It will be just you and whoever

    Aah ‘ll pick you up at nine

    It is black and white, I am in line

     

    I am lover, not a fighter

    choo choo choo choo

     

    One two three here I came

    five six seven eight for some more

    nine ten eleven twelve let’s go

  • Lyrics

    Such great lyrics in none obvious way from Simple Red.

    Stars

    Anyone who ever held you

    Would tell you the way I’m feeling

    Anyone who ever wanted you

    Would try to tell you what I feel inside

    The only thing I ever wanted

    Was the feeling that you ain’t faking

    The only one you ever thought about

    Wait a minute, can’t you see

  • Is

    Is (unrecorded bootleg)

    I have no idea about time sense or rhythm

    I have no idea about why that did happen

    I don’t know what is black or what is right

    I hear stories about this and that

    stories about you every now and than

    I used to be able to tell, but now I am no longer sure

    If I shoulder let you go or let you come back

    I can’t tell what is spinning about the air

    or what is coming down, to play with my world

    Yes I am with you, but for how long

    Cause I could be lying to my self, when I am not watching

    But I am so glad you are here, to wrap my arms around

    and if I can, I will take you all the way

    so you can see what it is all about after the thunder and rain

    If you can hear the man that is deaf

    can love what is not loved

    there is reason down the corridor

    There are cats and dog we are like

    we can’t see what is heard

    but we sure know what has been

    even if you can’t feel it anymore

    and your eyes are getting sore

    with your spirit picking pieces of the floor

    There are those that will rob you for your heart

    There are those that will rob you for your mind

    and there are those that will rob you and make you ask why

    If there is something you secretly want to give

    if there is something you feel then do it now

    before the hand of time moves across your face

  • Steam Packet (Offshore Bank Accounts)

    I hear they are catching on to this in America. The Eu fair trade wonders too if big business really does benefit anyone. A simple song, sung in a low key kind of way. 

    Who is indebted to who

    When they provide vital links

    They don’t like the deal

    They just go bust

    When they employ so many

    who owns who

    in the name freedom

    What can you do

    big business is kind

    big business is tolerant

    When they make lots of money

    for offshore bank accounts

    Western democracy told you that you were free

    while the birds and bees keep you busy

    revelation at the bottom of your glass

    that you were sold what you already owned

  • Painting You

    This  version Recorded for – The Film The Time it takes to light A Cigarette

    Baby’s eating grass over things I don’t anymore

    Even if I am what difference does it make

    Painting You it is Something I have got to have

    Or am I out of it

    Switching to what is undefined

    I only have a short amount of time

    Don’t break the wheel

    the code word is you have got to be real

    Painting You it is Something I have got to have

    Just got to have or am I out of it

    I don’t Know

    I am coming through on the lawn mower

    I think I have no I don’t

    Before I file court proceedings

    Don’t touch the present in the hall

    Painting You it is Something I have got to have

    Or am I out of it
