Daffodil on Death Row 03:30
lyrics
buy track
Hush hush don't you speak there's a dark cloud over me Hush hush where's my God? Has he left me for another day? Hush Hush Hush Hush don't you breathe Brown shirts still surrounding me Hush hush Am i insane? Playing hide and seek at my age! But it's no game You have got to scream All the time hear the screams You don't want me to scream maybe then we can leave In sleep i hear a man around the corner he is a knight in shining armour Just scoop me up, proceed to tell me "its all ok today you are free" And then i'm woken from the silence Inside and outside blare the sirens Maybe the time is here to write that Gentle prose So everyone can know how it goes. A Daffodil on death row..... Hush Hush Have you come for me? Maybe one day you'll read How it was for me Feel me and smile for me The i too will be free Hush Hush!

Stuck at the Airport 02:58

Stuck at the airport for 15 long hours Nothing to look at but rancid green towers everyone looks at me thinking how strange as I strum my guitar on some green in the haze Not just playing one chord, here's two and now 3 driving the family insane next to me I can't stop this repetitive pattern of this day cos my plane hasn't landed its so far away Oh we'll never get out of here just accept that as fact i'll make airport communities just by humming my tat Nah nah nah nah............................... So the hours have flown by i'm at the check in but my luggage is to heavy oh lord what to bin? Osho book? Djembe? or my nepalese coat A voice cries "No bin that guitar and save us from those notes!" at on the plane i still have my guitar the lady is bored knowing we're going far She says "oh play as a tune to make all of us smile" "Sorry but Frannick's only played for the worthwhile not those without smiles" So we're finally out of here, bump bump bang we're away and me and my guitar live to fight another day nah nah na na ....................

I'm Alright 03:16
lyrics

Yesterday i wrote an album of songs telling all of what i've beeen some folks will listen to the songs and wonder where on earth i've been but that's alright, thats alright Sometimes you say it as it is without a hidden veil or twist It may worry some who cannot see So i sing this song to say that I'm alright Because those days i was in a rut not knowing what the mind would conjure up i just got tired of the stress and strife so i vowed to seek a new inner life It doesn't mean we don't have those bad days cos thats the game of life that you play so long as we know its not meant to be living out a time other to please so for you i sing this same old song for you all SO listen, listen to the truth the words i only sing not say then your frown will turn to smiles its all been so worthwhile today you'll be alright cos it's alright i'll be fine tonight we'll be alright

Do you know who you are? 04:31

You think you know who you are You don't know what you came here for You think you know what you want but is it told from years before You think you know what you are You think you know what i live for You think you know where you are Standing still cos you feel more One day soon i'll come to you Say again i'll make it through A deeper gaze through the smog A voice that cries with no echo the dorment feeling inside You can't just be hear to be fearful Sometimes i know who I am you won't believe that i see more so gently open the can when we're not numb we can feel all A dropped stich in lifes tapestry can reveal all for you to see Its On Me Come on, You know me ;-)

Beyond the page 04:17
lyrics
buy track
Never mind, if your compass is true You’ve been seen drifting from the space you once knew You sunk below, then soared above Always a story....it’s never enough Look in the mirror, all you’ll see is yourself Look out the window, there goes everyone else strike a chord, run towards their lives, then pause...... Stall, gather your thoughts. Found a way to forget...... Beyond the page, to your nearest sunset Find a way to remember, beyond the page with no right of reply We’re been left asking ourselves why.... Looking up at the sky Left asking ourselves why. You were formed....when others were made Hear your sounds, how our lives changed You were there........when no one remained Led us into the light......me out of the shade Suddenly found their prediction was right They could tell you’ve always disliked the Q&A......yeah but you made my day ............you blew me away Found a way to forget...... Beyond the page, to your nearest sunset Find a way to remember, beyond the page, with no right of reply we’ve been left asking ourselves why Looking up at the sky Left asking ourselves why. Suddenly found their prediction was right They could tell you’ve always disliked the Q&A......yeah but you made our day ............you blew us away Found a way to forget Beyond the page, to your nearest sunset Find a way to remember, beyond the page, with no right of reply We’re been left asking ourselves why Beyond the page....opened our eyes Looking up at the sky Look up to the sky......... Saying goodbye

Here you go All alone No background noise and no ringtones sitting still 100 heads tranquil a silent disco minus the headphones must be strong it won't be long until that song where's it gone? nothing wrong it takes so long walk outside nature beauty resides hear every blackbirds piercing cry the comfort isn't here outside to find the answer we go deep inside sila done sammadi done panna comes continuously patiently persistently Collevtive zombies float around concious explodes you hear no sound judging the people like we're conditioned to be And like real life we think we know but we don't know what they can't show VIPASSANA So on day ten you feel the peace out of the prison on life release why do you do it they say to me theres nothing more for me to say just hear goenka and give it a try and then some day you will know Metta panna everyone feel the love and be as one vibrate it now to all around sankaras deep inside are taken out 2500 years its been around the science proved so see the truth its all around Metta to you Metta to them Metta to you Metta to them Metta to you

Duel Conflict 04:38
lyrics

You hung over me why can it not be cos everything around you turns grey You hang over me everything you can see pulverises my head Today They said give it up when every man is falling down to let you know that i don't live it up i then realise my soul can't run This side there isn't miuch one man must give it up to stand on freedom street the people you will meet You don't feel the clutch of Stalin's subtle touch So i was the ground that stood between us when i fall I looked to see you but i saw a wall they gazed upon us saying "that is your fault" and time will give it up I was true enough...

Watch Our World 05:08
lyrics
buy track
And I feel the streams run down your eyeballs And I feel the scream that go inside you. No? I feel the hurt , you know If I drop the bomb inside your carriage Would I kill the dream of love and marriage So I, can’t drown in this tonight Hear me, when you see me Fear/release, watch the world. Oh won’t you be with me When you see the light increase Sing with me and Watch our world Days stretch out further than a marathon But weeks go so quickly I can’t count them You know, that its time to let go. And see, I don’t just want to make you happy Cos trying becomes a recipe of lying So I look deep to cure inside. Hear me, when you see me Fear/release, watch the world. Oh won’t you be with me When you see the light increase Sing with me and Watch our world

Until Now 03:29
lyrics

As a little boy, greyened factories surround You kick a football in the street, hear the milk float sound but he was lost in his head fed up of frost in his bed and he would never be with a flat cap and whippet , they said A 60s realisation took on the entrepreneurs hat selling meat from a van with all the del boy sav but then he falls in love, a sceptic Dad resists ITs time to ditch the wheeler dealing and become a banker he insists. Until now i never knew his plight Social standards and feelings the two can't requite until now i never realised the demons living inside and outside a world unkind Lesson learned not ever taught Tell you son not to be caught So now i feel new love for you You weren't given a chance just played societies dance Until now i thank god i spent that time with you where we opened up to see a depth released outside ever changing hear my cry did you make it when you died? Look, feel, hold me hand father and son both understand

Social Discrepancies 03:11

She said magazines are made for her Doesn't matter where she shops Never get some quality cloth She said people now obey for her Looking out for the photo shot in the story shop chorus Why would she talk so loud and beautiful Why would she walk with her face all wired up x 2 Wired up to the city street He said look at that with a monkey face Is he fixed in with a brace Go and steel his toe shoelace I said does it matter what you are? Yes it does your life's a jar with a screwed on top Why would she talk so loud and beautiful Why would she walk with her face all wired up x 2 Wired up to the city street

The drum of life deceives the beat the singing fire without the heat why can't we live upon a precipice of time Words and signs control who you are but does your life depend on a rising star Hold on Hold on How?? Changes brought about for the best A loving eye from one deceives the rest Hold on Hold on How??

Fresh Seed 04:57

Lyrics Verse 1 This is the song i sing to indicate recovery This is the one i bring to delve into discovery Picture you, Picture me Singing blue, don't go writing guff just follow me Chorus Don't you want it, don't you get it still you need it to be free once you got it, hold and squeeze it let the future be, Fresh seed Verse 2 Teachers gossiping inside affecting lives of children but all they every want to hide is a stormguard institution Look at them, soulless beasts Look at me, fight or flight is a plea why don't they see Chorus bridge Weeds cut you in half cut you in half, the thought! Days lie in the bath fill in the past, my lord Its not smug that fills the face cos they don't even know they fake it to be sure Bring it to the fore Don't you please follow me down Say your pleas, pierce that frown leave this place, get out of town its time to bin your job get high, cos i need more for me today Chorus

The End (Let love remind you) 03:59
lyrics

When said and done I sit alone contemplating where to turn my eyes A bitter fume the sheets are left a consequence there when we hide from life Oh lord take me there and i will find you A look around a seperate life asking why has all this time gone by Another love enters my life but yet again the time is never right Someone take me there so i can find you We can be searching all our lives clinging on conditioned thoughts won't come alive With all the the balance, like a supersonic seasaw ride Will you run or hide So hear me stand up be strong vulnerability you realise that i can see inside your soul can there be too many hearts to warm? Oh lord here today is where i'll find you Sit still, turn it off and we can find truth Right here, here and now you know i've found you Let go, be yourself , let love remind you
