You make me feel so alive
It’s 5 o’clock in the morning, a new day is dawning
Been on the road for what seems like eternity
Good times are calling and we’re all still smiling
Now we’re fully focused, almost ready to roll
The lights go down
As we hear no sound
Open the doors
Feel that rush
You make us feel so alive
You make us feel so alive
The caffeine in kicking in, we are up and away now
Everything at last is in its place
It’s time to hit the floor with all guns blazing
You’re going to be amazing we’re sure…
You make us laugh
You make us cry
You make us feel
So damn high……
You make us feel so alive
You make us feel like we could fly
You make us feel so alive
You are the sun in our sky
You make us feel so warm inside
Never had a feeling like this before
It’s making us feel like we want so much more
Feeling the love like never before
You make us feel so alive
You make us feel like we could fly
You make us feel so alive
You are the sun in our sky

Omega Lights

The sun is finally sinking at the end of a perfect day
Though I can still feel the comforting warmth on my arms
And all I hear is the gentle lapping of the water on the shore
A stunning pastel sky above, such a beautiful place, a wondrous escape
Omega lights, Omega lights
You make me feel like nothing else can
Omega lights, Omega lights
You don’t have to try, It’s right here inside of me
As we look out towards the endless horizon
Across a shimmering millpond sea, just you and me
I feel my heart pumping so fast and so furious
And it makes me smile so much, I just love this ride, I just love this ride
Omega lights, Omega lights
You make me feel like nothing else can
Omega Lights, it all seems so right
You don’t have to try, It’s right here inside
Omega lights, Omega lights,
You make me feel like nothing else can
Omega Lights, it all seems so right
I don’t have to try, it’s already inside of me
It’s getting late and there’s a quietness on the front
We’re all alone now, there is no other place I’d rather be
We can hold on tight and let our emotions run free
Together we can be whoever we want to be
Omega lights, Omega lights
You make me feel like nothing else can
Omega lights, it all seems so right
You don’t have to try, It’s right here inside
Omega Lights, Omega lights
I don’t have to try, it’s right here inside of me

Blood, Skin and Bone
08:17

What do think when you look at me, what do you see?
Does anything change when you hear me speak?
If I change the clothes I wear or the style or colour of my hair
Does it alter your perception? I bet it would if you didn’t know me.
Blood, skin and bone is all that lies underneath
Blood, skin and bone is at the heart of what we are
It’s what lies beneath every façade, every human being
We are just nature’s machines, we can be creators but we can be destroyers
It’s up to us which path we take
we can embrace or embark upon a journey of destruction
The future of our existence depends upon our actions
Blood, skin and bone is all that lies underneath
Blood, skin and bone is at the heart of who we are
It’s what lies beneath every façade, every human being
Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s showtime…
Roll up, roll up, the human freak show is here once again in all its perverted glory
You can vent all your prejudice, you can manifest all your fear
By showing a complete lack of understanding for your fellow homo sapiens
And complete for all your worldly surroundings
Alas, it seems so little has changed over thousands of years of so called evolution
In fact now it even maybe so much worse…
It’s a sobering thought when you think of what it is that makes us
It doesn’t matter where you are from or the size or the colour of your skin
We must be so careful not to judge each other so quickly and so harshly
Blood, skin and bone is all that lies underneath
Blood, skin and bone is the heart of what we are
Blood, skin and bone is all that lies beneath our flesh
Blood, skin and bone is the heart of what we are
‘Humanity without humility is such a sad and dangerous thing’

They hang the man and flog the woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
Yet they let the greater villain loose
That steals the common from the goose
The law demands that we atone
When we take things we do not own
But leaves the lords and ladies fine
Who take things that are yours and mine
The poor and wretched don't escape
If they conspire the law to break
This must be so but they endure
Those who conspire to make the law
The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
And geese will still a common lack
Till they go and steal it back

Driven isn’t a word that even begins to describe you
Focused, is getting closer but it doesn’t quite do the job
Once you’ve got the bit between your teeth there’s no going back, no there’s no going back
You never let up, you never stop, you keep on going until it’s all wrapped up
In my mind you will always be the last great explorer
Nobody else comes close to you, you’re the best there ever was
And nobody knows…
Everywhere you went you made you presence felt
An unsung English pioneer out in the cold in the heat of British industry
Your beguiling practicality mesmerising those around you
Your unique ability to overcome any conundrum
In my mind you will always be the last great adventurer
Nobody else even comes close to you, you’re the best there ever was
And nobody knows…
Whether work or pleasure it really doesn’t matter
You just keep on pushing till the job is done
Whilst others are scratching their heads you quietly solve it all
No fanfare, no fuss, just a perfect end result every time
No problem is too much, you always find a solution, you always find a way
A spitfire and a hurricane lovingly honed from solid oak
A skateboard that you made for me in the glorious Seventies
A go cart with no breaks, which gave me a bloody nose
Still you live and Learn, what hurts only makes you stronger
And still you go on and on, with more energy than you should have
You really could do anything, putting everyone else to shame
From Monmouth to Dalbeattie, from Ramsgate to Arras
From Akrotiri to the Eiger, from Filton to the LEB
In my mind you will always be the last great explorer
Nobody else even comes close to you, you’re the best there ever was
In my mind you will always be the last great adventurer
Nobody else even comes close to you, you’re the best there ever was
And nobody knows…
In my mind you always will be the last great adventurer
Nobody else comes close to you, because you’re the best there ever was
And nobody knows…

Normality of Distance
05:50
|

I must have been so naïve or maybe just blind
You seemed so content and happy with your life
But little did I know that all was not so well below….the surface
Just want to see you ride out this emotional storm
It’s been going on and on for far too long
Want to see you back on form
With that sparkle in your eyes
And as the story unravels
It all becomes so clear
I realise the normality of distance
Was just a paper thin veneer
I hope at last you can finally break free
And be the person that you really want to be…
Show your true passion and spirit and show your beautiful soul
Remove all the shackles and finally let go
Don’t be bullied, don’t be pushed about
Don’t let him try and turn it all around
Don’t let him manipulate and mess with your fragile mind
And as the story unravels
It all becomes so clear
I realise the normality of distance
Was just a paper thin veneer
Excuses and cover ups all falling into place
I could see the sadness in your eyes
And in the tears on your face
And now at last we can see the real you
You can once again show your true zest for life
When Winter turns to Spring
And Spring turns to Summer
You’re free to go where you want to go
You’re free to do what you want to do
Free at last just to be, just to be you
And as the story unravelled
And it all became so clear
I realised the normality of distance
Was just a paper thin veneer
Cover ups and excuses finally disappeared without trace
I can see the sparkle in your eyes again
And the tears of joy on your face

Another Life Not Lived
07:55
|
|||
And as hope melts away
You try to raise yourself to face another day
Though the pain seems too much to bear
And nothing at this point in your life seems fair
And it’s not enough, it’s just enough to know
That so many family and friends really care
It means nothing at all, nothing at all
When the centre of your world has been taken away so mercilessly
Another life not lived, a young life unfulfilled
A life full of promise and hope, on the cusp of living
Another life not lived, a young life unfulfilled
A life full of promise and hope, cut short by a cruel twist of fate
And finally, reality takes a cold grip
This is not a phase, there’s no escape
And you question what is there worth living for
Nothing makes sense to you anymore
And you question, how are you going to carrying on
Surviving your one and only son……
And as you try to picture all the good times that you shared
A show reel of memories playing through your head
You crack a smile but it’s not real
you cannot hide the devastation
The devastation that you feel deep inside, so deep inside…
Another life not lived, a young life unfulfilled
A life full of promise and hope, on the cusp of living
Another life not lived, a young life unfulfilled
A life full of promise and hope, cut short by a cruel twist of fate
Another life not lived, a young life unfulfilled
A life full of promise and hope, on the cusp of living, living….
But deep in our hearts you will forever be
You will forever remain, never fade away
You will always be a part of us
You will never fade away
