Can you hear me? Listen brother I just need a friend I don’t want to come on strong but this is who I am. Verse 1 Sometimes I feel I’m losing my mind I may be intense or out of line If you hear me sounding crazy? I don’t want to frighten you or anyone away I only want to tell you – listen to me say Chorus I – I just need a friend who’ll hear and Take some time to understand me Without being my judge and jury You might think I’m going crazy but you don’t say it Thank you Thank you I don’t want to come on strong but this is where I am. Verse 2 Sometimes I know I’m out of control One minute I’m laughing then baring my soul Can you hear me? Please hear me! I don’t want to worry you or scare you away I only want to reach you – and hold on Chorus 2 I – I just need a friend who’ll hear and Take some time to understand me Without being my judge and jury And oh – Whichever way this ends I thank you If there’s some way to reassure you I don’t mean to put upon you You might think I’m going crazy but you don’t say it Thank you Thank you Outro Sometimes – I’m losing it. Sometimes – I’m laughing Sometimes – I’m out of control – Always - I miss my old life Can you hear me? Listen sister I just need a friend I don’t want to come on strong but please, please hold my hand Can you hear me? Listen brother I just need a friend I don’t want to come on strong but this is where I am

To love and be loved To love and be loved What more do you want? That’s the top and bottom of it What more could you need? Verse 1 Dreams, dreams get in the way sometimes It’s hard enough find your way With both eyes open Some people want fame & fortune A way to make their mark They think they need a bigger picture A greater story ark Verse 2 Here, simply in the present We can see through all the smoke Find our horizon And if you still think something’s missing You can’t find the spark You need to see the light of reason That’s burning in your heart Chorus Verse 3 Home, with the wolf from the door I can sort out all the noise And hear the message Some people want fame & fortune A way to make their mark They think they need a bigger picture A greater story ark Chorus Chorus repeat

I’ve been working, wall-to-wall working But now I have to make some time to change my point of view Outlook is cloudy when it should have been fine I can’t keep saying “never mind” Because I was never mindful I was never there I knew that you were with me Now you’re not there And oh, we all need love No-one can live a life alone And how is it ever meant to be this way? This endless, friendless feeling When will my soul start healing? How do you face up to reality when it all seems so unreal? I always saw our future differently That you’d always be with me You would understand But you couldn’t wait forever And now your gone I know we all need love And you, you couldn’t live your life alone – that’s how it felt And how you saw it all so clear Not waiting anymore Love walking out the door Outlook is cloudy when it should have been fine I can’t keep on saying “oh well, never mind” This time next week, maybe, I will be flying But I can’t get away so easily I know we all need love And I can’t live my life alone And how, how is it ever meant to be this way? This endless, friendless feeling When will my soul start healing? Can’t staunch it anymore Love pouring on the floor

We sit together holding hands talking about the shortcomings of our friends When we really should know better You – well you can tell a story too but you never tell me how you feel When I really should know better And I – I’m no-one to criticise, and it wouldn’t be telling lies To say we really should know better I wouldn’t want you to think I’ve given up Maybe it’s time to look at us Chorus We really should know better We really should know better now As Verse Take some time to think it over stand your ground and have your say And me with my head in my hands, why can’t I make you understand That we really should know better I wouldn’t want you to think I’ve given up Maybe it’s time to look at us Chorus We really should know better We really should know better now I wouldn’t want you to think I’ve given up Maybe its time to look at us Chorus We really should know better We really should know better now As Verse Take some time to think it over stand your ground and have your say Chorus We really should know better We really should know better now

Sugar Coated 03:35
We sail so close to the wind At any time, at any time we might fall in You seem, you seem to be saying We’ve come so far We can’t go back but something’s changed Whenever you start my heart skips a beat I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to see I want it Chorus Sugar coated, dipped in honey Wrapped in ribbon Leave me a lie to believe We talk of the future and the vision grows But in your eyes there’s another story; the ending shows From temper to tender, you seem to be torn We’ve come this far We can’t let go but we can’t go on I give you it all, I give what you need But then when I call and you won’t speak Please say something, please say something deep And meaningful And sweet Chorus Sugar coated, dipped in honey Wrapped in ribbon Leave me a lie to believe I can’t help it if I need it Sugar coated Leave me a lie to believe Sugar coated Sugar coated Sugar coated Sugar coated

Can’t come back if you’ve never been there, You can’t come back if you’ve never been there You can’t come back if you’ve never been away Can’t come back if you’ve never been there, You can’t come back if you’ve never been there You can’t come back if you’ve never been away Can’t come back Can’t come back Can’t come back Can’t come back Can’t come back If you’ve never been away Can’t come back Can’t come back Can’t come back Can’t come back Can’t come back If you’ve never been away Can’t come back Can’t come back Can’t come back Can’t come back Can’t come back If you’ve never been away Middle 8 I’ve been waiting here all of this time while you’ve been everywhere The sweet smell of success drifting over; lingering, lingering in the air Can’t come back Etc.

about

In September 2019 my 19 year old son Joel, was diagnosed with Glioblastoma. This is the most aggressive and lethal of all brain cancers. To help prolong his life, the best option for Joel is to receive a pioneering new treatment, as quickly as possible. The treatment is in the form of a personalised vaccine manufactured from Joel’s own tumour tissue, but it is very expensive. All income from the sale of this EP will contribute towards crowdfunding for Joel’s treatment.

The aim is to help Joel live longer.

Information about Joel’s story and the fundraising campaign can be found at:
