WAKE ME UP
 
Wake me up to the sound of rain
Wake me up let’s make love again
Strings and bows where’s our trembling rose
It disappeared a long time ago
 
Take a bus to the underground
Where the speed of life’s about to spill all around
Ticket, go check it at the slot machine
Porters all hoping will it let me in
 
Wake me up wake me up
To the falling rain
 
You, you will be mine things will go fine
Let’s have a next time –so long
 
June arrived much like a Saturday
Then autumn’s breeze held up
In the cold and pouring rain the winter at bay
It makes it tough to wake me
 
But you, you will be mine things will go fine
Let’s have a next time
As the sky parts like the sea
I can feel you can you feel me?
So long…so long
 
Get your skates on and fly right out of here!
 
Wake me up to the sound of rain
I hear it falling but I’m on the train
Wake me up … ooh that sound of rain
 
 
CHANGE YOUR LIFE
 
Change your life, change your life
Day and night, if it just ain’t right
They won’t care what clothes you ware
While sunlight shines in Leicester square
Change your life, depart alight
 
Act your age cos your much too young
Now the future’s bright for everyone
If a million miles reads on your clock
And your appetite won’t feed the flock
Change your life, you do it right
 
They’ll call you the leader of the pack
You won’t look forward and you won’t look back
Luck runs in the family that golden smile is all you need
Change, change your life.
 
Strange; they thought you were of course
Who’ll change a penny for your thoughts?
Moonlit plays, - that Swanny song
Something waves your magic wand
Change, change your life
Change, change your life
 
The more you look the more you find
 
 
ONE LEGGED PRINCE
 
I’m a one legged prince with a patch on my eye
And I need to get back to my castle in the sky
She’s a lady, wants my baby
She wants some warm hearted love cos she’s lonely
She’s in colours like no others
Some warm-hearted man will give her all he can
 
I’m a two headed beast who’ in need of a feast
So I’ll stalk through the trees ‘till I find some fruit to eat
Warm-hearted man just you give the best you can
There’s a warm-hearted woman and she really understands
 
It’s a winner, say,”what’s for dinner”
She’s more like magic when love comes so easy
She’s in rainbows, lights the hedgerows
She’s that warm-hearted woman for me
 
Well I’m a three-handed prince with a patch on my eye
The first’s for shaking hands and number two’s for waving bye
But the third holds the secret to all our reasons why
We came here in the first time
When it smacks the baby cries
 
She’s in Trago I wear her halo
Then its round to China Blue
For some more nice things to view
Now there’s a kingdom of bling and ding-dong
She’ll serve it up to you
Just play for what you choose
Or you’ll ride one scary trip to her majesties zoo
 
Now I’m a rather overrated freak artist making it up
I got songs for every ailment but life is what I love
So if one leg ain’t enough and a patch is just a game
I’ll go build a wall of reason but I know that I’m to blame
 
She’s in Trago, now that’s where I go
She’s outrageous who needs Las Vegas
She’s the coastline, oh she’s courageous
So good hearted, that’s where we started
One little touch and I’ll be there
One little touch, one little touch
One little touch and I’ll be there
 
 
LOVE IS
 
Love is the sun love is the sky
Love is the sea love is the blue
Love is the world love is the wind
Love is all you
 
Love is this life love is the way
Love is that night you decided to stay
Love is come in love is let go
Love is to know
 
You and I are lucky you and I are gold
You and I go hand in hand as the rivers flow
Love is love is love
 
Love is the pillow that lays right beside you
Love is the raining love is believing
Love is the snowing love is the dreaming
Love is all you
 
Love is my moon just next to your sun
Love is for rich love is for poor
Love is the you; you can’t keep evermore
 
Love is
 
 
RED GUITAR
 
You stood at the bar
I was armed with a red guitar
I had a talk with myself
Don’t get excited then
‘cos this ain’t the place my friend
you started to laugh
I couldn’t concentrate
What I was about to relate
Cos I got the heat -I got the heat
 
A crowd started to form
I looked at my worn guitar
While something I said
Went in and out around my head
And the band was on the roof I guess
Fear…took a look in my beer
The clear disappeared
There’s always something happening here
I got the heat you give me the heat
 
Whenever it comes whenever it’s done
I still remember Koss
So tell me man if you’ve another plan
I’ll underwrite the cost
And if there’s still a final one who’ll take you on
You’ll go down
 
I kind of wrote you a line
On the back of a 009
Choose, the choice is all mine
I’m failing to make your time
I’ll run to the street
 
With hands against the window pane
Your heart’s again in the hands of time
You rush until you fall down
You’re back in town
And no-one’s doubting
‘bout the love you gave
cry, cry cry cry
 
 
WALKING (HEY DADDY)
 
What’s in the skinny jar and who is
Holding a piece of cake?
You are changing the whole concept
Of seeing things you never saw
You are making magic
 
Life draws a picture book; do look.
Taking one giant step around this globe
Holding a balanced room on two feet
It ain’t trick or treat
You are making magic
 
Hey daddy I’m walking to you
Hey mummy I’m talking to
Ten feet small am I really that tall?
 
Daddy’s in a melting pot of music
Momma’s finding comfort as you choose it
Our motor car’s a century old
Rusty and very cold
While you are making magic
 
Pay the rent the gas and the clubs
Give 100% to your overdubs
Your dresses get made and his socks get sown
There’s a dream out there and here’s a place called home
 
Babies all gurgle one two three
It’s time for their milk it’s time for their tea
And if one hundred rhymes won’t rock them to sleep
It’s back to the top babies one two three
They are making magic
 
While you are making music
 
 
 RAIN RAIN
 
Rain, rain it’s rained since May
Now it’s late September and it’s raining the same
Rain pain it’s more than chucking it down
Where the high street ran there’s now a river in town
 
Now the cows won’t swim and the sheep won’t sleep
It’s been raining for so long it’s rising up past their knees
You swim to the shop you wade your way to school
So take your biggest umbrella cos it’s raining you fool
 
Rain rain it’s rained since May
The roof keeps leaking they can’t channel it away
Rain pain when it rains it pours
Splishing and a- splashing through windows and doors
 
Rain rain rain rain rain rain rain
 
If you live on the hill at least your feet will stay dry
But down in the hollows they can’t stem the tide
It’s all cats and dogs fish and frogs
Now the boats from the park are a means to get across the plains
 
Rain rain it’s rained since May
Now it’s late September and it’s raining the same
Rain rain please go away
Don’t rain from October ‘till the thirst of May
 
The cricket’s rained off but the swimming’s still on
We’ll all get water sports ‘till the rain is done
Still the clock strikes the hour, hour after hour
The town teller stands while the bells ring out loud
The lord mayor cries for help for his people
The people clamber up to the top of the steeple
It’s like Gormenghast as the rain falls fast
Onto a very sodden future while we’re soaked to the last
Man in rain
 
Now rain it’s a serious thing
When it keeps precipitating in a constant stream
Rain pain just go away
Don’t dare rain from October ‘till the first of May
 
Rain rain rain rain rain rain rain
 
 
HARRY
 
Harry you’re breaking my heart oh Harry
Harry don’t pull us apart oh Harry
If only I could pray my mind would turn away
From this madness
 
Drowning I’m hurting inside
Yes I’m turning
Loves edge I’m hurting inside
Yes I’m learning
 
If only I could catch my breath
My love would move a million steps with you
I’m blowing with the wind
No, I won’t be back again
May God be with you.
 
Harry I’m dreaming you’re here
Hurry, the taste of your tears I’ll carry
 
Loneliness I’ve lost
It’s not the whole it was but I miss you
I wish I’d loved you more
I washed upon your shore
 
Harry, oh Harry memories
 
Harry I’m dreaming you’re here
Loneliness I’ve lost
 
 
EYES ON YOU
 
Love’s half afloat in an anchorless sea
A glass on the bottom and a line to feed
Maybe it’s a wish another dish
Or coincidence my friend
But lately I’ve gone overboard on you
 
Perhaps it’s a tacky one but stick around
By a rule of conscience – in a penny in a pound
I see you’ve shaved your legs
And changed your eiderdown for togs my friend
I’ll wrap you up and cuddle you again
 
Got my eyes on you
They’re stuck like glue
Got my eyes on you they won’t let go
Got my eyes on you
You’re coming coming too
Got my eyes on you they won’t let go
 
Collect these thoughts the hide them in your bag
Turn your key but you won’t turn back
I found you looking round
You tossed your hair it fell down your face
Lately yes lately I get you
 
Won’t let go, won’t let go
 
 
                  
 
CHRISTMAS IS COMING
 
Christmas is here we’ve been waiting all year
 
Christmas is here isn’t it great
Love the feeling that we create
So much love and so much joy
from everyone; girl and boy
 
Christmas is here isn’t it fun
Love this feeling from everyone
Jesus was born he came into our lives
Showed us how to care and provide
 
We can see the Christmas tree
Lighting up the room
We can share magic there
Playing and laughing too
 
Christmas is here
 
Christmas is here doesn’t it swing
With all the happiness that it brings
Shirts and socks jumpers and bikes
Everything you happen to like
 
I can put my feet on a stool
Watch the TV it’s fun
Uncle Mac will entertain us
He’s so good at playing the fool
 
Christmas is here
 
Christmas is pudding chocolates and roast
Pop and beer – good times we toast
Upon his reindeer presents he’ll bring
Santa Claus is gonna drop in yeh yeh
 
Santa Claus is gonna drop in today
 
Oh it’s fun!
 
 
JUMP JOHN
 
Hey look at the seagull
The tattoo on her arm
Who’s she taking to the farm
This boy that girl oh hell
 
You know in her heart
She sees anything she wants
But I’m me acting nonchalant
This time I’m fine oh well
 
Don’t tell me you fancy
A diamond through your nose
And who’s he laying down his load
She’s yours she’s mine this time
 
She’s mine she’s mine
 
I’ll run for the devil
If the devil won’t find me
I’ll run for a medal if the devil’s behind me
 
Look out cos here it comes
 
I see seven spiders
Cobwebs down that lane
And stood right beside her
Steaming like a train
This boy that girl oh hell
 
Jump John
with the beat of a drum
 
 
FLY ME MACHINE
 
Looking out my open cockpit
High above the ground
Everywhere there’s clouds and blue
For miles and miles around
Fly me machine
 
Sandwich in my left hand and
The joystick’s in my right
Make my way to Gatwick
I’ll be there before the night
Fly me machine
 
All the summer soloing
Preparing for today
A newcomer following
What the map displays
Showing me the way
 
To Le Touquet for a game of croquet
To Le Touquet yeh I’m on my way
 
My instruments are pretty crude
But I know what to read
Got my lat and longitude
And I can judge the speed
Fly me machine
 
Before I got my wings
I was firmly rooted down
Now my engine sings
Oh it makes a glorious sound
It makes a glorious sound
 
And to Le Touquet for a game of croquet
I'll send a bouquet roger OK
 
Let’s go fly together – Let’s get high together
Up in the sky there’s a plane going by
And the weatherman said that it might turn wet
Ooh carry those wings to the edge of the sunset
Carry us high cos I’m waving bye bye
Figures in the sky now I’m waving bye bye
 
 
 
The luggage is behind the seat
I’ve got my thermos flask
Gladly I’ve a friend to meet
When I arrive at last
Fly me machine
 
Looking out this open cockpit
Somewhere in the blue
There’s a strip I’m on to honey
And there I’ll end this trip with you
Fly me machine
 
To Le Touquet
La femmes fatale sway
Lamour resume
Yes I’m on my way
To Le Touquet
Buy a dog for my babe
Just clean your windows
A café latte sil vous plais
 
To Le Touquet for a game of croquet
I’ll send a bouquet – roger roger OK
Ah Le Touquet la femmes fatale sway
L’amour resume yes I’m on my way
