BEAUTIFUL BOYS
There’s fine line, Between you and I, And what I find, Gets me each time. Maybe there’s a place where we can all go, Far away on top of a hill, Who knows, What we might find, Under the sky, Just you and I. Beautiful boy. Where the wild things, Run with the wind, And you say, So many, Impossible, Things.
Maybe we could all just go for a drive, Find a little cave, Where we can all hide, Light candles inside, And see what we find, There lost in time. Inside there’s a Tiger, A brave little fighter, Have fun with your wings, You can be anything. Light up the sky, With that look in your eyes, Say what you feel, Do what you will. Beautiful boy, For two little boys.

IN THE LONG
GRAS S
Butter Cups, Fairy cakes, Fluffy clouds and your funny face, Feeling your way, With the words that you say, In the long long grass, All day long. I kissed you and I missed you, As I wanted to be with you, All of the time. Go with the flow with you, Grow with you, Wicked and wild. All that there is, And the time before this, In the moment that is, Now, Now, Now, That moment is now.
Little bugs Buzzing round, Falling and upside down, Laughing without a sound, In the long long grass, All day long. You sneezed and we teased, Till you fell on your knees, Won’t you stop this running around, Go with the flow with you, Grow with you, Wicked and wild. All that there is, And the time before this, In the moment that is, Now, Now, Now, Just Kiss me right now, That moment is, NOW.

NEW
MOON
In the blink of an eye Over changing time, Feel the sense of the tide, As the oceans rise, Take a breath in the air, In this silent light. As you ride through the sky, On the darkest night, Take a breath in the air As I hold you there, On the ground, All around, Let me take your hair, Through the blink of an eye, With a silent mind. To the brink of the edge, Where we can share. New Moon, Could it be, The way that you move, Could it be, The way that you groove,
Feel the, Light on the water, Exploding with dreams, Floating with colours, That you might perceive, Exploring in circles, Like a wave machine. In a moment of time, As the lights go low, Watch your breath in the air, let me take you home, Through a door in the sky, Like a distant glow, To a place in your minds, Only silence knows, To the brink of the edge, Where we, Will, Explode.

DIAMONDS
Once you feel you found diamonds inside of your soul, Feel it in your heart now and you won’t loose control, Even if you want more time to let it all flow, Take a piece of my mind now and watch that wind blow, With what you know now, Because you know now. Could it be the way you hold me, then don’t let me go, Once you feel you found diamonds inside of your soul, Turn the pages of time now and watch as we grow. With what you know now, Because you know now.
In those wide open spaces and places, Where we hang around, If it’s mind over matter, It’s not what you say, It’s the sound, All that you want now you’ve got it. I won’t let you down. Take a good look all around, And see what you feel, Within you, Know, Now, With what you know now Because you, Know me now. Om mani pad-me hum Om mani pad-me hum

SYNTHESIS
Candy flip days, All in a haze, Be my whirl wind girl, Your marmalade curls, In this orange world, be my whirl wind pearl, With your make believe dreams, If you happen to see, Through this, Spinning Wheel,, As synthesis sighs, And you close one of your eyes, In this whirl wind world. Make up with the light on, Get right on, Till we disappear, In the moment you know that the sound of the silence is clear, Over and over and over till we disappear, Over and over, Because we have no fear. United we fall, When you know how it goes, And you say so, Sky blue pink, And Purple as the oceans and pearls you know, In your marmalade skies, As you look at you find, Our worlds collide, Synthesis sighs, As you close both your eyes, And we explode inside.
In this moment, You know that, The sound of the silence is clear, Over and over and over, Till we disappear, Over and over, Because we have no fear. As synthesis sighs, And you close, Both your eyes. I am here.
12
ZOOT SUIT
In your Zoot suit and shiny shoes, Do what you wanna do, You’ve got nothing to loose. You make me feel hypnotised, Make me feel alive, Just be feline, And ride the bass line. What do you say about you and me, Going on holiday, What do you say about you and me, Going all the way. Zoot suit and shiny shoes Do what you wanna do, You’ve Got nothing to prove. So Baby what defines, Check your body line, While Looking for Eves Klien, Let me ride your waste line. What do you say about you and me, Going all the way, On holiday. Get high when we fly there, Get high when we arrive there, Get high as we leigh there. What do you say about you and me, Going all the way, On holiday,
Northern lights shine, Baby what defines, Looking for Eves Klien, Follow the time line, Feel the bass line, Do the Boogaloo, Meet you in the grove, Lemon haze days. What do you say about you and me, Going all the way, On holiday. Get high as we arrive there, Get high as we leigh there, Get high all the time there. Pick up your make up and shoes, And act like you’ve got nothing to loose. Zoot suit and shiny shoes, Do what you wanna do, Northern lights shine, Feel the bass line, Do the Boogaloo, Meet you in the grove, Ride your waste line. Get high when we arrive there, Get high when we leigh there, Get high all the time there. Kick of your make up and shoes, And act like you got nothing to prove. 14
BECAUSE OF YOUR SMILE
Because of your smile, Once in a while, We can be wild, I’ll show you how. If you have any doubts, Let them all out, If your running away, Or you just want to play. Maybe baby, lets go crazy, Give it up and just be lazy. Because of your smile, Once in a while, We can be wild. If it’s all in a kiss, And it goes like this, Because I’m a cat, And I’m bad like that. Maybe baby, lets be lazy, Give it up and f**k like crazy. What can i do, When I’m mad about you.
Because of your smile, Once in a while We can be wild. When your spinning around, Making some sounds, If your running away, Or you just want to play. Maybe baby, lets be crazy, Give it up and make a baby. NOW

EVERYTHINGS
GONE
GREEN
Everything has gone green, And there is nothing in-between, Is it all as it seems, Or is it just a dream, This turquoise sea, And the ocean breeze, When your lying here, Next to me. I don’t know, If you will ever know, How much this means to me, I don’t want to leave, I don’t ever want to leave, It’s all gone green. Everything has gone green, And there is nothing in-between, This emerald sea, And the ocean breeze, When your lying there, So close to me, On beach number three. And I know now, If I can hear those sounds, Of this reality, I just want to be, We will never have to leave, As it’s all gone green. Where there’s nothing in-between, And you can float with me, Like a hollow tree, Because nothing is, As it seems. Everything has gone green,
18
LI TTLE
SISTER
When you float like a river And fly to the sea, If time takes you know where, Then just let it be. Go get your coat girl, It’s time that we leave, Open a door through all that we breath. Hay little sister, If you know what it means, You hurt me like a blister, And every where, In-between, I should have never
kissed you, And put you in a magazine.
Because I know, And you know, Like the fire, That burns on the ground.
So go where you want to, And say what you feel, Don’t let them hurt you, Just do what is real. Go get your coat now, It’s time that we leave, Open your eyes through the Door we can breath. Hey little sister, If you know what it means, You know when I kissed you, and every where in between, I herd it like a whisper, When I put you in a magazine.
And you know, And I know, Our feet well they won’t touch the ground.

SUPER SONIC
In your super sonic colour coded shoes, It doesn’t matter which way you choose, I think I got it by the love of grace, In this cinematic oceanic state, Lets fill our pockets full of cooky cakes, And ride our rockets’ into outer space. Only you know, Only you know, How I wonder, How we will grow, When do you wanna go home. I know your mother thinks that I’m insane, It doesn’t matter there’s no one to blame, With your super sonic enigmatic gaze, I’m sure we can figure out a way, To get us out of here and take you home, Where we will never ever be alone.
It doesn’t realy matter what they say, We have our cinematic oceanic ways, By the look of disbelief on her face, You’d think we were from outer space, In our super sonic colour coded shoes, We are never ever going to loose. Only you know, Only you know, How I wonder, How we will grow, When do you wanna go home.
22
GARDEN HOUSE I Found a little place, On the inside out, Where the garden grows, Inside a house. Oh, And the river flows, There round and about, I found a little chair, In the corner there, Where I sit and think about, The length of your hair, And I wonder wether you, Have been there, Do you ever get the feeling, There’s some one else, But you just don’t know, And you just don’t care, If any one is there. How many miles would you go, If you new, All that it takes, Don’t break it, Or fake it, How many times could you fly, And get high, From lying in you bed, And looking right inside your head.
How many ways, Could you climb, If you tried, Changing and floating, Expanding, From, Inside.
All you need to know, Is how your garden grows, All you need to know, Is how your garden grows, Over and over, Un till your head Explodes.

WITH THE
WIND
IN
YOUR
HAIR
I so admire that you made it, With the wind in your hair, As you fall and float, Like you want to, With the wind in your hair, There’s no need for tomorrow, When you are there. Inside you, Inside us all, There’s a Faun, We can dance all we want to, I’m so glad that you made it, With the wind in your hair, When we fall and float, Like we want to, When we are there, Lets me fall a sleep, In your forrest, With the wind in your hair. Inside you, Inside us all, Like a Faun, We can dance all we want to, I so admire that you made it, With the wind in your hair, There’s a blue sky in my pocket, And the wind in my hair, Let me fall a sleep, In your forrest, Then we are there. Inside you, Inside us all, Is a Faun, We can dance all we want to
WALKING IN NEW SHOES
Walking in new shoes, Nothing much to prove, Floating in the air, As if you just don’t care, Come on lets jump a train, And get us out the rain, Maybe it’s the way, You look at me and say. I noticed, There’s something in you, You showed me all there is to do, And I gave it all up, You know it don’t mean nothing, Because there was nothing else I could do. When you are, Walking in new shoes, Floating in the air, Maybe it’s the way, You look at me each day, could it be the time, I’m thinking of a way, To tell you all the right, Things I want to say. I noticed. There’s something in you, You showed me all there is to do, And I gave it all up, You know it don’t mean nothing, because there was nothing else we could do. 28
A SURREALIST LOVE
SONG
I wish I wish, I was a fish, If I was a fish, And you were too, We could swim in the deep blue sea, Yes just you and me. Swimming around, Grooving around, To some fishy sounds. I wish I wish, I was a fish, If I was a fish and you were too, What colour would you like to be? Red and yellow or pink and blue.
If I were a fish and you were to, It would’t matter what colour, I’d still be in love with you, I wish I wish, I was a fish, And you were too A big black fish, Or a little red fish, It doesn’t really matter . I would still be in love with you.
LITTLE
STARS
If you push up daisy, And you think I’m crazy, Well thats just maybe, Because I am. If life’s just a game, Do you want a play. When I hear you calling, And feel you falling, Inside there’s something, It could be nothing, But that is ok, If we are all the same, Then don’t walk away. Because you are my little stars, And this is for you, Where ever you are.
One foot forward, And two steps back, As I feel I’m turning, Inside it’s burning, With an open heart, If we are all the same, Then come here and say. Because this is for you, Where ever you are, Because you, Are my little stars.

BEAUTIFUL DAY Follow the wind as she blows, Trust every turn that you know, Ride every wave as it goes, Existence as clear as it flows. What could you change, Wide open skies, Beautiful day, Your driving me wild in every way. In the silence that follows the storm, You light up my eyes. Dance to the sound you can’t hear, Follow it in, Disappear, Open your heart to the air, Breath every second that your there, Trust in the wave as it flows. What’s there to change, Those wide open skies, That blow me away, Your driving me wild, In every way. In the silence, That follows the storm, You light up my eyes.

It doesn’t matter what the fuck you say, We are a million miles apart anyway. I know you want to drive me insane, So many times you have cried, And now it’s to late. And so you seem to think it is ok, But all in all, You have changed. Bella Donna, Can’t you see, All you tried to do Is poison me, Bella Donna, Can’t you see, Your never ever going to find me. I have herd every word you say, And it does n’t make much sense anyway, A million miles between us grow each day, To run around in circles is insane. Now you know, how it goes, I won’t take another bloody nose. Now you see, What you have done to me, I won’t be your rudy rose, Bella Donna, Can’t you see, All you tried to do Was poison me, Bella Donna Can’t you see, Your never ever going to find me, Bella Donna, Can’t you see, Your never ever going to funk with me.

MEANING
Millions of colours and rainbows that hang in the air, Four hundred Fire Flies and Dragon Flies everywhere, As the sun goes down, And your Moon comes around, And the world spins round, With You. When I leigh here with you, When I have cried with you, How many colours can you see inside of your head, When we cum together, Forever, Inside and the rest, As the sun goes down, And your Moon comes around And I go down, On you,
When I leigh here with you, When I have cried with you When I fly with you. Three Eight One, Look what we have just done, Three Eight One, Because I think you’r the one, Three Eight One, Because I know, And you know, And I know, No no no, Yes. When I leigh here with you, When I have cried with you When I fly with you. To the Moon.

BOMBASTIC
Got a minute to explain, Maybe baby it’s just a game, All I see is what I feel, Starring back at me is it real, Even if I could have found, Something else in you so profound, Even if I could describe, Another way you cam blow my mind. Oh I feel apart of this, Hope you feel apart of this too. Yesterday I felt so sure, Now today I’m lying on the floor, Starring here into outer space, Disappearing without a trace, It takes a second to understand, What it is we held in our hands. Have a bombastic time with yourself, Until you find some one else if it helps, Take time to let your self be, If you want time to run and be free, If you find there’s no easy way out, Then take time and let it all out. Oh I feel apart of this, Hope you feel apart of this too.
44
UNDERSTAND Running away now, Running away, Running till you find the words to say, Maybe tonight now, Maybe today, Maybe there is something you’d like to say, Even if I could read your mind, Find out what it was you wanted to explain. If what you say, Is what you feel, Then you know, That this is real, Then you’l finally understand. As the waves of the ocean collide, Moving mountains of emotion inside, The pain and the passion survive, Taking us back to the beginning of time .
If what you say is what you feel, Then you know this love is real, When you finally understand, What we have in our hands, When you, Follow it through, Maybe it’s true, What can we do. When you find the time, The space inside, Your’l find, It’s up to you. If what you say is what you feel, Then you know this love is real, When you finally understand, All I wanted was to hold your hand. And find a place, In time and space, Where we can live, And love, And give. It’s up to you,
46
NEIMA
Manumission, As you change position, With your eyes that glisten, Do you ever listen, To new religion. In your head, lets go to bed, That’s what you said, In your eyes, A Tiger cries, So many times. Because you are a dreamer, Niema, As wild as the eyes, Of a Tiger, Have you seen her. Automatic, Can you feel the static, It’s just like magic, And your so dramatic. In your eyes, A Tiger cries, In your head, lets go to bed, That’s what you said, Your such a screamer. Such a dreamer. Transcendental Experimental, Existential, Lets go mental. In your eyes, The Tiger cries, Your such a screamer, Such a Dreamer. Niema.
SEPTEMBER Your funny face, Tells me that it’s time to escape, So lets ride on a wave, And see where it might take us today, When I’m lying here awake, Thinking that there’s no better place. It’s a long way back home, There’s a long way to go, So long as you know, There’s no wrong or right way to go, I won’t ever let you go, When there’s mud on your face, I guess we all sometimes make mistakes, Won’t you make up your mind, Before we both think it’s just to late. It’s a long way for us to go, There’s a long way back home, So long as you know There’s no wrong or right way to go, Lets ride the white line all the way home, Because I won’t ever let you go.
What ever it is you perceive, I will be there for you as you dream, Light up the sky feel the breeze, Let me carry you there as you sleep. It’s a long way for us to go, There’s a long way back home, So long as you know There’s no wrong or right way to go, Lets ride the white line all the way home, Because I won’t ever let you go, No I won’t ever let you go.

W H E R E E VE R Y O U G O
Where ever you go, What ever you say, Who ever you find, I’ll always be true. Got to go now, It’s time to believe in this life you perceive, If you know now, The time is for you, To follow your heart and your dreams. Where ever you go, What ever you find, Where ever you stay, I’ll always be, right behind you, if you ever needed me, Not that you do.
Got to go now, It’s time to believe in this light you perceive, If you know now, The time is for you to follow your heart and your dreams, Got to go now, Its time to believe in this life that you lead. When you fall down, Down on the ground. If you fall down, Pick your self up, And turn it Turn it Around.
54
VARANASI
You asked me why, How big is the sky, And whats that inside, The sound of your eye lashes, brushing my side.
Feel it the morning, When you are falling, And you know There is something, I like about you. All I ever new, Was the thought that i had, When I first caught a glimpse, In my eyes of you. I held you so close in my hands, Because I knew, That you would understand, All that you are aware, And the air that you breath, As you stand, By, Me. You Asked me why, How big is the sky, And I new, You, Because I felt it, This time.
True blue, As big as your’l find. Open up your eyes, And your’l find, There is not much inside, But the colours, Will always be true. All I ever new was the thought that I had, When you opened the gates in my hands, And I fell right through. You Asked me why, How big is the sky, And I new, Because I felt it, This time. True blue, You, As big as your eyes.
WAITING
FOR
YOU
In my pocket, I’ve got a ticket, That will take us too, While I’m waiting, What I’m thinking, We are gonna do, It doesn’t matter if your late, Because I will still be true, You can call me baby, Well thats all right, Because I won’t let you down. As I wait for you. If you call me baby, Well thats all right, I think your crazy too, While I’m waiting, I’ll be thinking, What it is we’ll do, I hear your singing, Feel your breathing, Touch your, Every move. As I wait for you Tonight. Like a bird, I can fly, And I can dream if I want to, Like the snail, And the whale, We can travel the world as we want to, You and I. As I wait for you As I wait with you Tonight.
58
CAMOMILE TIME Have you ever wondered why, There might be Camomile time, When you look and you find, That time just stops still, In a moment of will, Like a wild English rose, Slip away, Fall away, As we float for an hour, Like a bird with a flower, When you open and say, With words you inspire, To be here today, Open and clear, Have you ever wondered why There might be Camomile time, When you look and you find, With the words that you say, Slip away, Fall away, As you take of your clothes, Here today, As you stay, Like a wild English rose, From darkness to light Won’t you hold me so tight All through the night. Lucy you, This is all because of you, This afternoon, When I’m curled up with you From the tip of your nose, To the bridge of your nose, To the curl of you toes, Thats how it goes.
60
MANDY
Where do you say you wanna go tonight, On the edge of feeling you just might. When Mandy comes and takes you out of your breath, Tomorrow we can spend all day in bed. All made up as if you wanna play, So tell me if you wanna go or stay. When Mandy comes and gets you out of your head. Tomorrow we can spend all day in bed. Your turning me on girl, Your turning me on world. Because Mandy knows it’s going to be all right, Before you know it she’s got you up all night. Loved up on the sofa here we go, On the edge of feeling we might blow. When Mandy comes and takes you out of your breath, Tomorrow we can spend all day in bed. Your turning me on girl, Your turning me on world, Your turning my radio on. If you want to stay in touch, I guess we just keep meeting up, Although we don’t have to say that much, I feel it now when we just touch. Your turning me on girl, Your turning me on world, Your turning my radio on.
64
UHURU Better not give up, just try again, What it is, I’de like to find out when, Watch the voice inside your head, Because it will be all right in the end, When you, Now longer have to pretend, What it is, You’l find out when, You, Know who you are, Uhuru you are, Uhuru, You, Are.
Feel it in your conscious, Slip away, Feel it your heart, And drift away, Whisper words inside your head, Spend the day curled up with you in bed, Because we now longer have to pretend, What it is we found out when, You, Know who you are, Uhuru you are, Hold me so close in your arms, Hold me so close in your heart, Don’t let me go in your arms. Uhuru you are, Uhuru you are.
66
I simply dedicate this book to my brother Byron who left this world just befor his 18th Birthday His un conditional love and joy for life was a great inspiration. and continues to be so I have met him a few times since.
