Bluesman
He's just
Any old man
In any old bar
With a guitar
Then a drunk
Comes up and say's
Play us a barre
Every line on his face
Is a hook
For a book
Every crease in his neck
Is for the pain
He had to take
So he didn't care
About some young drunk
He just pulled up a chair

For Paul Blackburn
They set you up
to throw away the key
They said,
you tried to kill a kid
They said,
someone had to pay the price
So they took twentyfive years of your life
Put you in with,
Murderers and peadophiles
Couldn't they see
These wasn't your kind
The pain and the nightmares
that never fade
The feeling of distrust
The feeling of disgust
The feeling of shame
at a world that could do this

A4e (work programme)
They get in your head
they are like an organization
of death
They can use you
they can abuse you
they can do whatever
they like to you
You've got to do
whatever they say
or they'll stop your pay
They can send you to places
you don't need to go
They can make you do courses
you don't need to do
You can go for a job interview
then they say,

Oh My Love
Oh my love
I see you so near
But our love
Can never be
Our worlds can never meet
They will never let us be
The culture of yours
The evil of mine
The colour of your skin
The pailness of mine
Should not matter
In the love of two minds
God let us be
To love who we love
Can't you see
It was meant to be

In Chains
Daddy why do they keep you in chains
Why won't you come home
Their going to send me away
Why do they keep you in chains
Son I killed a man
Cut him down dead
Watched his life float away
Now I got to pay
For what I've done
I hope you will forgive me
I will always love you
But now you must forget me
You've got a new family now
Oh god I miss my boy
God keep him safe
Don't blame him for what I've done

Child Of My Life
Child of my life
Close your eyes
Sleep tight
No one can hurt you
Your in heaven now
Where the angels
Will love you
Child of my life
How I miss you
Each day that goes by
I miss you even more
But I know the angels
Will love you
Child of my life

I'll Change For You
I know I said somethings
that maybe I shouldn't have said that day
But maybe we're both to blame
Maybe it's the only way
I know how to love
When you walked out the door
with the tears of my life
in your eyes
I wanted to comfort you
But I didn't know the words
to say to you
But stand by me my love
and I'll change for you

Dreams Of A Child
I was just a kid
In love with you
I couldn't sleep
For thinking of you
You never hurt me
You never sent me away
You always loved me
In your own special way
I was a child in madness
Violence and sadness
But you showed me the way
To love one day
I thought I loved you
I thought you loved me
I guess it was
Just the tears of a child

Child In Your Arms
Child in your arms
Will always love you
Child in your arms
Will always love you
I know it's hard to understand
Why I was taken from your hands
One day we'll meet again
Mother and father hand in hand
Child in your arms
Will always love you
Child in your arms
Will always love you
Pick a star in the sky
And see the twinkle in my eye
