All You Want

BE FREE

Be free with your sensuality
Wake up to the possibilities
Be true to your own abilities
Accept your desirability
Just give it a try suck it and see
Get out and talk to people honestly
Let go of all your anxiety
You can let it go and let it be

And darling don't you know it don't bother me
When I dream about defying gravity
And all of the people said to me
You can let it go and let it be

Since we have been going steadily
My head has been spinning headily
My heart has been waiting readily
My life has become incredibly
So honey are you gonna take care of me
and still let me live independently?

Because I can't sleep at night and it don't seem right
that I'm so uptight since you left me on that flight
All I do is write at the speed of light

BREATHING

When the river gets wide and my spirit gets higher
I feel I'm alive and I never get tired
Little pushes, no rushes, time to understand
It's all good things from here on in
Move over here I am

Suddenly I'm breathing
You're all I ever thought worth believing in
Suddenly I'm feeling that everything I've ever wanted has come

As restlessness grows inside my head
I don't know - should I go or stay with you instead
Hot fire in the cold snow or a cool breeze over tropical land
There's no contest on where I stand
oh darling understand

Loving you is like breathing
You're all I ever thought worth believing in
Suddenly I'm feeling that everything I've ever wanted has come

Been all round the world trying to get inspired
but there was a hole, something missing inside
so I wait here with you for the flame to get fired

Suddenly I'm breathing
You're all I ever thought worth believing in
Suddenly I'm feeling that everything I've ever wanted has come

WINTER

Winter’s broken devastation now looks like spring time decoration
Broken twigs hang down from trees
Like ornaments they swing in the breeze

And oh my soul what I have found
an open space where trees abound
So I run free and let my spirit sore up towards the sky for you and I

How can I want somebody else and still want you?
How can I let this all go thinking of all the troubles you’ve pulled me through?

It’s gorgeous outside but still the folks at work will stay in
Wishing they were out there, befriending their complaining and not knowing how to shine

And I’m still going round in circles wondering who are you to me, how did I get here and can I live my life without you and still be all right?

How can I want somebody else and still want you?
How can I let this all go thinking of all the troubles you’ve pulled me through?

DOWN

I am crazy, I'm a little unsure, I am foolish and I don't know what for, I'm a rescue squad that never flies down, I'm your best friend who's there to the end and never comes around
I don't want to sit around waiting for the ceiling to cave in

Down down you're dragging me down
Down down you're dragging me down

I am ecstatic, I am petrified, I don't know where I am but it's not here all the time
I feel like a dum kid on a pointless paper chase
When the rain sets in I run on in to the only place that keeps me safe
and I don't want to be a slave to all the stubborn time we waste

Down down you're dragging me down
Down down you're dragging me down
Down down you're dragging me down
Down down you're dragging me down

So I'm moving out and I'm moving on and I'm getting down and I'm feeling strong and I don't know quite what this feeling is but I'm hoping for something more than this and I don't think you understand how foolish were the things you did

Down down you're dragging me down
Down down you're dragging me down
Down down you're dragging me down
Down down you're dragging me down

ALL YOU WANT

He's gonna rise at about 11 or 10
He'll get some food, some coffee, shower, call a friend
I'll get a call from him and we'll meet at JM's
So he'll walk into town and down the hill again

He'll walk through parts of town he's never seen before
Over the bridge and past the church to JM's door
It's such a lovely feeling adventuring alone
and have something to tell all of the gang back home

All you want is in these things
Better to dwell on positive themes
You'll remember how it goes
in the chorus everyone knows

Sometimes we hate the bind of material things
We want to pack our backs again and do our thing
and sometimes you look just like me when I was free
riding on a bicycle by the sea

I think about the friends I made there now and then
I'm praying for the winds to find me there again
So we can glide through life and journey and escape
Out there on a limb and feeling wide awake

All you want is in these things
Better to dwell on positive themes
You'll remember how it goes
in the chorus everyone knows

Back home the same old things you fight every day that bore you
will make you sad and think that you don't belong here
So lets go out and drink and try to take life more slowly
and we'll remember the times when we'd smile and say hi to the people around stroll through the town 'till the sun goes down

All you want is in these things
Better to dwell on positive themes
You'll remember how it goes
in the chorus everyone knows

BRAVADO

Sometimes I think there wouldn’t be half as many broken hearts if people were more self respecting courteous conscionable brave and truthful, but then that’s a great big bite of a rotten apple that I shouldn’t discuss ‘cus I’ll just get myself in trouble

I want to know why so many men think all they have to do is come I want to know why so many people read the sun I want to know what happens when we die I want to know why that paper blowing reminds me of the endless empty cry of some people inside but they never get to say it

I want to know why the trash is collected right now when I’m finally nearly asleep and a sweet dream began to creep just before that nasty crash and flash bumped me back into real life where I live so far away and never stop by to say hi to myself or anybody else

Come on big boy with your bravado
Make some room for honesty in your cargo

I do believe you can touch someone sometimes a whole bunch of people and swim in the same water and feel more yourself for knowing somebody else
So I want to know why that’s so elusive. I want to know why some people are abusive I want to know if there’s a way to stop that Why it sometimes just means we have to do the same thing back then we are the victims of our own judgement yet we don’t know it yet ‘till it comes down heavy and felt in the belly

I’ve got so much music in me that I haven’t heard yet and so many blessed sins that I’ve yet to regret but I don’t indulge regret except maybe that I haven’t been to bed with you yet

Come on big boy with your bravado
Make some room for honesty in your cargo
Come on big boy with your bravado
Make some room for the real thing in your cargo

POTENT MORE ME

Frankly I am charmed by your gentle nature
Thankfully I’m unarmed for the onslaught of you and I’m waiting very patiently to be run through

You caught me off my guard with your sense of humour
I like the bump kick-start when you make me laugh and the temperature tells me that we aren’t done by half

Who said it wasn’t right to be alone in a classroom always dreaming
They said it wouldn’t be all right but they weren’t in my head when I was scheming
I’m going somewhere good and somehow you confirm it to me
Now that I’m understood by you I am a potent more me

So I wait for all your curtains to come down
In the morning I always love to be around
And if we don’t wake up at least we’re safe and sound

TURN IT AROUND

When she woke up she felt gorgeous so she went to work wearing her best suit
She's never ever gonna get changed she wants to stay that way forever
Perhaps she'll find out when she wakes up tommorrow
She doesn't want to get changed

They used to knock on the front door when they wanted to come out of the rain
Soaking wet hair and make a cup of tea and tell me about your day
Do you want to rest your feet?
Are you coming back next week?

But she never asks them to 'cause they aint the kind that do

If you don't want to get up stay sitting down
You're walking a fine line, It's OK to take time
Be honest with yourself there's a lot of it around and you know you can turn it around

So she was not the shoulder bag girl you thought she was
but she was good for me, I just didn't realise she could get hurt

If you don't want to get up stay sitting down
You're walking a fine line, It's OK to take time
Be honest with yourself there's a lot of it around and you know you can turn it around

ONLY NEVER

The futility of my choice is listening hard to all the voices that confuse me
Give me lists of sins from which to spin ignore my skin is too small for me
Gross me out, turn me off, you're the ones make life too tough

I've scratched the back of every attack that's fallen on my track as poison arrows
When I'm done you'll run home, summing up I'm just one who doesn't like the shadows but let me move inside of you
Give me a moment to be true

Only never let me down
You've got me mother
Only never put me down
You've got me brother

We live in a warm cold bubble,only trouble's gonna burst it for us somehow
And in your chest there lies a nest of emptiness that's full up to the brim now
You can take it out on me
Give me a moment to be free

Only never let me down
You've got me brother
Only never put me down
You've got me lover

ON MY WAY TO ANYWHERE

On my way to anywhere and the sun is rising on over fields
where I walked as a child
All the cars and roads there
all the tears with friends of mine
I can see them all from this window pane

I call out,
when's this mood out?
Probably now

All the falling playing cards, all the roses we sent cascading down
fall upon the rail track on which I ride
Wonder if you think of me
Ever wonder where I am?
How I only wanted you by my side

I call out
with my arms out
I want to heal this doubt
tell me how
