Bible thumper Your world is going under Alphabet’s a stumper Devil got your number Heard you got up off the couch and called it a stand Now you running out of puff cos it ain’t on demand Better supersize up before the lights go down Feed your need for greed while the world go round Bible thumper Living in a slumber Devil got your number Bible thumper With every arcing of the singular sun You got to ask yourself boy where you gonna run When the seas rise up and drown your ass You gonna realise for once there ain’t no free pass For a Bible thumper Living in a slumber Bible thumper Devil got your number Jesus ain’t coming back just for you He was preaching love and hope why do that sound new? Inherit will the meek so turn the other cheek Didn’t say nothing about lies and the hate that you speak Bible thumper Living in a slumber Devil got your number Bible thumper Salvation baby so far out of reach You flounder around like fish on a beach Praying for Jesus to come and save your skin Ain’t no-one can extricate you from the mess you in Bible thumper Living in a slumber Devil got your number Bible thumper

Stuff 02:33
I know you’re sad and lonesome, can’t find nobody to love Sure got to be low and loathsome When your mind keeps telling you stuff When the folks all around are holding you down And your friends ain’t exactly friends Gimme a shout you can let it hang out No need for taking or making amends When the world is like a tornado and it seems like you can’t even breathe Take a step back babe, nice and slow, you always wear your heart on your sleeve Take pause and don’t be afraid to breathe I know I ain’t exactly what you was saving up for I ain’t exactly your type or your fit I got two left feet and I live in a backstreet And my poetry ain’t fit to print So te ll me dear heart Where do I even start To make myself a better man out of me Why do I always wear my heart on my sleeve When the world is like a tornado and it seems like you can’t even breathe Step it on back babe nice and slow, take pause and don’t be afraid to breathe Or wear your heart on your sleeve

Don’t you try to tell me what I should do and say You had me down on my luck too long and like a dog I did obey But now I can’t go any lower down every place is up from here I torched the house, I headed south, took your car and filled it with beer You got me drunk and stoned Left me hanging on the phone Now I’m stepping over the bones of our graveyard love affair I don’t believe in your fairytales Of the kingdom yet to come A life of sin and sacrifice Sounds like the devil’s work to some Well I don’t have to take no diss no more You may be the epitome Of all those things that you hold dear They don’t mean a damn thing to me You got me drunk and stoned Left me hanging on the phone Now I’m stepping over the bones of our graveyard love affair I try to reflect On why you expect me To be naked and hanging bare You wait outside the churchyard gate Raise your head and I ain’t even there I ain’t someone you can depend on I may be the antipathy Of all those things that you held dear So listen up to me You got me drunk and stoned Left me hanging on the end of the phone Now I’m stepping over the bones of our graveyard love affair Love affair Love affair Love affair

24our Watch 02:55
Get home from work Pull in the drive I never know if I’m gonna find you dead or alive You Drivin’ me crazy living this way Makes my own pain seem like a roll in the hay Tell me what did your Daddy ever do to you you talk sometimes like a four-year-old and it breaks my heart in two Tell me why did your Momma never turn it up a notch Anyone ever half-way close on a 24 hour watch Say all of the meat you eat has passed the use-by date All of your friends say dump me cos I’m so far out of date Baby I’m just trying to keep you from living out a lie Can’t blame a man for not caring less can’t blame a man to try I know I ain’t that perfect babe well it’s writ large across my face Wear it like a tattoo but at least its true but it don’t keep me in my place Now tell me what did your so called friends ever do but make you wrong Stomped on your dreams tore you apart at the seams now the only thing you on Is a 24 hour watch 24 hour watch

Don’t keep asking me what is wrong with this picture, babe How is that supposed to make me feel What is wrong with this picture babe That’s like saying ain’t a single part of it that’s real Now it looks the same to me As it did every other day Now you’re saying I can’t believe my own eyes Don’t keep asking me what is wrong with this picture, babe Cos I’m telling you I got no idea You keep asking me what is wrong with this picture, babe As if the other thousand times I didn’t hear And I guess that’s what’s different now from every other day Only now you can’t believe your own ears But listen up good, babe, listen up hard I’m leaving you today, oh I was gonna write it in a card Listen up good, babe, listen up well Ain’t a thing to do about it, I guess that’s what the picture tell You keep asking me what is wrong with this picture babe Don’t keep asking me What is wrong with this picture babe I will tell you now That’s what’s wrong with this picture babe How am I supposed to make you feel I told you what was wrong with that picture babe You never knew that would be part of the deal It looked the same to me As it did every other day Now I know that none of it was real And that’s what was wrong with the picture babe It was all about the way we made each other feel Now we both can see it was never meant to be And that’s what’s wrong with the picture babe Don’t keep asking me

Bounty 04:04
Bring me my bounty oh Lord Bring to me my gold Thread it through my lover’s hair She got a secret she never told I been working on a dream I had A dream you gave to me I been sweating blood and drinking dirt Fixated on being set free Fixated on being free For I’ve always been a good man Better than I thought I could be I been kind and sweet to the sickly Took them up upon my knee I been a nurse unto the very old I gave my money to the poor Gave hope and bread to the destitute Can’t help feeling I could’ve done more Can’t help feeling I could’ve done more I’ve been a lover more than a fighter But I’ve kicked down the devil’s door Gave safe passage to every maiden Who sought shelter from the carnivore I did the grunt work, I did the mop up You can see your face upon my floor Bring me my bounty oh sweet Lord Bring to me my gold Bring to me my gold Well I’ve held you in the highest stead A man could ever hold I’ve held you to my aching breast To ease the pain of cold I’ve kissed your cheek a thousand times A thousand times whats more I’ve tethered you in naked rhymes It’s time to even up the score It’s time to even up the score Bring me my bounty oh Lord Bring to me my gold Thread it through my lover’s hair She got a secret she never told I been working on a dream I had A dream you gave to me I been sweating blood and drinking dirt Fixated on being set free Fixated on being free Bring me my bounty oh Lord Bring to me my gold Thread it through my lover’s hair She got a secret she never told

Blaze 04:07
There's just something about the way you are, makes me feel like feeling glad I ever made it this far… There's just something about the light in your eye, tells me all the sadness in the world is just by-and-by and if he ever leaves you babe, or you decide to go, I expect I will forsake everything and everyone I know…. Though my life is like a puzzle every piece will be replaced on that long-awaited morning when I hold you to my face…. there's just some things sometimes are better left unsaid, my mouth is full of broken feelings babe, be careful where you tread. Don't make no difference to me don't make no never-mind, everything you always wanted bound to take you from behind…. and if he ever leaves you babe, or you decide to go, I expect I will forsake everything and everyone I know, though my life is like a prison every day will be erased on that long-awaited morning when I hold you to my face… some folks they love in measured doses save it up for rainy days, but good loving will consume you babe in one slow-burning blaze…. good loving will consume you in one slow-burning blaze… I will drink you down like succour babe, honey from a comb, I will fly you higher than a kite and fetch you safely home, and if I die tomorrow or this evening in my sleep, I pray this song will somehow tell you of the love I keep, I pray this song will somehow tell you of the love I keep…. If he ever leaves you babe, or you decide to go, I expect I will forsake everything and everyone I know, though my life is like a prison every day will be erased on that long-awaited morning when I hold you to my face…. on that long-awaited morning when I hold you to my face….

Who Am I 01:53
Once I had a dream I was sailing up stream on a wave of shooting stars When I looked down everyone in my town Thought I looked like the man from Mars Woke up in my bed To be surrounded by my friends Who held hands and sang a lullaby We’ve been through life together Up til now and now forever Will we laugh and love and fly So who am I Just wanna laugh and love and fly Who am I Just wanna laugh and love and fly Who am I Who are we without each other Like a babe without a mother We are leaves in midnight squall Gather yourself together Let your kindness be your tether All for one and one for all Gather yourself together let your kindness be your tether All for one and one for all Who am I Just wanna laugh and love and fly Who are we Just wanna be all we can be Once I had a dream I was sailing upstream On a wave of shooting stars

If I gave to you my beating heart Would you hold it in your hands Would you give to me your dying breath ‘cos it’s what our love demands Would you favour me with one last kiss Whisper gentle in my soul That we’ll be forever joined in bliss Or until the sun goes cold I can’t tell you Exactly how I feel inside But I will love you until the end of time Until the end of time If we should we meet upon that golden shore Not knowing if our dream is real Believe in memories from these days of yore Or else no time nor love can heal Our faces lined with scars will tell The horrors we’ve been moved to live But know the stars that float in heaven’s well With all our sins and faults forgive I can’t tell you Exactly how I feel inside But I will love you until the end of time Til the end of time If I gave to you my beating heart Would you hold it in your hands
