About Time 06:21
lyrics
buy track
A day to watch the world go by - you’re basking in the sunshine But you can see things are not quite as you had thought When you look around now you can notice things are different People are not quite as nice when they’re wrapped up in a busy working day Seeing how impatient many are, it’s quite revealing And there seems to be no remedy for this poor citizenship Scary self-reflection of the years you spent amongst them But now you’ve found redemption in a time-rich reinvention of yourself Time no longer runs away The days feel like they’re long enough Time has now become your friend It’s all so weird - it used to be such a fight - now ‘if’ has become ‘when’ Suddenly a light bulb moment hits you in the face Remembrance of how your time would waste away You’re playing with a fiery theme - it doesn’t make for pleasant thinking But you’re feeling liberated in your newly-found existence happily Time no longer runs away The days feel like they’re long enough Time has now become your friend It’s all so weird - it used to be such a fight - now ‘if’ has become ‘when’

Think About Love 08:16
lyrics
buy track
How many times do I lie awake With things lingering on my mind? There won’t always be a pattern Or a logical cause to define In the dead of night The hours slowly drift away Then in the darkness our love finds a way To send me calmly to another day I’m feeling so much better when I think about you Now my troubles slip away It feels so much better when I think about you Now I’ve reached another day Why do I lie & worry? It’s something I can’t explain Sometimes it last for hours And sometimes it gives me pain But when you’re in my mind My anxious feelings slip away And when we get it right This loneliness I can allay I’m feeling so much better when I think about you Now my worries slip away It feels so much better when I think about you Now I’ve reached another day How many times do we lie awake With things lingering on our minds? There won’t always be a pattern Or a logical cause to define In the dead of night The hours slowly drift away Then in the darkness love can find a way To send us calmly to another day We feel so much better when we think about our love Our worries slip away It feels so much better when we think about our love We reach another day

Hypocrisy & Heroes 05:52
lyrics
buy track
You’re making all the news Your broken rules are clear for all to see Weakly justified With arrogance & hypocrisy With heroes all around People of immense integrity The injustice of it all Lies told free of anxiety Like a book, don’t think we can’t read you You’re transparent Self-prepared support And shocking governmental puppetry With no hint of remorse You’ve reached new depths of toxicity See the heroes all around Heart-warming displays of bravery The injustice of it all Souls lost alone in a human tragedy Like a book, don’t think we can’t read you Your judgement was so wrong

When You're Gone 07:02
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes when our love seems far away The discord weighs so heavily on the day Emptiness surrounds me & I can’t think what to say And I wonder how I’ll get by when you’re gone Sometimes when my mojo’s hard to find The discord weighs so heavily on my mind The world goes on around me & I’m feeling left behind And I wonder how I’ll get by when you’re gone I try to make it go away Sleep through to another day But I’m too tight to let it go I’m fighting an inner foe And it just stays firmly in my way But I know it’ll blow over & we’ll still love each other I want to make it go away It feels too high a price to pay I’m all twisted up inside Can’t see that all is well outside So I tell myself to try another way And when it blows over, we’ll still love each other Then night falls like a curtain Candles & incense help to change the mood And we’re sitting around in a meditative state Music & movies help to change the mood It’s been a really cool ride along the way… Sometimes when our love seems far away The discord weighs so heavily on the day Emptiness surrounds me & I’m lost for what to say And I wonder if I’ll get by when you’re gone

The Illusion Of Charity 04:22
lyrics
buy track
Living in a time warp Thinking that it’s all ok Not caring about how they feel And it was never ok & you do it every year Under the illusion of charity You should feel ashamed It’s pathetic to regard as entertainment Putting your hands where they’re clearly not wanted Using your inflated status To pursue a cheap endeavour Harassment & exploitation Feeling entitled by your wealth & power Your egos & delusions are laughable Let’s hope they expose your names Then your people would see you for who you really are What a bunch of sad, misogynistic arseholes Living in a time warp Knowing that it isn’t ok You can imagine how they feel Yet you turn a blind eye & you do it every year Under the illusion of charity You should feel ashamed It’s pathetic to regard as entertainment Putting your hands where they’re really not wanted

Through A New Lens 09:12
lyrics
buy track
There is no escaping - there are two sides to every story Better than to avoid it - ignorance leaves us no way out Re-learning it warts & all will help us understand Why the world is the way that it is now - the good & the bad A time for reflection - stories are told to make the victors seem right Now it’s time for a challenge - to realise some unpleasant truths Learning with a critical eye will help us understand Why the world isn’t quite as it should be - but the future lies in our hands Through a new lens, the land’s been divided by violence & greed Wealth earned & territories gained by unsavoury means To re-write a more balanced story, told in a way like never before To re-set the historical record - a more rational way to question the law Can help things to calm down - anger is only fuelling the fire Accepting what has gone & turning towards a long-felt desire Turning towards a fairer world - of social equality Help things to calm down - anger is only fuelling the fire Accepting what has gone & turning towards a long-felt desire Turning towards a fairer world Hold your nerve, don’t lose belief, a better world’s not out of reach If the powers that be resolve to teach the past through a new lens Brace yourself & don’t give up the fight - don’t lose belief in what you know is right Don’t let this opportunity slip away - don’t fuel the anger, don’t you look away It’s your duty, don’t you walk away - just listen to what the people have to say Right now… Hold your nerve, don’t lose belief, a better world’s not out of reach If the powers that be resolve to teach our past through a new lens

Life's What We Made It 03:41
lyrics

Taking a look around now I think I must be dreaming Living in the way I want to The years I’ve worked for this Taking a look outside now The river tells a story I’m listening to the way its babbling As it flows on to the sea Life’s what you make it… I’m flying, flying off on another magic night Climbing, climbing up to unprecedented heights Love takes me higher Living in the way I want to The years I’ve worked for this Life’s what you make it… Taking a look around now It feels like we are dreaming Living in the way we want to The years we’ve worked for this Looking around our world At times it seems surreal So many picture memories To portray our lucky deal Life’s what we made it… We’re flying, flying off on another magic night Climbing, climbing up to unprecedented heights Love takes us higher Living in the way we want to The years we’ve worked for this Life’s what we made it – with some luck along the way

Question 09:23
lyrics
buy track
All around the world there hangs a question To all with friends & family around them To everybody blessed with creature comforts Can we try & be more humanitarian? We’ll see if we will learn that lonely lives deserve a moment to be recognised We’ll see if we can step away from our own lives Now it feels we’ve reached a crossroad A chance to see that selfishness runs far & wide A need for us to show far more compassion But can we cast self-centredness aside? We’ll see if we can learn that poverty deserves a moment to be recognised We’ll see if we can mend our ways in time
