Say I I’m so tired of the war What they wanna hurt us for? I know it’s kill or be killed Just the thought makes my blood chill Say I, Say I, Say I, Say I Don’t wanna see no more people die Say I, Say I, Say I, Say I Don’t wanna see no more orphans cry Say I, Say I, Say I, Say I Don’t wanna see no more people die Say I, Say I, Say I, Say I Don’t wanna see no more orphans cry Say I I can’t take it any more All the crying can’t ignore Someone make it stop right now Wish I could but I don’t know how Say I, Say I, Say I, Say I Don’t wanna see no more people die Say I, Say I, Say I, Say I Don’t wanna see no more orphans cry Say I, Say I, Say I, Say I Don’t wanna see no more people die Say I, Say I, Say I, Say I Don’t wanna see no more orphans cry Say I The idea of peace is tearing you apart It’s confusing your ragged heart You’ve lived too long on the edge Take a step back from the ledge Take a step back from the ledge Say I, Say I, Say I, Say I There is plenty room for all It’s time to knock down those walls Say that you can live by my side Now’s the time for truth not lies Say I, Say I, Say I, Say I Don’t wanna see no more people die Say I, Say I, Say I, Say I Don’t wanna see no more orphans cry Say I, Say I, Say I, Say I Don’t wanna see no more people die Say I, Say I, Say I, Say I Don’t wanna see no more orphans cry Say I Paul Robert Thomas

This Song 04:11

This Song This song, this song, this song I was born in pain I was clothed in shame I have lost my name I have walked through flames And washed away the stains So nothing remains I’m just a shadow that no-one sees A grain of sand, a leaf on the breeze All I ever did was wrong Everyone I ever loved is gone All I got left is this song I was born and died I was bound and tied I have sold my eyes I have lost all pride And now I look on high To the bird that flies I was broke like a ship on the rocks A condemned man, with the cell door locked All I ever did was wrong Everyone I ever loved is gone All I got left is this song And here I stand alone Without a friend or home Poor and naked to the bone With my pockets full of stones But my heart beats strong For the time it won’t be long As it is hope that just calls me on No matter what, it’s what keeps me strong All I ever did was wrong Everyone I ever loved is gone All I got left is this song Is this song All I got left is this song All I got left is this song All I got left is this song This song This Song This song This song This song This song This song Paul Robert Thomas

On Charles De Gaulle Street The heat it burns my face But I can’t turn away I was born in this place And here I’m gonna stay Won’t be sad Won’t be blue Can’t be as bad as you think One of these days The thirst will go And they’ll be plenty to drink Lorraine don’t you fret no more Soon they’ll be no more heat The rains will soon start to pour As we shelter on Charles De Gaulle Street The light it feels so strong So I must close my eyes The day it seems so long It’s hard to work out why I can’t eat But I don’t care Coz I’m still alive But what I know If I don’t drink Then I will not survive Lorraine don’t you fret no more Soon they’ll be no more heat The rains will soon start to pour As we shelter on Charles De Gaulle Street On Charles De Gaulle Street On Charles De Gaulle Street On Charles De Gaulle Street Cross by the River Seine Stands so straight and true We all pray for the rain That will make everything new Don’t lose heart ‘Cause you know soon the birds will fly Just hold your faith and look on up There’s a rainbow in the sky Lorraine don’t you fret no more Soon they’ll be no more heat The rains will soon start to pour As we shelter on Charles De Gaulle Street Charles De Gaulle Street Charles De Gaulle Street Charles De Gaulle Street Charles De Gaulle Street Charles De Gaulle Street Paul Robert Thomas

Night Worker It’s been a long night baby And the stars are fading away It’s been a long night baby And I’m gonna sleep right through the day Wake me when the moon appears And the sun is hanging low Wake me when the moon appears And I’ll know it’s time to go I’m a night worker baby I do it for pay I’m a night worker baby I don’t care what anyone may say I’m good at what I do I know you know it’s true Before it all gets spent I got to pay the rent That’s why I do what I do I know you know it’s true That’s why I do what I do I know you know it’s true I’m a night worker baby I do it for pay I’m a night worker baby I don’t care what anyone may say It’s been a long night baby And the stars are fading away It’s been a long night baby And I’m gonna sleep right through the day Wake me when the moon appears And the sun is hanging low Wake me when the moon appears And I’ll know it’s time to go I’m a night worker baby I’m a night worker baby I don’t care what anyone may say I’m a night worker baby I do it for pay I’m a night worker baby I don’t care what anyone may say I’m a night worker baby I do it for pay Night worker, night worker Paul Robert Thomas

There’s Stormy Weather Red fields of Poppy’s Blowing in the wind Haunted whispers and violins Float down from the mountain Olive trees shake in the breeze Doves are being shot We’re in a deep deep freeze Though they tell us that we’re not Though they tell us that we’re not There’s a shadow in the house Yellow men on the moon Hurricane’s way down south In the month of June Stormy weather, stormy weather, stormy weather Just a lone voice in the wilderness A tear drop in the rain Can you feel the hopelessness And the pain? Hear thunder on the mountains Smoke rising in the air People screaming and shouting Everywhere There’s stormy weather Blowing in from the east Hell bent for leather Waiting for the feast Best say goodbye To your next of kin Our souls will fly on high Right next to our king Red fields of Poppy’s Blowing in the wind Haunted whispers and violins Float down from the mountain Olive trees shake in the breeze Doves are being shot We’re in a deep deep freeze Though they tell us that we’re not There’s a shadow in the house Yellow men on the moon Hurricane’s way down south In the month of June Just a lone voice in the wilderness A tear drop in the rain Stormy weather, stormy weather Just a lone voice in the wilderness A tear drop in the rain Can you feel the hopelessness And the pain? Hear thunder on the mountains Smoke rising in the air People screaming and shouting Everywhere Lord, there’s stormy weather Blowing in from the east Hell bent for leather Waiting for the feast Best say goodbye To your next of kin Our souls will fly on high Right next to our king, Lord Paul Robert Thomas

Peat Bog Soldiers Walking through the fields Walking through the fields of bones Bleached white Like the burning stones There’s not a bird There’s not a bird to sing his song No-one to stand up to scream What they’re doing to us is wrong We’re peat bog soldiers Fighting to stay as one This mud’s our battlefield Our soul’s our only gun We’re peat bog soldiers We’re peat bog soldiers We’re peat bog soldiers We fight the greatest battle The score is never settled Though cunning and full of deceit The enemy can be beat We’re peat bog soldiers Fighting to stay as one This mud’s our battlefield Our soul’s our only gun Storm clouds all around my head As I lie on my wooden bed I have no tears left to cry I’ve seen far too many die We’re peat bog soldiers Fighting to stay as one This mud’s our battlefield Our soul’s our only gun There are children over there I see them through the barbed wire In the distance they look back From the future they look back Children, children come to here Don’t close your eyes or your ears Learn from what you hear and see Through you our memory is guaranteed We’re peat bog soldiers Fighting to stay as one This mud’s our battlefield Our soul’s our only gun We’re peat bog soldiers We’re peat bog soldiers Fighting to stay as one This mud’s our battlefield Our soul’s our only gun Peat bog soldiers Peat bog soldiers Peat bog soldiers Paul Robert Thomas

Six Feet Under 06:53
lyrics

Six Feet Under Blamed for a crime that wasn’t done Shunned like a prisoner on the run Living in fear of that knock on the door Wondering what I was brought to this world for? Feel like a leper in the crowd Feel my heart pounding so loud Wishing someone would hear my point of view Something that most people don’t want to do After I’m cut down from Tyburn Gallows Take me away in an old wheel barrow Through the cobbled stoned streets so narrow To dig my grave so shallow Don’t make it deep When I’m six feet under When I’m six feet under When I’m six feet under Judge said ‘It’s done, I have to pay’ Screamed through his wig ‘Take him away Nothing’s fair and you know it’s true No-one wants to think any more ’bout you’ Felt they had taken all my hope Felt my neck tightening from the rope Never thought the end would happen like this Wasn’t here long enough for to be missed After I’m cut down from Tyburn Gallows Take me away in an old wheel barrow Through the cobbled stoned streets so narrow To dig my grave so shallow Don’t you write my name Just mark the spot with a number When I’m six feet under When I’m six feet under When I’m six feet under As I look down at the trap door They made a mistake that’s for sure Waiting for the news to come down the line Waiting to be saved in the nick of time Who should be pardoned them or me? None so blind as those who won’t see Forgive them for they know not what they do Forgive them for they know not what they do After I’m cut down from Tyburn Gallows Take me away in an old wheel barrow Through the cobbled stoned streets so narrow To dig my grave so shallow Don’t write no words When I’m six feet under Don’t write no words When I’m six feet under Don’t write no words When I’m six feet under Let them ask and wonder When I’m six feet under When I’m six feet under Blamed for a crime that wasn’t done Shunned like a prisoner on the run Living in fear of that knock on the door Wondering what I was brought to this world for? Feel like a leper in the crowd Feel my heart pounding so loud Wishing someone would hear my point of view Something that most people don’t want to do After I’m cut down from Tyburn Gallows Take me away in an old wheel barrow Through the cobbled stoned streets so narrow To dig my grave so shallow Don’t make it deep So I can hear the roar of the thunder When I’m six feet under When I’m six feet under When I’m six feet under Paul Robert Thomas

Till My Day Is Done I came from the tribe of twelve great men My roots they stretch to way back when For in the day follow the sun But I can’t rest till my day is done I want peace that’s for sure No I don’t close the door Come on in take a seat Fore you do wipe your feet In David’s House the line is clear The man will come from there to here It’s hard to wait I hope I’ll see From Bethlehem up to Galilee Yo, Yo, from Bethlehem to Galilee Till my day is done Till my day is done So much hurt so much pain From the sky falls hard rain Peace will come to this world Joy to all boys and girls The wall so high the fence so long To keep you out is that so wrong You want my land you want my home But all my life I been forced to roam No, no, without a home been forced to roam Till my day is done Till my day is done Till my day is done Life is sad life is short War takes lives if they’re fought Take my hand come with me Sit below the olive tree I say to you please hear my plea I won’t hurt you so don’t hurt me No one knows when that day will come Much brighter than the rising sun Yo, yo, day brighter than the rising sun Till my day is done Till my day is done I say to you please hear my plea I won’t hurt you so don’t hurt me No one knows when that day will come Much brighter than the rising sun Yo, yo, day brighter than the rising sun Life is sad life is short War takes lives if they’re fought Take my hand come with me Sit below the olive tree I say to you please hear my plea I won’t hurt you so don’t hurt me No one knows when that day will come Much brighter than the rising sun Yo, yo, day brighter than the rising sun Till my day is done Till my day is done Till my day is done Till my day is done Till my day is done Till my day is done Till my day is done Paul Robert Thomas

Those Schizophrenic Blues From early in the morning To late at night From when the day’s a-dawning To the last of the light I’m fighting to stay as one And not be split in two Trying to walk in the sun But I was born to lose I really don’t wanna tell you But I know it’s true I got those Schizophrenic Blues I got those Blues from the morning Got those Blues to night Oh mama tell me what to do Coz nothing feels right And there’s nothing I can do To stop those Schizophrenic Blues There’s a side to me that you don’t know And it’s tearing me apart And it’s breaking so My ragged aching heart You think I should be in a madhouse In a circus or a zoo? You wouldn’t think so If it happened to you There’s two sides to me Like day and night When night time falls I can feel it’s not right I really don’t wanna tell you But you’ll find it’s true I got those Schizophrenic Blues I got those Blues from the morning Got those Blues to night Oh mama tell me what to do Coz nothing feels right And there’s nothing I can do To stop those Schizophrenic Blues Paul Robert Thomas

Down, Down, Down 03:06

Down, Down, Down When you’re weighed down by all your troubles and woes Like you got concrete blocks tied to your feet Your body’s cracking from your head to your toes Like an ice statue melting in the heat And you’re gasping for air as the sharks close in You take one last breath as your ship goes down You ask God to forgive you for all your sins As a smile quickly replaces your frown You’re starting to go down Down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down, And there’s no way back up And your crew has left you to struggle alone You’re up to your neck in over your head You thought you could handle it all on your own But you can raise the ship but not the dead And the pressure gets you as you start to break The laws of gravity pulling you down For you’re not sure if you’re asleep or awake As you give up all hope and start to drown You’re starting to go down Down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down, down And there’s no way back up So if you can’t swim Don’t dive too deep If you’re scared of heights Don’t climb too high A tight rope walker Has a safety net A five star captain Some safety boats Know your bounds And keep your feet on the ground Keep your feet on the ground Or you’ll be going Down, down, down Or you’ll be going Down, down, down You’ll be going down, down, down, down, down, down, down And there’s no way back up And there’s no way back up And there’s no way back up Paul Robert Thomas
