Jilted
I feel jilted
When u strut by alone
I feel jilted
When u walk out the door
I feel jilted
When u hang-out alone
I feel jilted
When you’re alone on the floor
Guilty
Is it such a bad deal
Guilty
Tell me, is it for real
Guilty
And am I such a heal
Guilty
With the way that I feel
When she’s walking by me
She flicks her hair and rolls her eyes up to the sky
When she has a lot to say
She doesn’t say much, except that it’s ‘fine’!
[Music]
I feel jilted
When u strut by alone
I feel jilted
When u talk on the phone
I feel jilted
When you’re alone on the floor
I feel jilted
When u don’t come ashore
Guilty
Is it such a bad deal
Guilty
Tell me, is it for real
Guilty
And am I such a heal
Guilty
With the way that I feel
When she’s walking away from me
She tosses her hair and stomps right out of there
When she has a lot to say
She doesn’t say much except that it’s ‘okay’!
[Music]
When she’s had a bad day
You may want to sit and do some drinking
Then your mind begins to stray
And you think the girl outside is winking
It’s easy to be lazy
I wanted to heal, I wanted to hold
I wanted to love to recover my soul
I felt I should give, to know how to live
To fill up my life and to not just exist
To know how to live – and not just exist
To know how to give, to heal any rift
To look at the whole, concentrate on the goal
To do all I can to enlighten my soul
[Music]
I’m not sure I should be here
Not sure if it’s any good
Been fighting against the feeling
And cleaning-out all the rust
It’s easy to be lazy
Find a reason to delay
Waking-up from the slumber
Which had refused to go away
[Music]
I spent many years with nothing to give
With nothing to give for the longest of time
I grew-up one day and started to see
I’m wasn’t the only one who has a bad day
I wanted to grow, I wanted to live
I wanted to give whatever I could
There’s a world out there, worse than I’ve seen
That’s waiting forever to achieve their own dreams
Slow & Easy
Everyone is running, running
And the wheels are turning, turning
It just seems we have to get away
Everybody’s burning, burning
The flames are all unfurling, unfurling
You are wise, but they seem here to stay
Slow & easy we have to go
Like a candle, a river’s flow
Slow & easy is all we have to do
Slow & easy like the breeze
Touching everyone with ease
Slow & easy like a candle’s flame
[Music]
Slow & easy we have to go
Like a candle, a river’s flow
Slow & easy is all we have to do
Slow & easy like the breeze
Touching everyone with ease
Slow & easy like a candle’s flame
Seems we have to stay on for a while
Feel the love and be joyous all the time
Will we still be loving all the while
Will the pain be buried under a smile
Slow & easy we have to go
Like a candle, a river’s flow
Slow & easy is all we have to do
Slow & easy like the breeze
Touching everyone with ease
Slow & easy like a candle’s flame
Everyone is running, running
And the wheels are turning, turning
It just seems we have to get away
Everybody’s burning, burning
The flames are all unfurling, unfurling
You are wise, but they seem here to stay
Give us free
On a dark morning when the clouds were still forming
they slept like human beings
Not knowing in the bushes which normally had thrushes
hid things of hate
They crept into the clearing
which had never been defiled, they had never been reviled
To take away all that was pure
In a hate-campaign that left many insane
In a single moment they were turned into slaves
With not a hope of freeing their chains
In one swift move they lost their world
to the rage & hate of racism
[Give us free]
They were taken on big ships, with tied-up hands & sealed lips
huddled in the dark
Demons sometimes whipping, lashing-out & raping
those dark figures at their will
They took them to a promised land
To put them to the grind, tie-them-up forever
To take all that was left in them
Till their clothes were torn & tattered, their souls were all but battered
In a single moment they were turned into slaves
With not a hope of freeing their chains
In one swift move they lost their world
to the rage & hate of racism
[Give us free]
The sun was high & searing
it burnt into their flesh, as they lay flat on the deck
In the darkness they were made to row
Till their minds were racked with fever, and their bodies could’nt do more
In a single moment they were turned into slaves
With not a hope of freeing their chains
In one swift move they lost their world
to the rage & hate of racism
[Give-us-free]
Suspicious Stares
Walking hand-in-hand with
This is no place to stand with
your lover
You should be more careful
There’s no point-in defying
suspicious stares
You feel to survive
You need both men in your life
You know that’s good for you
If you were to close your eyes
And feel the world on your side
And you could too …
[Music]
Carrying-on dangerously
Did anyone stumble on the secrets
you keep hidden away
Meeting at odd hours
You both dart like prisinors
in a goldfish bowl
You swear it’s possible
to care for more than one
Oh yes, it happens all the time
Have you thought of what you’d do
if the tables turned on you
You know, they really could too …
Walking the streets after checking-around
Buying things you think might not
wither away
Making love when your husband’s at work
Don’t you think it’s risky today –
he might be hiding away
I can you see in your eyes
the need that makes you lie
to keep it alive
Don’t you wish it were acceptable
to lay-your-cards on the table –
not spin fables …
[Music]
What is my calling
What is my calling
Where do I go from here
And I keep falling
What is it that I fear
What is my calling
Why don’t I go to a seer
And I keep stalling
What is it that I hear
[Music]
Understanding all that life has to offer down here
Has drained me of the energy that I need to store for the future
Thinking all the time, reasoning all the time, takes so much out of you
Why doesn’t life offer only that which is dear to you
Thinking all the time
Blinking all the time
Trying all the time to live in your prime
Thinking all the time
Keeping pace with time
Trying not to live your life like a crime
What is my calling
Where do I go from here
And I keep falling
What is it that I fear
What is my calling
Why don’t I go to a seer
And I keep stalling
What is it that I hear
Waking-up to a day of work where things don’t always go your way
Washing-off all of yesterday doesn’t always happen like you say
But waking-up to a day of hope with the sun streaming in with its rays
Coming in thru the open blinds, it always shines in and lights your day
Careful all the time
Leaping over time
Stepping out-of-time …out-of-line
Keeping-up the rhyme
Listening to the chimes
Weary, as you climb the ladder of time
[Music]
What is my calling
Where do I go from here
And I keep falling
What is it that I fear
What is my calling
Why don’t I go to a seer
And I keep stalling
What is it that I hear
There you go again
I saw you walking down your wobbly memory lane
Turning your face up to the rain
You were dipping your mind in your beautiful thoughts
You were drenched in all the colours of your dreams
I saw you walking down your crazy memory lane
Dancing in the pools left behind
You were showing in them in so many ways
You were soaking-in the colours from that time
[Music]
There you go again
Lost in dreams
Floating thru the clouds
Are they what they seemed?
There you go again
Drenched in dreams
Drifting on the breeze
Back in your teens
[Music]
Try to seize the moment now
Life is passing under your feet
Seize the moment before it’s gone
It may not give you another chance
Try to catch the moment now
You might miss the only chance
And don’t feel bad if you miss it 1st
But don’t let go of a 2nd chance
[Music]
I saw you walking down the road you’d been before
Soaking in all your crazy dreams
You were dwelling in places you had dwelt before
Get away from your comfort zone
[Music]
There you go again
Lost in dreams
Floating thru the clouds
Are they what they seemed?
There you go again
Drenched in dreams
Drifting on the breeze
Back in your teens
[Music]
