It’s winter again,
Seems nothing has changed.
Still stuck in these four walls I can count the days.
The faint light’s always shinning,
But it’s getting hard to see. It’s winter again,
I wish it’d shine on me.

I need an inspiration A different occupation
I need a reason for a change in my ways.
I crave a new tomorrow A picture of Picasso
I have to take a little energy.

It’d New Year again,
Better make my list.
I swear this’ll be my year,
You see I must insist.
The goal post’s always marching In a constant state of flux.
But I’m still stuck in these four walls You see I,
I don’t move too much.

I need an inspiration…

Look at the thunder forming, Steady as she goes.
Look at the bruises all around my bloody nose.Look at the crowds, they’re shaking.
Is it worth a try?
Look at the grin I’m wearing Ask yourself, why?

So I should slow down Steady as she goes.
So I should hold down Ready on my toes.
Oh I could walk here Up upon my feet.
So if I love here Love the one I need.
I, I’m not sorry!

I see the thunder leaving,
Blown away by tears.
I see the bruises letting go of all my fears.
I see the crowds, they wonder, Is it worth the pain?
You see the grin I’m wearing, Ask yourself again.

So I should…

All this time, seven years have gone by.
Left me out there on my own to survive.

All this time I’ve been waiting on a dime
So I’m told to believe, all this time.
Lift me up. I’m feeling alone.
I am delivered, now I’m ready to go home.

All this time I’ve been waiting on a dime
So I’m called to believe to survive.
All I hear is your voice in my ear
So I’m told, this is life. All this time

I heard you’re back in the cityI see you’re doing just fine.Some people say that you’ve changed nowI heard it through the grapevine.
You’re telling tales of the old timesYou’re making friends I never knew.I wonder do they take your lies,When righteous don’t look good on you?
Take it or leave itI don’t want to hear it tonight.You’re future ain’t so bright.Take it or leave itI just don’t believe in you lies.You’re never gonna see me again.
I’ve only known this as hopelessI’ve seen you’ve done this before.God give me peace from this restlessSo you can’t do this anymore.
Take it or leave it

Cool down Papa, don’t you carry that bag
You’ve been working all day long.
I don’t like Monday’s, they’re becoming a drag
Don’t keep me waiting up all night long.

Why don’t you use me, Before they use me up?

A lot’s gone missing since the breaking of day,
I’ve been driving for four days now.
I keep on asking what the doctor would say,
I keep on choking, cos’ I’m too proud.

Why don’t you use me…

So if you see me in a couple of years
Why don’t you ask me if I’m alright?
All I’m hoping is a couple of beers.
Why don’t you join me, or stand aside?

Why don’t you use me…

In time, keep on the roundsNot easy but I've seen it either breath or I'll drownAnd they don't think I hear what they've been saying aroundIt's amazing how your day can go from lazin' aroundSoon we're gonna hit the big time
All this time I've been dyin' to findSome thing to run with and brighten my mindIt only takes a second, if you can get itBut I've been spending hours tryin' to findBut soon we're gonna hit the big time
