The Music Makers

|
Now I'm part of the national wastage programme, I'll meet you down at exit 4.
I've done all I can for the singer and the sandman it's my turn to take the floor.
Mary's long gone and she's singing her song, David's in the studio.
We are the music makers.
We are the music makers.
For 25 years I've been talking till my brain hurts, standing up and holding court.
The boys and the girls and the mics and the kilohertz, bells in our ears dB.
Tom's gotten locked and his brother's in jail but he's stepping on the stage every night.
We are the music makers.

Little Darling
04:30
|

|
When I see your face, and I look in your eyes
When I see you smile, and I hold your hand, oh darling.
When you hold my hand, when I'm feeling down
You can guide me through, help me find my way, oh
Hold on little darling,
I'm holding on
Stay strong little darling,
In your heart.
When I hear you cry,
Let me dry your eyes
When you feel sad,
Let me make it alright, oh darling
When I'm old and grey,
I'll think of your embrace
How you gave me strength,
How you showed the way, oh
Hold on little darling,
I'm holding on
Stay strong little darling,
In your heart.
Sometimes I get scared,
I try to be the man
Don't want to let you down,
If I could right my wrong, oh darling
Your wrong may cause me hurt,
But like the falling rain
I wait for clouds to part,
To feel your warm heart, oh
Hold on little darling,
I'm holding on
Stay strong little darling,
In your heart.

Sandansko
03:29
|

|
(I will follow)
Haunting and harbouring, the thoughts of our union,
Waiting on a low tide but it's slow, so slow, the ebb and the flow.
Standing and gazing, hoping, regretting, remembering.

Black Dog
05:16
|
|||
|
There's a star shining straight in my face,
From the ones that I love, backed up,
From behind with the heat of the sun,
And I've tears on my face.
And my dog, looking straight at me, faithfully,
Wondering what's going on,
Ripping off my own song.
And I'm wondering where she's gone, for how long.
Is it me, and my black dog,
pulling at my conscience, made worse,
By time on my own and without you,
And the tears on my face.
And my dog, looking straight at me, faithfully,
Wondering what's going on,
Ripping off my own song.
And I'm wondering where she's gone, for how long.

Godless
05:31
|

|
I met a friend, he said he's homeless,
I gave him ten, he said God bless,
I said don't give up now, he said he's jobless,
I held his hand, he said it's hopeless,
I held his hand, he said he said he's hopeless
Yeah, it's gone like Godless.
Who am I to forget the shame?
Who am I to judge him his pain.
Who am I to forget the shame?
Who am I to judge him his pain.
Driving home to my baby,
I know when I touch your skin,
When I hold you close,
Your colour fills my ears, easily.
Who am I to forget the shame?
Who am I to judge him his pain.
Who am I to forget the shame?
Who am I to judge him his pain.
I met a friend, he said he's homeless,
I gave him ten, he said God bless,
I said don't give up now, he said he's jobless,
I held his hand, he said it's hopeless,
I held his hand, he said he said he's hopeless
Yeah, it's gone like Godless.
Who am I to forget the shame?
Who am I to judge him his pain.
Who am I to forget the shame?
Who am I to judge him his pain.

Seven Chairs
04:05

|
Seven chairs 'round my table, one spoon and a wine glass
Quiet hits me as I look across, I'm a king with my wooden crown
My my, mind's eye, I embrace and kiss you
My my, mind's eye, I enjoy and miss you.
Looking out to the bright side, I won't admit that I'm feeling down
I see you all in my mind's eye, shouting out in the sunshine.
My my, mind's eye, I embrace and kiss you
My my, mind's eye, I enjoy and miss you.
Seven chairs 'round my table, one spoon and a wine glass

Battered
04:20
|
|||
|
Faces battered, lacerated by life, sadness carving trenches
Your head's hanging, your eyes are on the ground, your mind is wandering,
The view from your barstool is so familiar,
blowing smoke from your mouth, like you're minted.
