Lorraine 06:18
Lorraine Lyrics In the early morning, Lorraine, I call your name But you don’t remain Just your sweet refrain Taps my window pane I’m falling like you Lorraine Oh Lorraine Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine Driverless train Swirling ’round by brain Driving me insane I can’t be the same I’m falling like you Lorraine Oh Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine Lorraine’s driving fast Her anger won’t last It’s all so clear I love when she’s near I was dying of thirst She gave till I burst She’s here in disguise To give you a surprise You saved me Lorraine You saved me again Lorraine Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine Dissolve my chains Penetrate my pain Baby cleanse my veins Wash away the stains I’m falling like you Lorraine Oh Lorraine Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine You called I came You put out the flames Of this losing game That would have me slain I’m falling like you Lorraine Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine When I needed you You were there When my body ached You cared You soothed me And eased the pain Can’t live without you Lorraine You’re my saviour my saint My heartbeat was so faint You revived me and saved me Gave me breath and set me free You saved me Lorraine You saved me again Lorraine Paul Robert Thomas

The River Is Flowing Through Veins The river is flowing through my veins My toes are walking but are numb My hunger’s driving me insane My pockets are full of crumbs I struggle about to keep still As the wind it hurls around Skeleton’s hanging on the hill Keeping watch over the town For why did I come to this place People they come here to die Come drive the shadows from my face And the echoes ringing in my eyes I’m with you but I’m alone You were never here to be missed You know I never like to moan But you looked away when we kissed So far away when I was young The air was crisp it was clean All tasted fresh on my tongue And I was left all alone to dream Come stranger tell me if you can Can it be that I’ve lost the way Can you please take hold of my hand So I won’t once again stray As on the stone floor I sat Next to the old wishing well You threw a coin in my empty hat It was me but you couldn’t tell When they opened up the gate Threw me out into the world I didn’t know what would be my fate Just like every other boy and girl My back it aches and it creaks My words are slurred and indistinct My breath is shallow and is weak How much further must I sink The road it twisted and it turned The lovers they came and they went My heart broken how it burned The smoke of memories heaven sent My back is bent against the wind My crooked fingers are so cold Why me I tried never to sin I just needed someone to hold I always tried to be me I wish there was some other way I just wish that you could see And hear the things I needed to say Paul Robert Thomas

Once Upon A Time Once upon a time I was with you Once upon a time Everything seemed new You held my hand I held yours too We fell in love Like Angels above There was music in the air Flowers in bloom Making sweet love with you By the light of the moon Once upon a time Once upon a time But the rains fell down The skies turned grey You went away You wouldn’t stay Once upon a time I was with you Once upon a time Everything seemed new Now I sit alone My heart’s turned to stone Inside my room This house is not a home Once upon a time Once upon a time Once upon a time Seems so long ago Once upon a time We loved each other so Once upon a time I was with you Once upon a time Everything seemed new There was music in the air Flowers in bloom Making sweet love with you By the light of the moon But the rains fell down The skies turned grey You went away You wouldn’t stay Once upon a time Once upon a time Once upon a time Once upon a time Once upon a time I was with you Once upon a time Everything seemed new Once upon a time Once upon a time Once upon a time Once upon a time Paul Robert Thomas

Moon Dog Blues You never treat me right Even though I treat you kind You never do treat me right I tried my best to be kind All you seem to wanna do – is tangle up my mind! You call me a ‘moon-dog’ When it’s you that’s done me wrong You call me ‘an old moon-dog’ When you gone and done me wrong Coz you leave me howling at – the moon each time you’re gone! Howl Howl Howl Howl x 4 Howling at the moon These moon dog blues You never walk the dog You say it’s my job to do You don’t like to walk the dog You say that’s for me to do You know that sometimes I need – a little help from you! This dog he needs some love For it’s what we all need right Give this dog some of your love I know you can make it right Please don’t be rough with him – don’t pull his chain too tight! Howl Howl Howl Howl Howling at the moon Howl Howl Howl Howl Come over here mama Come take this dog for a walk You come here pretty mama Take this dog for a good walk They’ll be no howling – no I won’t even talk! You never take me to eat At places where there’s a crowd No we never go and eat And sit where there is a crowd When I complain you just say “Sign says ‘No Dogs Allowed’!! You say when we make love That I only know one way You say when we’re making love That I know no other way I don’t wanna face it no – you’re lucky you I don’t make you pay Howl Howl Howl Howl Howling at the moon Howl Howl Howl Howl I’m howling at the moon Howl Howl Howl Paul Robert Thomas

Instant Love 05:34
Instant Love I went with you coz you were there It didn’t matter we didn’t care I didn’t think I’d see you again Don’t remember even your name Then I saw you stare from across the room It got hard to breathe was like in a tomb I couldn’t be sure, sure that it was you For your hair had changed you’d put on some weight too But when you smiled then I was sure I had to get out and run for the door Then it was just a moment in time And what we did wasn’t a crime Was just a time of need With a hunger to feed Was just instant love Instant love, instant love, instant love Was just a time of need With a hunger to feed Was just instant love Instant love, instant love Was just instant love Instant love, instant love But when we’d finished with the fun and laughter Then what about all the guilt after? What about all the guilt after? I liked you then you liked me too It was understood that what we do Would all be done and then be erased That was the time of crazy days Now and then we need anyone to hold Don’t matter if we are young or we’re old Maybe it was wrong and maybe was not For how it felt then I already forgot So stay away don’t come too near I’m kind of well gone from too many beers Sometimes I’m weak and sometimes I’m strong Sometimes I need love all night long It’s just a time of need We’ve got hunger to feed It’s just instant love Instant love, instant love It’s just a time of need We’ve got hunger to feed It’s just instant love Instant love, Was just instant love Instant love, instant love And we’ll both enjoy all the fun and laughter And not worry about the guilt till after Not worry about the guilt till after Not worry about the guilt till after The guilt till after The guilt till after The guilt till after The guilt till after The guilt till after The guilt till after The guilt till after Paul Robert Thomas

Telephone Love Blues Today has been The longest day of my life Today has been The longest day of my life Never seen so much, no, no I’ve Never seen so much So much Trouble and so much strife The sky is grey Wind’s howling in through the trees The sky is grey Wind’s howling in through the trees Falling rain so hard Falling rain so hard Water’s up to my knees Telephone Love Telephone Love The road’s so long It’s been such a long hard ride The road’s so long It’s been such a long hard ride Couldn’t have done it, no, no. no Couldn’t have done it Without you by my side Telephone Love Telephone Love Books are burning The T.V.’s taken control Books are burning The T.V.’s taken control People so empty, oh no People so empty Inside all sold their souls Telephone Love Telephone Love I’m going out Just can’t stay in any more I’m going out Just can’t stay in any more Guess I’d better wash Guess I’d better wash Looks like I been in a war Say you won’t go And never leave me alone Say you won’t go And never leave me alone Remember when we made love Remember when we made love darling That time on the telephone That time on the telephone Paul Robert Thomas

Stepping Up The Action They’re stepping up the action I’m getting ready to go They’re stepping up the action This place is gonna blow Come here mama and take my hand We gotta get out to some other land Let’s break those gates and swim ashore We’ll reach that land and won’t want more They’re stepping up the action I’m getting ready to go They’re stepping up the action This place is gonna blow The sun’s rising there that’s for sure We’ll forget all of these cruel bloody wars We’ll make it through that day will come We’ll join our hands and dance as one They’re stepping up the action I’m getting ready to go They’re stepping up the action This place is gonna blow Sealed the borders no where to run There’s thunder in the sky like roaring guns Hide in the loft don’t make a sound If we stay still we won’t be found They’re stepping up the action I’m getting ready to go They’re stepping up the action This place is gonna blow The train’s crowded and it’s hell bound There’s broken glass and books on burning ground And if I don’t see you again Think of me when you feel the rain They’re stepping up the action I’m getting ready to go They’re stepping up the action This place is gonna blow Paul Robert Thomas

I Believe 03:33
I Believe I believe in a better tomorrow That’s not far from today I believe that pain and sorrow Will disappear and go away I believe, I believe Don’t hurt others with words or deeds Don’t turn your back on those in need Teach your children to love and respect Show them the way that’s true and correct I believe that we will see a new day And we’ll find a new way I believe in pure love that’s true I believe you will one day too I believe, I believe Learn from mistakes and grow within Reach for the stars let life begin Peace and love inside you are the keys To open your heart and set you free I believe, I believe I believe in a better tomorrow That’s not far from today I believe that pain and sorrow Will disappear and go away I believe, I believe I believe in you I hope that you will believe in me too Paul Robert Thomas

Goodbye 02:08
Goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I’m sad you don’t wanna be with me anymore But I understand You have to go your own way to another shore And leave me behind The times we had together were something unique But they can’t return Maybe we won’t meet again maybe we won’t speak But I’ll remember I’ll never forget you And what might have been So it’s with a deep sigh I say to you goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye No, there’s no need to reply Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Paul Robert Thomas
