What happened to 18?
(Evans)
Welcome to the way ahead
The time has come to shred that skin
There’s baggage on the roadside
Journey has begun
I’ve done my time
I’ve made amends
I’m talking to myself again
The road is straight and narrow
When you’ve left it all behind
And it’s
One road will lead to
One way will help me
Make the changes from the bottom to the top
I’m heeding all those warnings
I don’t want to end up going round and round in circles
It’s such a waste of time
I’m just moving with the flow
All the signs say go go go
So I’m heading for tomorrow
I’ve got movement on my mind
And it’s
One road will lead to
One way will help me
Make the changes from the bottom to the top
Gotta find myself a reason
Gotta get myself together
Gonna take whatever’s coming
That’s the way it should be
Welcome to the way ahead
The time has come for moving on
Destiny is out there
Beyond the great divide
I can’t wait
There’s much to learn
I’ve passed the point of no return
I don’t know where I’m going
But I know I’ll be on time
And it’s
One road will lead to
One way will help me
Make the changes from the bottom to the top

Falling
(Evans)
Got the car I want
From the company pool
Yeah I’m doing just fine
Got a new wife too
They say I have success
And I know by now I should be content
But I’m still waiting
For the main event
Who’ll catch me
Falling
You can live you lies
Bend the rules
But you’d best watch out
When it catches you
First love we were kids
But she sold herself
To the highest bid
Now her dreams are washed
Down the kitchen sink
Who’ll catch me
Falling
Learn to walk
Go to school
Get a job
Learn the rules
Meet the wife
Fool around
Make a will
Go to ground
Who’ll catch me
Falling
There’s a place I know
I remember well
It ain’t home sweet home
But it sure ain’t hell
One day when the coast is clear
Gonna pack my bags and get out of here
Hello Sun
Goodbye rain
No regrets, no more pain
And I won’t look back
I’ll just start again
Who’ll catch me
Falling

Honey
(Evans)
Wine and song, sadness laughter
Stories told, candles glow
Morning sun to chase the moonlight and
Honey come to me
Far away beyond the shadows
Gentle breeze, river flows
Eyes betray words unspoken and
Honey come to me
Calls my name
She takes my hand
And I never come down
I just swim in the clouds flowing free
Wine song sadness laughter
Honey be there if you could
When her darkness needs the light
Honey comes to me
Honey comes to me

In your Shadow
(Evans)
How you fly
How you swoon
You are touched, the perfect one
You’re beautiful
You’re divine
Diamond cool
There’s nobody else who does it
Quite like you
With your smile you’re the perfect escape
You feed our senses
And we swallow
Oh but it’s hard to forget
It’s so cold here
In your shadow
All that shines
Shines on you
You’re the one we know
Can make our dreams come true
And you’re always there to show us the way
You make the changes , and we follow
Oh you’re so perfect and yet
It’s cold here
I’m so alone here
In your shadow
You lead a wonderful life I’m sure
As you keep on reminding us all
With your pose and your style and your grace
You’re the saviour
Of the whole human race
And the camera whirls
And you’re there in the next glossy page
And your wisdom spews out
From up high in your own gilded cage
With your head in the clouds it’s a wonderful view
But you’re only as good
As your last photo shoot
I just wish you’d fuck off
Go now, get out of my face
And I try to escape but I keep getting caught
I want to escape but I keep getting caught
I just have to escape but I keep getting caught
In your shadow
In your shadow
In your shadow

The Hog
(Evans)
There’s a virus in your system
There is something going wrong
There’s a curse upon your logic
There is voodoo in your heart
Feel the poison running through you
Feel it creep into your soul
See me perched upon your nightmare
Know my name
I am
The Hog
I have crawled up from the sewers
I have left where I belong
Now my misery is infectious
Where I go it catches on
I will decompose your spirit
Hang it’s carcass on the wall
Then I’ll suck on the remains
Until it’s rotten to the core
I am
The Hog
I am selfish beyond reason
I’m a vagrant, liar, a whore
I am dirty, vile deceitful
Don’t believe a word I grunt
I’m a weak willed yellow belly
I’m a useless little cunt
I am
The Hog

Josephine
(Evans)
You looked like a princess
When I met you that night
I’ll never forget
The smile in your eyes
Stars lit the sky
I was lost in a dream
When the wonder of you
Met the wonder of me
When you hear the soft wind whisper
That’s my heart calling you
Josephine
This must be destiny
Reaching out
Before time passes by
I’m counting on you
Make it true
Josephine
Do you like kisses
Tender and light?
Could you believe
In a love at first sight?
Does part of you yearn
For journeys unknown?
Where are you now
Are you there all alone?
Could it be in your quietest moments
You might think of me?
Josephine
You are a mystery
Where is the key to your heart?
Give me a clue
Let me love you
Josephine
If we were together
Bad news lousy weather
Would just pass us by
In the blink of an eye
We’d sail upon an ocean
Of laughter and devotion
I’d never make you cry
Josephine
Maybe you’ll never know
The light you shone on my heart
I know I’m a fool
But to me, you’ll always be
My Josephine

Free
(Evans)
Well the first thing you know
You’re alive but you wish you were dead
You’re picking at the worms
As they crawl through a hole in your head
Whats the matter boy
Did the cat bite your tongue
Did you think it was over when it’s only just begun
Gotta shoot straight
Gotta put in the time
Shoot at any chance
You’ve gotta lay it on the line
Your stuck in this madness day after day
And you twist and you squirm
But you never get away
Hold on tight boy when your day comes
I believe, I believe
And I’m not the only one
You were meant to be free
You were meant to be free
Well, you’re a big talking man you’ve got plans
But they’re all going down
It’s a one way trip it’s goodbye
And there’s no turning round
You’re running out of time
Karma’s in your bones
Your standing in the field where the Grapes of Wrath are sown
And all that you hate
And all you despise
Is coming back to get you
Gonna take you from behind
You’re blood’s on the boil, your body starts to shake
It’s the time of redemption
Time to meet your fate
White light meltdown explosion in your head
I believe I believe
That you’re better off dead
You were meant to be free
You were meant to be free

Lonely Tears
(Evans)
The last time that I saw her
She was standing by the door
Chewing gum stuck in her ears
Goodbye for ever more
I tried to talk it over
But she would’t hear
I just turned and walked away
And cried those lonely tears
Lonely tears
To mourn the flower
That’s died and gone to seed
Lonely tears
To fill the heartache
That washes over me
Lonely tears
There’s not much to remember
With the passing of the years
Her words have all gone silent now
Her face has disappeared
But the loneliness still haunts me
I’m cursed for life I fear
At night I kneel and ask the Lord to stop those
Lonely tears
Lonely tears
To mourn the flower
That’s died and gone to seed
Lonely tears
To fill the heartache
That washes over me
Lonely tears
Don’t you worry I’ll be fine
It’s just a little part of me that’s dying
Every time I cry those
Lonely tears
Lonely tears
To mourn the flower
That’s died and gone to seed
Lonely tears
To fill the heartache
That washes over me
Lonely tears
Lonely, lonely tears
