Inconvenient Truth 03:32
lyrics

We've gotta make a change For the sake of all mankind For the rest of us, the best of us We've got to make a change I'll paint you a picture, of where I want to be Forgettably impatient as it pains me to foresee This picture of tranquility all locked up inside With creative itchings always yearning to subside If earth can't provide it, then Heaven's its disguise Pulling me nearer to my place my prize It's all about you, but it's all about me too You label me selfish but then look at yourself Every action, every moment, every one thing you do At the core of every motive is to look after you We've gotta make a change For the sake of all mankind For the rest of us, the best of us We've got to make a change

That Girl 03:14
lyrics

Cos you're that girl, that au naturale girl Caring not to fit in, living in 21st Century sin And I know that you don't like to fit And I hope you don't get too much stick Staring into space and you're ready for the stares Cos you're one of only a few with all their bodily hairs You've got shells on your bag, you've got shells round your neck Are you a hippy or a hag, they're titles hard to forget You've got a camel skin water bottle, you're a girl of old Cave or a hovel, ignorant to warm or cold Respect goes from me to you, but also my prayers Cos you're one of only a few with all their bodily hairs

My Imagination 04:10
lyrics
buy track
I've gotta write quick cos I can't disturb The lady upstairs who wants me to work This piano room, is my last place of refuge I've gotta write quick cos she's on the phone I hear her in the lounge she won't be too long She says I must revise, but I wanna finish my song My imagination is my best friend Who wants to work, when you can play pretend My imagination is my best friend Who wants to work when you can play pretend My time is up for she just said goodbye Wracking my brain for an alibi Surely she'd believe her innocent grandson Been marched back up the stairs, and I've had the first degree How writing my songs won't get me three Bs I've had enough of this routine obsession Marched back up the stairs, I've had the first degree How writing my songs won't get me three Bs But I've had enough of this routine obsession I'm sat up at a desk with my head in my hands Dreaming of the sea and white sands Is it really sad, that my imagination's my best friend? My imagination is my best friend Who wants to work, when you can play pretend It gives me hope it makes me smile Beats reality fair and square You'll lose friends in this life But your imagination's always there
