  • Come to The Ball

    Won’t come to the ball with me tonight
    Won’t come to the ball with me
    Won’t come to the ball with me tonight
    Won’t come to the ball with me

    I am a great dancer, I am a great dancer
    I can dance out of my shoes
    I am a great dancer, I am a great dancer
    I can dance away your blues

    Won’t come to the ball with me tonight
    Won’t come to the ball with me
    Won’t come to the ball with me tonight
    Won’t come to the ball with me

    I am a great dancer, I am a great dancer
    I can dance out of my socks
    I am a great dancer, I am a great dancer
    I can dance away your jocks

    Won’t come to the ball—I will be wearing a red nose
    I am very romantic, I am very romantic, I swear
    I am very romantic—I’ll take you to the fair

    Won’t come to the ball with me tonight
    Won’t come to the ball with me
    Won’t come to the ball with me tonight
    Won’t come to the ball with me

    I am a great dancer, I can dance all around the room
    I am a great dancer—if you don’t come, I’m bringing my broom

    Won’t come to the ball with me tonight, oh darling
    Won’t come to the ball with me
    Won’t come to the ball with me tonight, oh darling
    Won’t come to the ball with me tonight

  • Winter is Coming

    Performing this, this week, at the Guild.

    Winter is coming
    I am all ready there
    My gloves are on
    I am ready to live
    but the world is dying

    Snow is falling to cover my tracks
    I have been somewhere and now I am back

    Calculated reasoning
    Fall by the wayside
    There are so many things to do
    He said it like it was true
    Winter is coming

    Snow is falling to cover my tracks
    I have been somewhere and now I am back

    Winter is coming
    and I am alone
    That season I must face again
    It does not feel the like the end
    How would I know

    Snow is falling to cover my tracks
    I have been somewhere and now I am back

  • All that you can’t see

    The working title for the next Album ‘All that you can’t see’

  • Today’s recording session….

    Today’s recording session….

  • 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

  • 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

  • Love ooh aah

    (Key G)

    Where was I somewhere back there

    Wait a minute the colour is shining

    Standing in the blackness

    So easy to find

    What it is that she exactly means

    the sun is shining on me

    Love ooh aaah

    Love hmm

    Move over, this mess

    Everything else is going to have wait

    another 5 days

    Before I can make it

    Just what is relevant

    Seems to carry a heavy presence

    tomorrow bills have to be paid

    crucify me for my why

    Love ooh aaah

    Love hmm

    I have felt it

    in my mind I have seen it

    do not wish to possess

    they say it all freedom

    But everything has lost it meaning

    in the age of glass and steel

    and self-reliance on the wheel

    Any Other Way

    From the Greedy pig recording, as relevant than as it is now.

  • Across The Bridge – Unrecorded Bootleg

    Meet me this side,

    of the bridge at midnight

    Meet me in black & white

    we are going to blow this bridge up out of sight

    Unless the give into our demands of delight

    Things are flying

    in the air, but I don’t seem to care

    Just got to make sure that i get some of that

    Gunpowder and dare

    But I hear that  it would be unwise to cross that bridge

    because of the fear

    and I don’t know if you will survive

    All these bit of despair

    that seem to have brought us here

    Standing on the ridge

    I hear the voice reach inside

    The great man say it’s time to switch the lights

    Blow it up out of sight

    But I hear that  it would be unwise to cross that bridge

    because of the fear

    and I don’t know if you will survive

    You must, I can’t it is now or never

    light the dynamite

    Blow up out of sight

    or all that has been, will have been in vain

    nothing to survive

    But I hear that  it would be unwise to blow that bridge

    because of the fear

    and I don’t know if you will survive, I don’t know, I don’t know if you will survive
