Wer wir waren – wer wir sind
Who we are – who we were
Only god can judge me
Ode to Joy
Anybody seen Ashy
Portrait of evil
Mr Jimi
Ghostly halos
Changes
Summer loving
Will you stay with me tonight
A belief in the healing power of universal love
Walking distance
Ode to Joy
For the ashes of your fathers
And the temples of your Gods
Ode to Joy
Celtic tiger playing for England
Everywhere is conflict
Everything is a contradiction
Heard the sound of distant drums
Mothers give up your sons
Old men have declared war
And youth must fight and die
I am the dreamer who lived the dream
A one man army battalion of me
Fighting for survival await my arrival
At the height of the fighting
I salute you my rival
Ode to Joy
Crocodile tears
The loudest patriots
Are the greatest profiteers
Hail Caesar
Let slip the dogs of war
Transform this dirt poor troubadour
Into a tour de force
Defender of empire state
And master of my fate
Captain oh my captain
Our enemy is at the gate
Promises that I must keep
Miles to go before I sleep
Paladin on the Somme Armageddon
Trailing clouds of glory still they come
Ode to Joy
A thousand yard stare
Trembling there
On the brink of insanity
In my arena conflict is theatre
Across the steppes we drive
Nobody here gets out alive
A face that launched a thousand ships
Truth sits upon thy lips
Stare into the abyss
Ignorance is bliss
Hit the ground running
Destruction so stunning
Whom the gods love die young
Always be ready steady boys steady
We fight and we conquer again and again
Ode to Joy
Love and devotion
Washing our boots
In the Indian Ocean
Widow maker media writer
One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter
A starving man at his master’s gate
Predict the ruin of the state
A man is born free
But everywhere he is in chains
There can be no peace
Till every man is free
There is no sin but stupidity
There is a church there is a steeple
Six feet of earth make all men equal
At the setting of the sun
The Valkyries have sung
Gotterdammerung
Ode to Joy
Boy Soldier marching thru Georgia
Love and devotion boys will be boys
From Atlanta to the sea
To save your world you asked this man to die
Would this man could he see you now ask why
There ain’t nothing more peaceful than a dead man
Anybody seen Ashy
School of hard knocks Guantanamo shocks
I’m looking for a rastafarian in Whitelocks
Could be in Beeston or EEP
Working at the door of the Skyrack in Headingley
Could be in Jamaica or Islamabad
Could be Hamas could be Mossad
In Chapeltown for a tridentine mass
A brand new convertible is out of my class
Said something about a yardie
Watching Laurel and Hardy
3 men to a cell in a prison called Armley
Pianorama a black and white drama
The thief the fool the gambler
In pax Americana
Second generation just like me
Doing the haka with Stewart outside Jacomellis
Divine nation Royal Park after dark
Watching Michelangelo’s vital spark
Inflationary universe Burley Road
Hey Burley Road boy
Feels like the streets are gonna implode
Streams of consciousness cho
Kobayashi king of the Jews
I’m searching for a minotaur and his muse
Playing them songs all night long
Boom diddy boom diddy boom boom boom diddy
He lost a brother in the Istanbul night
He lost another who took his own life
Men killing God
God killing men
Modus operandi no comprende my friend
Ancient mariner washed up on the rocks
How come one shepherd owns all the flocks
Hey good looking what you got cooking
You’re going home in an ambulance
Mother Shipton Abel and Cain
The second coming on Harehills Lane
Stardust memories shared history
Assimilation in the land of the free
So take it to the door Halton Moor
The prophet has left LS14
Belle Isle believes string of beads
Sowing them seeds in the fields of Athenry
Anybody seen Ashy
Burley Road Ashy
Portrait of evil
Devil’s island skull and bones
Moss don’t grow on rolling stones
Feels like I’m just a dream
In the mind of some deity
Watch out I may be lurking
I got my mojo working
Black snake moaning
Turn me loose set me free
Black snake moaning
I will make the crowd stampede
Man’s temptation woman’s worth
So lonesome I crawl the earth
Snake eyes hypnotise
They seduce dehumanise
Serpentine scream and shout
St Patrick cast me out
Black snake moaning
Venomous unwelcome guest
Black snake moaning
Cleopatra held me to her breast
Strange fruit hangman’s noose
There’s a killer on the loose
Cottonfields shed my skin
Splendour in the grass begin
Crossroads wait in lie
Robert Johnson’s soul to buy
Mr Jimi
Draw back the curtain
I want to see the wizard
Purple hearts purple haze
Fender strat goes up in flames
Seattle saint of latter days
Blaze the stage at Monterey
Voodoo zoo catch 22
You watching them they watching you
Along the tower they heard the score
To Mr Jimi’s Vietnam war
Make my grey skies blue
Psychedelic blues
Make my grey skies blue
Cherokee iconic
Airborne soul Jah ironic
Star spangled banner demonic
Barbiturate supersonic
Gangsters drugs dancing clubs
Tearing up the neighbourhoods
Spilling blood up to no good
Hey Mr Jimi tell me what I should do
Make my grey skies blue
Psychedelic blues
Make my grey skies blue
Woodstock farm Yasgurs place
Music peace for three days
Inside out distorted sound
Play guitar upside down
One more cup of coffee
Sugar on my spoon
Apparition of Hendrix in the room
Mr Jimi make my grey skies blue
Ghostly halos
When all that is left are ghostly halos
I will love you
There was only ever you
Only you can show me a way
Out of disarray
Lead me to the promised land
Only you can mix it up coalesce
Without you there is only loneliness
For a love that will not let me go
When all that is left are ghostly halos
I will love you
Never thought I’d be living in a world without you
Without you there is no light at the end of the world
Face the music make a future
Through the hard times stay together
For a love that will not let me go
When all that is left are ghostly halos
I will love you
Was it me who woke you from your sleep
That walked upon the waters of the deep
Then fade and go with the flow
Vapour trail ghostly halo
There she goes chasing rainbows
DJs play the clichés
Everybody leaves you in the end
Changes
Changes
Changes come
Changes come naturally
Steadfast and true
Making it thru
Knock and it will be opened
Seek and you will find
Ask and it will be given
Reading all the signs
Changes
Changes come
Changes come naturally
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
Come too far to end up losing you
River and streams
Ain’t nobody else can set me free flowing forever
Knock and it will be opened
Seek and you will find
Ask and it will be given
Reading all the signs
Through whatever life may throw
Never ending highs and lows
12th of never come and go
As above so below
Summer loving
Summer loving
Keeps me turned on
Makes my head spin
Window of hope mirror of light
The shattering of breaking glass
Splinters through our minds
Kick those heels in motion
Second that emotion
The wall of pain won’t break the chain
Until once more we are again
Kings of the mountains
Bygones and byes wherefore and why
We will remember you forever free spirit
Who lit up our lives
Wheels of steel keep turning
A flame forever burning
Love behold the open road
An old friend speaks of the grief for a rising star
Will you stay with me tonight
Make our move do what we should
Stay close together for the greater good
It could’ve been me it could’ve been you
Blame is the game and the winners are few
The light makers dancing on the streets
They follow you they follow me
Will you stay with me tonight
Reaching out to you baby now
If you were ever gonna say a prayer for me
Say it now
Time to live enjoy your life
Don’t have to die to be in paradise
A belief in the healing power of universal love
Left behind the place she knew
For her dream she did pursue
Why can’t you just be like everybody else
She travelled far across the sea
To sadness and uncertainty
Why can’t you just be like everybody else
Drinking wine breaking bread
She remembers a man who said
Why can’t you just be like everybody else
A lifetime of loyalty
A sister for adversity
Why can’t you just be like everybody else
The dispossessed she walked among
Made it up as she went along
Give it to the poor and follow me
Built a hospital infirmary
To aid the people’s recovery
Give it to the poor and follow me
The Queen she came personally
To present an MBE
Give it to the poor and follow me
For service to humanity
That echo through eternity
Give it to the poor and follow me
Universal love
Still that voice is calling
She began working in six villages training local people in preventative medicine and how to detect the first signs of disease but soon she was getting a lot of questions from curious officials who wondered who this woman was and what exactly she was doing there
So many people
This is not enough you can do more
A belief in the healing power of universal love
Love’s highs travel easy
Walking distance
(Phil Bradney / John Fallon)
Perchance to dream
Dream of holocaust
In the ornate hall of memory
Memory
White knuckles clench the past
Autumn leaves falling down
Zig zagging
Gracefully spiralling down
Autumn leaves falling
Zig zagging
Gracefully jaunting past
Reminisce reminisce
Four clicks back its walking distance
Four clicks back to Manston
Four clicks back its walking distance
Four clicks back to Smeaton
Four clicks back its walking distance
Four clicks back to grandma
Four clicks back its walking distance
Four clicks back to the womb
Reminisce reminisce
White knuckles they clench the past
The poetry of her face
Was creased and greased
Gutted and rutted
The cartwheels of her face
Were cracked and creased
Like a tapestry
