A Northern Soul

A New Decade

A New Decade
The radio plays the sounds we made
And everything seems to feel just right
Coming through your lonely mind
Well I`ve seen things
That scared and bruised and left me blind
So come on, listen along with me
I think you need a little company

And how long will I run for?
Who am I running from?

And it makes sense
The youth coming up and making you dance
Coz I`ve got something inside of me
So come on I could use the company

And how long will I run for?
Who am I running from?

But now I`ve seen my face on a cardboard wall
Nobody comes, nobody calls

And how long will I run for?
Who am I running from?

Teenage tears sting my eyeballs
In a town where I wasn`t born
And I will never suffer
So come on, come on, come on
But now I see my face in a cardboard wall
Nobody comes, nobody calls

If your looking for me
I`m there and it`s true
If your looking for me out there it`s true

This is Music

I stand accused
Just like you for being born
Without a silver spoon
Stood at the top of a hill
Over my town I was found

I`ve been on the shelf too long
Sitting at home on my bed too long
Got my things and now I`m gone
How`s the world gonna take me?

Finding myself used to be hard
But now, I see the light
If love is a drug
Then I don`t need it

I`ve been on the shelf too long
Sitting at home on my bed too long
Now it`s time to hear my song
How are you gonna take it?

I`ve been on the shelf too long
I`ve been on the shelf too long
I`ve been on the shelf too long

We`ve got a lot of living to do
There`s a door in my mind that`s open wide
Come inside come inside

Jesus never saved me
He`ll never save you too, and you know!
I`ve got a little sticker on the back of my boot
This is music

And now I see the light shining bright in my eyes
If love is the drug then it ain`t for me
Well music is my life
And loved by me
I`m gonna move on the floor
With my sweet young thing
Down down down we go till we reach the bottom
Of our soul with this is music

On Your Own

Tell me what you see
Was it a dream? Was I in it?
Life seemed so obscene until it`s over
Who knows?

All I want is someone who can fill the hole
In the life I know
In between life and death when there`s nothing left
Do you wanna know?

You come in on your own
And you leave on your own
Forget the lovers you`ve know
And your friends on your own

Tell me if it`s true
That I need you, you are changing
I`ve seen this road before down on the floor
It is hurting me

All I want is someone who can fill the hole
In the life I know
In between life and death when there`s nothing left
Do you want to know?

You come in on your own
And you leave on your own
Forget the lovers you`ve know
And your friends on your own

Lies I`ve got to get rid of this whole inside

So It Goes

Life - roll my die, change this life
You said this movie was mine
But now you go and change your mind
This is my life
So it goes
You come in on your own in this life
You know you leave on your own
`Cause I don`t need no calls
When my feelings fall
You showed me things I didn`t want to see
I don`t believe that love is free
Sure fine way to treat a man

So it goes...you come in on your own in this life
And you know you leave on your own

I`m just a boy, and a wifeless fella
Another drink and I won`t miss her

A Northern Soul

This is a tale of a Northern Soul
Looking to find his way back home
He`s coming from that same old road
You know the one your folds don`t know

I want to see if you know me
I was born in a rented room
My mother didn`t get no flowers
Dad didn`t approve of me, do you?

I`m alive with something inside of me
And I don`t think I`m coming back
So come on come in inside of me
Let`s spread it all around

Give me your powder and pills
I want to see if they cure my ills
I`ve no time for love and devotion

No time for old fashioned potion

Take a look into my eyes
I tell you so many lies and then
I`ll let you go into the night
And I don`t think I`m coming down
I`m alive with something inside of me...
And I can`t seem to get it out

I`m gonna die alone in bed
This is a tale of a northern soul
Looking for his way back home
And my friend said, "Come in side of me
And your speakers are telling the truth
Comming through and into your room on a river of sound"

This is a tale of a northern soul
Looking for his way back home

And if he sees it I know I`ll know (repeat)

And there`s fighting on the street below
I know there`s fighting on the street below
But I dont` care coz I`m a Northern Soul
And I`m looking for a way back home

Too busy staying alive (repeat)

Too busy living a lie, too busy living my life
Too busy stayihg alive
??????

Brainstorm Interlude

Drive You Home

Your face so pale
Hasn`t see the light for days
But...on the hill
You had no place to say "The skies are all mine
And I`m proud to be here
But when my lover cries I feel his tears"
I was gonna drive you home
I was going to tell you who I wanted
We came back to the same place
We didn`t speak just danced in our minds

Oh lover I know this ain`t what it should be
But let me take you home
I`ll show you what you should see
I was gonna drive you home
I was gonna tell you who I wanted
I was gonna drive you home...

I`ll never change for anyone
I know it`s there but I just can`t see it
I know it`s there but I can`t see it
A little light with you and me in it
I know it`s there but I can`t see it

I was thinking about the times I could have had
And whether they turn out good if they turn out bad
I was going to take you home
Show you things your lover wouldn`t know

My angel, my lover, my angel
My mind lover, my mind lover
She`s my mind lover

History

I wander lonely streets
Behind where the old Thames does flow
And in every face I meet
Reminds me of what I have run from

*In every man, in every hand
In every kiss, you understand
That livng is for other men*
I hope you two will understand

I`ve got to tell you my tale
Of how I loved and how I failed
I hope you understand

I`ve got to tell you my tale
Of how I loved and how I failed
I hope you understand
These feelings should not be in the man

In every child, in every eye
In every sky, above my head
I hope that I know
So come with me in bed
Because it`s you and me, we`re history
There ain`t nothing left to say
When I will get you alone

Maybe we could find a room
Where we could see what we should do
Maybe you konw it`s true
Living with me is like keeping a fool

In every man, in every hand
In every kiss, you understand
That living is for other men
I hope you know that I am me so come on
I`m thinking about history
And I`m living for history
And I think you know about me
Cause I am

And one and one is two
But three is company
When you`re thinking about the things you do
And you`re thinking about the things you do
I want to tell you my tale
How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail
I hope ypu understand there`s more in a smile
Than in a hand
In every sky, in every kiss
There`s something that I migght have missed

Why am I going to
A place that now belongs to you
But you were weak and so was I
Let`s pick it up, let`s even try
To live today, so why not smile
Don`t dream away your life coz it is mine
Is that a crime (repeat) this life is mine
The bed ain`t made but it`s filled full of hope
I`ve got a skin full of dope
I`ve got a skin full of dope

No Knock On My Door

She knew my feelings were tangled and frayed,
She took me into a windblown alleyway,
She showed me what a boy should see,
I`ll thank her till the day that I die.

So..here we go...
No knock on my door.
Baby , Till you see what living has done to me.
And I`m sure that life means more than this.

I took her to a room and I showed her myself,
She made feel proud and respectful,
There`s nothing that this girl won`t do for me,
For that I`ve gotta thank her , I mean it.

So..here we go...
A face in the crowd,
Jump up then jump down,
Baby.
Can you see through me?

Sure,I`ve been here before,
No knock on my door,
No love , in the car. *
Baby...
Please be my style.
Sure,I`ve seen it before,
No knock on my door,
Love in the car can be painful I know.*
Cry , I`ve cried every night.
I need to hold you Child,
Oh , But can you see me?
Knocking down your door.
Sure , There`s times I have crawled,
And there is times I have dreamed,
Oh , but it seems that , must you need my love?
And I never seem to put it out , my love.
And I`m shaking,
I`m shaking, and I`m shaking.

Life`s an Ocean

Life`s An Ocean
Too mych comimotion, too much emotion
Dragging me down
Living for today, don`t have time to pray
Ready for the game
Take a line of fickle flame

Imagine the future
We up with a scream
I was buying some feelings
From a vending machine
Say that I will see
Something more than I have
There`s something inside of me
Crying out for something else
And if someone hears my scream
Put it in a letter to me
Slippery slidey road down

Life`s an ocean too much commotion

Not enough emotion to satisfy me
Slippery slidey road down
It`s slippery slidey road down

Hold my hand and we`ll walk down
Dry those eyes and we`ll walk down
Slippery slidey road down

Life`s an ocean, life`s an ocean
Too much commotion, too much emotion

Stormy Clouds

I wanted to tell you my story
How my life seemed to change in a matter of days
The heavens break I am walking tall
How come change always seems to bring the rain

Stormy clouds, new horizons
Come and get it, if you want to
So hop on the train coz it kills the pain
Blues player going to another town
Believe me this boy here is sinking
Just drinking

These streets, these times
They tie me down through with you
But I feel no pain
Stormy clouds, new horizons
