Limbo (Words & Music Baxter Stone)
When I was a young boy
Sitting on my grandpa’s knee
He said grandson I realised
The day they shot Jack Kennedy
He said there are many roads
in life for you to travel
Some seem like heaven
and some seem like hell
But the roads you hate
the most are like perpetual limbo
Circling on highways going nowhere at all
Limbo la la da da da do
Well grandpa was a true man
A strong man in the union
He had tattoos under his sleeves yeah
He drank beer with handsome women
He said I don’t chase no rainbows
And I don’t like a pig headed boss
And I don’t like the judgements
Of narrow minded folks
And I don’t take the crap
That some people try to serve you
Freedom’s what you need grandson
Not heaven hell or limbo
Limbo la la da da da do
Stick it

Subdivided (Words & Music Baxter Stone)
The world is divided
And people multiplying
Then they subdivide with
Their telephones still dialing
There should be no loneliness
With so many people around
Going nowhere in a hurry
Feeding their minds with worry
Perhaps its best not
To believe everything your told
No qualifications
Needed for sensation
All across the nation
Contemplation
Heliocentric theory
Copernicus had it all figured it out
Going nowhere in a hurry
Feeding their minds with worry
Perhaps there’s one day you’ll
Believe that all you got is now
Budda had it all
He’d seen it all before
Contemplate the feeling
Knowing what’s it’s meaning
And lay his tender heart breaking
Bleeding all over the ground
Feeling high an low
Don’t matter which way you go
It’s all part of that open road
You got to seek it out
No qualifications
Needed for sensations
All across the nation
Contemplation
Heliocentric theory
Copernicus had it all figured it out
Going nowhere in a hurry
Feeding their minds with worry
Perhaps there’s one day you’ll
Believe that all you got is now
Everything you know
(all you got is now)
Will slip into a black hole
(all you got is now)
Slow down
The world is sub-divided
And people multiplying
Politics sub dividing
The world is sub-divided
And people multiplying
(all you got is now)
Politics sub dividing
(all you got is now)

Something Going Right (Words & Music Baxter Stone)
You don’t have to run fast
It’s not really a hard task
You don’t have to wear a mask
Or hide your troubles in a hip flask
For everything going wrong, something going right
For everything going wrong, something going right
For everything going wrong, something going right
Yeah something’s going right yeah something’s going right
Get off your high horse
Live your dream in your time machine
Parachuting down you pat a blood hound
Make a choice as you leap from lovers leap
For everything going wrong, something going right
For everything going wrong, something going right
For everything going wrong, something going right
Yeah something’s going right yeah something’s going right
For everything that’s going wrong something’s going right
Something going right, something’s going right
Climb a ship mast to see in the distance
Pick up the broken pieces and make a new start
Move a mountain and part the seas
But don’t go walking on the water just yet oh yeah
For everything that’s going wrong something’s going right
Something going right, something’s going right yeah
Move a mountain and part the sea
Don’t go walking on the water
Yeah don’t go walking on the water
Because today something’s going right
Yeah today something’s going right
Yeah today something’s going right
Yeah today something’s going right
Going right
Going right
Going right
Yeah today something’s going right

Into The Nowhere

Into The Nowhere (Words & Music Baxter Stone)
The head man had it coming
Been hitting us for days
And when the sky got cloudy
We swore
We’d run away
Head out into the desert
Stealing a four wheel drive
We drove for days
To find another life
Into the nowhere
Into the nowhere
This an’t nowhere
And then it didn’t rain
No water on any track
There’s nothing in the flask
No diesel in the tank
On those tall sandy dunes
Two lost soul jackaroos
Who wander round in circles and there our souls still are
Into the nowhere
Into the nowhere
This ain’t nowhere

Leap of Faith

Leap of Faith (Words & Music Baxter Stone)
In the future london underground
Nothing’s gonna keep it down
Its a fire, its a leap of faith
Its a diamond in a concealed place
What’s up with life is inside out
A real truth gets harder to define
You got nothing only self respect these days
Big society is just concept on page
Brash washing headlines repeat the modern lie
We watched the wheels fall off and the bus catch fire
I’d been a walking by this river for hours
I got to take the plunge and do it now
(Chorus)
Oh its a leap of faith
Oh its a leap of faith
Oh its a leap of faith
Oh its a leap of faith
Oh its a leap of faith
(Bridge)
Oh its a leap of faith
Oh its a leap of faith
Oh its a leap of faith
Oh its a leap of faith
(Chorus)
Oh its a leap of faith
Oh its a leap of faith
Oh its a leap of faith
Oh its a leap of faith
Oh its a leap of faith
If i could turn this whole thing around
Make right the things that are wrong with it now
We caught the bus that caught on fire
Got to make a jump and do it fast
Oh its a leap of faith
Oh its a leap of faith
Oh its a leap of faith
Oh its a leap of faith
Oh its a leap of faith

Those Men of Steam (Words & Music Baxter Stone)
Rambling men
And men of steam
Hitching rides
On a horse of iron
The music takes you
To another place and time
Well I once had a dog and her name was Rudi
She’d like to roll around in the clover
I’d flick the ball off the ground
And she like it when I throw it around
She’d like to kick that ball
Run around
Fridays nights outside the railway hotel
And there’s a band playing
Those good old time tunes
At the hotel with the old time blues
Well the head belly buzzards
They reigned surpreme
Echoing down that old railway line
Well we liked to play all night
Sing the blues
Play all night
And sing those old time tunes
‘Alright Headbellys’
Rambling men
And men of steam
Hitching rides
On a horse of iron
The music takes you
To another place and time
Well I once had a dog and her name was Rudi
She’d like to roll around in the clover
With the music would echoing down that railway line
Those men of steam and
Their horse of iron
Those men of steam and
Their horse of iron
Those men of steam and
Their horse of iron

Luna Girl (Words & Music Baxter Stone)
Hey luna girl with china hair
This sensation it unfolds
A trick of light ooh a trick of day
And a song that you don’t know it’s name
This sensation follows time
New sensations all the time
This sensation follows time
On any day in every way
On any day in every way
Another life falls free
Time is tethered dream
It contains walls and bridges
Feel it’s essence filling up the space
My my my
She’s my shiny luna girl
Shines all night
My shiny luna girl
Shines all night
My luminous girl
Shines all night
She’s my luminous girl
Hey luna girl with china hair
This sensation it unfolds
A trick of light ooh a trick of day
And a song that you don’t know it’s name
My my my
She’s my shiny luna girl
Shines all night
My luminous girl
My my my
She’s my shiny luna girl
My my my
She’s my shiny luna girl

You Don't Know Me

You Don’t Know Me (Words & Music Alun Lane)
Comes a time when words must be spoken
There’s a time to listen to your heart
If you think that i could go on pretending my love
Then you don’t know me you don’t know me very well at all
Age s shows and race us to an ending
Ages show the lines on your face
If you think that i was just a token my dear
Then you don’t know me you don’t know me very well at all
And do you know what your heart is seaching for
I’d give you mine but you’d only want it more
And if you think i’d give up it when the writings on the wall
Then you don’t know me you don’t know me very well at all
I said you don’t know me you don’t know me very well at all
Heaven knows the answer and solution
Heaven is the smile apon her face
If you think that i’d still run
When that power calls
Then you don’t know me you don’t know me very well at all
I said you don’t know me you don’t know me very well at all
I said you don’t know me you don’t know me very well at all
Well at all

The Day the Race Was Won (Words & Music Baxter Stone)
The winner is on the podium
The trophy shines in the sun
The crowd is cheering
The race has been won
Champagne over flows
That final lap was close
Amazed how the winner
Overcame his opponents
To be first past the post
On that day
On that day
The race was won
The competition is complete
and all bets are off
The compere has gone home
The cleaners clean up the dirt
I’m still pursuing my moment in the sun
My race is still going
I’ve hardly begun
On that day
On that day
The race was won
On the day the race was won
On the day the race was won
On the day the race was won
On the day the race was won
On the day it was won
I was lying in bed
On the day the race was run
I was looking at the sky
On the day the race was won
It all passed me passed me by
On the day
On the day
The race was won
Now my memory’s full
On this road I have traversed
I’m on an endeavor filled with
poetry and verse
Now my mission is complete
I did all the sums
Praying for salvation
When the day is done
On the day it was won
I was lying in bed
On the day the race was run
I was looking at the sky
On the day the race was won
It all passed me passed me by
On that day
On that day
Mmm the race was won

Slowburning
(Words & Music Baxter Stone & Alun Lane)
Seasons jumbled, season muddled
Time distorted in a bottle
I sense the dark surrounding you
Boilers steaming day dreaming
Infrared red a new
Indecision overwhelmed by choice
and persuasion
You feel in control
I sense the dark surrounding you
Boilers steaming day dreaming
Infrared red a new
Slowburn
Slowburn
Thank you father for I have sinned
It’s the state of the city spin
Can I bare my soul
In a slowburn
In a slowburn
I sense the dark surrounding you
Boilers steaming day dreaming
Infrared red a new
I sense the dark drowning you
Boilers steaming day dreaming
Infrared red a new
I sense the dark surrounding you
Boilers steaming day dreaming
Infrared red a new
I sense the dark drowning you
Boilers steaming day dreaming
Infrared red a new
In a slowburn
In a slowburn

Deep Deep Down (Words & Music Baxter Stone)
I was slinking around
Well I was wandering and fishing there
I was fishing for something but I wasn’t fishing for air
I was looking for comfort some little reassurance
Everything would be okay
Everything could be okay
Because I was
Da da da down
Feeling underground
Yeah
Da da da down
Feeling underground
Under the ground
Deep deep down
I waited for you
I was wondering what I should do
Should I write a letter or sing a song
Call you up on the telephone
Should I come around
Sit on your doorstep
Sing through your window
Till you took some notice
Took some notice
Da da da down
Feeling underground
Yeah
Da da da down
Feeling underground
Under the ground
Deep deep down
They don’t own any right
You can’t tell the stars to shine
Steal away with us tonight
To some forgotten paradise
Safe from a flame on that distant shore
It extinguishes and cries forward
And a sword upon the forge
And man who crafts that sword
To fight in some unfinished war
Bad luck sealed our fate
All down the line
We were struggling day to to day
Arguing the night away
Cos i was
Da da da down
Feeling underground
Yeah
Da da da down
Feeling underground
Under the ground
Deep deep down
Under the ground
Deep deep down
