Little distant
Little distant, where did he go?
Stay too long, who would know.
Realise that you got to change,
Time tends to rearrange.
He’s been trying, just not too much,
thinking straight, getting in touch
do something better for sure,
next weeks, been said before.
Little distant, distorted reality
Makes much sense, look at that family tree
know that it’s time to sort it out
best not to mess about.
Makes the effort, picks up his phone,
friend gets the message, friend knows the tone.
Doing something better for sure,
living for something more.
Put through the ringer more than once,
hiding in vile places gives you transference
All the many things that led to this point,
emotions fragment, people disappoint.
Little distant, cough it all up
won’t need to know, which way is up
He took the road back to us,
time to think, time to discuss.
Found them grateful, happy as clams
fixed himself up, followed programs.
Did something better for sure,
don’t forget my open door.
Don’t matter
I ain’t got no career to fulfil me
I am got no dam success
But I got the things I think matter
I don’t need to be like the rest.
Chorus. It don’t matter because I don’t need it
It don’t matter much to me at all
I won’t be no social puppet
I can’t follow that protocol
People tell me there’s things I am needing
Put in the hours and you’ll have Gems
but I just can’t donate my lifetime
Accumulating for the sake of them
Chorus. It don’t matter because I don’t need it
It don’t matter much to me at all
I won’t be no social puppet
I can’t follow that protocol
.
The less they know the stronger the opinions, easy to hold if you skip the facts.
Maybe I’m bent a little too often, but what’s life if you can’t relax
So I put in my best offer
Lodge it with the authority
I won’t be sad if you don’t get it
Majority ain’t my priority at all
Chorus. It don’t matter because I don’t need it
It don’t matter much to me at all
I won’t be no social puppet
I can’t follow that protocol
We all get sent our own mail
How are you answer it is up to you
If I keep my head above water
I’ve got more chance to get through
Chorus. It don’t matter because I don’t need it
It don’t matter much to me at all
I won’t be no social puppet
I can’t follow that protocol
The less they know the stronger the opinions, easy to hold if you skip the facts.
Maybe I’m bent a little too often, but what’s life if you can’t relax
Chorus
Coming home
Sun is shining, it’s a windy day
Feel half empty, when she’s gone away
She’ll be back, at the end of today
Coming home to us
Product better than the sum of its parts
Giving more than just a piece of your heart
Less of craft and more of an art
Coming home to us
Coming home to us, without doubt the high tide of my day
Coming home to us, dropping in through the companionway
Coming home to us
Solving problems, talking things out
People talking, got no need to shout
Being together, we won’t go without
Coming home to us
Packed most baggag left from the past
Hindsight’s rosy, if it stays unsurpassed
Looking back it was mostly overcast
Coming home to us
Coming home to us, without doubt the high tide of my day
Coming home to us, dropping in through the companionway
Coming home to us
She’ll be home soon and I just can’t wait
Swinging clang of an opening gate
Happy story it is to narrate
Coming home to us
Kind of joy that’s hard to contain
Look inside but still can’t explain
Living without would seem inhumane
Coming home to us
Coming home to us, without doubt the high tide of my day
Coming home to us, dropping in through the companionway
Coming home to us
Professor and Tiki Davey
Got some friends, bad part of town
Kind of cats, that don’t fool around
Quick to the gun, Cavalier with knives
Do their drinking in those nasty dives
You can say what you want
Boys don’t care they wouldn’t taunt
High old times with the Professor
Tiki Davey, never better
Getting bored, life‘s too quick
No times done, if it don’t stick
Weigh the reasons, not to go
Life‘s less quick if you’re moving slow
You can say what you want
Boys don’t care they wouldn’t taunt
High old times with the Professor
Tiki Davey, never better.
Illegality, a state of mind
Always looking for an angle of some kind
Got a move quick and be resigned
Train yourself to be a mastermind
You can say what you want
Boys don’t care they wouldn’t taunt
High old times with the Professor
Tiki Davey, never better.
Keep your gun somewhere handy
Avoid the heat and dodge those vigilantes
Life of crime ain’t cotton candy
leave no witness, modus operandi
You can say what you want
Boys don’t care they wouldn’t taunt
High old times with the Professor
Tiki Davey, never better.
Picture on the wall
She didn’t like to be alone too long
Something I tried to never do
Only asked her to spend her time with me
Not saying anything new
Though I tried to find the time
Not as easy as it seems
Dedicate my time to rhyme
And the hardline that it deems
Became a picture on the wall, left saying she seen my fall
Never took the time to find out what’s on her mind
All forms a sad story, tale of loss and of woe
Can’t say that I blame her, something I think she should know
Heard she’d run out of patience
While I burnt all our time
Burning bridges from both ends
Hiding in a bottle of wine
Hazy mist descends on me
As I dig around our past
How long is forever?
How long did we last?
Became a picture on the wall, left saying she seen my fall
Never took the time to find out what’s on her mind
All forms a sad story, tale of loss and of woe
Can’t say that I blame her, something I think she should know
I things get messy when you bet with your heart
Should’ve known it was doomed from the start
I feed myself a steady diet of lies
What my heart wants is what you despise
Became a picture on the wall, left saying she seen my fall
Never took the time to find out what’s on her mind
All forms a sad story, tale of loss and of woe
Can’t say that I blame her, something I think she should know
Hollow feeling now she’s gone
World is Ashes all tastes burnt
My focus was misplaced
Think by now I’d learn
Too late to speak the truth
Or whatever else that is
Time to go along my way
Forget the analysis
Became a picture on the wall, left saying she seen my fall
Never took the time to find out what’s on her mind
All forms a sad story, tale of loss and of woe
Can’t say that I blame her, something I think she should know
Going out that Door.
She said what bought you, go on ride it back
Smells of hard liquor and Nymphomaniac
Can’t see the reason or the what for,
Going out that door.
Flag down false prophets, to catch a lift
He said so sorry, life became adrift
Can’t see the reason or the what for,
Going out that door.
Walking around aimless, is mighty hard work
Realities twisted, your face in a smirk
Can’t see the reason or the what for,
Going out that door
Spend your day times bent, nightlife all wonky
If Karmas misspent, life is lived wrongly
Can’t see the reason or the what for,
Going out that door.
Knowledge is useless, Guru said to you
These things you talk of, must never come true
Can’t see the reason or the what for,
Going out that door.
Not every rainbow, hides a pot of gold
Same as the summer’s got days that are cold
Can’t see the reason or the what for,
Going out that door.
Are you ship with no anchor, can’t stay very long
Out on the sea, is where she belongs
Can’t see the reason or the what for,
Going out that door.
Good deed
Better experience never stopped him trying
Although he knew what was to come
Circled by beggars that were lying
He do his best to help each one.
Always room at his table
When the people came around
Latitude for the unstable
Let it go and never hand
No good deed goes unpunished,
The professor said to me
No good deed goes unpunished
Don’t make no sense to me
Helping out always cost him
Often ending up in pain
Rarely did conviction grow dim
Or overpowered by his brain
Though constantly disappointed
Refused to let them make his mind
Keep living the way he wanted
Let the past fall way behind
No good deed goes unpunished,
The professor said to me
No good deed goes unpunished
Don’t make no sense to me
Yes I’m proud to call him my friend
A man who lives by his rules
Please don’t go mistake him
Or try to take him for a fool
No good deed goes unpunished,
The professor said to me
No good deed goes unpunished
Sadly how it seems to be.
Never Found
Didn’t see it coming all arrived so quick
Felt my heart rumble thought I was seasick
Never found what I was looking for, found love to stick
didn’t see it coming....
Someone who cares for me,
the one I adore.
Someone who loves me for me,
makes the real me much more
Sit here awaiting her return, stuck in my old ways
Some times past quickly, times it feels like days
Never found what I was looking for, to quote a phrase
Sit here awaiting...
Someone who cares for me,
the one I adore.
Someone who loves me for me,
makes the real me much more.
Find myself doing things, trying to show I care
Swam against the tide of life, pantries a bit bare
Never found what I was looking for, found something rare
Find myself doing...
Someone who cares for me,
the one I adore.
Someone who loves me for me,
makes the real me much more
Lying there half awake, listening to her breathe
Not sure I deserve such love, ‘pends what you believe
Never found what I was looking for, more than I perceive
Lying there half awake....
Someone who cares for me,
the one I adore.
Someone who loves me for me,
makes the real me much more
