You are the one that showed me Just who I am This loving never confronted This I've never done Life's a breeze and we don't have trouble So we walk in the park so divine Life's a breeze And we fall for each other As we walk in the park so divine Only for you I'll always have time I'll promise time Always in mind For you Life's a breeze and we don't have trouble So we walk in the park so divine Feel at ease when we leave the clamor Of the city and feel serenity You've got a palace of glory Right up in the sky You've got your own little storey Nest way up high Only for you I'll always have time I'll promise time Always in mind For you Only for you I'll always have time I'll promise time Always in mind For you We fumble for the open door That was left ajar That wasn’t far We welcome to the open door

You took your load at this time Forced to your knees for that crime And life gave you a pack of jokers Always going round in circles Couldn't get his hands on a bomb To blow their silly heads off Or stamp on their face's ha ha That's all really very funny But he Still kept his spirit in hard times They couldn't crush everything inside But the outside world was always a fight Trust in the brothers and others short lived Cut the crap I'm feeling well miffed Can't talk about it words don't fit He gave them space to work it all out Deep down the need to give something back Men of importance pull the wool And tattoo figures on your back School that creature of banality Smiled every day with no excuse Was just paper balls and smashed stools Family confusion took its toll A spiral down for this clever soul A spiral down for this clever soul Traipsing home induced to fly Out with the boys out for a fight In silent pockets of the night In semi-detached lands Wastelands Two worlds clash Now systems that fuel this collapse Where guidance was a slap on the back And bird was the final call Now these young men can go to school

I'm in a dream when I suddenly hear a gorgeous heartfelt Melody swirling around in my head As I lay in darkness at 6 am I hear the congas taping out a groove To a soft velvet like voice And Mr Gaye introduces himself This beautiful graceful man is singing for me Mercy mercy me I float to the rhythm in a soft cushion of strings How can I thank him For the gift that stands witness to meaning beyond the known Some gifts are locked away in a glass case in museums forever But this is for me and you And now he talks of saving the world that is destined to die And how could he know that his words Would echo more than ever in our times All I know that is his words and songs will never die Your gift I received it serenades my understanding Your gifts passing on from me to your imagination

Over and out overwhelmed astray Here for a chance saved for the day Things on the move things on their way Over and out overwhelmed in a way Friendly in summer in prickly heat Mouth wide shut communicate Tongue well oiled suffice to say Over and out overwhelmed in a way Way to abort you I know You satisfy me Satisfy me

Into this day is survival to late Survive You squeezing us Look at this earth that we love to live on If nothing does change then we'll soon all be gone Into this day is survival to late Not far away The end of all days How Denial You squeezing us And where were you when we needed you With your bla bla-let's go It cannot be that the leaders greed Will make our planet blue and green Obsolete So let's make a shift Or we'll shift you From your denial survival The children will pay for it Let's help them make it survive You squeezing us Into this day is survival to late Not far away the end of the game Survival You squeezing us

Why do you not think a bit Stupid people think of it Even when they don't give a shit at all Why do you not think a bit Stupid people think of it Even when they don't give a shit at all Don't give me that spiritual shit Like there's always something to get from it God is there and it's all a learning curve If it's all about.. No I'll stop you! What is all? What is all? You don't no Nor do I Oh We are all then I am you Oh god I am you Oh! Why do you not think a bit Stupid people think of it Even when they don't give a shit at all It is nice not to give a shit 'cause nothing matters And stupid people don't think at all Thinking only brings you problems There’s nothing like a good un-think And it will be alright in the very end Stupid helps you get some anger Stupid helps you and is nice Stupid is the new intelligence Why do you not think a bit Stupid people think of it Even when they don't give a shit at all Why do you not think a bit Stupid people think of it Even when they don't give a shit at all At all
