TIMES

(Jake Watt / 2008 ©)

 

you'll never hear in someone's voice

what is to gain here but the choice

the feelings deep within the soul

to live your life once and for all

truth is not within a word

words are painful & vain

its in the silence the unheard

as in the tone of stifled pain

 

so many times of life to spare

why are the good times all so rare

hang them together on the line

hang on to them and you'll be fine...

 

you spoke out loud above the crowd

and to your feet they kneeled and bowed

what of the distant plaintive cry

ignored by all left there to die

now we all need a little pride

a little praise from time to time

hand in hand side by side

we'll be brothers in crime

 

so many times of life to spare

why are the good times all so rare

hang them together on the line

hang on to them and you'll be fine...

 

BYE BYE LOVE

(Jake Watt / 2007 ©)

 

the sound of distant bells and with it truth unveils

you're gone - you just left me here to die

beginnings they lead to an end i made of loneliness a friend

when hello is just a way to say goodbye

 

cause there are many things that i will just not understand

a distant love - the stars above - letting you go...

 

bye bye love

 

i'm caught up in this scene - i'm the king without a queen

so lonely my eyes no longer see

the pictures on the wall - an empty house a missing soul

still in my memories you're just like angels ought to be

 

all the times together they still live here in my dreams

do you remember Venice - the nights in Paris - Mennagio...

 

bye bye love

 

 

MY DEAR FRIENDS

(Jake Watt / 2008 ©)

 

my dear friends and gentle hearts

you're all to proud to say

maybe i'm too numb to feel

is it all just breaking apart ?

is it in my mind or is it for real ?

 

all the signs you're giving away

misunderstandings

thay have a limit

only fact and time will say

was it in my mind or was it for real...

 

was it in my mind ?

 

my dear friends why is this so

for there's a million ways

to speak your heart

your every words are pure thin air

is it in my mind or is it for real ?

 

in every beauty lies a flaw

and Jekyll & Hide was it for real ?

at every bend a raging war

is it in my mind or is it for real ?

 

was it in my mind ?

 

 

LONDON TOWN

(Jake Watt / 2008 ©)

 

a normal day in london town

a million lives just passing by

absent-minded in london town

but i will rise again

i will rise again...

 

another night in london town

playing old tunes on an old guitar

sure there is hope here all around

in the silence of a shooting star

and i will rise again...

 

i sent you postcards of london town

i know i've sentenced my dreams to life

sometimes its better just to lie

and hope it will ease the strife

and i will rise again...

 

its been a year now in london town

i now have sheltered from the rain

a million lives still passing by

but will i fight the pain

and i will rise again...

ROCKMORE BLUES

(Jake Watt / 2007 ©)

 

i've had my share of all these

fancy people and their

fancy talks in their

fancy clothes i don't know

did i fancy them before ?

 

i'm in no mood

if you only understood

it's rockmore blues

 

i've had my share of all these

awkward years never ending

oddities and now i'm

on my knees i don't know

who's the freak and where's the show ?

 

i'm in no mood

if you only understood

it's rockmore blues

 

i've had my share of all this

time to spare where all is

pure thin air and will i

just be fair i dont know

should i stay or should i go ?

 

i'm in no mood

if you only understood

it's rockmore blues

 

IF NOT THIS LIFE

(Jake Watt / 2009 ©)

 

I thought that you’d be so happy without me

So i packed up my stuff and i planted a tent in Alaska

But I miss you still

I must be High cause i don’t feel the bite of the snow

Just as peter & Andrew, they bury me slow…

 

If not this time

If I’m not the one in town

If not this life

 

Your kisses are sweet but i cannot taste them

I’m growing tired of your so-called social conventions

Cause baby, they mean nothing to me…

There’s something true something magic about you

I’ve been fooling myself in believing a time will come

No such thing in love as second chance…

 

If not this time

If i’m not the one in town – I guess not…

If not this life We’ll meet up in the other

 

I miss you blue sea

Without you I’m stranded you see

I’ll be waiting You know where to find me
