On a lonesome highway Looking at a setting sun Nothing turns out the right way Then those days are gone So you goin down to Memphis Goin to New Orleans All of those missed chances (this is) All those crazy schemes Search for a Saracen Princess Travel with loyal knights A strange old future this is Under a sacred light Ringing of - metal weapons The dull grunt of - vengeful men Diluted blood of demons Is running once again Pilgrims of starvation So you goin down to Galveston Shipping out to Spain You always were the chosen one But here we go again And we got weapons And blood runs in the rain And we got sharp brains You said it would never happen But here we go again The perfume of the skunk The scales of the snake The tails of the devil Draggin in your wake Lost in Laredo A horse that lost his mind Lost under a rainbow And lost a lot of time Can’t find no holy ground This is some kind of curse And the planet just spins around And it only gets worse Rattling ironmongery of jails And all time has vanished Children born with tails Nightingales are banished No water running No air that’s clear The heart butchers are coming Let’s get right out of here Let’s get right out of here

You always hurt the one you love And in my case that is me I was blessed by God above With stupidity And time stopped when I left the city Now I just got the Vegas recollections Your husband wants to hit me When I look in your direction And this poetry is a pisser I keep thinkin’ of ways to say I miss yer There’s a high body count around here You can still count on mine my dear I’m a ghost writer I write about the afterlife And it’s nothin’ like they told yer Do you accept my explanation They been giving you mis-information It’s nothing like they said it would be I work for the cannibal As a head waiter She don’t serve no vegetables I think I hate her But Egon Ronay rates her She’s a bitch and she never pays me Some time sooner or later Something makes yer crazy Howling at the moon Trying to sing this crazy tune Howling with Coyotes Or time, money or women Maybe Archbishop Baldwin And the Cross Keys of St Peter Is this a new life callin ? I can’t wait to meet yer I’m a ghost writer I write about the afterlife And it’s nothin’ like they told yer Do you accept my explanation They been giving you mis-information It’s nothing like they said it would be I’m John Dillinger I’m busy killing yer I got knives bombs and machine guns And I’m leaning on This bar and looking at yer I could easily catch yer I could be taking aim So please tell me your name For your tombstone Everybody ends up all alone But I’ll think about you on my way home Be glad you made it to fully grown You finally arrived But nobody gets out alive When I pulled down the pillars of faith I think I only made things worse The stone tablets of evil In the back of my big black hearse This world is mostly a mess But I did like your little black dress Life is short love is compressed The size of your heart and the speed of your breath And all lives are wasted It’s a fact why don’t we face it I’m a god of time I hide in doorways I’m out of line but you can’t ignore me Have you ever cried Have you ever been on the losing side Like maybe the day Elvis died He should’ve tried immortality Like Bob Dylan I’m big and bold like a Portsmouth spider Black as a pint of Guinness She drives me crazy but I like her What a crazy life this is People laughing make me sad They got nothing I never had Babylon is long gone We democaratised everyone We even gave them the bomb They cann’t handle the power It drags them lower and lower Lowest common denominator Don’t give them the detonator A flower stuck in a vase Stuck beneath the stars I always back down I got a cowards mind I’m nine hundred and ninety nine Looking out for the danger sign Health is my prime consideration Bide my time I don’t need damnation I want to be the ruler Of a sizeable urban area Put it down to the power of prayer The revolution is here Now is my hour I know I can handle power Relinquished all my personal effects And it’s time I made a start I want to pay my last respects Before I rip out your black evil heart Dangerous people have dreams And I got a mind for alternative schemes I left love behind Kicked her out of my mind I’m happy to discuss it And I got time - no need to rush it I live for existentialism A Now City citizen An affordable fashion fan Walking like an orang-utan How come I can see the future ? Before it ever gets here It was the same the last time the world ended I knew it was gonna happen I was feeling apocalyptic But then I fell asleep and I missed it I am the master A high ranking Rasta The Omnipotent one Is long gone A new Messiah To set this earth on fire I am John Dillinger And I’m busy killing yer Just trying to free my mind But I’m running out of time………………….. I’m in a lift – that keeps going down On the back road out of town Wreck on the highway A dead bird on the highway I fell from the skyway Broken love – I broke it Where there’s life I choke it I live in the age of foolishness The wrong speech and I spoke it So can you read – the mirror writing ? Are you working on the Code ? In the gloom of the catacombs Destruction down below I’m flying on a broken arrow No-one knows I dive like Swifts and swallows I’m turning back time this time Surfing on a gravity wave I’m following the Rose Line The future is safe I was sailing with some bad motherfuckers We had a hold full of whores We were stuck in the straights of Malacca But we were never bored I did an Open University course I watched a DVD of Inspector Morse I was alone without remorse Like Paul Revere without his horse Warlock Williams why of course I would join your police force

You feelin lucky punk?

Backdown surrender – or gunshot wounds?

Hearts like targets arranged Worlds forever changed Like a permanent ball and chain Scars that always remain A rare and delicate flower A three time loser dead crusader And – I suppose – I really could’ve done better If I’d followed the letter Of the law – but I’ve been here before Like a night with a 20 dollar whore Love is (just a body) of lies So I am accent prone My future is totally known The target of a drone Better for you if you leave me alone As endings go this is it In a ditch and covered in shit I suppose it’s not a complete surprise But no-one wins if no-one tries Beauty beholden in my eyes She told me to wait till the ocean dries Love is just a body of lies The forgotten centuries Sad story histories Locked up memories Are all that’s left of me. But I’m still hanging around On this unconsecrated ground Gravity let me down and I speak without a sound But I will be back yet My will is strong my ways are set I suppose it’s not a complete surprise That I always believed the lies A blind spot in my eyes Love is a dream that never dies Love is (just a body) of lies I suppose it’s not a complete surprise But no-one wins if no-one tries Beauty beholden in my eyes Now I need a new disguise Love is just a body of lies

The price that you pay The price that you pay There is always a price to pay The price that you pay The price that you pay For what you want today Everybody’s got a price You won’t get a better offer tonight Pay up front is my advice You can’t afford to sit still Don’t let chances pass Eat and drink your fill Get up off your ass But somebody got to pay the bill The price that you pay The price that you pay There is always a price to pay The price that you pay The price that you pay For what you want today Capitalism rules: Don’t ever be fooled Cos everybody’s got a price Do you need a score?

There ain’t no exit door You got a good career Don’t happen often around here C’mon baby – we’re in the clear Keep your money near If you can’t pay you disappear Drowning in a sea of tears The price that you pay The price that you pay There is always a price to pay The price that you pay The price that you pay For what you want today You can always get what you want? As long as you can meet the cost Think of all the time you lost Wondering if it would be alright All those dreamlost nights You just got to pay the cost Sometimes you can’t afford not to But you got to pay what you got to But you can only get what you can afford Like if you won the lotto You could buy anything you want to You would never ever be bored

I’ll cross those burning bridges Under cover of the night We were never so selfish We just been hypnotised And fell into the deepest blue of a voodoo spell Wanderin’ ‘round universes not parallel With nature’s magic is all around my Saintly head I was looking for answers to the questions I had read So I went to bed with a cigarette and woke up dead And I’m tellin’ you the afterlife is nothing like they said If I knew now what I never knew then I’d never want to be alone in this world until it ends Tears grow and fall but I don’t complain Because gentle rain can make a garden grow again And in the summer’s heat or while the cold wind blows Love can never be burned or froze When the sun was shinin’ on my garden domain I was the king of all I surveyed An the powers that be can go straight to hell As I stand in the ruins where fortune fell Hey L – can you remember when That was the one and only best time of life Hey L – you were a housewife Happiest days of my life when you were a housewife Brand new baby girls with hair that grew in curls That was the one and only best time of my life Hey L – you were a housewife Hey L – it was a nice life I need me a scientist With one hand on the Lever of Time Get him to pull it or push it adjust it Until the whole world is mine Again and again and once again I’m walkin in the happiest days of history Oh yeh oh yeh oh yeh – it’s immortality It’s better than immortality It’s better than reality

The Holy Roman Empire Are coming for us The burning church and crooked spires Want to be our saviours Their foraging armies Take all our provisions Don’t wait for me Where is The King Of Sweden ? Where is The King Of Sweden ? They come up The Spanish Road You hear them marching so slow They’re followed by the murder crows Death is coming and we all know Nothing on earth can stop them This was our garden of Eden There is so many of them Where is The King Of Sweden ? Where is The King Of Sweden ? Why can’t life be like it was We don’t need a new God We didn’t need salvation We don’t need to be a nation Well the Scottish Mercenaries Won’t show no mercy And nobody ever told me I would die this early The dawn chorus of babies Squealin for their feedin And I ain’t heard laughter lately I ain’t heard laughter lately O Where is The King Of Sweden ? I was born to die in Magdeburg For Martin Luther and Calvin But the sweetest sound I ever heard Was your sweet voice a singin’ It’s a memory I cling to As we all lie bleedin It’s the only God I sing to Where is The King Of Sweden ? Where is The King Of Sweden ? Why can’t life be like it was We don’t need a new God We didn’t need salvation We don’t need to be a nation

A shadow passed across my door I never felt that chill before I knew a hound dog found my trail I heard a siren wail Everything is different from now on That was then and it’s all gone But Time is a bitch and she’s never late My fashion statement is out of date Looking for heaven and all I found Is the sky - and it’s fallen down God was looking at me He said “Heaven is history” Change is gonna come One day for everyone and change can be unkind Change will change your mind but change is not decline Change will take you higher You’re gonna Change It’s not the message that you been sold And it’s not the rags of growing old In the stare of the devil’s eyes They tell you all the religious lies God said to Abraham – kill me a son Abe was a believer and he got the job done Change is gonna come Better for everyone and change is not a fight Change can be delight and change is gonna hurt but Change aint gonna wait for you You’re gonna change The Garden of Eden is desert plain Your motor car is a ball and chain The rivers are an open drain Don’t believe anythin’ they’re sayin Politicians are all the same This world ain’t got a hope I ain’t never gonna vote As the clock is tickin’ down Make the best of what comes around Not the universe turning around Not an arrow pointing to the ground I knew my time was comin up Gonna be drinkin from a different cup

This night time sky is blue What is a shepherd to do? A red light might make it alright Or even a green light too Nothing I said is not true Or alternatively Taking out all negativity Everything I ever said is true When I said something about love And something about you On St Valentine’s Day When we floated away In the space of our embrac Where we stayed Since 1978 On St Valentine’s Day But the truth can be a painful read Every heart can bleed St Valentine’s day indeed Put it in the Millenium Dome Cos our connection’s not French The atmosphere is way too tense But I got you some flowers from a Motorway fence On my way home And I hope your heart’s not turned to stone I should never leave you alone On St Valentine’s Day When we floated away In the mist of a first kiss Where we stayed Since 1978 On St Valentine’s Day Did yer pick yer feet in Poughkeepsie? Have you ever been happy? You put a backbeat in this heart of mine Who needs St Valentine?

Fate controls my tongue Everything I say is wrong But I’ll be gone before long So better finish off this song It’s just another one to sing But nobody is listening There’s a truck Coming right through On a Highway to hell Here to pick up you It’s just another lost soul Grown too sad and grown too old Comin through Comin through Coming through Comin for you I see vultures In the sky The birds of hell Signs can’t lie Now the sun Sinks from my eyes It’s Californian And so am I In orbit all around you Gravity is our glue It won’t let me go I don’t want to go It won’t let me go I don’t want to go Jet ski me Right on out of here Invisibly When the coast is clear We can take a sea cruise We’re old so we got nuthin to lose Nothing to lose Nothing to lose Nothing to lose

Sit in a train - on a dull afternoon As an old dream - appears from the gloom I see you here - now - by my side to the last In a mind - resigned - to facing the past So I talk - to the man - with the surf magazines “Not so good - right here ? - but in Hawaii There’s sun - and warmth - and a sea so clear So what the hell are we still doing here ?” And I - still - wonder just why It takes 50 years just to blink your eye There has been too much time watching TV crime Looking for something Waiting for something Searching for something Where there’s nothing to find I see a flat town - we pass right by The name - is a blur - and I just wonder why I want to be - there - with something to share If I could have friends - I’d have friends everywhere To beat on the door - and drag you out every night Always argue –but never ever fight How time is late and light is curved But they never ever tell you - “you get what you deserve” And there’s a tip - littered with old photographs And a wind that echoes - the times when I laughed And stars - that glitter - as they burn out alone These derelict buildings are the memories I own Where the ghosts walk - bewildered of change As the past - cannot be - re-arranged Turn my eyes away from the guiding lines Leave the past and future for another time And I - still - wonder just why It takes 50 years just to blink your eye There has been too much time watching TV crime Looking for something Waiting for something Searching for something Where there’s nothing to find

Well I was dreaming in French Drinking red wine in the Ardennes Never thought I’d ever see you again But then – I caught your reflection In the window of the delicatessen And I was dreaming in German I was a fireman with Berndt Herman We were considering world domination But after a due deliberation We figured – we were better off waiting And God’s got a job tonight Adjusting the speed of light He’s turning back time because There’s a memory There’s a memory There’s a memory…that never was And I was dreaming in American With Jack Kerouac and Bob Dylan With Sal and Dean under the Denver Sun And Louis The King on Highway 61 We were speeding so fast we had almost gone I need a drug to make me wiser I gotta give up horse tranquilliser But I don’t want to wake up today It takes my dreamtime away And God’s got a job today Messing with some DNA He’s altering my mind because There’s a memory There’s a memory There’s a memory…that never was And I was dreamin’ in England With Billy Bragg and Philip Larkin They were always fightin’ Neither one wanted a new England But they could not stop everythin’ changin’ But all that’s left of us is love All that’s left of us is love All that’s left of us is love And God’s got a job today He’s messing with a virgin they say He’s changing time because He wants us To be more religious And he wants us…to get pissed at Christmas

I was thinking about you At the turnstile I was thinking about you Deep in stoppage time I was thinking about you When there was a penalty And I was thinking about you When I swore at the referee I was thinking about you Later that night I was thinking about you When I turned out the lights And I was dreaming about you When a star fell from the sky I think I waved goodbye As I watched an angel fly I got a new life In Connecticut I got a house and car and a job I never been so happy but What am I supposed to do? I can’t stop thinking about you I just can’t stop thinking bout you I was thinking about you When I was in an aeroplane And I was thinking about you When I was back on the earth again I was thinking about you Maybe you moved to Spain Maybe I passed your house When I was on a train Thinking while I was drinking But now the bar is closed It’s a cold September and I can’t remember Where my car is so What am I supposed to do ? I can’t stop thinking about you I just can’t stop thinking bout you I was thinking about you When I was playing bass I was thinking about Your beautiful face Times I’m not thinking about you Such a waste Why’d you have to leave Without a trace Maybe you’re down in France Staying in a gite Maybe you’re on the beach Walking in bare feet Maybe that’s where you are Maybe you are in a car? Maybe you got a quiet house In the hills of Vermont A garden full of flowers And all the things you want Maybe you’re in New York In Central Park for a walk Maybe you’re in Salt Lake City With 6 husbands and a dog Or maybe in Cincinatti In a house made out of logs Maybe you’re in LA? or on the Champs Elysees Maybe you’re eating crème broulet? Maybe you’ll come back one day? I was thinking about you Listening to Simply Red I had to listen to Bob Dylan instead I tried to read some Kerouac But it only made me wonder When you’re coming back Thinkin about your beautiful face Thinkin about your mole in a secret place Thinkin about how thing’s could be worse Thinkin about you in my hearse

Put me in a shallow grave Cos I’m comin back Comin back as a zombie Living on pissed beer and crack How is that for a soul to save? I’m a dead beat Jack - Kerouac I’m gonna wander back gardens Under cover of night Breaking into kitchens And leaving on all the lights Standing still to listen To all of your dream-breath sighs In the cold grey pisswater light of dawn I was so mortal – all my life has gone But this world goes on and on and on I am not a greedy ghost Won’t frighten you nightly I got a face like your Sunday roast I try not to be unsightly But I maintain invisibility Just another soul got lost Is this eternity ? In the cold grey pisswater light of dawn I was so mortal – all my life has gone But this world goes on and on and on Well I got a pension I got a bus pass I got evil intentions And I like to trespass In suspended animation How long does eternity last? Treat me like an OAP In the cold grey pisswater light of dawn I was so mortal – all my life has gone But this world goes on and on and on

Well this could be our last shot We got to take what we got Our best chance Take the Devil’s advance Better alive and in debt – than not We’re facing a tide An army to cast aside And all the tricks we tried And all the lies we lied Now is no time to run and hide Deep inside your dreams We came from a singularity But that is ancient history The sun won’t ever let you freeze Well not for 50 million years A new star in the sky Stars are born and die Can’t you feel the pull On the steel inside your skull Don’t you ever change your mind? Deep inside your dreams We came from a singularity But that is ancient history The sun won’t ever let you freeze Well not for 50 million years So time is still the enemy …..so much to see Enemy at the gates Bad news to sit and wait That’s not where we want to be So fly right over to me Float across the seven seas It’s in your chemistry You know it’s where you want to be You can’t deny your destiny

Got the blues Inside of my mind Sad and confused Takes up my time Sometimes They don’t ever let me go I need words that rhyme Don’t you know Why don’t we move on down To Mexico Bustin right on out Was a buzz All I could think about Was no more us Lawmen - Don’t get near I got weapons - And no fear We gonna get - Right out of here Ain’t no cage – can hold my heart I can always dream – in the dark My heart’s on fire – when we’re apart I’m comin baby – start the car She is in my dreams And I’m in hers She likes my schemes She concurs Ain’t no surveillance Tracking us Ain’t no secret agents Smart enough We travel light - in stolen cars We stay high - in lowdown bars Under the sight - of your radar Ain’t no cage – can hold my heart I can always dream – in the dark My heart’s on fire – when we’re apart I’m comin baby – start the car

Well I should’a known better I should’a followed the letter Of the law but I broke it in two Yes I should’a known better But ever since I met her I just turned into a fool I Should’ve known better Like a Texas Ranger would’a But I’m a failure Mr Bad Behaviour Yes I Should’ve known better Hit me with a taser Cut my heart out with a laser I need more than Jesus for a saviour And now I’m just a nutter Stuck in the gutter Staggering home after a few A hard way to discover This life is over The stars are out of view Say goodbye to smiley faces Say hello to shoelaces Things are lookin down Say goodbye to the old ways Say hello to shop doorways (I’m looking at the en You’ll see me sleepin around So say goodbye to girls Say goodbye to dreamworlds There’s no me and you And now the price of drink Just makes me stop and think I’m better off sniffing glue How low can you go?

How low can you go? How low can you go? I don’t know

Lonesome day came crawling out of the night time Lonesome days came falling from the sky I never shed a tear For a life that disappeared And lonesome days that lasted such a long time The weeks that passed outside a window The summer suns and winter snow Where did you go ? I guess I’ll never know In lonesome days that pass so slow All the mistakes I made without you You were so far I couldn’t shout you Three angels that you sent to me From the land beyond eternity And Lonesome days can’t touch me now There is so little I know about you You gave me a heart that beats for two I don’t believe in nothing But I know what is coming I’m gonna follow after you There was a kiss so high in the skyway 2 planes crossed but I knew it was you I see you in the sky I see you when I lie In bed and thinking of the old days A guiding star on my horizon And I know I’m going there one day When just true love and dust Is all that’s left of us Just like you never went away

On Highway 9 again Starts up by Lake Champlain Rolling south straight to hell I got wheels and they rollin well On Highway 9 I’m riding on Highway 9 No time for long goodbyes There’s a past but it’s all behind I just follow the highway line On Highway 9 On Highway 9 There’s a whore on Highway 9 She got a room and she got a sign Legs so long and heels so high She make you wish you never died On Highway 9 This highway heads to the stars How did I ever get this far? But this groove is the only one And it’s the one I’m riding on On Highway 9 On Highway 9 Memory postcards brings it back Airwave music sings it back Highway 9 is a one way track Highway 9 no turning – no turning back There’s an eagle in the sky Looking through his black eye You better hide better pray He’s not looking for you today On Highway 9 On Highway 9

She taught me how to party With whores and dwarves in Bruges One kiss was all it took to start me I still got something for her that’s huge And I think I’m still in love But I can’t be sure Sometimes all that is - confusing stuff But nothing seems like it did before My Daddy never told me Goodbye’s the cruellest sound A woman like that can be deadly Take your heart and nail it to the ground Now the sky is upside down And my life is back to front My head is spinning round But there’s nothing else I want My Daddy never told me Goodbye’s the cruellest sound A woman like that can be deadly Take your heart and nail it to the ground Take your soul and crush it Take your brain and wash it Take your outh and kiss on it Take your heart and piss on it It’s like my worst fear Someone like her can - disappear And this time I think it’s true But I suppose I always knew My Daddy never told me Goodbye’s the cruellest sound A woman like that can be deadly Take your soul and burn it Take your brain and wash it Take your life and crush it Take your heart and nail it to the ground

Pour me into this city I thrive on insanity Life won’t ever be the same If I can’t ever call your name So pour me right down the drain The plague is long gone My fate has been the wrong one Libertine and licentious Why else would God invent us? And all of the prophets just resent us Immortality is the only way to proceed Cut my vein and watch me bleed All the fates have agreed And the King of France with his hand in his pants he just wants to dance Keep your distance By the crown of the Virgin Mary There’s a party of promiscuity And it’s 1791 In the city of the courtesan I just got a new masterplan Unwanted daughters on their violins Playing for their mother’s sins Give me the mood of mystery There’s no money in music that’s happy Try telling that to Vivaldi Immortality is the only way to proceed Cut my vein and watch me bleed But the fates they never agree And the King of France with his hand in his pants he just wants to dance Keep your distance Napoleon Bonaparte He lost his heart To Canelletto views To a love that’s never true He looking for you Immortality is the only way to proceed Cut my vein and watch me bleed But the fates they never agree And the King of France with his hand in his pants he just wants to dance So he’s got a chance he’s got a foolproof plan Keep your distance

Well I never told you It was heaven to behold you Gliding past the houses and the bungalows Did you ever realise That I never blinked my eyes I was electrified from head to toes They say that first love lasts forever Well it’s been a million years and I can still remember The times when you walked by I can’t remember the names of streets Where I fainted at your feet But I would still be nervous if I ever returned To the land of dark clouds Chip shop queues and football crowds And all the lessons that I never learned Has your life been incomplete? Or did you find another love just as sweet? As mine when you walked by Every time I left the house I prayed our paths would cross But when the fates were kind My tongue was tied And all the words were lost So did you hang around? In that same old town? Or did you go to Texas to sing the blues ? You were born to be a star See the world from fast cars Break hearts wherever you are And I was born to lose Now I know that 1st love lasts forever But it makes me sad because I know I’ll never See you walkin by again

There are things that I remember, There are things that I forget Forty years and forty days Are gone and even yet I remember bright and dusty days When sunshine filled the world An English class I never passed and a Pretty red-haired girl There’s lessons that I never learned Mysteries unbroken Friendships that I never earned Words I wish I’d spoken I wish I’d written poetry With honest words like pearls In a note that I never wrote for a Pretty red-haired girl There's a golden light And it still shines But only in the past Now long old nights Take all my time As ghostly memories last Of light I stole for a shadow I never meant to cast There’s songs that I played for you Alone in a coffee bar I watched you run so fast And saw you run so far Well the coffee cup is empty But the Wurlitzer still whirls As I got only memories of a Pretty red-haired girl. Your tears fell like rain - and I'm sorry It's a stain - on my memory But then that's just people for you They say they want you Or even need you But they will fuck you Before they love you And then they leave you Before they know you So don't cry for What they've done Just wait for - the right one No matter how long

There's a world of ghosts from the other times and they gaze with a smile upon the passing of time and the season signs Disappearing one by one by one Those days have been and gone And there's living ghosts - who can't leave their dreams For the years before their death Will they return as they can to see or be seen and circle as bedazzled moths Do you feel the rush of their ghostly breath? Only the tick of a clock Only the beating a heart And I like gardens that are overgrown In summer breeze of gentle touch I've sat on my own as it’s rattled and blown Imagination can be as such A light that blinds and shows too much Still searching for gemstones - their worth is a lie Tripping on tiptoes - to reach for the sky So this mark is nothing but the tick of a clock The big and the little hands Linked for a moment and then pulled apart Auld Lang Syne is what you sang And once again - you got it wrong It's only the tick of a clock Only the beat of a heart Only the blink of an eye Only the tick of a clock You sing your song to - The Tick of the Clock You all belong to - That Tick of the Clock You always wait for - That Tick of the Clock Never be late for - That Tick of the clock You can never stop that - Tick of the Clock You can never turn back - That Tick of the Clock

I walk through city arches Who built this corner of the universe Tunnels of light and darkness The marks we make upon this earth And then the steel glass buildings Litter the banks of a river I’m anxious what the light brings With it’s message to deliver I’m suspicious of the shadows Of light years passing by I found out where the time goes but I never found out why I watch the women waiting In black high heeled shoes The traffic is impatient They all got the Highway Blues The day is falling Just like all the rest All the wasted moments I so really meant to invest Looking at clouds assembled To mark pathways to the stars Like where I saw an angel from the back seat of car I walked into a gallery To see the yellow chair Thick paint just where you left it Almost like you were still there If I could paint then I would paint The views of heaven and earth The women that would tempt a saint And leave him in the dirt Or maybe an old couple in an orchard With sunlight on their hands Looking back instead of forward at all of their plans

I kissed a banshee But I never made her wail Sent her away happy And lived to tell the tale A past that needs erasing A memory shroud of doubt I hide behind double glazing That keeps the birdsong out There’s a tiger that hides in the bushes Eyes that burn in the night The birds stay high in the branches And the stars stay just out of sight So now I rise really early Live my days upside down Dawn’s darkness doesn’t deter me Waiting for spring to come round In September when shadows descend Before we go home in October again The memory is mine to defend No more light in the evenings to spend We go home in October again We go home in October again I seek light that leaks around doorways Live in a land with no sound The last ghosts of the highway ignore me And my breath sinks down to the ground Like mist is the sighs of dinosaurs As they buried the bones that we found I know that I been here before Cos this earth keeps spinning around We go home in October again We go home in October again We go home in October again

I got a phone with ghost radar And man they are everywhere There was one in the back of my car When I was going somewhere The darkness of the next world Don’t screen my sight I’m on the 6th sense network And my phone is fully charged tonight Ghost Radar I know where they are There’s 2 in my backyard Switched on my ghost radar Ghost Radar Ghost Radar They don’t need no tickets They don’t need no doors They don’t worry about traffic And they don’t need no cars I heard it on the news today A dead man got up and walked away I’m sitting in a high window bay As life and death – pass me by If I’m lonely at night Switch on my ghost radar A ghostly light Is never very far Magnetic disturbances talkin’ to me…talkin to me. Do you feel like you’re never alone? Do you hear footsteps following you home? Maybe a dream you’ve always known Maybe a mystery message on your mobile phone Ghost Radar Ghost Radar Ghost Radar Ghost Radar

Maybe it’s like you’re alone in a bar In New Orleans Or maybe it’s like when you seen a star That’s fallin’ fallin’ fallin’ Or maybe it’s just a banshee wail That’s callin’ callin’ callin’ Maybe it’s like when the world seems full Of people that don’t know yer Maybe it’s just gravity pull That takes you lower and lower Or maybe it’s just another year That’s over over over Ain’t it like Christmas Ain’t it like Christmas time Ain’t it like Christmas time again It ain’t like Christmas The big C that this is We’re gonna need more than crucifixes So I’ll piss the Christmas beer Like any other time of year But I’ll wish that everyone was here So I want to slow down time But it’s runnin’ runnin’ runnin’ But I can’t see another year that’s comin’ comin’ comin’ And I think of you whenever I hear The carols they are singin’ And I wish - that I could still see And look into his eyes And I wish I could defeat The disease that I despise And I even wish this was a world Where nothing ever dies How’s that for Christmas ? All of my Best Wishes Let’s see what kind of God this is? My memory still replays The Brickmaker’s Arms on Christmas Day But the King of Vigo – is gone away

If you see a crowd Go the other way They could all be going down You wanna live another day They all got their raindrop dreams They all fall at once You can only catch a few The rest forever gone Raindrop dreams – fall away Raindrop dreams – run away Raindrop dreams – never stay Me, I got so much to do There’s a world to save Wasted time was all without you All I got coming is a grave And I’m thinkin Where did I go wrong ? I’m still living But I don’t got long Raindrop dreams – fall away Raindrop dreams – run away Raindrop dreams – never stay Raindrop dreams - return another day Do you dream in the next life? Do you dream of this life? Do you dream that things turn out right? Do your dreams get you through the night? I cross the dream Himalayas On a dream elephant I’m a dream detective looking for yer In every dream incident I soar like a dream albatross There’s a dream world below On every dreamboat I cast my wings across I look for your dream shadow Raindrop dreams – fall away Raindrop dreams – run away Raindrop dreams – never stay All of the raindrop dreams All of the raindrop dreams All of the raindrop dreams All of the raindropdreams Raindrop dreams become rivers of tears Raindrop dreams become rivers of tears Raindrop dreams become rivers of tears If you got a memory If you got a memory If you got a memory Did it ever happen?
