1. Move On

Move On Move On
The world has gone
She’s not waiting for her lover’s song
She’s heard your tales
Your tales of woe
But she’s not feeling so – Oh no!
She’s seen a better day
And she wants to go free
She’s seen a better way
It lasts eternally
Move On - ah ah
Move On Move On
The world has gone
She’s not waiting for her long lost son
She’s gone she’s gone
Her time has come
She’s not waiting for her lovers song
She’s free like the water
That’s flowing throughout time
She’s free like the daughter
Who’s born of Old Lang Zyne
Move On - ah ah
Move On Move On
The morning sun
Is shining everywhere for everyone
There’s more to come for everyone
And its fun when we are all together one
So you’d better follow her
If you want to believe
Yes you’d better follow her
Its more than make believe
Move On Move On
The world has spun
Shining everywhere on everyone
There’s more to come for everyone
Riding on a rainbow to the sun
The web of the weaver is vast and intertwined
The plans of the schemer
Go way beyond my mind
2. ‘Faery King’
(Martin Cockerham)
© 2008
I woke one morning in gardens green
Though I was lost in a city scene
And music came from a source unseen
All from the heart of my faery king
Now that I know I’ll find my way to go home
To live with him and I will no longer roam
When her heart was known
That’s when I found the throne
Oh faery king will you dance tonight
The sun and moon they can’t shine so bright
Of faery king take my heart tonight
The wind and waves they can’t hold me tight
I woke next morning all bathed in light
I had not planned on an oversight
It set my life in flames alight
Those flames of love they can so excite
And when you play rivers flow to the sky
And birds come down
And walk with men without fright
Even blind men have sight
Dumb men, poems can recite
Oh faery king will you dance tonight
The sun and moon they can’t shine so bright
Of faery king take my heart tonight
The wind and waves they can’t hold me tight
Your love lasts never past
It’s a blast how true love lasts forever
And never dies
love never dies
I Woke next morning in gardens green
Though I was lost in a city scene
And music came from a source unseen
Flows from the heart of my faery king
And when you play
the beast sits down with the bride
and flowers bloom
and what was wrong becomes right
to a forest glade make flight
in the dead of night
Oh faery king will you dance tonight
The sun and moon they can’t shine so bright
Of faery king take my heart tonight
The wind and waves they can’t hold me tight
Oh faery king take my soul to flight
You made the world come all alive
Of faery king take my my soul to flight
You made the world come all alive
3. I Saw A Lonesome Troubadour
(Robin Runciman, Neil Duckworth, Martin Cockerham, Mark Francis)
© 2008
I walked ten thousand deserts
In search of a golden beach
I swam the ocean deepest
For mermaids out of reach
And I climbed ten thousand mountains
So I could find the sky
I cried ten thousand fountains
For a world without a mind
I walked ten thousand highways
To test my broken feet
To lead me to the skyways
Where the Earth and Eden meet
My illusion was a desperate sorrow
My heart was filled with scars
Confusion in a desert sun
Filled with a mirage
Then I saw a lonesome troubadour
Appeared in my dreams
Saying all truth is yours
Just let your poor heart sing
Then I saw a lonesome troubadour
He stood upon the ancient bridge
To lead me through the door
Beyond the lunatics who are ruining these shores
I heard that lonely poet
Repeat his treasured line
Saying everyone’s an artist
There’s pleasure for mankind
If you listen to his world of words
Where troubadours are kings
Inside rainbow universes
Where bluebell angles sing
I saw ten thousand preachers
All speaking out of turn
I saw ten million leaders
All teaching how to burn
And I saw ten trillion uniforms
Where everyone was lost
I saw ten million lawmen
Hung by ropes with tongues in knots
Then I saw a lonesome troubadour
Appeared in my dreams
Saying all truth is yours
Just let your poor heart sing
I saw the tongues of politicians
Crippled inside their heads
And the ministers of freedom
Who’d hung their hearts instead
I saw a billion battlefields
Where only greed was won
I saw young children playing
In a field of graveyards in the sun
Then I saw a lonesome troubadour
Appeared in my dreams
Saying all truth is yours
Just let your poor heart sing
Yes I saw a lonesome troubadour
Who stood upon the ancient bridge
To lead me through the door
Beyond the lunatics who are ruining these shores
Saying let your poor heart sing
And all the truth will be truly yours.
4. What Happened Charlie Darwin?
(Robin Runciman & Martin Cockerham)
© 2008
What happened Charlie Darwin
Where did we go wrong
Seems that the world’s evolving
Into a global bomb
They said I came from a monkey
But now that I’m advanced
I live like junkey
In a concrete trance
I used to eat bananas
And organic succulent fruits
Now I wear pajamas
And silly pin striped suits
What happened Charlie Darwin
Where did we go wrong
We slave away each day and never stop
Waiting for the bomb to drop
I used to swing from beautiful trees
And hang out with my mates
Now I live in apathy
In a city in a right old state
I used to have a happy life
I didn’t have to work to live
I had time for my wife
And to play with all my kids
What happened Charlie Darwin
It seems that man’s free will
Is really his enemy
And that we are all mentally ill
We used to live without money
Nor banks and concrete towers
Yet we had milk and honey
And fields of fragrant flowers
We used to live in paradise
With no anxiety
Now we shop and pay for food
That comes from God for free
So what happened Charlie Darwin
Maybe you got it wrong
Because the worlds evolving
Into a global bomb
5. Nomad
(Robin Runciman, Mark Francis, Martin Cockerham)
© 2008
I’m not mad, I’m a Nomad
I’m not sad, I’m a Nomad
Nomandsland’s where I’m from
Maybe that’s where I belong
Planet earths a sinking ship
Gonna Get Off quick
I’m not mad, I’m a Nomad
I’m not sad, I’m always glad
I’m the son of everyone
Aint got a place of my own
Human race has no home
Just take what fits in your pack, or drop it flat
And what you give you’ll get it back
If it weighs more than a stone
Let it drown all alone
If it costs half a crown
Maybe be too many frowns
Leave it all in the grounds
Or anywhere, loves everywhere
Don’t have a care, empty your hands
And give it all back to the heart
And give it all back, you’ll never starve
Cause I’m a Nomad
I’m not mad, I’m a Nomad
I’m not sad, that I got no pad
Vrindavan’s where I’m from
Vrindavan’s where I’m gone
Cause what you give you’ll never lack
And you’ll get it back
Keep your balance in the black
There is love everywhere
Its all around you, you can share
Its meant to be, its for free
Take an apple, not the tree
There’s no complicity, in a life of simplicity
At the break of dawn, move along
Who goes around won’t come down
Keep your feet within nature’s bounds
And give it all back to the sound
And in the morning let it be composted in the ground
Cause I’m a Nomad
That’s a fact, down the road and that is that
I’m not Sad, I’m a Nomad
I’m not mad, I’m a Nomad
6. Everybody Get The Freedom
(Martin Cockerham & Mark Francis)
© 2008
Everybody get the freedom
To explore inner space and we can go
That’s a very secret garden
And I’m taking you there to get away
I don’t like the rat race
It don’t feel good
I like an easy pace
I’ll take what’s wood
There’s going to be a love at that
And that is surely coming back
Because it’s a fact
Everybody get the freedom
To explore innner world where fools can’t go
It’s a very sacred garden
And I’m taking you there to get away
You don’t like being alone
You know its true
And I don’t like it too
So give me you
There’s got to be a love at that
You know its transcendental fact
And that is pact
Everybody get the freedom
To explore inner space and we can go
That’s a very sacred garden
And no one who I do not like gets through
Because we’ve got it all
I don’t know why
It just came falling through
A spirit sky
You know its transcendental that
You know as flat as a pat
And that is a fact
You know its really coming back
Its transcendental that
Now listen here Prabhu
You know its really coming back
You know its really coming back
And that is that
Its coming through
Its coming back
You know its transcendental fact
Its trance and dental that!
7. Wise Men Say Krishna
(Elvis tune, Martin Cockerham lyrics)
© lyrics 2009
Melody 1950’s
Wise Men Say
There’s all kinds of official wise men
Saying things all day
I don’t know where they’re coming from
But they know how to make you pay
Saying wise things all the way
Wise Men say Krishna
Or they say Radhe, everyday
Yes wise men sit dumfounded on the stairs
With their head in their hands
And they’re ears covered up
They don’t want to hear anymore
Because they’re too afraid they might snore
Those wise men they sure know how to bore
And when they don’t they explore
They’re always conquering new territory
But it was already there
Because life just comes from Him
Its wonderful and its in
It’s a hippie convention
And a peace and love paradise invention
At the end of a stenchion
In detention – eyohh
Wise Men say Krishna
Or they say Radhe Shyam
Radhe Radhe
Wise Men love Krishna
Because He’s just so loveable
He’s the source of the stars
Cause Krishna’s always there
He’s the one who cares
He’ll take away your wares
And leave you free like a bird
Or like a song in Spring
So wise men say Krishna
Or they say Radhe Shyam
Radhe Radhe
Wise men chant
Except when they can’t!
Radhe Shyam
Wise men think too much
They ought to just get in touch
With their inner Krishna
Then they might solve a few of their problems
Those wise old sods
8. I’m Marrying Myself In The Early Spring
(Robin Runciman & Martin Cockerham)
© 2008
I’ve just fallen in love with myself
Now I don’t need anybody else
I look in the mirror
Every night and day
I’m making sure I didn’t go away
I’m marrying myself in the early spring
Does anyone know the joy it will bring
I bought myself a diamond ring
I can hear bells and angles sing
I told the vicar what he ought to say
That the perfect wedding is on the way
Bring out the bride bring out the groom
We’re going fror ride round the honey moon
Now I won’t get shot by the poisoned dart
Of Cupid’s arrow going through my heart
No more wars with mother in laws
No more bores called father in laws
I’m always with me and isn’t that great
I’m never out late, on another date
I can wine and dine and dance through the night
I can do what I like, whenever I like
I don’t need a lawyer to get a divorce
Or paranoia fighting in courts
I don’t need a horse in the back of my Porsche
Or their crazy laws going up my exhaust
Now I’ve found a lover who’s always in bliss
Yes I’m the best lover that I’ve been with
Swinging my hips, kissing my lips
I’m the best lover there is
I’m marrying myself in the early spring
Does anyone know the joy it will bring
I bought myself a diamond ring
I can hear bells and angles sing
Now that I’ve found this wonderful team
I don’t need to run to the mountain streams
I won’t have to listen to those high pitched screams
Cause I’m with the one of my wildest dreams
So I’m meeting myself somewhere in between
Cause the male and the female are always within
9. Love Roll Me Over
(Martin Cockerham, Mark Francis, Alex Gray)
© 2008
Love Roll Me Over, and bring me back alive
I don’t know why I waited all this time
Love Roll Me Over, don’t leave me on the ground
I’ll give you anything, I wanna hear your sound
We’ve got to build a house
In which the whole world can live in peace
Cause there never was a mystery, we just might reach the sea
Love Roll Me Over and plough me underneath
I like the churning of your heath
I like the clover underneath
I like the earth beneath my feet
In times to come people may come alive
All of their dreams could still be realised
And they won’t worry, they’ll be so high
No they won’t worry, they’ll be fine
We had tried to believe in truth
And we had waited way past youth
We were still at the crest of the wave
When it broke on the shores of slaves
Love Roll Me Over and bring me with your crowd
They’re always singing your name aloud
They’re always going down the sea shore side
Singing your name and dancing alive
Love Roll Me Over and save me from these days
Into the presence of love’s purple haze
Love Roll Me Over and bring me to your heart
I’ve known all along, I heard the lark
Love Roll Me Over and bring me to your calm
I’ve always known, everybody’s raam
Love Roll Me Over and bring me to the calm
Calm at the universe
10. Purple Swan
(Robin Runciman & Martin Cockerham)
© 2008
I’m climbing the creative mountain
To find the rainbow stream
To take me to the fountain
That’s beyond my wildest dream
I’m depending on mother nature
To take me by her hand
I’m rising above the dark clouds
Upon the karmic stairs
Looking down on all the people
Who can only sit and stare
I ride on a purple swan
Through the skies of crimson bells
Where the psychedelic sun brings Eden out of hell
Love is forgiving
Yes love is forgiving
I do not belong to eras
And I don’t belong in time
I belong to heroes
In a world that’s never blind
I’m living beyond the demons
Who turned off all our lights
And exploit the humans
To burn they’re human rights
But I will ride the rainbow
Yes I will ride the rainbow
Cause love is forgiving
And love is giving
11. Impossible Mercy
(Mark Francis & Martin Cockerham,)
© 2009
And on that day
Love will come down
To take you away to her sound
Impossible Mercy
You won’t need to take all the love that you make
No longer a beggar alone at the gate
Impossible Mercy
The fire of the soul
I’m a friend of everyone
I’m standing in the sun
I don’t see the light
They just want to fight
Many leaders in those nations
Building armies for sensations
They are all Neros
They are all Zeros
They should lay their guns aside
And go and plough the fields
Soul dead armies we don’t need
All propelled by lust and greed
Terrorists and war like states
Bring the planet to disgrace
All of them are sins creations
Destruction just won’t do
What we need’s a global nation
Serving me and you
You’re a citizen of the air
You’re free to go anywhere
You don’t need a flight
You have the right
You’re a citizen of the earth
No one can take away your worth
You have the right
You don’t need to fight
Love provides for everyone
And no one’s left behind
What we need she gives if we’re kind
Those who are are cruel have all gone blind
They can’t see what they’ve left behind
When they did industrial crime
Building cities of death
That tower high into the sky
Where no springs are flowing from
From earth’s whole paradise
Everyone’s a super being
From a universal queen
We’re all meant to serve the team
Everyone’s a ship at sea
Still unsure of what to be
You’re a citizen of the earth
You’re a citizen of the air
You’re can go anywhere
You can go everywhere
Love provides for everyone
And no one’s left behind
What we need she gives if we’re kind
Those who are cruel have all gone blind
They can’t see what they’ve left behind
When they did industrial crime
Building cities of death
That tower high into the sky
Where no springs are flowing from
From the earth’s whole paradise
Now nobody hears the cries
Of earth’s whole paradise
Hamburger dreams have died
Development was only lies
Going off to space
To waste our money on their pride
Impossible futures
Unsustainable, soul denied
Just be a beggar
And beg with your bowl
Impossible mercy can make a man whole
Love will come down
Impossible mercy’s
The fire of the sun
Not nuclear fission
At war with the one
Impossible Mercy
12. Come What May
Radhe
(Martin Cockerham)
© 2009
Radhe Radhe Radhe Radhe
As you’re looking out from your craggy walls
At the ships sailing by, for your cause
And your heart returns to where it was
As the evening draws a pause
And the waters of time cover all
At the end of the day
Come What May
Radhe Shyam
Sailors are scaling the walls
Kingdoms will rise and they’ll fall
Creation, waits humbly
The iron-robed emperor leads the armies of the dawn
To the gates of the storm
Just like heroes of old
I thought they had been vanquished
In stories once told
To children by hearths, in homes
Radhe Shyam
At the end of the day
Come what may Radhe
Radhe Radhe Radhe Radhe
Oh Radhe Radhe Radhe Shyam
Oh Radhe Radhe Shyam
Oh Radhe Radhe Radhe Shyam
Oh Radhe Radhe Shyam
At the end of the day
Come what may
Radhe Shyam
Sailors are scaling the walls
The Kingdom of evil will fall
Creation, waits humbly
The iron-robed emperor leads the armies of the dawn
To the gates of the storm
Just like heroes of old
I thought they had been vanquished
In stories once told
To children by hearths, in homes
Radhe Shyam
At the end of the day
Come what may Radhe
Radhe Radhe Radhe Radhe
Oh Radhe Radhe Radhe Shyam
Oh Radhe Radhe Shyam
Oh Radhe Radhe Radhe Shyam
Oh Radhe Radhe Shyam
Radhe Shyam Radhe Shyam
Radhe Shyam Radhe Shyam
