There has got to be someone in charge of you
nomatter who you are, or what you do
Whether it be, the beast or god
someone in your community, pc plod.

To control you and to sedate you
every hour of your day
you have many you can relate to
that can understand what you say.

Grinded down your will is not your own
it's a curse now, that you depend on
freedom i have never had
it was a lie if i ever said.

Say what you are told to say
never what you really mean
stay quiet and hide the truth
looking like your still keen.

No one will notice you
you won't stick out like a sore thumb
that way you won't rock the boat
in which we all sail on.

In this world it is full of traps
there is no freedom, there are not any gaps
You can pretend, though lying to yourself
desperate to find, searching in depth.

Pulled to the left and then to the right
allowing yourself to be pulled without a fight
One day you may take a grip
but i am afraid you have let it slip
to late for a reprieve, your time is up
it's now time to leave.

Wake up one morning
your life is not your own
are you still lying
your future is unknown.

Dreaming that one day you will rule
it will not happen, life is cruel
End your misery with a bullet in your head
stop sleeping with that stranger in your bed.

In a fragile state of mind
where dreams can turn to dust
watching as the world goe's by
without a second thought.
Surrounded by people with success
haunting my every move
though i am still in motion
my whole being, wants to be understood.

Everyone loves speech
what interesting words to listen
how they pronounce themselve's
intimacy touches the soul.
Raging urges arise
uncommon, still must be seen
to be centre, the desire to believe
the inside peels away
refreshing, fruit of my eye.

Cracked, but still not broken
round, never square
open, never closed
breathing new life into this picture.

Tripped up, now the lights are out
cant see, no one else about
When darkness falls
and wheres those bloody candles
nothing in reach, too hot to handle.

Yeh Yeh Yeh do u know what i mean
bloody hell this place needs a clean.

Sorting it as i speak
keep quiet, i can hear your feet
if not then it's running water
if i could see i would be rolling around in laughter.

No No No, now i am cold and wet
and my whole body is starting to sweat
funny how the body reacts
just another interesting fact.

Ouch that bloody hurt
walked into the table
couldn't get any worse
though now i am feeling unstable.
No light switch it's all burnt out
hope somebody hears me knocking about
come to my aid, before i lose all senses
i must remember to put in my contact lenses.

chard

In for a penny in for a pound
signed up for the latest sound
everyone is going to be there
i'm not missing it, that won't be fair.
No matter how little i see
the experience is enough for me
just being there at the beginning
all thumbs up it's a sign of winning.

Shy away like a blind man stalking
in the shadow of an event, lets keep on walking
keeping it short, i am not here to abort.

Both feet in, the party begins
everyone out, the mind to sin
how quick, the guard falls down
grounded by great sound.

The smart thing to do is go with it
see what it can do for you
music is all heart and soul
helps the human spirit grow.
Something that has no purpose
cannot drive people wild
with excitement and fulfillment
to achieve all peoples desires.

chard

If there was somebody, waiting for me
then that somebody, was missing from me
if by circumstance, if by fate
nomatter what i do, that somebody will have to wait.

I am open minded, as free as a man can be
so if there is something wrong, what will be will be
i just cannot help myself that quickly
as anyone, who knows me, will tell you
this man pretends he is free.

Under and over forward thinking
around every corner, man is blinking
nothing is for certain, nothing is for sure
though man keeps on walking, no one asks what for.

So if you have to stop, for any reason
then perhaps it's time to stop, it's not, your season
foretelling is for, the witch in her caravan
all nonsense, thats what i understand.

Be careful what you say, somebody is listening
you may not see your goals in life finishing
the end of the road may be closer than you think
relax your eye's and let yourself blink.

No matter if your white or black
it does matter if your under attack
from all sides, grinding you down
hounded by the guilt, that all along you were messing around.

Dress in something different
do something you would not normally do
try a new hairstyle, and shaft all them blues.
From time to time, you have to remove your skin
and only then, your new life, will begin.

Look at your neabour see what he is up to
haven't you any ideas, no point of view
he alone is doing something constructive
he knows what makes him tick, he knows how to live.

What do you know about yourself
what if the people around you misunderstand yourself
will you surrender to their own ideas
what is it, you fear.

Who would you have been, if you were not parented
would you be where you are now, or do you doubt it
would you be in anothers pocket
i believe it all to be shixxxxxxxxx.

chard

Because i am nothing like you
you make me feel unwelcome
you never say anything true to my face
can we just get along.

You may think of me as much as you like
but i hope you keep it to yourself
if not friends then close enemy's
that will sit alright with me.

Take a little time
do not make up your mind
on me so quickly
and be slow to criticise me.

It's easy to hurt me, i am not made out of stone,
you may not consider my feelings,
today or tomorrow.

I have friends here to
i wouldn't want them to know
that you hate me that much
that i put you on a all time low.
So help me out here
listen to my concerns
if not for me then our friends
then wait and take your turn.

I feel that you have nothing to say
am i really a saint
that all what is troubling you is
that you haven't a complaint.
how very sad for you
that you live to cause trouble
i am not sorry for being me
though it's a good time to burst your bubble.

chard

Thought that i was achieving something, something good
when i was on top of my game, i was on the right route.
Helping people helping myself
no hurt no pain no suffering dealt.

Watching the seasons pass
time flowed by nicely
work was not to be rushed
but the end to that was likely
With new laws a passing
being hypicritical, now everyone is now at war.

Driving forward, but not at the wheel
someone got there first, it's not a good feel
cannot do anything about it, must sit this one out
praying for the good old days to come back around.

As you might have guessed, another nail in my coffin
success is for the successful, i am not no boffin
Though hard to eccept at first, time makes it easier
to sit back and watch your dying career.

Who passes the laws, who or what are they thinking
do they really believe it will work, they must spend a lot of time jerking
women are all looking obese, they are starting to smell
and all the guys look buggered, oh well.

So whats the outcome then
life will take it's course
many a dear friend, will never get the source
always falling short, before the finishing line
nothing is easy anymore, to hard to define.

chard

Never before have i been so close to heaven
never before have i ever felt like this when i am with you
like a light thats turned me on and forever flowing
and the love in my heart, has not stopped growing.
My love, i am forever commited to you
through my life, you make me feel brand new
i feel like i am still young, and i can never die
for i am fully charged, knowing you are mine.
I have no concerns or any woes
i am eager to live through all today's tomorrows
for all the ground i cover in my day
it's with you always my head lays.

Living with you is easy, it comes naturally
something i consider to be somewhat a mystery
saying that i love you it is never enough
so heres a song for you, recieve it with a tender touch.
Captivated by your presence, in everyway
you are my sunshine my light of day
with you in my life my day is certain to be ok
nomatter where i am, i will never be afraid.
I keep on growing i never stand still
after all these years you still give me a thrill
always satisfying, nothing bad to say
you are my sunshine my light of day.

chard

Now it has been said
it's not something that's bottled anymore
it's now out of my head
so everyone can no longer ignore

Dreams should never be spoken
the ones you dream asleep
for once it is awoken
you should never speak

It's apart of your well-being
it's not for strangers ears
i have said that its just over-seeing
do not admit your fears

For once you have spoken
you will lose your edge
soon your sanity will be gone, all the regret.
Tears will fall, with negative feelings all around
all you will want, is to touch down.

Everyone wants a peice of meat
to do with as they desire
everything is distorted, will you be admired.
Will with what they know, determine your fate
spilling your secrets, you will never reach the gate.

Once you are trapped, whether known or unknown
You are so much more than flesh and bone
though you wont learn it at school
all you will learn is how to get stoned.

What is relevant in your day
is being different, something you crave
so one foot out of joint, why not two
once you fall in, it's bye bye to you.

Everyone is unique we are all individuals
but some are only here to corrupt and
they are called criminals.
Let it not be said, that it's not a good life for some
time catches up with you though, when you are on the run.

Trying to break the chains that bined us down
so we head to the supernatural, where it astounds,
us to a new level of understanding
but fully committing, is pretty demanding.

And when you are so far gone
there seems nothing to come back to
so for the first time, you are out on your own
the years will be hard, without a crew.

So there you are, you have the attention of everyone,
Why did you return, has this lesson been learned.

Raiding the fridge, just one last time
What i am after is,
Xmas special, Xmas cheer
what's Xmas without tears
I for one believe that hardship rules
so i am tucking in, it ain't cruel.
Drink my lager and my beer
join the festivities it's the end of the year.

All them smiling faces
not troubled in the least
all getting ready, for the ultimate feast.
All the presents under the tree
life at the top, well it must be easy
not taking anything, that they should miss
leaving there door open, they took that risk
all for one and one for all
i live by that, if you should call.

Whats mine is yours, all that twaddle
invite me in, into anothers muddle
for what, only to be pushed aside when it comes to an end,
not smiling now are you, call yourself a friend.
So i drink your booze, it's making me merry
are you really a christian, a believer in christ
or are you pretending, that you care, and you are nice
Well then when you get back
you will not be sad at all
instead you will be excited all the more
that you have helped someone poor and frail
that for an hour you helped a lost soul out of that gale.

You who have family and friends and money to squander
take a peak on the lowly side, think or just ponder
that we are all human, though our looks may differ
you in tweed, sending your brother down river.
I have issues, today i am taking it out on you
tomorrow will be different, then again it could still be you
So i am drunk now, slurring my speech
thanks for the drink, though it is all cheese.
