Numbers thats all we are
in society where mighty people fall
it's hard to ignore that we could be next.
Oh my why oh why
i see clearly now
though i can't see why.
Devastation total eclipse
here today wiped out tomorrow
No warning fears overwhelms.
Try but can't avoid the ultimate swell
carry on like nothings wrong
but all will be abrupt
and nothing you can do
in a world thats all ****ed up.

Tread carefully if your on a easy plain
for time can turn quickly into pain.
Strain causes friction on both sides of the fence
so face it head on that could be a good defence.
Struggle you may to find your feet
but struggle so you may find your feet
the air you breathe may turn sweet
may be you will die from the heat.
Its all out there you may be alarmed
though some of us are truely charmed.
Picking up the workers as they see fit
not all strugglers end up in the pit.
So stop your sobbing as i can hear
if you want it bad enough you might find it here.

Questions on your lips fire burning passionatly in your soul
driving your spirit to score the ultimate goal.
I can see you face to face
not a lot of people know that
its well hidden under my hat.
Big brother is watching your never alone
so take and be pleased the fact you are home
in a world of strangers though brothers in the making
everyone knows your name theirs no mistaking.
Into the world of matrix
where everything is a fix
you will be somewhere close to the whole truth.

Best not to try for your head will surely fry
and youth will die before your eyes.
Tread carefully your in a world of deciept
where the air is toxic and people hardly ever speak
Everyone has tried most have failed
so no one is talking
and the ones who have...........have already sailed.

What does your past tell you
is it clear with skies so blue
is it a portrait of successes
does it fill you with joy looking at it.
All is open nothing is hidden
telling a story of a man driven
By capturing the essence of all life
from youth through to the adult mind
from adolesence and then to teenage years
portaits hold the key to the real you.

All fine sketches and colours to suit
history and present collides and dilutes
All is revealed by your all seeing eyes
the end result an inpending surprise.
Travelled roads to your final destination
where your face appears it becomes a revelation
all for a dynamic presentation
revealed to all without hesitation.

Capturing all thats good in your life
at this most pleasurable time
revealed to the world when you are ready
when your life is moving forward going steady
A portrait hanging within your stately home
a real achievement hanging all alone
makes the mark though thats pleasing to you
theres a future and while theres a future
you will be right there to.

Down in the gutter downtrodden out of luck
people scoff at me never giving a buck
Spitting and swaring abusive and more
kicking me while i sleep on the floor.

Theres no sympathy for people on the street
do you realise what you do
all we need is help to get back on our feet
im looking straight at you.


Most people ignore us or throw in a 2p peice
what the hell will we buy with such a poor offering
yes we get clothes from the homeless shelter
but not every night do we get a bed.
So think of us on those cold windy nights
when you are putting up your xmas lights
We once had homes and shared conversation
we still feel we still need preservation.

You may all be suffering one way or another
so you pass us by ignoring me and my brothers
Giving to one i can tell you that individual wont share
the rest of us may starve and he or she wont care.
Every person for themselves to ultimatley stay alive
no bank accounts no address to go to and hide
Out on the streets again when will you all learn
if you dont give then we will crash and burn.
Why is that your fault if we die
there be no one at our funeral no one will cry.

When i had money i gave to charity
i have not always been like this i suffered a tragedy
I could no longer cope being part of a family
so i left to live on the streets.
I made that choice but i never knew how hard it would be
but now i see its to bad please believe
So you go on your merry way
thinking that you have been a good saint today
passing on money that wouldn't even buy a cup of tea
Think of a bad memory and times it by ten
then you will no what i'm feeling may it become a trend.

Do not ignore me please just say hi
even if your not giving today
I am to hungry to lie
spare a thought for us when your on your way.
I am not on the streets to decieve anybody
haven't got a secret account with lots of money
I see you feed your pets treating them with love and kindness
even when they hospitalise you
Your first to admit it wasn't there fault
whether thats dishonest or the truth.

We can look after ourselves we are human
we all have to work and rely on no one
We don't expect hand outs for nothing at all
get your butt off the streets thats what your feet are for.
Fed up of carrying others while they do nothing to help
ship them all out where the iceberg melts
If you want a life then you must work
i have decieved myslf i am the jerk.

chard

chorus:
This is the place i belong
this is the place my thoughts race along
here where i am all alone
a thinking place close to home.
This place was made for me
its got everything i need
right down to the scenery
exactly where i should be.

Peace and quiet is what i look for
no one interfearing contaminating my thoughts
I come here to get away from it all
i am so greatful to my lord.
Theres got to be a quiet place to stop and think
to recharge and to grow
no other place you may catch forty winks
no other place like this i know.


To write and to dream to love and it seems
i have found my peace.
Sitting with my head above the clouds
in santuary i collect my thoughts
don't know why there are no boundaries
I am not a trained astronaut.

Yesterday i had some what strange ambitions
but today i have a wonderful vision.
Yesterdays in time have been lost forever
the wind blows whatever the weather.
I am recognising what i can achieve
go out and take it when you truely believe.
To much work and excitement makes you careless
theres no understanding of the wilderness.
Possessions become the all and end all
when you have created it its hard to climb over the wall
into a garden of spirituality
where for the first time you can truely see.

chard

There was never a time when i thought i would fall
the feeling i have right now
Since parting from you on that fatefull day
I am shrouded by night clouds.

And its getting under my skin
a feeling i cant win
A feeling that is threatening to me
I now nolonger want to open my eyes to see.

You made me fall in love with you
and you decieved me everyday
you knew that you were dying
and you never had the heart to say.

You made me believe that we would be
together for ever an aternity
And that is where you left me your logic now escapes me.....
I cant remember how to walk with my head held high
crying my heart out why did you have to die.

I hear my family trying to reach me
i have no strengh physically
Have no will to speak or even acknowledge they are there
my lifes in tatters exposed and bare.

I am glad though that i had time with you
time well spent i know you did to
So i sit close every night at your stone
thinking of the good times now i am alone.

Preparing for christmas decorating and more
shopping everyday in superstores
thats what we do in the uk
santa never forgets us on that special day.

Watching tv in my bedroom and thinking to myself
praying that everyone over xmas has good health
and no one will be starving or hurting in anyway
and everyone will have food on their table on xmas day.

If i had the power for it to come true
the world would be a happy place for me and you
and i would stop worrying to know that they are all safe
and thats what would make the world a better place.

May change take place in my lifetime
because every three seconds someone dies
the children of africa need a lifeline
and i am sad hearing their cries.
For they need to be taken seriously
as they're all dying from starvation and disease
living unbearably under tyrani, help is needed please.

Adopt a child it costs less than a loaf of bread
help a child be educated and taught how to get ahead.
The only responsibility is to open your purse
help prevent another death from hunger and thirst.

there should be changed to their.

there should be changed to they're

btw, that's a hard hitting line right there. Made my heart drop through my stomach it did.

peace,

A powerful infusion
a delightful picture.
Gaining ground on past greats
passionate outstanding
anticipating turning of the page
close to appollo landing.

Shock waves ripple
through corridors in the mind
new thoughts and ideas rise
out from a new born line.
Cells being used
not dorment anymore
a great peice of litrature
knocking at my door.

An expression
reveal it to the world,
an explosive conclusion
a must read boys and girls.
Escaping bounderies set in stone
new theories leaping from the page
events that can change one's beliefs
the key to unlock any cage.

Critism forthcoming
although it will be revealed
a pleasent surprise
an honest steal.
Dedicating your life
to a peice of real art
it can only mean one thing
in life blessed from the start.

My love for you is like an open book
rest your head upon my heart
both gazing at the wonders in the sky
holding you ever closer never to part.
I can feel it do you understand
how much you mean to me am i your man
my love for you will never die
hand in hand love intwined.

You touch me in ways oh so pure
a love that tests time i'm sure
to me you are everything i hope you know
this love has gripped my heart and soul.
With you at sunrise and when the sun sets
moments that will last forever never will i forget
it feels so right i am one with you
just before you whisper in my ear and say i do.

Can you feel it are you emotionally touched
you reveal the truth behind all veils
nothing is hidden when you open your eyes
flying on the wind by your loving sails.
Days come and go though we remain the same
moments caught in time i can never forget
you called me over in a crowded room
i freely walked onto your set.

Your off to college now we both are free
will you their still think of me
i should not worry it's a lie to myself
you couldn't possibly love anyone else.
But it's true we both need to mature
we will stay close i am sure
It's truely special the time we had
our love will grow stronger it's not that bad.
Every second i lived was spent with you
you are the light in my darkness shining through
this is a new beginning their will be no end
stay in touch lets not pretend.

My love for you is an open book
rest your head upon my heart
both gazing at the wonders in the sky
holding you ever closer never to part.
I can feel it do you understand
how much you mean to me am i your man
my love for you will never die
hand in hand love intwined
hand in hand love intwined
hand in hand love intwined.

I am all alone alone am i
home being where my heart is
though thats another lie
Raise a glass to the past
smiling at what went before
theres no other to disagree
theres no one else to bore.

Home alone alone am i
another double before i die
these four walls have closed in on me
this is my coffin i am free.

No milk no post comes to my door
no one visits no one comes to call
This is my place this is where i dwell
this is my home my private hell.

Alone alone with myself and i
no one can no longer hurt me or make me cry
alone in silence deserted and lost
i'm the only survivor counting the cost.

Alone alone eccept i'm on my own
no one to call me no telephone
drawn curtains boarded up inside
don't want no unexspected visitors passing by.

Alone alone behind a steel panelled door
so no one can kick in my door anymore
my home is my prison though i am the only one with a key
i am the one who can set me free.

But freedom is an illusion
theres no real freedom to find
its only the blind leading the blind.
This is where everything is real
where no one can see it beg borrow or steal.
Alone alone my descision has been made
my debt to society has been paid.

Alone alone with myself and i
pour another double before i die
alone alone alone i dine
pass me another double if you would be so kind.

Alone with myself to talk to
my multiple personalities it's quite the zoo
alone alone who am i kidding
it's only for the ones who are really listening.
Thoughts of madness creeping through my mind
even within the blind lead the blind.
Theres no escaping it must be a human condition
it's just another misleading edition.
