I was born in a haze of bullets late november late 70's
Never did I want for anything anytime
Never did I crawl down on my knees

I was taught to hold my head up
And my two fists when the time was right
I listened to the clash I loved my brothers
Never hesitated when I had to fight.

I came of age in the early 90's
then the fear start creeping in
fear of success fear of failure
am I better or worse than him

It's getting to the stage, I guess I always knew it would
that I cant walk down my own street
I'm getting death threats here and death threats there
from everyone that I meet

Well, if they knew a thing about me, which they obvously dont
they would not waste their time or their breath
I may be afraid of many things, but I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of...

Death comes crawling all the while

You can stick that dirty needle in your last responsive vein
but don't let it steal the sunshine from your eyes
Bestow upon your family a multitude of pain
but don't let it steal the sunshine from your eyes
You can beg, borrow, steal to pay for your next deal
from a boy in a tracksuit if you really think thats wise
But the one little thing you've got to promise me
Before you leave my side
Don't let it steal the sunshine from your eyes

You can stand alone at christchurch while the wind it hacks your bones
but don't let it steal the sunshine from your eyes
lie so much to all your friends that you're left all alone
but don't let it steal the sunshine from your eyes
worm your way through life living one score to the next
try to find some people with whom you can sympathize
But you will not leave this hospital till you give me your word
Don't let it steal the sunshine from your eyes

Dont let it steal the sunshine from your eyes
Don't let it steal the mischief from your smile
Don't let it plant the seed of blackness deep within your soul
Don't let it steal the sunshine from your eyes
I curse upon the day that I took my eyes off you
And that it took so long for me to realize
But you will not leave this hospital till you give me your word
Don't let it steal the sunshine from your eyes


You can shiver by my graveside with your mind in the brown bag
but dont let it steal the sunshine from your eyes
forget every ounce of dignity son that i thought you had
but dont let it steal the sunshine from your eyes
You were not my only son you were the first of three
and I loved each one of you the same or at least I thought I tried
But you will not leave this hospital till you give me your word
Don't let it steal the sunshine from your eyes

Dont let it steal the sunshine from your eyes
Don't let it steal the mischief from your smile
Don't let it plant the seed of blackness deep within your soul
Don't let it steal the sunshine from your eyes
I curse upon the day that i took my eyes off you
And that it took so long for me to realize
But you will not leave this hospital till you give me your word

Oh lord all this self hating in time becomes a little frustrating
Oh lord send in the angels
Cos I've thrown away whats mine and I want something back

My heart is broken I'm feeling bad
I'm in pieces lord and I'm oh so sad
I wish she was here.

Like any prisoner I'm never free
like johnny told me
you can't put your arms around a memory
so don't even try

Oh lord all this self hating in time becomes a little frustrating
Oh lord send in the angels
Cos i've thrown away whats mine and I want something back

my bones they shake now and I can barely see
Is that any way for a man my age to be
I don't even try

Set me free girl oh set me free
capture my soul again please set me free
lord you gotta help me.

Oh lord all this self hating in time becomes a little frustrating
Oh lord send in the angels
Cos I've thrown away whats mine and I want something back

Oh Gallant men, who are the weakest ones
Oh Gallant men, who are the strongest ones
As we sail out into life
not wondering how we will survive
On the Pirate ship in the Sky.

Pirates are we, pirates are we
Scoundrels of the land and scoundrels of the sea
They sail the salt sea over
for love and satisfaction
But all the while we're dreaming of our homes
wherever they may be
Pirates are we, pirates are we
A thirstier gang of devils you will never sea
We sail the whole world
round and round and round
Just looking for some action
But all the while we're tearful for our homes
wherever they may be

So I bounced in the middle of a leather girls set
and I jumped in a boat and I sailed the whole world over
But all the while we're dreaming of our homes
wherever they may be pirates are we

Oh Gallant men, who are the weakest ones
Oh Gallant men, who are the strongest ones
As we sail out into life
not wondering how we will survive
On the Pirate ship in the Sky.

I heard the bird this morning

I feel the wind is blue

The sun is rising so high

Wan't you this day

I heard the bird this morning

I feel the wind is blue

The sun is rising so high

Wan't you this day

Higher than top class
and touched by grace,
it’s the privilege
like Kings and Queens
walking naked during
lookadaisical dinners
and thru
melancoly Xmas trees.
I’ve been doing nothing at all,
working like a fool,
I feel so high
‘cos this drug’s so fine.
I drove by the river,
stopped by the sea,
looks like too much water
for a man to drink.

I’ve been doing nothing at all,
working like a fool,
I feel so high
‘cos this drug’s so fine.

My Lady Godiva
Meets Lady Magnolia.
La Nina, La Pinta,
La Santa Maria.
Maverick Madona,
Maybelene Melinda,
Big tits of Alabama
Hot chicks from Atlanta.
Doing nothing at  all,
working like a fool,
I feel so fine
cos’ the girls are alright.
Never went to church
but in God I trust know.
Got more passengers
any train can haul.

I’ve been doing nothing at all,
working like a fool,
I feel so high
‘cos this drug’s so fine.

When I woke up this morning
What did I see ?
The prettiest little present underneath the Christmas Tree

Oh mama
What could it be ?
I promised to be good oh oh
Please let it be for me

Oh I'll get down on my knees
Oh please just let it be for me

Like a great big box with shiny ribbon
tied carefully
Come all the way from heaven just to find my Christmas tree

The prettiest little present underneath my Christmas tree
