Banging My Head Against The Wall 03:53
lyrics

Banging My Head Against The Wall I wake up in the morning Too tired to move I’m bursting with a yearning Not hungry for food I keep on standing but I fall Tryna get past where you’ve stalled Is like banging your head against the wall You try to go on forwards But you just get blocked You’re really going backwards You take knock after knock But I keep tryna play ball How many times must you fall? Feels like banging your head against the wall Against the wall, against the wall I’m just banging my head against the wall Against the wall, against the wall I’m just banging my head against the wall This big world keeps on turning It’s like it’s some big plan And ev’ry day I’m learning But I can’t understand You say I’m handsome and I’m tall Sometimes my mind can’t recall That I’m banging my head against the wall Against the wall, against the wall I’m just banging my head against the wall Against the wall, against the wall I’m just banging my head against the wall I feel the air is burning I just cannot breathe The rainbow dream is falling There’s no time to grieve You may feel big but you’re small In life it’s ‘winner takes all’ We’re all banging our heads against the wall Against the wall, against the wall You’re just banging your head against the wall Against the wall, against the wall We’re just banging my head against the wall Against the wall, against the wall We’re just banging our heads against the wall Against the wall, against the wall We’re just banging our heads against the wall Paul Robert Thomas

Better Days I was born I was raised In the wind Of a smoky haze I been blown I been burned I been barred When will I ever learn? But these eyes But these eyes Have seen better days Better days, better days These eyes have seen much better days Take me back Take me home I can’t stay No more on my own I’ve gone far I’ve gone bad I’ve gone weak Maybe I’m going mad And these eyes And these eyes Have seen better days Better days, better days These eyes have seen much better days I don’t know I don’t say I was right To leave you that way I need love I need you To come back And do the things that you do So these eyes So these eyes Will see better days Better days, better days These eyes will see much better days And these eyes And these eyes Have seen better days Better days, better days These eyes have seen much better days Paul Robert Thomas

Camden Town Blues 05:04

Camden Town Blues I saw you on that stall in Camden Town You were selling postcards of the past Your hair is grey though you got it coloured brown I guess inner beauty can never last You’re a sixties child No longer running wild You been tamed with styled Nostalgia’s made you fat What d’ya think about that? What d’ya think about that? Ah come on ya old punks and hippies in your designer shoes Come sing along to these Camden Town Blues Been thinkin’ ’bout all the places that I’ve been And all those people and things that I’ve seen But my thoughts were never far away from home Camden on my mind wherever I roamed And your reminiscing of ‘Those were the days’ All got lost in the 60’s smoky haze Of wars and riots and hate and broken glass I’m so glad those crazy days didn’t last You’re a sixties child No longer running wild You been tamed with style Nostalgia’s made you fat What d’ya think about that? What d’ya think about that? Ah come on ya old punks and hippies in your designer shoes And sing along to these Camden Town Blues They’ve bought and forced the poor right outta town They made it a ghetto for the rich The new clubs they all belt out the newest sounds They’ve built designer flats on our sports pitch You’re a sixties child No longer running wild You been tamed with style Nostalgia’s made you fat What d’ya think about that? What d’ya think about that? Ah come on ya old punks and hippies in your designer shoes Sing along to these Camden Town Blues Ah come on ya old punks and hippies in your designer shoes Sing along to these Camden Town Blues Ah come on ya old punks and hippies in your designer shoes Sing along to these Camden Town Blues Sing along to these Camden Town Blues Sing along to these Camden Town Blues Paul Robert Thomas

Remember 05:03

Remember I, I, I I remember you As the lover I never had I needed you to be true I needed someone that could make me feel glad When I saw you there On Egba Street where You’d risen with the morning sun Your face shone so bright You seemed so perfect and so right I hoped that you were the one I, I, I I remember you The picture’s still fresh in my mind You never were to me true But I can’t leave the mem’ry of you behind There’s one thing I know It was hard to let you go But I’m so glad that I did Your light started to fade I was living in the shade Keeping my feelings hid Remember Remember on Egba Street Remember Remember we were destined to meet Remember you said One day we’d wed Remember As then the sky turn from blue to red I, I, I, I remember you As your anger took control That you found hard to subdue You released demons from inside your soul And when you were done We stood there hurt and stunned You said that you weren’t to blame My scars just won’t heal They’re deep inside concealed And it’s such a crying shame I, I, I I remember you As the lover I never had I needed you to be true I needed someone that could make me feel glad Couldn’t take any more I threw you out the door I’m so glad that I did It’s hard to be alone And this house isn’t a home But at least now I can start to live Remember Remember on Egba Street Remember Remember we were destined to meet Remember you said One day we’d wed Remember As then the sky turned from blue to red Paul Robert Thomas

Sugar Baby Some people just shouldn’t be on the dance floor I really don’t know what I came here for You know I ain’t really been in love And you tower over me from above I just wanna try to look cool And not make myself look a fool Before all these people assembled Baby you make my knees tremble Oh yes you do You’re my sugar baby That’s for sure Your sweet taste leaves me Wanting more You melt in my mouth Like a sugar cube You’re sweeter than anything I’ve ever seen on You Tube Oh yes you are Teach me all the moves and how to boogie too I’ll rock you with these Tel-Aviv Blues You know I really ain’t telling tales Coz no matter what even nine inch nails Can be hammered in really deep But they won’t stop my happy feet Quickly it’s making me lose control I feel it vibrating my soul Oh yes it is You’re my sugar babe That’s for sure Your sweet taste leaves me Needing more You melt in my mouth Like a honey comb Come on baby take me home You like 2 lumps in your tea I’ll give you three You like 2 lumps in your tea I’ll give you three You’re my sugar baby That’s for sure Your sweet taste leaves me Wanting more You’re my sugar baby That’s for sure Your sweet taste leaves me Wanting more Paul Robert Thomas

Frustration Oh honey it’s so hard with you Why do you do the things you do? You shake me and take me To places unknown But when I call you You don’t answer the telephone Can’t go on with this situation I’m gonna die of chronic frustration Frustration, frustration, frustration Frustration, frustration, yeah It’s hard to keep it all inside It’s starting to show it’s hard to hide These feelings I’ve got won’t go away They’re getting stronger each night and day When I go to bed with my last yawn To when I get up at the crack of dawn Why do you lead me to temptation But leave me with nothing but frustration Frustration, frustration, frustration Frustration, frustration, yeah There’s a way to help me you know it’s true I could help myself but I want that you Will give me some relief It won’t take long I’ll make it brief Come be a good girl just let it be I’ll do the same for you if you’d let me Come and give me some good vibrations Ah take away all this frustration Frustration, frustration, frustration Frustration, frustration, yeah Can’t go on with this situation I’m gonna die of chronic frustration Frustration, frustration, frustration Frustration, frustration, yeah Oh take away this frustration from my tongue Coz it’s making me feel old when I am young My head is throbbing and wants to explode I’m feeling I’m carrying a heavy load Frustration, frustration driving me insane If I don’t get help I’ll never ever be the same Starting to lose all my sensation Because of all this frustration Frustration, frustration, frustration, yeah Paul Robert Thomas

Leo 03:28
lyrics

Leo Born out of wedlock on a starry night You were dragged screaming into the light Was given a gift by the Gods above You repaid it by revealing your love You knew the secrets of the birds You talked in pictures not in words You wrote in code to fool all the spies At your feet lay the rich the wise Leo, Leo Wandering the land Leo, Leo When will they ever understand? Leo, Leo Wandering the land Leo, Leo, Leo One night the stone mouth of truths sold you out When you asked the soldiers ‘What’s it all about’? They guard the gates against the winds of change They sneered ‘Your mind’s too free so it must be chained’! You saw things no-one else could see You were the one who held the keys You opened doors to worlds unknown You sat next to kings on their thrones Leo, Leo Ahead of your time Leo, Leo Your truth is passing down the line Ahead of your time Leo, Leo, Leo Your truth is passing down the line You showed us so many colours and signs You helped to give back the blind their sight You turned the darkness into light Were you sent from heaven above? From the Ark like a guiding white dove? Were you sent from heaven above? From the Ark like a guiding white dove? One day you gave up the ghost and died Lisa as always was there right by your side Last thing you took from this world was her smile They cried ‘He’s not gone, he’ll be back in a while’ You left us the works of your hands So in time we could understand Even though some said you were mad You were the dad I wish I’d had Leo, Leo Bright star in the sky Leo, Leo I thank the Lord that you passed by Leo, Leo Leo, Leo, Leo Your truth is passing down the line You showed us so many colours and signs You helped to give back the blind their sight You turned the darkness into light Leo, Leo Leo, Leo, Leo Leo, Leo Leo, Leo, Leo Leo, Leo Leo, Leo, Leo Leo, Leo Leo, Leo, Leo Paul Robert Thomas

My Identity 04:14
lyrics

My Identity Feeling like a stranger in a strange land It’s hard for me to understand I’m lost in a world where I don’t belong For how long can I fight and be strong? Can you please tell me who I am? I’d be so grateful if you can I’m not the one who was here before I’m not sure who I am no more I’m searching high, I’m searching low Searching in those strange places I go Trying to find the man in me Trying to find my identity My identity The man in the mirror is not me I’m not sure who it is I see This house I’m in is not my home It’s built of straw and not of stone The sand is shifting beneath my feet I’m burning up from the constant heat Can I ask you if can you tell Am I in this world or is it hell? Keep searching high, keep searching low Searching in those strange places I go Trying to find the man in me Trying to find my identity I need to escape back to the past But the sea I crossed is so vast I ended up crashed upon the shore Fighting this lone internal war This lone internal war How did I reach this god forsaken place? I hang my head low in disgrace I must have taken a wrong turn And passed the point of no return Still searching high, still searching low Still searching in those strange places I go Trying to find the man in me Will I ever find my identity My identity My identity My identity My identity Will I ever find my identity?

Its Been So Long It’s been so long Since I held you It’s been so long Since I told you How much I love you Love you, love you, love you Maybe we don’t talk enough Maybe we find it tough It’s not the words you say But the spaces in between That say more to me Than what you think you mean That say more to me Than what you think you mean Maybe it’s all become too familiar Maybe our thoughts have become too similar Maybe it’s time to start a-new Let’s leave the kids at home And go somewhere alone Just me and you It’s been so long Since I held you It’s been so long Since I told you How much I love you Love you, love you, love you Love you, love you, love you Come raise your glass and say ‘cheers’ Here’s to the next fun packed years Up to now it’s been a rough ride But I’d go to the ends of the earth With you by my side Paul Robert Thomas

In Way Too Deep You stole my heart Like a thief in the night I heard you depart With the morning light I’ll never be the same Can’t turn back the clock No one is to blame I’m in love I know it’s a shock I never meant it to be like this I never felt like this before But I was hooked after just one kiss I can’t wait for you to come back through that door You stole my heart It’s yours to keep Right from the start I know I’m in way too deep Way too deep, in way too deep I know I’m in way too deep I thought at first You were a one night stand How you quenched my thirst Left me feeling grand Then I looked in your eyes Saw through to your soul Took me by surprise Was like you I had always known I never meant it to be like this I never felt like this before But I was hooked after just one kiss I can’t wait for you to come back through that door You stole my heart It’s yours to keep Right from the start I know I’m in way too deep Way too deep, in way too deep The day has passed And you still have not shown Now my heart beats fast It’s you on the phone I’m waiting for the night When you’ll come to me Then it will feel right When you are lying next to me I never meant it to be like this I never felt like this before But I was hooked after just one kiss I can’t wait for you to come back through that door You stole my heart It’s yours to keep Right from the start Right from the start Paul Robert Thomas

Fat Girls in Skin Tight White Jeans There’s so many diff’rent people in this world All kinds of guys and all kinds of girls There’s some mystery’s I can’t understand Maybe it’s hard coz I’m just a man Just don’t call me a ‘male chauvinist pig’ Coz I love women whether small or big And I’m not trying to be mean But why do fat girls wear skin tight white jeans? It’s a mystery, it’s a mystery, It’s a mystery to me It’s a mystery, it’s a mystery, It’s a mystery to me I sure ain’t no Mister Universe no But I try to keep some self pride you know What makes me laugh and never fails Is almost bald men with long pony tails! That’s a mystery, that’s a mystery, That’s a mystery to me That’s a mystery, that’s a mystery, That’s a mystery to me I don’t say that you can’t flaunt what you’ve got But self-delusions can blind you a lot Your ego I don’t mean to hurt But hairy pot bellied guys in short T-shirts Are a mystery, are a mystery Are a mystery to me Are a mystery, are a mystery Are a mystery to me There’s so many diff’rent people in this world All kinds of guys and all kinds of girls There’s some mystery’s I can’t understand Maybe it’s hard coz I’m just a man There’s so many diff’rent people in this world All kinds of guys and all kinds of girls There’s some mystery’s I can’t understand Maybe it’s hard coz I’m just a man It’s a mystery, it’s a mystery, It’s a mystery to me It’s a mystery, it’s a mystery, It’s a mystery to me It’s a mystery, it’s a mystery, It’s a mystery to me It’s a mystery, it’s a mystery, It’s a mystery to me Paul Robert Thomas
