Who you are

You don’t need to buy me anything to please me

You don’t need to take me to any place that’s way too fancy

You don’t need that makeup it only hides your natural smile

Let your hair down baby, I just want to see it shine

And I love you for who you are not what you’ve got

And I love you for who you are not what you’ve got

So can we buy the cheapest wine?

Sit on the beach and we might find just what make us

Attracted to the simplest kind

I don’t care what dress you wear

Or what colour suits your hair

Lets get naked before we shower, lets kiss in the morning light

You don’t need to try too hard

Extraordinary

You feel like all eyes are on you

If you let them in, they will cut to the truth

You’re in your own world trying to impress everyone

To tell you the truth they’ve not noticed you

Don’t care, don’t care what people think

Your mind will be stronger than doubt

Believe, believe and you will see that extraordinary

So why do you care for what other people think

If it’s not your water it’s not for you to drink

What one says and what one thinks can be two different things

You must choose what you listen too

Your passion is turning into memory

Things are on hold while you worry

So close your eyes and do you thing

Butter

She feels like butter

Melting away by her own body heat

She feels like water

Sifting through holes made by her own teeth

She feels like a raincheck never been cashed

She feels like a hit song short of a catch

Her oven door is open but the latch seems to be broken

She needs a hit

A mix of self esteem and bliss

She needs a fix

A mix of self esteem and bliss

She feels kinda useless

Seemingly unaware of her talents

She feels like a treasure chest

Empty of all its contents

She needs a nice cupboard

To house all the goodies that have been boxed up

She needs a sensor light that turns on when she’s all messed up

Step up to the table and put an end to this fable

I think it’s time

To gather shoes and socks and take a hike

You and I

Can stay here and look up at the night

Surrender

When will you drop your arms

I am not about to fight

I come with a white flag

Any colour but the one you like

I have good intensions

They may come served on ice

I only want what’s right

Wont you be my girl tonight?

Surrender my lover

Surrender my friend

Surrender, won’t you be mine

I am not out to hurt

I don’t know the meaning of that word

Anyhow this is now

I forgive and I forget

Green eyed girl in my distance

You turn my sky so blue

I am not fond of resistance

The struggle it wears me down

What I Did

Listen up old friend while I try to make a mend

This wound hasn’t healed and it’s time that it’s revealed

Do you swear to be honest, I haven’t called for a contest

And this is what’s right and what went wrong

What I did I did

What is done is done

Who I am I am

I am just an ordinary man

Am I asking too much of you for forgiveness

This is a subject hard to touch for you because of closeness

This is something not to be proud, don’t say it too loud

And I have tried, many times to say I’m sorry

Don’t Take it Personally

Conversation I have dread for a week

A certain situation where I stutter my speech

Rehearsing from point form so I don’t forget what to say

This was only decided yesterday

You’re like a friend

You’re like family

Don’t take it personally

It was not my intention to hurt your feelings

Don’t take it personally

It wasn’t how it was meant to be

Pleasant sounds they were far from coming round

And your heart is sure to burn from what I am laying down

And what make it sour in this dark dark hour

Your like a friend

Your like family

Through the Eyes of Another

Once in a while you meet somebody new

That changes the way you see your own smile

I met a friend in bar we had a pint or two

He told where he was from and where he’d been to

We swapped our history, his seemed more in tune

I was captivated by, the story of his life

There’s always something that you want that you haven’t already got

When you hear some thing new you always want one too

But ain’t it funny how your own life

Looks better through the eyes of another

Ain’t it funny how your own life

Looks better through the eyes of another

He said he’d never met his mother

Or shaken his fathers hand

Adopted out at birth, a stranger to that man

This all seemed pretty normal just as my life is to me

Someone else’s life is always more interesting

Alysha Sky

A river flowed from my eyes today

When the girl I love told me straight

She said boy I love you, we get on well

And it came right from her heart

When it comes to lovin’ and intimacy

There’s just no attraction there

I have grown quite attached

And I think that she has too

Her words they hit me

So unexpected from left field

Out of the blue

So can we just try a resurrection?

And prop up this fallen down plan?

Alysha sky I’m your best friend

But I want to be your man

My threshold of hurt

Is usually on high

I thought my skin was thick

This one it got me

Where it’s thin and dry

Alysha sky what are you scared of

I’m not like the other guys

I’m not violent

I’m a happy drunk

And I don’t out man other men

I respect my dad

I’m grateful to my mother

And I don’t wish no other

The Child Within

There’s so much noise today

To distract you away

The quiet voice of a child

Is drowned inside

You take the time and you will see

Your originality

You find your thing and do it well

Don’t be washed by anything else

So put up your white flag the kid just wants to play

Don’t think it silly don’t judge yourself

You might just get your wealth

You’re destined to begin

When you listen to the child within

Take confidence and mix it well

With strength and will

This is your immunity

Against the eyes of jealousy

You must be strong to over come

The dips in the road your on

Cause it is long and it is rough

When you sing your own song

Some people tell you to go for the safe and secure thing

If I could convince you to take a risk

You might just get your wish

At The Time

I hit the road, around noon

About 5 hours to the show

The scenery made me think

And time seemed to pass so slow

I thought about what I could do

If I had my time again

And I could have said the wrong thing back then

And I may say bad again

I could have made the wrong choice back then

And I may choose bad again

But that’s ok I did the best I could

I felt that it was good at the time, at the time

Now each day at some pint

I like to think about my lesson learned

As long as I do the best I can

Nothin’ that I do right now is wrong

If I operate in the present

Everything I do right now is right

And I could still make a bad turn yet

Yes I’m sure that I will

And I could yet put my self in the red

And I probably will

That’s ok I’ll do the best I can

Again and again at the time, at the time

Endless Page

I sit here in my back yard

A cup of tea my third so far

I like to think and contemplate

The present the future and my fate

Deep questions are on my mind

Now I have the time to unwind

Certain things that I don’t know

Who I am and where I’ll go

And I haven’t worked it all out yet

And I don’t know if I will this lifetime

All I know is that I take each day

as a note on my endless page

I thought that I was well informed

Most people my age do

But I find that as I age

The questions longer each step that take

I talk to people that I respect

They say they haven’t worked out yet

So why this question of who are we?

Can we not just be?
