Two Black Cats

Two black cats crossed my path today but I made it here
One turned around and took a short last look before it disappeared
I can’t be chasing you my friend, to find out what you know
I’ve got to find my own way, I think I’ll let you go
Turn around, that was meant for me
Turn around, uneasy
Turn around, that was meant for me
I’ve never been to New Orleans but I think I’ve got to go
And find out what those two black cats think I ought to know
What can it be, is it bad, now it’s got me wondering
It’s coming over me, sort it out
No hellhound on my trail today, I think I’ll step outside
The rain’s been falling down all day. I should have stayed inside
I can’t push my luck back uphill. It’s on a downward slide
Leave it alone for now. I’ll close me eyes

Spirit

Crisis in the morning, where did everyone go?
I’m going backwards but I hope it doesn’t show
In the point of the instant it just doesn’t seem real
And my existence was no big deal
I’ve got to make it ‘til Friday
I’ve got to make it all come real
Sad in the afternoon, I hear you’ve gone away
Then all of a sudden the place looked so grey
I searched for the spirit that keeps pushing me on
I knew it was there so I made it a song
I’ve got to find a way out of here
And protect what makes me strong
There’s a ghost beside me calling out several names
Handing round some photos, dealing out some blame
I raised my hand up
I’m feeling brave today
I’ll help you this once, then I’m going away
You’ve got to settle all those claims
Then you’ve got to move along
You’ve got spirit…

Come Home

We’ve come a long way from where we stood before
A warm spot in the sun, we’ve found
And a cool spot in the shade and what’s more
I’m not afraid to say I needed help
I’ve had enough and you can tell
I don’t like that look on your face
It’s too sad and it’s too easy to trace
I know it’s been a long long time
And longer still to go
Come on, it’s late and there’s nothing we can do
I’ve been here a thousand times and still no one remembers me or you
What are you waiting for at 4am
Surely not a long lost friend

Security Guard
04:12
|

Mean machine, cruising slowly by
Tinted windows in the black of night
Security guard, part of the business
Haven’t got no home, haven’t got no life
Making judgement on a passer by

Free Reign

I’m gong give you something you’ve never had before
You better take it right in hand before it’s out the door
It’s a little something, I’ll show you some respect
It’ll give you what you want, you’re gonna get it yet
Free Reign
It’s going to surpass anything you’ve felt before
Like crystal for new age kids, it’s gonna give you new thought
You wont find it in any machine or a superhighway screen
It’s something you’ve already seen and it’s already right there

The Soft Decade

Tell it like it was, don’t make it up this time
You know it wasn’t like that when it got left all behind
Don’t play with propaganda, mixing up the stories
Whisper in my ear, pass it down the line
Think about it first, think who you’ll hurt
You’ve got the chance to do it right, so take it on
Think about it first, think who you’ll hurt
I want to see some dirt, I want to see it fly
To splatter on your walls, until you realize
Your city’s a nervous wreck, living underground
Who still somehow get to work without a sound

Eye Of The Storm

Eye of the storm, finding your way home
Mistakes of consequence your own
Feel that difference
Let go of my confidence
You can come but make no judgement, as I have done this
Eye of the storm, you let yourself on board
You’ve got some feelings that can’t be ignored
Tied to the mast
You’re free at last
Leaning into that chaos
Windswept wooden floor
Ride on with danger
Push it like you’ve never ever done before
Photograph that memory
Put it on display
No one understands at all
Except the ones who have to live with it day after day
Eye of the storm, sunshine breaks your fall
And the water lapping at your side
And the fury you have tied
You’ve regained sight
