Mass Destruction
My dad came into my room holding his hat I knew he was leaving, he sat on my bed told me some facts, son. I have a duty, calling on me You and your sister be brave my little soldier And don't forget all I told ya Your the mister of the house now remember this And when you wake up in the morning give ya momma a kiss Then I had to say goodbye
In the morning woke momma with a kiss on each eyelid, Even though I'm only a kid Certain things can't be hid Momma grabbed me Held me like I was made of gold But left her inner stories untold I said, momma it will be alright When daddy comes home, tonight

I Want More Part 1
Hey friend your misery bewilders me How come you're never satisfied or gratified Four walls n' a roof, electricity, Stable mind, wife and child, Hot and cold water to run anytime. But still you, whine.
I want more
A bum could rummage through ya bin And live like a king On just one crumb o'ya cake N'ya say ya life needs fulfilling Some would give anything to live like you Shame your mind, don't shine Like your possessions do. Whining, complaining all the time, Don't see no rain on you What side your bread is buttered on If only you knew
What d'ya mean I want more
Yep
I was told as a child, I want more never gets Learned to count my blessings Long before I saw an abacus So what ya family don't speak At least they're alive Show me a man without guilt Or a soul that ain't lied You don't know what ya got Open your eyes, look around Really, hear me you, Ain't got no reason to be down
What d'ya mean I want more
Friend what is it that you seek What is it that you try to find Someday I hope you realized It shined in you all the time. Hills to climb, sights to see, seas to cross, Friends to make, hands to shake, the world is yours, Foods to taste, sounds to hear, love to feel, Seeds to sew, things to know, fish to reel, Space to quiz, stones to lift, life's a gift
What d'ya mean I want more
Yep
What d'ya mean I want more
Yep
I Want More Part 2
[Nina Simone] I want more I want some And then some And do you know what I wanna hear?
I want more I want some more And then some I want more [3x]
You know how I love that stuff I want more [3x]
I want more
I want more The waiting's been so long, so long. I want more Been so long
I want more
More oneness, less categories, Open hearts, no strategies. Decisions based upon faith and not fear. People live right now and right here. I want the wisdom that wise men revere.
I want more [4x]
Love Lives On My Street
A mans life got took away in the city today, they say But never tell how many's been born Inform us of a top notch surgeon's mistake But not the many lives he's saved before Show us starving kids through expensive lenses On a far and distant shore Of which, when sold, could feed a good few Hey mister rich - Why don't you help the poor
Bad news, sad news, never no good news S'all they print and beam Make a child believe that there ain't no love Well hey, love lives on my street.
Love is you, love is me, love is us, love is free Zip up your front all ya want But there's a heart in every seed
Love is you, love is me, love is us, love is free Zip up your front all ya want But there's a heart in every seed
Back up from the crap and the desert of dying sons Me I'm trying to come to terms and learn as one Way to display the way I'm feeling, I need healing From the floor to the ceiling, But I'm not gonna sit n' die while time ticks by I gotta get up, stand up, before I break up into pieces Iron out the creases, Find out what peace is.
Love is you [2x]
Bluegrass
Love is you [2x]
My TV barks at me, from the corner Life on the street is like a sauna, it's too hot. Put bars around what you've got, And the whole city lucky that we ain't been shot. We got full blown decent into argument Here we go. Times to overthrow the parliament, so In these struggled times I wanna know, do you Make a stand or just follow the flow Even though, you know y' leaders are fullup of ego Do we go where the others go and lay low Only moving on someone elses say so I say no! What's in my heart is unexplainable I ain't a fool And happiness is attainable And even on the days when rain will fall I still plan to love and I always will It's a calling from when I rise in the morning This is a love we were born in Ya tap it and it just keep coming and coming and coming
Love is you, love is us, love is ...
Hmm. It's a powerful thing that can make a man sing And bring people together with strength of feeling Now, be connected from the floor to ceiling Ecuador to Beijing become all the same thing Like a movement, love too strong to deny Born to fly but we stay grounded and I don't know why We have a powerful tool, no need to cry With it you separate the truth from a lie The point I wanna make, Is you could never escape from your fate, The mistake is to take without giving. So, break the tradition. Make a decision, cause no matter how hard you try You're still in prison, If ya born with wings and you never fly Listen, you don't stop, Especially when the going gets rough. That's when it's real And I love that stuff,
Love is you, love is me, love is us, love is free Zip up your front all ya want But there's a heart in every seed
Love is you, love is me, love is us, love is free Zip up your front all ya want But there's a heart in every seed
And I love that stuff [2x]
Miss U Less, See U More
O Woman
I love the way you're so deliberate, How you light your cigarette Head on one side as you pull, you look almost regal. I'm digging it, on your mobile, one eye closed Blue smoke curling out your nose Wearing one of my shirts and what some call panty hose Cause you look wicked in scanty clothes, Long legs like an antelope You're my antidote to city life, my pretty wife Hooked up the year before Together thirteen outta twenty four And you would never guess I wanna miss you less and see you more, See you more, see you more, see you more
And when I kiss you I'm never sure How do I get to miss you less and see you more?
Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better! Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better! Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better! Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better!
I can gauge your mood, from your approach to food You use ya rude red shoes to accessorize your attitude Desensitized to my roving eyes, and ready smile I get loving that's versatile, Worth that extra smile lying next to me Your textured voice whispering, I'm listening with my whole skin Holding onto the moment for all its worth How could I continue to be the sky without my earth
And when I kiss you, I'm never sure, And when I kiss you, I'm never sure, And when I kiss you, I'm never sure, How do I get to miss you less and see you more?
Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better! Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better! Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better! Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better!
No Roots
My love is generations old, I was there when trees died as the world went cold Still there when my people were bought and sold What's going on? What's going on?
Your love is on a grand scale Mine is in the detail Your love is to change the world We just want to have to hold
Two hearts, both forgiving Two ways to see the same thing One house there's room for all We just want to have to hold [2x]
No roots, no tree, no family, no me
Our first fuck was more planning than luck I had a deep understanding of what makes you (hot) I did my homework till my dome hurt, I was a stone flirt Hustling for some prone work, and I don't stop I knew that you were good for me, You 'n I fit together so beautifully But only for three years were we in harmony
I've ended up part you, part me, Love that we agree, not be ugly And now that we're free to create our own destiny You will always be a friend to me My love persists over land and sea, through centuries I'll fill you up like rice and peas,
Like the breeze, Cool ya skin, fill your hair, Even when I'm not there. Like the breeze, Cool ya skin, fill your hair, Even when I'm not there. Like the breeze, Cool ya skin, fill your hair, Even when I'm not there. Like the breeze, Cool ya skin, fill your hair, Even when I'm not there.
Swingers
We're floating from right to bright news [3x] Making sips of your pop skin
All I need to know it What more I have to do
All I need to know it What more I have to do
What do you want?
It's been so long [2x] Without this feeling It's been so long
Everything Will Be Alright
Should you hear somebody cry, "The end is nigh", Don't you buy that line. Tomorrow's always yesterday Love's yet to have it's day and you've got all the time Planes crashing, trains crashing people dropping bombs, Nothing new, what go come around now Child it won't be long.
Keep keeping up, Everything will be alright tomorrow Keep keeping
Hey you yeah you don't let it get to you, stressing you It's what they want you to do, Smile a while even though it hurts Even though it hurts Come on let them know they'll be no breaking you Love's gonna come around again, And again and again and on, Nothing new that go come around now child it won't be long.
Keep keeping up, Everything will be alright tomorrow Keep keeping
What About Love
Come on [3x]
I know you so intimately Anger and misery The reason for my heart's fragility How will it be if you simply set me free Restore my ability, to hold my head high To speak only truth where I used to lie Goodbye to the enemy, it's been too long Come on
What about love? [5x]
Come on
I know you so intimately Your heady sensuality The reason for my heart's fragility How will it be if you simply come back to me Restore my stability Take your fill of me Finally in step like the military And just as strong, it's been so long Come on
What about love? [5x]
In The End
My baby was born in a bed With white sheets, machines and heat Traveled home in a car to a three room nest, eats and sleeps Laminate flooring to crawl on, TV, Talks, starts to walk, amongst love and security. Goes to school, learns to read and write Probably follows a team with his friends And gets to ride the train, Fall in love, probably fly on a plane Get to work all week and spend what he earns On the high street He's got doctors, nurses, fireman, churches, Kindergarten, wedding bells and jet black hearses Passport, bankcard, maybe his own yard Locks and alarms, trinkets and charms, Maybe a baby in his arms
My baby was born on his knees One of poverty 's offspring Came into the world coughing, Already full of mother's disease Went back to a flat, with no gas, no cash, Rapped in a duvet full of cigarette ash, Mama can't get no sleep, Baby never quite get enough to eat. Goes to school, learns to steal and fight, Probably form a team with his friends, Go steam those trains Fall in love and never trust nobody again Gets to work all week standing on the high street for Joe, Hustling blow, hustling blow.
