Paradise
Oi it's me
I'm calling through a line directly to you
and the distance that is between us
it should stop because we are,
two of those that should be together
working at the same time using
the same frame of mind
and in my case that is fine
when I'm talking to you
I get a shiver up my spine
we're like the sun and the moon
fork and knife
relaxing my friend
because you know
it will only be a short while
Until we find..
Paradise
this life on earth
what we are given from our birth
it's good, make it what you want it to be
because you're feeling on top
when you're moving on your feet (x2)
And there's the Caribbeans ..speakin
with their funny English
Sayin 'yo Tobago it's the place to go
You never gonna find a place so chilled and slow'
Selling their jewelry at their store
Minglin and dinglin from their ears to the floor
with those girls Kirsty and Nicky
looking on sideways saying
come and stay tonight
you know we just may
oh guys well you know
you are my new friends
and I don't wanna leave
cos I know that I've found
Paradise
life on earth
what we are given from our birth
it's good, make it what you want it to be
because you're feeling on top
when you're moving on your feet (x2)
Dancing in the heat on this warm summers night
on the beach round a fire
acoustic guitar rustic amplifier yeah
It will only be a short while
(Solo sera un ratito)
It will only be a short while
(Pra que te quedes a gustito)
It will only be a short while
(Le le le)
Until we find
Paradise
this life on earth
what we are given from our birth
it's good, make it what you want it to be
because you're feeling on top
when you're moving on your feet (x2)

Hey, I saw a shade underneath a tree
Looking high up into the golden blue sky
It's shining down through the camphaloral leaves
As I walk the Channon,
I see the market people
The vibrant colours
And that's Tommee over there
Playing maracas
Feel as you move from side to side
You feel the rhythm of the night
Having a little drink at the beach and I’m feeling alright
And I always feel so good when I see you
I always feel so at home
You make me feel at home
And I know this will take us very far
To see you dancing underneath the stars
You know that you
Don’t need to hold
Onto who you think you are
Break the chains
That keep you bound
Let's go dancing to this sound
Sugar shake it shake it
You know you won’t break it
Look at me I’m feeling fine
I’m chasing only colours lit up by the night sky
It’s shining down on me
I feel this old
Old big old tree
Growing from the garden
How I cried when they chopped you down
How I always feel so sad when
I see the forest cut down
and burnt to the ground
and the sky isn't blue
like it used to
And I know this will take us very far
To see you dancing underneath the stars
You know that you
Don’t need to hold
Onto who you think you are
Break the chains
That keep you bound
Let's go dancing to this sound

The Light

The Light
Moving up
from the ground to the sky to the sea
Greens became greys
Black and the whites
Not so easy to see as
We question who we are
Earth springs life right from the start
But we’ve got to meet
Futures sons
With presence bold
Of righteous beliefs
Dignities told
Care for the truth
You’ve got to have values of gold
But constantly we see
Only a hand before the breath
But what is there to see
If we aint got nothing left
No I won’t be held to pay
It is the children of today
Who’ll live with the fate
Of what’s to come
And this world that’s always running
I saw you bring the light
Making a change ready to fight
For a future that is whole
Do what’s right within your soul
As the earthquakes thunder
And the waves suck us under
I laugh (hahahaha)
I’ve got my sunshine happy
Accessorized gadgets in my pocket
Don’t tell me no bad news
Cos I’ve got a faulty fuse
Burnt up it may be havoc
Wreaked upon this little planet
Chaotic meteor
Like a comet I will soar
To an end that’s bonafied
I’m going to stay alive
No I won’t be held to pay
It is the children of today
Who’ll live with the fate
Of what’s to come
And this world that’s always running
I saw you bring the light
Making a change ready to fight
For a future that is whole
Do what’s right within your soul
Think twice before you
Decide to damage something
For the loss and sorrow
It will be felt tomorrow x2
No I won’t be held to pay
For it is the children of today
Who’ll live with the fate
Of what’s to come
And this world that’s always running
I saw you bring the light
Making a change ready to fight
For a future that is whole
Do what’s right within your soul

Dynamo
I can’t say that I am sure
Of what,
I am missing with you girl,
This love,
This love ain’t seen no good
It’s seen the good
It’s laying dead
On the ground
Well I can give so good
When you walk my way
Although,
Though I can’t be so sure
That I am the one
To play your games
I’d prefer to walk away
And here we go
Full on it seems
And you,
Without you near
I guess I’ll wait
By the phone
For your call
Your call
Babado Babadey
To you I’m a game
Something to play
A trophie to win
Woah to you I’m a game
Something to play
Another Trophie to win
You’re just another Dynamo
And you
Like a loveless soul
You’re out of control
Like some dynamo
That never quite explodes
Ready to steal the show
Here I’m hanging low
Though you will never
Let me know
And here we go
Full on it seems
And you,
Without you near
I guess I’ll wait
By the phone
For your call
Your call
Babado Babadey
To you I’m a game
Something to play
A trophie to win
Woah to you I’m a game
Something to play
Another Trophie to win
You’re just another Dynamo

Talk of Love
Well I’m not scared to fall
Though with it comes the pain
And it’s that of which I am afraid
I feel the ease to wear
My heart upon my sleeve
Jasmine was uncaring
She wanted more than me
And whilst I worked
Into the night
Jasmine became
Mans delight
To my surprise
Waiting to find
The love I can’t deny
To receive in all the wonder
Not escape the love devine
In my time
Whats this talk of love
And are you really true to that?
For you could be a trap door
Waiting for a latch
You know that I don’t want to trip
And find that I can’t get up
Held only by the visions of you above
Be down, deep, damp in love
For what is love?
Over time I see the waves get higher
Thicker than before
Old habits break
So much harder
They’re slower to escape
And more hurtful as they fall
Waiting to find
The love I can’t deny
To receive in all the wonder
Not escape the love devine
In my time
Whats this talk of love
And are you really true to that?
For you could be a trap door
Waiting for a latch
You know that I don’t want to trip
And find that I can’t get up
Held only by the visions of you above
Be down, deep, damp in love
Feeling lonesome but I know it’s good
I’ll be patient waiting here for you
Whilst in limbo fill myself with love
For I’m a child here sent from up above
Sent from up above sent from up above

Dream Sailor
I dreamed I was a wise sailor
Sailing across the world to find
The other me
I saw him and I called out the window
‘Can you help me find my dream?’
‘Courage’ he said
‘Well it’s all you need.. just run and jump!
There’s a love for you indeed,
There is a love for you indeed,
There’s nothing you can’t do’
Then sailing into my mind..
‘Oh Jesse, I see you are living in me,
you have got to trust me you can be,
living in this world doing what you love’
‘But can we change?
Like really can we change?
I haven’t got time for these things!
I’ve got to be living a good life
That I’ve got the right to live.
I always feel like everybody’s
Putting me under pressure to live
Some kind of life that
they want me to live
I ain’t got money
Just a smile to give’
‘Then speak with me to my heart
and I will, part for you the sea
take my hand, walk with me,
walk with me’
‘Well I don’t know,
if I can grow the perfect way
of no insanity alone
I can’t live I can’t hide
I can’t eat I can’t sleep
I can’t know,
I feel I’m changing into something
And I can’t believe I’m blowing in the wind’
‘Yes these changes are blowing,
In the air that we all breathe
I can throw you a line
Be the sign of an angel
But life comes once
You’ve got to jump to
Catch your dream…
For only the courageous
Ever find their dream’
