You promise so much, but deliver so little
Make out you care, despite the fact that you're so fickle Our eyes can see clearly and our ears can hear Still, everything you say is all so unclear Avoiding the questions with the answers you give The con goes on and on, how can we believe? Are you speaking in tongues? or just dodging the issues Or busy stocking up on extra three ply tissues! Myopia, myopia ... too blind to see the truth Myopia, myopia ... as history will prove Myopia, myopia ... where is the real you? Myopia, myopia... True colours, shining through Bland and benign are the politics you deal On both sides of the house, such a slow turning wheel The passion is lacking, the rhetoric is stale How can you succeed where others always fail? Can I have a pair of your rose tinted glasses? So life looks much better for all us lower classes Why should we suffer this barrage of deceit? You only fool yourself when you can't cope with the heat! Myopia, myopia ... too blind to see the truth Myopia, myopia ... as history will prove Redopia, Blueopia ... the onus is on you? Myopia, myopia.... True colours shining through.... |

Like a jigsaw, our inheritance builds us, moulds us
As individuals, hybrids, mongrels Never quite perfect, but perfect in our own way We are different from our kin, though parts of us are the same There is a part of me that is my ancestry Therefore am I not free, am I unique? I am imago We are imago We are all imago Imago We carry traits of our relatives Through generations of gradual change We carry on the order natural chaos that binds us In to living, breathing human or not so human beings But our legacy, offspring keeps us searching through tinted eyes There is a part of me that is my ancestry Therefore am I not free, am I unique? I am imago We are imago We are all imago Imago I am imago We are imago We are all imago Imago |

I can't help my reflections
Can't escape your inflections Bamboo sticks and bed sheets Bedouin's alive and well Castles rise up from the warm grey sand Before the real buildings rose up high Watching Cinnabar's dancing By the bridge at the end of the dusty road Tickle & Scratch on the old black stool Mince & potato holiday meal Sandy & Pipkin on lunch time tele Memory is alive and well Both of you irreplaceable Never thought you'd be apart From South Shields to Dorset A long and finite journey |

Floating in the dead sea salts, staring at the sky above
Watching all the payloads pass, crushing the peace white dove Turning the pages of a paper, images of hate and war Tweaking at my conscience, what is it all for? Drifting ion the dead sea salts, staring at the endless blue Looking for another opening, trying to get some truth Should I stay above or should I go below Would I find a better place to drown in my sorrow? Karma for one, karma for one Lost in my world Silent in my world Karma for one, karma for one Safe in my world Me and my karma for one Lying in the dead sea salts, staring at the vapour trails The beauty of the beast above, such irony beguiling me Aloof and alone in the sky, I wonder if they wonder why? Pushing the button of fate, another terrorist state Soaking in the dead sea salts, waiting for the World to turn I could wait a million years in this pool of salty tears Maybe I should drift away lighten the weight on my shoulders Could I find a better way to live all my tomorrows? Karma for one, karma for one Lost in my world Silent in my world Karma for one, karma for one Safe in my world Me and my karma for one Shooting up the shanty towns, blowing holes in the roads to freedom A sad matter of a sick deja vu, yes we've seen it all before Bathing in the blood of the victims of yet another war of attrition It never had to be but it is, it is now, it is here, it is real Here in the heart of the Holy Land, surely there's some contradiction Here's to the end Cheers to the end Here's to the end! |

Mistakes, mistakes ... I know you don't make 'em
Problems, problems ... I know you don't create 'em I know that you know you are never, ever wrong Always blaming somebody else Though we're not sure quite sure who But you and I know because you told me so that it's not you! Because you're ... perfection personified, never lost and never lied Perfection personified, a perfect example to everyone of how not to live your own life! So sad, so sad, you're not aware of your own failings Opinions, opinions ... you've got them by the truckload Even when you don't understand what you're saying But still you amble along in your own perfect bubble Leaving behind you a trail of rubble Whose going to catch you when you finally fall? Because you're ... perfection personified, never lost and never lied Perfection personified, a perfect example to everyone of how not to live your own life! Respectable, infallible, inculpable, unfathomable, not liable Thoroughly objectionable, sitting on a pedestal that's in danger of collapsing ... The epitome of smarm, so smug and self satisfied Safe in your cushy job, plenty of money Devoted family man and a wife who calls you 'honey' You're smiling and we're smiling and we're laughing at you You think you have it made but what you don't realise is that the joke is on you Because you're ... perfection personified, never lost and never lied Perfection personified, a perfect example to everyone of how not to live your own life! |

Follow me in to the ocean blue
Follow me if you want the truth I cannot, but I can talk to you I say nothing, but still you understand I hold my hand out to you Don't be afraid, I come in peace It may seem unusual to you Leave all your cynicism behind you Behind you, leave it behind you Swim with me in the ocean deep Be amazed by all the sights you'll see Don't you worry, you'll still be able to breathe It's another World down here, naturally ... I hold my hand out to you Don't be afraid, I come in peace It may seem unusual to you Leave all your cynicism behind you Behind you, leave it behind you I hold my hand out to you Don't be afraid, I come in peace It may seem unusual to you Leave all your cynicism behind you Leave it behind you Behind you Leave it behind you |

Everyone's got an answer
And everyone else knows best But it's always easier said than done It doesn't matter what you do There's also someone else who knows better than you Even if they've been involved at all In the kind of things that you do They can always point you in the right direction Give you tips and a masterclass on how to get on Everyone's got an answer And everyone else knows best But it's always easier said than done There are those who have verbal diarrhoea Some, it seems have just got not no fear Some are just downright dangerous We'd all do well to steer clear It's always easier than you think Or so the others may say But they're not the ones who are taking the risks In the cold light of day Everyone's got an answer And everyone else knows best But it's always easier said than done Everyone's got an answer And everyone else knows best But it's always easier said than done |

Sitting alone silent in thought
Reflecting on how life used to be It seems such a long time ago now Since fate dealt such a devastating blow She was the dream of many a young A beauty standing out from the crowd The World was waiting for her to blossom Now she sits waiting for a miracle Her courage keep her going Gives her the will to live The best she can, the best she can Her inner strength is holding She'll prove she can live a life full of promise and not regret The best she can, the best she can Like a bolt out of the blue How could nature be so cruel I couldn't believe that it happened to you Her pretty smile belies her pain The pain she feels so deep inside But she can hold her head up high For still she has her pride She has faith on her side She's not beaten yet, she'll keep up the fight There's so much left for her to prove As each new dawn breaks, she's got what it takes Though nothing is taken for granted Determined to win, against all the odds Laying to rest the beast within the beauty The World was waiting for her to blossom Now she sits waiting for a miracle Her courage keep her going Gives her the will to live The best she can, the best she can Her inner strength is holding She'll prove she can live a life full of promise and not regret The best she can, the best she can Like a bolt out of the blue How could nature be so cruel I couldn't believe that it happened to you Her pretty smile belies her pain The pain she feels so deep inside But she can hold her head up high For still she has her pride She has faith on her side Like a bolt out of the blue How could nature be so cruel I couldn't believe that it happened to you Her pretty smile belies her pain The pain she feels so deep inside But she can hold her head up high Like a bolt out of the blue How could nature be so cruel I couldn't believe that it happened to you Her pretty smile belies her pain The pain she feels so deep inside |
