I Can Be There

I CAN BE THERE
Quarter to three, struggle to sleep, visions of you
Guess I was all you wanted and now I'm thinking it through
Could we return?
Could we get lost in so many ways?
They promised us all we wanted
And now I'm wishing again
Will you be there?
Will you be there?
Bottles were emptied, demons were sated looking for thrills
It was the lifeblood making my heart flood up on the hill
I was alive, could've done life those summery ways
Maybe I've always thought of the long road as an escape
I could be there, I could be there
I could be there for you, I could be there
If the wind carries our name
Into the heart and soul of this place
Where I was the wolf under the bed
Still howling
It's alright baby now
I'm just looking for peace, not seeking you out
In the dead of the night are we living it down?
Where do we stand now?
Where do we go when everything ends?
Dealing with fortune
Maybe we're born to do it again
If we are brave maybe we'll take alternative ways
We can be wanted
We can be outlaws
We can escape
If you'll be there
If you'll be there
If the flow carries you past
It's broken the mould but I'm taking the cast
If memories count for anything much
I'm thinking I've just not had enough
I will be there on the rough terrain
I'll be searching for a break
But it's almost like you know that
I'm in the wreck
So will you be there?
Will you be there?
Will you be there?
Out of your range, sitting in wait, I will convey
I can be there
I can be there

MAURICIO & MISSIMO
Mauricio & Missimo
They've got it going on you know
It took a while to make it so
But ain't that how the story always goes?
It goes
Mauricio & Missimo
They found sense of pride to grow
They made their peace
In the shadow of an oak tree
Near the cemetery
Living life like a Taylor Swift song
Mauricio & Missimo
Their story's rolling on it goes through
The roller coaster
Seemed everyone they ever knew
Was making plans to start anew
And so away they go
Mauricio & Missimo
They found a space to call their own
A little place in the shelter of a tenement
Where nobody went
They made it a home from home
Then winter passed, at last came spring
Two hearts were beginning to sing
In the middle of a corn field
While the bells pealed
They rang out like a Taylor Swift song
She wrote
That's how it goes
Now it's guaranteed
The happiness is free
And it's so true to say
Mauricio & Missimo
They made their happy family grow
In the image of their own lives
Through their own eyes
It panned out like a Taylor Swift song
Their lives panned out like a Taylor Swift song
Like a Taylor Swift song
A Taylor Swift song
They've got it going on you know

You're Alright

YOU'RE ALRIGHT
Keep yourself safe then walk my way
I will be there
You know I remained
If you can find
A light through the wild
Some place in my head
Where fortune smiles
At the edge of the land
We'll decree to pass the time
Take to the sand
Jump the waves, feel the brine
We're alright
I've got you by my side
You're alright
The apple of my eye
You move in a sweet way
Catching the sun's rays
We're heading for calm days
Down the line
You're welcome in my place
Each and every time
'Cos we're alright
I've got you by my side
You're alright
The apple of my eye
As old as I feel
This youth will never die
You and me find
A way to rewind
Under the trees
We'll agree don't look behind
The land of the free
Easy breeze to cool the mind
We're alright
I've got you by my side
You're alright
The apple of my eye
It's alright
There's magic in this life
And you're alright
The apple of my eye
You're alright

Trick Of The Light

TRICK OF THE LIGHT
Short cut through dark fields
In small hours
A sound can be heard
Overhead there's a light
In the west glowing bright
It's opening now
What the hell can it be?
Huh?
Is it some calling
In places where temples abound?
Visit from the night sky?
Or a trick of the light?
What's that light
In the sky?
What's that sight
In the sky?
Maybe it's alright
Invaders or saviours?
We ask you to make up your minds
All those cliches we must say
You gave us a sign
Just believe what you've seen
Know we came here in peace
We were just fooling around here
It's some kind of fun
We were passing thought you might
Be up for a laugh
It's alright
We don't fight
It's alright
We don't bite
Earthling, it's alright

SOL
There's sol knowing
They'll know where they have been
When they get home
They'll go on all night
Kings with thorns for crowns
Will stumble forwards
Stones will stand their ground
Through winter storms and
Moons will wax and wane
As seasons cycle
Life will start again
Like once before
(They'll know where they have been when they get home)
There's sol knowing
Faster round and round they go
Can't slow down
Dancing 'round in a circle
They'll go on all night
One for the vicar and two for the fiddlers
Three for the maids in a circle standing
Sun rise, the willow beside
The groom and the bride still holding hands
(Falling through open skies so pure and bright)
There's sol knowing
Faster round and round they go
Can't slow down
Dancing 'round in a circle
(They'll know where they have been when they get home)
Faster round and round they go
Can't slow down
Dancing 'round in a circle
They'll go on all night
(Falling through open skies so pure and bright)
Faster round and round they go
Can't slow down
Dancing 'round in a circle
They'll go on all night
Sol
One for the stars and two for the lark
There's three pretty hippies on a riverbank dancing
Broad smiles, elegant styles
All for the love of a circle standing

Yesterday Is Days Away

YESTERDAY IS DAYS AWAY
I was thinking her and me
Could maybe make it to the other side
I was seeking something better
Than a boring kind of life
But it's said and done
And fun became "I'm fine!"
As cinematic as a city
On the silly side of life
She said:
"Don't you be so stupid
Don't you be so cruel
Don't you be so heartless, careless
Thinking that we're cool"
I was hoping her and me
Were gonna take it to another place
Somewhere better than
The marriage made in heaven like before
But it's fair to say
We've lost our way this time
I mean it most sincerely, hope she hears me
It's a simple fact of life
No don't cry!
She said:
"Don't you be so stupid
Don't you be so cruel
Don't you be so cautious
Don't you give me hey babe, OK?
Everybody's cool"
Find another castle
If the last one sank into the tide
'Cos yesterday is days away
Say
Maybe I was stupid
She took me for a fool
Got me feeling guilty
Got me thinking I'm just surplus
Anything but cool

CAN'T REWIND
It's time we pushed this boat out somehow
We've been here before too many times
Had enough of dark days, hard ways
Paying for mistakes that were never mine
Careful as you go babe, hey
If only you'd find some other way
It's never been a secret
It's never been in that much doubt
Keep tripping over minor things
Looking for a kind way out
If there's a place where you can go
I'll never try to find it
Got a space where no-one knows
I'm doing fine inside it
This time just know that we can't rewind
It's not you it's me
Just know that we can't rewind
It's not you it's me
You got one too many keep sakes, mis-takes
Save them for your long-lost Mister Right
Break out your black book, your cute look
Get somebody useful on the line
You kept too many secrets
You never showed me that much trust
Kept tripping over minor things
Hoping that it's real love
There's a place where you can go
I'll never try to find it
Got to face this great unknown
There's something going for it
This time we know that we can't rewind
It's not you it's me
Know that we can't rewind
It's not you it's me
Forgot so many secrets
Never gave it that much thought
Falling over minor things
I'm telling you it's not my fault
Take my number from your phone
Don't ever try to call it
Got a place where I can run
I've always planned to rule it
This time I know that we can't rewind
It's not me, it's you
I know that we can't rewind
Careful as you go babe
Can't rewind

LATE TO LEAVE
She can't sell what the money can buy
Run a million miles if it rolls the dice
She's only got herself to blame
But it's never too late
She's got gold digging levels of skill
Highlife bliss making money for thrills
And she's gone by day
Running in a beautful way, away
Taken down, overseen, part of the system
Lay it down, like the sound, pick a pound
It's never too late to leave
It's never too late to leave
There's still beacons on the skyline
A safe keep from the low life
It's never too late to leave
It's never too late to leave
She's up, down, coming 'round, starting to think
Get it in popping pills washed down with drink
Time flies, lust dies
Anyone can see it's a lie
Late night, fist fight, nights in a cell
Someone better save her, better tell her
She ain't looking too well, no, no
Walking down the highway in a state
Breakfast in the slow lane
Texas in the freeze frame
Keep moving on
It's never too late
Yeah, there's still beacons on the skyline
A safe keep from the low life
It's never too late to leave
It's never too late to leave
It's never too late
It's never too late
Walking down the highway
It's never too late
It's never too late

SCROLLING ON
Welcome to the wonder
Of a light that shone so bright
The shake of hands brought changing plans
Set the promises alight
She'd been organising
She'd been gathering her strength
The dollars came too easy
Action rolled the tape
It's a full-on scene in a distant dream
Where she can't seem to wake
They show no mercy
There won't be rest until there's peace
She can't turn around
She can't tell them 'no'
There's pain instead
She's gonna pay to cure it now
Ambition lost
In a box in the loft
Now it ain't the same as it was
Back in those days
She remembers the heyday
Here the angel rusts
Here they're all the same
'Cos there's none so brave
To chase that beast away
Scrolling on
She became the misfit
Scapegoat number one
Hunkered down in flat broke towns
With her promises undone
She's gone missing again
She's been acting pretty strange
Scrolling on
Where the fog cloaks the hills
She'll see the last of the dam break
Downtown she's resting maybe
The rest is left for dead
Scrolling on
Scrolling on
Keep scrolling on
Scrolling on

GO ANGEL, GO
Messages are hidden in the book
Where no-one ever looks
Are you there yet?
Dive into the words until what's said
Is swimming in your head
Then you'll know secrets
Focus on the finer points of life
Then find the love inside
It's good to be alive
Go angel
Go angel, go
Second guess the world
As seven seas unfurl
Never lonely
You could find your feathers on the wing
And teach them how to sing
The one and only
Go angel
Go angel, go
Go angel
Go angel, go
For L.K.S. Rest in peace.
