Divine

Look at the sky
A shooting star
Is passing by
And I want to fly

A sleeping cat
I’m drinking wine
And hoping that
You’d be mine

My broken hat
The blazing fire
This blood is wine
And you’re my desire

Your words spill out
Like sparkling wine
Your lips are full
Your eyes divine

I wonder if
As you look at me
You’d accept my gift
What could we be?

But you’re from that place
I know your kind
I’ve seen your face
As souls unwind

You’d take my love
And ignore my call
It’s from above
But you’d keep it all

So I turn around
To say goodbye
It’s an empty sound
And a hollow cry

Cos deep inside
When you are gone
I know you lied
But we were one

Now tell me that
You love me now
Tell me why
And tell me how

Tell me that
You’ll follow me
Through all this chaos
And mystery

Let me see
You’ll be my guide
You’ll come to find me
When I hide

Though your eyes
Are black as coal
The blazing light
That is your soul

Illuminates me
On my darkest day
And recreates me
In every way

I wonder if
As you look at me
You’d accept my gift
What could we be?

But you’re from that place
I know your kind
I’ve seen your face
As souls unwind

You’d take my love
And ignore my call
It’s from above
But you’d keep it all

So I turn around
To say goodbye
It’s an empty sound
And a hollow cry

Cos deep inside
When you are gone
I know we lied
But we were one

Gloria

You sit there
On a barbed-wire throne
You’re a slave of love
And you’re never alone

They kiss you
And they miss you
They drink for you
And cry for you

But you sit there
On your barbed-wire throne
Your hounds of love
Never leave you alone

As you climb back
Onto your crazy course
You know them well
They won’t stay the course

But they’ll drink for you
And they’ll cry for you
They’ll kiss you
And they’ll miss you

Then you float above
Your bed of scorn
While they kneel in awe and you
Crown them with thorns

You’re Gloria
You’re Victoria
You’re Senorita
Man eater

You’ll break your glass
And you’ll hit ground
You’ll take the pain
But without a sound

You’ll drink for them
And you’ll cry for them
You’ll kiss them
And you’ll miss them too

They’ll run to you
And they’ll cry for you
And they’ll miss you
And they’ll die for you
…

But you climb back onto
Your barbed-wire throne
You’re a slave of love
Cannot be alone

You Think

[V1]
I know you think I don’t give a damn

You think I’m looking out for some other man

I don’t know where you get these ideas

Only one way to go, it’s gonna end up in tears

[Chorus]
I don’t know where this road is leading to

I don’t know what is right, what is true,

I don’t know if you can love me too

Can you love me too?

[V2]
I know you think I’m just like the rest

You think I’m gonna treat you like second best

But baby, you ain’t no consolation prize

Better believe me, I’m not telling you lies

[Chorus]

I don’t know where this road is leading to

I don’t know what is right, what is true,

I don’t know if you can love me too

Can you love me too?

[M8 – Simon]
Day we first met, you came on like an Exocet

But now you’re acting like I’m some kind of a losing bet

You shot down all my defences, left ’em dead in the water

So come on babe, make like you know you oughta

C’mon baby, you made me love you, now I need you to love me too

Oh baby love me too,

Oh baby just love me too,

C’mon just love me too!

[V3 Simon + Laura ]

I know you think that you know the score

Been down Dead End Road too many times before,

But trust me baby, I just know we’ll come through,

I’ve made the journey, got the map and I’ll take care of you

[Chorus]

I don’t know where this road is leading to

I don’t know what is right, what is true,

But I need you to love me too

Can you love me too?

[Outro/Improv]
You made me love you..

C’mon baby love me too

God knows I love you- oo-ooo-ooo-oo

Can you love me too?

Rusty Halo

Your street cred is starting to topple
Your hand is tight around a bottle
Of frothing ego, that you drank away last night
Making sure your rusty halo was clean out of sight

You called your big book Writhe and Tussle
But you gave up without a struggle
Skipped the hardship, did your road trip, and just let rip
And still your car crash somehow made number one

Don’t forget who you are
Don’t forget where you’re from
Just because you got so big and bold
You ain’t too tall to come back to the fold

Satellite

You stole my heart
At the very start
You came storming in
And made my head spin

Turned me into
Your satellite
And I was happy
You were my delight

Spinning round and round
Around planet you
Spinning round and round
My orbit’s true

You had my heart
From the very start
Told me that
We’d never be apart

But you turned me into
Your spinning toy
And my heart was breaking
Just like a little boy

Spinning round and round
Round planet you
Spinning round and round
My heart was blue

I don’t want to fall
Over in the sky
I wanna come back down
Put my feet on solid ground

But every time I’m
In your atmosphere
I start burning up
My heart’s filled with fear
 
Falling down and down
It’s getting hot
Falling down and down
My nerves are shot

 
break

Don’t want to be
Your cold war spy
I don’t want to live
And let die

For all I am
Is just a normal guy
I don’t want to live
In your big fat lie

Spinning round and round
In your web of lies
Spinning round and round
No-one hears my cries

You say to me
You’ve got your values
So why are you
Always in the news?

And I know you say
You’ve got the blues
Yet I see you dancing
In your shiny shoe

Dancing round and round
Around planet you
Dancing round and round
In shocking blue

I hear you plead
“My heart is true”
But it’s not what you say
It’s what you do

Your charisma, your charm
It’s just cause for alarm
Since Aphrodite
Fuels your appetite
 
Spinning round the town
Always someone new
Spinning round and round
Leaves my heart so blue

Now I’m cold, I’m drifting
In the darkest night
A dead satellite
I’m your sacrifice

So why can’t you
Give me back my heart
The one you stole
At the very start

Spinning round and round
Round planet you
Spinning round and round
And my planet’s blue

Shooting Star

Steaming kitchen
Droplets trickle down the wall
Pictures hanging
Handsome pilot, standing tall

Bomber jacket
Sunlight on the wing
Loop the loop
Makes my heart sing

Mother’s talking
I heard it all before
But I’ll be walking
Before you go to war

Goodbye sweetheart
Now I’ll love you from afar
Yes, I’ve been grounded
So be my shooting star

I know I should have listened
When you told me about the war
I know I should have listened
Because you’ve seen it all before

Steaming kitchen
Droplets trickle down the wall
Pictures hanging
Handsome pilot, who did fall

Goodbye sweetheart
Now I’ll love you from afar
Yes, you were grounded
You were my shooting star

I know I should have listened
When you told me about the war
I know I should have listened
Because you’ve seen it all before

A Soldier Evermore

His girl’s back home at the factory
She’s making bombs for victory
He’s stepping out on foreign soil
Where the dirty hun made our blood boil
She waits for him at the factory
While making bombs to kill the enemy

And she’s still waiting for him
Waiting for her handsome soldier
He’s so fine and he’s so full of life
He’s coming home, she’s to be his wife

And then one day a ghost appears at her door
And she knows it’s him but he is not as before
It is just his body, his spirit is no more
He’s dressed in civvies, but his mind is still at war
His heart lies buried under an avalanche of gore
He’ll be her soldier, her soldier evermore

And he’s still waiting for her
Waiting for his English rose
She’s so pretty, she’s so full of life
He’s coming home, and she’s to be his wife

And then one day a broken man is at her door
It looks like him but he is not as before
His body’s there, but his mind’s still at war
His eyes are dark and she doesn’t know him anymore
His heart lies buried under an avalanche of gore
His soul’s been sacrificed to the insanity of war

She’s working in the scullery
She’s making scones a cup of tea
She puts the kettle on to boil
But his mind is back on foreign soil
She waits for him to drink his tea
But he’s still at war 
and she’s the enemy

And she’s still waiting for him
Waiting for her gallant soldier
He was so fine and so full of life
He came home, she became his wife, but


Every day a broken man lies at her door
His days are dark and she doesn’t know him anymore
She gives him love, but he just knocks her to the floor
His body’s there, but his mind is still at war
His heart lies buried under an avalanche of gore

His soul floats high above the bloody fields of war
He’ll be her soldier, her soldier evermore


Fireball

Your cat’s eyes don’t save me
From danger
They just lead me to you
Oh‐yeah, oh‐yeah

But it’s true that they say that
I’m lighter
And I’m brighter with you
Oh‐oh, oh‐yeah

Your sunset comes nightly
Burns brightly
I hold tightly
To you


But how long

Before you burn up
Before you turn into a fireball

Jack Daniels and bar belles
You pole dance so no romance
For you
Oh‐no, oh‐no

You’re twisting and you’re turning
And you’re burning, you’re falling
Thru’ space
Oh‐oh, oh‐yeah

Your thunder, it’s a wonder
And your lightning it’s exciting
To me…

But how long…
Before you burn me?
Before I turn into a fireball?

Well it’s true that they say that
We’re lighter and we’re brighter
As one
Oh‐yeah, oh‐yeah

But red lights can’t save us
From danger, they just lead us
To hell
Oh‐no, oh‐no

The flames are enticing
The inferno’s it’s inviting
Us in


But how long

Before we burn up
Before we turn into a fireball

Silver Moon

Don’t take too long

To write your song

We’re sailing soon

Please raise your hand

That waning moon

It’s the saddest moon I know

That fading moon

Means we really

We really

We really have to go

 
 

And as I gaze

Over the silver sea, clouds

Darken over me

And yes I know

I’m both twixt and tween

But I’m evergreen

That yearning moon

Can be a bitter moon, I know

That crying moon

Means we really

We really

We really need to go

 

Don’t take too long

To write our song

We’re sailing soon

Under a bright new moon

That silver moon

It’s the kindest moon I know

And now we’re going home

And we really

We really

We really have to go

Flow Through You, Flow Through Me

So how can I explain to you

All the crazy that you can do

And how can I get it through

All the wonder that I see in you

Oh I wish that I could make it true

This fantasy that I have of you?

I’ll wave my wand, then something bright

Lights up the night, and flows through you baby,

Flows through you baby, flows through me baby…

Oh I would scream till my face is blue

To the world at large, how good are you?

But then again, why share with them

Your aura, your light, your acumen?

If you’ll be water then I’ll be wine

Your sparkling words, your eyes divine

So please, just give me the time to do

Some wicked stuff, just me and you, baby

Flow with me baby, Go with me baby,…

[chorus – to be written]

The amazing soul that lives in you

A shining light that’s piercing through

My rusty armour, it just falls apart

Bare naked breast and burning heart

So how can I tap into

That crazy spark that burns in you

And how can I plug into

Ten thousand volts that flow through you baby

Flow through me baby, flow through me baby…

[chorus – to be written]
