That Longing 04:44
lyrics
buy track
After a while all cities Seem to blend into one Miles of glassy canyons That have me reflecting upon How many days must I Be here alone Til finally I return To where I belong Time through my fingers Grasping dry sand Must leave to live it seems Get things back in hand Gone from my sight But here I still stand More than water The Severn bridges span I made so many mistakes This I know But I never thought I'd make That many in a row I made so many mistakes This I know But I never thought I'd make That many in a row It seems all my days My mind keeps this picture pure Greens and rugged greys Shade and light the lure Rolling hills and the moorland sweeps Space to taste the cure Meet the right kind of eyes That I know for sure Meet the right kind of eyes That I know for sure I made so many mistakes This I know But I never thought I'd make That many in a row I made so many mistakes This I know But I never thought I'd make That many in a row That many in a row That many in a row

Lead Me Down 03:25

Lead me down, lead me down Where I wanna go Gimme keys to the city And all I need, all I need to know Lead me down, lead me down Ramshackled lanes Over crests and hollows Traveler man again Don't mind the holes in my shoes I'm just some pilgrim passing through When day is done, heaven shows Fire smoke rising slow It's got nowhere it needs to blow It's got nowhere to be I've gotta feather in my cap That's just the way I roll I'm like some sugar buddha In an ancient Chinese scroll Small stars guide my way All's well at the end of the day When day is done, heaven shows Fire smoke rising slow It's got nowhere it needs to blow It's got nowhere to be Lead me down, lead me down Where I wanna go Gimme keys to the city And all I need, all I need to know Give me all I need to know I've got all I need When day is done, heaven shows Fire smoke rising slow It's got nowhere it needs to blow It's got nowhere to be Lead me down, lead me down Where I wanna go Lead me down, lead me down Where I wanna go Lead me down, lead me down Where I wanna go

Mellowing Mind 03:57
lyrics
buy track
Got something going mellowing my mind Against the grain it seems, had to draw the line Make it up on the fly, tie-in loose ends Giving it somewhere to roam freely again Mellowing mind, now as before Don't seem very much sense in these times anymore Speaking in colours, losing the strain How it used to be, back again I'm speaking in colours, I'm losing the strain How it used to be, back again Hollow time, I'm so out of touch Follow lines down less travelled roads Gets to the point, enough's enough Moving times are mellow gold Got something going mellowing my mind Against the grain it seems, had to draw the line Mellowing mind, an age to see It makes things sooner than later for me It makes things sooner than later for me It makes things sooner than later for me

Dirt Music 03:58
lyrics

These red earth days Pull me asunder All just a daze But I'm keeping time Fuel gauge ain't working Don't help my state of mind Fuel gauge ain't working Don't help my state of mind There's a lonely filling station Under a dome of light Sliders, flyers, hungry Creatures so strange Coke machine is working Just not giving change Got dirt music Coming out, I've set the dusty dial Got dirt music Coming out and lying under The rhythm of the miles Got dirt music Coming out, I've set the dusty dial Got dirt music Coming out and lying under The rhythm of the miles Markers in the road Songlines in dust I'm closer to nowhere Than I've ever been Road train is passing As if in a dream These red earth days Pull me asunder All just a daze But I'm keeping time Fuel gauge ain't working Don't help my state of mind Got dirt music Coming out, I've set the dusty dial Got dirt music Coming out and lying under The rhythm of the miles Got dirt music I've set the dusty dial Got dirt music Coming out and lying under Coming out and lying under The rhythm of the miles

Lemongrass 04:07
lyrics
buy track
Crowded by people stale as their jokes Ages the heart just like drink and smoke Feel as ancient as an English, an English oak On mornings as cold as a raven's croak I must admit I sure do miss my hair Hippie mop, now there's nothing there I'm old and I'm restless and full of cares That nobody has got time to share So sick of the road that takes me I can't let it roll off my back Lemongrass soup on a city street Out of place in this moving boutique That's more like a gloomy glitz with a madcap, a madcap beat Blending every colour in a fuzzy heap Blending every colour in a fuzzy heap So sick of the road that takes me I can't let it roll off my back So sick of the road that takes me I can't let it roll off my back Silver-heeled winds close the day I think I've run out of things to say

Long Road 03:41
lyrics

It's a long road far out and away Saturn rings Another patch on your faded jeans appeared today Geometric patterns ring Throwing up straws to the wind Well ain't that always how this begins It's a long road Waylaid on some fool parade No can do The hours ahead were always yours to make Muddling through Never needed anything that much Arranged around this obvious pulse Waylaid Waylaid What to believe What to believe for sure I just don't know anymore It's a long road It's a long road far out and away Saturn rings Another patch on your faded jeans appeared today Geometric patterns ring Throwing up straws to the wind Well ain't that always how this begins It's a long road It's a long road It's a long road It's long

Caution Overload 03:45
lyrics

These mixed up times, plain crazy Messin' my mind, bad news TV Should know, should know better I know the way it rolls All know caution overload So crooked smiles, a merry dance To beguile into a trance Should know, should know better I know the way it rolls All know caution overload Should know, should know better All know caution overload Should know, should know better I know the way it rolls All know caution overload Ministries of misinformation Station to distant station All across the crazy nation All tune in, all tune in to drop out When truth deserts only means A shadow play behind the screens Should know, should know better I know the way it rolls All know caution overload Should know, should know better All know caution overload Should know, should know better I know the way it rolls All know caution overload All know caution overload All know caution overload

Solid Out Of Here 03:22
lyrics

Oh it's on like Donkey Kong Hold on tight, hold on it's a bumpy ride At time things may go a little wayward But stay up close to my side We play in blocks of colour We play it all by ear All night keep that picture We're solid out of here Oh it's on like Donkey Kong Hold on tight, hold on it's a bumpy ride Gotta dream then let it show I've got as many as the sweet stars above It's a kung fu life as I've come to know it But nothing, no nothing, no nothing to be fearful of We play in blocks of colour Who knows what will appear I've got space for you to room in We're solid out of here Gotta dream then let it show I've got as many as the sweet stars above We play in blocks of colour Who knows what will appear I've got space for you to room in We're solid out of here Solid out of here I've got space for you to room in We're solid out of here Solid out of here Solid out of here Solid out of here

I Get To Feelin' So Good 04:40
lyrics

Celluloid river world Rolls on busted bird That stayed too long A little out of tune Blind alleys, jack knifed Strike a deal with the quiet life All that moon In June I get to feelin' so good I get to feelin' so good Taking liberties, find the core Sweet solitude, sooner more Come on go WIth the flow Glass eyes, prozac dreams Make up stuff, what does it mean? But that's the show I know I get to feelin' so good I get to feelin' so good I get to feelin' so good I get to feelin' so good And maybe, maybe, oh maybe, maybe I just might Celluloid river world Rolls on busted bird That stayed too long A little out of tune Blind alleys, jack knifed Strike a deal with the quiet life All that moon In June All that moon In June All that moon In June I get to feelin' so good I get to feelin' so good I get to feelin' so good I get to feelin' so good So good

Stop Fishin' 02:49
lyrics

Tied up in knots Houdini, I'm not Tight as the skin on a drum Things put on hold Slowing the roll Waiting for dreams to come No good trying to push 'em That ship has left the dock So give me some time Stop throwing me lines Stop fishin', that's all I've got I turn on a dime Up the creek in my mind Overthinking most everything I realise Where my fault lies But that don't change a thing Stepping into other people's stories Whenever I hear the knock Runaway kind This way of mine Stop fishin', that's all I've got Stepping into other people's stories Whenever I hear the knock Runaway kind This way of mine Stop fishin', that's all I've got Runaway kind This way of mine Stop fishin', that's all I've got
