Not everything is perfect
Not every ring is gold
No diamond mounted necklace
Or silk sheets to unfold
No milli in the house safe
Or bullet proof Bugatti
No parties by the poolside
And side girls getting wet
My luck changed
When you came
You took it all
You let me fall
I’m no Roman Empire
Just a pair of hands to hire
Protect you from the bad guys
Protect you from yourself
Your body gaurd your lover man
Your special OB one
A lister, we missed ya
Pushin out the chest for ya
Buying land on demand
To build a crib or two
Million aire Bel air
Jet air got flair
Do you not, go to there
Shooting hoops she stoops
To take it outside the loop
The lines on times see the signs
Not in these Rhymes I got all mine
Incense got no sense
Just laughing at the romance
She comes for the weekend
All fun and all play
Never want her to get away
Say what do you say
Under neath the duvet
It’s Sunday our funday
Got in on a Monday
Been too long
Since we were strong
Standing in the line long
Where you going and where you from
Outside the town now
You don’t know what we grow
What we sow is good enough
To get ya mind blow
You know how it ends
Steel and iron
Where best friends
Get together to make amends
But the trigger was waiting round
Just a tough Explosive sound
Bang thud on the ground
Light fades dark falls
It’s cold now on the sidewalk
Outside it’s unfriendly, unsafe, unsound
Within these four walls I sit and look
At all the lonely people rushing, here, there and everywhere
Standing in line on shifting ground
We don’t know how to stay in
We don’t know how to play
We don’t know we have time
When life gets in the way
It’s a long wait on nothing
A never ending song
It’s a river like a mirror
A search for your King Kong
Yesterday’s newspapers
Are todays false news
It’s criminal how we don’t see
Into the beggars eyes
And we can’t sing together
And we can’t dance
Wear your favourite summer dress
We’ve only sweet romance
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to cause you pain
I was hurting myself
I couldn’t see the snow for the rain
Now I’m sing a sad song refrain
You get the picture you had it in your hand
Beauty in the eye of a TV screen
Don’t be camera shy
Was what you said
I can never forgive you
Now I can’t live with myself
I can never forgive
Wish I was someone else
Anger can be an energy
If you treat it like a friend
Your anger is my refugee
And I will have my revenge
Stone the crows
You’re just like Marlon Brando
A real wild one
Just like Marlon Brando
We might meet out on the street
And I will look you in the eye
I will not bow or crawl again
An unapologetic guy
Subconscious anger
Hidden hurt inside
I’m a man hanging on a ledge
With my fingertips
Hanging on
The words you said
Hit so hard
Like a punch right through
To my heart
Now I’m all shook up
A kick in the head
I’m just hanging on
Hanging on a ledge
It won’t be long
If someone says
I’m strong
I’m only hanging on
Bruised aggrieved battered bleeding
Crushed burned shook shot
All torn up damaged scarred busted up
Sore tender crumbled up
Is this how it’s gonna be
I thought we was over
All that childish stuff
It’s gone we can’t change things (go back)
Gotta move on
I got a little lost
Head up my ass
Couldn’t see ahead
Or the wood from the trees
Three to one and I’m the one
We got tired no desire in sight
We were the unbelievers
It’s good to clear the air
I shut myself off from the world
It’s different for me
Music is my first love
It’s a different life completely
I can’t get you out of my mind
Another Saturday hand in hand
Summer heat as we walk
To the beat of the street
Good, good feeling drinks at four
We’re wearing our new shoes and clothes
Everybody’s staring and we don’t care
We got our shades on head in the air
She’s looking at you in the mirror
I watch through the silver plate glass
See my reflection I’m standing beside her
How I wish I was in her class
Where’s she going now
To the Trafford centre
I’m going to
I can sense her
It’s heaving and it’s heavy tonight
Out with the usual crew
I see her in the corner of my eye
She’s watching me too it’s true
Sooner than later
We’ve got to get together
How soon is now
If it’s not forever
We’re walking down the street
Summer sun feel the heat
You and I together again
Checking out the …………..
Now we know it’s all the same
Feel the heat on the summer street
The sun blinding in our eyes
And the sky blue before us
It’s me and you together forever
incandescence, glow, blush
Fever, dog days, heat wave
Flame, blaze, sweat
Swelter, bask, smoke, boil
Burn, singe, pant, smoulder
Tropical, path, method, way,
Track, mode
It’s your time
To make a change
Get on up
It can get better
You’ve been watching
Making sense
Of everything
All the dreams in your world
I’ve dreamed too
And I’ve planned to make it better
Then the road
Slowed me down
Taking turns and some corners
Nothing lost and nothing gained
Just a track on life’s journey
I’m like a river full of stones
Sometimes I roll
Sometimes I turn
Then I glisten
Take the shape of
What’s in front what I’m missing
I can change would I want to
If I am free I am free
That’s a special place to be
And you are special
You are special to me
Don’t be tough on yourself
Let yourself be take it easy
Take it easy on yourself
Be kind and be gentle
Step it back
Slow it down
Sit and stare out of the window
Feel the sand on the beach
Sit and let the sun be warming
On your skin and on your face
Close your eyes and dream again
We take it apart
Just to put it back together
That feeling at the start
How everything’s forever
Building up each other
Gene by gene by gene
Complicated ideas
Only get in our way
Sometimes I think I’m clever
Then again I’m dreaming
Why am I so lost
In a woman’s reverence
Trying to be like Elvis
Tenderness a teddy bear
Return your love to sender
You know you did me wrong
Be good, love
Stand up, tall
Don’t turn, away
Let go, fear
Dance out, heartache
Embrace, the void
Don’t judge, defend
Believe in, someone
You can do anything
You want to do
If you just believe in you
So believe in you
Rest well, dream
Work out, swim
See beauty, photograph
Inhale, breathe
So good, sex
One touch, emotion
On fire, slow down
let go, ecstacy
