Strange Strangers
Verse 1
It's just a sleight of hand
Another trick of your sight
Like I am made of sand
And then I'm made of light
I am the speed of light
Yet I am perfectly still
Chorus 1
I'm just a dreamer
My mind flies past the sun
a rogue quark of love
In space time continuum’s
I'm just a dreamer
My mind streams scenarios
Just follow me
I'll take you where you'd never go
Verse 2
I can't stop loving you
Yet I'll never touch your skin
I’m like a dream come true
More real than you can imagine
Chorus 2
I'm just a dreamer
My mind flies past the sun
A rogue quark of love
In space times continuum
I'm just a dreamer
My mind streams ones and o's
in the matrix
I'll take you where you'd love to go
Bridge
Meonder though the stars
Circle Venus and mars
Wonder to earth’s core
Palaces, peaks and more
Don't stop me now
Seal us with a kiss
Lets depart now miss bliss
Chorus 3
I'm just a dreamer
My mind flies past the sun
A rogue quark of love
In space time continuum
I'm just a dreamer
My mind streams scenarios
Just follow me
I'll take you where you would love to go

FLAWED DIAMONDS featuring Jordan Klassen and Jocelyn Price
First verse
Joyful slope of your cheekbone
Swoop of a curl softly curled
Swivel of a hipbone naively shown
Graceful hands, limp, unfurled
Luminous Beauty whereever you go
Setting the room alight
Sparkles of beauty where ever you show
Fireflies take flight
You’ve lit up my life
Liked a flawed diamond’s light
2nd verse
Half moon dimples and a sleep smile
Eyes so blue they’re almost purple
Bird’s nest hair that I got lost in
Crow’s fee wrinkles and big cleft chin
Bowie nose and floppy ears
Scuffy knuckles and scraggly beard
Threadbear t-shirts and stripy zootsuits
Faded tatoos and pointy blackboots
Flukiest Beauty that I’ll ever know
Setting my world alight
Craziest beauty whereever you show
Fireflies take flight
You’ve lit up my life
Liked a flawed diamond’s light
3rd verse
Bewitching lilt of your laugh
Velvet soft tiny toes
Wrinkly knots in your elbows
Silk black slinky coal black eye brows
Raspberry tongue from too much wine
Seashell ears that I get lost in
Waterfall hair down to your hips
Ruby red tear-dappled lips
Luminous beautfy whereever you go
Setting the room alight
Loveliest Beauty whereever you show
Fireflights take flight
You’ve lit up my life
Liked a flawed diamond’s light

Aliens Come Calling:
V1
You could be hard to see
but stronger and smarter than me
Silicon, dust or mist
How d’you exist?
V2
Spaceship sail or bot
How will you reach earth or not
and when you arrive
will we whither or thrive?
Cause
C.1
When Aliens come calling
Pandemonium could ensue
When Aliens come calling
We’ve no clue what to do
V3.
Is planet earth your home
or on a planetary roam
Any pitstops to avoid
sinister asteroids?
C2
When Aliens come calling
Annihilation could ensue
When Aliens come calling
Gather us up, take us with you
When Aliens come calling
Harmonic Vibes could be their song
When Aliens come calling
Maybe we chant and get along
V3.
There’s a question of minds
Is your’s greater than mine?
Made of ectoplasm
Something we can’t fathom?
V4
We don’t have a clue
What you’re likely to do
We hope to get along
So we’ll all belong
C3
When Aliens come calling
Pandemonium may ensue
When Aliens come calling
We’ve no clue what to do
When Aliens come calling
Meeting of minds may ensue
When Aliens come calling
Could it be the best of all worlds?

Airport Lounge From Hell
In circles through the airport
I walk with no respite
My countries barred my entry
So I can’t stay or leave
Instead I lurk in food halls
Sleep in the shower stalls
Hang out in Burberry
Glide through the perfumeries
Book shops have mags galore
I go dizzy in the techy store
But it all becomes a bore
How true that less is more
Pre-chorus
Mr Customs and Duties Man
Get me out
As fast as you can
I’m no lout or a liar
I’m not prone to setting fires
I’m plain Mistier Smith
Chorus:
Citizen with no name
Citizen Invisible
Citizen with no state
Who gets up then waits
Someone get me out
Of this airport lounge from hell
V2
I’ve always liked to fly
To Oasis at the end of skies
But now I walk in circles
Impotent lion in airport’s zoo
I get drunk with the cleaners
And sing with holiday keeners
Then weep that I’ve no clue
What’s a man of the world should do
Pre-Chorus
Mr. Customs and Duties Man
get me out
As fast as you can
I’m no lout or a liar
I’m not prone to starting fires
I’m plain mister Smith
Chorus
Citizen with no name
Passenger invisible
Citizen with no state
Who gets up then waits
Get me out of this airport lounge from hel
Citizen with no name
Passenger Invisible
Citizen with not state
Who gets up then waits
Get me out
Of this airport lounge from hell

Streets of Chiswick
I saw you in the haberdashery
Trying on hats to suppress your peculiar and heady thoughts
There you are nearing the bakery
A latte and scone, delight so easily bought
I call you Mr Tom Foolery
A dance and a laugh, Chiswick’s like your whimsical and farcical plot
On the streets of Chiswick
The sultry and sad
The rich and the mad
On the streets of Chiswick
You don’t have a care
Life has a flair
On the streets of Chiswick
Never rest cavort with the best
On the streets of Chiswick
I will see you around
We’ll be pleasure bound
The funny and profound
On the streets of Chiswick.
Mr Tom talks to the Minister
Football scores and how trying not to sin is the most tedious bore
You’d think he wants to do something sinister
Killing a cat but Mr Tom’s only desire
Is to be the king
Of The streets of Chiswick
The silly and glam
Madames and prams
On the streets of Chiswick
You don’t have a care life has a flair
On the streets of Chiswick
Never rest sing with the best
On the streets of Chiwsick
I will see you around
We’ll be pleasure bound
Even if it’s pissing down
On the streets of Chiswick
Miss Sally Clive works at the pharmacy
She Bumps into Tom and giggles at his flirtatious style
Though Sally Clive’s not in her finery
They dance in the wig and shampoo aisle
On the streets of Chiswick
The sultry and sad
The brilliant and mad
On the streets of Chiswick
You don’t have a care
Like has a flair
On the streets of Chiswick
Never rest sing with the best
On the streets of Chiswick
I will see you around
We will be pleasure bound
The funny and profound
On the streets of Chiswick

SPACE BENDS TIME featuring Jordan Klasssen and Jocelyn Price
Lyrics:
Verse 1
In this shopping line
Time and space align
I drive this shopping cart
like a work of art
In this shopping cue
there’s nothing I can’t do
I reach the cashier
hit another tier
Now I’m out the door
and the sky’s the floor
I leap and step on a star
Chorus:
Proceed with Wonder
when space bends light
I’ll see you over yonder
when evil’s out of sight
Proceed with Wonder
when space can bend time
If it leads me back to you
in a melding of our minds
Verse 2
On this forest walk
I’m sure I hear trees talk
I’m on the eagles flight
yet the prey in its sight
I roll within the leaves
I’m humming with the bees
I drink from the stream
Dance in the sunbeams
It’s what keeps me sane
That the leaf's the rain
the earth and tree
that let it be
Chorus:
Proceed with Wonder
when space bends light
I’ll see you over yonder
when fear's out of sight
Proceed with Wonder
when space can bend time
If it leads me back to you
in a melding of our minds
Bridge
Verse 3
When we’re both alone
Working, cleaning home
I see you move through space
See your striking face
I sense you far away
it helps me through the day
Until time and space align
and you’ll again be mine
then we’ll walk outside
where the sky’s the floor
we’ll leap and step on a star….
Last Chorus:
Chorus:
Proceed with Wonder
when space bends light
I’ll see you over yonder
when love's in sight
Proceed with Wonder
when space can bend time
If it leads me back to you
in a melding of our minds
