Song lyrics
Something You Should Know
(Entitlement or enlightenment)
Are you listening
Are you hearing what you want to hear
Does the truth hurt
Ridicule it when it gets too close to you
Fabricate a story you can tell
You don’t need me
You can create your own hell
There is something you should know
There are many paths to follow
And this story never ends
There is something you should know
There are many lies to swallow
And this story never ends
We are starlight
Everything we are has always been
Be beholden
Everybody wants the same thing that you do
Stop believing that it’s only you
I am love
And everybody else too
There is something you should know
There are many paths to follow
And this story never ends
There is something you should know
There are many lies to swallow
And this story never ends
Fish On A Hook
(An unusual affair)
Penthouse chic he's a self made man
He made his money
out of bread and sham
She works nights it gets her down
A dead end job in a one horse town
One night stand well that's alright
Or so he thought at the end of the night
She has eyes so she can see
She is the lock and he is the key
Nine months later to his surprise
She stakes a claim which he denies
Then he gets a visit from her next of kin
May I introduced you to the brothers grim
They got him caught like a fish on a hook
He didn’t mean to upset her
They got him caught like a fish on a hook
He knows that things could look better
Do what’s right that's what they say
One way or another he will have to pay
Bobby has a habit
and the twins want tats
The consequences are a matter of fact
Shotgun weddings are oh so sad
But funnily enough she don't look bad
And he's much kinder with his back to the wall
The not so happy couple happy after all
They got him caught like a fish on a hook
He didn’t mean to upset her
They got him caught like a fish on a hook
He knows that things could look better
Years go by the kid grows tall
She doesn't look like her dad at all
Something isn't right but how do you say
Could there be a problem with the DNA?
He don't mind he loves the kid
And he can forgive whatever she did
Life is good they don't want for more
Now who's that tall man knocking at their door?
They got him caught like a fish on a hook
He didn’t mean to upset her
They got him caught like a fish on a hook
He knows that things could look better
The Story That We Live
(For Mark)
That’s enough now lay your head down on your bed
It’s time to close your eyes and sleep
Those thoughts were only ever in your head
The world is lying at your feet
The story that we live we write it every day
The people that we love ,the give and take ,the push and shove
The story that we live, the story that we tell
Steals the time
Gives a name
Sends a sign .. to your mind
You are loved more than you’ll ever know
Running silent running deep
Hate and ignorance were always strangers to you
They’re not the company you keep
The story that we live we write it every day
The people that we love ,the give and take ,the push and shove
The story that we live, the story that we tell
Steals the time
Gives a name
Sends a sign .. to your mind
Unwanted Wolves
(Mothers ruin. Yes they do)
He left her standing in her wedding dress
His parting gift an unwelcome guest
He read her mind and the rest he took
Just like the pages of an unloved book
Years unfold they’ve not been kind
A vengeful mother and a fertile mind
The blind leading the blind
Step into your party dress
Temptation for those unwanted wolves
Remember what mother said
No mercy for those unwanted unwanted wolves
A bitter daughter with a beauty deep
Willing suitors falling at her feet
Another victim in a cold water flat
Regret is sour but revenge is sweet
Men propose it’s far too late
Why would she reciprocate
When all she has is hate
There’s danger behind these eyes
No quarter for those unwanted wolves
So easy to Weaponise
Such beauty to fight unwanted unwanted wolves
The Man Who Should Be King
(If you want to be king you probably shouldn’t be)
King makers and tree shakers
Turn your radar on
The rain fakers and climate haters
Are singing that old stupid song
I've got it all but I want more
Don't you wish that you were me
I'm the one that you adore
Isn't that worth fighting for
Calling out around the world and all that kind of thing
Anyone who knows for sure the man who should be king
If you seek dominion surround yourself with bling
Know that you will never be the man who should be king
Trend setters befriend Gretas
Wide awoke and narrow eyes
Eton mess and Elon me
Catch your breath and weaponise
Now you think you're in control
Like a dog that's off its leash
Any rock that you can roll
Any punter you can fleece
Calling out around the world and all that kind of thing
Anyone who knows for sure the man who should be king
If you seek dominion surround yourself with bling
Know that you will never be the man who should be king
He Can Be Eyes
(Not so easy money)
One to break and one to bow
One to steal into the night
What to do with second sight
He can be eyes
Case the mark and brief the crew
This for me and that for you
Find a job for him to do
He can be eyes
Temptation grows again
Ripens on the tree
Easy money the hard way
One payday
Can’t do this on my own
Need to find a crew
Must throw that dog a bone
Can I trust you
Don’t you know
There’s no easy way in
There’s no easy way out
Once you’re in
It’s your eyes and your shout
One to break and one to bow
One to steal into the night
What to do with second sight
He can be eyes
Case the mark and brief the crew
This for me and that for you
Find a job for him to do
He can be eyes
This Story Never Ends (instrumental)
(What goes around comes around)
