ALL MEN ARE FOOLS
All men are fools all men are fools
We wrote the book then broke the rules
Or made the film and burned the spools
But we all know the truth, we've all seen the proof
It should be taught in our schools
All men are fools
All men are weak all men are weak
Some might act strong smoke might seem meek
And some might even turn the cheek
But deep in our hearts and right from the start
We know we're not really cool
All men are fools
Our hate our war our games our sport
Our one track minds
We drink we fight we get uptight and we leave our love behind
All men are all men are fools.
You can see it in our walk
Hear it in our talk
All men are fools
See it in our eyes
Hear it in our lies
All mean are fools
Watch the way we rule
See us as we drool
All men are fools.
See it in our looks
And read it in our books
You know that all men are fools

SKY HIGH
Martin dealt with lockdown
By living in the past
He built himself a spitfire
I hope that it will last
The balsa wood and glue
The model paint of red and white and blue
Oh, dooby doo
Martin read all the instructions
He had to get it right
An error in construction might affect its flight
And the remote control
Became a part of Martin's heart and soul
As was his goal
And I know the past can't make things right
But sometimes, letting our memories take flight can be so nice
Out of sight
Martin had a fly past
In memory of his dad
The neighbours put up bunting
And everyone was glad
That something made us smile
And did it all with dignity and style
And for a while
We kissed our trials goodbye and allowed our love and happiness to fly
Sky high

CELEBRATE
Everybody needs to feel the sun
A little light to bring a smile to everyone
Take the time and look around and you may see
I’m a lot like you and you’re the same as me
All alone trying to find their way right or wrong don’t hide away
CHORUS
Let’s Celebrate (rise up and make a stand)
And elevate the answer lies in your hands)
Relive to fight another day there will be no denying there’s a better way
Celebrate
Hold on to whatever pulls you through
The wheel of life is spinning round for me and you
It’s here and now and now is the time to face your fear
Don’t hang around to find the dream has disappeared
All alone try and find your way right or wrong don’t hide away
REPEAT CHORUS x 2
When you’re down and you’re feeling low you’ll need a helping hand
Find the truth and you’re halfway home this is for real
Celebrate
REPEAT CHORUS
Let’s Celebrate
Let’s Celebrate
Let’s Celebrate
Let’s Celebrate

SWEET LIBRA
I like the simple things in life
Some routine and a bit of spice
In balance all in balance
I wander round the brick red streets
I like my eyes to rest on treats
There must be balance, oh I need balance
CHORUS
Who puts you off with promise gay
And keeps you waiting half the day
Who compromises all the way?
Sweet Libra
I like to be the diplomat
I got a dog and then a cat
To bring balance oh I need balance
So many times, I can't decide
And that's when I must run and hide
To find some balance, Lord I need balance
REPEAT CHORUS
I like good hair and harmony, I like to flirt then let it be
I can be lazy or urbane, far too charming, and then a pain
I'm gullible, I like to share, I like the beautiful, feel my hair
Balance oh I need balance
REPEAT CHORUS

SORRY
So it seems that you misunderstood
I hope your tears will do some good
Have you lost all you believed in?
And what did they give?
You'll find them worshiping a purple sky
Cos in their moods they want us all to die
They have always deceived you
For as long as you've lived
CHORUS
You’re pushed up and down
And round and round
But the past is all you have found I bet you're sorry now
Let's ignore their books of history
And turn our backs on years of misery
If you need things to believe in believe in yourself
With voices raised and their arms held high
Stood far away so you can't see their eyes
Then they preach you're a nation
So you hate everyone else
REPEAT CHORUS
Saturday pulls the weekend through
We're all involved yes, so are you
Still you ask lord what can I do
Who's sorry?

Don't Throw It Away

DON’T THROW IT AWAY
Look inside for the love you can’t deny
The sun comes up the seasons change
The stars light up the night
If you walk away there’s nothing left to save
I’ll do my time inside my mind a prisoner wrapped up in chains
I’m dreaming of Sunday having no fun day all alone
My bed is so empty it’s driving me crazy
Don’t throw it away
Don’t throw it away
So we fall from grace to disappear without a trace
The love we had it turned so bad it’s lost not thrown away
I’m dreaming of Sunday having no fun day all alone
The house is so empty it’s killing me gently
Counting cracks on the bedroom wall
A dog keeps barking in the flat next door
I climb for heaven but live in hell
I guess only time will tell
I’m dreaming of Sunday having no fun day all alone
The nights are so empty it’s driving me crazy
Don’t throw it away

JENNIFER
Jennifer talks as I watch the clock
And think about someone new
She tells me about the plans she's got
And all that we're going to do
And this to me is so absurd
Jennifer cries and it all comes out I'm shaking like someone who's hurt.
CHORUS
And the children play...
But for the children, we'd throw it all away
Throw it all away
Ours is a tale that you all must know
We're telling it all the time
One looking around for things to throw
One looking for peace of mind
And this to me is so absurd
Why do we have to scream and shout, what is this need to be hurt?
REPEAT CHORUS
If she could paint her face half as well as I paint the town
I need to set the pace before it all falls down, you know it all falls down
Jennifer cries as I smash the clock
I'm drinking to find the cure
She's packing her bags with all we've lost I'm banging my head on the wall
And this to me is so absurd
Jennifer's smile is the price love cost I'm running away to be heard.
REPEAT CHORUS

SUN VALLEY
Give me your poor on the edge of a dream and I'll treat them like kings
For I am their order, and I am their law, they love what I bring
In days such as these I can pout I can tease, I can give I can take
I am the future your future I own bend with me, or you break
If you sit in misery, give yourself, give your soul to me
There’s a place and I’m hoping you’ll stay
CHORUS
Some may call this gutter alley
I call it Sun Valley
Here are your dreams, you will be happy
Down in the Sun Valley
I bought the sky for a very high price now I'll share it with you (you lucky people)
You're safe in your homes I helped you to own now I'll share my views
I know what you want I know what you need I know what is right
You're all peasant swine but all of you mine and I'll do what I like
There'll be no misery, in this world you will form with me
There's a place and I'm hoping you'll stay
REPEAT CHORUS
Hey la la la Sun Valley hey la la la la
So give me your poor on the edge of a dream I'll distract them with queens
Nudes, role models, football teams and high transfer fees
In ways such as these I can point I can lead, backwards down blind alleys
To be like lotus eaters drugged by the warmth of languid Sun Valley
There is no misery, in this world you have formed with me.
There's a place and I'm hoping you'll stay…
REPEAT CHORUS

Dark High Land

DARK HIGH LAND
Dark high land, dark high land
Got dark satanic mills, got ice atop the hills
And the water from the streams carrying all of our dreams
To a host of dark dry stones
Where you can bet that there are bones that won't talk back
If you ask them, they'll just rattle
Got a snake without a head, got a pass that's always checked
By a tribe of mountain men, many lives are saved by them
Got a smart volcanic square and the people fall down there when
The snow and the rain come to pull them over
Dark high land
Got a monster to the south with a loud and vicious mouth
Got a sky that's full of stars and a load of shared backyards
Got a place you'll never leave and a reason to believe that
The world is outside this dark high land
Dark high land
People see what people want to see
While places are and will forever be
More than just a space for you and me I am
I am growing up in this dark high land
Dark high land
