I just stepped outside of a dream,
Nothing ever is as it seems, The wind keeps whistling the same old tune, You lay asleep in the light of the moon, So silently I peered through the trees, My misery was in her beauty, Her hair hung long and her eyes were closed, Every moment she stole my soul, I'm in the forest so rare and devine This is the place where you lose your mind, From all of the feelings that are making you blue, You'll never know how much I - You. And she awoke and walked downstream, Stuck outside of that same old dream, I need to leave but my minds intrigued, Follow close as she does to me, Out of the forest to the church's gate, By her grave she awaits her fate, My only crime was to want too much, I could look but I could not touch. I'm in the forest so rare and devine, This is the place where you lose your mind, From all of the feelings that are making you blue, You'll never know how much I - You |

Don't think you're the first, in the whole universe
To follow your heart or gaze at the stars To stare at the night through the clear daylight Don't think you're the first, in the whole universe To feel sorrow or shame as you walk in the rain Do I love you? Yes I love you, what I wouldnt tell you Don't think you're the first, in the whole universe To be caught in the act, numbered and racked Put in your place, made to feel like a fake Don't think you're the first, in the whole universe To be untouched by the tide, think your one of a kind Do I love you? Yes I love you, what I wouldnt tell you Don't think you're the first, Don't think you're the first, in the whole universe To dance with the light, from the meat to the might As the birds in the trees sing their sweet melodies Don't think you're the first, in the whole universe To hear a thousand violens as the trial begins Do I love you? Yes I love you, what I wouldnt tell you Don't think you're the last, to be tied to the mast While you watch from afar as your world falls apart You hang on for help as the rest help themselves Don't think you're the last, to be tied to the past While your future's controlled by the presence untold Do I love you? Yes I love you, what I wouldnt tell you Don't think you're the first |

Talkin' gypsy market blues
I was too late but I never got to choose Talkin' gypsy market blues I was too late but I never got to choose Gotta have them gypsy boots Follow them by familiar root Rambled round from town to town Sleepin' in a doorway still as a mouse Saw the bullfighter's last stand I've been drinkin' dust I've been kickin' cans All my family, they went home Let me in Portugal, all alone Thought I saw that caravan But it was just a car park man Said to me as I stood in line There's nothing in the world as sad as time Well if nothing comes to nothing Then what's the point? I sat right down and I built my joint Flat caps they just pass me by The dust pneumonia left me dry Talkin' gypsy market blues I was too late but I never got to choose Talking gypsy market blues I was too late but I never got to choose Three days later when I awoke, My dust filled lungs could hardly cope Realised I was not alone I was in the old car park man's home Looked out the window at the local scenes On the ledge were some grilled sardines Then through the door in came the maid Said maria was her name Long dark hair and copper skin Washed away my seven sins Said senor what's this bad news Told her of my gypsy blues Maria laughed and said you're cute You don't need no gypsy boots Picked myself up off the floor I don't need them boots no more ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By SKELLY, JAMES <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |

A secret kiss,
Reminded me of what I miss, Some kind of forgotten bliss, On this summers eve, Though the seasons deceive. ??? of my honesty, You still make me believe, Is this the rock, That your daring me to cross, Down the river to the docks, That's where we'll meet, Where the bayline(?) creeps(?) Into her majesty You still make me believe So far away (so far away) So far away (so far away) Can't get away (so far away) So far away But that's alright But that's alright Jewels and pearls, And all the wonders of the world, Mean nothing until I return, In time for tea, Sit on my settee, Lost in my memories, You still make me believe, You make me believe, You make me believe, You make me believe |

Saw myself through another's eyes
What did I see to my surprise Nuts and bolts and rows of shops Black crow nights and chimney tops And one too many sad songs Bible black and captain cat Keeps the world insde his hat With deep dry wells And cockled shells He holds his wife beneath his paws 10, 9, 8 7, 6, 5, 4 and 3, 2 many 1-t her ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By SKELLY, JAMES <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |

His family taught him right from wrong
With local tales and children's songs Sunday school was his shelter With his friends Joe and Walter Now those days seem far away An empty swing where he once played Now Bill's grown so fat and bald He never thought that he'd grow old And every day when he gets the train Looks out the window and thinks in vain If only I could be that boy again His sales job gets him down Same old faces same old sounds Heart attacks, orthopedic backs Documents in labeled racks His wife can't stand the sight of him With his routine glass of gin She makes his lunch of processed ham And waits in for the meter man And every day when he gets the train Looks out the window and thinks in vain If only I could be that boy again If only he could be that boy again Another day another gin His kids don't even notice him Something different about his face His happy smile seems out of place His family gathered around for tea Eyes fixed on their new telly Newsflash came, then it said? Bill McCai was just found dead No more windows, no more trains Hung himself out in the rain Now he'll never be that boy again And we say by-bye Bill McCai |

Rain rain go away,
Leave me here alone again, Where weary eyes and hollis tales, Play heavy on my mind Rain rain don't dismay, Come back on a better day, Where weary eyes and hollis tales, I've left them all behind. Some say I'm a fool, See me on a beggars stool, But all my truths are lied and all My secrets have been told, Rain rain go away, Come back on a better day, When all my lies are gone, And all my burdens have been sold |

Don't put your heart in careless hands
Those careless hands they don't understand Sugar and spice and all things nice You won't think twice about sacrifice You'll put your heart in careless hands Those careless hands they don't understand They lift you up and they'll put you down Have you running around this one horse town Those careless hands Won't understand Those careless hands Don't warm your hands in his cold heart 'cause his cold heart won't play that part Choice was yours to hesitate Threw his line and you took the bait And warmed your hands in his cold heart But his cold heart won't play that part Open your eyes and look around Any chance they get they'll put you down With careless hands ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By SKELLY, JAMES/RYDER-JONES, WILLIAM <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing, BETTER HALF MUSIC CO</i> |

Every day I recognise
What's deceased and what's alive But don't what I just said Until boulders turn to lead Then all the tales will be told Whilst you and I are in the cold But don't think this is the end Cos it's just begun my friend And when it's done And all this is gone Just find a feeling pass it on For every tear cried in shame There'll be someone else to blame And every crime that I commit There'll be a punishement to fit But I'd accept what's coming round If I could only lose this sound That's been ringing in my ears And tormenting me for years When it's done And all of this is gone Just find a feeling pass it on And when it's done And all of this is gone Just find a feeling pass it on Just find a feeling pass it on Just find a feeling pass it on Just find a feeling pass it on |
