1975 04:09
lyrics

1975 I lasted less than a week on the factory floor The boss said to me (I was new) Get the bus Get your long hair cut And don’t come back to you do I left for good like I knew I would Searching for the words to contrive Mum said ‘I can’t believe You’d be so naive’ It was 1975 Boys like me came home from Vietnam Confused and barely alive Nixon’s Watergate We had Thatchergate 1975 But then a music man from a Beatle band In the doorway of a rock n roll dive I saw on a house A god in Levi Strauss Farewell ‘75 Get in line Wasted time Dream number nine What remains is still the same Breaking free before you arrive Escape your fate It’s getting late 1975

Trouble On My Side 04:24
lyrics

Trouble On My Side My name is just a number As far as I can tell Born into a landscape Where modern heroes dwell Laws to keep me grounded Liberty denied Is it money God or Trouble I got trouble on my side Hindered by decisions That other people made Unfettered and a failure A wretched accolade But maybe I’ll find hope And love unqualified The thought is kinda funny Cause I’ve got trouble on my side Trumpets are resounding For this unwilling volunteer A poor man to the front The rich man to the rear But I don’t need a medal Don’t need no foolish pride I’m alive because I’m lucky With trouble on my side If I’m left with nothing Then who can I accuse If I’m left with nothing I got nothing left to lose Now I live a free man With clothing dandified I’ve had money God and trouble I’m left with trouble on my side Maybe I’ll find hope And love unqualified The thought is kinda funny Cause I’ve still trouble on my side If I’m left with nothing Then who can I accuse If I’m left with nothing I got nothing left to lose

All That We Want 03:43
lyrics

All That We Want All that we want a plan to succeed But a little more love is all that we need All that we know our hope guaranteed But a little more love is all that we need All that we hear of fear and of greed Maybe a welcoming voice is all that we need All that we feel the balm of Gilead But you by my side is all that I need The clues were all there in the signs that we missed How did we let it all boil down to this All that I feel the Balm of Gilead But you by my side is all that I need All that I see life passing at speed The memory of you is all that I need The clues were all there in the signs that we missed How did we let it all boil down to this All that we want All that we know All that we hear All the we feel All that I feel the Balm of Gilead But you by my side is all that I need All that I see life passing at speed The memory of you is all that I need

Fred C Dobbs 03:54
lyrics

Fred C Dobbs Life is easy, life is slow Nothing changes, don’t you know Strive for money, strive for fame Such a waste, such a shame Life is easy, life is slow Nothing changes, Don’t you know Do what you want to, it’s your choice Different story, different voice Strumming your guitar playing rythm and blues Looking kinda cool in your Elvis tattoos You’ve lost your faith like Fred C Dobbs Silver and gold your only gods Your treasure’s in your heart But you’ll never know Take it easy, take it slow Take a back seat, let it go Don’t need no badges, don’t need no star Be a hero just as you are Strumming your guitar playing rythm and blues Looking kinda cool in your Elvis tattoos You’ve lost your faith like Fred C Dobbs Silver and gold your only gods Your treasure’s in your heart But you’ll never know

Free At Last 03:01
lyrics
buy track
Free At Last Take the weight from off your feet I will promise to be brief What missive of misfortune you may ask A captive’s life I led But I’ve returned now from the dead Free at last, Free at last My throat was dry and parched I have run and I have marched Across desert badlands hot and vast Upon the river of despair, I see water everywhere Free at last, free at last Free at last free at last We have questioned we have asked Who will bear a witness to the past We faced we overcame Now we’re ready to proclaim Free at last, free at last Free at last free at last We have questioned we have asked Who will bear a witness to the past We faced we overcame Now we’re ready to proclaim Free at last, free at last Now I see through older eyes And harken to the wise I hear echoes of the final trumpet blast Though I know it won’t be long I will leave this final song Free at last, free at last Free at last, free at last

Break My Fall 04:55
lyrics
buy track
Break My Fall I would lie awake in the twilight hours Await the break of day A last goodbye a word I thought I would never have to say Break my fall Break my fall I’m out of tune a broken chord Without a last refrain I need, I need your soulful harmony To bring me back again To feel this was and never say a word An ache I have to bear The pain it shows, yet the silence grows Of this broken love affair Break my fall Break my fall I’m out of tune a broken chord Without a last refrain I need, I need your soulful harmony To bring me back again I could have the riches of an oil sheik billionaire Or a villa on an island with views beyond compare But what then would it mean to me if you’re not there at all I’d give it free if you would be My final port of call I’m out of tune a broken chord Without a last refrain I need, I need your soulful harmony To bring me back again Take it all Break my fall Break my fall

Cathy Come Home 04:53
lyrics

Cathy Come Home Cathy Come home you have turned 23 With a child how do you cope on your own I hear he has left, do you think he’ll be back Maybe he’s found someone else? There’s so much to do with a child on your own We worry for the boy There’s so much to do with a child on your own We worry for the boy Each day our thoughts are with you Cathy come home you have turned 28 Has the boy started school and is he well Is there a man in your life And do you ever get out And have you someone else in yet to share? There’s so much to do with a child on your own We worry for the boy There’s so much to do with a child on your own We worry for the boy Each day our thoughts are with you Cathy come home you have turned 31 I hear you’ve got back on your feet Your father is poorly and he asks for you still And is the boy as big as they say? There’s so much to do with a child on your own We worry for the boy There’s so much to do with a child on your own We worry for the boy Each day our thoughts are with you Cathy come home your boy’s all but grown I can see him just like you I was with your father right up to the end The pictures you sent meant so much There’s not much to do now I’m living alone I still worry for the boy There’s not much to do now I’m living alone I still worry for the boy Each day my thoughts are with you

Leather Boy 04:22
lyrics

Leather Boy Alfie was a leather boy a cafe racer ace On a Triumph Speed Twin '53 Built for Speed and grace Vera was a rocker girl wore Lewis Leather gear Spent each night at the Ace cafe Where Alfie might appear Roland came from money rode a Moto Guzzi Twin Said. 'Let's do the Juke Box dare And let the best man win' Put a tanner in the Payola, Del Shannon's Runaway A kick start and a twist grip Set free the deadly play Caught between two lovers in one space Vera stood and cursed this reckless race She was Roland's from the start But Alfie came and stole her heart She was Roland's from the start But Alfie came and stole her heart On a sweeping left hand bend Alfie took the lead But Roland made the inside line Alf carried too much speed Vera waited at the Payola When only one machine roared back Alfie and Del Shannon Had both run out of track Alfie and Del Shannon Had both run out of track Caught between two lovers in one space A reminder of that reckless race To this day Vera's love for Alf stayed true Secretly she knew Roland loved him too She was Roland's from the start But Alfie came and stole their hearts She was Roland's from the start But Alfie came and stole their hearts Alfie was a leather boy a cafe racer ace Alfie was a leather boy a cafe racer ace
