[Verse 1]
Promise never to let you down
Promise never to walk away
I will stay with you, play on your side
Together you and I always remain
For I have rosy eyes for you
[Verse 2]
Promise never abandon you
Promise never to say goodbye
So reminding you, come what may,
No matter choices choose, or self deny
Know I have rosy eyes for you
[Chorus]
And I will say it loud so you may know
Stand out from the crowd so you may see
I'm always here for you
Know you always part of me
[Verse 3]
Promise never to judgement pass
Promise never to path prescribe
Though forget today, hold open door
Remember you are mine and I am yours
And I have rosy eyes for you

Unnecessary Necessity
03:37
|

[Chorus v1]
Unnecessary necessity
Survive to resurrect normality
My frivolous
[Verse 1]
My shop until drop Saturday consumerism
My natural world disconnection
Covid hair style wave good riddance
[Verse 2]
My keeping up with Joneses life, my superficial
My pint inside my favourite pub
My cosy social isolation
[Chorus v2]
Unnecessary necessity
Survive just to regress, lesson unlearn
Progress undo
[Verse 3]
My non-essential fundamental pet addictions
My blame-game playing parliamentary
Finger pointing politicians
[Chorus v3]
Unnecessary necessity
Survive just to resume my prejudice
Other dismiss
[Instrumental]
[Chorus v4]
Unnecessary necessity
Survive to keep alive my us and them
My might is right
[Verse 3]
Drop bomb on Palestine again in name of defence
Brand anti-semite who complain
Thank God for covid vaccination ;)
[Spoken word outro]
You can tell COVID's on the back foot. The politicians are bickering again, ASBOs are on the rise, air pollution is back up, and the bombs are falling on Palestine. What are we so keen to return to? Today we may have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to massively reset what we consider important. Look sharp, that opportunity window is closing fast!

Intuition Suspicion
03:18
|
|||
[Chorus]
Suspicion ... sign-pointing, gut-feeling
Bell-ringing, rat-smelling suspicion
Consumed by uncertain certainty
Suspicion / sixth sense intuition
[Verse 1]
Intuition something's up
Just 'xactly what cannot say
Intuition something's wrong
Yet finger on cannot put
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Intuition conditioned
Believable prejudice
Or intuition E.S.P.
Dependable, insightful ... take your pick
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Intuition - God's eye view
Decide certain your truth true
Impose upon everyone
Defer to yours presumption
[Repeat Chorus]

[Verse 1]
Searching for a reason
Something you believe in
Always digging for an answer
Beyond the propaganda
[Verse 2]
Making sense in your brain
Resonates in your heart
Illuminating your dark
My kind of truth ... but
[Chorus]
Do you really wanna know?
Do you really wanna know?
Do you really wanna know?
Do you really wanna grow?
[Verse 3]
Living in the moment
Here and now proponent
Always sleeping with the light on
Dreaming you can right wrong
[Verse 4]
Making no excuses
Forgiving all abuses
Owning your convictions
Embracing contradiction ... but
[Repeat Chorus]
[Middle 8]
Even though it won't be easy you know
It ain't easy you see
But still hoping, still praying, believing, keeping faith
[Solo]
[Repeat Chorus x 2]

Verse 1
High on misty mountain
Flying with the fairies
Verse 2
Used to be a thinker
Then you donned a blinker
Verse 3
Organised religion
Free thinking forbidden
Chorus
Climb down from your mountain
Walk amongst us
Step down from your high ground
Talk as equals, free from judgement … yeah
Verse 4
Follow guru blindly
Childlike you remind me
(Rebel)
Verse 5
Once you were the leader
Now the people pleaser
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental
Breakdown
(Rebel, Ha Rebel)
Verse 6
High up in your tower
Gave away your power
(Rebel)
Verse 7
Believing you knew things
Now seems wishful thinking
Rebel, Ha Rebel, Rebel, Ha Rebel …

I know when I'm flying ...
I know when I'm flying high
I know when I'm lying ...
I know when I'm lying low
I'm driving in the zone
I'm in my right brain mode
I know when I'm banging ...
I know when I'm banging on
I know when I'm going ...
I know when I'm going down
I'm merging in the sound
I'm in my right brain mode
I know when I'm running ...
I know when I'm running scared
I know when I'm coming ...
I know when I'm coming back
The truth may not be fact
I'm in my right brain mode

Goddess
05:17

Verse 1
Some just want to believe
Even when they ain't sure
They don't care if it's
True or false any more
Verse 2
Then they argue they're right
Only see black and white
Can't accommodate
Shades of grey in their life
Bridge (v.1)
So if you pass them on the road again
Forgive you jump to concluding they're lost
And don't know what or where or when
Verse 3
Some people live a lie
But they always deny
Dump their stuff on you
When you question their view
Repeat Bridge (v.2)
And when they pass you on the road again
Forgive them jump to concluding you're lost
And don't know who or why or when
Chorus
But when she smiles
We all celebrate it
The way she shines
You better believe it
And when she moves
We see she bewilders all
Verse 4
Some people they pretend
They don't wanna be real
Hear them say it's okay
I just wanna feel
Verse 5
Some people wanna judge
So they discriminate
Right from wrong they believe
They're speaking for God
Bridge (v.3)
And when they pass me on the road again
Forgive them jump to concluding I'm lost
And don't know how or if or when
Repeat Chorus

One Man's Journey
02:38
|
|||
[Verse 1]
I don't believe in karma but divinity expressed
I don't believe in fallen but divinity explored
I don't believe in victim but in never will against
'Surely I'm entitled to my misunderstandings?
... as you are yours?'
[Verse 2]
I don't believe in negative but God is always good
I don't believe in sinner but in guna dark and light
I don't believe in devil but in God misunderstood
'Surely I'm entitled to my misunderstandings?
... after all this is my story'
[Chorus v1]
One man's journey
One man's making sense
One man's certainty
One man's sitting on his fence
[Verse 3]
I don't believe in judgement but in choices God approves
I don't believe in prescribed but in freedom soul to choose
I don't believe in one way but in life goal up to you
'Surely I'm entitled to my misunderstandings?
... after all this is my story'
[Chorus v2]
One man's journey
One man's making sense
One man's carved in stone
One man's sitting on his fence
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
I don't believe in blind faith but in opening one's eyes
I don't believe in dogma but in opening one's mind
I don't believe in other but in everyone divine
'Surely I'm entitled to my misunderstandings?
... after all this is my story'
[Repeat Chorus v1 and v2]

Weighed Baggage Down
02:25
|

[Chorus]
Shock - you are not that God believed
Reset - human being fallible
Weighed baggage down finally see
Yet you soldiered on
[Verse 1]
Dissapointed
My childhood heart
On pedestal I placed you
Could do no wrong - so I believed
[Verse 2]
It must be me
I owned your stuff
Whenever you got angry
Confused my mind - abused my trust
[Repeat Chorus]
... thank you
[Verse 3]
Accept you tried
Suspect you cried
Struggled within - conflicted
Damaged child inside
[Instrumental]
[Repeat Chorus]
... thank you

There Is No Should

Verse 1
Do you really believe
That social norms preserve truth?
That they are more than fleeting?
That they will stay for all time?
Verse 2
Do you really believe
That this is all you can be?
That there's no more than you see?
I think you may-be-ing used
Chorus
For there is no should unless you want it
There is no must unless you choose
There's only stuff they place upon you to serve them
Verse 3
Do you really believe
That businesses care for you?
That governments they should lead?
I think you may-be-ing used
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental
Verse 4
Do you really believe
That religions possess truth?
That they don't want to control?
I think you may-be-ing used
Repeat Chorus
