Well you can kick at a cat, stamp on a rat But you bet your sweet life you won't make it Yeah the odds are against, it's a barbed wire fence And you're caught by the ass, you can't shake it You get the cat and the rat if you've got a big sack Beat 'em to death in your own little trap Well you're caught in a storm, your shoes they got worn They're...Learn More

What is the point, you'll never win We're up at your throats before you begin Closing your ears to other men's views Change for the good, would not bring bad news Turning your heads away from the crowd Turning much further than we can allow Turning your heads away from the crowd Turning much further than we can allow Why change the rules, say...Learn More

Stop for the traffic, maybe I can see Remains of a flower, stump of a tree Shaking hands with people who are smiling desperately Trying to win over through, through the heart of me Buildings tall, people small, maybe they can't see That the sun keeps shining down on little old me Well I'm walking down the main street, but their eyes just can't...Learn More

Love is a sleeper locked in a room Waiting for someone to waken it Holding a key for a heart that's immune Frightened it's not really making it But sooner or later it feels through the cold All the warmth and the tremors that's shaking it Love is a sleeper no one can deny I know, I've been so tired many times Love is a sleeper content by the...Learn More

People that you send to war Who don't know what they're fighting for Leaving their loved ones at home Wondering if they're on their own Oh, if they're alone Mothers and fathers that wait For news of their innocents' fate Raising a son for some years Only to end it in tears Oh, only to end it in tears You being masters of war You never knew your...Learn More

I was waiting, I was singing I was standing patiently Who would wait this long for me Who's gonna sing a song for me I was smiling, I was walking Open mind to open miles Who will crack me a crooked smile Who'll still climb my crooked stiles I was crying, I was stumbling Over broken glass laid tracks Following ancient portait maps Who could tell...Learn More

That perfume in the air is like the one she'd wear And her hair, it always took time to repair My watch it brings of late to me the times I'd wait By the gate, her way from work did indicate Occasionally I think of things When a cold hard bell inside me rings Just in time I can pull the blind and shut it from my mind This cigarette I smoke...Learn More

Light up a candle, think about flame Hang out the washing, think about rain Look at the doormat to see if there's post Nothing for breakfast, just tea and cold toast Thinking of everyday things Everything swings Waiting for Christmas to see what it sends Look in the library to see what it lends Freeing a bird that wanted to fly Laying down...Learn More

A mist comes o'er the shore, from out of the sea's embrace The sun just going down the red without a face A mist falls on the water through the curtain lace [?] anyplace A white to hurt the eyes stretches the fields afar The brightness of the full moon, footprints show where you are The snow becomes a mirror for the northern star [?] there you...Learn More

Moon soaked sky looks down Giving what it has to give Crack of twigs many be poachers A poor soul ain't got long to live Rustle and a crackle And a rattle with a shuffle Oh you listen to the scurry and the hurry Of the furry footed people Through the trees a glimmer And a shimmer on the water And a skimmer making tracks across the pond A hungry...Learn More

Willow tree, I've watched and I've waited Crying forlorn on the bank of a stream For some loss of a friend or lover Hoping that time will intervene Is all that you need just someone to believe Stand under your boughs and reach out a hand The truth of the hand that touches your leaves Release you and end your perpetual stand Willow tree wooden,...Learn More

Got here this morning Leaving on Saturday Two nights in Boston And we're out on the road again While part of yourself stays with friends that you've made Rolling the highways Living the way we do Not truck driving men But only half of the gigs, the show Makes London to Glasgow, seem like down the road you know But we're out on the road That's...Learn More
