Space Cowboy

Space Cowboy Everything is good and brown
Oh I'm here again
With a sunshine smile upon my face
My friends are close at hand
And all my inhibitions
Have disappeared without a trace
I'm glad, oh I found
Somebody who I can rely on

This is the return of the space cowboy
Inter-planetary good vibe zone
Say at the speed of Cheeba, oh you and I go deeper
Maybe I'll have to get high to get by, hey
I got that Cheeba-Cheeba vibe

Everything is good oh and green
Say I'm red again
And I don't suppose I'm comin' down
I can see clearly, so high in sky
A man with psychedelic picture frames
Of happiness to shade his eyes
He's glad, oh that he found, ooh
Somebody who he can rely on

This is the return of the space cowboy
Inter-planetary good vibe zone
Say at the speed of Cheeba, oh you and I go deeper
Hey now, maybe I'll have to get high just to get by, hey
Maybe I'm gonna have to get high
Hey maybe I'm gonna have to get so high, hey
So high yeah, so high yeah, you and I
Hey

Now this is the return of the space cowboy
Oh inter-planetary good vibe zone

Gettin' high, oh gettin' high
Oh this is the return of the space cowboy
Inter-planetary good vibe zone

This is the return of the space cowboy
Inter-planetary good vibe zone
Say at the speed of Cheeba, oh you and I go deeper
Hey now we'll go deeper, oh now we'll go deeper
You and I, you and I, you and I, you and I
You and I, you and I, you and I, you and I
Now we'll go deeper yeah

Stillness in Time

Stillness In Time There's a stillness in time
which I cannot define
Does your heart bleed like mine?
For a place we can go
where the troubles of our time are far away
and I had all my life in front of me
now my darkest days are trouble free
there's no place where I would rather be
than this journey of discovery

I found love in that way
and I'm never sad,
and I'm always glad
Anything you give me today
I will be thankful for
People find it hard to be strong
'cause they don't know
where they're coming from
There was nothing left to do
but hang on for a stillness in time

If you find something's goin' wrong
look around at what you're running from
there are many wondrous things for you to see
if this world is turning too fast for your head
just remember how bad times can roll instead
you can wait a thousand years in line
for a stillness in time

Half the Man

Light Years

Manifest Destiny

Manifest Destiny Four hundred years or more
Since you came to crucify
They were taken far from home
There were promises of paradise
But if they had been told that day
That they would be sold this way
To satisfy the souls of chosen men
See I had to look carefully
At the shame of my ancestry
To re-define the story line again

If I was taken for a day
And shown another way
Every child can learn a different thing
See I tried a million times
But I had to change my mind
Sadness was the best thing I could bring
On the inside he was dead and this is what he said
As he took away the bloom above the clouds
Superiority was clearly meant to be
So destiny will manifest in time

So where has the love all gone
A troubled trail of tears will tell the tale
Of how I was put down where I don't belong
Woman, Child, and man for sale
For ethical slavery is just an absurdity
How can you be alive when you are dead
With these chains of hypocrisy
The shame of my ancestry
Forever stained with blood in which you tread
(repeat chorus)

The Kids

Mr. Moon

Mr Moon Have you gone astray or lost your way?
you should have seen me yesterday
Well I knew this kind of love was written in the stars
It's only once or twice that you're in line with Mr. Moon
Then it was you, you took me on your cloud,
gave me flowers for my pain but with some degree of certainty
My destiny seemed to slip away from me before I got to know your name

Just give me a chance I'll do what you want me to
Everybody wants to dance so how come I can't dance with you?
You really turn me on, you're the one that makes me smile
It's Mr. Moon who plays the tune, Mr. Moon who knows
and if it's Mr. Moon who gives the sign that's the sign that goes
I never know what to do, till I'm there with you

Did you lose your mind for a day you don't remember anyway
like the waters of a dream encapsulate my mind
A place I haven't seen sits at the end of space and time
so lost in time that I think I'm blind to perchance upon this circumstance
is something of a miracle it's verging
on the phisical searching
for a love I cannot find

Scam

Scam Hey Hey Yeah I've got to scam
Got to scam
Ooh, got to scam

You say you fight to give us freedom
But often more than not this is abused
And the faces of a tired generation
Have decided they are sick of being used

For the purpose of current declarations
Still the same, it'll never change until the end
Is to buy appreciation of the nation
To cover the mistakes you must defend

And you say they'll be a chance for everyone
To protest against your calculated greed
But I can see into the future
Won't be long before the welfare
Send me letters telling me how much they need

And it's not been in my interests to please them
For the only interest rate to fall is mine
See a brand new generation is demanding
What you've been doing with our money all this time

'Cos Now I've got to Scam!
People try living life at speed of light.
Scam!
I don't know why but I have to do the things I do.
Scam!
Give me ten that's the move I'll give you five
Scam!
People say that it's the way to stay alive

Scam now...
Scam!
Hey, I know we gotta scam, I know we gotta scam, ooh

So you see you have to be a schemer
If you wanna love the life you have to live
And don't matter how much I earn
'Cos I always get my fingers burnt
When the man gets down to his business

And I've been ser-ser-searching for a reason
Why I have to give it all up just when I'm gonna get ahead
See I had lose car, job, wife, dog and home
Debts and threats on the telephone
Maybe I should bust a move instead

Hey, now we all know when we watch the television
Not confused between a puppet or conviction
Glued to the screen by a thousand shallow words of wisdom
It ain't what it seems when it's a single sided system

Hey, someone's got a hold on my living
Gonna have to do the thing that's fair
They got to justify for what I should be giving
Should I lie, should I steal or should I care?
Hey
Because I got to scam
Scamming our life away

Hey!
Scam!
People try living life at speed of light.
Scam!
I don't know why but I have to do the things I do.
scam!
Hey.. everybody got to scam now
Scam!
Oooh, bust that move as quick as you can, scam!

Right on
Ahh scamming!

Hey hey hey, hey! hey!
I got, I got to scam
Got to scam to get me through every day
Got to scam
Got to scam
I got to scam

Woah
Scamming for every day
Scamming for all my life
Scamming... to pay my way

Hey
I got to scam!
No nine to five!
I gotta stay alive!
Gotta keep it all
Hey, I got to scam

Scamming... scamming... scamming... scamming

Hey...

Morning Glory

Just Another Story

Just Another Story Now, it occured to me
As I awoke from deeper dreams.
All this evolution..
And still I don't know what it means.
Hey
And it gets hard for me to change,
When there's an easy way to earn.
Why should I work my fingers to the bone? (To the bone)
Is this what I truly deserve?

This is not another trilogy
It's just another story x6
Just another story baby

Nobody make a move
This kid's got you covered,
He was just seventeen
Trying to get on like his dead brother.
Momma couldn't do a thing about him
Though she hurt inside
And Daddy wants his son back
While him knows he's still alive.
Stick-up kid, thinking you're a glory boy,
Oh, fronting that stupid toy
But you don't get that it's yourself you will destroy
Like a speed freak king of amphetamine
Still running those rocks on the front line
Get up tight when its your turn
A bullet in the head is the lesson learned
One of these days you're gonna say goodbye
Telling everyone you've never been so high
Born the same time that you die
You're pushing that draw like you're Superfly
Heaven help all with no way out
That's what this is all about
This is not another trilogy
It's just another story baby

Hit it with me now
Come on now hit it with me now
Stick-up kid
A ha ha ha ha,
I got you where I want ya!
Nobody make a fucking move!
All these gangster kids are getting uptight
All these gangster kids are getting uptight
I got ya! I got ya where I want ya now
Nobody make a fucking move

Nobody make a move
This kid's got you covered,
He was just seventeen
Trying to get on like his dead brother.
Momma couldn't do a thing about him
Though she hurt inside
And Daddy wants his son back
While him knows he's still alive.
Stick-up kid, thinking you're a glory boy,
Oh, fronting that stupid toy
But you don't get that it's yourself you will destroy
Like a speed freak king of amphetamine
Still running those rocks on the front line
Get up tight when its your turn
A bullet in the head is the lesson learned
One of these days you're gonna say goodbye
Telling everyone you've never been so high
Born the same time that you die
You're pushing that draw like you're Superfly

This is just another story
All your broken glories.
Say this is just another story, yeah
Push it to the outer ridge
Everyday, everyday, happens everyday
Stick-up kid
Come on now, aw, come on now
Push it to the outer ridge
A ha ha ha ha!
Stick-up kid
This is not another trilogy, it's just another story
