ME
Don’t put me in a box made in Japan
I won’t be like you coz I am who I am
We’re all freaks, we were born unique
You’re a God made original living to shine
And your fingerprints aren’t the same as mine
We’re all freaks, we were born unique
So, don’t try and fit the choir
When you could be flying so much higher
Going to play my own drum to my own melody
I am going to be me
I am going to hum my own tune to my own destiny
I am going to be free, I am going to be me
And they try to tell you what to wear on the street
The right shade of tan from your hat to your feet
We’re all freaks, we were born unique
And we’re all of the colors born under the sun
And one of these days we’ll all see that we’re one
We’re all freaks, we were born unique
We’re made with a purpose in a grand symphony
Made with a purpose, born to be free
We’re a piece of the puzzle in a greater design
So, I won’t be wasting my time
Ek gaan my eie drom speel op my eie melodie
Want ek is ek
Ek gaan my eie deuntjie fluit soos ek my lewens pad stap
Want ek is ek
Ja ek is ek

Happy Ever Afters

NO HAPPY EVER AFTERS
She packed her bags and she is out the door
She won’t be coming back anymore
She’s gone
This time she’s really gone
You told your friends that it was all her fault
You’re never wrong, she didn’t love you anyway
That’s why she went away
There’s no happy ever after’s here
There’s no happy ever after’s here
Romeo and Juliet, they never died
They just went to bed and woke up
Where they didn’t want to be
Oh you can’t believe that she is
Dancing with somebody new
But that doesn’t mean that she was never broken to
Coz she was broken to

Took a Chance

TOOK A CHANCE
Met you down in South Otago
You’re a handsome southern man
Wasn’t ready for loving you but you took a chance
Took you two years to convince me for my heart was Broken bad
But you never stopped believing in me and you took a chance
You took a chance
You took a chance on me my baby
Guess our love was meant to be
And when your grey and old still your hand I’ll hold
Coz you took a chance on me
We got married in the autumn
That first year was hard enough
I bet you often felt like leaving me but you took a chance
You took a chance
Five years later there’s three children
And the Lord has filled our cup
And all I want to do is thank you babe coz you took a chance,
You took a chance
Yes still your hand I’ll hold when you are grey and old coz you took a chance on me.

It was Time

IT WAS TIME
You cant go on like this
Its not Gods will
How I hated to hear those words my father spoke
But you had me tangled up, wrapped round your finger tips
I was so far lost in those eyes
You broke me down
Till there was nothing left
Tossed me aside like an empty bottle of wine
Then you begged me to stay when I finally got up to leave
But darling it was time
Seven years is a long long time to be blinded to the truth
All those nights you cheated Oh how I missed you.
All those lies you told me, how did I believe?
I was so deceived, tell me why I didnt leave
I got on that jet plane, after sad goodbyes
We both shed a tear, but I dried my eyes
Said I’d be back real soon
It would be alright
Guess it was my turn to lie...

Pass Me A Coffee

PASS ME A COFFEE
One two three little apples from the tree,
but they did not go too far,
no they did not go too far
I can see little bits of you and me
in everything they are,
Oh in everything they are
We’re spending every dime dime dime
Changing dippers in our prime prime prime
And I feel tired all the time time time
Pass me a coffee and I’ll be just fine
Four five six oh we raise them using tricks,
Using age old trick oh we using age old tricks
Hoping when you see them down the street,
they’ll be the sort of people
you would like to greet
Seven eight watching time evaporate,
as they grow up way to fast,
Oh they grow up way to fast
Time won’t wait, no you can’t negotiate
Wish I could make it last,
Oh I wish I could make it last
And they’re strange and so unique
He’s got your charm, she’s got my cheek
They’re strange and so unique
Everything that makes our life so
sweet sweet sweet
And I think, I’ve lost my mind, pass me a coffee
and I’ll be just fine, or maybe make that a bottle of wine

Down Like Wine

DOWN LIKE WINE
Little white lies they follow you like a shadow
And every time that you speak
they fly like and arrow
I wish that I could say I never fell victim
But you picked up the crossbow
and aimed straight for my heart
Your lies go down like wine
I get drunk on every line
Your lies go down like wine
The day you first kissed me
I thought this could be forever
And you were a good man
at least right at the start
But as the time went on your lies became clearer
And now I’m left sitting here
wishing I never gave you my heart
I have to acknowledge the truth that you had spoken
The day when you mentioned that you were no good for me
I wish that I had believed those words when you said them
Just imagine how happy I would be

Little White Pill

LITTLE WHITE PILL
Tried to buy a one-way ticket to THERE, turns out it don’t exist
Even though they said that’s where they’d be, if I felt a little anxious
I went to see the Shrink instead, but she stared at the clock
At least she gave me a script for this little white pill to pop
Little white pill, little white pill
I was feeling sad, that was until
I swallowed you half
I swallowed you whole
Right about then I gained control
Happily married with two kids and then the third one rocked the boat
I feel ashamed but I have to admit that I’m barely staying afloat
I really do love this child, but I am crying all the time
Sometimes you can write the words, but you cannot make them rhyme
Sometimes things in life go wrong, sometimes they go right
Sometimes you need a little help to make it through the night
When the storms of life may hit you don’t you ever dare give up
Pick your Own Self of the floor and fill your coffee cup.

All Roads

ALL ROADS
Back to the place where I am from
Back to the arms that raised me strong
Taught me right from wrong
Familiar faces call my name
The walls seem smaller but they are the same
Precious memories remain
Some are wiser some are bolder
Some are new and we are all older
Some are gone but how we wish
they were still here
And though life may separate us
We know that it won’t break us
Coz all roads lead to home
Listening to stories being told
The different views of young and old
Yet the love never grows cold
Driving down roads we used to take
Talking about all the plans we’d make
Yeah life is good but home is great

Move At Will

MOVE AT WILL
Jumping fences
Skipping towns
Living places
Where no family can be found
Stumbling on adopted dreams
How she longs to be free
She aint running
Life is pushing
She aint walking
Time just won’t stand still
Guess she’s trying
To be somebody
Trying to move at will
Finding her feet
On her own
In another town
Further from home
Freedom always has its price
Somedays it’ll charge you twice
Can you see her down the road?
Jumping fences till she grows cold
Or maybe laying down some roots
Only time will tell

Your Song

YOUR SONG
I imagine you, driving down the highway
A beautiful wife sitting by your side
Two baby girls sitting in the backseat
And you turn on that radio
This is your song, you turn it up a little louder
King of the road, trailer for sale or rent
This is your song, and you wind down the window
Shouting King of the road that’s who I am
Mama told me you were her hero
And you were taken way to soon
Grandma told me she’d never love another
She never did and that’s the truth
O I imagine
I imagine you that way
So in my heart, King of the road you'll stay
Now I believe in a place called heaven
We get to go there when we die
When we believe in the Son of the Father
I’ll see you in the bye and bye
