Only free in dreams

The bags blow down by the river
And the ducks paddle through the stream
Mud cakes up on trees, and I am only free
Oh we are only free in our dreams

The cheering crowds shout for the footballer
To score his hat trick in the half hour
Oh but if he were true he'd be a golfer
Pushing caddy trollies over flowers
Yes we are, we are, we are only free in our dreams

Everytime I sung to you I knew
The great moose in the sky was looking down
Every beaver in Canada had on his brow
A certain frown
Now they're blocking up the streams
With their logs and trees
And we are only free
In our dreams

I shot a bullet hole through the wall
And the air whistled in cold and clear
I always knew someday I'd fall
But I never knew that day'd be so near
Yes we are, we are, we are only free in our dreams

Come lay beside me honey take your rest
Your feet are so weary and so cold
You've been walking far beyond, beyond your best
And now you need a love that's bold
The animals are howling in the wild
It quiet in the wood, it is so old
And I am going there to follow the stream
Where I am only free in my dream

Carparks in Angel land

They're putting up carparks in Angel Land
Where angels once walked
Now men are greasing their hands
With the dirty money
And the golden bands
That they pass around now in Angel Land

They are rolling their dozers down the main roads
They are swinging their cranes and carrying their loads
Where angels once walked softly, they now look on in dread
For Angel Land is a place they now fear to tread

They're raising their structures, erecting their towers
Blocks of offices for foreign powers
They are building and bumping and turning their heads
In Angel Land where angels now fear to tread

Gone is the gentleness of thought or action
They are using their heads in cold calculation
Compacting the soil, with blood, sweat and tears
Ignoring their consciences or the angels' fears

They're putting up carparks in Angel land
And paving the paradise God's made with his hands
They're doing it today, it'll be gone by tomorrow
When the only angels in the land will be walking in sorrow

An Englishman leaves Hungary

Me arriving at Erste Bank Nepfürdő reception: Jo Napot Kivanak, Hogy Vagy?
Female Security Guards: Jol Kössönöm, és te hogy vagy?
Me: Jól, (looking around the foyer): "Alot of people! Sok Emberek!"
Security guards look unsure
Me: "There are a lot of people here"
"Sok emberek", I repeat
There are a lot of people here
Female security guard: "Then go home"
"Englishman leave Hungary"
Me: (laugh as that seems the only way to deal with this comment) Yes, I will, soon I hope.

An Englishman leaves Hungary
Where does he leave it
Is it any better off
Than if he hadn't seen it?
Is he any better off for having been here
Well we will see, but it must be
That an Englishman leaves Hungary

An Englishman leaves Hungary
All alone in Europe
He leaves it with its fences
Its, ropes and guarded borders
He leaves it with its hope
Of Splendid isolation
He leaves it in the airport
Or from the bus station

An Englishman's home is his castle
He has rode far and long
Trying to slay a dragon? Or trying to write a song?
They don't need no dragon slayer,
They've got their own carry on
Leave it to the barbarians
To invite the dragons along
They've invited the bear,
They've invited the wolf
They really wouldn't care
If together they fell into the gulf
An Englishman has no place here
In a country so racist and wild
No place left for the native
No refuge for the lost child

An Englishman leaves Hungary
Going out with a bang?
No going out as he came in
Like a condemned man refusing to hang

Handle me with care

And the heart shaped package

That you left for me amongst the wreckage

With a note that read

Handle me with care

And the freight train brought its cargo

The box with the red glow

Or carried above on the wings of a dove

And don't treat me with kid gloves

Give me some of that old time love

But handle me, handle me with care

And the package was left in lost and found

The heart shaped box left on the ground

With a note that read 

Handle me with care

Fourth time around

I turned right, they turned left
All through the night
I felt bereft
But I hit gold, fourth time around

I cannot hold the things you stole
Inside my heart there is a hole
But I hit gold fourth time around

There are no keys but those we've lost
There are no bridges but those we've crossed
But I hit gold, fourth time around

I shouldered blame, I soldiered on
A man with no name to give his song
But I hit gold, fourth time around

I am not weak, no I am strong
As you hear me speak
The words of my song
Just the beak and tongue in sound
And you will hear, in your ear
The noble tones of one so dear
I struck gold, fourth time around

And the river covers the railway track
As the giver takes what he gave back
Only words, that can never be unsaid
But as the train rumbles over the river bed
I know at the end will it will reach high ground
As I struck gold, fourth time around

So when you play that final song
All my days will be so long
But no longer than those numbers in the book
And if you seek than you shall find that for which you look
What once was lost it shall be found
As I hit gold, fourth time around

In the shadows in the dust
I ask the shallows for their lust
But I wade out into waters deep
And if you swim against the tide
Then you'll know of what I speak
There are consequences in heaven
four times four is not four times seven
But you will find on fourth of July
My independence shall be no lie
I struck gold, fourth time around

Tough love

Tough love

Is gonna pull you through

Tough love will tell you what to do

Well if tough love do for me

Tough love will do for you

Tough love when you’re hanging on the ledge

Tough love when you’re making your pledge

Tough love must be enough

Tough love is rough

Hard truths will pull you through

Hard truths like slate rooves
Hard truths will keep the rain off you
Hold your judgement
Like books on shelves
Hard truths will pull you through

Wings of a hawk

If I had the wings of a hawk

I would not run I would not walk

You would stare and stand 

As I flew down into your hand

If I had the wings of a hawk

If I had the wings of a hawk

I would not argue I would not talk

You'd be there and understand

As I flapped my wings flew to your hand

If I had the wings of a hawk

If I had the wings of a hawk

I'd fly up high and feel tall

I'd spread my wings circle above it all

Until all those big things start to feel small

If I had the wings of a hawk

If I had the wings of a hawk

I would not cry I would not balk

At all the things that cannot be

When I see you and you see me

If I had the wings of a hawk
