Old fool 04:05
lyrics
buy track
We never see you around these days, pastures new, to coin a phrase The warmth of old now seems so cold, no moss gathered, your stone has rolled Submerged into your relationship, like an iceberg, can’t even see the tip Where did all that friendship go? Now I’m just some fool you used to know He’s the kind that wants control, trophy wife, baby, beware your soul Full of himself and no one else, trying hard to be cool, but we ain’t fooled Of course you love him, but beware the line, don’t leave all your good friends behind Don’t neglect the seeds you sowed: now I’m just some old fool you used to know He don’t like us that’s for sure We got nothing he can procure We get the feeling he’s turning you Against good friends who once helped you through It’s gonna be some cloudy weather, sunshine doesn’t last forever Once close friends, is this how our friendship ends? Your life has changed but I’m still here, how did all that warmth disappear? Don’t reject the seeds you sowed: now I’m just some old fool you used to know I’ve had fair shares of love and strife It ain’t as if I’ve not had a life Been a fool since I left school But there’s no fool like an old fool We never see you around these days, pastures new, to coin a phrase The warmth of old now seems so cold, no moss gathered, your stone has rolled Your life has changed but we’re still here, how did all that warmth disappear? We’ll wrap up warm while your cold winds blow, Till you’re just someone we used to know Yes, wrap up warm while your cold winds blow, Till you’re just someone we used to know

Coquimbo 04:23

Cooking in Coquimbo, scorching La Serena, Sunny Santiago, snowing back at Heathrow Me and Kate in Chile, casa Lalo Burle So much to attract us, even flowering cactus Sea shore experts in a semi-arid desert So much clear blue sky, but impossibly dry, impossibly dry Osorno volcano, huevos fritos Oysters & locos, rubbish food at Heathrow Locos on the shoreline, and pelicans looking fine Eiffel’s iron church, roads of dusty dirt Sand beach strollers and huge Pacific rollers A beautiful spot but impossibly hot, impossibly hot Cooking in Coquimbo, scorching La Serena, Sunny Santiago, snowing back at Heathrow Corrugated tin roofs in every little town Pigs and little children running all around It’s only once a year that rain comes falling down That’s the reason why it’s impossibly dry, impossibly dry Driving from Valdivia down towards Chiloe Land of the Mapuches, slain by conquistadores Far South to Quellion, for mussel cultivation Back to Coquimbo where it’s impossibly hot, impossibly hot

On our way 04:07

We’re on our way, yes on our way to break our planet’s heart We’re on our way, yes on our way to hell in a hand cart Why are we humans such a terrifying bunch? A Friday species made when God was out to lunch? With our opposable thumbs and a bit fat brain You think we wouldn’t make the same mistakes again We’re on our way, yes on our way as Brexshit breaks apart We’re on our way, yes on our way now Trump has made a start Manipulated men and women, they do dreadful things But proper evil people help them reach their wicked ends And then they take their refuge behind lying twisted words In this post-truth world it seems that truth is for the birds We’re on our way, on our way, we’re almost on the brink We’re on our way, on our way, it’s closer than you think The right wing media they are playing to our fears They know how it works; they’ve been doing it for years Immigrants and unemployed we are told to hate But bankers and the warmongers determine our fate. We’re on our way, on our way, no way that we can last We’re on our way, on our way, our future is our past I’m in a facebook bubble where my friends all think the same It’s a constant struggle to stand outside the frame I had planned to bury my head in the sand But on the other hand, maybe I should make a stand? We’re on our way, yes on our way to break our planet’s heart We’re on our way, yes on our way to hell in a hand cart We’re on our way, yes on our way to smash our planet’s heart We’re on our way, yes on our way to hell in a hand cart

Everything is all right 03:19

Big Bill Broonzy on the turntable, singin’ ‘bout Parchman farm Late at night in the schoolroom, your kisses strong and warm Sitting huddled round the fire on fireworks night Feel the warmth of your body, babe, holding me so tight In the heat of our desire, burning like a bush fire Teenage lovers in the night, everything was alright We both went our separate ways, through the good times & the bad Now to hold you once again reminds me what we had In the heat of our desire, burning like a bush fire Teenage lovers in the night, everything was alright All the colours of your love were like a rainbow in the sky I’ve never really understood why I left and made you cry Travelling back from Eden, Elvis ringing round the car So glad that we made contact babe, I thank my lucky stars In the heat of our desire, burning like a bush fire Teenage lovers in the night, now everything’s alright In the heat of our desire, burning like a bush fire Teenage lovers in the night, now everything’s alright

Good friend blues 04:58

When you’ve got a good friend that will stay right by your side When you’ve got a good friend that will stay right by your side Give her all your spare time, love and treat her right I mistreated my baby, can’t see no reason why I mistreated my baby, can’t see no reason why When I get to think about it I just wring my hands and cry If I should apoligise, would she sympathise with me If I should apoligise, would she sympathise with me She’s a red haired lady, just as sweet as any girlfriend can be Mmm, I may be right or wrong Mmm, I may be right or wrong Watch your close friends baby, then your enemies can’t do you no harm

Chase away the blues 03:36
lyrics

Don’t need no detective to give me no clues From an old man’s perspective I can see all the news Don’t be so selective with all of your views If you wanna be effective, if you wanna be effective Yes, if you wanna be effective to chase away the blues Let me tell you young people, let me tell you real good Life is for the living and live it like you should You can fall in love and fall right out again It ain’t no mystery, it ain’t no mystery It ain’t no mystery it’s always been the same I wish that I could go back & have my time again I’d do some things different but somethings just the same I took a lot of chances, more than just a few Some things made me happy, some things made me blue Yeah some things make you happy, some things make you blue So try to be effective to chase away the blues Don’t measure yourself against everyone else Plough your own furrow and be good to yourself Don’t inspect your image searching for what looks wrong Accept who you were, yes, accept who you are Accept who you’ve been all along I wish that I could go back & have my time again I’d do some things different but somethings just the same I took a lot of chances, more than just a few Some things made me happy, some things made me blue Yeah some things make you happy, some things make you blue So try to be effective to chase away the blues

You hurt that gal, you hurt her bad, You made her cry, you made her sad You don’t deserve someone like that I’m just surprised she’ll take you back Listen friend, it ain’t too late for you to try to change your ways But you gotta be real good and treat her like you know you should. Been going on for far too long You let her down, you done her wrong You’ll lose a lover, lose a friend Unless you try to make amends Listen friend, it ain’t too late for you to try to change your ways But you gotta be real good and treat her like you know you should. I’ll tell you friend it’s nothing new To have true love you must be true You gotta stop these games you play There really ain’t no other way Listen friend, it ain’t too late for you to try to change your ways But you gotta be real good and treat her like you know you should.

Borderline 04:18
lyrics

I saw her pulling up her sleeve, it’s so hard to believe That’s not some angry cat, but her own razor’s done that She needs to hurt herself, she says she needs to feel the pain To fight all that self-loathing in the whirlpool of her brain Borderline – that girl with borderline Borderline – controls her mind She thinks in black and white – it’s all or nothing. Sure that she is worthless and don’t deserve his loving When she loves someone, so deep and so complete Searching for perfection, how can anyone compete Borderline – brings her to her knees Borderline – they call it BPD Panic attack – she’s got to get away Already packed her bag gotta leave today Panic attack – she’s spiralling down Cannot leave the house – but cannot stick around Borderline – that girl with borderline Borderline – controls her mind Her emotional skin is so dangerously thin She sees lovers and friends through her distorted lens She sees no kind of grey, no half way through Just the raging of red or the aching of blue. Borderline – that girl with borderline Borderline – controls her mind Borderline – brings her to her knees Borderline – they call it BPD

Down at the crossroads, fell down on my knees Down at the crossroads, fell right down on my knees I said Lord have mercy, have mercy on me please Down at the crossroads, I tried to flag a ride I was down at the crossroads, trying to flag a ride Yeah nobody seemed to know me, everybody just passed me by You can run, you can run, tell my friend, po’ Willie Brown You can run, you can run, tell my friend, po’ Willie Brown Tell him I’m down at these crossroads, believe that I’m sinking down Gonna make my way to Rosedale, Hellhounds all on my mind Travelling down to Rosedale, Hellhounds all on my mind I’m down at these crossroads, I’m running, running out of time Oh mama, I looked from east to west Oh yeah mama, I’m looking from east to west Ain't got no loving woman to ease my black distress
