Reminiscence Road

Winter Came and winter went
We stayed in and kept warm
Spring Days the flowers scent
Feeling glad that we were born
We were young we had our dreams
Who knew what lay ahead?
Beginning end and in-between
Laughs laughed and tears shed
Shifting sands, moving time
Seasons come and years go
But we still spend our days
In Reminiscence Road
Food was fresh the air was clean
Summers seem to last forever
We worked hard we had our play
We took life at our leisure
Those times are past us now
We look back on days gone by
The memories remain somehow
Sunny days and clear blue sky
Shifting sands, moving time
Seasons come and years go
But we still spend our days
In Reminiscence Road
There was a place I used to go
Where people seemed so kind
These days it’s hard to know
Why it was left behind
From the air it seems the same
The distance helps the lie
Shows where the towering flame
Meets the blood red sky
Shifting sands, moving time
Seasons come and years go
But we still spend our days
In Reminiscence Road

Don't Walk Away
03:14
|

The time to cry is gone
So dry your tears
Think about moving on
Your so called friends have let you down
They always will
You don't need them around
Today's a brand new day
So make that start
Look for a better way
I know it's hard for you to see
But just for once
Have some trust in me
So open your ears
There's things I want you to hear
Hey don't walk away
I've got something to say
And I think you should listen now
Hey don't walk away
I've got something to say
And you really should listen now
Don't forget how much you've got
What you really need
It's not a lot
If the world sees you differently
Don't fret or cry
Fight vanity
Believe me when I say
I only want to keep you safe
Hey don't walk away
I've got something to say
And I think you should listen now
Hey don't walk away
I've got something to say
And you really should listen now
I know it's hard but that's ok
Tomorrow's easier than today
Hey don't walk away
I've got something to say
And I think you should listen now
Hey don't walk away
I've got something to say
And you really should listen now

Down There
02:56
|

When I woke this morning
Tears were in my eyes
I dreamed that I saw Jesus
He was standing by my side
He said what are you doing boy?
Do you feel my pain?
I've told you many times before
I'll tell you once again
You'll never get to heaven
Unless you really care
If you don't get to heaven
Boy you're going down there
So I packed my suitcase
Started to drive
I didn't know which way to go
Just glad to be alive
I drove past the devil's gates
There he was inside
I said come on now Lucifer
I'll take you for a ride
You'll never get to heaven
Unless you really care
If you don't get to heaven
Boy you're going down there
I went out in the country
To see if anybody cared
The farmer and the banker
Were waiting for me there
I said now listen to me
I've a message for you both
They ignored me and carried on
Praying for economic growth
You'll never get to heaven
Unless you really care
If you don't get to heaven
Boy you're going down there

Gonna need a roof
Over your head
Gonna need a chair
Gonna need a bed
Gonna need some heat
Gonna need some chill
Gone need a doctor
When you get ill
This ain't luxury
This ain't greed
It's what you need
It's what you need
Good need some food
Gonna need some drink
Gonna need a book
To make you think
Gonna need some love
Gonna need a friend
Someone to help you
Right to the end
This ain't luxury
This ain't greed
It's what you need
It's what you need
Gonna need to walk
Gonna need to ride
Gonna need to talk
Gonna need to hide
Gonna need some fun
Gonna need some peace
Gonna need to run
Get some release
This ain't luxury
This ain't greed
It's what you need
It's what you need
Gonna need to pray
Gonna need some hope
Gonna need some water
Gonna need some soap
Gonna need to laugh
Gonna need to cry
Gonna need to live
Gonna need to die
This ain't luxury
This ain't greed
It's what you need
It's what you need
It's what you need

Mining Man
03:20
|

This winter’s so harsh
Too cold to breathe
I hold my hands to the fire
Coughing gets worse most every day
I must battle on
Show them I’m strong
I’m a mining man
A mining man
Living my life underground
I’m a mining man
A mining man
Praying I’ll come home safe and sound
There’s 4 kids at home
Needing feeding
A baby that cries all day long
There’s no luxury
Just more drudgery
But for them I have to keep on
Last week they laid off a hundred
The month before many more
We work as we should
But it don’t do no good
When the company shows you the door
The lift gates bang
We start to go down
Begin another shift
Eight hours in the damp
With just light from me lamp
Before I get back in that lift

The World Turns
03:04
|
|||
The first ray of light
The first song of dawn
The first sound we hear
When a new child is born
The start of a day
The end of a night
The touch of a hand
The stars shining bright
And the world turns
Turning and turning
And the world turns
And the world turns
Turning and turning
And the world turns
To stand and to fight
To love and to hold
To dream and to dare
To stand strong and bold
A body decays
Now clost to the grave
Somebody's scared
Someone is brave
The grass in the fields
The sand on the shore
The tide flowing in
The vast ocean's roar
All that is said
All that is done
Is all cast away
Through the power of the sun

Little Priestess
02:29
|

Doorbell ring, a windy night
You're buttoned up to the cold
You tell me things, put me right
Try to get me in the fold
You'll give me life, change my world
You've got everything I need
You leave pamphlets, book a call
Arrange a time for a meet
Hey Hey little priestess
Won't you please save me
I know you can make me grow in your company
I meet your friends, say hello
Try to keep it all sweet
They look o.k, a little weird
I guess that happens in the streets
They like to smile, all the time
With their mouths but not their eyes
They ooze grace, faith and goodness
I'm sure they're very wise
Hey Hey little priestess
Won't you please save me
I know you can make me grow in your company
I'm caught between the devil and deep blue sea
I was lost till you came along and rescued my eternity
You ask for cash, every month
To keep things ticking on
So I'll leave you to your prayers
It's time that I was gone
Hey Hey little priestess
Won't you please save me
I know you can make me grow in your company

Night Drive in London
04:38
|
|||
Boarded up flats on estates where gangs go to fight
Homeless asleep in shop doorways bed down for the night
Takeaway drivers feed armchair football fans
On line shopping in Tesco delivery vans
Driving at night through London Town
Driving at night through London Town
Black cabs with yellow for hire signs in the rain
The night bus to Clapham south of the river again
All night petrol with windows to pay for your fuel
Groups on street corners with kids trying to look cool
Driving at night through London Town
Driving at night through London Town
City workers asleep on trains to the coast
Sorters and porters prepare to deliver the post
Tube trains rattling through metropolitan sprawl
Bentleys in Knightsbridge reduced to a crawl
Driving at night through London Town
Driving at night through London Town

Choices
03:35
|
|||
The lies we tell the truth denied
Those in need as we walk by
These are the choices we make
The songs we sing the books we’ve read
The thoughts fermenting in our head
These are the choices we make
When we choose, what do we lose?
What do we gain?
These are the choices we make
Those we love and those we hate
The slamming doors the open gate
These are the choices we make
The dreams we dream our future plans
Is destiny within our hands?
These are the choices we make
When we choose, what do we lose?
What do we gain?
These are the choices we make
Do you teach your children right from wrong?
Do they have a home where they belong?
These are the choices we make
Can you feel someone else’s pain?
Would you help them again and again?
These are the choices we make
When we choose, what do we lose?
What do we gain?
These are the choices we make

Quiet Town
02:58
|
|||
The faces seem the same
The days just come and go
In sunshine, rain or snow
The road seems so enticing
You don't care where it leads
This time you'll really leave
You, don't want to stay forever
Don't want to settle down
Living in a quiet town
Walking out of your front door
Along familiar streets
There's no one new to meet
The lonely here beside you
The drinkers in the park
The foxes after dark
On your better days
You say things could be worse
But self-delusion fades
Like a speeding hearse
You, don't want to stay forever
Don't want to settle down
Living in a quiet town
