MORE SIMPLE THAN THAT
My love it's more simple than that
I'd really like to see those baby blue eyes again
My love it's more simple than that
I'd really like to spend some time in your arms again
But more simple than that
More simple than that
More simple than - that
I just want to see you face again
I really want to see your face again
I just want to see your face again
My love it's more simple than that
Well make the time - follow the line - to the country again
Seems good, just between you and me
We can ride on the train, slide in the rain
Our childhood fantasies
But more simple than that More simple than that
More simple than - that
I just want to see you face again I really want to see your face again I just want to see your face again
What's more simple than that
What's more simple than that
What's more simple than that
My love, borderline
I am yours, now you are mine
Well sing sweet harmony
Sing our song
For the world can see
But more simple than that More simple than that
More simple than - that
I just want to see you face again
I really want to see your face again
I just want to see your face again
What's more simple than that .(repeats)

SAME OLD SAME OLD
All around the world
All around the world
Same old game we used to play
Same old rules we must obey
What we take
That’s not for sale
Same old .. same old
Lost our way .. yet I recall
The same old excuses were used before
Same old .. same old
Live by rules .. we must conform
Living a lie from when we were born
Can we make up a mind of our own?
Change our religion .. choose our home
Can we find voice to call our own?
Do we have strength to stand alone?
The wisdom to discern right from wrong
Then leave a mark long before we are gone
No more same old .. no more no way .. no way
Make a mark then fade away as long
We’ve made a difference long before we’re gone
No more same old
No more - no way
……………………………………
INSTRUMENTAL
……………………………………
All around the world
All around the world
We’ll figure out a way to make this work
We’ll always see the other side of hurt
And if we can help .. that’s where we should stay
Then sing our song and then be on our way
No more same old
No way no more
No more same old
No way no more

We Can Do This

WE CAN DO THIS
We can do this – what you say
We can take things day by day
We can make it - just wait and see
This can happen for you and me
We can do this for all time
I need to call you a friend of mine
All my fortunes have arrived
Stop searching start being alive
One last time I’m here alone
Find my nerve and pick up the phone
Wait your answer patiently
Will you find some time for me?
We can do this what you say
We can take things day by day
We can make it just wait and see
This can happen for you and me
INSTRUMENTAL
We can make it – just wait and see
We can do this - and start being alive
If we can do this – what you say
Need to take things day by day
We will make it – just wait and see
This will happen for you and me
We can do this all the time
I want to call you a friend of mine
All my fortunes have arrived
Stop searching start being alive
Start being alive, start being alive
Start being alive, being alive
Start being alive, being alive
Start being alive, start being alive

A Sage's Journey

A SAGE’S JOURNEY
So many questions arise
When I look back over my life
Carrying this heavy load
So many forks on the road
It’s missed on me
What does it mean
My body has taken it’s fair toll
And now I’ve grown old
If I’m prepared to fly
Will you find me a pair of wings
Will you put me on your shoulder
And throw me into the wind
This mystery – what does it mean
I’ve crossed the line
And now it’s my time
Is this what I was meant to go through
What I was destined to do
What if some cosmic play
Is helping my soul on its way
It all sounds a bit insane
Like we’re playing some crazy game
What am I here for
I sense there is much more
Now I’m so frail
It’s time to tell my tale
This sanctuary widens my belief
All that I perceive
This human frame so beautiful and so strong
Wearies in time, survives for so long

Take The Money & Run
03:37

Take The Money and Run
Money can take you up
Money can bring you down
When is enough, enough
To what is a man allowed
Money can cast a spell
Delude you until you're dead
What have you got to show
A clay pillow to lay your head
CHORUS
And if fortune comes
Will you take the money and run
What's done is done
Take the money and run
If good fortune comes
Take the money and run
Opportunity
If this is meant to be
You gotta, you gotta know
Where you're money might lead
You gotta, you gotta know
It's not easy to break free
You gotta, you gotta know
This is not such a pretty game
Money can buy you hurt
What have you really gained
For all that I really want
For all that I really care
For all that I understand
When can I learn to share
On one hand I hold a dime
The other I hold a cross
On one case I feel the burn
The other I count the cost
CHORUS
But if fortune comes
Will you take the money and run
What's done is done
Take the money and run
If good fortune comes
Take the money and run
Opportunity
If this is meant to be

One More Chance

ONE MORE CHANCE
The very first time I took you home
You held my hand in your own
It all came back last night
Our very first kiss our very first time
And was I the first to complain
Although I know things have not been quite the same
Just one more chance - find a new place
One more chance - a brand new space
Please - just one more chance
Why oh why - must we say goodbye
Let’s try - keep trying
Dry those tears in my eyes
Is it so hard – so hard? - but it’s worth fighting for
Could this be our last dance?
Have we reached the end of this romance?
Forgive me if I make a little noise
Forgive me but I’ve got no choice
Going on forever – playing this one down
When I feel you’ll no longer be around
Just one more chance - find some relief
One more try - one more beat
One more chance - that’s all I can say
See it though - one more day
Please - one more chance
Why oh why - must we say goodbye
Let’s try - keep trying
Dry those tears in my eyes
Is it so hard – so hard?
But it’s worth fighting for
Could this be our last dance?
Have we reached the end of this romance?

OLD YELLOW
Momma went without a wedding - woh woh
How could we change that day
Poppa went without a penny - yeh yeh
We'll just have to pave our way
Everytime we hear the siren callin'
Our feet they want to - shuffle up-a-west
Maybe we got time to catch old Jeffson' ferry
Just to hear her a chugga-chugga-chugga-chuggin'
Make us want to lay down and rest - oh yeh yeh
Make us want to lay down and rest
And when the moon she beams down rays of laughter
Touch the heart of Leonard and I
Only Yellow knows just what we're after
Grab your soul reach for the sky
Grab your soul reach for the sky
Old Yellow scared of no winter - no no
Carry the warmth to your soul
Lead us to where grasses are greener - yeh yeh
Lead us away from the cold
INSTRUMENTAL
And when the angels start a callin'
Maybe then we'll really want to go
We can wave goodbye to Jeffson' ferry
Stretch a hand to Old Yellow
Yeh ...........................

WALKING ON THE SUNNY SIDE
Walking on the sunny side
Walking on the sunny side
Walking on the sunny side - aah aah aah
Repeat
We took it back to where we had been
We're we never quite got it right
Played the sounds and played around
Then struggled on through the night
But - never once saw the break of day
Seemed the light never came our way
Chance the fall, we heard the call
We chanced upon the day
Walking on the sunny side
Walking on the sunny side
Walking on the sunny side - aah aah aah
Repeat
It all turned around in our home town
When we had reached our final time
What's in a life - we were not too sure
Now we're waiting to stand in line
Stretched out our hand
And then heard the man
From a greater source he came
Said, come with a plea
We went down on our knees
And to another source we prayed
Walking on the sunny side
Walking on the sunny side
Walking on the sunny side - aah aah aah
Walking on the sunny side
Walking on the sunny side
Walking on the sunny side - aah aah aah

TO FOLLOW
Ooh ooh ooh why I feel this way
Ooh ooh ooh why I feel this way
Through dreams I’ll wander
Sure to stop and then carry on
A life of wonder Jump high cant feel beneath …
And just follow – follow
Follow - follow Follow – follow
Ooh ooh– ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh– ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Why must it be me What must I live through I can only feel the way that I do
Ooh ooh– ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Sad on sad Then mad on mad
Then glad I’m glad Then happiness shines throuh
Ooh ooh– ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh– ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
So here I’ll stay outside myself Wandering through life’s golden lanes
A burning light inside of me To take me home where I belong

We'll paint ourselves with colour - act a dream
Then in line
We'll dance towards the man in velvet sleeves

The Poor Man

THE POOR MAN
To measure up to what a man should be
Ooh - I’m not a lone messiah
To break new ground forever reaching higher
Can you help a blind man see?
Am I so poor?
Is there no shame?
Where can a Poor Man hide?
Living on borrowed time
With my hands tied
Where can this Poor Man hide?
I set myself a goal that was unreal
Then deftly lost a part of me
No fortune left to conquer my desire
No gain no opportunity
I’m falling
I’m breaking
I’m bleeding
I’m seeking
Counting through the days
Finding other ways
Am I so poor?
Is there no shame?
Where can a Poor Man hide?
Living on borrowed time
With my hands tied
Where can this Poor Man hide?
So now - look inside
If I live, if I die
Makes no difference – if I die
For my beliefs, they will prevail
If I succeed or if I fail
For this Poor Man’s tale

JOHOR MY SON
My old Dad, he once turned to me
Said son, life's not all it's made out to be
Life - why is it so cruel
Johor my son
Don't be like me - always on the run, on the run
It's such a mystery to me
As I raise my glass - look over the sea
A pretty, pretty bird on my shoulder my word
As I bask in the sun, sip Jamaican rum
Singing my song
But I promise I don't mean you no harm
Be is it may
I can't find my way
In this world full of rules
A world rich with fools
Where no one believes
A world full of thieves
Escape into the sun
A man on the run
My old Dad, he once turned to me
Said son, life's not all it's made out to be
Life - why is it so cruel
Johor my son
Don't be like me - always on the run, on the run
Home is alone
A life at sea
As I follow this course
My destiny
Appeasing desires
Fueling my fire
Filling in time
With a life borne of crime
Weather the storms
A life without form
A traiter to me
My one family
And the colour’s they fade
Paradise gone astray
Falling away
And with salt on my tongue
I turn to my son
My young son, he once turned to me
Said Dad, what did you turn out to be
I said son, I was such a fool - Jordan my son
Don't be like me - always on the run, on the run

MOTHER EARTH THIS STELLAR DANCER
Play the life for the money
Drink the milk, taste the honey
Raze the land, our sole provider
How we love to despise her
Around the world
Will we never learn
Around the world
Around the world
How we love to despise her
Fight for space grow no wiser
From where we came to where we go
So above - so below
Our mother, keeper, minder feeder
Is this how we intend to leave her
Take the spoils thieve and plunder
The hand that feeds us ripped asunder
Finally perceive what is right
Before the day turns to twilight
Mother Earth this stellar dancer
Makes us reach for an answer
Around the world
Step by step we learn
Face towards the sun
A new age has just begun
Around the world
Around the world

SWEET QUEEN OF MEANING
Oh our sweet queen of meaning
Why did you not come before we fell
We place only three before you
Our Lord, our peace, the will to tell
CHORUS
You got to remember where we came from
We were not born into nobility
Please remember where we came from
Our lifestyle forms one pattern
Of poverty and pain
Our arms we place before you
Remember from where they came
CHORUS
...... then hear me
Aah aah aah aah aah .........
Aah aah aah aah aah .........
We thought of the sunset
We thought of the time the night came near
We remember the trumpets
Remember the suffering, remember the fear
Oh know now you've touched the ceiling
Oh know now to use more feeling
Oh know now your foes are pleading
Oh know now please no more bleeding
We pass on the flag of surrender
We put down our swords please remember

Aah aah aah aah aah .........
Aah aah aah aah aah .........

Quest

QUEST
Take from my left hand
Then look in my right
Reason comes near then moves out of sight
Look down below
Look all around
Anchor my blistered feet on the ground
Shall I throw in my towel
Give up the fight
Find out who's to blame
Who has the right
Look over my shoulder
Far up above
In one single life there's not a lot to be sure of
CHORUS …
Oh Lord - please don't walk away
Help me take things day by day
Take my hand - am I in too deep ?
Oh my soul is yours to keep
………
Father above, the devil below
Jesus please help me I've so far to go
Help me to do what is right
Help me to turn away from the night
Help me - to be
Give me - more room to breathe
Help me - through this inner storm
Trapped inside this worldly form
Help me - to feel
The difference between illusion - and what is real
Help me - to understand
If there's a rhyme or reason - a hidden plan
CHORUS …
Lord please don't walk away
Help me take things day by day
Take my hand - am I in too deep ?
Oh my soul is yours to keep
Oh Lord - how my heart still bleeds
Give me a new direction, give me some relief
Take my hand, please set me free
Oh my soul is yours to keep

LOUIE’S RELEASE
Momma once said you're better off dead
Away from the cotton fields best forgotten ok
A dime for you, a dime for freedom
Louie can you find one single reason to stay
And for all the tine you spent jive talkin'
You keep on walkin' on all alone - alone
Facing new dreams of high rollin'
When the lash of a whip is all you've ever known - you've known
The riverboat queen rides into the sun
It's taking you away - away
The scars on you back, the salt on your tongue
All those memories fading away - what you say
Shake a hand polish a shoe
If lifes' all about payin' your dues - you're ok, ok
Louie you now face a new day
If lifes all about forgiving
If that's what's called living - take centre stage
Louie you have found a new way
Remember the man in white
The screams in the night
Now there all gone - all gone
The sobs the cryin'
The sweat the fighting - for so long, have gone - all gone
INSTRUMENTAL
Louie you now face a new day
Louie you have found a new way

READY OR NOT
Wasting your life
Dead end job
Live in your mind – not in your heart
Unhappy at home – angry at work
Are you ready?
Are you ready to move?
Reach for the sky
Live life to the full
Not sit home and cry
To break the chains
That keep you held down
It comes from within
Not from all around
Get out of the rut
You can do it you know
Say your goodbyes
Get up and go
Are you ready to live?
Ready Or Not
Are you ready?
I need to break free
From a place that’s not quiet sane
Where there is nothing to take
Can see no point
No contribution to make
Look at life from a different plain
Without all the turmoil and pain
I escape
I break free
And it’s time to find – the real me
Are you ready – ready or not?
Are you ready – ready or not?
Are you ready – ready or not?
Are you ready – ready or not?
Now I made my move – I’ll take my best shot
Follow my dreams
Feeling so hot
Out in the world
Show what I’ve got
‘Cos I’m ready
Ready or not
Are you ready?
INSTRUMENTAL
I’m living a real life again
Breathing the clean air of change
Opening up to the world all around
Planting my feet – firmly taking command
Looking inside – finding my strength
Blowing away all the old remnants
Of a life gone stale that was holding me down
Standing clear on higher ground
I’ve escaped
Broken free
And I’m looking for – me
Now I’m ready to show what I’ve got
I’m ready to show what I’ve got
I’m ready to show what I’ve got
I’m ready to show what I’ve got
No more hiding behind closed doors
No more secret pain
All I was willing to lose
All that I finally gained
That emptiness in my heart
Yearning within my soul
Reached out for some truth
Treasures I now enfold
‘Cos I’ m ready to show what I’ve got
I’m ready

CARRY ME HOME
Go to catch that train back to Hampshire
Before I lose the meaning of things
Not long ago I lost my fortune
On dogs, and cards and a wheel that sings
Like a giant catapult it will leave
All my troubles behind me
Lay all my freedom on the line
It’s fine to be free …

Love flowers down thirty reasons
Why I must go back again
It’s just my soul I’m pleasin’
Journey back a track again

MIEYLO
Might turn out to be what Mieylo wasn’t meant to see
All his worlds and glorious spheres of gold
Past the many rocks of ages though all time
Mieylo everywhere – he was there
Amongst the subtle vibrational energies like a universal scout
Mieylo waits patiently …
Mieylo been around – the countries and the towns uh huh huh huh
Mieylo been around – the countries and the towns uh huh huh huh
And Mieylo played it sad
The only thing he has was his spirit and need
Mieylo played it sad
The only thing he has was his spirit and need
He moved himself around
His spirit knows no bounds
It has to be free
Lead him to see
Where all things have been ….
INSTRUMENTAL SECTION
Mieylo where you go - the Lord is sure to follow
Guiding hands through lands you want to know
Might seem impossibility, to find you way through our reality
Yours is all – but no one, no one hears your call
Oh and when you’re journeying through
A coloured world that blooms
With meaning and cause
Or feeling how or why
The planets meet the skies
They all fill a space, all have a place
But your soul keeps travelling on
And reaching to the Lord
Ah huh huh huh
Ah huh huh huh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah ….

Take you down to where you’re meant

Take you down - there
A moment or two we can share – there
There’ll be nobody to say – go away
Let us take you there soon – soon
Hand in hand we can sing - our love tunes
Take you where the sun forever shines
Take you where all children cannot cry
In this paradise we’ll close our eyes and find
This troubled world forever left behind
Through this great land we can forever wander
This place exists on the other side of time
Here we’ll stay for eternity or longer
In this place our destiny we’ll find
We can travel where we want to go
We can find peace in the wind and snow
We can ride the moon
We can be there soon
Warm the sun
With our love - soon
Put our feet on the nearest - star
Take this voyage so near - yet so far
