I Didn't Need You Anyway (female vocals)
I always knew you wouldn't stay
So I'll just sit here and I'll pray
My car needs fuel
But I'll leave it for the day
I didn't need you anyway
Not for a moment or a day
Not for the things you used to say
I didn't need you anyway
The subtle words we lovers choose
I said it all here in my head
The subtle moves we lovers use
I had it all here in my bed
I didn't need you anyway
Not for a moment or a day
Take your things you need and stay
I didn't need you anyway
Would that I could
I would call you and tell you
I misunderstood when I said
That I loved you
but baby
Isn't easy to pretend
I didn't need you in the end
I look around all I see is you face
I didn't need you anyway
Not for a moment or a day
Not for the things that you used to say
I didn't need you anyway
I didn't need you anyway
I can't let you go
The Dig (fast furious and funky)
I saw you once I saw you twice
I think that you are oh so nice
So hear me now you beautiful girl
And make a date for a whole new world
Cause I dig you a lot lot lot
a lot lot lot
Cause I dig you a lot lot lot
a lot lot lot
Your friend's say yes
Your dad says no
I say follow your friends
Well hows dad gonna know
Your body says maybe
Well don't be unkind
Stay away baby
Just do it with your mind
Cause I dig you a lot lot lot
a lot lot lot
Cause I dig you a lot lot lot
a lot lot lot
If a million years
Were to go by
Archaeology will still not die
For even though all life is gone
Some alien dude will be singing this song
Dig it
I dig you a lot lot lot
a lot lot lot
Cause I dig you a lot lot lot
a lot lot lot
Dig out
Soul of Eden (environmental lyrics)
Don't you know who I am
I'm the soul of eden
Dying at the hands of man
Soon I'll stop breathing
Don't you know who I am
I'm the soul of eden
Dying at the hands of man
And it's happening still
Oil spills, atomic meltdowns
It's all big bills
I can't afford to pay, yeah
Wastelands made
That last forever
But I'll be here
Beyond the fiscal year
Don't you know who I am
I'm the soul of eden
Dying at the hands of man
Soon I'll stop breathing
Traffic jams
Planned obsolescence
Well its the creeping sands
Where the damage has been done
Got a plastic bag
For your disposable lifestyle
But it's ozone safe
The gimmick lasts for awhile
Don't you know who I am
I'm the soul of eden
Dying at the hands of man
Soon I'll stop breathing
Don't you know who I am
I'm the soul of eden
Dying at the hands of man
And it's happening still
Yeah it's
Yeah it's
Happening still
Yeah it's
Happening still
Now it's
Happening still
And it's
Happening still
Happy Days (smooth jazz guitar)
Snuggle up close
I miss you the most
Though I'm with you
I'm without
It's a shame, a shame
The way the people know
They always know
That I'm without
By the sea
I wait patiently
Least the sky, the seagulls
Still coming back
Look away
Tomorrow is another
Day of sunshine
Happy days,
Happy days
Closing Down Blues (male - female vocal)
Well I'm singing those closing down blues
They're getting me down
I'm singing those closing down blues
Can't bring my smile around
Since my baby left me
I've been closing down those blues
Well I'm on, I'm on now
Little low, low street
Stuck in the middle of Avondale
In a little factory
Playing with my boys
That's all I wanna do
Well have you ever been to Istanbul
I've never been there myself
Well have you ever been to Moscow
I've never been there
But I've heard it's really neat sometimes
Especially in August
When you can go toboganning in Red Square
And now
Introducing the lovely Erin
Long long time ago
Way back in the past
Long long time ago
Back in the past
Sweet as a baby
It was a blast
I was born in the cotton fields
Ain't no place to go
Well I was born in the cotton fields
All I got is some seeds to sow
Well I've been sowing a few seeds of my own
Hey boys why don't you
Come and join me
Down on the farm
In the blues barn, yeah
Listen to those mother fathers play the blues
All right
Introducing the lovely Erin
Long long time ago
Way back in the past
Ooh yeah babe
Long long time ago
Way back in the past
Ooh it was sweet
Oh it was a blast
Yes ladies and gentlemen
The lovely Erin
Sing
Sing it again
Sweet sweet blast
Long long time ago
Deep in the past
It was a blast
Baby it's come and gone
Well you're my sweet inspiration
You're the one I love
Well you're my sweet inspiration
I feel like you've been
Sent from the stars above
Come to me now
Let's make sweet love
Oh let me hold you in my arms
Squeeze you tight like a peach
Oh baby step one foot closer
You're in
You're within my reach yeah
We're gonna have some fun
Let's go have a swim at the beach
All right
Love (acoustic electric love song)
I thought I loved you
Cause you didn't wear any makeup
I thought I loved you
Cause you didn't seem to have a care
But all I really needed was to wake up
And realise that there ain't no reason there
Cause love doesn't have pretentions
Love doesn't need an answer
Love it ignores convention
You must believe in love
How to say it but the words
Seem to escape me
I know I feel it but
I just can't speak my heart
I wonder if you felt the same way lately
But the worse that could happen
Is we both just drift apart
Cause love is a solo dancer
Love doesn't need an answer
Love is a soul enhancer
You must believe in love
You must believe in love
Like a heaven above
Like a white feather dove
You must believe in love
Cause love doesn't have pretentions
Love doesn't need an answer
Love it ignores conventions
You must believe in love
Cause love is a solo dancer
Love doesn't need an answer
Love is a soul enhancer
You must believe in love
In The City (upbeat melodic jazz funk)
Cast yourself
Into a big parade
Burgers, shops and people
An amusement arcade
Amongst the tourist season
And it ain't no joke
Chances are you'll find me
In the big black smoke
Cause when you're looking left and right
Trying to find which way to turn
In the city
It don't look pretty
Cars, trucks, shoeshine man
Mothers lost her baby's pram
Lights turned red again
Sifting through the traffic jam
Buy a paper from a stand
Check out the latest band
In the end it's all the same
Enough to drive you all insane
The city
The city
In the city
In the city
In the city
In the city
Instrumentals
Auckland Blues: (sax, drums, acoustic guitar)
Swans and Ducks (smooth funky jazz)

That Feeling (ambient love song)
Don't you know what's on my mind
Can't you see or are you blind
For so long I've loved you
Don't go, please just stay awhile
You can't know all the hurt inside
I've been so lonely
All I need is that feeling deep inside
Yes indeed it's that feeling that keeps me alive
All I need is that feeling deep inside
Help me baby, don't you let that feeling die
Maybe, if you heard this song
Just maybe you wouldn't wait so long
To say that you're with me
Love is a game that people play
Truth is, my heart gives me away
I'm at your mercy
All I need is that feeling deep inside
Yes indeed it's that feeling that keeps me alive
What I need is that feeling deep inside
Help me baby, don't you let that feeling die
All I need is that feeling deep inside
Yes indeed it's that feeling that keeps me alive
What I need
Angels Inside (spiritual easy listening)
If you listen
To the angels inside
What do you hear
And will you let them be your guide
Or will you run away and hide
In your fear
Do they envelope you like colors of a rainbow
Not of this earth
Like fallen leaves from naked trees
Does it help you when you're down on your knees
They will protect you from the ordinary one
They will create a life where shallow waters run
Ooh angels inside
Ooh angels inside
And when you cling to living rocks
With an expression born of grief
The sweet voice sings
If it reminds you of yourself
The one who sits upon the shelf
With halo rings
At least when it is said
It isn't sitting in your head
And if its true
At least they learnt a little more about
The crazy things you do
They will protect you from the ordinary one
They will create a life where shallow waters run
Oh, Ooh angels inside
Ooh angels inside
They will protect you from the ordinary one
They will create a life where shallow waters run
Oh,Ooh angels inside
Ooh angels inside
My angel
My angel
My angel
Under the Icon (acoustic 3 piece ballad)
Of all the things I love the most
Not to tell a lie
The blackened shores along this coast
Surrounded by the sky
Surrounded by the sky
Surrounded by the sky
And rising from the earth does stand
Subtle white sublime
A mountain where the waters meet
Embracing all the land
Embracing all the land
Embracing all the land
And stretching to the sea
An icon for the land
A monument to mother earth
Nurtured from it's birth
Nurtured from it's birth
Nurtured from it's birth
Beneath the shadow
The daisy chains
The one way lanes
Wells
Heart, sugar lumps, Marsden bells
You tell me I'll forget one day
Forgive my happy song
And under that big icon
I'll remember you
I'll remember you
I'll remember you
Oh I'll remember you
And I'll remember you
The Poet In Me (acoustic, female vocal)
A poet sees the sun and moon
And speaks of hope and love and joy
Or images of life
Or the images of life
The poet shapes the word
To open up the door
To free the poet in me
The poets catch the colours
And when they do the grass is greener
And the snow is whiter
And your eyes more blue
The poet shapes the word
To open up the door
To free the poet in me
A poet sees the sun and moon
And speaks of hope and love and joy
Or images of life
Or the images of life
The poet shapes the word
To open up the door
To free the poet in me
The poets catch the colours
And when they do the grass is greener
And the snow is whiter
And your eyes more blue
The poet shapes the word
To open up the door
To free the poet in me
The poet in me
The poet shapes the word
To open up the door
When they do the grass is greener
And the snow is whiter
And your eyes more blue
To free the poet in me
The poet shapes the word
To open up the door
To free the poet in me
To free the poet in me
Dont Dream Tonight (new age world song)
Welcome
To your nightmare
Don't sleep tonight
Don't dream tonight
For you might not wake
And in the big day break
Know I'll be here
Waiting
Don't sleep tonight
Baby don't you dream tonight
Stay
Welcome, welcome
To your own evicting dream
And never to return
You say you'll never be
Don't leave the past behind
Don't say it's all the same
I know it's just a game
But passion runs too high
Welcome, welcome
To your own evicting dream
And never to return
You say you'll never be
Welcome, welcome, welcome
To your own evicting dream
And never to return
You say you'll never be
Just People (live reggae female vocal)
I know the reason
I love my people
I know the reason
I love my people
Have you ever
Known the reason
To love your people
Know the good reason
To love your people
Just people
All colored people
All just people
Love the people, Oh
Stay at home
We don't come
They just play
Just people
Todaca
Just people
Love is people
Just people
Oh love your people
On go the she-train
Along the border and down
Off the she-train
The lion comes around
Oh just people
Your people
Oh just people
The people
Going on down
Spend some time awhile
We don't know where we're going
It don't matter anymore
Oh just people
Your people
Oh just people
The people
Oh just people
Oh just people
The lion comes again
The lion has come again
The lion has come
Oh the lion has come again
Sitting on my Shoulder (smooth blues)
We were down by the sea
Doing our thing
Together
Sitting in the sand
Wanting you to hold my hand
Something about
The way we sit beside
Cosy
Oh yeah
I'm so cosy
Don't move me
Light the cigarettes
By the sea
It's a cosy little harbour
You might be guided
By faith or fashion
You might be guided
By faith and fame and fashion
But the cold in the air
On my back
Sitting on my shoulder
Is a girl who's saying no
Sitting on my shoulder
Is a girl who's saying yes
We don't know what to say
With you I wanna go
There's a man in the corner
Smiling on me
There's a man in the corner
Smiling at me
Won't be long
I wanna go there
To you
You're Real (melodic rock, female vocal)
Another rainy day
And I can feel you
The passion burns my veins
And after all this time
Some things never change
Never change
Another lonely night
A hazy light
Oh won't you come dance for me
Just me
If I could have my way
And tell you how I feel
I wouldn't change a thing
You're real
If I could have my way
And tell you how I feel
I wouldn't change a thing
You're real
You're real
