Obsession

Obsession, Obsession
With love and honour, when love goes sour
With intangible dreams, when life falls apart at the seams
With money and power, when money rules the hour
With names and places, those nameless faces
Obsession, Obsession
The unknown future, the strings to the past
To find someone to nurture, to find a lover that’s going to last
Obsession, Obsession
Obsession with all these I’m going to spread my wings, I’m going to fly

Brand New Car
04:36
|

The sun’s going down across the sky
see those city lights left far behind
feel that cool breeze brush across my eyes
like a snowflake on the shore
she leaves me wanting more
could be my paradise
hey don’t look too far
gonna have me that brand new car
cause I work the grind from five to five
just to keep you by my side
now the man says it’ll cost me more
to get my feet back on the floor
can you believe how he’s done me wrong
now i clutch the wheel in my hand
driving across this empty land
I’m feeling free
now the sun’s going down across the sky
see those city lights
nightime the shadows fly away
I’ve got freedom in my hand
don’t expect you to understand
now that things are going my way

Celebrate
03:21
|

See the sun rise every morning. Lay some peace upon your face
Should be enough to make your day, before you read any headline news
They say the light is over the horizon, we’re in the dawning of a new age
Will end the fighting and learn to feed the starving
We’ll search our hearts to find a way
No use in worrying about tomorrow and you can’t hold on to the past
So live now and be true to yourself, it’s the best we can do
Na Na Na Na
No one said this life would be easy, look how we make it through the troubled times
And as the walls crumble all around us, be clear of mind and let your spirit run free

Heart of the City
04:54
|
|||
I’m sitting here in my little room, sometimes I find it hard to breathe
The corner shared with a bristle and broom, the sirens wailing underneath
Now all my frustration turned to anger and all the faces I could not forgive
Well I’m always waiting in a line, wasting all my time, singing la la la la la la la
I’m all alone and deep in the heart of the city, shine the light down on me
Trying to find somewhere to call my own, a space with familiar sounds like home
Four walls on permanent loan, a table and a telephone
Well I’m always waiting in a line, wasting all my time, singing la la la la la la la
I’m all alone and deep in the heart of the city, shine the light down on me
Use to feel so safe and so secure, now I’m on my own and I’m never really sure
Just what the hell I’m doing, singing la la la la la lal
I’m all alone and deep in the heart of the city, shine the light down on me

Angel of Mercy
05:21
|
|||
With a can of beer and a tragic sneer, he sings all the afternoon
Outside the Pizza Hut, indifference sees a nut as just a normal loon
Now the traffic keeps a humming as he pours out his soul
Every word is meant for you and me
As the Jesus people fight, so others can see the light
Angel of Mercy, you helped me walk and you helped me talk when I didn’t think I could
Angel of Mercy, your words helped me, when my lips failed me and I wasn’t much good
Picture a man, who’s had a stroke, he laughs and he cries and he talks to the folk that he conjures
Now see the man with a funny twitch, he fought in the war, but he didn’t get rich
Now he tells his stories and recalls the horrors with a sentimental smile
It was so sublime to live in that time
Now he sits at the bar, makes me touch his scars and remembers
Angel of Mercy, you helped me walk and you helped me talk when I didn’t think I could
Angel of Mercy, your words helped me, when my lips failed me and I wasn’t much good

Coming Home
04:41
|
|||
Space and time, the church bell chimes, I hear the sounds of the ruffled leaves
As a child I jumped this fence, won the bet and 20 cents
Playing games that I believed in yes I did
Trees and colour, the winds of summer, echo in my mind
And every year when the leaves turned red, it was school again and early rising
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
Three weeks or an eternity
doesn’t make a difference, because I’m coming home
I’ve been away so long, thought at one point I could not carry on
Every night I was looking at the stars, made me feel like I was living on mars
Trees and colour, the winds of summer, echo in my mind
And every year when the leaves turned red, it was school again and early rising
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
Three weeks or an eternity
doesn’t make a difference, because I’m coming home

Small Town Blues
04:48
|
|||
I was sitting in a coffee bar in a coastal town, when a young girl and her guitar sang me a song
She said she’d sing of love for the price of an ice-cream and her meaning was meant for the boy
of her dreams
I wish I had a dollar for every time I hollered the blues
On the grass we lay together, talking about small town life and English weather
She said she wanted to move away, but didn’t have the money
Didn’t want to work a day, just wanted to sit a play
I wish I had a dollar for every time I hollered the blues
Don’t know your name or why you came
are you some kind of music star?
And she said, there’s a lot of mixed up kids running around
You could hear the sadness in her voice as she spoke
I wish I had a dollar for every time I hollered the blues

You Can Call It Love
04:31
|
|||
I’ll give you all my love, I’ll give you everything
I didn’t feel the warmth that your song could bring
You can calm a storm, seduce an ancient king
Keep a man from harm, so let the sirens sing
You can call it love or anything you like
Now as we go riding and finding new ways to carry on
And as the world moves a little faster now, I’m lying safely in your arms
You can call it love or anything you like
I’m thinking of you, I’m wasting all my days and my nights
Just another hotel room
And I’m waiting for the hour that I come home to you
You can call it love or anything you like

Who’s Afraid of the Dark
05:03
|
|||
When I was a young boy it stole my sanity
It could always smell my fear, now it’s still haunting me
I said no, no, no, it will never let me go
Cause its lurking in the shadows and there’s darkness all around me
Who’s afraid of the dark?
You can’t touch it, you can’t see it
Only feel it everywhere
It plays on our emotions, strikes those memories
Well there is nowhere I can run to only daytime can relieve
It will never let me go
I said no, no, no, it will never let me go
You’ve got to watch to your step and quicken your pace and see your icy breath.

October Moon
04:00
|
|||
Underneath October Moon I come to a cross roads
My compass points to the eastern sky, to all the lies I believe myself
This I see, this I see under the light of October Moon
So it says on my ancient rune, love is the answer it may come soon
If I stop and turn, it’s my soul to burn
Under the light of October Moon
Now the eyes of the universe are focused on me
There is no judgement can set me free, so I hold on to my spirit
This I see, this I see under the light of October Moon

Red River Valley
05:04
|

Overlooking the red river valley a blanket of clouds hides the stars beyond
Father Moon his face an enigma for all those who dance the circle dance
For the love of a mother who is another are we not an endless cycle of life...death...birth...and renewal
Remembering what I’ve chosen to forget, all my thoughts released on a silent breeze
the dog’s voices echo through the autumn leaves, answering the call of my people...
that I’ve helped build the steeple, that ruled from shore to shore.
Overlooking the Red River Valley
Cool is the night that carries my soul down the path that winds below
The frost of my breath speaks to isolation for all those who sleep a dreamless night to wake in anticipation for another lazy morning...
Overlooking the Red River Valley

The River
05:19
|

I know where there’s a river that never runs dry
You can hear sweet melodies when the night time cries
And all its asks us in return is to leave it some solitude
I know where there’s a river that never runs dry
Well sometimes when I lay by the waters crest
And the sky looms so large
And the stars seem within my grasp
Then a breath of wind blows by, you’d swear you hear the night time sigh
I know where there’s a river that never runs dry
Lay me down, lay me down
Let me rest my tired eyes
Cause I’ve found my final resting place
I know where there’s a river that never runs dry
Where you can feel the pulsing of the earth, the wind and the sky
You’ve got to feel that river flow and you my friends could know
Where there’s a river that never runs dry
