Through the fields Across the watermeadows Cap in hand Went the Vassel to the Castle To swear his loyalty to the land To all subjects, this allegiance brings Through the divine rights of Kings Whatever it says written on that parchment with a quill For the continuity of the law, we use force and we will Through the years Across the centuaries Hear austerity's tale Through the factory trajectory/tragic-tory Everything is for sale Working on the old treadmill Thank Christ you've got a cup to fill The future's not written, but it's a loaded hand For the Lords of the land. Softly blows the sound of summers breeze amidst the evensong An there behold the secrets of an older world Another one But of The Miracles, the Saints and the Angels Who now knows their crimes ? In the crowded eighth century cemetary lie Bede's bones And his reckoning of time

Past awhile money dread Dragged me out of bed On a fine summers morning Down the factory road Jumped the Bonewagon load In town we were born Screaming “let me go Give me fifty blind More corners to turn” A week for a turn on the money-go-round Everyday a thousand pigs burn Chorus Up to the neck in bones , blood and guts I’m on a Bonewagon rut Verse 2 Past awhile Sluggy dread Dragged me out of bed On a fine summers morning Down the factory road Jumped the Bonewagoin load In town we were born Screaming “let me go Give me fifty blind More corners to turn” A week for a turn on the money-go-round........ Chorus Up to the neck in bones, blood and guts I’m on a Bonewagon rut

Pistol Dawn 04:50
Shot down the first one around Johnny’s at four He pulled the drinks, got me sweeping the floor And out from the street the springtime burst through the door And i lived in the world, oh like never before Chorus And we drank until the rising sun Took up the day we’d won Loaded, reborn On a wonderful morning, a wonderful morning Down in the hole drinking Polly Magoo’s We’ll raise a glass for the weapons we choose The city of our dreams, they called “A Movable Feast” Did they lay you down with your toes pointing East? Chorus That you may face the rising sun And look at the day weve done Loaded, reborn On a wonderful morning We turn to the rising sun And look at the day weve done Loaded, reborn I wonder and mourn Pistol Dawn

Sunday Bells 05:39
Verse 1 Sunbeams came and woke me Shadows dancing in my room I heard you call, you kicked the ball We ran into the afternoon We should have told the old ones Which way the wind would blow But the road just opened up and took me, how was i to know? Chorus 1 That if you run through the fields Screaming up to the sky Dreaming nowt but wings Then of course you’ll want to fly And if you take all your hopes Carve them into the tree Will they fade with time Or maybe last eternally And up Scott’s Hill With Indian skill Running still Jack and Jill Verse 2 Slowdown, take a look around Jump the train, go round the bend I hope the roads you take will lead you where you want to go my friends As evening falls And all around us turns and then You hear the bells and see the Rose And you’ll be coming home again Chorus 2 And if you follow the sound Of the hooves on the street From a racecourse round In a marketplace to meet From a town of its own In a garden of old To the Yorkshire Rose I tip my cap and off we'll go Up Scott’s Hill Where Indians kill Running still And always will

Pollen Cloud 05:46
Lost in a Pollen cloud, sailing the seas of Vermouth Alone in the bar Castaneda, looking my youth She enters, i look at the clock, and it points to the roof Could be anyone Of heavens own daughters Slipped out into the night The hot southern wind brought her Knocked off my pedestal, paid up and followed outside In the shadow of the Sierra Nevada and thundering sky’s And all that i sing and i see, is “ A Pair of Brown eyes” Could be anywhere I dont know but i oughta Jumped in the Sharabang Like Lamb to the slaughter And i thought i heard her say “To the hot springs across the plain” Destiny follows and Chance your a wicked old snake Todays what your given, tomorrow you’ve gotta go take And yesterday, sweeter than Rosa, i’ll never forsake Could be anyone Of heavens own daughters Slipped out into the night The hot southern wind brought her Took me by surprise When the sudden moon caught her She took me by the hand And led me down to the water And as we lay in the stream Oh the rain fell between I’m Alive!!!

Transcending 04:05
Take your coat from the wall And make your way down the stairs and hall To the street, in the rain Washing away at the stains Through the sound of the cars and the buses your walking away They bowled you over and your sore Your feeling older but you've shouldered more And you know, when you bet There's no time for regret The worlds out there waiting for you And you can go stand in line And ask for a pardon, a place in the garden And maybe things will work out fine But you've tasted of the breeze Now your not so easily pleased And your a long time gone So now the fight is on It's woven into the cloth It's sunken into the grain Life is an ocean and wheels are in motion I won't go back to that shithole again!

Innocence sings By the riverside things will be ok Alone for a while At Nature’s parade Take a seat in the shade Under the Willow trees sigh For the ways of the world are Such to contemplate Ever since the dawn that all was born At Hell or Heavens gates Verse 2 Fishing with dreams Like a vision it seems I was watching the river go by Whistled a note or two Watching them float i knew Happiness there by my side But the ways of the world are such That they call it fate The day withdrew and night came through An i’d cast my bait Chorus And by the Willow tree i’ll wait! Verse3 Innocent child Oh whenever you smile You light up like the stars and the sun Though the answer still sleeps And the Willow tree weeps For the brothers in arms, to the gun And the ways of the world are Such to contemplate We’ll reach the shore and sing once more Sooner or later And by the Willow tree i’ll wait

Here comes the night Like a guillotine might In a ghostly Parisian tale Execution is swift As a soul floats adrift From the rose he held beyond the pale And the wind will rise By the river side And fill the sails With the Banshees wails Verse 2 Shivers to chill All thats dead somehow still Travels back through the shadows of time Visions appear On the taste of a tear What was lost has now comeback to find Getting colder now Looking over my shoulder now Was that you in the crowd Am i dreaming out loud Or am i Haunted ? Verse 3 All jumpy and tight As it fades in the light And it flickers and floats through the dark All reason deserves With her comingly curves Will be lost if i put out the spark From the token vow To the furrowed brow Where its all broken bone And its written in stone And garding the tomb Sits the devil one Starved to the end But the taste still lingers on And on When your Haunted Verse 4 I can still see her walking by my window See the sun shining in through the trees Feel the wind on my face As i’m running down the road Trying to catch some lost hope on the breeze And i’m pushing through all of these people When i really don’t believe my eyes Cos there was nobody there And i’m stuck in the glare Of the sun Under Rue de Bagnolet sky’s

Guilty 05:45
I live my life with strangers I pass them in the hall The face that always changes Has no face at all I’m walking on the ceiling Of someone else’s life His kids are always screaming And i've never see the wife Once i was All ive lost Chorus 1 And its cold And there's no more fish in the sea Hangdog hound is looking at me Sold my soul For Whisky and rye Hangdog hound looking me in the eye Verse 2 I feel my life’s in danger My backs against the wall Another fallen Angel With no one left to call The reason why defeats me As i stumble down the glade The daylight comes to greet me But i scramble for the shade Once i was Now all is lost Chorus 2 And it's cold And they stole the sun from the sky Hangdog hound looking me in the eye Sold my soul, a ticket for free Hangdog hound is looking at me And......Who’s gonna save me tonight ???
