I’m looking from a window and I can’t see a tree I’m in a desert city in the land of luxury A woman in a fur coat is walkin’ up the street She got the light in her eyes but she can’t see me I am the floating ghost That no-one ever knows And I go places no-one ever goes I arrive from the skies and float away untouched To the heart of the star where all light is crushed The sounds all around are the ones that I conduct I’m the genius that was always overlooked I’m looking at old dreams In the silent light of a silver screens But I can never get back to where I’ve been Float over Mexico Float over Idaho I float anywhere I want to go I know a place – nobody knows Where gravity rises and all time slows The ground is so old that nothing grows And the air is so cold that fire is froze I float in the summer’s heat I float over Downing Street And I float where all the old ghosts meet I look down on this earth – from way up high I don’t understand – how I can fly I got eyes so wide – there’s nowhere to hide You can lock your doors but I just float inside And I trail The Taliban And I view the Vatican And I piss in the Palace of Buckingham

I’m comin G, B7 and hells comin with me C, G It’s drinking up time C, G In the Dragoon Saloon D Sometimes you gotta change your mind You got to learn to let go Their ugly world is over And not a moment too soon He stood on a mountain top C, G In a ghost city of soldiers C, G This time it’s got to stop C, G This time it’s over D Burn ‘em all Let’s burn ‘em all God said to the Devil Let’s burn them all What makes people do All the things they do ? They can never steal enough And now they ran out of room They die for fun Burned out like the sun No pride no dignity They’ve even got suicide bombs He stood on a mountain top C, G In a ghost city of soldiers C, G The devil said to Jesus C, G Where’s your mother tonight ? D Burn ‘em all Let’s burn ‘em all God said to the Devil Let’s burn them all (Key Ch) C , G, …………………………….F So let your fires burn the night Bb, Am Paint darkness on the morning light Bb, Am Make this place history Bb, Am Like iron stars in the sky C D (Break) Their hearts pound so loud They can’t hear nothing else They pray right out loud Just to save themselves Listen to the thunder As the lightnin strikes They’re going under It’s happening tonight

I walk through city arches Who built this corner of the universe ? A tunnel of light and darkness The marks we make upon this earth And then the steel glass buildings Litter the banks of a river I’m anxious what the light brings With it’s message to deliver I’m suspicious of the shadows Of light years passing by I found out where the time goes but I never found out why I watch the women waiting In black high heeled shoes The traffic is impatient They all got the Highway Blues The day is falling Just like all the rest All the wasted moments I so really meant to invest Looking at clouds assembled To mark pathways to the stars Like where I saw an angel from the back seat of car I walked into a gallery To see the yellow chair Thick paint just where you left it Almost like you were still there If I could paint then I would paint The views of heaven and earth The women that would tempt a saint And leave him in the dirt Or maybe an old couple in an orchard With sunlight on their hands Looking back instead of forward at all of their plans

Return to a cold cold city Where the future was a mystery What ghosts are in these houses now ? What fates did their Gods allow ? Well I lived here in eternity Writing bad poetry in Bloomsbury Dodge cold shadows of autumn The long light of the setting sun (Life looks grim in Wimbledon) In the golden woods of Surrey Where there is no great hurry Except that the sun is low and colder And we just can’t stop getting any older At the bottom of Leith Hill With the hopes that time has killed So what ever is left in this day Time wrap it all in darkness Time wrap it all in darkness Time wrap it all in darkness – and take it away And these shadows are all tricks of light Sentries posted for the darkest night Memories that linger on But photograph days are long gone And it’s time that never tires And I can feel the heat of hellfires At the bottom of Leith Hill With the hopes that time has killed So what ever is left in this day Time wrap it all in darkness Time wrap it all in darkness Time wrap it all in darkness – and take it away But I leave this world without a debt Paid them off with a dead man’s cheque I signed it - Gregory Peck Cheated the banks and cheated death That was my tax avoidance (retirement ?) plan Signed my name with a severed hand At the bottom of Leith Hill With the hopes that time has killed What ever is left in this day ? The dimming of the golden rays ? Time wrap it all in darkness Time wrap it all in darkness Time wrap it all in darkness – and take it away

Those ghosts they sit around and wait Trapped forever in the land of Super 8 Road dreams sunset flat mountain tops Invade my mind and the film - it never stops That time belongs to them and they keep it so precious The world spin by and back again and time can be so vicious Distant lands and a golden sun - they still belong To you and we can never share the chances are all long gone But I drink to the memory And raise the glass to defy The cruel fate of gravity Wickedness and lies Let’s get high So this is my religion time is locked forever in a light beam parallel ray And lives can glow and fade but never disappear away And memories are like ships that float slowly to horizons And clouds collide in skies that I never flied in So don’t you worry don’t you wait you always got a date with destiny You make no sense with any theory of philosophy you’re tellin’ me I don’t surrender nothing - I keep it locked so safe No highwayman doubts or logic louts can draw me from this place

I’m a ghost writer I write about the afterlife And it’s nothin’ like they told yer Do you accept my explanation They been giving you mis-information It’s nothing like they said it would be I’m a ghost writer I write about my friends that haunt the skies This afterlife is nothin’ like they told yer I’m giving you a true account I would never let yer down It’s nothing like they said it would be I’m a ghost writer I write about my friends that haunt the skies This afterlife is nothin’ like they told yer I would never bullshit you Everything I type is true It’s nothing like they said it would be You always hurt the one you love And in my case that is me I was blessed by God above With stupidity And time stopped when I left the city Now I just got the Vegas recollections Your husband wants to hit me When I look in your direction And this poetry is a pisser I keep thinkin’ of ways to say I miss yer There’s a high body count around here You can still count on mine my dear I work for the cannibal As a head waiter She don’t serve no vegetables I think I hate her But Egon Ronay rates her She’s a bitch and she never pays me Some time sooner or later Something makes yer crazy Howling at the moon Trying to sing this crazy tune Howling with Coyotes Or time, money or women Maybe Archbishop Baldwin And the Cross Keys of St Peter Is this a new life callin ? I can’t wait to meet yer When I pulled down the pillars of faith I think I only made things worse The stone tablets of evil In the back of my big black hearse This world is mostly a mess But I did like your little black dress Life is short love is compressed The size of your heart and the speed of your breath And all lives are wasted It’s a fact why don’t we face it I’m a god of time I hide in doorways I’m out of line but you can’t ignore me Have you ever cried Have you ever been on the losing side Like maybe the day Elvis died He should’ve tried immortality Like Bob Dylan I’m big and bold like a Portsmouth spider Black as a pint of Guinness She drives me crazy but I like her What a crazy life this is People laughing make me sad They got nothing I never had Babylon is long gone We democaratised everyone We even gave them the bomb They cann’t handle the power It drags them lower and lower Lowest common denominator Don’t give them the detonator A flower stuck in a vase Stuck beneath the stars I always back down I got a cowards mind I’m nine hundred and ninety nine Looking out for the danger sign Health is my prime consideration Bide my time I don’t need damnation I want to be the ruler Of a sizeable urban area Put it down to the power of prayer The revolution is here Now is my hour I know I can handle power Relinquished all my personal effects And it’s time I made a start I want to pay my last respects Before I rip out your black evil heart Dangerous people have dreams And I got a mind for alternative schemes I left love behind Kicked her out of my mind I’m happy to discuss it And I got time - no need to rush it I live for existentialism A Now City citizen An affordable fashion fan Walking like an orang-utan How come I can see the future ? Before it ever gets here It was the same the last time the world ended I knew it was gonna happen I was feeling apocalyptic But then I fell asleep and I missed it I am the master A high ranking Rasta The Omnipotent one Is long gone A new Messiah To set this earth on fire I am John Dillinger And I’m busy killing yer Just trying to free my mind But I’m running out of time………………….. I’m in a lift – that keeps going down On the back road out of town Wreck on the highway A dead bird on the highway I fell from the skyway Broken love – I broke it Where there’s life I choke it I live in the age of foolishness The wrong speech and I spoke it So can you read – the mirror writing ? Are you working on the Code ? In the gloom of the catacombs Destruction down below I’m flying on a broken arrow No-one knows I dive like Swifts and swallows I’m turning back time this time Surfing on a gravity wave I’m following the Rose Line The future is safe I was sailing with some bad motherfuckers We had a hold full of whores We were stuck in the straights of Malacca But we were never bored I did an Open University course I watched a DVD of Inspector Morse I was alone without remorse Like Paul Revere without his horse Warlock Williams why of course I would join your police force Apostate of memory Folk propagandist I got a flat in Taipan I don’t look forward or backward Broken love – had enough – had it rough – it was love Like a dead dog on the highway The lost treasure of England I saw a ghost walking on the hard shoulder His car was broken when he died He looked sad that this life was over He saw heaven but didn’t want to go inside

I got a bad tattoo I seen it in the news And I saw it in the mirror too Then I caught the Lost City Blues From the stoned statues And now I got all this time that I can’t use In this cold hard town Lay a dirty blanket down Watch the people kick the shit around This is London calling Gravity is falling All the way to the ground Bullets that rush like the swish of a silk dress The sound of a supermodel in some serious distress And (on Ferndale Road) I got [these] bad dreams that I got to confess I got no time for talking I’m too busy stalking To change my shirt or my mind They took away my time Walkin with the Waterloo sunshine Shadows and dust are all that I can find I’m in a video With gravity pulling me low A silver angel telling me to go This time is too slow Until there is no more to know Nowhere to hang my halo

Well I don’t know a lot But I know our fate is what we got And we can’t see around the bend This sky is September blue These planes fly past for you And this is not the end Cos – All that’s left of us is love All that’s left of us is love And you left more than enough And I still owe you a pint Time we can’t rewind I got a magic lantern show inside my mind And I see your smiling face A smile that never fades The constants of all time Cos – All that’s left of us is love All that’s left of us is love And you left more than enough I see your face in the crowd I hear you laugh out loud I see you walk through the door And I hear you shouting for more Autumn trees stand so tall But everything one day must fall Gravity drags everybody down But there’s a light that shines on and on and on The love you leave is never gone It just gets passed around Cos – All that’s left of us is love All that’s left of us is love And you left more than enough

Gunslinger © ANeckenderMusic 2013 I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I could be suckin on my last breath The lord took me for somebody else And I don’t have to be myself The third beast of fourth seal From the fifth gate appeared to me No man alive ever said I lied Nothing like whisky for my appetite Gunslinger ain’t no life If you want my advice If I knew then what I knew when My 2nd bullet hit his heart again He fell into heaven as I fell into hell Round here the law is a pistol shot And from a standing draw I can hit a padlock But I never told a bragging lie The last time I saw my mother she was hanging high I can’t help it if I’m swift In temper love and shot Even quicker when I’m pissed But even meaner when I’m not A lifetime makin up for lost ground In a cheap whore cheap beer town I like drinkin more than a moose pisses All night women and loose kisses Gunslinger ain’t no life If you want my advice If I knew then what I knew when My 2nd bullet hit his heart again He fell into heaven as I fell into hell

Let’s talk about the low point Let’s talk about love But maybe there’s no point You never get enough I’m not ready Not ready at all I’m not ready Not ready to fall I’m not ready Not ready yet What part of not ready Do you not get ? Well I must be out of my head This song got me out of my bed I should be dreaming instead But either way it’s better than dead Once they put me in the dock Once they put me in hock Once my wife tried to change the locks But if they tried to change me It just enrages me Well I’ve played a stadium And I’m not afraid of them I don’t mind tedium But I can’t stand religion Today is another day Rainclouds coming this way Don’t let it bother me Make another pot of tea I’m still not ready Not ready at all I’m not ready Not ready to fall I’m not ready Not ready yet What part of not ready Do you not get ?

Use your last heartbeat chasing your first dream Don’t let it go it won’t chase you What did they do to the world you knew? Time’s a thief that much is true Dream guitars that cry and sing Dream movie stars in high heels Dream visions that life can bring Time’s a thief and dreams are what it steals Scatter me on a highway Let the trucks take me away But turn around and I will be there In your dream or in your nightmare Second glances in a rear view mirror Missed chances of history Circumstances can change your character No defences to time’s robbery Scatter me on an ocean green Dark and deep like my sleep I’ll never sleep with the fishes This life is sweet and delicious You’ve come so far – it’s come to this Teardrops running like piss Life’s a long and lonely highway These dreams were your headlights Just a ghost drawn by starlight Driving into the night Scatter me on a highway Let the trucks take me away But turn around and I will be there In your dream or in your nightmare Use your last heartbeat chasing your first dream Don’t let it go it won’t chase you Take your last step onto a dance floor ‘Cos this is life give me more

What if positivity could never save you ? When gravity makes you crawl ? What if electricity betrays you ? When you are allowed one last call ? So when you feel that lonely - When you feel that all alone When God’s looking for you - With a nuclear drone And all your tablets have turned to stone Come running – come running – come running to me Come running – come running – come running to me What if your religion is a ball and chain ? And what if it never ever brings you back again ? And what if the next life is just the same ? All the mixed up confusion in your brain What if x-rays see your thought dreams ? And they’re featured in a medical magazine ? And the doctors prescribe you pity ? Because you can’t handle – eternity So when you feel that lonely - When you feel that all alone When God’s looking for you - With a nuclear drone And all your tablets have turned to stone Come running – come running – come running to me Come running – come running – come running to me When a Sultan casts you into a dungeon When you need an equation you can depend on When you got good reason to join the foreign legion Come running – come running – come running to me So when you feel that lonely - When you feel that all alone When God’s looking for you - With a nuclear drone And all your tablets have turned to stone Come running – come running – come running to me Come running – come running – come running to me

Goin a Illinois Got a bullet to deploy Lawbreakin woman broke my heart.....................................

....I'm a hound dog man Comin for you as fast as I can..............

Pour me into this city I thrive on insanity Life wont ever be the same If I can’t ever call your name So pour me right down the drain The plague is long gone My fate has been the wrong one Libertine and licentious Why else would God invent us And why do all his prophets resent us? Immortality Is the only way to proceed Cut my vein and watch me bleed All the fates have agreed And the King of France with his hand in his pants he wants to dance but he got no chance With you By the crown of the Virgin Mary A party of promiscuity And it’s 1791 In the city of the courtesan All lost and damned Unwanted daughters with violins Play for their mother’s sins With a mood of mystery There’s no money in music that’s happy Try telling that – to Vivaldi Immortality Is the only way to proceed Cut my vein and watch me bleed All the fates have agreed And the King of France with his hand in his pants he wants to dance but he got no chance with a courtesan Like you Napoleon Blownaparte He lost his heart To Canelletto views To a love that’s never true But he likes looking and he’s looking for you Immortality Is the only way to proceed Cut my vein and watch me bleed All the fates have agreed And the King of France with his hand in his pants he’s got a plan he wants to dance but he got no chance cos it takes a man to keep a courtesan

When you’re lost in the night In Pacific Heights And nothing turns out right And everything you do Turns to the blues And your brain just blew a fuse When the crazy neighbourhood command Can’t understand Why you’re waiting for a new escape plan So only the brave die slowly So lost and so lonely Live a life so lowly If only, if only, if only, if only My phasor set to kill Death can be such a bitter pill Tell me your last wish if you will? In orbit round a dim star Upholding intergalactic law With silver spurs and a tin star If I could fly in the sky I know I’d fall over But if you buy me a pint then I’ll buy you another And another, and another, and another So only the brave die slowly So lost and so lonely Live a life so lowly If only, if only, if only, if only
