Nowhere Faster 

 

Can you help me find my freedom 

I’ve been looking out everywhere I go 

When I find out, and I’ll find out 

I’m gonna tell, everyone I know 

 

Everybody’s asking 

Everybody’s asking  

But there’s no answer 

Everybody’s running 

Everybody’s running  

Nowhere faster 

 

This world we live in, it’s disgusting 

I see it everywhere I go 

Coz you’re nothing, oh you’re nothing 

Without all that shit shine to show 

 

Everybody’s asking 

Everybody’s asking  

But there’s no answer 

Everybody’s running 

Everybody’s running  

Nowhere faster 

 

Oh I came to conclusion  

Everybody is living on  

Everybody else’s opinion 

 

Can you help me, help me find 

Help me find, help me find my freedom 

 

Don’t tell me, show me – oh God 

Show me I’m not dreamin 

 

Everybody’s asking, everybody’s asking 

What’s the answer 

When everybody’s living 

Everybody’s living in their anger 

Everybody’s talking 

Everybody’s talking louder and louder 

Everybody’s asking, everybody’s askin  

But there’s no answer 

Everybody’s running 

Everybody’s running  

Nowhere faster 

I guess I’m running, yes I’m running  

Nowhere faster 

Smoke Up The River 

 

I won’t change my lover  

For there’s a chance that I am right 

I’ve read between your covers  

And I’m hardly satisfied 

Coz none of this makes any decent  

Common sense to me 

I was trying to be faithful 

While you were patronizing me 

Coz I’m free 

 

I see 

Smoke up the river 

And I feel 

Something deeper 

 

So come gather all you sinners 

Come and validate your greed 

Just throw a little dollar  

To the ones in poverty 

And take it to confession boy you  

Get down on your knees 

And all will be forgiven  

If you only make believe 

 

I see 

Smoke up the river 

And I feel 

Something deeper 

 

So lock your doors, and load your guns 

Coz that is how 

You think this war should be won 

So come a little bit closer 

Come closer to the water  

Does it all seem unfamiliar 

Or is it as you, remember 

 

I see 

Smoke up the river 

And I feel 

Something deeper 

Something deeper

Should I See You Again 

 

I don’t know where you’re going 

Oh I know where you’ve been 

I don’t need a reason 

A meaning for the end 

 

I don’t loose anymore sleep 

Oh but even if I do 

I wont loose a moment 

Thinking about you 

 

So I’m not making amends 

And I’m not willing to bend 

I have nothing but love for you 

Should I, see you again 

 

I don’t know what you’re doing 

I know what you’ve done 

I don’t need a reason 

For loving anyone 

 

So I’m not making amends 

And I’m not willing to bend 

I have nothing but love for you 

Should I, see you again 

 

I don’t know if I should be willing 

To cross the street to say hello 

But to think I should keep on walking 

Just like, just like I didn’t know 

 

So I’m not making amends 

And I’m not willing to bend 

I have nothing but love for you 

Should I, see you again 

 

I have nothing but love for you  

Should I, see you again 

The Letter
 

I wrote you a letter, 

I just don’t know if you’re gonna get it 

Coz I don’t know where you are 

I tried to forget it but I  

Wanted you to find out 

Every word I said 

 

But you travelled across the land 

Just to make me understand 

Just how, just how, just how far 

How far you wanna be 

You wanna be, wanna be from me 

 

So I walked along the pavement 

Just to hope that I could take it 

To anywhere you are 

I tried to remember if there’s  

Anything I left you 

That would remind you where I stand 

 

But you travelled across the land 

Just to make me understand 

Just how, just how, just how far 

How far you wanna be 

You wanna be, wanna be from me 

 

Well I got down on my knees  

And I wept for your love 

I got down on my knees and I prayed  

That you’d come 

 

But you travelled across the land 

Just to make me understand 

Just how, just how, just how far 

How far you wanna be 

You wanna be, wanna be from me 

 

Now I don’t think I can find you  

Unless this is all behind you 

Could you leave it where you are 

Oh just know that I open up my door every morning 

Just in case you might walk by 

 

But you travelled across the land 

Just to make me understand 

Just how, just how, just how far 

How far you wanna be 

You wanna be, wanna be from me 

 

Oh you hide from me yeah!  

​

Just Because 

 

Have you ever felt like, 

you could tell yourself it’s all in your head 

Convince your imagination it had powers of creation 

Coz every day I search for ways and better days to make the dreams 

A little less crazy 

I knew that I could never try to look both ways and never lie 

Maybe I would love you if I was blind, if I was blind 

 

It’s a shame, shame shame to think my life would have to change 

Yeah it’s a shame, shame, shame 

The only shame 

Guess I was thinking too hard to think my family would know no different 

Would know no different 

 

Yeah, 

Just because you read my body like we’re never apart 

And just because you read my words before I open my mouth 

Now I’m not sure if I want this 

No, no none of this means anything 

 

So you found my face in my hiding place, but you only counted to five 

Stayin longer tonight let you tell me it’s alright - It’s alright 

Who to call to let it out, first to call then word of mouth 

What the hell do I do now 

Find someone just anyone, guaranteed to turn and run 

Practise on the ones I don’t care about, yeah find anyone 

 

Yeah, 

Just because you read my body like we’re never apart 

And just because you read my words before I open my mouth 

Now I’m not sure if I want this 

No, no none of this means anything 

 

So I crossed the line to talk 

Yeah surprised me 

Yeah, oh surprise it’s easier to walk 

It’s e-e-easy to walk 

 

Yeah, 

Just because you read my body like we’re never apart 

And just because you read my words before I open my mouth 

Now I’m not sure if I want this 

No, no none of this means anything 

None of this means anything 

Whoa none of it  

None of this means anything 

No, none of this means!  

None of this means anything 

None of this means anything 

None of this means anything 

 

Broken Down Heart 

 

You’ve done something bad  

I’m gonna tell my Mum and Dad 

That you have gone and broken down my heart 

 

I’m gonna tell my best friends too  

And they’re gonna gang up on you 

Coz you have gone and broken down my heart 

 

Oh I’m, such a fool 

To go on and believe you 

You’re not worried, you’re not sorry at all 

That you’ve turned out just to break my heart 

 

I’m gonna hatch this devious plan 

I’m gonna catch your bright red hand  

Now you have gone and broken down my heart 

 

And when I get these hands on you 

I’m gonna put my curse on you 

Coz you have gone and broken down my heart 

 

Oh I’m, such a fool 

To go on and believe you 

You’re not worried, you’re not sorry at all 

That you’ve turned out just to break my heart 

 

Oh I cried like a fool cries 

When her lover, is a liar  

 

You’re not worried, you’re not sorry at all 

That you’ve turned out just to break my heart 

 

So don’t think that we are through  

I’m not finished yet with you  

Coz you have gone and broken down my heart  

 

Lips So Sweet

 

You’ve got a hot temper   

I can’t hardly breathe  

Though if I tried to tell ya  

Oh no you’d only spit on me 

You know I bust my bones  

And I break my back,  

Just to give you my sweet love 

That I don’t get back   

 

Now you’ve got a new girl  

Oh and she’s your world 

And I can’t compete  

 

With them lips so sweet

You know I met your Ma 

Boy she does like me 

And your hot sister  

Oh yes she can count on me 

 

When I made your breakfast

I near broke my shoulder 

On your big fat head 

 

Now you’ve got a new girl  

And she’s your world 

And I can’t compete 

with them lips so sweet 

With them lips so sweet 

With them lips so sweet

To mark my words

Lovely 

 

I’ve never had such a good friend,  

When I’m with you I don’t pretend 

You make me laugh, and give me reason 

Speak the words that I believe in   

 

Love, it’s love, lovely to have found you 

Love, love, so much love that I will give you 

 

When I fell from so damn high, hung my head in my hands and cried 

In the darkness you had heard, I never asked you but there you were 

 

Love, it’s love, lovely to have found you 

Love, love, all my love that I will give you 

 

Spend my days, all my nights 

I’ll be there with all my might, with Love 

 

Love, love, all my love that I will give you 

It’s Lovely, it’s lovely, lovely to have found you 

 

Trains and Whistles 

 

Trains keep on rollin’  

Thru our little town 

It all feels different 

Without you around 

I shook your hand 

That shook the hands of pain 

Said it all makes you stronger, yeah  

That’s just the way 

 

So I’ll see ya, when I see ya 

It’s been mighty fine to have  

Got to know ya 

We’ll sing our songs again 

Drink to long lost friends 

Oh, we’ll bring the house down 

When my train comes to town 

 

Oh we drank the finest Whiskey 

All the stories we could tell 

Oh you never tired of listening 

Yeah you knew me so well 

 

Taught me about Jesus 

And let me make my own mind 

You said we all get redemption 

At the end of the line 

 

So I’ll see ya, when I see ya 

It’s been mighty fine to have 

Got to know ya 

We’ll sing our songs again 

Drink to long lost friends 

Oh, we’ll bring the house down 

When my train comes to town 

 

So I’ll see ya, when I see ya 

It’s been mighty fine to have   

Got to know ya 

We’ll sing our songs again  

Drink to long lost friends 

Oh, we’ll bring the house down 

When my train comes to town 

When my train comes to town 

Mmmmmmm 

 

Wear Your Jacket 

 

I’ve got big hands I wear blue jeans  

And in my pockets are great big things 

And in my heart I can just tell  

That you don’t know me very well 

I’m unsure in your acquaintance 
 

You and me we are but strangers 

Wear your hat from side to side or  

Front to back hell I don’t mind 

 

I’ll pick you outta my pocket  

I’ll put you on the sidewalk 

But I’ll thank you very nicely 

As I walk away politely 

But I won’t wear your jacket  

Home tonight 

No I won’t wear your jacket  

Home tonight 

 

But you’ll think of every kind of line  

For every kind of peace of mind  

But I’ve held every conversation  

On every kind of medication 

I can drink down to the drop 

Yes Mam I’ll be standing up 

You watch me fill up every vein  

With every drop of every rain 

 

I’ll pick you outta my pocket  

I’ll put you on the sidewalk 

But I’ll thank you very nicely 

As I walk away politely 

But I won’t wear your jacket  

Home tonight 

No I won’t wear your jacket  

Home tonight 

 

Don’t try to run, your fingers in my hair 

Go on, get going, go home now 

Get on outta here 

 

Don’t get me wrong I don’t believe  

That you’re not good enough for me  

Or that you have got in my way or  

I don’t have the time of day 

You just be good now and behave 

Try to curb your wicked ways 

As you walk on in the night 

Just you try to stay alive 

 

I’ll pick you outta my pocket  

I’ll put you on the sidewalk 

But I’ll thank you very nicely 

As I walk away politely 

But I won’t wear your jacket home 

No I won’t wear your jacket  

Home tonight 

I won’t wear your jacket  

I won’t wear your jacket  

I won’t wear your jacket  

Home tonight!
