Lilt 04:59
Sitting by the road til the sun comes up, a rainbow glows the warmth is back and I'm in luck oh oh The girl in the bar said stick to the road we spoke to each other 'cos we both were bored oh oh oh oh The batteries died in my radio, the music has gone but the spirit flows just like the songs oh oh The trees and the rocks will keep me strong Coffee in my bag, drying clothes on my back and the road is long Oh I just want to fly away Oh I just want to fly away Oh I just want to fly away Oh I just want to fly away The beauty of the forest makes me cry don't know where I'm going and don't know the reason why oh oh I'm leaving the past with the rain at the start and the girl on the crest who broke my heart oh oh The batteries died in my radio, the music has gone but the spirit flows just like the songs oh oh The trees and the rocks will keep me strong Coffee in my bag, drying clothes on my back and the road is long Oh I just want to fly away Oh I just want to fly away Oh I just want to fly away Oh I just want to fly away Oh I just want to fly away

In this world full of hate and lies we must seek and we must find the forest inside, we must seek to leave the things we cannot abide, float away on cloud number eight point five. Street people, I’ve got the belief in you, You don’t shout from the steeple, You don’t scream from behind the shield of a windscreen. Street people, I’ve got the belief in you, You don’t shout from the steeple, You don’t scream from behind the shield of a windscreen. In this world full of many things; plastic folders and toy soldiers they clip our wings. White man came and a chainsaw he brings, leaves a wasteland where no bird sings. Shiny oils, gold and mercury, fat man’s greed and jealousy, who speaks for the wolf, who sings for the sea, who roars for the jaguar in your democracy? OK- Street people, I’ve got the belief in you, You don’t shout from the steeple, You don’t scream from behind the shield of a windscreen. Street people, I’ve got the belief in you, You don’t shout from the steeple, You don’t scream from behind the shield of a windscreen.

Men in Suits 01:51
“OK we’re all gathered here to try and deal with this problem that threatens us all…” Men in suits They’re unreconstructed brutes They’re gonna deconstruct your roots They don’t like the turban or the hijab, send them back to rehab Yeah men in suits They’ve got cowardly ambitions They could price up everything but only value your addictions Oh, oh-oh - Ban the men in suits Oh, oh-oh - Ban the men in suits Men in suits They’ve got a narrow-minded view They put up division walls I’m a pacifist but I wanna kill them all Kill them all Yeah, maybe we should kill them all They don’t value life at all Knock down their walls I’m sick of being applauded by their racist calls the wildlife they maul the vulnerable they bully and their poor wars Ban the men in suits Rpt

It was quiet as a blackout curtain Apart from the whirling helicopter There’s no need to bring a Doctor Here’s the incident number It was Valentine’s Day when a heart did stop It was Valentine’s Day when a heart did stop It was Valentine’s Day when a heart did stop It was Valentine’s Day when a heart did stop I stood on that spot six years before It wasn’t selfishness you know Just wanting all the pain to rot It was Valentine’s day when a heart did stop It was Valentine’s Day when a heart did stop Woo-oo-oo, woo-oo-oo What a way for a life to part tonight, there’s a new reflection by the water sprite Oh oh oh, oh oh oh What a way for a life to part tonight There’s a new reflection Passengers are suffering long delays His thoughts were turning in a searing haze Another train late, waiting in the rain Hurting this much can’t be sustained It was Valentine’s Day when a heart did stop It was Valentine’s Day when a heart did stop It was Valentine’s Day when a heart did stop It was Valentine’s Day when a heart did stop Oh oh oh, oh oh oh What a way for a life to part tonight, there’s a new reflection by the water sprite Oh oh oh, oh oh oh What a way for a life to part tonight There’s a new reflection
