lyrics

They’re walking around in a trance all right
In a world of darkness, but not at night
I’m just sitting here, in my car
And watching the world from afar

A girl with a phone clasped to her head
Her child in a pram cries off it’s head
And I think to myself “Are you alright?
“Wher’re ya goin’, wha’cha doing tonight?”

She comes to me in a flash of light
Blinding pure, some kind of second sight
(the dead of night)
Chaos, not as dark as she seems
Distils out order, in all of your dreams

No Hay! No pay! Jam tomorrow, bread today
Living life at speed never been freed
No Hay! No pay! Jam tomorrow, bread today
Driven by our greed, we fight and we bleed

Its an illusion, A total confusion
A dark reflection, a bright projection
Come on now!, Smash the glass
Get up off your ass-sss-pp

It’s sad we don’t know what love is
Just a touch or a kiss, so remiss
Pushed and pulled by our desire
Fuelled and fanned, by snakes for hire

No Hay! No pay! Jam tomorrow, bread today
Watch your need just enough to breed
No Hay! No pay! Jam tomorrow, bread today
Look for the way, are you OK?

I’m out there seeking what I crave
Not doing much just being brave
It’s an act of hu-mil- ity
To show some hu-man-i-ty

What do we need whilst looking for a seed?
A germ to grow, something to know
Making it better, making it whole
Filling up your empty soul

Song writing is kind of like poetry set to sound, a creative, happy pleasure. I would like to give that happiness to you. It is all for your pleasure and joy.

To all those that have provided inspiration for my songs, encouraged, cajoled and funded me into getting some of my songs recorded. I couldn't have done it without you. You know who you are! Thank You so much. ... more
