She’s got me feeling Like a horn with no blow Like a book with no meaning Like ice-cream for crow I tried to read her Her smoke lined sage I wet my finger But I can’t turn her page Rose-maiden meanings Cuttlefish bones Silent and seething This lonely soul Well I’ve never felt so heavy before I’ve never swam so far from the shore She’s got me feeling Like I’m stuck back stage I hear all the cheering Her love’s all the rage I’ve weathered her treason through blind-eyed light Her crow flies so freely The darker the night Well I’ve never felt so heavy before I’ve never swam so far from the shore

Baby I’ve got a feeling that I don’t understand So my words get caught up like rainwater in a can Hold on Baby please ‘cause some times those feelings are hard to express But when I finally show you them you’ll sleep the deepest rest Hold on Baby please, hold on Those long curves have long been on my mind And that moon-shadowed whisperin’ just lights me up on fire Hold on Oh baby please You’re a strong kind of woman and it makes me so proud You stand up to my hardness, you ain’t nobody’s child Hold on Baby please, hold on Well sometimes I’m happy And sometimes I’m sad But I’m sure gonna love you Like nobody ever has Hold on Baby please hold on

You’ve never seen such a circus as this All gimmicks and tricks no talent Piss in the snow and call it gold For all they know its a show You give up your love for that sorry dog He’s drooled for a scrap for so long now I’ll tell you one time but never again You feed him a crumb and the dog will be dead Elephant painting No I can’t take it Elephant painting No i won’t take it The story of man is written in walls Built up like kindling for fire and war Its the same old story that he never learns Beyond a man’s needs is a fire for sure (c) Antony Ablan 2010

American Man 04:32
Hey boys you wanna be like me, now? Freedom ain’t free you got to steal like a thief Ain’t ever been a man to finish last Free my soul? Got no time for that. Some devil got to shovel coal never been a good man Fear’s your friend, that’s the same as a fact now God, hate, guns, pills and not fitting in, well A scared mind is like a lump of clay Make it what you want then toss it away some devil got to shovel coal Ain’t ever been a good man American Man American Man Well, you’re gonna need something sweet by your side A real honey dripper that don’t mind lies Get yourself somethin’ll know her place And feed you lies, like cheese in a rat race Twisted sister got to feed my bones Ain’t ever been good man American Man American Man Hey little boy why you hanging your head down? Awe, here’s a little secret that’ll turn you around If you keep enough hate inside All the pain you feel will get swallowed by pride If you keep enough hate inside All the pain you’ll feel

Just a Boy 03:46
Just a Boy I got my reasons I got my doubts I’ve got no sense in leaving You’ve been so good But I’m just a boy No matter what I had you believing I’ve been worrying for so long I’ve been worrying for so long I’ve never known A heart like yours I’ve been used to the bleeding You opened your arms Closed your eyes You gave me all you believe in Chorus I got no reason I got no pride I’ve got no one to hold me tonight (c) Antony Ablan 2010

Gypsy Crow She’s got me feeling Like a horn with no blow Like a book with no meaning Like ice-cream for crow I tried to read her Her smoke lined sage I wet my finger But I can’t turn her page Rose-maiden meanings Cuttlefish bones Silent and seething This lonely soul Well I’ve never felt so heavy before I’ve never swam so far from the shore She’s got me feeling Like I’m stuck back stage I hear all the cheering Her love’s all the rage I’ve weathered her treason through blind-eyed light Her crow flies so freely The darker the night Chorus I did time on my knees For various crimes Forgave the raging moon For stealing my pride Reflected on oceans Of measure and rhyme She’s taken so freely What I thought was mine Chorus (c) Antony Ablan 2010
