Declaration: Neither Fish Nor Flesh
…so I’m not you pearlTo this I am resignedBut… to an outside worldI will not be defined‘Cause I’m neither fish… nor flesh
I Have Faith In These Desolate Times
I have faith in these desolate timesA roar down the road of a rumbling warI have faith in these desolate timesA chill from the eyes ofa man of political skillI have faith but for how much longer?It seems to me, bitter trees, full of fleasSummarily hold the branchesPeople we, falling leaves, watching thievesStealing keys, to our ranchesI have faith in these desolate timesA score to the sound of the feetof a journeyman’s tourI have faith in these desolate timesA feel and a hope and beliefthat man’s peace will be stillI have faith but for how much longer?The village green, people seen, full of beansImagining the course of actionAnd in between, shopping scenes, plasticineSuburban dreams, an empty factionI have faith in these desolate timesShow fear, and the smoke of a gun triggerpulling finger pressure comes nearI have faith in these desolate timesBefore long, the lamb and the lion may liewith the lass in the grass at dawnI have faith but for how much longer?

To Know Someone DeeplyIs To Know Someone Softly
(Spoken Intro)Under a temperamental sunOn the dark hillside of your sorrowIf there’s pain in your heartLet it goJust reach inside and let it goNow digTo know someone deeplyIs to know someone softlyTo know someone deeplyIs to know someone softlyListen to me knowIn my love gardenI wrestled with an angelNot in a dreamHer eyes did seemLike the grapes of the vineHer lips were made like the gates of HeavenNot to be missedMade to be kissedBut not to kiss goodbyeThe larger pictureWill come with timeBut for tonight, dearLet’s lullabyeTo know someone deeplyIs to know someone softlyTo know someone deeplyIs to know someone softlyListen to me knowOnce a flower opensIt never closesUntil it diesAnd the it liesAmongst the rosesI wanted to play her likeA black grand pianoA clarinetA minuetOr lyric sopranoIn my arms there’sA safety zoneWhere nothing can harm youYour heart or homeTo know someone deeplyIs to know someone softlyTo know someone deeplyIs to know someone softlySingDum Dum Dum Dum / Sha La LaDa Da Dum / Sha La La La LaTo know someone deeplyIs to know someone softlyTo know someone deeplyIs to know someone softly
I’ll Be Alright
Hold back your diamonds and pearls‘Cause the attraction’s no good to meHold back your California GirlsYour prescriptions and your limousinesHold back your influential friendsFor they are really not my type‘Cause just as long as I’ve got my babyI’ll be alrightI’ll be alrightDespite all the finer thingsShe’d have if she were moniedLike a rich girlI’ll be alrightDespite all the candy coloured thingsThe things that are so untrueHold back your perfumes so rare‘Cause she smells like a rose untornHold back your designer underwearShe’s a beauty just the way she was bornShe may not move like Fred AstaireBut her gingerly walk is out of sight‘Cause just as long as I’ve got my babyI’ll be alrightI’ll be alrightDespite all the finer thingsShe’d have if she were moniedLike a rich girlI’ll be alrightDespite all the candy coloured thingsThe things that are so untrueI’ll sing it for the last time y’allHold back your critical reviews‘Cause my baby don’t need the hypeWe’re happy just to pay our little duesSo get movin’, get on your bike‘Cause just as long as I’ve got my babyIf I can hold on and keep my babyIf I can just hold on and keep my babyI’ll be alright
Billy Don’t Fall
Billy was a young boyWho’s fate did decreeThat he would like only other boysSo being with a boy came to him naturallyBilly was a green boyHis thoughts so naiveHe wondered why he was so victimisedAnd his fear brought him close to me suddenlyButBilly my friendDon’t fall in love with meI’m not that kind of guyBut I’ll stand by your sideIf you need me to beButBilly my friendDon’t fall in love with meThough it can’t be wrong to beTo be what you areBilly was a sick boyHis life fading to greyHe tried to grab for straws of familyBut his loved ones turned young Billy awayBilly died a young manHis face to the windAnd of the things I regret the mostWas seeing how hate and fear killed a friendButBilly my friendDon’t fall in love with meI’m not that kind of guyBut I’ll stand by your sideIf you need me to beButBilly my friendDon’t fall in love with meThough it can’t be wrong to beTo be what you are
This Side Of Love
We’re on the negative side of loveI’m subject to all bizarre whims she fanciesI’m running escape to find the handleOf the door she locks me up inShe’s on the laughing side of sinWhat have I done in all my past lives(To end up on) This side of Love?We’re on a permanent twist of fateShe has dominion over time and tortureI’m pinching myself to convince me thatI’m in a living nightmareThe killer attraction of a dareWhat have I done, emasculation(To end up on) This side of Love?If I should stay(Will the beat go on?)I must be strong(We tell you every day)Will I return(To normal lovers again?)Please peel my skin(‘Cause my soul is burning)We’re on a roundabout whirl of scornThe demons are smiling and the angels snoringI feel like a stepchild Caeser that’s beenBeaten and bruised to please herWearing a rusted ring of thornsWhat have I done to piss the Gods off(To end up on) This side of Love?If I should stay(Will the beat go on?)I must be strong(We tell you every day)Will I return(To normal lovers again?)Please peel my skin(‘Cause my soul is burning)We’re on the negative side of loveI see my condition as a sign of serviceI’ll snuggle up close to her knowingThat I’m practising my religionWarming the barrel of a gunThis will be the deed that finds me next time(On this side of)(On this side of)(On this side of) This side of Love

You Will Pay Tomorrow
As I hold my head downAgainst a whipping hard rain babeSlaps me like a sheetSheets of rain coming downAs I dig my heels deepIn a minefield of muddy waterI hear a voice loud and lowStays with me wherever I go sayin’You will pay tomorrow for whatYou do todayAccept this as a truthFor old as well as youthYou will pay tomorrow for whatYou do todayAs sure as you are bornThough you may be weak and tornAs a snake pulls up beside meThinking that my name is EveMy dark side starts to chide meBut I bring him down to his kneesAs I close my eyes tightDeep in meditationPeaceful sleep evades meBut a low pitched drone invades me sayin’You will pay tomorrow for whatYou do todayThough you run you cannot hideIt’s a truth that shall abide sayin’You will pay tomorrow for whatYou do todayIt will find you in the morningA heartache for your warningAs I shake my head twiceSaying I’d rather fight than switchI was land rich but penny poorBut I couldn’t tell which from whichAs my kneecaps break the fallOf my begging for grace and favourBell, Book and Candle holds meBut a spellbinding whisper scolds me sayingYou will pay tomorrow for whatYou do todayThough your vision may be blearyAnd your eyes that see may be weary – butYou will pay tomorrow for whatYou do todayOn your mind it will wearIgnore it if you dareAs I shed my second skinBeneath a bullet box roller-coasterI view my transformationThrough the veil of a jokesterAs I gain my second sightI shed a tear and I shake the crowdI used to rather be dead than humbleBut now I’d rather be dead than proudYou will pay tomorrow for whatYou do todayAfter deep time tossed confusionI came to my own conclusion thatYou will pay tomorrow for whatYou do todayAccept this as a notionAs fish breathe in the dirty ocean
I Don’t Want To Bring Your Gods Down
(Spoken Intro)PeopleThis is not a filmThis is my songNow pick up your shovel andDigI don’t want to bring your Gods down babeI don’t want to bring your Gods down babeTheir flesh and blood for you too realThe wine that flows from their nostrilsToo redTheir master strokes too fundamentalTheir saint soaked cathedrals too doneI don’t want to bring your Gods down babeI don’t want to bring your Gods down babeTheir stow and their steed is too toughAnd your faith in that creed I believe is enoughTheir colossal calamaties consideredTheir aprons of mayhem and destructionToo fullWill you remain controlled,Untouchable, chained in yourBuilt in prisonCan’t you see darling, you and me, we belongTogether like guilt and religionI don’t want to bring your Gods down babeI don’t want to bring your Gods down babeThe ferocity of their cat claws too steelAnd we the weak kneed weeds of theirWeaker breed never paused to feelWe’re not the masters of the land we surveyBut I guess you’d come to that conclusionWhen you’re ready in your own time anywayI don’t want to bring your Gods down babeI don’t want to bring your Gods down babeBecause their armour and their crest cuts too deepAnd the cold landcliffs where they rest are far too steepBut I just wanna say to you that like yourGods, your guilt and your beliefs I too wanna beWith you ‘til the very end babe
…And I Need To Be With Someone Tonight
Shine on your lightLead me to your homeLower your sightsPut away your combThough black babies are starvingAnd cows fed for the carvingAll I know is I’m lonelyAnd I need to be with someone tonightLift up your chinLet me see your eyesWords are not my yenMy tongue is often tiedThough apartheid’s a greater issueI long to hear “I miss you”All I know is I’m lonelyAnd I need to be with someone tonight‘Till men stop being intimidatedBy women who have made itAll I know is I’m lonelyAnd I need to be with someone tonight
