Early Morning Drive
Let me take you on an early morning drive
To the place that makes you glad to be alive
We’ve got some time to borrow, far from pain and sorrow
We’ll watch the sun come up and leave our cares far behind
Through many windy roads, head out to a beach
Far from the clutching trees way out of reach
Follow the south wind’s calling, to watch the north star falling
Then we’ll make love to the rhythm of the morning breeze

Come Home Baby
Come home baby come
Please don’t leave me forlorn
Come home baby come
Please don’t leave me too long
Everything’s peach when you are around
My ego gets stroked I feel safe and sound
The taste of my tea’s much sweeter and wetter
The sound of your voice just makes me feel better
Since you’ve been gone I’ve been tossing & turning
Sleepless less nights where my heart keeps yearning
You said you’d be away for the only one day only
But even a days way too long
Come home baby come
Please don’t leave me forlorn
Come home baby come
Please don’t leave me too long

I’m Already Gone
No need to bother making that bed
Feel guilty or hang your head
You’ve found your voice and you’ve made the choice
See I’m already gone
Twas a pleasure being of service to you
Good to see that you work things through
There’s no doubt and I’ve seen myself out
You see I’ve already gone
Already gone, down south to a quieter town
Already gone, you don’t need me hanging around
Already gone, no need to fret about me
Already gone, it’s just a case, a case of you being free
No need to bother making that bed
Feel guilty or hang your head
You’ve found your voice and you’ve made the choice
See I’m already gone

New wave Dave
New wave Dave, are you going to a rave
New wave Dave, are you going to a rave
The sun is flying high no ships in the harbor
Old rockers fighting mods with the punks in the parlor
Thru good times bad times bands are getting tight
Fanzines are still our vision and our light
New wave Dave, are you going to a rave
New wave Dave, are you going to a rave
Your the king of culture who the hell ya gonna save
Ya just got the Velvets in 1978
With ya shades & black leather always on the make
Poncing off the girls yeah ya such a fukin fake
New wave Dave, are you going to a rave
New wave Dave, are you going to a rave

McFie
In the deep valley a miner did chip
For the purse of his sweetheart,
through a pain in his hip
He staked the high border then swang till he sobbed
Oh McFie lost his sweetheart to the fear of being robbed
McFie McFie,you ran out on me
My rock my protector oh where must you be?
McFie McFie, I’ll never be free
Till the song of my ghost brings my man back to me
Good intentions were blinded to the perils that sway
And he left her in danger all pining away
Her hearts hope had faded, and life slipped away
When such sweet flowers pass to neglect we must pay
McFie McFie,you ran out on me
My rock my protector oh where must you be?
McFie McFie, I’ll never be free
Till the song of my ghost brings my man back to me

To The One
It all fell away as we stood together
Gripless ivy drained from a loving sun
A silent aside from old tired vampires
Our truth did collide to the core
A rest of sorts through every dimension
The tender Angel of song
Sweet soft light made us gaze to the heaven
Our souls returned to the one
And the fool with the camera working his slime
Against an act of mother nature divine
Protecting our moment’s immense loving light
To the field of forevers that shine
A rest of sorts through every dimension
The tender Angel of song
Sweet soft light made us gaze to the heavens
Our souls returned to the one

Blue Child
It was a blue child, a messenger of song
A blue child, who dreamt all winter long
And the hope that lies within us must be strong
Until the blue child comes along
The blue child, will often walk alone
But how the blue child, can help a soul to grow
Though no-one sees the fear they face in life
Yet in a constant state of grace you'll always find
The bluest of the bluest child

Sweet lady
Sweet lady, stay with me
Let us wander forever free
You’re all in this world that I need
And your heart is as pure as can be
Sweet lady, you set me at ease
For your eyes are so bright and full of peace
To have one friend like you, who can teach me the truth
I am blessed by your light that’s for sure
In your garden I do pray
That the lord protect you in every way
Sharing music and love, with the bright stars above
Yes my heart it smiles for us each day
When we sit by the fire and sing away
In the days which have been granted free and safe
Tiny roof over head, with a warm and cosy bed
We are blessed beyond belief each night and day
Sweet lady, stay with me
Let us wander, forever free
You are all in this world that I need
And your heart is as pure as can be
For my Anna

The Most Peculiar Man
He was the most, peculiar man
He knew his heart, he loved his land
And if by chance you meet this soul unplanned
You’ll know you met the most peculiar man
He had no home, nor goods to sell
He rarely spoke, no prayers to tell
He never took a woman never raised his hand
He truly was the most peculiar man
He was no great singer, not high class winger
No beard like christ, any great height
He would never ransack the graceful church of a woman
Merely light a candle in her then be on his way
He was a most peculiar
He was a most peculiar
He was a most peculiar man

Haunted Highway
On the haunted highway
Where the hobos roam
On the good Lord's bye way
Bye the river of song
There's a lost tribe wandering
Through the mist they go
With their songs and stories
See them wandering home
Bridge
On the haunted highway, time lingers on
On the good Lord's bye way, there's a golden dawn
On the haunted highway, wild flowers keep
To the call of the pilgrim's, eternal sleep
