Good Enough
Here’s something I made earlier
It’s not all right, but it’s not all wrong
No masterpiece
I made it up as I went along
Is it good – enough?
Well it’s no perfect 10
I didn’t smash it – I smashed it up again
And should it stand or fall
I didn’t nail it – when I nailed it to the wall
I’m not looking for absolution
Can’t even tell you what that means
No promised land, no milk and honey
No all or nothing, just somewhere in between
To live the dream now – it’s never what it seems
To play this dream out – and nothing less than love
Is good enough, good enough
To fix this busted place
To see in colour, past the colour of her face
Still I don’t understand
We live in pieces – every woman every man
I’m still looking for resolution
A revolution in my head
Better wake up, come together
Sisters brothers we can sleep when we are dead
So live the dream now - it’s never what it seems
Let’s play this dream out - And nothing less than love
Is good enough is good enough
To live this dream out – D-Damascene now
And nothing less than love
Is good enough, good enough is good enough
Come all you dealers
You fearless unbelievers
Come on you holy rollers
You demons winners losers
Live the dream now - play this dream out
Nothing less than love – is good enough, is good enough
Is good enough.

Cosmonaut
Hey it’s me - calling out on all redundant frequencies
Don’t think you’d know this place
It’s all changed, re-arranged
It all went wrong
You lost your anchor and the ship was gone
Now you’re drifting on the solar wind
Fading out, fading in
What’s it like on the other side?
What’s it like, oh brother?
Cosmonaut – cosmonaut
Are you still on the outer reaches of your inner space?
Still surfing time and innocence
Of this world, in that place?
I had a dream
Of all the stars that you and I have seen
Of distant galaxies and stranger things
Ghostwritten – on your face
What’s it like now you’re flying blind?
What’s it like, dying
Cosmonaut – cosmonaut
Sometimes something reminds me
A song comes to find me
From all the places we’ve been
Where words are unspoken, lifelines unbroken
In memory – in memory
Cosmonaut – cosmonaut
Maybe I was dreaming
Catch me I am falling
I am falling

World Is Not Enough

The World is Not Enough
Ever day's an ordinary day
You can't believe tomorrow will be any other wa
I'll go with you through this land,
When you think the world is not enough
Read the future in your hands
When you feel the world is not enough
This world is not enough
You tell me that the sun will never rise
The darkness has put out the light behind your eyes
Take your time, all things will pass
When you think you've fallen out of love
Hold the moment, make it last
When you feel you've fallen out of love
And this world is not enough
One for sorrow, two for joy
All this time alone makes Jack a dull, dull boy
Where's the child who used to play?
In these four walls that echo with your own voice saying
The world is not enough - you've fallen out of love
Everybody's waiting for the fall
We are only flesh and blood and human after all
When I slip and lose my place
Tell me that my best is good enough
Days when I can't show my face
Days when I have fallen out of love
And the world is not enough
This world is not enough

Going Down
Fifty-five years digging this hole
Keeps filling up and I never hit gold (going down)
Good with my head, good with my hand,
Has someone got a job for the invisible man? (going down)
Gotta keep the fire inside
Grow a thick skin where the thin one died (going down)
They say that life is what you make it
You’ve got to pick this up and shake it
And shake it, shake it down
The game’s changed, I’ve got to start again
But I don’t know the rules
So how’m I gonna win and turn it round?
Black dog - visit every day
He’s gonna steal my life away and take me down
They say that life is what you make it
You’ve got to pick it up and shake it
Sometimes I feel my heart is breaking
Breaking down
I’ve been here since I don’t know when
Let’s have another drink and play the old song again
Spin it round
Let’s have another drink and play the old song again (going down)
Let’s have another drink and play the old song again (going down)

THE OTHER SIDE / LIBERATION ROAD
We’ll see you on the other side
Scared and young and beautiful
Beneath a thunder sky
We’ll see you on the other side
Beneath a thunder sky
We’ll see you on the other side
The other side
Woodrow Speed put a bullet in his head
Flushing them out of the eagle’s nest
Kept on shooting then he laughed and said
We’re going all the way, like the wild, wild west
Took a jeep to the edge of town
They were dug in by the road and they took him down
He was crying for his mother as I watched him bleed
Just a piece fallen off the big machine
That rolls - rolls - rolls - down Liberation Road
That rolls – rolls – rolls - to liberation…
Eddy wasn’t one for putting on a show
A regular guy, an ordinary Joe with a rifle
And a 36 grenade
Lost count of the kills he made but
Man, you should’ve seen him run
Screaming like a banshee in the noonday sun
For a gentle guy he could be so mean
Just another cog in the big machine
All along the line they were singing – na na na
Sitting by the fire with both bars on
Wondering where the years have gone
No heros –you’ve got to understand
The medals on my chest hide a haunted man
And hey – it’s a new world now
It don’t care why and it don’t care how
Don’t want to hear ‘bout what I’ve seen
Too busy looking at the big machine
That rolls - rolls - rolls - down Liberation Road
That rolls – rolls – rolls - to liberation…

Losing You Again
I think I know you
I still remember time to time
The bonds that hold me here
They strain with every year that passes
Pulling me out of this atmosphere
Where reception’s dropping out
I’m losing you again
Here there’s no talking
Just slow slow walking
We’re lost in all our yesterdays
Hold me while this moment passes
Tell me that my world is still the same
Can you feel me fading out?
I’m losing you again
We are more than memory
Even when I’m cold as distant stars
I will always be with you
It’s human nature
She bends she breaks us all apart
Makes us strangers
Who learn to deal with broken hearts
Time will turn the child into the man will turn into the child and then
The lights start going out
We lose ourselves again
Don’t think I know you
I don’t remember every time
I don’t remember

Me and My Dog
Me and my dog, we’ve got places to go
Taking the road in the sun and the wind and the snow
Places to go
Me and my dog, we’ve got places to be
Walking along in the silence, my dog and me
We’ve got places to be
Out of mind, out of sight
In the dark and in the light
We go left, we go right, through the trees
When it’s all falling down
Don’t look back, don’t turn around
We can walk out of town, you and me
Me and my dog, we don’t talk things through
But we work it all out, and somehow we get to the truth
It’s just what we do
Under the sky, over the ground
Time passes by, digging for things to be found
They hide underground
(Chorus)
Me and my dog, out here every day
Chasing the leaves and the clouds and the blues away
Chasing the blues away…

Happy Now?
Are you listening? Is it static on the line?
Or me talking? Or the voices in your mind?
Are you happy now? Are you happy now?
Years go by in dreams of turning water into wine
Now your cup is overflowing
‘Cos you finished all of mine
Is anybody home? Hello, can you hear me?
You’ve broken everything, that I held near me
Can you hear me?
Are you happy now? Are you happy now?
May your life be ever joyful
May your brand-new love prevail
May you find the road to heaven
With a hellhound on your tail
Is anybody home? Come on, I’m still waiting
You used to be the one who did the explaining
I’m still waiting, now you’ve broken everything
Is anybody home? Is anybody home? Is anybody home?
Are you happy now?
I am happy now.

Annie’s on Another Star
Here’s another letter I can’t send
Can’t find the words, but then again
How did I ever doubt you?
How do I live without you?
I made a friend across the street
You always said I’d find my feet
But I still think about you
How could I ever doubt you?
Annie’s on another star
She is out there somewhere flying
Annie’s on another star
And I know she’s shining
I’m still waiting for the sun
You lie beneath another one
But each day I bless the weather
So what if it rains forever?
(Chorus)
Every night I watch the sky
Trying to find a way to say goodbye
I had to tell you this, I had to tell you this
I had to tell you this
(Chorus)

You’ve Got To Go
Of all the things I’ve done, the finest one was living
Can you forgive me now, for life is unforgiving?
I was never the perfect man, I hope you understand
When you’ve got to go – when you’ve got to go
Most of my friends are gone, I won’t be far behind them
I don’t know where they are, I wonder if I’ll find them
Don’t want to see this through, but what are you going to do?
When you’ve got to go – now I’ve got to go
Heaven or hell or someplace in between
I don’t really care
But when my life flashes by, in front of my eyes
Can you please slow it down at the bits where I just wasn’t there?
It seems like yesterday the road went on forever
I’d watch you run and run and play in the sun together
You were my perfect song
I was lucky to sing along
But I’ve got to go, now I’ve got to go
I’ve just got to go…
