Ode To My Family

     Understand the things I say
     Don't turn away from me
     Cause I spent half my life out there
     You wouldn't disagree
     D'you see me, d'you see
     Do you like me. Do you like me standing there
     D'you notice, d'you know
     Do you see me, do you see me
     Does anyone care

     Unhappiness, where's when I was young
     And we didn't give a damn
     'Cause we were raised
     To see life as fun and take it if we can
     My mother, my mother she hold me
     Did she hold me, when I was out there
     My father, my father, he liked me
     Oh he liked me, does anyone care

     Understand what I've become
     It wasn't my design
     And people everywhere think
     Something better than I am
     But I miss you. I miss
     'Cause you liked it. I liked it
     When I was out there
     D'you know this, d'you know
     You did not find me, you did not find
     Does anyone care

     Unhappiness was when I was young
     And we didn't give a damn
     'Cause we were raised
     To see life as fun and take it if we can
     My mother, my mother she hold me
     Did she hold me, when I was out there
     My father, my father, he liked me
     Oh me liked me, does anyone care

     Does anyone care

I Can't Be With You

     Lying in my bed again
     And I cry cos you're not here
     Crying in my head again
     And I know that it's not cleart
     Put your hands, put your hands
     Inside my face and see that it's just you
     But it's bad and it's mad
     and it's making me sad
     Because I can't be with you

     Baby I can't be with you

     Thinking back on how things were
     And how we loved so well
     I wanted to be the mother
     of your child
     And now it's just farewell

     Put your hands in my hand
     We'll find another end
     And come with me
     And my head, and my head
     On anyone's shoulder
     Cause I can't be with you

     Baby I can't be with you

     Cause you're not here, you're not here
     Baby I can't be with you
     Cause you're not here, you're not here
     And baby I'm still in love with you

Twenty one

     I don't think it's going
     To happen anymore
     You took my thoughts from me
     Now I want nothing more
     And did you think you
     Could just take it all away
     I don't think it's happening
     This is what I say

     Leave me alone
     Cause I found it all
     Twenty One

     So I don't think it's going
     To happen anymore
     I don't think it's going
     To happen anymore

     Twenty One

     Today

     Twenty One

Zombie

     Another head hangs lowly
     Child is slowly taken
     And the violence caused such silence
     Who are we mistaken

     But you see it's not me,
     It's not my family
     In your head, in your
     head they are fighting
     With their tanks and their bombs
     And their bombs and their guns
     In your head
     In your head they are cryin'
     In your head
     Zombie
     What's in your head, in your head
     Zombie

     Another mother's breakin'
     Heart is taking over
     When the violence causes silence
     We must be mistaken
     It's the same old theme since 1916
     In your head,
     In your head they're still fightin'
     With their tanks
     In your head they are dyin'

     In your head, in your head
     Zombie
     What's in your head, in your head
     Zombie

Empty

     Something has left my life
     And I don't know where it went to
     Somebody caused me strife
     And it's not what I was seeking.

     Didn't you see me, didn't you hear me
     Didn't you see me standing there

     Why did you turn out the lights
     Did you know that I was sleeping

     Say a prayer for me
     Help to feel the strength I did
     My identity has been taken
     Is my heart breaking on me

     All my plans fell though my hands
     They fell
     Though my hands on me
     In my obvious it suddenly seems
     Empty

Everything I Said

     It makes me lonely
     It makes me very lonely
     When I see you here, waitin' on
     It makes me tired, he makes me very tired
     And inside of me, lingers on

     But you have a heart
     Don't believe it, and you will find it
     Waitin' on
     Everything I said, oh, well I meant it
     And inside my head, holdin' on

     'Cos if I died tonight
     Would you hold my hand, no
     Would you understand
     And if I lived in spite
     Would you still be here, no
     Would you disappear

     Surely must be you
     But I don't make you lonely
     I'll get over you
     But I don't make you lonely

The Icicle Melts

     When
     When will the icicle melt,
     And when
     When will the picture show end
     I should not have read the paper today
     Cause a child, child he was taken away

     There's a place for the baby that died
     And there's a time for the mother who cried
     And she will hold him in her arms sometime
     Cause nine months is too long

     How could you hurt a child
     Now Does this make you satisfied
     I don't know what's
     happening to people today
     When a child, he was taken away

     There's a place for the baby that died
     There's a time for the mother that cried
     And she will hold him in
     her arms sometime
     Cause nine months is too long

     There's a place for the baby that died
     And there's a time for the mother who cried
     And you will hold him in
     Yours arms sometime
     Cause nine months is too long

Disappointment

     Disappointment you shouldn't have done
     You couldn't have done
     You shouldn't have done
     The things you did then
     And we could've been happy
     What a piteous thing, a hideous thing
     Was tainted by the rest

     But it won't get any harder
     And I hope you'll find your way again
     And it won't get any higher
     But it all boils down to what you did then

     In the night we fight, I lied you're right
     It was exactly then
     I decided
     And drew you out
     In the night we fight, I lied you're right
     It was exactly there
     I decided

     But it won't be any harder
     And I whope you'll find you way again
     And it won't get any higher
     But it over boils down to what you did then
     Disappointment

Ridiculous Thoughts

     Twister does anyone see though you
     You're a twister, an animal
     But you're happy now
     I didn't go along with you
     So happy now

     But you're going to have to hold on
     hold on
     Or we're going to have to move on
     Move on

     I feel alright
     And I cried so hard
     The ridiculous thoughts
     I feel alright

     Twister. I shouldn't have twisted you
     Twister
     It's not going to happen no
     You're not going to make fun of me
     Happen no

     But you're going to have to hold on
     You're going to have to hold on
     Hold on
     Or we're going to have to move on
     Move on

     I feel alright
     And I cried so hard
     The ridiculous thoughts
     I feel alright

     I should have lied
     But I cried so hard
     The ridiculous thoughts
     I should ha' lied

     But you're gonna have to hold on
     Hold on
     But you're gonna have to hold on to me

Dreaming my Dreams

     All the things you said to me today
     Changed my perspective in every way
     Then things come to mean
     To much to me

     Into my faith you
     and your baby
     It's out there
     If you want me
     I'll be here
     It's out there

     I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
     And there's no other place
     That I'd lay down my face
     I'll be dreaming my dreams with you

     It's out there
     If you want me, I'll be here
     I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
     And there's no other place that I'd lay down my face
     I'll be dreaming my dreams with you

Yeat's Grave

     Silenced by death in the grave
     WB Yeats couldn't save
     Why did you stand here
     Were you sickened in time
     But I know by now
     Why did you sit here?
     In the GRAVE

     W.B. Yeats "Second"

     Why should I blame her
     That she filled my days
     With misery or that she would of late
     Have taught to ignorant men violent ways
     Or hurled the little street upon the greant
     Had they but courage
     Equal to desire

     Sad that Maud Gonne couldn't stay
     But she had Mac Bride anyway
     And you sit here with me
     On the isle Inistee

     And your writing down everything
     But I know by now
     Why did you sit here
     In a grave ...

     Why should I blame her
     Had they but courage equal to desire

Daffodil Lament

     Holding on that's what I do
     Since I met you
     And it won't be long, would you notice
     If I left you
     And it's fine for some
     Cause you're not the one.

     All night long, I laid on my pillow
     These things are wrong
     I can't sleep here
     So lovely, so loving

     I have decided to leave you forever
     I have decide to start things from here
     Thunder and lightning won't change
     What I'm feeling
     And the daffodils look lovely today

     Oh in your eyes I can see the disguise
     Oh in your eyes I can see the dismay
     Has anyone seen lightning
     Has anyone looked lovely

     And the daffodils looked lovely today
     Looked lovely

No Need To Argue

     There's no need to aruge anymore
     I gave all I could
     But it left me so sore
     And the thing that makes me mad
     Is the one thing that I had

     I knew, I knew, I'd lose you
     You'll always be special to me

     And I remember all the
     Things we once shared
     Watching TV movies on
     The living room armchair

     But they say it will work out fine
     Was it all a waste of time
     Cause I knew, I knew, I'd lose you

     You'll always be special to me

     Will I forget in time
     You said I was on your mind
     There's no need to argue
     No need to argue anymore
     There's no need to argue anymore
     Special
