Pocket Full Of Rye

Sing a song of sixpence
Pocket full of rye
fail to see the difference
never thought to question why
without understanding
How does your garden grow ?
Find out and let me know
with Silver bells and cockle shells
Fair maids in a row ?
As we reap, so shall we sow
from mighty oaks, little acorns grow
Green grow the rushes O
Once upon a lifetime
long,long time ago
four and twenty blackbirds
sitting in a row
These Pearls of Wisdom are for Everyone
if you open up your mind
Love may come and love may go
Green grow the rushes O
Sing a song of sixpence
Pocket full of rye

Don’t Do Enough

Well if it’s all the same to me
and it’s all the same to you
no matter what I try to be
no matter what I do
no matter what I do
I don’t do enough
Well if it’s always on your mind
and it’s always everywhere
the thing I seem to find
no matter how I care
no matter how I care
can’t care
can’t care enough
You’d better put your money where your mouth is
you’d better have your head screwed on
you’d better realise this is showbiz
you better realise this is wrong
You gotta take the bull
by the bullhorn
you better get your lights switched on
your move - put your money where your mouth is
you didn’t have your lights switched on

I am a freedom fighter
within my humble home
I’m fighting from the inside
I live my life alone
I am an eco-warrior
I get what’s going on
from watching David Attenborough
and toking on my bong
Where did it all go wrong ?
Y’ gotta get hip with the program
to get in with the people on the ground
I am a citizen of the world
I pray for Global calm
I cover my carbon footprints
by planting trees in Guam
Listen up now -
I’m getting hip with the program
I’m sitting in my sandshoes
embiggening my own views
signaling my virtues
filling up my church pews
I’m waging war on plastic
some people think I’m strange
I get so woke, it’s drastic
reversing climate change

A Simple Curiosity
05:20

a Simple Curiosity, a novelty of life
but anymore of your pomposity
maybe gonna have to get me a knife
‘cos “in the summertime ,when the weather is fine -
have a drink, have a drive ?”
maybe screw up your life
and it’s a matter of dubiosity
I think your man is talkin’ jive
Everybody,
stay in’ up all night
sleepin’ late’n’ drink in’ too much booze
Everybody,
everyday, everynight, everywhere
got the Lockdown blues
a Simple Curiosity or a never ending strife
I’ve had enough of this duplicity
somebody gonna get me a life
‘cos when the winter’s here, and it’s party and tears
when the sun goes down
will we do as we please
What’s the main mans new philosophy
I think he’s still talkin’ jive

Come Closer

I guess it don’t take long to lose that feeling
but that’s my heart that you’ve been stealing
and I have been left reeling
my soul can’t get no healing
and I really didn’t know
where to go
when the lovin’ left
and I’m trying not to show
what a blow
when your lovin’ left
Come closer, my darling
You’re so far, and I’m drowning
come lift my head above the water
come lift my head above the water
We had a natural love, with no glass ceilings - had no roof at all
and now -
I get by, I get high, I just hide my feelings -
I just hide them all
Come closer ,my darling
war’s over ,and I’m drowning
come lift my head above the water

Destroy Myself
03:56
|
|||
|
My mind is always working overtime
it’s no good for my health
It gets so bad sometimes I fear that I’m
going to destroy myself
Anxious agitation haunts me all the time
it’s just no good at all
I’ve got so low, I’ve got so high to climb
it’s like I’m in a freefall
Would you listen for a minute ?
would you listen ?
would you listen for a minute ?
would you listen to me ?
Falling apart at the seams
you can see what I mean
without possible means
not really living the dream

House
04:14

I’m so lonely
I feel like I haven’t got a friend in the world
and it’s just me only
and I haven’t got a hold on it all
and I haven’t got a hold on it all
haven’t got a hold
Sometimes I feel like a phony
acting like I haven’t got a care in the world
it’s not me only
but I haven’t got a grip on it all
and I haven’t got a grip on it all
haven’t got a grip
and when I’m feeling it
living it
nearly brought the house down (low)
and if I’m dealing with it
giving it
nearly brought the house down (low)

If love was blind,
would love be kind ?
If love was cold,
could love be told ?
If love was fair,
would we even care ?
If love was bold,
would love grow old and die ?
If love was kind,
You’d change your mind
If love was clear,
I’d have no fear inside
Whatever it is,
Whatever it was
I still love you because...
I still love you,
I still love you because...

Let’s Start Over Again
03:07

Let’s start over again
count backwards from ten
Let’s go for a walk
let’s sit down and talk
let’s start over again
Let’s start over again
like when we were just friends
Let’s not even think
just go for a drink
just start over again
I know that one day, I might change my ways
my mama says,
that one of these days
It isn’t over
so let’s start over
and start all over again
We’ll get together
ain’t nothin’ better
and do it all again
It’s never over
so let’s start over
Start all over again
