LYRICS

GRAVITATE

FIND A PLACE

I don’t wanna lose this feeling
No I don’t wanna crash and burn
I just wanna find a place to be
We can watch the world turn

Searching for the perfect line
But I can never make it mine
Screw the paper up and trash it 
Since you left I been nowhere
Maybe you don’t even care but I’m still hanging on

I don’t wanna lose this feeling 
No I don’t wanna fall apart
I just wanna find a place for us
We can make a new start

Always thought you were the one 
A rocket split the sun
When at first my eyes met yours
Now colours fade to grey and it gets colder every day
Baby come back and dry my tears. My tears oh

I don’t wanna lose this feeling
I don’t wanna let you go 
I just wanna find a place to be
We can make a new home oh baby

I don’t wanna lose this feeling
I don’t wanna crash and burn 
I just wanna find a place to be
We can watch the world turn

No I don’t wanna crash and burn
I don’t wanna crash and burn
I just wanna find a place
To watch the sun go down 


 

That Was The Day

 

It’s seems so long ago

Seasons and summers 

Have gone by since love joined our paths 

You were always the one

From the first moment on 

That was the day yes it was

 

Try piano rhythm solo later in song

 

I knew you were the one 

From that first moment on 

 

I hold my head up high

When I think of how our love survives

Some said it wouldn’t last

We made it anyway  

Because my heart was always yours 

 

And when we both said I do

Springtime it was in bloom

That was the day yes it was oh

 

And now this time gone by is a testimony to our love

I thank whatever powers at play

For guiding me to you 

 

You looked so beautiful

Holding your posey

That was the day yes it was oh

And the people they all came to see 

How much you mean to me 

That was the day yes it was

Yes that was the day yes it was 

Strange little you

 

Strange little you

Somethings stopping you from starting anew

You just carry on your strange little world you’re a strange little you

 

Strange little you 

Shutting doors that you should be going thru 

You’re not like the others who always do

You’re a strange little you

 

Picture you and me 

Sat in a sad cafe  

Two teas sheltered from the rain

Then you were taken by

A fan in reception

We had to take you screaming home again

 

Strange little you

Experts have no answers for what you do

No emotions that you care to display

You’re  a strange little you

 

Rewind to happy days

Spinning wheels and windmills

Up Southend pier we took the train

Outside on the deck

We played those silly games

I’m sorry if I wasn’t there always

 

Cos you’re a  

Strange little you

It’s a tragedy you can’t start anew

With somebody who could be good for you

You’re not bad you’re just a strange little you

Wired differently to all the other children 

You're a strange little you

Gravitate 

Would you do it all again if you could
Would you do it all again yes I would
Because thru thick and thin
I made the best of it all oh yeah 
I played the game 
And sometimes played the fool 

Would you like to change anything if you could
No I wouldn’t change a thing that’s understood
Because its crystal clear where all these roads were leading to 
And the moon and stars don’t have the charm of you

I travelled far singing my song
But now I’m back where I belong and it’s you
I gravitate to

Do you think we’re coming back into this world
If we do i swear that I’m  gonna find you
Because what gravitates the universe can’t keep apart
And there’ll always be a place  for you in this wanderers heart

I travelled far singing my song
But now I’m back where I belong and it’s you
I gravitate to

I been nameless pennyless and homeless
Ive walked the streets of destitution all alone
But I was lucky the resilience of fortune 
Got me through
When I found my way to you 

So I thank you for being a friend 
No matter what the future may have planned for us
It’s gonna be alright
We got something that holds together 
So let’s roll it out
In boundless measure

I travelled far singing my song
But now I’m back where I belong and it’s you
I gravitate to 

Oh and it’s true

Yes 
I gravitate to you

All I  Need 

Everybody wants a piece of me
When all I need is a little peace
And I tried so hard to be a hero
But in the end I’m just a dude called me

I can’t talk about your troubles 
When I got heartaches  of my own
And I can’t always be a shoulder to lean on
When the chips are down and you’re feeling low

Everybody wants a piece of me
When all I need is a little peace
And you may think that I’m a good samaritan 
But I feel the need to walk away sometimes

People fought and died for freedom 
Well I got chains of my own kind
For I am chained to guilt and imperfection
Just like anyone

Looking to find

Peace of mind
 

Come on 

Everybody wants a piece of me
When all I need is a little peace
And everybody seems to hang on for too long
When all I ask is give me some release

Life is somewhere I don’t have to be today?(be today)
Or a face that I don’t have to see
What happens if I go awol and hideaway(hideaway)
Would the world shut down if  I spend a little time with me 

Cos Everybody everybody wants a piece of me
When all I need is a little peace
And everybody wants to knock upon my door 
When there’s no one answering today

 

Yes I tried so hard to be your hero

But all I need is a little peace 

Forty Five

 

Forty five and he still can jive

Forty Five he’s in over drive 

5 times 9 makes 45

But I think he’s more like 25 

 

Some say 45 is getting on he’s  crossed the line 

but I know at 45 this dude is in his prime 

 

So 45 and he still can jive

45 he’s in overdrive 

The vegan lifestyle helps him thrive

That’s why he’s more like 25

 

I was 45 some time ago and look at me

Life begins at forty five and I’m the proof you see 

 

He remembers the good ol days

Grunge hip hop and the 90s raves

And he may live with some ancient ways 

But He knows all the ol record plays 

 

 

So 45 is a bus top ride 

45 is an ocean drive 

I know we love 45 

Cos we love him and he’s 45 today

 

45 today

      Strummin' Easy

But I’m just strumming and I’m thinking of you

One Life

 

I feel so tired of this endless doubt
I’m getting wrestless

                                         a. b
What you are capable of

So I say

Man you only get one life
And life goes on regardless
There’s another world outside 
So move along
Cos life goes on yeah

People think I’m mad

Watching my dreams grow old 
Too many questions remain
While I’m sittin here vegetatin
Unanswered

Man you only get one life
And life goes on regardless 
There’s another world outside 
So move along 
And life goes on yeah 

This place is a one horse town
In a sea of mediochrity
I’m gonna drown 

And if im still here after 25 years and complaining
I will never know 
What the great outside
Might have had in store for me 
If I don’t leave today 
Im never gonna breakaway

Man you only get one life
And life goes on regardless
Don’t put off another day 
Just break away
Life goes on yeah a paragraph. Click here to add your own text and edit me. It's easy.

Love Moves

 

Your love

I was born into

One Sunny day

In a beautiful way

you took my hand

On my first day at school

And walked me to the gates

 

When I was sick

You nurtured me with love 

When times were hard

you always had a smile for us 

And then Sometimes we laughed so much we cried

You kept me safe 

And  made me strong  

 

And love moves in a beautiful way

Just like a mountain stream 

A bird upon the wing 

You shaped my universe everyday 

And love brought us together

In a beautiful way

 

thank you  

For all the happy times 

For being there 

Whenever I stumbled 

I turned around and you were gone 

But the light you left  

Will shine on and on

 

And love moves in a beautiful way

Like the motion of the sea 

Wild horses running free 

You shape my universe everyday

For love brings us together

In a beautiful way 

Life Changes

 

We started out just two teenagers looking for fun
We loved and we laughed so much cast our dreams out to the sun 
Life was a party
We lived everyday
But too soon the party lights faded away 
So we turned the page and then 
life changed 

You wouldn’t recognise me
17 years ago
A wife and 3 children somewhere 
In a place you don’t know

We parted our ways
And the children have grown
And after all that I was fully disowned
So I picked up the pieces 
And life changed again 

If life didn’t change
Then where would we be
A moment in time  
A fast running stream 
I wouldn’t know you 
And you wouldn’t know me


So thru all the ups and downs 
Twists and turns we made it here
We found the end of the rainbow
Or so it appears
Your time is my time
We live for each day
And make the most of it for time will away
You held out a branch

and then life changed
I knew at a glance

and then life changed
But we took a chance and then life changed again
