Ghosts
03:17

She was already a woman
By the time she was 17
All her dreams had fell out of her pockets
Taken by the Ghosts in the trees it seems
She took her whiskey with a little water
She took her water from the wishing well
And in her arms a baby she had carried
And in her eyes was a living hell
Oh oh oh oh I don’t think she’s gonna marry
Oh oh oh oh I don’t think he’s hauling home
He was far away across an ocean
He was setting by a foreign sun
And when they pulled his body from the river
He didn’t recognise anyone
Oh oh oh oh I don’t think she’s gonna marry
Oh oh oh oh I don’t think he’s hauling home
I don’t think he’s hauling home
She was already a woman
By the time she was 17
Then 80 years of Winters, Springs and Autumns
Lonesome wanders along that silver stream
Oh oh oh oh I don’t think she’s gonna marry
Oh oh oh oh I don’t think he’s hauling home
I don’t think he’s hauling
Oh oh oh oh I don’t think she’s gonna marry
Oh oh oh oh I don’t think he’s hauling home
I don’t think he’s hauling home

One True Love
02:55
|

So the page is read
And the rose is too
And the violets cry
As they always do
Will you come along
Will you come with me
With a one true love
That a heart can see
The one true love
That a heart may find
Is the one true love
One of a kind
The eyes and ears
They cannot find
The one true love
That a heart can bind
To a soul that’s true
Like a rivers wind
Like a cuckoos home
Like a Spanish wine
Where we all are
What we all do
The one true love
That we all knew
The one true love
That we all knew
The one true love
We all knew
So the page is red
And the rose is too
And the violets cry
As they always do
Where we all are
What we all do
The one true love
That we all knew
The one true love
That we all knew
The one true love

Ever Changing Skyline
04:29
|
|||
|
Silver and gold pave the ways
Down Bermondsey’s worn alleyways
It’s almost the same as a hallmarked Brighton lane
But so different in oh so many ways
Let me explain what I mean
Down an old Irish boreen
Dew on the heather
And the smell of wet leather
And all of those summers in between
The sheen of the river
Bombers flocks
The ghosts from the warehouse
And docks
The few and the many
Still picking up a penny
From obliterated yellow London stocks
Under the city we did laugh
Along the distilled canal path
A trolley on its head
Ambitions for the path instead
And its three wheels in the mud not moving fast
Ticking and a tocking takes it time
On the ever changing London skyline
Black veils of melancholy
Take an eye out open brolly
On the ever changing London skyline
Silver and gold pave the ways
The ghosts from the warehouse and docks
Ticking and a tocking takes it time
Three wheels in the mud not moving fast
On the ever changing London skyline
On the ever changing London skyline

Money Can Do
03:05

All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do
Except for teardrops in her jar
Accept her monthly moan
Hurt and hate are words too far
And never have a home
All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do
Lilly ladies lashes lie
Chilly breezes blow
Tattooed mothers warn their sons
It’s better they should know
All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do
Exit stage left exit limousine
The Laminates are in
They stand for hours to catch a nod
A wink, a kiss, a grin
All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do
Hurricane and Novocane
The Best Men at the Bar
Backdoors by the Alleyways
Is where they parked the car
All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do
Unsung Betty and Wrigley Finn
Are dancin’ nights away
In their sleep they’re millionaires
In some old fashioned way
All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do
All the things that money can do

When the lights change to amber
As your pedal hits the floor
And the blue lights that surround you
And you’re asking what the hell for
So if you want some answers
To your questions
You got lies
While the pain in her heart is beating louder
I can tell it by the welling in her eyes
Where we stood now stand houses
When they levelled all the land
On the half way hear a pin drop
On the Cold Blow Lane not one man stands
From the Vauxhall Tavern to the Deptford Broadway
All the lines on her face I don’t remember
Won’t you come and take me back down yesterday
Where we stood now stand houses
When they levelled all the land
On the half way hear a pin drop
On the Cold Blow Lane not one man stands
From the Vauxhall Tavern to the Deptford Broadway
All the lines on her face I don’t remember
Won’t you come and take me back down yesterday
From the Vauxhall Tavern to the Deptford Broadway
All the lines on her face I don’t remember
Won’t you come and take me back down yesterday
Won’t you come and take me back down yesterday
Won’t you come on take me back down
Come on take me back down
Come on take me back down yesterday

Meadow Daisies
03:25
|
|||
|
You’re my daisy in a meadow
I’m your ticket to Timbuktu
But your even numbered petals
Means that we won’t make it through
Without some compromise
Without some little lies
Without your shoes
I am nerves on first night curtain
In the wings you watch and know
You’re my council flat equivalent
Of Marilyn Monroe
Eyes from you
Smiles for me
From the balcony
The Fleet Street print their copy
Of all we say and do
They don’t know that you’re left handed
They don’t know that I am too
Smudge the page
All the rage
Tickety Boo
Bygones will be bygones
History’s feathers still in caps
A personal reminder
That we all drink from different taps
All the same
What’s in a name?
Bridge across the cracks
Bridge across the cracks
Bridge across the cracks

Damaged
03:07
|
|||
|
Help me I’m broken
I’m damaged, unravelled, undone
There’s rage in my brain
I’m in terrible pain
I’m damaged, unravelled, undone
Help me I’m floundering
The lark in the morning has flown
Dark side of the moon
And the man with the spoon
Unravels me gets me undone
I lay in my bed
There’s voices instead
Of where the dreams once belonged
Before came this wild
Was an innocent child
Undamaged, unravelled, undone
I lay in my bed
There’s voices instead
Of where the dreams once belonged
Before came this wild
Was an innocent child
Undamaged, unravelled, undone
Help me I’m broken
I’m damaged, unravelled, undone
There’s rage in my brain
I’m in terrible pain
I’m damaged unravelled undone
I’m damaged, unravelled, undone

I can remember my first ever glass of champagne
Can I remind you, what you’re doings insane
Once I was somebody’ s baby
And once a good little girl
The last pair of scissors has cut off the last of your curls
Every person disappears into thin air
Still all around you pretenders pretending they care
If I woke with you on the side of my bed
I wont be pretending, I’ll hold you closely instead
I just want to make you feel just like brand new
I want to be part of all of the things that you do
I just want to make you feel bright as a star
Oh I want to be a part of all of the things that you are
Sleep easy baby
I won’t let you walk on your own
I’m out of surprises
Everything’s over and done
Oh my pretty girl
Why aren’t you weeping at all
I’ll be your weakness
While you are keeping me strong
I just want to make you feel just like brand new
I want to be part of all of the things that you do
I just want to make you feel bright as a star
Oh I want to be a part of most of the things that you are
I just want to make you feel bright as a star
Oh I want to be a part of all of the things that you are

Yorkshire Grey

There’s a crowd on its way to the town tonight
The line is as far as you can see
They say there’s gonna be some blood shed alright
And that’s what everybody’s there to see
Well I don’t know his name
He is a stranger
A bricker from the Southside families
But he’s wide, tall handsome and amazing
And he’s paid to beat the bones right out of me
That’s alright with me
Cos I know you’re waiting by my door to keep me company
With the chances I’m taking for the money I’ll be making
Gonna be the last, gonna be the last chance, gonna be the last chance fight for me
So I hit him with the hammer anvil sidesweep
But it only got him down onto one knee
I hit him two times more
But he got up off the floor
I only made him angry
That’s alright with me
Cos I know you’re waiting by my door to keep me company
Cos the chances I’m taking for the money I’ll be making
It’s gonna be the last, gonna be the last chance, gonna be the last chance fight for me
Well I don’t recall a thing from this point after
I don’t recall my name who why or where
As the Yorkshire is no more
But still standing by my door
Another anniversary
That’s alright with me
Cos I know you’re waiting by my door to keep me company
Cos the chances I’m taking for the money I’ll be making
Gonna be the last, gonna be the last chance, gonna be the last chance fight for me
Yeah, gonna be the last chance fight for me

Down to the last drop of empty
Down to the last drop of some
When you start out in this world you’ve plenty
And when it’s gone you hope some more will come
Trains and Planes and a change of names
Can take you from this life
But if you’re asking me who you want to be
Can I politely decline
To influence with my tuppence
Your heart is but your own
Have you seen me Jim
Still on this limb
I’ve been here for evermore
Down to the last drop of empty
Down to the last drop of some
When you start out in this world you’ve plenty
And when it’s gone you hope some more will come
So sail away from yesterday
Towards tomorrows light
Steer her strong and you can’t go wrong
To horizons out of sight
Be the man you know you can
And you’ll always be alright
And when the race is run
And the troubles come
You’ll be ready for the fight
Down to the last drop of empty
Down to the last drop of some
When you start out in this world you’ve plenty
And when it’s gone you hope some more will come
Down to the last drop of empty
Down to the last drop of some
When you start out in this world you’ve plenty
And when it’s gone you hope some more will come
And when it’s gone you hope some more will come
