Hank

Posted on

Hank was first released on the 2018 EP Better Than That.

Details

LyricsReleaseListenAvailable OnGigsGuitar Tabs
This crack head's tiny fingers
Accusing you of what he'll do
White fascists in the White House
More beetroot in your Russian stew

Blinds roll down in the ghetto
Power’s out all over town
Jim Crow rules in the crack down
Bend your knee, stand your ground

Our weapon is a stand up
A jester prancing like a fool
In jest digest the monster
This president’s a dangerous tool

Blinds roll down in the ghetto
Power’s out all over town
Jim Crow rules in the crack down
Bend your knee, stand your ground

Democracy sells easy
NRA high fives
Orlando, Sandy Hook and Columbine
CCTV's grainy
His raptures our decline
Hookers hotels showers dollar signs

Suppress the vote, electoral lies
Black lives matter, shoot on sight
We exist in multiple denials
He just says what they would hide
Rulers rule by divide
Why put your faith in facts when you can lie?
Now every possibility exists in everybody's mind

I'm in the story business
This tower falls without a sound
Only our carbon footprint
Suggests an empire here unwound

Blinds roll down in the ghetto
Power’s out all over town
Jim Crow rules in the crack down
Bend your knee, stand your ground

Coming Home (Pt.2)

Posted on

Coming Home (Pt.2) was first released on the album Living In Extraordinary Times.

Details

LyricsReleaseListenAvailable OnGigsGuitar Tabs
I missed your seventh birthday
Last kiss, five thousand miles away
Face time on father's day
Father's day, five thousand miles away

Forever touring Neverland
Live like a rolling stone, rolling stone
My life's not in my hands
I hope you understand

I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home
I wanna
I wanna
I wanna
I wanna hold your hand across this dark

My life is always leaving
Packed up my bags are full of bones
Don't know when I'll arrive
I'm waiting, I'm waiting to take five

My life is calling
My feet are falling
Somewhere away from here
Away from here
Waiting to arrive
Waiting to arrive

I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home
I wanna
I wanna
I wanna
I wanna hold your hand across this dark

Missed you when you're small
Missed you when you're cold
Placing you on hold
Love to endure

I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home
I wanna
I wanna
I wanna
I wanna hold your hand across this dark

I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home
I wanna
I wanna
I wanna
I wanna hold your hand across this dark

I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home
Across this universe
Of time and space
You shoot my heart

Broken By The Hurt

Posted on

Broken By The Hurt was first released on the 2018 EP Better Than That.

Details

LyricsReleaseListenAvailable OnGigsGuitar Tabs
Suicide or cancer
Loss of child
Betrayal, deceit
How’d you not get bitter
When life kicks you in the teeth?

We must all get battered
Lose our trust and self belief
Find what really matters.

We’re made of clay
Left long in the blaze
Fire makes us brittle
Gives us our shape
And all that remains
Two fragile flames
Dancing like jesus
Don’t come without pain
See you later.

Broken by the hurt
Broken by the hurt
Broken by the hurt

Some of us born monied
Some never make it to their feet
Some born lucky
Some born hopeless

We’re made of clay
Left long in the blaze
Our heirs and graces
Melt them away
See you later
Broken by the hurt
Broken by the hurt
Broke open by the hurt
Broke open by the hurt

We all die
More than once
In this life
Butterfly
Lift, lift up
Show me your hard earned love
Broken by the hurt
Broken by the hurt
Broken by the hurt
Broke open by the hurt
Open by the hurt

We must die
More than once
In this life
Butterfly
Lift, lift up
Show me hard earned love
Broken By The Hurt
Open by the hurt
Open by the hurt
Open by the hurt
Open by the hurt
Open by the hurt
Open by the hurt

Better Than That

Posted on

Title track from the 2018 Better Than That EP. First heard on BBC R6M.

Details

LyricsReleaseListenAvailable OnGigsGuitar Tabs
Awake
This song has found you
Asleep at the wheel of your car
You’re boring; bored; unengaged
Life comes to rattle your cage

You can do better than that
Hit me again and give it some impact
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
You can do better than that
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Hit me again and show me where I crack

This naked ape
So out of shape
Sedated by hi-tech
Wants fame on a plate
Though water flows round rocks
Its path don’t deviate

You can do better than that
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Hit me again and give it some impact
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
You can do better than that
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Hit me again and show me where I crack
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
You can do better than that

You’re coming out of your way
Live like today's your last day

You can do better than that
Hit me again and give it some impact
You can do better than that
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Hit me again and show me where I crack
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
You can do better than that
