Innocence Said Text and music Robert Smith-Hald
Give us this day our daily bread
Give us the will to be strong
Give us salvation, Innocence said, I will praise your
name with song
Oh how I long to, Oh how I roam
Bathed in the light of the cavernous sun
Grown in the field that you mow
Planting a seed, the ignorant one,
You will only reap what you sow
Oh how I long to, Oh how I roam
So cast of your chains and be rid of the burdens that
mould you
And tighten the reigns till they snap and no one can
hold you
Be free of the shackles your forefathers fashioned before
you
And beware of the crowd with the jealousy shroud over
you
You wade in the waters against the tide
And you sing all your songs to the wind
You ripen the fruit that grows on the vine
And forgive the ones who have sinned
Oh how I long to, Oh how I roam
So fare thee well innocent one
Fare thee well to my friend
The hour has come, your journey begun
They will sing your praise in the end
SAFE AS MILK Text
and music by Robert Smith-Hald
Mamma
I'm still on fire Mamma it's still on me
Mamma
I'm still on fire, Look what it's done to me
Mamma
I'm still burning, Mamma would you look at me
Mamma
I'm still burning, Look what it's done to me
I am young
and I know nothing
And I don't understand
You can stop the fire
burning
A touch of your hand, A smile on your face,falling into place
Softer than silk, safer
than milk
Oh
come on, oh come on
All
you gotta do is open up and try
All
you really gotta do is open up and see how high- how high can you fly?
And
can you fly higher- Can you fly higher
Mamma don't light that fire -Mamma make it go away
Mamma don't light that fire Look what it's done today
Mamma-
I'm still on fire Mamma- it's scaring me
Mamma-
I'm still on fire - why won't you save me?
Little River Text and music by Robert Smith-Hald
I have been
waiting a long time, I have been waiting you know
I have been
patient and I have stood strong but now it's time to let go
I have been
carefull and I have been kind, I've been too cautious you know
I've been
afraid to be bold, I've been blind - But now, it's time to let go
Out of the rain with the sun in your eyes
in a blue sky
Into the bright brilliant light
of a new blue sky
Little
river let it flow Open field just let it go
Do you
have hunger? Do you have pain?
Do you
have thunder? Can you feel the rain?
Just
look for the sunshine don't look for the shadow
Step
into the sunshine - just let the rain go - just let the rain go
Twisted
black glass skattered in shards
Broken and swept away
Tumbling
down like a house built of cards
All
crashing down today- All crashing down today
ON AND ON
Words and music by Robert Smith-Hald
Man
loves a woman and a woman loves a man
Everybody
does their best it's gotta be a catch can catch can
Everybody
gotta have a place to go
Nobody
knows what there's gonna be for supper if your face don't show
Children
playing in the dark in the hazardous hallway
Marbles
rolling to rest
Wet
boots are tumbling down the stairs
And the
sun is setting in the west
And we
go on and on and on
And we can't
change the world
But we
can do our best
I
whistle in the morning and I whistle at night
And one
of these days I'm gonna whistle
And I'll
whistle till it sounds allright
We never
even had a half a holiday
Somebody
came and nobody went
But they
all went away
Sun
turned into rain and the rain to snowing
Snowing
turned into slush
Wet
boots are tumbling down the stairs and the ain�t doing too much
And we
go on and on and on
And we
can't change the world
But we
can do our best
NO SUNSHINE
Text and music by Robert Smith-Hald
You lost me a long time ago
And where I'm goin' I don't know
You ain't no sunshine
- You ain't no rain - You're just pain
Feelin' so much better all the time
Leavin' all the guilt and pain behind
You ain't no sunshine - You ain't no rain -
You're just pain
Looking straight ahead and never down
I'm so glad you're not around
You ain't no sunshine - You ain't no rain -
You're just pain
And every day is better than the rest
I just try and do my best
You ain't no sunshine - You ain't no rain -
You're just pain

HEY LADY
Text and music by Robert Smith-Hald
Hey lady, don't you understand
Hey lady, I am not your man
Hey lady, don't bother me
Hey lady, nothing is for free
Hey lady, I am not your friend
Hey lady, I am not your lover
Hey lady, I am not your brother
Hey lady, You have mistaken me for some
other
I see you don't wanna - don't wanna let go
I see you can't take a no for a no
I see you don't wanna don't wanna let go
I see you can't take a no for a no
Stay lady, stay away from me
Stay lady, far away from me
Don't worry don't you make a sound
Don't hurry 'cause I won't be around
Stay lady � stay away from me
Stay lady �far away from me
I'M FREE Text and music by Robert Smith-Hald
LATELY I HAVE BEEN A MESS
LATELY I HAVE BEEN OBSESSED
I SEE YOU ARE UNDER PRESSURE
I SEE YOU ARE ALMOST GONE
AND YOU KNOW THAT I'VE BEEN THINKIN' ABOUT YOU
DAILY
AND YOU KNOW THAT I'VE BEEN TRYIN' TO GET YOU
OUT OF MY MIND
JUST TO LEAVE YOU BEHIND
I'VE BEEN -ALMOST GOING MAD
I'VE BEEN- DESPERATE AND SAD
I SEE -THERE IS NO REDEMPTION
I SEE THERE IS NO WAY BACK
AND YOU KNOW THAT I'VE BEEN THINKIN' ABOUT YOU
DAILY
AND YOU KNOW THAT I'VE BEEN TRYIN' TO GET YOU
OUT OF MY MIND
JUST TO LEAVE YOU BEHIND
I'VE BEEN ALMOST MOVING FORWARD
I'VE BEEN CAREFUL NOT TO CRACK
I SEE- YOU ARE NOW RECEEDING
I'M FREE AND NEVER GOING BACK
AND YOU KNOW THAT I'VE BEEN THINKIN' ABOUT YOU
DAILY
AND YOU KNOW THAT I'VE BEEN TRYIN' TO GET YOU
OUT OF MY MIND
JUST TO LEAVE YOU BEHIND
I'VE BEEN -SILENTLY PLEADING
I'VE BEEN - INWARDLY BLEEDING
I-' FREE YOU ARE NOW RECEEDING
I'M FREE - I'M NO LONGER NEEDING
Jesus Words and music Robert Smith-Hald
Jesus came a walkin down the track
Great white robes all a fallin from his back
And then the train came around the bend
Jesus stepped to the side and said
I don't want it to run over my head
And then the train drove around the bend
But the great white robes were still on the track
And Jesus was dragged by the skin of his back
Just around the bend
Everybody said that Jesus was dead
Killed by the train he was out of his head
And it is just as well the man was insane
Everybody said that Jesus was dead
Big Ol train run over his head
Ripped to pieces on the railroad track
I don't know but he won't be back
Ain't nobody surviving that
No, there ain't nobody surviving that
Everybody gathered round
Lokking for the pieces and the big white gown
But the man he was not to be found
So after a while they gave up searching
Jesus was gone and the train went lurching on
And nobody knows what happened that day
Jesus came and he went his way
And they are all out there still searching today
THE EASTER
BUNNY IS DEAD By
Alexander and Robert Smith-Hald
The easter Bunny is dead - we found him lyin'in the road
The easter bunny is dead - we found him lyin' in the road
The easter Bunny lyin' dead in the road
Neighbors drive by bout a hunerd
miles an hour- ever single day
Drivin' like a posse on the whisky sour, scarin' everbody away
Kickin up the dust til we all go nuts, rippin up the road til the cars
all bust
Just- what the hell is he drivin like a lunatic for?
Oh poor bunny - not so funny
jus a hoppin' and a jumpin and a singin' a song on a beautiful sunshiny
day
Oh poor bunny - not so funny
Just a skippin and a jumpin and a thumpin along, not in anybodys way
Neighbours got a new car- drivin' it around
Old one's lyin' in the ditch - Way down deep in the ground
Full o bunny guts blood and gunk, Covering the car from the hood to the
trunk
Just- what the hell is he drivin like a lunatic for?
Well we picked up the pieces and dug 'em down
Neighbour boy just up and come around
Dug him up and took him home
Now they're cookin up a stew on the easter bunny bone
Just- what the hell is he drivin like a lunatic for?
Endless Lonesome Road By Robert Smith-Hald
I'm a
lonesome dove in the high country
A swimmer
in the seven seas
I'm a
tumbleweed comin' and goin' -just as
pretty as you please
I'm a
wandering weary traveller
a-lookin'
for the stars above
And I'm a
cup that's never empty 'cause I still believe in love
But it's
lonely and it's sad
And it's
beautiful and it's bad
And I wish
I had an anchor
I wish I
had a home
I wish I
didn't feel so all alone
I wish I
wasn't hungry
I wish I
wasn't cold
And I wish
I wasn't walkin'
Down that
endless lonesome road
But still I
keep on walkin'
Down that
lonely dusty track
I'm goin'
straight ahead
And I'm
never goin' back
'Cause I'm
a wandering weary traveller
a-lookin'
for the stars above
And I'm a
cup that's never empty 'cause I still believe in love
But it's
lonely and it's sad
And it's
beautiful and it's bad
And I wish
I had an anchor
I wish I
had a home
I wish I
didn't feel so all alone
I wish I
wasn't hungry
I wish I
wasn't cold
And I wish
I wasn't walkin'
Down that
endless lonesome road
More
Than This Text and music by Robert Smith-Hald
I went
to your door, your mamma said go away
He's
lying in bed, too sick to come out and
play
He asked
me to read for him, he's all alone
He
called me up on the telephone
Can you
come and keep me company?
Your
father said no, leave now
We don't
need you, hangin' around
Everything
is gonna be ok
Just
take a hike, come back some other day
I went
around the corner, I saw you standing in your window
You were
dressed and ready to go
I
beckoned and you came, we ran off that same day
We
learned to love, laugh and play
Somebody
tell me, there's peace and love
Somebody
tell me, there's happiness
Somebody
tell med, there's more than this?
I never
went back, that boy in the window was me
Your
mamma said, fine, good riddance and leave it behind
Your
daddy said the same thing, leave it behind, leave it behind
I went
around the corner, I saw you standing in your window
You were
dressed and ready to go
I
beckoned and you came, we ran off that same day
We
learned to love, laugh and play
Somebody
tell me, there's peace and love
Somebody
tell me, there's happiness
Somebody
tell med, there's more than this?
STILL Text and music by Robert Smith-Hald
There's nothing I can do - Nothing I can say - Nowhere I can go
No one I can be - Nothing I can't see - Nowhere I can hide from me
Still Be me
Still me
There's nothing I can do - Nowhere I can go
Nothing I can say - Never get away
I have this life to live - this love to give - I am who I am
I am what I am - To me -No one else can see - No one else can be - Me
Still Be me
Still me
