Living In Isolation
You walk through the night,
Dressed all in white.
When will you realise,
You can't live on lies.
It's a never ending game,
Each day's the same.
Life's so unfair,
No life is there.
Living in isolation,
Living in fear of what's to come.
No one's gonna listen to me,
'Cos I'm alone,
And on my own.
My world has cost,
A lifetime is lost.
Your life with me,
It's been one long dream.
Dressed all in white.
When will you realise,
You can't live on lies.
It's a never ending game,
Each day's the same.
Life's so unfair,
No life is there.
Living in isolation,
Living in fear of what's to come.
No one's gonna listen to me,
'Cos I'm alone,
And on my own.
My world has cost,
A lifetime is lost.
Your life with me,
It's been one long dream.

...Not Forgotten
I am still here, fully intact,
Wearing this heart upon my sleeve -
Because I believe.
As a matter of fact I'm learning to breathe.
And far from forgotten,
I continue to rise,
Reaching new heights,
Heights I thought I'd never reach.
So, how are you JACK,
Feeling low?
Hmmm, I thought so!
Never mind, I'd give you some tips
You'd probably throw back in my face!
Well I believe in the human race,
And willing to give people a chance.
Where others might have shut them out,
I'll win them over with kindness and love. ...

Whatever It Takes...
(HarleyQinn_2/Billy Snagg)
Whatever it takes...
I will win this war no matter what,
Faith assured l will be strong.
For when it comes to counting sheep,
I won't be losing any sleep.
The ripest fruit is hardest to find,
But I'll search harder to find what's mine.
With God at my side, I won't suffer defeat,
Because of the flesh upon these feet.
As we forget struggles, let's head out the door,
For things to do, even though we are poor.
What future plans will get laid down?
Only dream of tomorrow when today...
Whatever it takes...
I will win this war no matter what,

I won't be losing any sleep.

But I'll search harder to find what's mine.
With God at my side, I won't suffer defeat,
Because of the flesh upon these feet.
As we forget struggles, let's head out the door,
For things to do, even though we are poor.
What future plans will get laid down?
Only dream of tomorrow when today...

Quatern Leap Of Faith
I took a quatern leap of faith,
To see if this would work out right.
Found myself slipping down the line,
By those putting me in my place.
But fighting the urge to be told,
I took a quatern leap of faith.
Some might say it was rather bold,
Punching somewhat above my weight!
Was finding hard whatern to take,
As every move swallowed me, but...
I took a quatern leap of faith,
Seeking this journey's final end.
Having no real sense of rhythm,
Felt kicked around and out of sorts.
Bit the bullet, in doing so... ...

Last Night With Janis Joplin
I kinda wish I knew Janis Joplin.
Knowing what I know now, I would've tried talking her from taking that lethal overdose.
Ok, I know she was a troubled soul with an addictive personality -
Still, I would've tried.
I would have asked her some obvious basic questions, like
What is it she holds most dear in life -
Performing in front of a live audience and getting off on it,
Or sinking down like a clown into oblivion with no way back?
I mean, that's a hell of a deal that can't be reversed.
What was more important, Heroin or your right to prove you're...

Valentine Baby!
(Billy Snagg/LibraSoul96)
Hey yo, Valentine baby!!!
Fancy doin' somethin' maybe?
Go out for a meal
Say we gotta deal
Sayin' what I feel
That guy Cupid, slightly stupid
Wat he all about?
Shakin' it, fakin' it, wearin' it
Tearing it all day long
Outa chocolate
Outa luck
Get real baby
This is our fight
Chance we make right
Everythin' wrong
Valentine fine
You will spend every dime
My love will have you addicted
Like the rarest form of kryptonite
I'll be...

Stanton Drew
I've always liked stone circles,
Within them there's an inner peace.
Giant rocks once placed in hands,
From the land of ancestral man -
Neolithic reminders of a bygone age...
Back then people believed what they saw,
Celebrating morning, noon and night;
Worshipped under a watchful sun -
By monuments, defying millennia.
I stand in awe of your knowledge,
In wonderment at your strength also.
You made those boulders stand upright,
Even before you could properly write.
Pagans and Druids would dance around fire, ...
Within them there's an inner peace.

I stand in awe of your knowledge,
In wonderment at your strength also.

Christmas Cheer!
I gotta start thinkin' bout Christmas, don't wanna though! Hoping to put it off a while longer,
So I end up buying all my shit at the local gas station on Xmas eve!
When I think of Xmas I'm reminded of my own, back in the day.
The sound of ungrateful kids crying at the disappointment of not getting the presents expected.
My Nan, doing her best, educating us to share, givin' my sista what was rightfully mine, the cow!
Ahh, Brussel sprouts, it's not Christmas without 'em, is it? I don't want any ole sprout though -
Mine have to be drizzled in honey, topped...

Looking For The Answer
There I go again...
On another mini bender, air guitar,
Desperados -
Strutting my stuff,
Watched by thousands!
Like we haven't all been there before, right?
And there I was...
Searching for the answer.
It's funny how everything feels better,
In this alcoholic swing state mellow haze.
It's like I can't deal with the question
Any other time.
It's either too dark
Or too God damn stark.
What was the question again?
On another mini bender, air guitar,
Desperados -
Strutting my stuff,
Watched by thousands!
Like we haven't all been there before, right?
And there I was...
Searching for the answer.
It's funny how everything feels better,
In this alcoholic swing state mellow haze.
It's like I can't deal with the question
Any other time.
It's either too dark
Or too God damn stark.
What was the question again?

Election Day!
I've got a rat in my poky bedsit that needs terminating;
Magpies nesting in the ceiling keep me awake I'm sure -
Actually, it's squirrels!
I've got an ass of an ex who's started hitting the bottle again,
Even though there's someone else who really needs her care!
Been hit for council tax too and still sharing one wheelie bin between six!
On top of that, I'm not getting anywhere on plenty of fish either;
Trivial in comparison to everything else of course but still I wonder -
Does life really get any better than this; my celestial paradise?
Well, put...

Know
Feelings are fleeting
Why you keep bleating?
It's my life
So why all the strife?
Try living in my body
See how you go -
Then you may know.
Sometimes it is slow
I can't always be
The star of the show...
One day you will know!
Why you keep bleating?
It's my life
So why all the strife?
Try living in my body
See how you go -
Then you may know.
Sometimes it is slow
I can't always be
The star of the show...
One day you will know!

Proper Friends?
I do not ache for you no more,
Not like I used to anyhow.
Your attraction is diminishing,
More and more,
Don't like you like I did before.
I don't share the same ideals as you,
Or your enthusiasm for what it's worth.
I don't like being told what to do,
Or how I should be pleasing you!
You're far too proud girl, same as me,
We cancel each other out that way.
Impasses are easily reached with us -
Like how many times do we kiss and make up,
And who will be the first to break;
How much more shit will I take? ...
Not like I used to anyhow.
Your attraction is diminishing,
More and more,
Don't like you like I did before.
I don't share the same ideals as you,

You're far too proud girl, same as me,
