Positive Spin
Draw the curtains rise and shine
Let the feathered angels sing
Life is cruel sometimes
I need to give this day
A positive spin
Work is work and when there’s none
The day becomes a discipline
It’s ok to come undone
I need to give this day
A positive spin
Keeping house and baking bread
It’s just a state of mind
It’s good to keep the family fed
As long as I can buy the time
When will all this madness end
When will I find peace within
Heavy hearts are hard to mend
I need to give this day
A positive spin

Time On Our Hands
Looking at life through different eyes
With vapour trail free blue blue skies
Few now are driving and fewer will fly
Tell me where do you stand?
I’m for the future, what about you
Reboot, rebuild the world that we knew
To make it better is the best we can do
With time or our hands
Time to give time to receive
Time for truth time to believe
Time to reflect time to plan
Time on our hands
Be a good neighbour, be a good friend
Comfort the meek while the fragile mend
Standing strong we will win again
With time on our hands
Time to give time to receive
Time for truth time to believe
Time to reflect time to plan
Time on our hands
We are guardians of a brand new dawn
We hold the power we will march on
With strength in numbers, we can be strong
With time on our hands
Time to give time to receive
Time for truth time to believe
Time to reflect time to plan
Time on our hands

Watching The Garden Grow
I’m as happy as the day is long
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I’m walking tall and feeling strong
Oh yeah, oh yeah
The sun is coming out to play
Nothing’s gonna spoil my day
I’m watching the garden grow
I’m watching the garden grow
I’m swimming in a sea of bliss
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I’m reeling from a mermaids kiss
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Surf is up so climb aboard
We’ll ride these waves right back to shore
I’m watching the garden grow
I’m watching the garden grow
Sitting in the hot hot sun
Pulling weeds one by one
Sitting in the evening shade
Sipping homemade lemonade
And watching the garden grow
Watching the garden grow
Woo hoo!

Dream On
Hey, it’s just the two of us now
Don’t be shy
Don’t let these opportunities pass you by
Take my hand, come fly with me and
Dream, dream on
Hey, don’t be afraid of fools
Stand your ground
Look them in the eye and take them down
While the world slumbers you can
Dream, dream on.
Taxi cabs, late night fares
Stolen kisses, truth or dare
Promises of coffee and cake
The never ending ebb and flow
The red and green, the stop and go
Can you keep a secret
Can you keep a secret
Hey, it’s just the two of us now
Home and dry
You know we left the rain washed city streets behind
So far behind
Dream, dream on

Dominic why did you break the rules
Dominic why did you take us for fools
Did you really think that
We would never know
Every day sees a change of facts
A brand new story, fancy that
Durhams such a long long way to go
(but it was your mums birthday)
I beg your pardon
What’re you doing in the rose garden
There is nothing you can say
It’s all bullshit anyway
Why did you drive when you were struggling to see
Why did you risk your young family
Barney Castle’s such a long way to go
(but it was your wife’s birthday)
I beg your pardon
I’m sick of seeing you in the rose garden
All we hear from you is
Do as I say, don’t do as I do
Do as I say, don’t do as I do
Do as I say, don’t do as I do
You’re a hypocrite, full of shit
I really hope you choke on it
Set the date, make em wait
Turn up have an hour late
Ignorant, arrogant
Fill the blanks in yerself
Do the right thing and go
Why are you still here
Why are you still here
Why are you still here
Why are you still here

The Ocean
I’ve been stranded on dry land
For such a long, long time
Walking barefoot on the sand
Is just a memory in my mind
I wanna dive into you
Like you were an ocean
Like you were an ocean
Like you were the sea
I wanna dive into you
Like you were an ocean
Let your waves wash over me
I’ve been broken, cast aside
For the sum of my sins
There were times I might have died
As the pain settled in
I wanna dive into you
Like you were an ocean
Like you were an ocean
Like you were the sea
I wanna dive into you
Like you were an ocean
Let your waves crash down on me
Now there is blue as far as I can see
Stretched out in front and behind of me
Tie back the wheel let us circle for a while
Before the sharks hit feeding time
I wanna dive into you
Like you were an ocean
Like you were an ocean
Like you were the sea
I wanna dive into you
Like you were an ocean
Let your waves wash over me
Let your waves come rescue me
Let your waves come crashing down on me
