Beschreibung

This is my first attempt at writing a book like this but the 4th I have published. This book reflects the things I see, hear and at times just think. Most of all the lyrics written in this and previous books are hardly changed from the original text. I write lyrics very quickly once I have an idea, usually no more than 10 - 15 minutes. I have many influences musically and enjoy songwriters that tell a story, such as Bono(U2), Lennon, Dylan, Bowie and many others. I do not profess to anywhere near their league in fact a million miles away from them. I write to release myself from the everyday crap that goes on in the world and as a sense of peace to myself. This book is rather dark and naïve in its content and I was apprehensive whether to publish, but if you don't try, you don't know! So please enjoy.

3 lilies for her king

She sat one amongst a crowd,

Waiting for her chance to come,

In her hand 3 lilies grow,

A gift, for her chosen one,

The sun was hot, the hours passed,

Her children shaded under trees,

But she waited, 3 lilies in her hand,

She waited on her knees,

The crowd erupted, cheers filled the sky,

His car stopped, he waved and smiled,

Her aging heart beat like a Childs,

In her hand 3 lilies grow,

3 lilies, were her gift to him,

3 lilies for her king,

100 years, just for this time,

3 lilies for her king,

Her time came, she took her chance,

She reached her sun burnt arms out to him,

He took her hands and with silent words,

Her life was so complete,

CHORUS

A picture taken, a photograph,

A moment in time,

That will forever last,

A picture taken,

A moment in time,

A memory that has never died,

3 lilies for her king

CHORUS

A song for Rasi

In this small town,

There always lives a smile,

In this warm town,

The love they give is mine,

In this small town,

I can see your face,

In this warm town,

I have found my place,

In this small town,

There always lives a smile,

In this small town,

You will always find a friend,

In this warm town,

There’ll fight until the end,

In this small town,

You’ll always find,

In this warm town,

They will treat you right,

In this small town,

There always lives a smile,

Small town, small town,

I don’t want to leave,

Small town, small town,

Won’t you keep me please?

Small town, small town,

In this small town,

There beats a giant heart,

In this warm town,

It’s so easy to become a part,

In this small town,

They will take your hand,

In this warm town,

I can be a man,

In this small town,

There always lives a smile,

In this small town,

There always lives a smile,

In this warm town,

The love they give is mine,

CHORUS

Afar

I traced the lines that adorned her face,

I watched her fill every room with grace,

I watched her from afar,

I counted the steps she would take,

I watched her movements,

Fall into place,

But I always watched her from afar,

There’s a distance I cannot bridge,

There’s a hope I dare not wish,

She’s a place I cannot live,

I’ll watch her from afar,

I watched her hair, sail with the wind,

I watched her smile, come from within,

I watched her from afar,

Elegant, sophisticated,

Easy on the eye, but so complicated,

I watch her from afar,

CHORUS

Skin like silk, eyes so warm,

Body so tight, it makes me burn,

I watched her from afar,

Hair so long as dark as coal,

A smile so bright,

It lights the darkest soul,

I watched her from afar,

CHORUS

She is every man’s dream,

She is every man’s fantasy,

She is so out of reach,

That we watch her from afar,

CHORUS

All because of you

I’m electrified and mystified,

My brains on overload,

It’s committing suicide,

And it’s all because of you,

My hands they shake,

My body aches,

Get me to a doctor,

Before it’s too late,

It’s all because of you,

Can’t sleep at night,

Can’t work all day,

The thought of you,

Stops my day,

My heart it beats,

Like a runaway train,

And it’s all because of you,

It’s all because of you,

Because of you,

I cannot sleep.

Because of you,

My bodies weak,

Because of you,

I just can’t speak,

It’s all because of you,

It’s all because of you,

I’m tired, wired to the national grid,

I’m all hooked up,

But I’m not plugged in,

I’m about to explode,

So cover me,

And it’s all because of you,

It’s all because of you,

CHORUS

I’m lying, crying,

Swimming in my own tears,

I’m walking, talking,

I’m living my own fears,

Never been so emotional,

In all of these years,

And it’s all because of you,

It’s all because of you,

All I want is you

These wounds ain’t healing,

These scars they run deep,

My eyes are closed,

But still I can’t sleep,

I see so many people,

Who I just don’t want to meet,

All I want is you?

This bed so big,

One big empty space,

My arms so helpless,

My mind lost in the haze,

I control my emotions,

There lost in my grace,

All I want is you,

All I want, is too hold you,

All I want is you home once again,

I don’t need the company of strangers,

I don’t need the sympathy,

Of well wishing friends,

All I want is you,

My soul is crying,

I feel the rage,

I’m an open book,

On an empty page,

My tears are falling,

My face they stain,

All I want is you,

CHORUS

All I want is to hold you,

All I want is you

Am I a friend to you?

Your on, your off,

You never seem,

To want to talk,

Your green lights on,

I see your name,

I wait to hear,

I wait in vain,

Am I really a friend to you?

I see your face,

I love your smile,

You pass me by,

And I wonder why,

I’m not a friend to you,

Tell me, tell me,

What should I do?

Help me, help me?

What can I do?

What can I do?

To be a friend to you,

Are you afraid?

What do you fear?

I’m just a man,

I’m just a friend for you,

Do you see?

Do you hear?

Do listen, to what’s not there?

Are you afraid?

Can you not say?

Do you like to hide?

Look, the other way,

Am I a friend to you?

CHORUS

So hide behind,

Your green light,

I won’t disturb you,

Darken your night,

I won’t push that button,

Say ‘hello’

When you’re ready,

Just let me know,

I’ll be a friend for you,

Am I a stalker?

She, she doesn’t want to know,

She, she doesn’t want to talk,

She, she doesn’t answer her messages,

I think somehow,

I’m at fault,

Don’t think she remembers my name,

Or what shirt I had to wear,

Don’t think she really notices me,

Don’t think she really even cares,

Was I,

One dinner date, too many

Did I really over react,

Did I see a pound instead of a penny?

Am I that out of touch?

Am I a stalker?

Am I a stalker?

Because I want to talk to her,

Am I a pain?

Am I a pain?

Because I do it again and again,

Before that night,

Things were so good,

So right,

A smile, a wave,

And the occasional word,

We’d say,

Since that night,

It’s all gone, south,

If I pass, she looks away,

Even the bear,

Can’t save the day,

And the words,

I gave her to say,

Am I a stalker?

Am I a stalker?

Because I want to talk to her,

Am I a pain?

Am I a pain?

Because I do it again and again,

Am I a stalker?

Am I a stalker?

Am I a pain?

Am I a pain?

Anymore

I’m pushing through an open door,

Lost in thoughts I’ve had before,

They never leave,

I’m broken by the memories,

Of all what’s gone ahead of me,

Now I don’t know what,

To think anymore,

No I don’t know what to think anymore,

I’m charged with being wrong,

But I’ve known the truth all along,

And I don’t need,

To be told anymore,

No I don’t need to be told anymore,

I believe, I deceive,

I reach out to only me,

No I don’t know what to think anymore

No I don’t need to be told anymore,

I’m pushing through a crowded room,

Like new born baby from its mothers womb,

And I sometimes don’t like what I see,

I analyze what’s all around,

I read the words,

I don’t hear the sounds,

Now I don’t know what,

To think anymore,

No I don’t know what to think anymore,

I arrested by a silent few,

And freed by all, that I knew,

And I don’t need,

To be told anymore,

No I don’t need to be told anymore,

CHORUS x2

No I don’t know what to think anymore

No I don’t need to be told anymore,

No I don’t know what to think anymore

No I don’t need to be told anymore,

No I don’t know what to think anymore

No I don’t need to be told anymore,

Anymore

Belief

Some people say, I should relent,

Cleanse my soul and repent,

Read the book of history,

But religion ain’t what I seek,

People laugh because I wear the cross.

But on me that values lost,

I wear it as an accessory,

I believe in my belief,

Now! Just because you kneel and pray,

Don’t mean, I have to go that way,

What we do and what we choose,

Will make no difference, when we lose,

The battle, no man can win,

Whether, pure and righteous or full of sin,

You believe in what you seek,

I’ll believe in my belief,

My belief is what I see,

My belief is what I believe,

My belief is what I choose,

My belief is what I do,

I believe in my belief,

Now don’t get me wrong, I won’t crticise,

In your belief and what’s in your mind,

You seek solace in your book,

I’ll seek mine where I look

My religion is what I see,

My belief is my reality,

I don’t have to bare a cross,

Or put my soul up for rebirth,

No virgins will come and comfort me,

Only I can have this belief,

Only I can believe,

CHORUS

Some people say, I should relent,

Cleanse my soul and repent,

Read the book of history,

But religion ain’t what I seek,

People laugh because I wear the cross.

But on me that values lost,

I wear it as an accessory,

I believe in my belief,
