shot in the head

From the album Headshot Dec 2019

Well they tell you it will all be groovy

But you know its a disaster movie

You know they're lying 'cause their lips are moving

Smooth operators, rigging the papers

Spinning stories, well it's just telling porkies

A sleight of hand while they sell you their scam, they say

"We're on your side" while they're bleeding you dry

Look the other way, just look the other way

Out go the lights (we pray, we pray)

Well be alright (charade, charade)

All worth the cost (we pay, we pay)

Keep a stiff upper lip things were worse in the Blitz

I didnt vote for this, nobody asked for this

Theres something rotten in the body politic

Nobody ratified this act of suicide

A shot in the head, a shot in the head.

Truth is relative, not an imperative

They tell you what they need, and hope that you dont see

You're being groomed being played for a dope

They've got your number and they wont let you go

And its all about the view and the angle

You need perspective if you want to untangle

The lies from the truth, the chaff from the wheat

See the wood for the trees, see their hypocrisy

Out go the lights (we pray, we pray)

Well be alright (charade, charade)

All worth the cost (we pay, we pay)

Keep a stiff upper lip things were worse in the Blitz

I didnt vote for this, nobody asked for this

Theres something rotten in the body politic

Nobody ratified this act of suicide

A shot in the head, a shot in the head.

Strong and stable

They saw you coming yeah they sold you a pup

Told you things will be better but they're stitching you up

And you can't change your mind, there's no way to rewind

You lost get over it. You lost get over it

So just keep grinning keep your eyes on the prize

As we sink to our knees in the sludge and the slime

If you think this is winning then I've got some bad news:

We've been sold down the river and we're massively screwed

Out go the lights (we pray, we pray)

Well be alright (charade, charade)

All worth the cost (we pay, we pay)

Keep a stiff upper lip things were worse in the Blitz

I didnt vote for this, nobody asked for this

Theres something rotten in the body politic

Nobody ratified this act of suicide

A shot in the head, a shot in the head.

I didnt vote for this, nobody asked for this

Theres something rotten in the body politic

Nobody ratified this act of suicide

A shot in the head, a shot in the head.

island monkey

From the album Headshot Dec 2019

Washed up on the shore, there's a

New kid in town, we've not

Seen the like before, it's a

Mysterious new species

Brought here by stange currents

Across the endless water

Drifting for days and months

Until the sea disgorged you

Still waters teeming with

Life in the petri dish

It's not my destiny

To be an island monkey

There's a bigger world and I

Need to escape, find a

Way to get away from this

Prison containing me

Building a boat gonna

Float off into the sunset

Sailing for new shores and

Looking for new adventures

Still waters teeming with

Life in the petri dish

It's not my destiny

To be an island monkey

Find a better place, make a

New life with new meaning

Riding on the waves 'til I

Can see the coast again

Journey to new places

Experience a sense of

Wonder at strange vistas

A whole new world before me

Still waters teeming with

Life in the petri dish

It's not my destiny

Not my society

Finding a place where there's

Nobody judging me

It's not my destiny

To be an island monkey

It's not my destiny

To be an island monkey

It's not my destiny

To be an island monkey

It's not my destiny

To be an island monkey

avalanche

From the album Headshot Dec 2019

A take a take a take a

Breath and just think for a moment

About the consequence

Of the words that you're throwing

About their resonance

One stone can start a landslide

And as the landslide magnifies

You'll never stop the avalanche

A make a make a make a

Play for the radical voters

Swing sharply to the right

But beware of the backlash

When they find out you've lied

One stone can start a landslide

And as the landslide magnifies

You'll never stop the avalanche

And if you want to start a

War then you're heading the right way

Divide and conquer plan

Drive a wedge through the country

Destroy the Union

I hear a humming sound

It's Churchill underground

Rotating rapidly

Turning in disbelief

As you read from the thesis

Of his great nemesis and

Endanger years of peace

For your pathetic needs

A take a take a take a

Breath and just think for a moment

About the consequence

Of the words that you're throwing

About their resonance

Standing upon the edge of

A daunting precipice with

No way of knowing what you'll

Find on the ground below you

And if you drag us with you

Slipping and sliding downhill

The rocks will fall upon you

You'll never stop the avalanche

you make me

From the album Headshot Dec 2019

I was a broken human, was going crazy

Consumed with self destruction, despair and envy

I never thought that I could be suicidal

But I stood on the cliff and contemplated the abyss and saw

There's always more

An open door

A ray of light

You make things right

You make me feel

You make the blood pump in my broken heart

You're all I think of when we're far apart

You give me goosebumps up and down my spine

Got to make you mine I've got to make you mine all mine

And I can still recall that auspicious time when

You first appeared upon my event horizon

As I was dragged toward the edge of the black hole

You started talking to me, you gave me new hope

And so I set a course, escape trajectory

To clear the gravity that was pulling on me and to soar

Through space and time

Toward your light

Your burning heat

You make me

Feel alive again

You make me

Feel alive again

No looking backward now I'm approaching light speed

Racing across the cosmos, to feel you white heat

And I just cannot wait to be in your embrace

To feel your arms around me, to see your face and to be sure

That you are mine

For all of time

As stars collide

I close my eyes

I make a wish

I feel your kiss

Upon my soul

And I am whole

You make me feel

You make me

rapture

From the album Headshot Dec 2019

Book a place at the after party

With the high and mighty

With the holy rollers

Gotta save your soul cause

Gabriel has got his

Armour on he's got his

Flaming sword prepared to

Do the Lord's work its the

End of everything

Angels beat their wings

Cleansing fire and death

Better save your breath, hail the second son

When the rapture comes

Take a seat at the victors' table

While you are able to

Buy yourself safe passage

Give us your assets

Jesus loves it best when

You divest yourself of

All that useless cash to

Let you pass into the

Kingdom of the sky

While those sinners fry

Look who's laughing now

Nearly had a cow, hail the second son

When the rapture comes

Back a team, show me your commiment

Before the worlds end

If you pick the right side

You could still avoid the genocide

When the holy throng

Come down to get it on

Make sure you're devoted

And your ass is teflon coated

Dont be stupid come and join us

Christian soldiers marching to the

End of everything

Angels beat their wings

Cleansing fire and death

Better save your breath, hail the second son

When the rapture comes

free your mind

From the album Headshot Dec 2019

Reach down into the emptiness

Below your conciousness

Behind the painted background

Expose the monsters underneath

The elemental beasts

That keep you from your sleep

The secrets that you

Hide away from the light of the sun

Preserved in darkness

The burden you carry along

Your constant torment

This stone that is dragging you down

And stopping you from

Breathing - it’s suffocating

Feeling - you're paralysed and

Your mind - it needs to be free

Unchained from the poisonous memories

Your heart - it needs to beat without

Constraint from your hideous history

It's time to open up and

Free your mind

There is a light, there is a star

A beacon in the dark

To help you navigate

The road, to reach your goal

Pick up your feet don't miss a beat

When things are looking bleak

When all your demons scream

When everything just

Seems to come to a brutal end

When you can't find a friend

Seems like there's no reason to live

The edge of the abyss

It's a long way down to the ground

And falling might be bliss

Stay strong - and look around you

Keep faith - and find the way to

Free your mind - it needs to fly

Away from the poisonous alibis

Your heart was made to beat

To feel alive, to feel the heat

It's time to open up and

Free your mind

Plain sailing, skipping like a stone

Upon the waves below

Above the raging

Waters

You cannot change what came before

But you can plot a course

To bring you in to port

To find a sheltered

Fortress down on the rocky shoreline

A salvation station

Safe harbour, a place to rest your

Broken bones, your battered soul

Find peace give your mind release

Relax and breathe in deep

So much to live for

Free your mind - it needs to fly

Away from the poisonous alibis

Your heart was made to beat

To feel alive, to feel the heat

It's time to open up and

Free your mind

gone gone gone (holiday song)

From the album Headshot Dec 2019

Touchdown, I've landed on my feet

High fives to everyone I meet

New day and everything is sweet

Come here and drink a beer with me

Let's celebrate this liberty

On holiday and feeling fine and free

There's nothing better than to take a ride

Without a care beneath the sun

There's nothing you can do to break my stride

I'm high on life, I'm having fun, nothing but blue sky the clouds have

Gone gone gone x 3

Wake up at seven then I sleep

Until eleven dreaming deep

Nowhere to go, nothing to

Keep me from my bed

Get up and welcome in the light

Throw back the curtains and decide

Exactly how I'm going to

Waste my time today

Jump on the bus and head down to the town

I like to watch the people run

While I am sitting at a bar and sipping sangria

I'm high on life, I'm having fun, nothing but blue sky the clouds have

Gone gone gone x 6

If only life could be like this

To have the freedom to exist

Wiithout a worry or a frown

Just watching as the world goes round

But it is over all too soon

It's time to pay the piper's tune

The truth is nothing comes for free

And you must face reality

But until then I'm soaking up the sounds

And drinking cider in the sun

Let's grab another round before they bring the curtain down

I'm high on life, I'm having fun, nothing but blue sky the clouds have

Gone gone gone x 9
