Look down the road can you see me comin at you See my headlights hear my motor roar Can you see the sunlight flashing off my chrome Hear the clash of my gears hear me crashin thru your frontdoor I’m comin home to you there’s nothin bout that you can do I love the sound the door makes when it shouts surprise Need a beer to wash dust from my throat splinters from my hair When I left you thought you’d never see me again Now I’m back you don’t wanna know where I been I’m comin home to you there’s nothin bout that you can do Seems every road I travel leads to one place Every glass I look in to I see your face When I see the headlights comin at me I see your eyes flashing welcome back I’m comin home to you there’s nothin bout that you can do

When we rise May we have Peace When we lay down May we have Peace When we build a home May we have Peace When we roam like Gypsies May we have Peace When we gather kinfolk When we gather friends When we gather neighbours When we gather nations May we have Peace When we talk of trade May we have Peace When we speak of freedom May we have Peace When we we sing our songs May we have Peace When we paint our visions May we have Peace As we gather grain As we gather fishes As we gather sweet fruits As we gather precious things May we have Peace * When we have Peace . . . .. . We have freedom

The sun won’t shine the children won’t play people won’t do what people say a promise won’t mean what it used to mean and being free won’t be free... But that don’t mean that we should sit back watch it all unfold don’t be a party to war... We all breath the same air our children laugh all our children cry despite how we dress or the language we speak we’ll all bleed when the bullets fly... But that don’t mean that we should sit back watch it all unfold don’t be a party to war... one voice won’t make it go away we sing together when we’re afraid what people want a few people get we must be careful they’re not done yet... But that don’t mean that we should sit back watch it all unfold don’t be a party to war... We all breath the same air our children laugh all our children cry despite how we dress or the language we speak we’ll all bleed when the bullets fly... But that don’t mean that we should sit back watch it all unfold don’t be a party to war...

WELL I DREAMED THERE WAS NO ASPHALT AND I DREAMED THERE WERE NO CHORDS AND IN A DREAM MY HANDS WERE BOUND AND TIED BEHIND MY BACK WELL IN A DREAM I HAD NO EYES AND IN THAT DREAM I WAS NOT SANE AND IN A DREAM MY MIND WAS BLANK AND I COULD DREAM NO MORE... WHAT’S THE DEAL HOW DY’A FEEL WALKIN’ THE LINE BETWEEN FANTASY & REAL... WELL I DREAMED THERE WAS A THOUGHT BUT THE THOUGHT WAS JUST A DREAM AND IN THAT DREAM I THOUGHT ALOUD AND CAUSED MYSELF TO SCREAM WELL I SCREAMED THERE IS NO ASPHALT AND I SCREAMED THERE ARE NO CHORDS AND IN A DREAM MY SCREAM WAS BOUND AND TIED BEHIND MY BACK... WHAT’S THE DEAL HOW DY’A FEEL WALKIN’ THE LINE BETWEEN FANTASY & REAL... WELL I DREAMED I WAS ASLEEP AND I DREAMED THAT I AWOKE AND WHEN I OPENED UP MY EYES THAT DREAM HAD HUNG AROUND WELL I SCREAMED AT IT TO LEAVE OH HOW I SCREAMED AT IT TO GO AND IN MY DREAM OR SCREAM I SEEMED TO KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO... WHAT’S THE DEAL HOW DY’A FEEL WALKIN’ THE LINE BETWEEN FANTASY & REAL...

Great Walls 03:32
On a wing - an’ on a prayer Too many people - that just don’t care Hide within - great walls of words Do we face ourselves in fear- Inhuman nature - will shed no tear... Here she comes - Is she the one Here she comes - Are you ready Mother nature won’t take much more of this... On the screen - smilin’ like a clown Behind the scenes - a worried kind of frown A FRIEND ONCE POINTED OUT THAT NOT SO LONG AGO POLTICIANS WOULD STROLL AROUND WAVING OUT TO PEOPLE NOW THEY SCUTTLE FROM SHADOW TO SHADOW, STUDIO TO STUDIO AND ONLY APPEAR ON OUR T.V. SCREENS Here she comes - Is she the one Here she comes - Are you ready Mother nature won’t take much more of this... Hold fast - we’re on a sinking ship... Wake up - we’ve got to get a grip Inhuman nature - has brought us to the brink Everyone has got to stop and think- The toughest walls - are the one‘s we’ve built within... Here she comes - Is she the one Here she comes - Are you ready Mother nature won’t take much more of this... Hold fast - we’re on a sinking ship...

Moondogs Blues Mount Lyford Village, New Zealand

Moondog Blues
His stringed instruments are mostly metal…
and modestly abused. Add to this a nocturnal freight train voice, harmonica, thumping thumb, stomping left foot and right there you have some of the finest Mojo Juju Zombie Voodoo Black Cat Bluz A Billy
…possessed, heartfelt and real. And then there is 'the Band' with Ben&Matt Drum&Bass or just the jumping' 2Peice with drummer Ben or Scott
