It'll Be Allright
i met God today....
the little boy with tears
in his eyes, lost
in the grocery store....
i took his hand and
walked him to the front...
he looked up, and said:
'it'll be allright! '
i met God today...
the old man across the
street trying to load
his old truck....
i stopped mowing and
went over to help him...
boxes and bags, everything
he owned...
'got anywhere to go? '
'it'll be allright! '
i met God today....
young crack whore
stopped by work....
'got anything i can do
to make a few bucks...
i mean, anything....'
i reached into my pocket
and pulled out a ten....
'you get to where you
want some help...
need someone to talk to...'
'it'll be allright! '
i met God today...
standing by an open grave....
He looked at me as if to
ask if i was ready.....
i looked over at the headstone...
and read... 'it'll be allright! '

D-dig (x3)
D-dig y'all
(repeat)
What I am
what I am getting older
what I need is a man by my shoulder
what I am
what you are
alright I'm sick of your lying there
Look at me
look at me growing colder
everyday
I get a little bolder
what I am
what you are
allright I'm sick of your lying there
And when you lie there
why must I lie there
(repeat)
(repeat D-Dig)
Why am I
why am I feeling stronger
now the days
and the nights getting longer
what I am
what you are
allright I'm sick of your lying there
And when you lie there
why must I lie there
(repeat x4)
Get on the microphone surround with truth
But I try to survive in a whore's dress
something I'm getting out there keeps me god-blessed
my mother told me
priest just told me
too fast and you'll spend your whole life paying out
my brother's getting sicker sicker
while my pretty sister sits there
bitchin about her figure
time to move and get away
get away and open up to your freedom today
And when you lie there
why must I lie there
(repeat X10)
D-Dig y'all

I Cant Stand It
(reed)
Before being a man
Livin in a garbage pail
My landlady call me up
She tried to hit me with a mop
I cant stand it anymore more
I cant stand it anymore more
I cant stand it anymore more
But if shelly she would just come back
Itll be allright
But if shelly she would just come back
Itll be allright
I live with thirteen dead cats
A purple who hear spats
Theyre all livin in a hall
And I cant stand it anymore
I cant stand it anymore more
I cant stand it anymore more
I cant stand it anymore more
But if shelly she would just come back
Itll be allright
But if shelly she would just come back
Itll be allright
Before being a man
Livin in a garbage pail
My landlady call me up
She tried to hit me with a mop
I cant stand it anymore more
I cant stand it anymore more
I cant stand it anymore more
But if shelly she would just come back
Itll be allright
But if shelly she would just come back
Itll be allright
Be allright, be allright....

Images of yesterday...
Things aren't allright, i'm not really fine.
Said a thousand times over and over...
I'm not ok, not allright...
But who listens anyway.
You took my dream away.
Moments we live in, moments of now... so quikly pass to fractions of memories.
That wich was then, felt like now... and now feels like never.
Life moves on they say, and so it does.
But my heart stands still ever since that day.
Images of then, hunting through my today.
Pictures complete... but without me.
I've never felt pain going so deep.
Reminding me i feel so weak.
In my mind things are undone.
We are back where we belong.
No more lifes apart but hearts as one.
In my mind... all tears are gone.

Can walk a miracle mile
Hell point you out and hell pull you in

Want to drag him way down
Hes so straight ahead, hell blow

And what you get you wont regret

Ooh hes a rebel, written up in the
Lambs book of life
And therell be no escape because
The stage has been set for a while
If he comes your way, hell make you

If he comes your way hell make you

Loved before

Rock & Roll
(reed)
Jenny said when she was just five years old
There was nothing happening at all
Every time she puts on a radio
There was a nothin goin down at all, not at all
Then one fine mornin she puts on a new york station
You know, she couldnt believe what she heard at all
She started dancin to that fine fine music
You know her life was saved by rock n roll
Despite all the amputations you know you could just go out
And dance to a rock n roll station
It was alright
It was allright
Hey baby you know it was allright
Jenny said when she was just by five years old
You know y parents gonna be the death of us all
Two tv sets and two cadillac cars -
Well you know it aint gonna help me at all
Then one fine mornin she turnss on a new york station
She doesnt believe what she hears at all
Ooh, she started dancin to that fine fine music
You know her life is saved by rock n roll,
Despite all the computations
You could just dance to a rock n roll station
And baby it was allright
And it was alright
Hey it was allright
Hey here she comes now!
Jump! jump!
It was allright

Today
Today we looked at the crazy streets
rushing to get through the end of the week
I stopped to smell the flowers in the air
I often wonder if anyone cares?
Today I will not let anyone get to me.
The one thing that make me strong is that I believe.
Today I looked at the crazy streets
Rushing to get to the end of the week...
Today I will finish
and tomorrow I will complete..............

I thought youd listen to my reasoning
But now I see, you dont hear a thing
Tried to make you see how its gotta be
Well its allright

Things could work out just like I want them to, yeah
If I could have the other half of you
Yes you know I would if I only could

I aint telling no lies, so dont you sit there and cry, mama yeah

Today! !
Today the sun was shine less
Today the moon was mood less
Today the birds were wing less
Today as the sun rose, they told me
Today as I woke
They told me
Last night I’ve lost my voice they echoed me
Today the mountains are height less
Today the clock was time less
Today the sky was wind less
Today my hands were workless
Today as the sun boiled, they told me
Today as I spoiled
They told me
Last morning I’ve lost my hands they assured me
Today the world was sightless
Today the room was lightless
Today the voices were figureless
Today my eyes were imageless
Today as the night dived, they told me
Today as I defined
They told me
Last afternoon I’ve lost my eyes they cursed me
Today the era was soundless
Today the room was noise less
Today the things were strike less
Today my ears were voice less
Today as the dawn fell, they told me
Today as I felt
They told me
Last evening I’ve lost my ears they pitted me
Last night I was voiceless
Last night I was hand less
Last night I was eyes less
Last night I was ears less
And now today I feel
That they’ll tell me
That I’ve lost, they’ll yell me
Lost a heartbeat
And now is grave less
Left in open far godless
Unmentioned they say expressionless.

80 Days
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth)
Staring down from this high window
At the faces in the line
Cold from hours of waiting
How many people can you love?
When youre black and blue with bruises
From collisions on the road
The friction grind of traveling
This is the never ending show
All over the world in eighty days
Head in a blur of information
What kind of a man could live this way
I do what I can
I do ok
But right now
All I want to do is
Get real
If thats allright with you
Woke up last night under the mountains
Driving from zurich to milan
I lay there listening to the echos
Thinking of iceland and japan
So many smiles
So many faces
And my home so far away
I lose some of me in all these places
And I cant help the way Im changed
All over the world in eighty days
Memories turn like magazine pages
What kind of a man could live this way
I do what I can
But I cant escape it
Right now
All I want to do
Is get real
If thats allright with you
Right now
All I want to do
Somehow
Be myself with you
All over the world in eighty days
Alcohol haze of information
What kind of a man could live this way
As long as I have
And stay the same
Right now
All I want to do is
Get real
If thats allright with you
Right now
All I want to do
Get real
If thats allright with you
For just one night with you
Get real somehow

Feel The Way
I'm up and I'm allright
Push on with all my might
Got to find a way to get away today
Because I am the man
What?
I am the man
What?
Who's the man
Try to front like you want to try and understand
But you don't know man
Through the times that we shared
I know that you care
And I know you
And I'll go where you want to go cause I feel this way
And I care what you got to say cause I feel this way
So I stepped up and I said I just don't understand
He said just come and check it out man
I'm up and I feel fine
I won't drop till I get mine
I got to find a way to get away today
Because I am the man
What?
I am the man
What?
Who's the man?
Try to front like you want to try to understand
But you don't know man
Through the times that we shared
You know that I care
Cause I know you
Here we go

Tonight, Not Again
The night.
She brushed her hands upon my flushed cheek
Smelled of childhood remnants of a dusty weeping willow
Clouds soothe, shredded by the calico
Were oh so vast and quick as I was on my own now.
This time like every other time I believe that I never find
Another sweet little girl with sequined sea foam eyes
Ocean lapping voice smile coy as the brightest quiet span of sky
And Im all alone again tonight not again, not again, not again.
And dont it feel allright. and dont it feel so nice. lovely.
Still Im unable to inhale all the riches
As Im awkward as a wound on my bones
Still Ive got cobblestone joints and plate glass points
As Im all by myself tonight not again not againe
And dont it feel allright. and dont it feel so nice. lovely.
Well if you should nervously break down
When its time for the shakedown would you take it
Its when you cry just a little but you laugh in the middle that youve made it
And dont it feel allright. and dont it feel so nice.
Lovely.
Say it again. lovely. so lovely. to do it again
Again. loving again. its coming again.
Lovely.

The Night
Back on the mic I got the sound
Holding you down, down to the ground
Speaking the melody
Who out there got the skills to test me?
I've been here for far too long
It's time to break out
It's time to be strong
Beats going crazy inside my head
Everything's allright
Here comes the night
Chorus:
All my friends are talking to me
What's this love I see
I know you can make it right
I'm still waiting now
Waiting for the love I need
If you want me too
There's something don't understand
I don't know
Don't be afraid, it's just my work
Comin' up bringing the words
Soon I'll have ya movin' in time
It ain't my fault, just the lyrics that rhyme
As I chop, change, rearrange
Choose and refuse, cause of fame
Gonna getcha hot like a burning flame
Everything's allright
Here comes the night

Everybody knows
Everybody knows there's a dream that makes us all feel good
Well I haven't had it for some time
I believe that it was something about love
But I cannot see the details anymore
Tell us 'bout your dream and the million things that you go and see
That I gotta say you've done allright
By the measures of society today
And I guess that's what you wanted anyway
Everybody's got it all

Today...
Today, the leaves were greener
Today, the sky wasn’t grey
Today, the sun was brighter
Yes, it changed today
Today, people transformed
Today, they weren’t rude
Today, I felt loved
All just today, it’s true
Today, I lived for today
Today, was not for the future
Today, was a great day
Not menial, tiring, brutal
Today, I laughed in silence
Today didn’t make me cry
Today, everything became clearer
But, today, I couldn’t figure out why
And today, if everything changed
And today, if it wasn’t a dream
I don’t know what happened
But today will become everyday, it seems.
