Music is amazing it gives me everything Nothing can compare to the joy that I feel When I listen to a tune freshly brewed for my amusement a four second loop has got me hooked and now I'm grooving Hours have passed and I haven't left my room Not even for a drink or to go to the loo Just sitting head bobbing body shaking all around It's getting pretty late I'd better turn the music down Music is like a source of energy to me An essential supplement a dietary Requirement just like niacin and iron I need music to keep my soul alive A creative outlet for discovering With musical expression I'm in love again I'm always looking for a new sound that's how it goes The purpose of my life it never leaves me only grows Sure I can't play guitar right now At least not for very long anyhow Leaves me with a void, it's been hard to replace it An extension of the body a limb amputated But I'll still play music and I still write verse Without these things my life would be worse I've got to practice and I've got to perform that's who I am to this life I was born Music keeps the soul alive It makes you wanna Think about what's on your mind And write a song If we don't ask questions then we'll never learn the answer Music is the truth it never leads you on Music sweet music. Music's where my heart belongs Music sweet music. Music's where my soul comes from

I just don't know you very well She could not call him after ten She was not taken with his friends He was not making any sense She could not find the words to say I just don't know you very well He sold Intel Pentium processors to growth economies like Indonesia. He's always at the station at the crack of dawn so he can be the first one on the phone. He couldn't live without life's infrastructure cause inner-city London seems to suck you into a windowless atmosphere where people get lost and never reappear. She wore patterned tights and high-heeled boots and she always had a good book on the tube. She was a PhD biology and she like to cook for her friends once a week. She'd just come out of a five-year relationship and she wasn't really up for replacing him, but then you never know who you're going to find and she couldn't get wouldn't get him off of her mind. They met at a party in Camberwell. She wasn't going to go because she didn't feel great, but her friend persuaded her because she needed a mate. She went to the basement down below where he was dJing songs from a MacBook Pro. And each one of them caught the others eye, then they were talking pretty much the whole night. But you know it doesn't always have to be that way, it takes time to know if someone is really great. Getting through two people's insecurities, can be difficult to see the wood for the trees. So take another chance to get to know somebody. Although it may seem like you have nothing in common, you never really know until you give it a try, and as long as there's attraction the rest will be fine.

Suitcase awaits the bass Make haste chase the race Great tasting waste of space Six seven eight Nine ten Jack queen king ace Donate your favourite plate Locate nitrate Set stage to engage Mondays will rotate and gyrate Contemplate orchestrate Ovulate or gestate Don't die intestate Leave your best mate Your garden gate In the abstract you take a musical sketch And incorporate a lot of meaningless text Syllables are malleable They are immensely valuable They cannot be held fallible If they are unpronounceable Suitcase awaits the bass Brush with Colgate toothpaste Subliminal advertising makes mistakes When it isn't really hidden you can see through the frames Erase your database Confess face to face You were seen sipping a daiquiri near a factory in Napoli when you were supposed to be back from your lunch break Bake a potato cake Serve it with mayonnaise Or make me an aeoli if you really want to show me that you know me and you also think that garlic is great Drink to intoxicate Posh girl on second date Cocktails then oxtail soup wearing fox fur on park lane

It's only life No need to get it right Recognise we all get carried away You alone Are the only one who knows The greatest human being there has ever been You may seek Fortune and fame A way to make your name live on it's our fate That time will prevail Unless you are the one in a million So in love Can never get enough Don't ever switch off that part of my brain The thought of your face Makes my heart race My eyes are blind to find anyone else Hearing your voice Swiftly destroys All my self composure and courage Been here before False Sense of allure You are just one in a million worries

I can't talk in loud places. How do I think/feel about the way people see me as a singing, paper tearing, guitar player, creative obsessive, asleep on the agenda? Why do I feel the need to separate myself from the rest of the world? I don't want to write the next line About myself just to know that I thought about my priorities and try to focus on the right things. Joyful interest distributor proud and grateful, I say it like a gangster but let us remember, that it's people are important not things. More so those we care about. Forgive me but I just started out writing and it's plain invasive. I'd rather be scraping my knee or spending the afternoon making babies, or lost in daydreams with you. I don't want to surrender to my inner self. I just want to enter a new stage of inner wealth. No longer quite as young as when I begun, and as time moves on I must confess it's harder to have fun. With all of the pressure that life brings to bear, physical, mental, emotional cares, That affect my decisions and control my affairs, and leave me wavering between joy and despair. But when I see her face around the workshop my thoughts stop as if a penny dropped. did it?of course not. I'm going over there to talk to her now is my chance. If there was music playing I would ask her to dance. Do you catch yourself tripping at night, riddled with doubt and uptight, you got to live your life right. Confusion is controlled by no man, nor understanding it seems. Both have the answers and I'm learning to appreciate dreams. The type in which you set a goal and go after it, with single-minded focus and an eye for the accurate. Immaculate technique comes after great years of practice, and even then only appears when you hit bang on the axis. Practice in itself is a great form of pleasure, done in between the writing and recording at your leisure. You can learn something new for the first time only once, then it in your muscle memory and it's time to move on.

Shoot the breeze take your dreams overseas but please make your peace with the people you leave Take it easy its 33° in the shade In the heat of the day Drinking lemonade under the Colonnade Watch the mardi gras parade With the floats going by Colours costumes and confetti for miles Couples are sweating dancing close Hormones in the air everywhere you go Cornets trombones and saxophones Swinging with the cymbals and the snare is there Giving a backbeat so you can move your feet And shake your hips like Gladys knight and the pips In the sixties dancing in the street in Detroit Martha reeves and the vandellas rocking the joint Motown was the sound of the times In the hearts and the minds An expression of a new generation Who believed they would see racial equality in their lifetime thanks to dr king and the movement Working tirelessly for civil rights improvement Take a leaf out of the book and close the page Any struggle can be overcome in the modern age In the modern age anything can be done In Hollywood Chaplin was the number one The star did the directing and the musical score That kind of talent isn't found anymore He made people feel like they were the only one They'd orbit him like planets around the sun His personality was so magnetic If you'd ever met him you would never forget it In the film modern times the little tramp gets a job on an assembly line Which was still a new concept invented by henry ford to make the model T quickly so he could start selling overseas in big numbers it was all about mass production A car for the people at a price they could afford to pay this philosophy was later ascribed to the Volkswagen beetle and the Austin mini don't be cynical classic designs stay in style they remain with us as symbols of their time Brands influence choice that's here to stay A precondition of decisions made in the modern age

Everybody wants a piece of the pie but the person with the biggest is bigger than I. Take somebody's helping if it catches your eye, you won't notice who's suffering when you take a bite. Your loss is always someone else's gain. In finance or relationships the truth is the same. Dressing up a proverb like it came from my brain, there are something's in this life that don't need to be explained. Everything is on a database in any case. Credit card, mobile phone, car registration plates. Soon the government will require your DNA and a corrupt official will falsify evidence that can put you away. CCTV follows me, easy to trace as your internet history. Privacy is no longer a part of modern life. Watch out for piracy your identity could be in doubt. I think I said it before, you check your jurisdiction before you start a war. You do not need to say anything but anything you do say can be held against you in a court of law. I'm going to say it again, you can't go through life being everybody's friend. It may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. I'm going to tell you straight, better late than never but there's no excuse for being late. You have the right to consult a lawyer before speaking to the police and to have a lawyer present during questioning now and in the future. I'm going to say it once more, nothing good will come from transgressing the law. Knowing and understanding your rights as I have explained them to you, are you willing to answer my questions without a lawyer present. Everybody wants a little piece of the action, like McCartney when he bought Michael Jackson. Actually I think it was the other way around- Michael bought the Beatles for 47 million pound. Where did he get that kind of money from you're wondering? His revenues were huge before he had a chance to squander them. His downloads went through the roof the minute he died, and the film they made of the concert was as good as seeing him live. There was a little confusion around his death. Some story about medication was sold to the press. So ended the best performer of his generation whose extraordinary talent belied a dreadful situation. A man who never truly came to terms with who he was. Always a superstar, always a God. Always fallible to the dangers of his fantasy. Believing something doesn't make it true unfortunately. I think I said it before, you're only as good as your last performance. You do not need to say anything but anything you do say can be held against you in a court of law. Let me put it like this, if it looks like it and smells like it, it probably is it. It may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. We're going to take this from the top so stop me if you think enough is enough. You have the right to consult a lawyer before speaking to the police and to have a lawyer present during questioning now and in the future. I think it's all in your mind, did it all happen by accident or was it designed? Knowing and understanding your rights as I have explained them to you, are you willing to answer my questions without a lawyer present. Everybody needs to get a sense of perspective, doesn't take a detective to locate the objective here. Protective gear donned in the back of the van, quick as they can cause adrenalin will wait for no man. Trouble is the call came when the trouble was on, now the trouble is gone but more trouble is on the way with guns. A proportionate response is what the press release will say, but the press release is grey and the press will have a field day. It doesn't make any difference, just a lot of what ifs and inconsistents. You do not need to say anything but anything you do say can be held against you in a court of law. Everyone's under pressure. When action is required it's either now or never. It may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. I can see through those lies. Your alibi is only your word against mine. You have the right to consult a lawyer before speaking to the police and to have a lawyer present during questioning now and in the future. It's up to you to decide, but the prosecution's case is water tight. Knowing and understanding your rights as I have explained them to you, are you willing to answer my questions without a lawyer present.

One fine day in a new oblivion. There are times in your life when you might start finding things you never had before. One fine day in a new oblivion. When you go to sleep but never wake up that is the end, there is nothing to come and everything that has gone only exists for other people if they remember it. Everything in this world is transient, changing, an accident. Though everyone of us strives to make an impact the size of the task makes this a big ask. But if we don't try then life on earth would have no meaning Just an empty vacuum without floor or ceiling And we might as well all get high as a kite But we don't because we know we must get on with our lives So we gain specialist knowledge which sets us apart Creates a sense of purpose and makes us feel smart all the time looking for balance so we can reconcile With ourselves that our lives are really worthwhile Maybe in another world in another time You will be another man with another mind And there's no telling what this other man will be thinking That depends on his background and upbringing Every culture takes a different approach What is normal for one seems strange for most Information is the key to understanding other people Prejudice is born of ignorance which has been lethal For centuries ever since man learnt to travel They discovered other races and set out to unravel their beliefs Through persuasion and then by force You are not the same as us so you have no rights at all And your choice is to assimilate or live in fear cos we will never understand other people that is clear Thus a tragic unending state of resistance when We only have one world to try and co exist in

This moment just crystallised and i know I've got to got to keep this dream alive and I've got to get you. Did you ever want to show it to me, did you never want to go to me and I've got to get you. I see a wiggly line and then I move it then the wiggle is a squiggle and the squiggle is fine I've got plenty of time to write rhymes about my life and if he rhythm is right I could be writing it all night Sometimes you feel you get carried away with whatever direction you're imagination takes But it is only a mistake if you let it be that way So carry on a little longer and see if something breaks Keep looking for discoveries elusive like clouds Embrace each new enlightenment mysteriously found Keep searching for what you are after Share it with friends the dilemmas and laughter Escape from reality for just a moment more Trust in your instinct and never ignore Whatever is your calling it calls you inside and it tells you what it is you're meant to do with your life I see a simple design I think about the way that style and efficiency combine To make beautiful things that we use all the time, forever refining to improve our lives As much a part of mankind as anything else ,we can always attempt to reinvent ourselves Consequently we are never satisfied with status quo, wherever we have reached there will be further to go And that's something to be cherished - an infinite goal Our work is never done so we are always involved And we won't be a people void of aspiration we can alway rely on our imagination To push the boundaries to exciting new depths The smallest of changes can have enormous effect And that's what can make a great civilisation The ability to follow a dream and keep chasing it

You can learn an awful lot reading about sport The men and women who play it live their lives in a microcosm Their every action has consequences and is prone to sanction Ethics and morality are held at stake Both on and off the field of play Subject to scrutiny every time They step across an invisible line We expect misdemeanours from politicians sex and alcohol from musicians But sports men and women are treated differently They are Expected to be meticulously clean In every aspect of their personal lives cos they do special things achieve greater heights the more famous they are the more highly paid and the more we care and the less we tolerate when they don't live up to our expectation And supreme talent gives way to frustration Are they letting us down if they act in a way which we deem inappropriate to behave ? First the question of Ryan giggs The most decorated player in the premier league former sports personality of the year A player with a 20 year united career Are we within our rights to sharpen the knife Because he chose to sleep with his brothers wife Is it any of our business what he does off the pitch? There is no right or wrong answer to this More recently the case of Luis Suarez Serial biter comes under a barrage Of attack from FIFA and the football world 4 month ban, duly served But is a bite worse than an elbow to the head? Or career ending tackle that gets a straight red? Questionable, he cannot control it But it's Unacceptable we will not condone it Sometimes they're ostracised for things they haven't done A fascinating case when a race was won in the 800 metres by caster semenya By a very large margin to be accused later by the other competitors of being a man Turned out she had testosterone as well as oestrogen that wasn't her fault but she was vilified By a media campaign that ruined her life Listen I could keep going on Athletics and cycling damaged by drugs Can we really put our faith anymore In records broken, do you know for sure Then there are incidents of match fixing The seduction of gambling afflicting Many sports which we need to know are competed fairly not just for show In tennis Four men reign at the top Winning every grand slam they've cornered the lot Their domination is so clearly spoken It's hard to conceive that it could be broken Thankfully their characters are unimpeached Never any accusation levelled at their feet Only immense focus, determination And an ability to win that marks them as the greatest

Doesn't feel like hiphop Why ever the heck not Because the beat is different A little more persistent Two beats in every bar Instead of four Changes the rhythm And the phrasing of course And then the rhyming pattern is yours to choose You can rhyme on the two Or on every other two You use a rhyme. you use a half rhyme. you don't rhyme at all. It's no crime. If what you say feels right say it however you like. If you find the right way to say it there's a very good chance other people will understand it and then you have accomplished part of what it is that you set out to achieve. And anyway the other part is only make believe. Hip hop original that's my goal Mind over matter let the truth unfold Search for it inside your soul Nurture it so the roots take hold Virtuous, virtues extolled When it's turbulent take firm control Learn from it make new from old My mother's maiden name is Vivienne Feingold

Nowhere to run nowhere to hide You'll discover you might be lovers with time on your side Do you know where to look do you know how to find A mind original my religion is dying all the time A mind original my decision is final Ashes to ashes Dust to dust Try as you must In truth we trust Injustice is around all of us It is contagious The Famous We expect to be our saviours outrageous And dangerous too A vicarious trait we would do well to lose And yet we choose to accept Indeed the real architects Remain unseen behind the screen And the magazine Preparing to deceive and trick us Manipulate our wishes implant an ideal of what is good and what isn't Although we realise it we are still swept along You cannot resist against a current so strong it's wrong and I want to get away But I'm stuck in a rhythm of living this way How many times can a man exhale when he knows that the world that he lives in will fail
