Monkey Corner 04:44
lyrics
buy track
Plant your roots and spread your seed Fill the world with love not greed What a strange reflection across your face and in your eyes What a strange thought that you can deliver with surprise? There be monkeys in this corner Keep a chimney burning for ya Fill me with your musical spirit Let me hear it from the soul Turn into a song that can touch with my heart And make me feel like i belong Play me your songs and play me your sounds Let me know where we can be bound To sounds of the love That we feel for ever There be monkeys in this corner Keep a chimney burning for ya Mountain birds sing there song They are singing in celebration And in their voice i hear a passion And it will paralyse me where i stand There be monkeys in this corner Keep a chimney burning for ya Play to me with your music Play your music oh so loud Play to me with your music I can’t hear any sounds Except the sounds of love That we feel forever To be true One and all To be true There be monkeys in this corner One and all Keep a chimney burning for ya We all have our place now Round the table we’re sat The fire sets a blaze in a flume of ash I’ll just sit here playing my songs So that you can all keep carrying on Don’t lose spirit, hold for a hope Give in to your body, let it flow Turn into a song that can touch with my heart And make me feel like i belong Play me your songs and play me your sounds Let me know where we can be bound To sounds of the love That we feel for ever To be true There be monkeys in this corner One and all Keep a chimney burning for ya One and all

Take me to the top of the peak As I start to fall let me feel its energy Let me stroke the waves as I pass by Then let them come crashing down behind my gallant strides Watch me as I ride As soar and glide I ride this wave and fly Oh I ride this wave and fly Let me stand like a lion, let me feel like a king Even if it’s only for some seconds I will cherish them Let the whole of body, feel complete release Power through the winds I’ll give it everything Paddle through the force Paddle through the crowds Push on through the resistance Let loose Let your hair down This place for stiffness Watch me as I ride As soar and glide I ride this wave and fly Oh I ride this wave and fly Let me stand like a lion, let me feel like a king Even if it’s only for some seconds I will cherish them Let the whole of body, feel complete release Power through the winds I’ll give it everything Paddle through the force Paddle through the crowds Push on through the resistance Let loose Let your hair down This place for stiffness

Destruction 03:08
lyrics
buy track
We borrow this land from our children What will we have left when the rent is due Burdened in our debt no resources when they’re all dead Can’t we see this need for change We are known for our destruction Can’t we find a means to an end Can’t we focus our destruction And build a better place We drain this land of it’s life blood Fracking away one chip at a time How greedy can the man get wreaking havoc on a wilderness When nothings left what will you do? We are known for our destruction Can’t we find a means to an end Can’t we focus our destruction And build a better place Poisoned lands poison promises poison up my mind We are known for our destruction Can’t we find a means to an end Can’t we focus our destruction And build a better place

Don't Need Sleep 02:00

I’ll be sitting here, while you are sleeping I’ll be sitting here, while you are sleeping Don’t give me your wine, and I’ll be fine I’ll be sitting here, while you are sleeping I don’t need no sleep, I’m gunna fight it I don’t need no sleep, I’m gunna fight it I am kinda tired, but at the night I run wild I don’t need no sleep, I’m gunna fight it I’ll be standing tall, while you’re all curled in a ball I’ll be standing tall, while you’re all curled in a ball And when the morning comes, I cannot function I’ll be standing tall, while you’re all curled in a ball I don’t need no sleep, I’m gunna fight it I don’t need no sleep, I’m gunna fight it I am kinda tired, but at the night I run wild I don’t need no sleep, I’m gunna fight it

Sight From Inside 04:33
lyrics

Feet down run around been around the whole town Don’t know how to stop only the meaning to go Running up and down the valley straight through the alley Shifting left and right now my head is spinning round and round. In the tree in front the sea, you wanna see what i can see Atop the hill a shady chill welcomed on a hot summers day Take a flip-flop walk down to the boardwalk A hip-scotch on the rocks each step I step, I take with grace I’m becoming someone else All of this will shape me, shape me for the best Nothing can take this away from me, nothing can break a spirit that’s free I’m becoming someone else I’ve got direction from inside though I can’t explain And I’m not gunna try and hide Every time I listen my life starts to glisten Lighting up my life and brightening up my destiny I’m becoming someone else All of this will shape me, shape me for the best Nothing can take this away from me, nothing can break a spirit that’s free I’m becoming someone else My heart beat beat beat is strong Revealing the way like an inner guidance system But My heart beat beat beat is strong It’s sounding so loud I can’t help but listen

Thousand Faces 03:41
lyrics

Treat it right and keep it strong I’m a transistor of love Someone’s got to break the chain of hate and forgive Gotta shift your brain away from insane Ignorance is bliss against a face of distress I’m not gunna let this whole ship burn to the ground. It can change all ways every day With emotional feelings on parade Keep it in my mind so strong That not each day will be as easy as the last one And I’ll keep doing what I’m doing Coz I love to feel this way When I keep myself in this state I open up a million opportunities I got a thousand faces and I’ll keep a smile especially for you But when the weather hits me I sometimes can’t pull through And then a fool came along and try to make it all go wrong But I will not change my faces For you You can’t stop what I create, I’ll never give my focus to hate All of this of which I cannot see will only just empower me Don’t naysay what you do not know There’s countless reasons not to do anything none of them by my side it’s gunna bring the positive side to life I got a thousand faces and I’ll keep a smile especially for you But when the weather hits me I sometimes can’t pull through And then a fool came along and try to make it all go wrong But I will not change my faces For you All of our biggest problems, are all made in our heads Keep it out keep on concentrating ,it doesn’t really exist Ignore all of the things that, make you sad Ignore all the things that you ,can’t have just keep one thought in ,your head Any amount of light can brighten, up darkness I got a thousand faces and I’ll keep a smile especially for you But when the weather hits me I sometimes can’t pull through And then a fool came along and try to make it all go wrong But I will not change my faces For you
