FAST.
One day I'll go and leave my friends
I'll seek you again to the world's ends
Your hair was like shining gold
Have you like me now grown old '
Your lips were like the blood red wine
And once they were mine all mine
Your kisses were warmer than tropic sun
My life's gone cold since you have gone.
I loved you once with passion of fire
I didn't think we could go higher
But you drifted away like a summer storm
Now I'm left cold and alone.
When I find you again we'll stand
I'll hold you fiercely by both hands
I'll hate what the years have done to you
My wasted years are all too true.
FEED ME LOVE
I've seen the camps in Sudan
With starving kids around
I've seen the love of brother man
Lie bleeding on the ground.
I've seen the hate in a friendly face
I can't help but be scared
But it would be a disgrace
If we didn't say a word.
CHORUS
Feed me love
Feed me hope
Feed me seeds of life
Feed me with love you can't sell
Feed me light
Feed me care
Feed me anything
Feed me untill you're well.
I've seen the floods take the kids
I've seen folks on fire
I've seen the harm a brother does
I've seen all men are liars.
But I havn't seen you my friend
As you pass your brothers by
And I haven't seen you cry my friend
When you watch your sister die.
So come with us
You know the way
You've known it from the start
Be brave be strong
It won't take long
If it comes from the heart.

FLOWERS OF THE FOREST
Flowers of the forest
That's you and I
We shine in the sunlight
Then fade and die
Too many hearts broken
Along the way
Too many girls left
At break of day
But my life's a tough one
I hear you say
Never have time left
When I'm goin away
CHORUS
If you could see in me
What would you say
God give me strength
I'm leavin today
Another heart broken
Along the way
Another young flower
Trampled away.
FLYING BLIND
Verse 1
The smell of the hay
The feel of the grass
Days when blue skies
Would never pass
You and me
Walking through fields
I remember
How love feels
Verse 2
The sound of your voice
Glint in your eye
I think of you
And I could cry
Never could make
Up my mind
Always seem
To be flying blind
Verse 3
The feel of your skin
Against my hand
Took me to
Another land
If you could come
Back to me
I'd show you
I've broken free
FOR TOO LONG
For too long now
I searched the world for you
For too long now
I have lived a life alone
For too long now
I've tried to find another
For too long now
I have lived away from home
For too long now
We've lived a life with others
For too long now
I've dreamed you in the night
For too long now
You've stayed away to haunt me
For too long now
I didn't do whats right
For too long now
I've cheated on my lovers
For too long now
I've tried to live a lie
For too long now
I couldn't love no others
For too long now
I couldn't say goodbye

What we'd say and do

From sun up to Salinas
I searched each dive and bar

Could you go so far
Verse 4
At night time in November
I found my angel star
Now you ain't going nowhere

The eyes that look like you are blind
GIRLS SONG.
I know my love lies waiting
Far beyond the sea,
I know that he is waiting,
Waiting there for me.
CHORUS
Oh when he comes
Oh when he comes
He comes for me,
Oh when he comes
He sets my spirit free.
Does
he see the same stars
I gaze on every night,
In my heaven he's the star
Tha burns oh so bright,
God keep him safe and well
Out on the stormy sea
I'd be in hell
If he were lost to me.
Please bring him safe home
To my waiting arms
No more on the phone
I'll drown in his charms,
I'll wake in the morning
To his sweet embrace
And see the sun shining
On his lovely face.
GIRLS SONG.2
CHORUS. You give me joy boy, joy.
You give me joy boy, joy.
I wandered round
This dirty town
Of grey and dirty streets
Couldn't find
No peace of mind
Went home to cold sheets.
Then I found
The best around
Your hands were real slow
You lit a fire
Took me higher
How could I say no.
Your clothes are cute
Don't wear no suit
Throw them on the floor
I wanna feel
If you're real
Go and lock the door.
Stroke my skin
Come right in
I'm all ready for you
Touch me here
I got no fear
Do what you can do.
Don't go away
I want ya to stay
See my love is true
Leave those pants
They ain't got no ants
Your skin fits you fine.
Put out the light
I don't wanna fight
I'll press my body to you,
I got a need
Its bad indeed
And only you will do.
NO TITLE.
Give me more
Of that stuff
Can't seem
To get enough
You know
What I need
You follow
I'll lead.
CHORUS
You know what I want and you've got it now,
Give me all that you can I need you now.
And then all
That I'll do
Is give it
All to you.
Bright lights
Deep beat
Don't ever
Need to eat
Dance now
Go faster
Don't need
To even ask'er
Slip and slide
Round the floor
Don't want
To see the dawn
Come with me
Know a place
Where it never
Is too late.
GOING HOME

Verse 4

I feel you in my bones
I think of you and things you do
Then I'm goin' home
HAPPY SONG ALMOST A CHANT.
Happy cheeky little boys,
They all need their little toys,
Cheeky sassy little girls,
Want the boys to see their curls.
CHORUS.
And we all play the game.
We do it all the same
We're happy when we play,
We play our lives away.
Naughty sneaky little boys,
Must have their little joys,
Dirty flirty little girls,
Must have their gold and pearls.
Happy cheerful little men,
Work to death and what then '
Sad little old women,
Lie alone, what a living!

That you've left me without love

High high and dry
Broke and don't know why
I never catch your eye
You leave me
High high and dry.
Big city
Dark night
Gotta run
Gotta fight
Get no rest
See no sky
Cos I'm left
High and dry
Got no work
Got no hope
Got no money
Got no dope
Need a chance
Want to fly
But I'm left
High and dry.

To pull me through
Dark days
You'll be amazed
See me
When I'm high
When I'm not
High and dry.

Another time
Another place

You see white
Gotta find you
In the night.
I am flesh
I am blood

I say black
You say white
Gotta hold you
In the night.
I am weak
I am strong
When I seek
I can't go wrong
You see black
I see white
Just gonna love you
Through the night.
I am here
You are there
Got no fear
When you're there
We see black
We see white
We'll watch the sunrise
After tonight
