1.Spicks And Specks
Where is the sun
That shone on my head
The sun in my life
It is dead
it is dead
Where is the light
That would play
In my streets
And where are the friends
I could meet
I could meet
Where are the girls
I left all behind
The spicks and the specks
Of the girls on my mind
Where is the sun
That shone on my head
The sun in my life
It is dead
it is dead
Where are the girls
I left all behind
The spicks and the specks
Of the girls on my mind
Where is the girl I loved
all along
The girl that I loved
she's gone
she's gone
All of my life
I call yesterday
The spicks and the specks
of my life 've gone away
All of my life
I call yesterday
The spicks and the specks
of my life 've gone away
Spicks and Specks!
2.IN THE MORNING(Morning Of My Life)
In the morning when the moon is at its rest,
you will see me at the time I love the best,
watching rainbows, play on sunlight,
pools of water iced from cold night,in the morning.
'Tis the morning of my life.
In the daytime I will meet you as before.
You will find me waiting by the ocean floor,
building castles in the shifting sands
in a world that no one understands,
in the morning.
'Tis the morning of my life.
In the morning of my life
the minutes take so long to drift away.
Please be patient with your life,
it's only morning and you're still to live your day.
In the evening I will fly you to the moon,
to the top right hand corner of the ceiling in my room,
where we'll stay until the sun shines,
another day to swing on clothe's lines,
may I be yawning.
It is the morning of my life.
It is the morning of my life.
In the morning,...

See the cracks upon the wall
We do not know the meaning of it all
Ain't no fire to warm my feet
Ain't got a nickel for a bit to ear
We're not workin', we're not slavin'
Ain't worth a brain, 'cause we're not worth savin'
Second hand people, tall as a steeple
Softer then treacle, in a pond are we
Second hand people
Ain't no mirror to comb my face
Just keep on going from place to place
Ain't got no lights above my head
Don't even bother to leave my bed
We're not livin' ,we're existin'
We're not movin' ,just resistin'
Second hand people, tall as a steeple
Softer then treacle , in a pond are we
Second hand people , tall as a steeple
Softer then treacle ....

When I was just a little boy , when I didn't know

He said ' a woman will do her best to make a fool out of you
So be a man and stand the test and see what you can do ' .
I'm glad I am born a man

You can always choose
Work it out before it's too late my boy
Make sure you never lose

16.I Was A Lover, A Leader Of Men
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
I was a lover, a leader of men,
all of the women I knew were my friends.

'cause you don't feel the same,
it's only a game, it's only a game, it's only a game.
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
I had a billion or two in the bank,
I gave to charity, ain't got no thanks.
