[VERSE A] "What is it now?" Cried David to the butler. "It's the People sir, they're here to protest!" "I a'int got the time got money on my mind, Would you tell them to come back tomorrow" "There must be another way!" cried a voice from the crowd "The prime minister has no time today, wont you come back in a day or two" "Oh what is this world coming too?" [VERSE B] so another divide between friends and foe alike grows larger, every day, and the lives are all thrown away the system falls apart [CHORUS] And so the rain falls for those in the storm the innocent lives all lost for what cause? But in the end questions arrise who is the bad one who makes them all cry. [VERSE A] "They're back again tonight, seems they are here to fight!" "Let them all come we'll arrest everyone, i a'int got the time got money on my mind, would you tell them to come back tomorrow!" "There must be another way!" cried a voice from the crowd "You must all leave now or face the law" the forces marched them down "oh what are we supposed to do now?" [VERSE B] Whilst fear grows everyday amongst friends and foe alike with one side a traitor and the other are the bad guys... The system fall apart [CHORUS] And still the rain Falls for those in the storm the innocent lives all lost for what cause? But in the end questions arise, who spreads the terror and who spreads the lies? [FINALE] So don't you cry just close your eyes the pain will subside when you sleep tonight all save in side your western lives no you cant change the times the inevitable tides just sleep now, sleep now in this dog eat dog world it's kill or be killed that's the way it all works nothing has changed and so nothing will so just close your eyes the pain will subside!!!

[VERSE] Maybe I'm not ready for love or maybe I'm a fool I've never been down this road before and I've got to keep my cool. [CHORUS] Sometimes i feel like a hollow shell! What's even harder is you love me well! Maybe I'm Not Ready For Love [VERSE] Maybe I'm not ready for love or maybe I'm insane it's you that I've been thinking of, my teammate in the game [CHORUS] I cannot lie to you that's the wrong thing to do! how would you feel within my shoes? Maybe I'm Not Ready For Love [SOLO] [BREAK] My eyes can see you care for me Do i have to be the one you love today? [VERSE] Maybe I'm not ready for love or maybe I'm a fool I've never been down this road before and I've got to keep my cool. [CHORUS] Sometimes i feel like a hollow shell! What's even harder is you love me well! Maybe I'm Not Ready For Love Maybe I'm Not Ready For Love

And maybe i can love again? And maybe i can leave the den? And maybe the rain still falls but i don't care? The Observations i have made of the outside world beyond my cave it all seems so comical and yet deranged But to keep me going day by day I've got a guide book on how to be alive and free what more do i need A handbook that i pass onto those like me who hide away throughout the day night owl come out i want to say i now must go and see the show don't wait for me to come back home...

[VERSE] I always used to say that the good times would end some day and when it came along i knew that i weren't wrong. So i got up from my chair, packed my things and went away. Now I'm sitting in a forest, tryna pass along my days. [CHORUS] Cause when all is said and done and you feel you can't go on. Just remember you can take it or leave it and then you can be sure. [VERSE] Clouds keep floating through the blue sky as wind passes through the leaves. The Days and nights don't seam to be so bad. So i'll continue sitting here underneath this old oak tree. As i think about the good time that i had. [CHORUS] Cause when all is said and done and you feel you can't go on. Just remember you can take it or leave it and then you can be sure. [SOLO] [CHORUS] Cause when all is said and done and you feel you can't go on. Just remember you can take it or leave it and then you can be sure. That You'll find me in a forest when my days are all long gone...

about

My debut venture into the world of Rock music. This album is a good introduction to my musical style, drawn from influences including Pink Floyd, The Moody Blues and Jethro Tull to name a few.

So start the record, sit back and enjoy the ride that is "Recluses Handbook"
