Blew on My Harmonica My Life was turned around

Inspiration can come from anywhere

Inspiration can come from anywhere
But it’s best when it comes from the ones you care about
Woke Up this Morning Feeling Kinda Strange

Give up and Die
Life can be short, Life can be Long, We can be Right, We can be wrong.
We must stand tall we must be strong. Making a path thru our lives.
Happiness comes like the words of a song, one day it’s here the next it is gone.
Against all the odds we still carry on. Making a path thru our lives.
And we don’t need a prayer and we don’t need a prophet.
Don’t need a song ‘cos we’re already singing it.
We carry on, do the best that we can, or else we might give up and Die.
We get one chance to live life in style,
What makes you cry will one day make you smile.
So Gimme an inch and I’ll take you a mile, Making our path thru our lives.
All that we see, All that we own, All a result of the seeds we have sown.
So don’t dwell upon all the chances we’ve blown. Making a path thru our lives.
You can be calm, you can be wild, under the category you have been filed.
I see it all thru the eyes of a child, Making a path thru our lives.
Life can be sweet, life can be sour,
From the moment you’re born until your final hour.
What doesn’t kill you can fill you with power. Making a path thru our lives.
We got a Life - So now we’re living it.
We got a Gift - So now we’re giving it.
We got a Song - So now we’re singing it.
We got a Chance - So now we’re taking it.
We got a Heart - So don’t go breaking it.
We got a Dream - So now we’re making it REAL

Know What I Like
E G Am C x3 D EE E7 E
Am G
There was a big bright moon up a sitting in the sky last night,
And all the stars were a shining and they looked so pretty and bright.
But it was cold don’t you know and the wind was blowing high,
Howling round the void inside my mind.
Chorus
Em D
Well I don’t have a hope in hell if I listen to you.
And I can’t clean up all this mess no matter what I do.
Em G Am C
But I know what I want and I know what I like,
I know what to say, it just never sounds right.
Em G Am C D
I know what I, Know what I, Know what I want in my Life.
Well the sky looked clear when I opened my eyes today.
My head was a humming but I didn’t have a word to say.
Then the clouds came down and they turned my sky to grey.
I’ve lost and the cost is I’m never gonna find my way.
Chorus
I was all revved up I was waiting for the word to go.
In my heart, in my head I was ready for to start the show.
Well the reasons to the rhymes and their crimes are all I know.
I may slip, lose my grip but I’m never ever gonna let go.

Murka
Dm Am
From the Mountains up North of the Border is where she came.
In the streets of my town there was no-one who knew of her name.
G Am
In the alleys and bars and the clubs was where she made her fame.
And ‘twas I brought her into the gang. Forever My shame.
C Dm
Murka your eyes like the starlit skies,
E Am
Entered my heart like a poison tipped dart,
C E Am
My Pistol, My Soul I give for You My Love.
Fourteen long weeks we had watched, we had studied and planned.
The taking of the First National Bank. Boys the haul will be grand.
How could I know when we stepped out on that fateful day.
That My friends and My brothers, My Love. Murka would Betray
The Getaway car it didn’t get far,
Outside the Bank with a hole in the tank
A Thankyou gift from you to me my Love.
She tipped off the Cops so the ambush was Neatly prepared.
When the Boys tried to run into 50 gun barrels they stared.
They were cut to the ground as every last cop’s muzzle flared.
My Loyalty in question, The Damage obliged to repair
We’ll meet one last time and you’ll pay for your crime.
Out in the dark of the moonlit park.
With a Bullet for You My Love

Pan's Genesis

Pan’s Genesis - Elizabeth Barrett Browning
What was he doing, the great god Pan,
Down in the reeds by the river?
Spreading ruin and scattering ban,
Down in the reeds by the river?
Splashing the surf with the hoofs of a goat,
Breaking the golden lilies afloat
With the dragon-fly on the river.
He tore out a reed, the great god Pan,
From the deep cool bed of the river
The raging water turbidly ran,
From the deep cool bed of the river
Broken lilies a-dying lay,
The dragon-fly had fled away,
Ere he brought it out from the river.
High on the shore sat the great god Pan
While turbidly flowed the river
He hacked and He hewed as a great god can
While turbidly flowed the river
His hard bleak steel at the patient reed
Till there was no sign of leaf indeed
To prove it fresh from the river.
He cut it short, did the great god Pan,
How tall it stood in the river
Then drew the pith, like the heart of man
How tall He stood in the river
Steadily from the outside ring,
He notched the poor dry empty thing
In holes, as he sat by the river.
'This is the way' laughed the great god Pan
Laughed as he sat by the river
'The only way, since gods began”
He Laughed as he sat by the river
To make sweet music, would succeed
Dropping his mouth to a hole in the reed
He blew in the power of the river.
Sweet, sweet, sweet, O Pan
Piercing sweet by the river
Blindingly sweet, O great god Pan
Piercing sweet by the river
The sun on the hill forgot to die,
The lilies revived, and the dragon-fly
Came back to dream on the river.
Yet half a beast is the great god Pan,
He laughs as he sits by the river
Making a poet of many a man
To laugh as he sits by the river
The true god sighs for the cost and the pain
For the reed which na’er shall grow again
As a reed with the reeds in the river.

You got all the Love
OK here goes Episode 1 aren’t you the baby with the gun?
Your looks don’t kill they merely stun so I can’t run away.
Now you’re the focus of my dreams I see your face behind the scenes,
Hear my voice above the screams begging you to stay.
Well I would gladly sell my soul for your skin of pearl and heart of gold,
Your long dark hair as black as coal that falls on me like rain.
Chorus
A million miles away I Love You
Buried Underground I Love You
In a ball of flame I burn for you.
High above the stars I Love You
Deep beneath the sea I Love You
Across the broken years I yearn for you.
Episode 2 I guess it’s true the feelings that I feel for you,
The razor blade that slices through the fabric of my mind.
Run naked through the flames again, no emotion, feel no pain,
Feel the pleasure that I strain to give only to you.
As clouds of smoke begin to clear if only I could have you here,
I’d never wish another wish as long as I live
Chorus
Fill my lungs with mustard gas, Walk 1000 miles over broken glass
In clothes woven from razor wire, Can’t calm my desire.
Swim acid lakes and shark filled seas ‘til bones show thru my bleeding knees
Grind every bone to a powdered dust, Can’t temper my lust.
Hunt Me down in Episode 3 Got your radar homing in on me,
I can’t beat your technology no matter how I try.
At last I’ll meet my Nemesis never thought it could get as good as this,
Hanging onto the precipice, what a way to die.
Now you’re standing over my body and your Glock is pointing down at me,
Put me out of my misery, OK you win the game.
But then you bend real low and ease my fear, whisper softly in my ear,
“Don’t worry your pretty head my dear because I feel the same”
Chorus
Hands Around my neck, Your Knife into my gut,
You’ve been inside my head, Brought me back from dead,
Rope around my legs, Your boot upon my chest,
Across the seas of time, Beyond the great divide,
You got all the love to see me thru.
