The feet grow weary and we’re so much older now (The days of our youth) The beat goes on and we still stand out in the crowd (Old friends come round) And wine flows dark and rich and good times still go on The state we’re in we fall back on what’s been and gone And all our pages turn and life moves slowly, slowly on Never entertaining change but somehow changes come Chasing down the demons of our youth While all the wheels grind onwards up this hill The eyes are jaded, sights that used to turn us on (people don’t change) You blink an eye and then you realise they’re gone And all our pages turn and life moves slowly, slowly on Never entertaining change but still the changes come

Halo 05:17
Out here, we fight Stars shine, so clear Black storms, yanme’e Deserts, so near Northbound come back South coast sky black Fly home tears flow Rat race last hope Down time, Bad kid Fall down, our kind Time flies, spartan Lost cause, big blind Northbound come back South coast sky black Fly home tears flow Rat race last hope Chiron Gator Charlie foxtrot Northbound come back Rat race all lost I heard the songs and felt them poison me Thought I was strong and never bent my knee War is the life I’ve taken unto me Never escape from all this history This is a game I fight with many friends Some kind of crazy fools and just like me I cry out loud Please come and rescue me Maybe one day I’ll set my spirit free Out here, we fight Stars shine, so clear Slip space, fly home Rat race, last hope…

Remember the gardens of Whiteways? Playing on the lawn with the boys Memories are going to a slow fade Along with my books and my toys Sister and brother came round Shedding some tears at the back door Death seems so removed when you’re so young She feels so relieved, now that you’re gone Picking you up on my new bike Bringing you home from your shift Saturdays down at the football Over the turnstile and in…. Somewhere from ten to my manhood Seemed to lose all of that, dad Just seem to slumber so easy Outside the sun grows old That’s how it looked to a young boy That’s how it seems even more

When the clock beside your head kicks you out of bed, What can you do? Shamble down the street, sleeping in your seat, But someone plays guitar inside your head And you start to hear that tune Comes cutting through your gloom The rhythm you pick up along your way And everything you see And all you hear will be The soundtrack to an ordinary day Take a walk in town, the people all around Can hear the beat Hear no violin, it's underneath your skin It's a sound to walk beside you in the street

Roxanne does her nails and hair She takes her time now she’s not working ‘til late that night She knows she looks a sight And Chantelle thinks about her life She still works, but always gets home right on time At least she’ll really try But still her heart’s desire I’m serving my time You’re just another trick – mister Expecting to fly, away But I’ll remember all my girls – sisters Jenni sits behind her desk She takes the calls and makes appointments for the girls They know she really cares She never goes upstairs….. Now every poor man hides his sins But we’re all simply dancing to an ancient hymn Now let the games begin! The men are here on Friday night They sit and smoke and reminisce about their lives But not about their wives That wouldn’t quite be right They’re all on their way Another busy night – Friday They’re out on the town again When it’s closing time (they think) … maybe I’m serving my time You’re just another trick – mister I’m expecting to fly away But I’ll remember all my girls - Sisters

Book Of Life 05:23
Open the book of life Reading out from chapter one Nailed to the wheel of life Take account of what you've done Round and round and round we go Why we bother no-one seems to know Round the wheel, back again No-one knows where this will end Be the book of life Turn the wheel and find your fate Karma Overlord Take your time, but don't be late Stumbling through open doors Many fools think they've been here before Seeking truth, hope devine Half a chance, and half a mind

Blue Car 05:05
BLUE CAR (Richard Memmott) (1) Blue car - Wait for me here Blue car - There’s nothing to fear Blue car - They said you’d leave Blue car - You’re not what you seem I spend my days striving And I spend my nights driving My own beloved blue car Like Christine - But she was red Pristine - But she wanted death Blue car - Don’t steal my heart Blue car - I’ve gone too far I spend my days thinking And I spend my nights drinking These things may all come to pass My dream and your dream at last I will follow Save your sorrow I will wander where you say Roads are opened Fuel is loaded Now we contemplate highways No more waiting We’re escaping My blue car and me are gone Feel my body With her chassis Never be apart for long Blue car -No-one understands Blue car - These hands are your hands Black times a moment away Green hills - Are where I would lay And I spend my days thinking I spend my nights just thinking Every day I’m striving And every night I’m driving My blue car My blue car

So tired, at the end of my day I walk myself to the end of the street Pale monkeys seen to get in my way My problem is entangled feet Along this great big road Beneath the great big light Beyond the lonely parking lot You’ll find Smith Haven Mall You’ll find Smith Haven Mall Voices tick-tock inside my head But I can’t quite tell the words they say A little more and I may go insane Just getting through this worrying day Grey Atlantic Sea Put your faith in me Take it with you to your grave My eyes weren’t meant to see But your secret’s safe with me Take it with me to my grave

Half a life ago You looked to me and smiled So began a love That lasted all our lives You came into my arms And safe inside my heart There we made a haven from the world To keep you warm To brave the stom You're not alone The wind can moan When fears have flown I'll bring you home If your anchor fails, I'm still your harbour walls We'll mend your sails, and shelter from the storm The wind will turn, the sun will come again I'll always be your harbour walls The sea can be so cruel, The water dark and deep Clear horizon seem so far away But hold on to my love Let it make you strong And we will wait together for the wind To fill your sail We live to tell our tale We learn from yesterday We hope for brighter days If your anchor fails, I'm still your harbour walls We'll mend your sails, and shelter from the storm The wind will turn, the sun will come again I'll always be your harbour walls

Chance was on my side And I’d covered all my bets So I bought myself some time Maybe one more year Broken all my rules I was sleeping in my car Brother I’d been such a fool I drank some beers Back in your life And my old ways Getting my own back on them all Just needed time for my escape Sometime soon …… maybe one more year Lost a lot of sleep Now I’m laughing to myself Getting out from underneath And I have no fear The joker always wins He’s the one who makes the deals Now I’m downing my last gin For one more year Back in your life And my old ways Getting my own back on them all Just needed time for my escape Sometime soon …… maybe one more year Maybe one more, maybe one more Maybe one more One more year

It’s raining on the park tonight Saw your sister and she let me know I hoped and prayed for you Something I never, ever do It’s raining in my heart tonight My old friend has left and gone for good He feels that pain no more What will I do? ‘Cause it’s raining somewhere Down in the dark, breaking my heart Raining, somewhere Somebody cries, somebody dies Laughing divinely, we made our plans We’d be the darlings, rock and roll would shout our names We’d be the heroes, and take our piece of fame (It’s raining on the park tonight) It’s raining in the park tonight My old friend has left and gone for good It’s raining in my heart tonight What will I do?
