It’s 1 am in the morning,
And the resident DJ takes his stand.
Lasers and shiny people
All looking for Euphoria.
...

Sitting on a slow train-watching the grey sky
I smell your closeness as you take a seat close by
And soon I fantasize over your reflection
You don't see my advances of deception
...

Ooh – I am in love with Ravi Shankar’s daughter
And she doesn’t even know

Do you think her mother knows what she brought us
...

Daily grind, daily grind
Plays around with my troubled mind
Daily grind, daily grind
Waiting for the clock to chime
...

I thought the sobbing so sweet the day that I had to say goodbye
Now I am in paradise alone it’s those tears that really make me cry
Perfume in the air from flowers I cannot name
Birds on my balcony that I don’t need to tame
...

TEMPUS FUGIT - TIME STOPS


Time stopped the moment I saw you
...

Have you ever had a friend who is always near?
Who makes life’s little problems perfectly clear?
Have you ever had a love that made you feel like a king?
Who makes the heart in you sing?
...

The rain is really pouring now
On the streets of London Town

The lightning strikes the fields of gold
...

...

The moon illuminates the clouds with magnesium threads
They drift by at the speed of the rushing wind
Perfume from exotic blooms hang in the ether like a fine silk veil
Sea flavoured water warms the coral sands lapping repeatedly like a dogs tongue on
...

I catch myself going back into your room to hear you breathe
I yearn for the sun to come up so I can see what you can see
In your presence I can be all that I can be
And all that I want to be – can you see?
...

His mind starts to forget as the vine takes its hold
Today is the day that she replaces his band of gold
Change the subject before spitefulness takes hold
And the reality of loneliness takes hold
...

Proudly lead me to the seat of your father
Suggesting the majesty of what is to come
Straight lines of fir framing a master
Forever the monument to my old chums
...

Miles and miles of shimmering sea
The only company the dolphins have - is me
I am not sad - I guess now I am free
To do want I want - to be me
...

Another princess has died
The news flash on the TV says
Part of the legacy has died
Will things ever be the same?
...

You say I am not responsible
You say that I don’t care
How can you know what I am feeling?
When all you do is stare
...

One morning the world looked different
The sky had lost all it’s light
Everything looks different thanks to
- the voice in my dream last night
...

The orchard grows more dense with cloud that breaks away
On the horizon a steeple that points to a new way
The groaning apple tree, burdened with her fruit
The wind whistles through her like natures own fruit
...

Another Species of bird went extinct today
Cries from a polar bear as she watches her home melt away
The bleaching corals of far away shores
That’s a strange tasting soup – can I have some more?
...

Making dragons from the clouds as they float above our beds
The shimmering reflection from the pool on the parasols shading our heads
Earned laziness replaces the daily grind
Distant memories of a noisy life left far behind
...
