My Daddy taught me how to dance and Mumma how to swing But only through my solitude did I learn how to sing And through the years I'd come of age and meet you on the stage The drumbeat to the back of me I never could let fade The boy becoming man I see, the never ending noise Desperation, misery, he played with them like toys Moments of a fleeting kind would leave him in a daze Tones push back the mist, he finds clairvoyance through the haze You're home free, no silence in sanctuary You're home free, through the tones that sound beside me The tunes I've come to know so well and hold between my ears That even through my darkest hours would send off all my fears A longer road I'd never wish for anything but this The tune that rocks, the bass on top now dance away the bliss You're home free, no silence in sanctuary You're home free, through the tones that sound beside me Until we breakdown You're home free, no silence in sanctuary You're home free, through the tones that sound beside me You're home free, no silence in sanctuary You're home free, through the tones that sound beside me

The Forest 03:18
You'll be sent to the forest as a slave Where mind and body misbehave Deprived of innocence you crave. Your knees will bend to the crack of a whip You'll set your mind but it won't stick Prepare yourself to soon submit. You're trying oh so hard, to fix your coarsing veins But then the virus came, and with it the migraine You dont know where to start, you've never felt the same A jury of your peers, have found you guilty soul You'll be sent to the forest as a slave Where mind and body misbehave Deprived of innocence you crave. Your knees will bend to the crack of a whip You'll set your mind but it won't stick Prepare yourself to soon submit. You drag the ball and chain, you're shuffling ahead Your muscles ache all day, as if they're made of lead Afflicted by a blood sucking parasite A vampire, that's bitten me, yeah! You'll be sent to the forest as a slave Where mind and body misbehave Deprived of innocence you crave. Your knees will bend to the crack of a whip You'll set your mind but it won't stick Prepare yourself to soon submit. Which ways left and which ways right This blaze I'm in is out of sight Noone can relinquish me of blight. The leaves are green and razor sharp Harmonic winds ring like a harp Months between the finish and the start The finish and the start.

Alright! Policeman, policeman, what are you doing Tryin'a put me in jail, and leave me in ruin Policeman, policeman, why do you cry? Is it jealousy reaping 'cos ya can't get high? Policeman, policeman, how do you feel? When little boys are thrown in jail no chance of appeal? Policeman, policeman, just save me from fun It's day of the triffids so you'd better run, yeah! Policeman, policeman, five leaves you can't have You take them from everyone but you don't feel bad Policeman, policeman unsheathe your gun You point it at me cos I'm, having fun Policeman, policeman just save me from pain I don't need saving from the herb plane Policeman, policeman just save me from fun It's day of the triffids so you'd better run Policeman, policeman, it gets so cold When you try to find possessions that I do not hold Policeman, policeman, is it so wrong? Is it breaking the law just to sing this song? Policeman, policeman, the herbs don't bite But if you take them from us then we just might Policeman, policeman, just save me from fun It's day of the triffids so you'd better run, yeah! You better run alright You better run, you better run and run, far away! Policeman yeah Policeman yeah Policeman yeah! Policeman, policeman, alright yeah!

Breeze 04:15
You feel so tall and by yourself Don't get along with no one else Feel your crown it hurts your head. You've tried to stop this feeling blue There isn't much that you can do Never listened to what your mother said. A breeze is sweeping, behind your eyes There's no escaping this, it's here for life So take these pills, and hope they make you happy. Looking back to change a few things And time heals would but not everything Never listened to what your doctor said. You feel so you, so much to do Only feel sixteen but turning twenty two Lay to rest child, and go to bed. A breeze is sweeping, behind your eyes There's no escaping this, it's here for life So take these pills, and hope they make you happy. When all you do is fail And no one knows you're unwell And you cannot explain How pills can help to ease the pain, yeah! A breeze is sweeping, behind your eyes There's no escaping this, it's here for life So take these pills, and hope they make you happy. Yeah!
