Lyrics
Arnos Groove
You can take the horse to the water, you can’t make it drink
It’s the lamb to the slaughter, or a feast for a Queen
See I’m ‘a show you how to do your own thang...
Arnos Groove, with you and your crew
Be true to you
Arnos Groove,
It’s a hot new movement see you gotta, get with it!
Influences are old but this sounds so fresh that it’s almost cold
It’s like I’m building dominions to house music lovers within them
See it’s time to take it home, to give freedom to my soul.
Arnos Groove, voodoo, do you!
Be true to you
Arnos Groove
This is the incredible dream with the help of so many.
The love that circulates tonight is so overwhelming, it shines so bright
We basque in the thought of giving this to you
Arnos Groove, with you and your crew
Be true to you
Arnos Groove,

Be My Angel
Whisper at me, what ‘you saying baby?
Comfort me, be my one and only
Rescue me, oh when it gets stormy,
Be My Angel
Where were you when the old man died?
Did you answer your kids when they see the hurt in your eyes?
Talking about honesty in a world full of lies.
Tell me where were you when I cried last night?
Hoping for a love that may never come
Looking for his smile as wide as the sun
Some mindful questions and mindful of the one.
Shot through the heart a bullet from your gun…
Be My Angel, I still want you baby
Be My Angel, I’m half-crazy, crazy
Be My Angel, oh yeah e yeah
Be My Angel
The harder the path I’ll help you across, the greater the burden, I’ll foot the cost,
and I’ll be what you would be for me what you would be for me…
Be My Angel
Whisper at me, what ‘you saying baby?
Comfort me, be my one and only
Rescue me, oh when it gets stormy,
Be My Angel

Courage
Did you see her come my way?
Did you see her, tell me, what did she say?
Have you the strength to look regret in the face and burn it down with unyielding faith?
Yes you lost her when you lost your way.
Yes you lost her through the years of pain
and now you're standing at Courage’s Grave.
The bounty of riches was too much for a child to bear, you hid the scattered pieces in a trail of despair.
You were deceived in the palace, on the road to nowhere, lost in the search as if nobody cared 'til…
You found her with your heart ablaze.
Yes you found her through the splendour of change,
...and now you’re standing in Courage’s Embrace.
Can you believe it? Or were you just dreaming?
You can work your way through it, Soul’s don’t die…
I want to be alive.

Everybody Needs Love
You are gone, but it’s with you I belong.
Tell me what I gotta do to see you again?
Oh darling, you are my special friend
All my love is for you…ah yeah!
I don't wanna sleep with no one else
I can’t love, nobody else
All my love is for you.
(Sing with me!)
Everybody Needs Love
Everybody Needs Love (She gave me her love)
Everybody Needs Love, (I gotta have her love)
Everybody Needs Love
All my love is for you.

Fight!
Let me take you back in time,
When James Brown was in his prime
and all you needed was the groove
to liberate your mind…
Fast-forward to today, all the violence, misogyny.
Ask yourself about materialism above peace in our time,
What would Mr. Lennon say?
Maybe he’d say…
You’ve gotta Fight For Real Music!
So long now they’ve abused it.
You’ve gotta Fight For Real Music
So long now, they’ve misused it.
I say, I say you’ve gotta Fight!
No more reality TV, chewing gum for the eyes,
You celebrity junkies will never hear Marvin eulogise.
Our children growing old, before they hit their teens
Indoctrinated by those trashy magazines, that’s why…
You’ve gotta Fight For Real Music!
So long now they’ve abused it.
You’ve gotta Fight For Real Music
So long now, they’ve misused it.
I say, I say you’ve gotta Fight!
Let’s provide a guide for generations to change so that we use message as the medium again.
Back and yet forward to the righteous way to move past decades of negative pain...
Breeding ill-advised cast-aways, still feeling that cost today, uh, come on home now,
yield to the loving way, I say you gotta...
Fight For Real Music!
So long now they’ve abused it.
You’ve gotta Fight For Real Music
So long now, they’ve misused it.
I say, I say you’ve gotta Fight!

Good Luck!
He’s been down
He’s been up
Growing roots
Losing blood
..and he’s born in the mud with the tyrants and thugs.
Starlight children medicate with drugs...
Same for his Daddy, now he bears the cross
School broke his spirit when he needed a hug
Young boy!
I wish you Good Luck!
Good Luck
Good Luck!
On her knees
With a rosary, a bible
Or the hooker’s job
Dam’ disease
Man children running our society
She heads off to work - all they have is guns to shoot her down with a male ego touch
We can only heal when the Goddess is God. Young girl, I wish you Good Luck!
Good Luck!
Good Luck!
Why shouldn't I expect the love I need? Do I have to have the tears to prove it? Into me you see, intimately but you still fail to notice...
Now they gotta quit town ‘cos they’ve been priced out pseudo educated and deep in doubt.
You can play the game but you’ll never win.
I wish ‘em Good Luck!

Honest Lover
He needs an Honest Lover
Give him an Honest Lover
...and you think he don’t notice that unfamiliar smell on you babe?
...and you think he don’t notice how you sneak into bed late?
...and you think he don’t notice the smudge of lipstick around your mouth?
..and you think he won’t realise how you’re such a waste of time?
O honey ‘cos
You’re not worthy of his love.
His love and affection,
can’t you see his misery? 'Cos I know
If I had a man so worthy I would never let him go…
He needs an Honest Lover! Give him an Honest Lover.
...and you think he don’t notice how you’re constantly on the phone?
...and you think he don’t notice how you shy away when something’s wrong?
...and you think he won’t realise what a mockery of a woman you are?
You should give him some credit, ‘cos he’s actually quite smart.
You’re deceitful, you’re a liar!
Such a trickster, a raging fire.
I was complicit, I didn’t see it
but I can trust, whilst your vision's in pieces
You’re a ghost of a friend I once knew.
I never expected this insanity from you,
and now your girlfriends don’t wanna know you,
you don’t know how to be…

Mrs Jameson
Mrs Jameson, forgive me to turn up unannounced
Oh but Mrs Jameson,
I think I’ve fallen for your daughter and
I don’t know what to do now…
Mrs Jameson, it’s complicated,
See she’s just like me and we’re in awe of
our creation, Mrs Jameson.
When your little girl first appeared in my world, I loved her with abandon and you told her I was ill
and as I sit here in your living room you may well be
right, but Mrs Jameson, please see I’m for real,
and I just came here tonight ‘cause I need your advice…
Mrs Jameson, I guess she’s wondering why I didn’t kiss her in that light
Well there was a shyness within and that’s just not like me
Can you tell her I still dig her, but before I can love her,
I’ve gotta find my inner peace.
Well I just sat you down,
said what will be will be
allow your creativity to be the source of your salvation,
then maybe one day she’ll be your very own Mrs Jameson…

The Day
This bag of problems
This rigged deck of cards
This human body chose to wear the scars
This broken family still loving hard
One man's story, courageous 'til he fell apart
Thank you for saving my life tonight, I’m oh so glad you came.
You gave me your remedies and took away the pain.
Thank you for saying my life tonight,
The black ravens and crows flew home to comfort me and I was never alone.
Thank you for saving my life tonight, I don't know what else to say but thank you...
I won't give up…The Day.
The toolbox is empty before the examination starts
My iron will is forged from the terror of my past
No rest or mercy from the less-traveled path
Then you appear like a beacon of light, and I am held in the dark.
Thank you for saying my life tonight, said the pauper to the thief,
I guess we’re all just beggars here, looking for light relief
Thank you for saving my life tonight, I crumbled to my knees, I rose from the canvas and smiled at defeat.
Thank you for saving my life tonight, I don't know what else to say but thank you…
I won't give up… The Day.
You made me feel ok
I won't give up The Day
You made me feel ok
I won't give up The Day

The Wall
I’m standing at The Wall, it’s a place I know for a hit it every time I fall
Brick by brick my soul begins to crumble
I’m standing at The Wall.
Every morning my life’s stuck in the station
When will I ever get my wheels in motion?
I’m standing at The Wall, it’s a place I know for a hit it every time I fall
Brick by brick my soul begins to crumble
I’m standing at The Wall.
I’ve had this shovel for a long time now
Why can’t I stop myself from digging?
Mama, teach me how to knock down this wall.
My Daddy, he’s alive, I can’t say I know him that well at all.
Friendship keep me, afloat
I know I can’t do this, alone.

Tough Love
I could say so many things regarding your smile
but why, oh why should I,
now that I’ve seen through your deceit and your pride
You give me…
Tough Love, I just don’t understand.
Tough Love, it makes me feel like half a man.
You seem to enjoy, leading me on.
See you build my hopes up before proving, proving them wrong
..and there’s that twisted way about you, that leaves me coming back for more
I can’t get enough of your…
Tough Love, I just don’t understand.
Tough Love, between a woman and a man
Tough Love!
You give me that love
I just wanna love you, just let me love you.

What My Soul Told Me
No tree ever abandoned me
No flower ever rejected me
No demon ever spoke honestly
No fear ever destroyed me
No dream that I can’t bring to reality
No soul that can’t be spared catastrophe
Heed your brother’s call and your sister’s majesty
One song, One family, One earth at One with the glory
Everybody’s a soul,
make sure you hear their story.
It’s what my soul told me.
It’s never too late to be what you want to be.
It’s your expression,
no one else’s dream.
You just have to believe
No tree ever abandoned me
No flower ever rejected me
No demon ever spoke honestly
No fear ever destroyed me

Wild Horse
She was wilder than the wind
Laying waste to the fields
Like a hurricane that screams, you can’t hurt me at all.
..and so I waited for years, until that day she said…
Never
Ride on Wild Horse
Ride on Wild Horse
You’re free to find some other fool
I dare you to find a faithful man
who’ll love you as much as I do,
so ride on Wild Horse.
Hey Lovers, sweet lovers
Before you give your heart remember
Honour yourself first and forever
Stop and read the signs
Don’t believe in her illusion
For when the dark clouds come and no one loves ya
My gospel will protect ya, take these words and tell her...
Ride on Wild Horse
While I grow you go, while I grow you go.
You don’t know how to love, you don’t know ah you know.
So we’ll never know, so I’ve let go, oh I’ve let you go!
Ride on Wild Horse,
Ride on Wild Horse
You’re free to find some other fool,
Oh I dare you to find a faithful man
who’ll love you as much as I do,
so ride on Wild Horse.
