With you

He knows it’ll be a rough ride
As she goes flying by
Do you know if it’s all true
Can’t we stop looking over
All our memories shoulders
So I end up here with you.
La la la la
La la la la
With you
Leaves fall at our feet
Thoughts bounce down the street
you know, they never knew
I’ve been sliding down,
until I found this life, on drifting clouds
With you
You caught me falling
Spend another day with you
Heard you calling
Forgotten words, oh so true
Seen you soaring
So high I want to fly away
by your side, take a ride
With you
You caught me falling
Spend another day with you
Heard you calling
Forgotten words, oh so true
Seen you soaring
So high I want to fly away
by your side, take a ride
With you

Did you see a fantasy fall at your feet
So take time to reconnect with people I the street
The humbleness in smiles goes to show
Some don’t know they things they should know so..
Am I wandering alone ?
Then you receive a battered Mo(ped) with the name of “Tracy “
Peddle boat ride with a shining light out to the sea
Do I come 3000 miles to see a sunset dream
That’s not me ,
Can’t you see
I’m just trying to reconnect reality
So treading a forgotten road
Community and querying minds
Don’t be trapped in what you do
Just leave it all behind
The signs
Go unnoticed in your life
So make this “The Time “
Instrumental
So treading a forgotten road
Community and querying minds
Recognisig others needs not falling into preprogrammed lines
Serving all the servers that give you everything everyday
Don’t be trapped in what you do
Just leave it all behind
The signs
Go unnoticed in your life
So make this “The Time “

Oh Phayam
06:14

It was love at first sight
I’d never seen anything like
Your jungle roads and twisting trees
The smell of cashews strong and sweet
The open hearts, the open doors
The open sky and sea
The coconuts, the rubber trees
Those spirals in the sand
Your moonlight shinin’ mystery
Your music in my head
And all these things, they made me say
“I’m stayin’ one more day”
‘Cause you taught me how to love
Like the open sky above
And you taught me how to be
You little island in the sea
And you showed me who I am
Oh-oh-oh, Phayam, Phayam
I came back first of August
The middle of the rainy days
With dreams of simple living,
The perfect love, and easy ways
But you had other plans for me
As I was soon to see
Spiders big as pancakes
And roaches that can fly
Washin’ all my clothes by hand
Three days for them to dry
And there’s mold in my pillow
It’s chokin’ me at night
It’s shower time, the water stops
There’s shampoo in my hair
A wasp has built a nest of mud
In my underwear
My nail bed is infected
But do you even care?
Well, I didn’t have a clue
What you were about to do
You shook me up and took me down
To the place where truth is found
I tried to take things day by day
Learnin’ all new tasks
‘Til that no-name dog that had three names
Whose face was like a mask
Stole our dinner, broke our plates
And I broke down at last
And then there were the nights
When the storms came rushin’ in
When we had our first fight
I felt the world was cavin’ in
So sure I was right, but did I
Lose or did I win?
Well, you taught me to let go
Of the things I can’t control
And you taught me what was right
How to stand without a fight
And you showed me who I am
Oh-oh-oh, Phayam, Phayam
Oh-oh-oh, Phayam, Phayam
‘Cause, you taught me how to love
Like the open sky above
And you taught me how to be
You little island in the sea
And you showed me who I am
Oh-oh-oh, Phayam, Phayam...

5 strings by the sea
03:38
|

On a dark starry night
When the moon had all its light
All the flags with colours bright
Stand aloft trough the sky tonight
The lights that flicker across the sea
Who’s playing over there ?
Well its not me
It’s job2do , he plays all the time
And sings the songs of the island
Mich more than Mine
You gotta see it there today
Don’t ever wait another day
To join me at the beach
At this time it’s going to be reality
There’s no one else
Just me and me
The sea is ruffling crabs houses above the sand
They can feel , a touch inside
Of every man or woman walking
In over sized 9’s
Won’t you just be there with me
You gotta travel across the sea
To find what you and I can see in the isle
This old sceptic isle
That has the power to release
Everything within me

Acoustic Dreams
04:58
|

Somewhere over there, across the sea
There’s a man creating music continuously
It feel so close , yet so far away
I want to badger for more every day
It’s near the end but we’re not on the ropes
Can I find a place to sing , will neighbours cope
Daylight fills his life whilst I’m fast asleep
Tomorrow I'll sing it somewhere out at sea
Received
Relief in me
Feel
Conceal
Is it real ?
Acoustic dreams can be .......
Open your eyes then connections flow
I’ve never met this man but feel so close
I’m a Cooperider gazing across to see,
A man sat in his hammock sipping tea
There’s snow outside , so I’ll make some flames
And if it snowed in Thailand , he’d do the same
A world so small brings it home to me
At last we all can praise technology
Receive
Relief
In me (give the acoustic dreams to me )
Feel
Conceal
Is it real ?
Acoustic dreams can be
Ah American dream
Ah Asian dream
Ah continental team
Musical dreams so sweet

Journey's End
03:14

Sat here leaving far too soon
The fear taking off to a place called home
The deep real connections I know
Could remain if you don’t close your tomb
So when you see no tomorrow
That’s the time when you’re not alone
So the needs of kindred souls
Is how island life unfolds
What am I doing here ?
Finding balance between being out or in
But signs point you somewhere unknown
So surrender and welcome that as your home
Chorus 2
So when you’re in the tomorrow
All the bars of life slip away
Understanding your journey
Takes time you know
Bridge
Ooo and ahs 😜

Edge of the earth
People say
Natures perfected bay
Tourists sit
Without a care
On their queen elizabeth chairs
Why can’t they see
Over there
A shining light they all could share
Everyday making them feel at home
Still royal subjects hearts are stone
Maybe they’ll see the beauty I have found
Not buried in the ground
It comes to me to say to you look around
But their heads stuck in the ground
Here she breaths
Her smile fills the sea
You can be her
Feel her
Then the humble perfect seed ...
Will grow and match what I have found
The outer things will sync within yourself
Be grateful for what you’ve found

Sleeping by my side
02:48
|

When you’re sleeping by my side
I am watching over you
While the fears you try to hide
Gather round our room.
Glimmers fleck darkened walls,
Torches in the countryside,
Distant trumpets call,
And those old wars return to life.
Though we can’t escape the blades
And fears converge to overflow
Together we'll contain
More than either one alone.
Comfort may come drifting slow,
And wounds take their time to heal,
But if we move into the flow,
Morning light will lift the veil.
When you’re sleeping by my side
I am watching over you

Embarrassed Eyes
02:52

So do you want it tough ?
Just when you had enough
So you choose to be
Anything to stop me
And do I want it tough ?
Let go and feel the rough
Why don’t you leave me
So you can be free
Ooo embarrassed eyes
Come and step on that pride
Calm the chattering mind
Close the box of imaginary fright
When you failed the first
You’re over the worst
It’s all you can do
See the light that shines above you
I want it more so see
Accept all that you can be
Get in the moody blues
Be the high by my side
Ooo embarrassed eyes
Come and step on that pride
Calm the chattering mind
Close the box of imaginary fright
Here’s to the good times baby
Who wants to live forever
Be here to see the sunset , everyday
Here’s your unwritten novel
Turn the page to see the trouble
Read between the lines and you’ll find
Life !!!

The barn

Want you to sit up
Don’t want you to hide.
What to make you think
I know, if I fall behind
You’ll always make me shine
Let’s take a ride
Get out from behind
Those edges they
Devise and corrupt your mind
Now feel alive
You’ll always make me shine
want to make this date
With you
want to create the world
With you
I’ll lend you my arm
Sit here close to me
Watching
the moon floating over
The barn
It maybe cold
Just want to hold, you
Wondering how
I Just want to show you now
When it’s getting warmer
Want to hold you closer
In the darkened night
Clutching your hand
lets in the light
want to make this date
With you
want to create the world
With you
I’ll lend you my arm
Sit here close to me
Watching
The moon floating over
The barn

Breakdown on the Beach
05:43
|

I
My hair’s gone wild and my clothes are wet from the sea, all I really want is another cup of tea!
But they’ve brought more raki and tho I’m feeling crappy. I drink to to the sun and make myself have fun. I’ve lost my cigarettes but this time is still the best!
’m having a breakdown on the beach, but this life is pretty peach. I’m feeling loopy, feeling reckless, I’m a mess, I’m a mess. You know this time’s the best!
I’m having a breakdown on the beach but this life is pretty peach. But everything is fine because we’ve got greek wine.
And I know I know I know, that my troubles gonna go. Oh!
I’m lying in the seaweed trying not to sink right in. Can’t be bothered to walk up the cliff but it’s scratching up my skin.
I’ll have another cigarette and one more on the way. I buy a beer on the way back, but I forget to pay. My make ups across my face but it’s ok it’s ok.
There’s always another day.
CHORUS
It’s time to dance tonight but I know I’ll look a fright.
But it’s ok it’s ok as it’s just another day.
We dance and sing and laugh and cry and secretly I feel quite high.
But there’s it is again in my head,
this crazy loopy feeling pulling like a thread.
Perfection in sunsets you see.
Everything is perfect, apart from my brain and me
and that the kitchen gives me shocks and I keep falling down the rocks. But I laugh till I cry, could be the best way to die.
There’s always another tomorrow, there’s always another way. Even though my brain is broken it works in it’s own way.
Embrace the tears and fears, bathe in all your pain. Scream at the mountain and forget that you’re insane.
CHORUS

Love me the same
05:03
|

Oh quiet day, its here
What if I don’t want you to be this near, I know
I’m not the one I trust
So say to me, wake up
Smell the roses of all you’ve got . then you’ll feel my love
When its all too much
Take me, out there
Where people feel
Find them, So then
I won’t feel this pain
That’s here again
Maybe I’ll love all the same?
Oh precious souls exist
Seek between the narrow minds and the “shoulds” of life
Its harder than you like
So fly away, they say
But you know its not the distance
Cos I must turn to see
All that’s within me
Lets go out there
Where we reveal
Sit here
We’re clear
You don’t need that pain
But then again…
When you’re young they tell you what to do
“be this or that and there’s a life for you”
then you’re all boxed in what they said
who recognises soul is dead?
You must re-tread
So space and time
No set way to walk the line
So I say to you
Come and see my way
And you’ll love me the same

Interactive Message
04:43
|

Did you ever see me when i called you name?
i like the way you threw that killer gaze my way
Why did you always call me?
Did you feel the same?
I dressed you up to be the one who grew with me inside
Its all life in plain sight
the tortured mind uncovers might
that starry night will be the time
for the interactive message from my mind
This trueman show fantasy isn't all i thought
the things you can't forget encompass all regret
so prick the balloon of truth and you all shall see
when Lennon said those words
"Life's what happens whilst your busy making other plans"
Its all life in plain sight
the tortured mind uncovers might
that dream filled night can be the time
for the interactive message
don't ever come too close to me
just accept impossibilities
but i want you so close to me so i can find
that rhyme and rhythm of a beautiful life
Its all life in plain sight
the tortured mind uncovers might
that dream filled night can be the time
for the interactive message of your mind
its alright in here tonight
for the overactive message of your mind

Stone in my pocket
04:01
|
|||
Theres a stone in my pocket i use to tell the truth
it shines on through inside me still i don't know what to do
if i release or reveal it it will forget cos all's anew
so it hides undisturbed in satisfactory blue
Theres a town of which i'm speaking where collective conscious hides
in a box of landscape beauty that never sees the light
maybe one day they'll notice there's more to life than pride
then the stone will resurface and all will look inside
And you can be anything that you wanted
life's not meant to be a room with teachers' rules
so look outside at the things far beyond it
a returning chaffinch to your side can make
a new reality of dreams believe
It's a stone in my pocket
and how can you receive
say hello to the autumn
rustled joy within the leaves
theres a light in the box opened
and nothing more repeats
at the time we all notice that you'll come home to me
It's a stone in my pocket
and how can you receive
say hello to the Winter
rustled joy within the leaves
theres a light in the box opened
and nothing more repeats
at the time we all notice that you've come home to me
