99 to 111
Take a headlong trip
Down the motorway
Lights go flashing by
Silver blue and grey
Shake the frost off trees
Feel a sudden chill
Dryness in your mouth
Take another pill
Staring straight ahead
Push the pedal down
Speeding like a jet
Never touch the ground
Ninety-nine to one eleven
Down the slide and straight to heaven
Feel the wheel shake
Tighten up your grip
In the stratosphere
It’s a real death trip
Ninety-nine to one eleven
Down the slide straight to heaven
Ninety-nine to one eleven
Down the slide…

Hit the Brakes
Down the dark road
Won’t you tell me where you go?
All the secrets you know
Your hiding place
Speeding so fast
You got no future – got no past
I don’t think we’re going to last
More than one day
Please hit the breaks
There’s no margin for mistakes
Before we wake
One last kiss
Through the dark trees
I am ready at ease
Bow to your pleasure please
You hold the keys
Where to begin
Always lose never win
I got you under my skin
Under my skin
Tied to the mast
Now this ship is sinking fast
Are we the drowned?
Going down…

Wherever You Go
Some days you will find it’s all been so pointless
You stagger along uncertain unreal
Time moves along – go forward and backward
You cannot escape the way that you feel
Sometimes you don’t really know
You carry it with you wherever you go
Out on the streets the boarded up windows
Loiter along with nothing to say
Faces stand out distorted with anger
So you return end of the day
Sometimes you’ve got to let go
You carry it with you wherever you go
Wherever you go
Wherever you go

Is This Where It’s At
I lost my former attraction
For this insanity life
The absurd mixed with the vulgar
The debate ragging all night
It’s just a matter of preference
Yeah it’s a matter of taste
I’ll never come ‘round to your view
And now the hour is late
Is this where it’s at?
I don’t want to know
I’m fading so fast
Got places to go
So let us bring on the daybreak
And let these hours be gone
I’ve grown so tired and restless
And all the good times are gone
Is this where it’s at?
A knock on the door
An address I’ve lost
In memory no more
I’m out on Mason and Geary
I’m lost on Telegraph Hill
I left in a huff and hurry
My card was still on the till
Is this where it’s at?
I don’t want to know
I’m feeling my age
It’s starting to show
It’s starting to show

Like the Weather
Sometimes I think back to you
And all the times we spent together
I know from my point of view
You’re ever-changing like the weather
It’s such a very fine line
I know I really should be going
We had a stellar good time
But then the clouds would come a-rolling
You’re just a memory that fades
You’re just a moment in the morning
A sting that won’t go away
A flash that comes without a warning

All My Days
There’s a time – for everything
And a place – where we can dream
I was wrong – what can I say?
Can we just – move on today?
You’re not the only one who doubts
You’re not the only one who feels
I’ll give you all my days
There are things we cannot see
Everyone longs for beauty
Sometimes I feel we’ll fall apart
I’m sure of you right from the start
I’ll give you all my days
All my days…

I’d Known You
I’d known you
Right from the start
I was yours and you were mine
We got lost then over time
When we linked our hearts
I’d known you
Right from the start
We were done before we knew
All that we’d been going through
When we linked our hearts
When we linked our hearts
Reach out and we can make it
It’s not that far
But I’m just so tired can’t fake it
And you’re who you are

I Remember
I remember the night we met
The stars were shining silver lining I had no regrets
And I remember the clothes you wore
The crushed red velvet lace-up jacket from the second-hand store
We talked for hours – I loved your ways
Fascinated – O how I loved all the words that you had to say
And I remember – I had no clue?
Where’d you come from? I was struck dumb at the sight of you
Come September from the start
Thrown together stormy weather came and tore us apart
I pressed your lips close and held you tight
How I loved those drunken kisses at the end of Saturday night
Drown my sorrows – go down in flames
Walked for miles – I found myself all alone in the autumn rain

In the Morning
Winter light I see satellites
In the morning
Spider cracks through the broken glass
On my window
Through the grey comes the early day
In the morning
Feel the weight of the winter
In my bones
Seasons shine and glow - each to their own glory
But I’ve been stuck for years – it’s the same old story
Same old story
Winter light I see satellites
In the morning
Spider cracks through the broken glass
On my window
Seasons shine and glow - each to their own glory
But I’ve been stuck for years – it’s the same old story
Same old story…
