from the album N/A
It’s cold outside
It gets so hot in here
And the boys and girls collide
To the music in my ear
Hear the children crying
And they know it’s time to go
I hear the children crying
Take me home
A painted face
And I know we haven’t long
We thought that we had the answers
It was the questions we had wrong
Hear the children crying
And I know it’s time to go
I hear the children crying
Take me home
Sad song, sad song
Sad song, sad song
La lah la lah … La lah la lah … La lah lah
La lah la lah … La lah la lah … La lah lah
La lah la lah … La lah la lah … La lah lah
La lah la lah … La lah la lah … La lah lah
Sad song, sad song
Sad song, sad song
Call out your name
Call out in shame
Call out your name
Call out
You better call out
Call, call, call out

from the album Double Wide
Walked up in the bar and sat down on the stool
And got the low down from the guy with the jewel
He was playin pool and he thought he was good
Cause he bet me five dimes, he could sink em with his foot
He grabbed a stick, tried to kick it with his heel
Did a sick back flip and ended up full kneel
He didn’t squeal, but it looked like it hurt
And it did cause he took me for my cash and my shirt
I got worked, but what’s worse than that
Just as he was leaving he tipped his hat
Then he laughed and said, I’m sorry bout your luck
When he walked out the door he got hit by a truck

How bout the guy, used to hang in the clubs
Getting all the numbers and getting all the love
He didn’t wear gloves, he was too hard core
May he rest in peace, we don’t see him anymore
Lots of stories and old cliches
Small town girl tryin to make her way
She moved to the city, all she wanted was a job
Now she’s underneath the desk tryin to move to the top
It won’t stop cause the circle won’t let it
Be careful what you wish for, you might get it
You know the cat got macked by the bees
He was messin with the honey and the mouse and the cheese

You could beat the system, you could beat your girl
But who ya gonna beat come the end of the world
I’magine everything you ever worked for, strived for
Suddenly becomin everything your gonna die for
Now what’d ya live for
Nothing anymore right
How could you live your whole life uptight
See everything you did and everything you seen
Rolled around in the mud, but you couldn’t come clean
And that makes you dirty, now how does that feel
Living life like an open cut that won’t heal
Sore at the world and you don’t know why
You bounced like a ball and that’s how you’ll die

from the album Guns In The Ghetto
I’m running away
I’ve got to get home
I’m lost in a crowd
But I’m still on my own
I’m looking ahead
So I’m staying behind
I’m not being cruel
I’m just being kind
I close my eyes
It’s no surprise
I’m always there
Can’t count the times
I’ve tried to hide
And found nowhere
I’m trying to lay low
But I keep getting high
My feet on the ground
Got my head in the sky
My eye on the future
That’s stuck in the past
I find I can’t lose
When I aim to come last
I realise
It’s no surprise
That nothing’s clear
That black is white
That day is night
And there is here
I’m right on the ball
But I’m missing the mark
I burn in the sun
I’m scared of the dark
Got an ivory tower
With a bird’s eye view
Got plenty of time
But nothing to do
The best disguise
It’s no surprise
Is disappear
Can’t count the times
I’ve tried to hide
And found nowhere
I’m running away
I’ve got to get home
I’m lost in a crowd
But I’m still on my own
I’m looking ahead
So I’m staying behind
I’m not being cruel
I’m just being kind
I realise
It’s no surprise
That nothing’s clear
That black is white
That day is night
And there is here
The best disguise
It’s no surprise
Is disappear
Can’t count the times
I’ve tried to hide
And found nowhere
I close my eyes
It’s no surprise
I’m always there
Can’t count the times
I’ve tried to hide
And found nowhere
I realise
It’s no surprise
That nothing’s clear
That black is white
That day is night
And there is here
The best disguise
It’s no surprise
Is disappear
Can’t count the times
I’ve tried to hide
And found nowhere

from the album N/A
YOU SAY YOU WANT A DIAMOND ON A RING OF GOLD
YOU SAY YOU WANT YOUR STORY TO REMAIN UNTOLD
ALL THE PROMISES WE MADE
FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE
WHEN ALL I WANT IS YOU
YOU SAY YOU´LL GIVE ME A HIGHWAY WITH NO ONE ON IT
TREASURE JUST TO LOOK UPON IT
ALL THE RICHES IN THE NIGHT
YOU SAY YOU´LL GIVE ME
EYES ON A MOON OF BLINDNESS
A RIVER IN A TIME OF DRYNESS
A HARBOUR IN THE TEMPEST
ALL THE PROMISES WE MAKE
FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE
WHEN ALL I WANT IS YOU
YOU SAY YOU WANT YOUR LOVE TO WORK OUT RIGHT
TO LAST WITH ME THROUGH THE NIGHT
YOU SAY YOU WANT A DIAMOND ON A RING OF GOLD
YOUR STORY TO REMAIN UNTOLD
YOUR LOVE NOT TO GROW COLD
ALL THE PROMISES WE BREAK
FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE
WHEN ALL I WANT IS YOU
ALL I WANT IS YOU

from the album No Stranger To Shame
Everything has a reason
At least that’s what they all say
And I’ve lost my count of the seasons
I don’t know what’s been makin’ me stay
Many’s the times that you’ve hurt me
That’s just the way that you live
Many a time is forgotten
But I never said that I can forgive
[CHORUS]
So baby don’t cry, cry me a river
And baby don’t try to wash over me yeah
Baby don’t cry my ship is now sailin’
And I’ve wasted all my time in your sea
And I’ve wasted all my time in your sea
Now that your toys have been broken
I guess you want company
There is no point in you callin’
Cuz I’m headed for my own destiny
Now everyone has a problem yeah
Lord knows you’ve always been mine
The nights are always the hardest
But tonight some how I know I’ll be fine
[REPEAT CHORUS]

from the album Labour Of Love 2
Baby be true and I’ll give my love to you,
I need you baby.
Treat me right and I’ll love you day and night,
I mean it baby.
When you’re down I’ll be around,
To guide you baby.
When you’re free just call on me, baby.
I’ll give my heart to you, now babe.
I’ll do what you ask me too, now babe.
I mean it baby.
I’m gonna treat you, treat you right
I’m gonna love you day and night
I’m gonna give my heart away
I’m gonna love you night and day
Baby, baby.

from the album Geffery Morgan… Loves White Girls
We’ll raise the price of parking fines
A boost for the economy
If that don’t work we close the mines
And starve the poor of industry
We proved again we rule the waves
A blow for white democracy
That Britains never shall be slaves
So long as they agree with me
We’ll close the roads, divide the land
Put out the rage that burns within
Break the link of dirty hands
At any cost we’ll always win
Keep them poor and wanting more
Deprive them of their basic rights
The hunger banging at their door
Will take away their will to fight
Chorus
As always you were wrong again
To us a little seems a lot
Don’t turn your back on desperate men
Cause we can see how much you’ve got

IT WAS A COLD AND WET DECEMBER DAY
WHEN WE TOUCHED DOWN AT JFK
SNOW WAS MELTING ON THE GROUND
ON BLS I HEARD THE SOUND OF AN ANGEL
NEW YORK LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE
I SAID TONIGHT THIS CITY BELONGS TO ME,ANGEL
SOUL LOVE THIS LOVE WON´T LET ME GO
SO LONG, ANGEL OF HARLEM
BIRDLAND ON 53
THE STREET SOUNDS LIKE A SYMPHONY
WE GOT JOHN COLTRANE AND A LOVE SUPREME
MILES AND SHE HAS TO BE AN ANGEL
LADY DAY GOT DIAMOND EYES
SHE SEES THE TRUTH BEHIND THE LIES, ANGEL
SOUL LOVE THIS LOVE WON´T LET ME GO
SO LONG, ANGEL OF HARLEM
BLUE LIGHT ON THE AVENUE
GOD KNOWS THEY GOT TO YOU
AN EMPTY GLASS, THE LADY SINGS
EYES SWOLLEN LIKE A BEE STING
BLINDED YOU LOST YOUR WAY
ON THE SIDE STREETS AND THE ALLEYWAYS
LIKE A STAR EXPLODING IN THE NIGHT
FILLING UP THE CITY WITH BROAD DAYLIGHT
AN ANGEL IN DEVIL´S SHOES
SALVATION IN THE BLUES
YOU NEVER LOOKED LIKE AN ANGEL
SO LONG, ANGEL OF HARLEM
