Elegy - Howard Jones
Please don’t look at me this way I am from the same seed as you Take me back to the womb I am weary of this life Don’t believe in my eyes Don’t believe in my mind Don’t believe in right or wrong Don’t believe in cruel or kind But all this talk is only […]

Flying through the airwaves Living through the printed word Flasher in the living room Guru of the seen and heard Who decides what we get to hear Fuzzy round the edges or making it clear Blinding us with those facts Chorus The power of the media will make up our minds The power of the […]
Half past 12 on a friday night everything’s wrong and it doesn’t feel right Tried to talk to someone in the bar she didn’t like my face i didn’t get far When you grow up you’re gonna walk big strides just like me When you grow up you’re gonna hit the big time wait and […]
