Light Bulb - Dark Times
03:21

|||
You can’t hide from the feelings that you hold inside and you can’t seem to wake up from this bad dream.
When all the things that you once took for granted, everything on which you depend,
Suddenly all gone away leaving you stranded, waiting for this nightmare to end.
Will things be the same again?
We’re in some dark times but we’ll make it to the dawn and then the soft light will come creeping,
slowly warming up the cold night air, a bright new morning will arrive.
I can’t sleep on this bed of nails anxiety. Can’t believe what I’m seeing right in front of me.
Storms will pass and this won’t last forever, hold on tight for a brighter day.
We can do this, get through this together, ‘till then we’ll just hope and pray.
One day we’ll look back and say:
Been through some dark times but we made it to the dawn and then the soft light came creeping,
slowly warming up the cold night air, a bright new morning will arrive.
Oh we’re in dark times but well make it to the dawn and then the soft light will come creeping,
slowly warming up the cold night air, a bright new morning will arrive, arrive.
And in our darkest hour, when we were torn apart the distance only drew us closer in our loving hearts.
The greatest lesson learned, about what matters most and all the love that burned inside us gave us hope.
We’re in some dark times but we’ll make it to the morning.

It’s been a long while since I held your hand,
And there are many miles between us.
Distances narrow with each new day
And I just can’t wait to see you!
Half a world away, South Pacific isle,
Ki’ora, morina, we meet again,
Tika, ar noa por noa.
(A-oh-tee-a-row-a...)
Leaving my heartland so far away, leaving my fears behind me (oh),
Follow a path through the starlit sky, beautiful planet before me.
Landing as dawn brings a cool new morn, setting our feet on the dear earth,
Ev’rything’s different but just the same, A-oh-tee-a-row-a home.
Ehara ee te ti, your moanga waits for you.
Walking the steps of the ancestors,
Tika my beloved farno.
It’s been a long while since I held your hand,
And there are many miles between us.
Distances narrow with each new day
And I just can’t wait to see you!
And I just can’t wait to see you/ land of the long white cloud ...(to fade)
The words in the song are written phonetically, so:
Ki’ora =Kia ora = hello/goodbye/thank you.
Morina = morena = good morning.
Tika = doing things right the Maori way.
Ar noa por noa = ar noa pō noa = 24/7
Ehara ee te ti = ehara it e ti = you only live once; don’t be like a cabbage tree that grows super straight.
Moanga = maunga = mountain.
Farno = whanau = family/to be born.
A-oh-tee-a-row-a = Aotearoa = land of the long white cloud (New Zealand).

Feeling lucky, never sure what about
Feeling hazy, and I can’t make it out.
I know I love her and I know that she has gone. I’m so sorry, I did it all wrong.
Feeling hopeful, not sure where to go. Feeling special, but what the hell do I know? I’m not taken out, I have my own hand.
I’m not breaking out, I took the wrong stand.
It’s not cold yet. I’m still learning. I’m still bearing the Flame.
I’m not old yet. I’m still yearning. My skin still bears your name.
Through darkened skies, your words ever ring, The stars do not cry, they sing.
The world’s turning, yet laying in rust. Wild fires they wrestle in the dust. Empire’s falling, you see it in her eyes. A Generation - suckling on a lie.
Feeling lighter as I let her go,
Feeling stronger the less I know.
I know I’m free-er now, as the curfew falls. Where we go one we go all.

I have been living in a
Disease machine
I have been tortured
Broken and beaten
She said to me
Inject me with your
Offspring ‘cause
It’s only a disease machine
HEY
YOU
LOVE ME
X2
Devour me with your
Pretty eyes
I was unconscious and
Out of sight but
Here we are
Frail and fragile ‘cause
It’s only a disease machine
HEY
YOU
LOVE ME
X2
HEY
YOU
DISEASE MACHINE

‘Better days gonna come’
Mary down the street she works three jobs to make a living
Never has the time to count the blessings that she’s given
The tears she cries she keeps those tears hidden
Shouts and bawls at her kids and wishes that she didn’t
Her daughter Rosie she gets bullied when she’s at school
Knows what it’s like to live with the pain of ridicule
Things they say the things they do they’re merciless and cruel
But she won’t tell her teachers ‘cause she thinks they’re all fools
Better days gonna come
Carl down the pub he’s real handy with his fists
Gets messed up when he thinks about the childhood that he missed
Never felt the warmth of love Can’t remember his mother’s kiss
Got scars on his soul just like the scars on his wrists
He gets real down sometimes
Spends days on end in bed
Gets pills off the doctor to make him right in the head
No amount of talking no blister packs of meds
Can stop him from believing sometimes he’d be better off dead
Better days gonna come
Yeah yeah yeah
Better must come for each and everyone
Better days got to come
There’s a guy called Marcus thought god was on his side
On his bike to meet some friends he met when he went to pride
Got some trouble from some kids didn’t know they carried knives
But they cut him and they run Didn’t care if he lived or died
Better days gonna come
Violence and hatred on my television screen
Brothers and sisters homeless in days like these
Brothers and sisters fighting Makes you want to cry
Makes you want to scream out loud for days like these
Will better days ever come…..

I want
To be free of the restraints
We’re all living in fear
And it’s starting to inflate
Our emotions are in bits
Don’t know the half of it
Because,
I hide behind the mask
It’s the sickness
We don’t wanna talk about
But it’s all we hear
Looking over my shoulder
Pull my loved one closer
Wishing I could her
As the night draws near
I can be stronger for us
This is beyond me
This is beyond you
All of us
I want
To be free of the restraints
Like a ghost town over here
Get inside before it’s late
Our emotions are in bits
Don’t know the half of it
Because,
I hide behind the mask
This is for a greater cause
Something bigger than me
Something further than I can see
I will never need applause
This is something bigger than me
I can be stronger for us
This is beyond me
This is beyond you
All of us
Now I want
To be free of the restraints
We’re all living in fear
And it’s starting to inflate
Our emotions are in bits
Don’t know the half of it
Because,
I hide behind the mask
Because I hide the mask
But I will gladly wear that mask.

I know, things heal after, suffering,
Hunger, has given me an urge, to start again,
We are all alive,
Do what it takes to live our lives,
We will all survive,
But are you satisfied,
Chances, are always gifted down, from the gods,
Daring, to go all the way, in laughter,
We are all alive,
Do what it takes to live our lives,
We will all survive,
But are you satisfied,
Bridge
Hold on nothing left to break, do or die, not a thing at stake,
Hold on we’re chasing something real, this could be, the route to our outbreak,
We are all alive,
Do what it takes to live our lives,
We will all survive,
But are you satisfied,
Will we make it,
I can’t take it,
all of this anticipation,
I’m losing my head there’s no control

Dealing with these lean facts
Running like diseased rats
Like everything I sees flat
B natural to appease that
A word to the wise You'll learn to despise
The worst of the times as it burns in your eyes
Lurks in the cries of the earth's slow demise
Churns coincides with the girth of the lies
Can't sleep for the blue light
Can't write or make my tunes right
Enlightened by the news sites
Chatting all the truth right
If your hearts on your sleeve then my guts are on the pavement
Let the art be deceased dead try and make a statement
Marked by the beast triple crossing double agents
The barking release of the wanderers elation
Venomous menaces with intelligence deficits
Felling the fellowships for indelible benefits
Conceited elitists seeking the bleakest
Beating the weakest leeching defeatists
Tonne of feathers tonne of bricks
Tonne of shit to swallow quick
Summon guts to make it stick
Tonne of shit to swallow quick
The mirrors looking gaunt with the visions that'll taunt
Sinners looking scorned face division from the horns
Still were getting bought played patient little pawns
Lizards living Broad like lizzies loving spawn
can’t seem to find a balance
Getting battered by the talons
Of an ever waging never fading
Contemplation battle
Allegedly I’m the enemy
defending all these tendencies
Contending with complexities
That are made to please necessities
If they could see the vacancy
They might just stop degrading me
It’s blatantly a basic scheme to keep people deflated see
Either fighting to thrive or were fighting to survive
Strive to stay alive like we're wearing a disguise
Cut all ties compromise initialise a Web of cries
Utilise the idle minds the future dies with mimic mines

We’ve got, to get through this together in our minds Open our eyes together and we will be strong
Like a wave like a wave that can shield the heat Like a tide that divides us before we meet Waiting for love to finally linger
waiting for blood to lead us into
Days come undone, won’t save tomorrow
(like a wave, like a wave it’s the way we will save, our lives unsung won’t save our sorrow
(like a wave, like a wave it’s the way we will save,
It’s not, a wound that can be seen with only sight Open our minds together and we will be strong
Like a wave like a wave that can shield the heat Like a tide that divides us before we meet Waiting for love to finally linger
waiting for blood to lead us into
Days come undone, won’t save tomorrow
(like a wave, like a wave it’s the way we will save, our lives unsung won’t save our sorrow
(like a wave, like a wave it’s the way we will save,
Waiting for love to finally linger waiting for blood to lead us into Waiting for love to lead us into
Days come undone, won’t save tomorrow
(like a wave, like a wave it’s the way we will save, our lives unsung won’t save our sorrow
(like a wave, like a wave it’s the way we will save,
Days come undone, won’t save tomorrow
(like a wave, like a wave it’s the way we will save, our lives unsung won’t save tomorrow
(like a wave, like a wave it’s the way we will save,

I used to think, back when I was young, some day I’d learn how to be someone
Should have known that I’d be me
If I knew back then what I know now I might have turned my life around
And missed the fun of finding out
I’m slowly figuring things out
I’m slowly figuring things out
Life’s what you make it, and I made a mess
But I’m slowly figuring things out
On the day that I turned 21 I thought my life was halfway done
Many years have passed since then
I never learned what the secrets of life are or how to really play guitar
But I’ve still got time for that
I’m slowly figuring things out
I’m slowly figuring things out
Life’s what you make it, and I made a mess
But I’m slowly figuring things out
Don’t look now but I think we’re gonna be ok
Don’t look now but I think we’re gonna be ok
Life is brief but we’ve still got time to play
And we’re gonna be fine
I'm not who I used to think I’d be I’ve made mistakes but I’m still me
And maybe that's ok
And though this learning curve might break me I’ve still got mistakes to make
I’m gonna make them for myself
I’m slowly figuring things out
I’m slowly figuring things out
Life’s what you make it, and I made a mess
But I’m slowly figuring things out

The Blow-ins - Survive
05:48
|
|||
She’s only a bird on a clifftop, smaller than my hand
The wind ruffles her feathers, her tail a tiny fan
She’s only a bird on a clifftop but she’s flown ten thousand miles
And you can see from the look in her blackberry eye
She’s determined to survive
He’s only a fox in the forest, red as the autumn leaves
The wind carries his scent away, but his sides heave as he breathes
He’s only a foxin the forest, but he watches the hounds as he hides
And you can see by the look in his bright chestnut eye
He’s determined to survive
She’s only a child in a dinghy, frail as a flower in snow
the wind tosses her on the waves, her face flecked with the foam
She’s only a child in a dinghy, so still she seems barely alive
But you can see from the look in her sea-green eyes
She’s determined to survive
We seem only a few among many, but maybe we hold the key
For the wind of change is blowing and its calling you and me
We seem only a few among many, but what if we were to find
That the bird and the fox and the sea-tossed child
hold a message for all humankind
There’s only one earth in the Universe and its home to the human race
And the wind that is coming could blow us away, we could vanish without a trace
There’s only one earth, it’s our planet, so how about now being the time
When we care for the bird and the fox and the child
And maybe we’ll survive
Lyrics: Bridget Cousins Tune: Phil Bennett Arrangement : The Blow-ins

Without Reason - Desire
03:09

I spent, all my time
Chasing things, I can’t find
But even, when I’ve tried I don’t learn, I just find
Myself, in the same place before
Knocking but no answer at the door
I can’t love but you are
One that I would choose
But you won’t choose me back
So I hate love, it’s crap but
Everytime I see you I change my mind cus you
Look at me like that All that love comes back
I know you heard
That I fancy you but that’s a word
So please hold me back
I might’ve lost track
But I don’t learn, no
I don’t learn
I find myself in tyranny, scratching on a burn
I’m in the same place as before
