April 16, 2016 Harvest Of The Blind (Acoustic Version)
Harvest Of The Blind
Behind the colonnades stands a bamboo house
Where i spent my childhood day's
Now that seems worlds apart
'cos all the toxic sprays and insecticides
Have destroyed my secret garden
Now there's nowhere to hide

What are we eating?
Why are the rains on fire?, fire?, fire?,
What are we reaping?
This is The Harvest of the Blind
A panoramic view
Now walls rise up and spoil the love
I alway's knew
As tears fill up my eye's
My bleeding heart can't take the lies
I hate it all ~ as the black rains fall
What are we eating?
Why are the rains on fire?, fire?, fire?,
What are we reaping?
This is The Harvest of the Blind
Do you remember the day's
We used to sit and watch the blue skies ~ rolling?
And do you remember the times
We'd lay in fields of our desire?
Now they're gone
Oh Take me home
Now they're gone
Oh! take me home
Take me, yeah!
What are we eating?
Why are the rains on fire?, fire?, fire?,
What are we reaping?
This is The Harvest of the Blind
What are we eating?
Why are the rains on fire?, fire?, fire?,
What are we reaping?
This is The Harvest of the Blind

April 16, 2016 A Day In The Pleasure Garden (Acoustic Version)
A Day In The Pleasure Garden
I'm Woken by the Goblin Thieves
From a vivid dream on LSD
Cut me down i'm a falling tree
Riddled with pain and ecstasy
Demons mask my eyes with their lies
Enchanted by a dreamhouse i find
A spiral staircase takes me down
To a world of distorted sound

A Day In The Pleasure Garden
Of Fantasy
A Day In The Pleasure Garden
I spent all day in my dreams
Tomorrow don't get here at all
I Don't have a care now in the world
I'm almost empty like a rained out cloud
Raped of my thoughts in this helpless hour
Angels guard the wishing well
I Taste the air of bitter sweet smells
That brings me down onto my knees
Where i lay for days under bubblegum trees

A Day In The Pleasure Garden
Of Ecstasy
A Day In The Pleasure Garden
We spent all day on our knees
A Day In The Pleasure Garden
Of Fantasy
A Day In The Pleasure Garden
I spent all day in my dreams
A Day In The Pleasure Garden
Of Ecstasy
A Day In The Pleasure Garden
We spent all day on our knees
(Pleasure Garden, Pleasure Garden) We spent all day on our knees
(Pleasure Garden, Pleasure Garden) We spent all day on our knees
(On our knees, on our knees)
(On our knees, on our knees)

October 25, 2014 The Girl On The Train - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz9IzAr_YS4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz9IzAr_YS4
The Girl On The Train
The girl on the train
Broke my heart in vain
Couldn't look away
Couldn't think what to say
The girl on the train
Made me feel insane
She's in my head
I wanna her in my bed
But i can't get her outta my brain that girl on the train
No i can't get her outta my brain that girl on the train
That girl on the train
Made me feel so strange
Cos those green eyes
Had me hypnotized
That girl on the train
Was a white hot dame
She dressed to thrill
And it's me she killed
The girl on the train
Took her coat and case
Left her seat in haste
And she walked away
The girl on the train
Went back to the rain
Wish i knew her name
I'll never see her again
But i can't get her outta my brain that girl on the train
No i can't get her outta my brain that girl on the train
Stoking
My feelings
She makes me feel insane
Faster
Heart beating
Chasing
Desire
Take me
Make me
Go higher
But i can't get her outta my brain that girl on the train
No i can't get her outta my brain that girl on the train
But i can't get her outta my brain that girl on the train
No i can't get her outta my brain that girl on the train

September 15, 2014 Someone's Dying (Part 2)
Someone's Dying
I slipped away from a sleepy stillness
A blind man cried
Pale faces stared
Cos someone's died
They steel your clothes and make you grand
For your final stand
A funeral pyre of cleansing fire
On these hallowed lands
There's no-one here i know
Black suits and a perished moon
Light the candles, start the wake
Your embers burnt out too soon
Someone's dying, Someone's dying
I walked away
No I crawled away
To an endless pain
Through the winter storm clouds
So these dreamless nights
And the empty days
They seem so strange
Through the winds of hell fire
And in the breeze
Oh the summer trees
I'm on my knees
For you now sweet child
Can't let you go
Oh you'll never know
Just how much i loved you now
I walked away from the girl with the flowers
Tears fall like blood, i felt her pain
I grew old, without your love
Sombre days and bitter rains
Everything just falls apart
It breaks my heart
I call your name, it's all in vain
This is my darkest day
I kissed your eyes and said goodbye
Dust to dust beneath black skies
I wish you well and stay clear of hell
Till another place, another time
Someone's dying, Someone's dying
Through the rain and snow
To where the angels go
In the afterglow
Is where i'll meet you
You're dust and bone
And your blood runs cold
Now long dark nights bleed me
Ive met the devil here
Near your grave stone dear
But i showed no fear
Cos you were with me
In your land of ghosts
And tormented souls
You'll waltz right through heavens door

June 24, 2014 Time (Will Be The Ghost Of You)
Time (Will be the ghost of you)
Time is the passenger
It rides with you through life
It picks you up and drags you down
And leaves you when you die
Time is the healer
It wipes away the tears
No more heartache, no more pain
They wither through the years
Oh time (Will be the ghost of you)
Oh time (Will be the ghost of you)
Oh you can run and you can hide
But you'll never escape from father time
Oh time, oh time
Oh time, oh time
Time will be your father
Your mother and your son
Time will be your killer
When all your days are done
Time has all the answers
To questions still unasked
Time will see the holocaust
Thats still to be unmasked
Oh time (Will be the ghost of you)
Oh time (Will be the ghost of you)
Oh you can run and you can hide
But you'll never escape from father time
Oh time, oh time
Oh time, oh time
Tick-a-tock . . . time
Tick-a-tock . . . time
Tick-a-tock . . . time
Tick-a-tock . . . time
Oh time (Will be the ghost of you)
Oh time (Will be the ghost of you)
Oh you can run and you can hide
But you'll never escape from father time
Oh time, oh time
Oh time, oh time

June 08, 2014 Homeward Bound
Homeward Bound
Every time i go
I see the rain flow from your eyes
I call out to the gods
To light up your sky
I take my old guitar
And i ride oh how i ride
Down through these valleys green
To the city of a million lights
And every time i go you look like heaven
And when I'm leaving i feel like the devil is inside of me
Now, now, now, now, now
Through the night, faster than light
More than the speed of sound
You're my fire, my one desire
You are my solid ground
And all i wanna be, all i wanna be
All i wanna be is Homeward Bound
I take the dusty highway
They call the cinder road
To play my guitar through the night
Til the stage curtains close
Rage the howling wind
Here comes another storm
I drive home by the road cafes
To reach you by dawn

And every time i go you look like heaven
And when I'm leaving i feel like the devil is inside of me
Now, now, now, now, now
Through the night, faster than light
More than the speed of sound
You're my fire, my one desire
You are my solid ground
And all i wanna be, all i wanna be is
All i wanna be is Homeward Bound
Through the night, faster than light
More than the speed of sound
You're my fire, my one desire
You are my solid ground
Got my radio on, i venture on
When the lights go down
Driving north, beneath storm clouds
Through these strange, strange towns
And all i wanna be, all i wanna be
All i wanna be is Homeward Bound

June 08, 2014 Rainy Days
Rainy Days
Rainy days, always in my way
After all these years, the pain don't fade away
Oh Dad, you're never coming back
From that fateful heart attack
Which left me on my knees
Fighting back the tears
And I still miss you
And I still need you
And I still love you
These rainy days, have broke me many ways
And where was god, when i cried out his name
Oh Dad, you left me way too soon
You never saw me bloom
And even though I've tried
I'm hollow deep inside
And I still miss you
And I still need you
And I still love you
How many more rainy days?
I've a million memories of the days we played
How many more rainy days?
I can't wait to see you in another world
How many more rainy days?
I've a million memories of so very few days
How many more rainy days?
I can't wait to see you in another world
