Songs
Phil Headway
If you claim about being yourself
But they ask you to play someone else
If you don’t hear when they call your name
And you’ve got no reasons to explain
All your neighbors remain crystallized
Troops Three himself is mesmerized
He spreads those same words far and wide
Always seven hundred and fifty-two
.
The magic dust walks through the ducts
And then it fuses in the air
You think it’s good and suck it up
I just can say this is not fair
They make you sleep at nine o’clock
‘Cause wings don’t flap in ocean depths
And now you’re in an endless hole
I mean, in seven hundred and fifty-two
.
They sound like drizzle on the face
But arrows are shot from the inside out
I beg you, please, let go of this place
Don’t hold yourself to the comfort of the possible
.
When the sun goes down you will be called
In salute position you must stay
To suck in the night mist and forget
All the plans you had for the next day
Do you still believe in fairy tales?
Or do you keep biting all your nails?
Doesn’t matter actually what you think
‘Cause it’s seven hundred and fifty-two
.
How d’you find a cure for your blindness
When you need your eyes to find it
You even let them write your vows
Because tickling yourself ain’t funny at all
It’s time for solitaire, not solitude
Don’t be naive, it ain’t real food
The wall that saves you also holds yah
It’s seven hundred and fifty-two
.
They sound like drizzle on the face
But arrows are shot from the inside out
I beg you, please, let go of this place
Don’t hold yourself to the comfort of the possible
Phil Headway
I was sitting around
Doing nothing, like a hound
And then I realized there’s nothing I have not already found
On the ground
I know I wanna jump into the second round
Because I’m bound to make a sound that goes around a certain crowd
But hand me up
The clown is loud
.
I gave up on the potato
A little down I drove my car
And then I realized
I was in front of a bar
I squealed the tire, I lit the fire
I left the car behind
I crossed the street! Oh chit!
Now I’m a myth! Way to go!
The fish followed the flow
.
I have nowhere to go
I take a plane, mah bro
I wanna rock’n’roll
And you don’t know what I’m talking about
.
I am providing the 999
Where the magic goes around me
Oh! Nine is the only number showing on my clocks from now on
.
And I got a really great idea
I’m outta here, bye bye, I see yah
Maple neck
Yum, so delicious
I wanna play
.
Yo, I broke my guitar
To build a plane, mah lucky star
To get the hell out of here
But my idea didn’t work
So I called the nurse
‘Cause the needle takes away my fear
It brings me down
Out of town
Tho I lie
To be a brand new guy
.
Yeah
I bump into a seagull
I rub a navel, I hit an ego
Meet some people, have a giggle
Now I’m free to go
.
I get very angry
When I’m away
From the evil of my ego
Can I recreate an era?
I play the beagle, is that illegal
To go back to the medieval
For a meatball?
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na now
Just for a meatball
Na na now
Na na now
Na na noooooow
.
I have nowhere to go
I take a plane, mah bro
I wanna rock’n’roll
And you don’t know what I’m talking about
.
I am providing the 999
Where the magic goes around me
Oh! Nine is the only number showing on my clocks from now on
.
Oh! Nine is the only number showing on my clocks from now on
.
I have nowhere to go
I take a plane, mah bro
I wanna rock’n’roll
And you don’t know what I’m talking about
.
I am providing the 999
Where the magic goes around me
Oh! Nine is the only number showing on my clocks from now on
.
Where the magic goes around me
.
Oh! Nine is the only number showing on my clocks from now on
.
Where the magic goes around me
.
Oh! Nine is the only number showing on my clocks from now on
Phil Headway
I can’t go without
My caramel coffee in the morning
My laptop under my arm
Yeah, the corner table is waiting for me
and Riley took my order
.
I was not allowed
To step on Sparrow’s again
But as soon as I sit on the chair
I quickly start to feed on words again
We’re attracted to each other
.
The more I act from what I see
The more people move away from me
But if you wanna be free
You have to be yourself and take the risks
.
I am a rebel, feeling bright
And even-minded I don’t write it right
I am a rebel, feeling bright
And I see and a say, I’m a rebel writer
.
You know, once I heard that the true rebel is the one who, in addition to living as he believes, he encourages the people around him to do the same
.
I must confess
When it comes to women
I have my weakest points
After all it’s hard to choose between
So so many flowers
.
When I was a boy
I wrote a fable on the walls
But my father made me rub my scrawls
Either way nothing was lost
‘Cause I was writing my story
.
Mr. Sanders gave me a warning
I wasn’t looking at the blackboard, sorry
The birdsong caught my attention
More than religion education
.
I am a rebel, feeling bright
And even-minded I don’t write it right
I am a rebel, feeling bright
And I see and I say, I’m a rebel writer
And I see and I say, I’m a rebel writer
.
My brother Paul was so polite
Was always the good son
And now half-pint stays up at night
And sometimes he drops by
.
I am a rebel, feeling bright
And even-minded I don’t write it right
I am a rebel, feeling bright
And I see and I say, I’m a rebel writer
And I see and I say, I’m a rebel writer
And I see and I say
Phil Headway
There was a woman in the desert
Her shelter was her shadow
No clue of what was meant for her
Or the ruthless tomorrow
.
Lots of sand around this lady
The sun was burning her soul
The sharp wind cutting her eyes
She had nowhere else to go
No one to help her
.
Hell was by her side
And around she couldn’t see
You know you’d hope to die
.
But after passing out
She had a real dream
The sun became her guide
.
She took an empty bag
And filled it up with sand
She laughed and clapped her hand
.
No reason, another burden
Put it on her back
And now she’s back on track
.
Time flies and she now
Found a new place
Vegas with lights and grace
.
She opened the bag
But there was no sand
A fortune was at hand
.
Believed in faith and
Bet the casino
Gambled her life and
Luck changed it all
.
Sand became gold and
Gold became faith
What first made her blind
Now will save lives
.
This beautiful woman was really one of a kind
We all have many wishes inside our minds
.
Changes come through acts
Could be luck
.
Looking at the moon
And be thankful for the blessing we have had
For our Universe
Phil Headway
Once upon a time in a sleepy bay
There was a very envious tree
That was getting further and further away
Though she’s never left the place
.
She bowed so low to the god of sand
That she bended to the ground
Got stuck so bad in the Cursed Land
Even her branches grew down
.
An envious tree
She has no eyes to see
An envious tree
Her soul about to bleed
An envious tree
The pride has lost to greed
An envious tree
From drama to comedy
.
She creates even more roots
Getting caged in her thoughts
There’s no reason to wear boots
She’s writing her own thriller plot
.
I know she doesn’t fear the storm
‘Cause she’s already on the ground
A bird has landed on her crooked trunk
But it went unnoticed, she was drunk
.
An envious tree
She has no eyes to see
An envious tree
Her soul about to bleed
An envious tree
The pride has lost to greed
An envious tree
From drama to comedy
.
But one day,
In a short moment of sobriety
the tree asked General Sherman why she couldn’t see the sun
Her pal said “that’s a no-brainer, you were raised in the shadow of others”
So, with great effort, the poor tree uttered the following words
.
To grow and breathe is hard to me
.
Where is your mercy?
Try to understand
Try to understand
.
Have a little mercy
Try to understand
Try to understand
Phil Headway & Tutti Headway
Why can’t I believe, baby
In something fresh, new?
Or simply believe, yeah
In nothing for a few
.
Why follow millennia
That already are gone?
Are they by any chance here?
Do they live on their own?
.
Bars disguised as schools
Handcuffs as diplomas
And your failures wide open
In the blurred headlines, mama
.
Haters will love it
And lovers will hate
But I have to tell you
That you’re just a bait
.
Get ready to see it
The facade will succumb
He really will come back
But this time as a bomb
.
Say what you mean
If your wallet affords
Your sins are between
Just you and the Lord
.
They eat the bread
They drink the wine
Abhor the songs
Without a rhyme
How far are you willing to go to face
The cannies of truth
The cannies of truth
.
They get wool for the winter
Leaving the sheep naked
And afraid of the dark
She waits for her family
.
Today she decided
To paint herself gray
She went up and down
That was the only way
.
She lives in the middle ground
Where wondering is allowed
Now she has found out
The truth has no sound
.
They push you into temples
Scream hymns like bait
And deafen you
With their faith
How far are you willing to go to face
The cannies of truth
The cannies of truth
Phil Headway
Did you ever see the man that parks on the way?
Furry monsters
Furry monsters
.
The crowd all stopped checking what goes on in the wood
Nosy bastards,
Nosy bastards
.
After scrubbing the kitchen floor
You still left me dirty dishes?
.
And I promise to put the milk in the fridge
Don’t leave your (tail)
At the door
.
What kind of a man has never seen the capybara?
Capybara
Capybara
Capybara
Capybara
.
Don’t you dare to annoy me in my coffee break
When I spread cream
On the muffin
.
Who pushed the table back?
I did. To find the chess piece behind the couch
What the fuck!
.
Do you like to dive?
I’ll take you to the love beach sometime
So we can get a storm,
Warm up the car
Hold the bladder
And go back home pissed off
.
At least I survived
Did you? Did you?
I think you died
Did I? Did I?
What do you want to say?
You will be reborn in the next storm
.
To see the capybaras once more you gotta
Rewind the tape
Rewind the tape
.
To see the capybaras once more you gotta
Rewind the tape
Rewind the tape
.
What kind of a man has never seen the capybara?
Capybara
Capybara
Capybara
Capybara
Phil Headway & Maria Headway
My mirror has broken
And I don’t even know who I am
I still try to see myself
But see what I see
All my being is teared up
.
Maze pictures, its marks in me
That I can barely see
Sparks of hope spread on the floor,
And I refuse to step, aaahhh
.
Dotted floor by the glow that also falls
Of my now dim eyes
.
Shattered stories
Secrets flowing through scapes
Aaahhh, pieces in a row
Waiting for the certain fall
.
I can already imagine
The sound of a loud noise that I will
Have to put up in silence
The fading smile and the pain
.
For the emptiness it will cause
The poured tear, the hidden truth in the flaws
of a hollow frame
On an empty square on the wall
.
Dotted floor by the glow that also falls
Of my now dim eyes
.
Shattered stories
Secrets flowing through scapes
Aaahhh, pieces in a row
Waiting for the certain fall
.
That shall persist
Trying to find
The lost peace among the remains of myself
Stacked and forgotten
Lying around the house
Currently lying around
Phil Headway
Oh, delight
I love it when you’re by my side
Oh delight
I think of you and begin to smile
.
Come see the colors of my world
No worries, just have fun and spread your love
What is so wrong? You just don’t know what to say
So don’t be sad, tonight my band will play
.
Oh, delight
I love it when you’re by my side
Oh delight!
I think of you and begin to smile
.
Come see the colors of my world
So amazing that I’ll never let go
I start playing with my blazing guitar
Pretty things are gonna beat all the sorrow by far
.
Truly hoping, truly hoping, you could stay
‘Cause tonight this party is gonna rock it my way
Starting now and ending when night becomes day
You can be sure that everything is okay
.
Oh, delight
I love it when you’re by my side
Oh, delight!
I think of you and begin to smile
.
Come see the colors of my world
Come on baby, come come on baby, just have fun and spread your love
What is so wrong? You just don’t know what to say
So don’t be sad, tonight my band will play
.
Oh, delight
I love it when you’re by my side
What makes you leave?
If you stay, I’m gonna set you so free
.
So please stay, we’re gonna make love
Because tonight is the night to have fun
Oh, come on baby, everything is gonna be alright
When you enjoy yourself
Your life makes sense
Delight
.
Truly hoping, truly hoping, you could stay
Tonight, this party is gonna rock it my way
Starting now and ending when night becomes day
You can be sure that everything is okay
Phil Headway
Stay in line
Waiting for death
It won’t take long
Better get slaving
.
Believe in me
Life flows past
The blink of an eye
And everything is over
.
Your plans
Your dreams
Your family
Your friendships
.
It’s all over
No remains
Is this your story?
No one knows you?
.
Make the best use of your time
Choose for your life
.
Dream of the impossible
Looking for contradictions
Don’t wait for anybody
.
The one and only life
Is something wonderful that man ruined
From a lack of things to do
Eaten by power
Ruined his own life
And all of ours
Escape, disappear, forget
Your past and your crappy future
Phil Headway
His head is small for that crown
Why people thunder his name?
Like magnet they sneak around
The story is always the same
.
How can they praise that old clown
That takes them straight to the maze?
The temple is falling down
It’s getting harder to raise
.
And in this battlefield
Always bring my shield
You don’t want to meet the tip of my sword
.
In a brief sobriety
All of them start to sing
Treading hard and demanding respect
.
Don’t dude me
Don’t dude me
Don’t dude me, do me, do me
.
Don’t dude me
Don’t dude me
.
The mighty king seized the throne
He owns other people’s hearts
Their roots, their daggers and homes
Yeah, this is going too far
.
The towers that he possess
All in the name of a god
They’re rising full steam ahead
Robbery, bribery, fraud
.
Now I beat my chest
There is no time to rest
I don’t wanna be crushed by those doormats
.
Is there someone here
Who does not carry fear
And is ready to sing till the end?
.
Don’t dude me
Don’t dude me
Don’t dude me, do me, do me
.
Don’t dude me
Don’t dude me
Don’t dude me, do me, do me
.
Get used to it! That instability was caused by him. I can’t mention names but, ladies and gentlemen, a round of applause for the biggest liar of all time!
.
Now I beat my chest
There is no time to rest
I don’t wanna be crushed by those doormats
.
Is there someone here
Who does not carry fear
And is ready to sing till the end?
.
Don’t dude me
Don’t dude me
Don’t dude me, do me, do me
.
Don’t dude me
Don’t dude me
Don’t dude me, do me, do me
.
Don’t dude me
Don’t dude me
Don’t dude me, do me, do me
.
Don’t dude me
Don’t dude me
Don’t dude me, do me, do me
Phil Headway
I know who you are
I know what you want
You want to be glad and give up
Wrong time
.
We’re beat and we need
Our beauty-sleep
Our hustle overcame our boundary
.
Oh, you are beyond of us
Ah, you creep this tone of us
While you break apart of us
The whole of you will blaze
.
That’s the golden rule
Blasting all the brisk stars
Correcting the wrong
.
Oh, you need to belong
How did you break the heart?
How do you need to belong?
Time’s just freezing on
.
The role of a Dream Rider
Is to be apart of us
And also be aware of us
How did you take the time of us?
.
How you need the longer
Dreams about the right day
.
You who still can have dreams
And awaken still remember
Don’t give up dreaming those
Dreams you’ve had before
.
Even being a bad one
You can learn with it
Sometimes, you’ll have to dream
Again to change your mind
Phil Headway
It’s time to relax
Easy our minds
Dream about floating heads saying we’re ok
It’s time to wake up
In your personal dreams
.
Where you can cope and mend happy things
Dreaming you keep the tone
Dreaming you don’t get disappointed
Dreaming you can cry and it’s a reason to laugh
Phil Headway & Maria Headway
My vision is blur
Protects me from seeing
Clearly what’s ahead and inside me
I feel sick
.
The air is heavy
I’m about to explode
Blushed in shame
Of all the violence around
It’s a relief
.
My throat is bleeding
From reaching a note
Explaining the agony
That comes as a verse
I know
Most won’t listen
‘Cause it means engage
.
But I want so
To touch a heart that
Shares with me
This paint that blasts me
.
Have to say that
I burn like Earth and
The ocean was
Pacific in the past
.
Searching
For Peace, gotta tell mankind
Sorry
The glass is full of gas and
Pouring
The blood of innocent kids
Floating
On a boat in open sea like me
.
Earth cries for help
(I ask regardless of race or creed)
Electing clowns to rule
(As a giant wave moving ahead)
Even my throat burns
(Shelter to the homeless)
Man could hold hands
(Our nurturing mother Earth)
Bringing bread to the hungry
(To every man as a prophet)
Rebuild without harm
(I beg)
.
Look after our mother
She is the provider
Let’s raise a white flag
Unit under a single symbol
.
This flag units the lands
Sheltering our home
So it soon renews the air
For us to breath in peace
.
I was drops of rain
I could feel me fall
Now I just see pain
Tear drops on the floor
.
I was drops of rain
I could feel me fall
Now I just see pain
Tear drops on the floor
Phil Headway & Peter Headway
Hey my friend
The world is lost
Do we all have friends?
Or is it just a dream?
.
You turn off the fairy-lights
Forget the happy holidays
Stop closing your eyes
The view can be amazing
.
Don’t say “forever alone”
Don’t say “forever”
The dream is not over
You never gonna be alone
.
I can see
Your grace, my friend
The world doesn’t know yet
Am I dreaming?
.
But your dream came true and now
You have a song to prove
Beyond of your blink is hidden
The reflex of a great heart
.
Don’t say “forever alone”
Don’t say “forever”
The dream is not over
You never gonna be alone
Phil Headway & Maria Headway
You knock on my door and talk all the time
You see through my eyes, I need some time
If silence is my shelter, I’ll find myself
But you want me to sing, not now!
.
Sometimes I gotta scream, making noise and cry
I know, they sleep but one must wake up
I’m sorry I’m not fit to be one more
Too bad ‘cause I’m here to transform
.
I’m in this mess but I’m not in the procession
I refuse to become a number, can you get it?
I want you to know, I am a different piece
Being unique, each one has their value
.
My smile is my slogan, and yours?
I’m different, so what? Aren’t you?
I’m just passing by just like you
I’m not here to be the best, and you?
.
Sometimes I gotta scream, making noise and cry
I know…They sleep but one must wake up
What makes us differ? Is difference itself
Just like the fingers of a hand
.
The ones in front
The ones behind
You see I’m in between
Bottom line we are the same
.
Sometimes I gotta scream, making noise and cry
I know…They sleep but one must wake up
What makes us differ? Is difference itself
Just like the fingers of a hand
Phil Headway
I see the floating heads spreading their wisdom
The floating heads I have inside my eyes
I see happy things fade out because of him
You are the reflex of your dreams and lies
.
I am the music
And you’ll never be able to beat me!
Change! Again! Come on! Go there and explode!
.
I see “grinningly” taking charge of me
Where is the rider that I used to know?
I can’t feel my hands, formication stands!
Don’t let your heart freeze and fill with bleak snow
.
I feel my body losing strength!
Sarah! Sarah…Sarah…Sarah…
Phil Headway
Longer roads will take you higher
Can you hear the sound of fire?
No roundabout, don´t be a liar
They’re just that sparks of fire
.
Keep your balance on this wire
Can you feel the sound of fire?
Blow my candle and feel the fire
They’re just that sparks of fire
.
Found the fire
Found the fire
.
Gotta learn the role of fire
In our lives and our desire
Jump the hole, stay on the wire
Don’t be afraid you have the fire
.
Remember the sun is your supplier
You will never run out on of fire
Universe is now a choir
Faith in you, in life, in fire
.
Big balls of snow always grow
Great people know, way to go
Phil Headway
He has learned some good values
But not from his family
He has changed over time
And threw away beliefs
.
He makes hard things look so easy
Takes the sweet of bitterness
Showing that evil can bring you the best
Showing it is time to leave the nest
.
Like a diamond in the bride’s ring
he could be just a coal
Pearls are born from the pain
And I guess you know
.
Sometimes wrinkles do not mean
The wisdom that we have
Only the darkness of the old cocoon
Brings you the true meaning of yourself
.
He’s an eagle
He’s a diamond
Butterfly
He is a pearl
His hope shines like waves of a lake in the dusk
Singing Freedom of a diamond in the rough
.
He tried the apple and didn’t stop
At the first bite
Now the higher he is
The harder you see
.
It’s not easy
To be here
Dealing with
All this loneliness
Wouldn’t I be trapped in my own ideals?
Wouldn’t I be tied to myself?
.
He’s an eagle
He’s a diamond
Butterfly
He is a pearl
His hope shines like waves of a lake in the dusk
Singing Freedom of a diamond in the rough
.
I heard that freedom is juggling the plums
Even when ne’er thought about it before
He torn off his feathers
To renew his soul
Although he feels the pain
There’s no choice but let go
.
He’s an eagle
He’s a diamond
Butterfly
He is a pearl
His hope shines like waves of a lake in the dusk
Singing Freedom of a diamond
Freedom of a diamond
Freedom of a diamond in the rough
.
Butterfly
Diamonds and pearls
Freedom of a diamond in the rough
.
Freedom of a diamond
Freedom of a diamond in the rough
Freedom of a diamond
Freedom of a diamond in the rough
Phil Headway
Waking up alone
In the middle of the night
Trying to remember a song
.
Save a gecko from
an unwanted death ahead
But now you are away from bed
.
Sometimes we blame ourselves
When it’s not our fault
We’re led to believe the worst
.
Pieces on the floor
And everything’s a mess
But the riddle has now been solved
.
Goo Goo Girl
Goo Goo Girl
.
Being evicted from your home
Haven’t done anything wrong
Now you hold your mattress on the floor
.
See your uncle B
That returned from the dead
To his shoulders he let grow his hair
.
The moisturizer leaked all over
Your suitcase and your clothes
Pick it up and hydrate yourself
.
When you’re leaving home
A new band plays rock n roll
And you wake up to write down this song
.
Goo Goo Girl
Goo Goo Girl
.
When twilight falls, the little duck migrates to his sanctuary Where loving swans are dancing on the lake Like fairies hovering in the air He’s finally home
.
Going back to sleep
Now I close my eyes and leap
Wonder what is waiting for me
.
Maybe an RV trip
Maybe something deep
Or make love in the middle of the street
.
No matter what it is
Everything is poetry
Every little thing you live
.
Introduce it to your friends
To your crew and family
What a feeling to be free
.
Goo Goo Girl (yeah, the party’s still going on) Goo Goo Girl (and you have to go back) Goo Goo Girl (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Goo Goo Girl (uh)
Phil Headway
I’m in paradise
Every time I close my eyes
What else do I need? The sun is hot
I float in the wind in a G clef
.
My naked soul relaxes my body
The grass is greener, greener
Like I always wanted
Always wanted, the grass is greener, greener
.
It is a happy lawn
Gently sloping
It is a ramp of grass
The wind blew me to paradise
.
My naked soul relaxes my body
The grass is greener, greener
Like I always wanted
Always wanted, the grass is greener, greener
.
I am alone
But I feel the presence of all
Gentle breeze with the sound of the tide
.
And with the taste of a flower
I see annoying people
When I try to open my eyes
.
I’m enjoying nonstop
Why stop?
I’m floating
Between the clouds
.
If I fall let me know
Please let me know!
Phil Headway
When you will see?
We’re bound to disagree
And everything you were told
Will never be
.
But please don’t blame me
We’re trapped in our creeds
Indoctrinated machines
Fighting for feed
.
Living life by memories
Of who and how we you used to be
And now let go your history
‘Cause I’ve changed
.
They string us along
In fun they deliver guns
By putting words in a song
And germinating
.
The ears are spaced out
Refined sugar fogs around
I know the organic sound
Is hidden somewhere
.
Living life by memories
Of who and how we used to be
And now let go your history
‘Cause I’ve changed
.
I can’t afford
The war and stupidity
I prefer to stay in here
Here on the other side
Here on the other side
.
The real soldier was
The one who dropped his gun
And brought with him a whole
Band singing hope
.
Now, can you see?
The loveliness of a song
Is that the musician never
Writes it alone
.
Living life by memories
Of who and how we used to be
And now forget about the things you did just to be free
‘Cause we’ve changed
.
I can’t afford
The war and stupidity
I prefer to stay in here
Here on the other side
Here on the other side
.
It was driving me insane
‘Cause I have already been burned
In this hall of flame
And that was too long
Too long
.
I can’t afford
The war and stupidity
I prefer to stay in here
Here on the other side
.
I can’t afford
The war and stupidity
I prefer to stay in here
Here on the other side
Here on the other side
Here on the other side
Phil Headway & Maria Headway
Hey sugar, dancing in the night
And you keep falling on the roof turning it all white
I’m looking through the window to see the twilight
But inside
In my mind
Everything is empty, why?
I walk around and what do I find?
Every day I have to die
.
Liquefy (don’t you lie)
And then drying (you are right)
Pass me by? (don’t deny)
Butterfly (y’ have to fly)
Yeah
.
A flame is lit during winter
It seems like hell, only hotter
But nature is wise, its beauty is refreshing
Magic moment presenting
.
The falling snow in this place, my sugar
Now the snow melts and you fade
.
Oh, come on, you told me, Dream Rider, “you can”
You’re the one that I trust, and I sing:
You’re my best friend!
.
Hey sugar, tell me why you cry?
Your sweet tears melting from the roof and falling by
I’m looking through the window and now I see the light
It’s the sunshine
From the sky
Memories to liquefy
I walk around and now I find
Sugar wings, the angel can fly
.
Liquefy (don’t you lie)
And then drying (you are right)
Pass me by? (don’t deny)
Butterfly (y’ have to fly)
Yeah
.
You couldn’t listen and left away
Life took over day-by-day
Bringing along a bright white light, sunshine, yeah
Warning me that I’m awaking
.
All the magic was just a beautiful dream
That made my heart dream about love
.
Oh, come on, you told me, Dream Rider, “you can”
You’re the one that I trust, and I sing
You’re my best friend!
.
You’re the one that I, that I trust
You’re the best
Phil Headway & Maria Headway
I cried because I had the feeling
That I’m alone in this world
‘Cause I thought ‘bout the wars
And in those who starve
.
I cried today because I saw tears
In the eyes of orphans
Who always miss their parents
And the other way around
.
And kids over this reason
Can’t make anybody proud
.
Cried for the flowers that did not blossom
Because of the lack of light
For the crops that did not grow because of that
Phil Headway & Maria Headway
I cried for the impossible loves
And for the pain caused by the easy ones
.
I cried for the impotence of the weak
Before the omnipotence of the boss
.
Concerned only about the job
.
I cried for their unreasonability
For the dependency of the ones who will never be
Their own bosses
.
I cried today amid the crowd
When I observed people rushing through life
.
What are you rushing for?
.
Oh, I cried because I found out
That I was part
Of the crowd
Phil Headway
If your dreams are bigger than your income
And you don’t
Work on something that makes you feel awesome
Your butt is square and you don’t care about the symptoms
This is the sign you need to find that thing you’ve lost, bro
.
I bought ten thousand dollars with my credit card
So I could have some cash to buy time, that was hard
But I believe bankruptcy always lose to the heart
I can see clearly now there’s no reason to be in this war
.
I’m broke
I’m in a bad credit
But I just have started to live
.
I’m broke
I’m in a bad credit
I just have started to live
.
John wanted to be a famous actor
But then his
Father said he should become a banker
Now John is working blue behind a bulletproof glass
Forcing a smile ‘cause that’s the only role he has left
.
Well I
I took my last salary and bought the best guitar
Now, blue John calls me all the time
He wants to take my car
But man, I’m just trying to be happy as you
As you are
I’ll pay the next round, after all we’re part of the same star
.
I’m broke
I’m in a bad credit
But I just have started to live
.
I’m broke
I’m in a bad credit
I just have started to live
.
The story is always the same,
only the numbers and the ambition change
I gotta tell yah, boy
If you want to reach the Buddha level
You need to stop thinking about the well known devil
You know, the only thing that can bring you down is yourself
.
Dude you will regret forever
If you don’t be next to your lover
I mean, no full-time job should get above yah
You don’t guffaw eating farofa
.
Clean up your desk as you were cleaning the sky
You dug so sad but never wondered why
Now it’s time to face the music and leave all the lies
So just resign, do what you love and do it till you die
.
I’m broke
I’m in a bad credit
I just have started to live
(Yeah, baby, I just have)
I’m broke
(Oh, can’t you see I’m broke right now, baby)
I’m in a bad credit
(And I’m gonna show you)
I just have started to live
(I know you might like that, baby)
I’m broke
(So watch out)
I’m in a bad credit
(Yes, I am)
I just have started to live
.
I’m broke
I’m in a bad credit
I just have started to live
Phil Headway
I met this girl
And it’s forever
I don’t know why and how, I’ll never understand
.
We fell in love
The day we first met
No need to prove she can rely upon a man
.
‘Cause some of us would never reprimand their passions
Unlike them I know the importance of the core
.
You’re not alone, just take my hand
Come out and party
You’ll find your soulmate
Keep believing every day
Just look around
Someone is smiling at your dancing
The more you dance
The more you’re close to find your love
.
I bet this girl
Is kinda piping
The way she holds my hand
Reveals that she believes
.
That up above
There’s something greater
That always guides us to the best way to evolve
.
And some of them are hard to face and overcome but
This girl and I are here to buck you up and sing
.
Do not surrender to the sorrows
That the wind brought
Just as it brings
It also sends away from ya
.
Go, raise your glass and toast to celebrate your life, dear
The clink of each beer mug here wishes you the best
Phil Headway
I’m fellin’ down and out, baby
I’m going down
I can’t stand this place, baby
I’m going down
.
I’m traveling solo
Can’t you see?
I’m a street dog now, baby
You’re going down
.
That is the situation
With the music helping me now
.
That’s why I’m leaving home
To a better place where I can live with some respect, I say
My old owner will miss me a lot now, yeah yeah
.
I’m going to Europe
Sad but safe
I’m going to Europe
I must pray
.
‘Cause God always help poor dogs who lost their homes and need friends
And I hope that in that place people will be more civilized and don’t let things go down
.
What is the purpose of having a pet if you don’t care for it
So don’t be stupid or your dog will go down
I’ll solve this situation, I gotta hit the road
I’m going to Europe, I will hit the road.
.
They told me that street dogs there can even play in a band
I gotta a guitar and I’m ready to play, and say again
.
I’m going to Europe
Right now
I’m going to Europe
Right now
.
I gotta
Find who really loves me like my mamma in that place or I will go down
But it’s serious. I wanna move on and I wanna move on, and I want it right now
Right now
.
I’m going to Europe (to Europe)
I’m going to Europe (to Europe)
I’m going to Europe (to Europe)
Find who really loves me like my mamma in that place or I will go down
I gotta try…
Phil Headway
My little jelly bean
What flavor is your color?
Lemon, strawberry or jazz I don’t know,
Wanna taste you right now
.
Oh my little jelly bean
I am so lonely, call me
The only way to get inspired is
Hearing your voice
.
I wanna hear you sing
Besides I taste your flavor
Is it like grape, watermellon, please tell me
How colorful is your life?
.
I don’t even know the flavor of your mouth
I wonder if it’s sweet like
A fresh melon
.
Maybe you don’t know this song I made for you
Your name I haven’t written
Now you have to ask me
.
Little jelly bean
I know, you’re so fantastic
Honey, bee, bee, my jelly bean go
bzzz bzzz bzzz bzzz bzzz
.
Bean, jelly bean when
A cricket sings
The female comes to
Him and I will prove this
.
Bean, jelly bean just
Stay where you are ‘cause
I am about to
Meet you, please don’t run away, don’t
.
Bean, jelly bean when
A cricket sings
The female comes to
Him and I will prove this
.
Bean, jelly bean just
Stay where you are ‘cause
I am about to
Kiss you
Phil Headway
Somebody who dries the mignon
Somebody who reaches no tone
Somebody who forgets your name
And never fills up the ice tray
.
Somebody who sits on your table
To insult you in front of your wife
The silence can be your best friend tho
It’s better than pull up the knife
.
Somebody who’s leaving the waves
To surf the iceberg in the grave
.
Some people just go to church
Pretending that they “pay the price”
Deep down, they live on appearances
And never on the teachings of Christ
.
Some people just sneeze in the air
Some people mess up with your hair
Some people don’t listen to jazz
‘Cause they’re busy shaking their ass
.
Some people must shoot the breeze
‘Cause silence alone makes them freeze
.
Just taking my order
Just taking my order
Just taking my order
Please, don’t do that again
I mean, never again
.
Someone who denies the enjoyment
Believing this is serving God
They give the whole lot you desired
In order to kill you with fire
.
Someone who easily gets hurt
And don’t bother holding the burp
They don’t interact with your jokes
Kill the party, embarrass your folks
.
Someone who crabs a cut diamond
Someone who breaks the mustard cap
.
Just taking my order
Just taking my order
Just taking my order
Please, don’t do that again
I mean, never again
.
‘Cause I’m getting crazy
.
Someone who acts like a plebeian
And wants to be treated like a king
Someone who is never on time
And talks over you as you sing
.
Some people speak badly of others
They even step over their mother
Lie freely just to make a point
Gnaw your food, mess your house, smoke your joints
.
Some people will stress you at night
The smug begs to win up a fight
.
Just taking my order
Just taking my order
Just taking my order
Please, don’t do that again
I mean, never again
.
Please, don’t do that again
Phil Headway
Imagine you’re sitting around
Just breaking away from feeling down
Get the paper ‘n’ wipe you rear
Gotta make it nice and clear
.
Your neighbor’s eye will be in the bin
Don’t worry I did not kill him
Ripped out an eye from him
Eye, eye, eye, don’t bother
.
Repression will be always there
Not for long though that’s not fair
The reason for your nightmare
It’s only you, not the damn eye, yeah
.
Every time you go to bed
Imagination will go mad
Saw the eye that I just said
Eye, eye, eye, don’t bother
.
Turn off the lights
There will be someone by your side
Turn the lights on
Just a bath robe in sight, that’s all
.
I bet you just don’t wanna die
But risk yourself and never cry
Don’t you dare mess with what is mine
I’ll set you free, by me tha’ts fine
.
Your sins are gone as we expected
That’s what we call domino effect
This pile of shit just burnt my eyes
Why, why, why in my eyes?
.
You just took away all my pride
And I will never sleep tonight
It scares me to turn off the light
And lights on I still see the guy
.
I gotta learn to fight this fear
Because “D” day is getting near
That is good advice, I say
Eye, eye, eye, don’t bother
.
Turn off the lights
There will be someone by your side
Turn the lights on
Just a bath robe in sight, that’s all
Phil Headway
What if the world didn’t cease tomorrow?
Couldn’t I start taking care of my dogs?
Should I go visit my gramma in the Xmas?
Say that I love her for just one time?
.
Should I believe that the love is beating
And lives inside me and inside ya?
Just wanna ask you if tomorrow exists,
Will you forgive me for those words?
.
Leticia
Forget the fear
don’t be afraid of the dark cause I’m here
And I want you to know
That I wanna stay with you talking about the sky
.
What if the world didn’t explode tomorrow
Would you plant a seed in your heart?
Giving hope to all the people
Maybe a new tree could appear in your yard
.
Would you stop saying no for all the things?
Oh baby, could you say yes for this song?
It can be the last one you will listen to
Probably the last one I will do
.
Leticia
I wanna hear
You saying you’re fine, that your life is ok
Cause I’m staring at the time
Counting the seconds to see you, let’s go fly
.
This is my last song
Don’t care about the chords
I’m singing my melody
You know the world
Can finish tomorrow
Are you scared you haven’t lived?
.
But if the world doesn’t end tomorrow
Couldn’t you leave in the past all your sorrows
Would you give value to local musicians?
Because their job is giving hope to you
Phil Headway
You
Said you wanted freedom
You
Put people into boxes, you
.
True
Wanted to be a free son
While I’m here, abuse me
Grow up and fade away from me
How can you live behind the wall?
.
Do you want to be somebody? Take a decision
I know you wouldn’t do this so don’t you dare repress me, boy
.
You had the chance to be my brother
Choose to open your heart to me
You can cry on my shoulder
Just don’t think you’re as good as me
Phil Headway
I want to be a liar
To lie that I don’t love you
I want to be a star
To shine when darkness comes
.
I want to spread my wisdom
To find my way to your heart
I want to spread my wisdom
To sing stories of life
I want to be a star
To shine when darkness comes
.
The tunnel that
I want to build
Will amplify my voice
.
Cricket is lonely for a while
He will attract his good half
.
I want to build a tunnel
To make me sing very loud
I wait for this melody
To bring me next to you
.
I always had the dream
To become a famous writer
To spread around the world
That I have fallen in love
.
Every cricket has its day
The lonely cricket has a day in the sun
Every cricket has its day
He has a day in the sun
.
I want to be a liar
To lie that I don’t love you
I want to be a star
To shine when darkness comes
I want to be a star
To shine when darkness comes
Phil Headway & Tutti Headway
In my dreams I see
A new city to be free
From the illusions that were made by me
.
Where those people come and go
Raising up their bungalows
I can feel some sort of alchemy
.
When I was just a kid
No one dared to say
That I was born with magic eyes
.
They put me behind glasses
They put me behind bars
And now my heart is full of scars
.
You know, things are not always what they seem to be. Sometimes you have to think backwards to find hidden messages.
.
Buildings swallowed by the ground
Been a while, never found
I’ve got widescreen view from the balcony (and no TV)
.
Here those people only come
Trading guns for bubble gums
After all nobody fights for creed
.
When I was just a kid
No one dared to say
That I was born with magic eyes
.
And everything I think
I know it’s fruit of time
And time just makes me a fool and blind
.
Now I dream of fantasy
And my eyes will never see
Through those fogged up lenses, what a relief!
.
Beams of light pulled down the shade
Of this beehive that I made
My soul found its way back to the sea
.
When I was just a kid
No one dared to say
That I was born with magic eyes
.
The past already’s gone
And future is too long
Now I see beauty through my mind
Phil Headway
And when you say you can’t go on
Don’t give up
Every mariner
Miss the sea and freedom
Writing a song for you
In this hotel room
Waiting for our night of loving
And all the jazz jam
.
But there is always something
To worry about
Always someone dishonest and
So greedy
Finally they want your arm
And a leg
This time they lost and tonight I’ll
Jazz with my money
Phil Headway
Master, light up another one
If that makes you feel safe or amused
Master, Who I don’t wanna lose
I don’t wanna die, before I help you try
.
Plant flowers in the garden
Do the dishes from tonight
Sometimes go out to have some fun
Restart to walk around
.
Don’t you ever spit any blood
Flower of sorrow, I have a whole bunch
.
Revolution
Put down your cigarette
Run to your bedroom
Brake pictures from your groom
.
Revolution
A shoe is not enough
You can’t walk barefoot
You’re gonna die
.
I burned your cigarettes down
And the smoke is all around my house
I took things out from your garden
And already threw money away
.
Master, you told me:
Gotta cast away the damn mask of disgrace
Done what you told me to do
Showed myself, told the truth
And now I can see you, my master will die
Your pupil teaching you, what you taught him before
.
Revolution
Put down your cigarette
Run to your bedroom
Brake pictures from your groom
.
Revolution
A shoe is not enough
You can’t walk barefoot
You’re gonna die, you’re gonna die
I’m sorry to tell you, but you’re gonna die
Phil Headway
My dog,
I clear my mind when you’re sleeping
Why are you barking looking to the sky?
So, there is your love or a rainbow or light
Oh
.
My dog,
Tell me now, did you hear it, or smell?
Follow shadows, barking to yellow lights, so
Can I see through
.
Your eyes?
Please don’t lie
I wanna know
Through pretty eyes
Are the shadows
.
Oh, what a life
Never let go
Rainbow of my life
Just keep the glow
My dog
Phil Headway
Running into the dead of the night
I take good care of my soul
That’s the way you keep on living, alright
And forget where you wanna go
.
Now you tremble when you’re by my side
Your teeth already cracking
Where you were by my side
You Weren’t able to give the proper value to my fire
.
My heart’s not beating anymore
And it’s already too cold
So please deep freeze my heart
Suddenly as you did with me
Call your friends for a barbecue
Season, grill, cut and swallow
Phil Headway & Maria Headway
It doesn’t matter when I shut myself
And feel an outsider
In an absolute silence
Trapped inside
.
It doesn’t matter anymore
When I call your name
And you don’t hear
.
My van is my studio
And now there is nothing anymore
My van is my studio
And my head I left out
.
For me, not for you
Clothes don’t make the man
.
It doesn’t matter
Actually, nothing matters anymore
When the door doesn’t open
And the key doesn’t fit
And I stay here inside
.
It doesn’t matter when I shut myself
And feel an outsider
In an absolute silence
Trapped inside
.
And I wanna make sure that you get it baby, lemme repeat it, shall we?
.
It doesn’t matter anymore
When I call your name
And you don’t hear
.
My van is my studio
And now there is nothing anymore
My van is my studio
And my head I left out
.
For me, not for you
Clothes don’t make the man
.
It flies, rebels and echoes
When it heals the wound
From a pain that burns
You will see my nude
.
It flies, rebels and
Echoes, echoes, echoes, yeah
When it heals the wound
From a pain that burns
You will see my nude
.
My van is my studio
And now there is nothing anymore
My van is my studio
And my head I left out
.
For me, not for you
Clothes don’t make the man
.
My van is my studio
(My van is my studio)
And now there is nothing anymore
(And now there is nothing anymore)
My van is my studio
(Yeah, yeah, that’s what I’m saying)
And my head I left out
(And my head I left out)
.
For me, not for you
Clothes don’t make the man
.
For me, not for you
Clothes don’t make the man
.
For me, not for you
Clothes don’t make the man
Don’t make the man
Don’t make the man
Phil Headway
Elbows
Table
Head
Hard
Harsh load
.
You bruised your elbows
Against the table
Holding your head ‘cause it’s hard to bear your harsh load
.
Now scratch your cello
And get your marrow
But don’t you dare to present it to your fellow
.
For it’s a lone road
So leave your crossbow
Now raise your sword and be ready for the grim snow
.
Stop hiding
I know you’re here
And you know what?
Let’s go straight to the point
You know exactly what you have to do
but you don’t want to admit it because…
I don’t know…
It brings you the responsibility to face the truth
And deal with the challenges of the road
.
Inside the tavern
The hopeful woe yearns
A proper word brings devotees open to serve
.
They drop their bottles
And grab their weapons
Now your command makes the army stack some new skulls
.
You throw your halo (to put)
Your rusty elmo (and now)
Nerthus will guide soldiers to defend its farrow
.
Nerthus will guide soldiers to defend its farrow
Nerthus will guide soldiers to defend its farrow
Phil Headway
The new voice has just come
Bringing hope and shedding light
Spreading all around through winds and not by human hands
.
The mighty voice invites to think
And seeds of secrets in land
When the seeds finally start to bloom and then
.
Transformation is ready
.
From now on this voice
Will change lives, hearts and minds
Pure feelings and thoughts are counts in this new reality
.
The mighty voice is full
Of talent and honesty
Rhythm will turn on your brains and hearts
Turning on to dance
.
We are all listening to the same
Melody of love
And all those people tuned together
Dancing and kissing
.
Flower will blossom
It will be always spring, making love everyday
The new voice spread its power
And love is order of the day
The world is changed forever
The winds will never be the same
.
Did you get it?
What do you think about me?
The voice! The voice, baby! I’m gonna move you!
.
Please don’t fade away
Gotta go, can’t stay
Please just find a way
See you another day
Phil Headway & Maria Headway
Oh, if you could tell me where you went
After the 10 o’clock service for sure
You will send your wife for the Sunday lunch
.
At your mother’s house
There will be roast chicken
With a tasty stuffing
And lots of hormone
.
Oh, if you could tell me where you went
After the service because your mom
Missed you but didn’t show the tough bone you chew
.
Your wife, poor woman
Didn’t get, she was swamped
Too many diapers to change or wet panties
Rubbing too much
.
Tell me where you were
For sure handing out fliers
Or eating holy bread with some “sisters” (watch out!)
They say you can’t bite
So if it’s meat in holy days it might bleed
.
Glory, oh! Oh, glory, oh
Tell me more about your kinda glory, oh
.
How, how nice of you witnesses
Taking messages to the people
About fidelity
.
You are a sheep
From the lost herd
Where’s your shepherd, where was he?
After the 10 o’clock service
Maybe he’s choking on the stuffing
.
At your mother’s house
There’s too much to talk
I guess your wife is still there (go there! Go!)
The seven o’clock service is about to start
.
Oh, glory, oh! Oh, glory, oh
Tell me more about your kinda glory, oh…
.
Let me talk about it
Let me keep you down
Let me put you out
Let me call you clown
.
Let me hear you scream
You know what I mean
Let me scoff your team
Turn you into a teen
Phil Headway & Andre Thys
Do you think that I’m afraid?
I just want to keep my secrets
I can’t tell you anything
So tell me, what do you think?
.
Look into your pockets
And find a piece of my brain
It’s there ‘cause I hate you
And I wanna invade your dreams
.
OK!
It’s alright!
.
Now I am inside your head
And I’m drilling a hole in your soul
I’m a worm that sucks your brain
Showing the world who I am
.
Me, and you
We are the past of the Gods
Your door is locked
You gonna be sick forever
.
OK!
It’s alright!
Phil Headway
Hang out tonight
To get a jag on
Money for jam
That’s what you aim for
.
Dance at the prom
It takes two to tango
Horsing around
And getting attention
.
The engine of the jet
Is already warmed up
Into the sky
Gobbling some crabs legs
.
Table for two
Thousand of women
Feeding a crew
You’re catching a Philline, yeah
Yeah
.
Foil balloons
Swing over the garden
Outside in the pool
Bikinis are floating
.
Playing the fool
A little giggle, a wiggle of the hips
Only the breeze
Covers their bodies
.
Balk and cramps may come
But you stay strong
You know that a scratch is the reason you chose her
.
Make up your mind
Once in a blue moon
Hot jitter juice
You’re catching a Philline, yeah
You’re catching a Philline, yeah
.
Can I see through
Your bright eyes?
Hold me closer
My gold mine
.
Singing out loud
On the flamingo
And making out
In the gazebo
.
Or getting laid
As your coins are burning in UK
Feeling alright
Your commitment is to party all the time
.
Lions of rock
Cover the front door
Your butler is waiting for you and your madam
.
Where is your suit?
They know you are coming
Sharpen your claws
You’re catching a Philline, yeah
You’re catching a Philline, yeah
.
Can I see through
Your bright eyes?
Hold me closer
My gold mine
.
Got into the old cat fight
Yeah, now it’s too late
Got into the old cat fight
Oh yeah, baby, yes I told you so many times
Got into the old cat fight
Boy, it’s never too late to change your mind
Got into the old cat fight
Got into the old cat fight
I wanna hear you, I wanna hear you sing
Now you’re in trouble
Got into the old cat fight
I’m coming, I’m coming, I’m coming, uh!
Got into the old cat fight
Got into the old cat fight
Got into the old cat fight
Phil Headway
We all need these hands of fire
All across the world of science
Now, that’s when the play is over
Hanging lines are lost in time
.
See, our ability is beyond our mighty hands
The mind that gets the world
Can you feel your heart alter things and gonna
Change the energy of the world
All that was behind
Hidden in that line too
Will change the game of life
To show my child
Sensibility
Say what you care in the world
All you need, yeah!
.
Listen to my heart and see how it beats strong
That’s the proof that you keep me alive, and so
These hands of fire will transform all kinds of life
You can use’em for evil or good
.
It’s the reason
Pride and tools, pride and tools
Pride and tools, energy of the world
Energy of the world, energy of the world
Phil Headway
Oh this reason, pride and tools,
Pride and tools, pride and tools
Pride and tools, pride and tools
Oh this reason, pride and tools
Secret lady, I am a fool
Smile
.
I feel the hollow dark
Spreading your scream
Long gray fields shaken by the echoes, high
.
Trees dancing
Bending to the wind
They’re moving to the power of sound that shakes
.
Shakes the rocky shore
Phil Headway
Hollows are halls
Echoes all day
As my pineal gland
You roll in time
Have hope inside
Cricket will say
“Come out to play”
Feel the love in you
Answer my call
.
Must see through the veil
Your dreams can be real
More real than your life itself
.
Be aware to what we say
Listen to all of it
And your imagination will flow
.
Come on! Enter this grove again
Just pay attention, take care
The lyrics talk about “pride and tools”
We found in the bay
Phil Headway
Secret land
Do you know how I’m feeling surprised?
Like a big snow ball
Rolling and falling down
.
Secret land
It’s where crickets keep singing all night
Everybody knows the song
A reality we all belong
.
Secret land
It’s where crickets keep singing all night
Everybody knows the song
A reality we all belong
.
And the secret land’s a valley
I can see the grey field dancing
Heavy clouds give us a headache
I forget to breath so tense I am
Wolves are running after me
Branches will break, I’m falling
All this floating heads around me
The wolf is waiting and I’m going down
.
They are everywhere
Well, if I had to describe them in one word, it would be “mirror”
Ladies and gentleman, I’m glad to present you, the Floating Heads!
.
Everybody knows the secret
Everybody knows the greatness
Hidden in the acts we say small
The ride is more important than
The destination we have found out
Everybody wants this to man
Everybody here wants to say
Eagles must hit the hard stone
In order to grow the beak again
.
Secret land
Do you know how we feeling surprised?
Everybody knows the song
Rolling, rolling and falling down
.
Secret land
Do you know how I’m feeling surprised?
Everybody knows the song
Rolling, rolling and falling down
.
Secret land
Do you know how we feeling surprised?
Everybody knows the song
Rolling, rolling and falling down
.
Secret land
Do you know how we feeling surprised?
Everybody wants to fly
That’s the way we can make you rise!
That’s the way we can make you rise!
That’s the way we can make you…
Rise!

Her father left her behind
She put her feet back and forth
The little girl was only nine
She grew up without support
Now she has ninety degrees to rise
And forty-five steps to climb
.
A moody mother to scout
Two siblings crying out loud
For ages she milked the cow
And fed the chickens around
But something’s changing her core
A brand new town to explore
.
She has to get into town
She has to get into town
She has to get into town
She has to get into town
Now she has promised and vowed
And everybody is proud
.
In the middle of the farm
There’s nothing else she can do
Although she’s cozy and warm
Her heart is gelid and blue
The books were useful so far
But now the answers are in the garb
.
The moon advised her to leave
Even the winds gave her a push
But so hard was the grief
That she stayed behind the bush
Until she found her love
‘Cause now there’s nothing above
.
She has to get into town
She has to get into town
She has to get into town
She has to get into town
Now she has promised and vowed
And everybody is proud
.
I know
It’s hard to get rid of that voice in your mind, girl
I know
Because everyday I’ve been feeling the same
.
Oh girl, the journey has paid the arrival
And damage has turned into years
It’s easier to get to the source
‘Cause the flow of the river is made of tears
.
She has to get into town
She has to get into town
She has to get into town
She has to get into town
Now she has promised and vowed
And everybody is proud
.
She has to get into town (she has to get, she has to get)
She has to get into town (she has to get, she has to get)
She has to get into town (she has to get, she has to get)
She has to get into town (she has to get, she has to get)
Now she has promised and vowed
And now she ain’t coming home
Now she has promised and vowed
And everybody is proud
Phil Headway
The year was 1920
The country USA
They started improvising
Something they had never played
Years later in the 50s
The trend was on by the mates
.
Is it rock? Is it folk?
Is it jazz or is it blues?
I’ve got washboards and harmonicas
Tin flutes and kazoos
There is nothing I can not do
I make sounds with hollow bamboos
.
Skiffle, skiffle, skiffle is my name
And I dare you to try to play this game
Sol, la, si, do, re, mi, far away
Skiffle, skiffle, skiffle is my name
Why d’you always find someone to blame?
Skiffle songs will never sound the same
.
Wait, I’m just a humble herald
I’m the voice of a buried battle
And somebody speaks through me
I just feel, I don’t see
So what I need to do
Is to bring you back to you
.
Is it country? Is it bluegrass?
What’s your problem? Why do you ask?
I don’t fit in your labels
‘Cause my stage is now on the table
I kick cups, I drop plates
And every sound is in the song that I made
.
Skiffle, skiffle, skiffle is my name
And I dare you to try to play this game
Sol, la, si, do, re, mi, far away
Skiffle, skiffle, skiffle is my name
I’d better sing than try to explain
Listen
.
Wait, I’m just a humble herald
I’m the voice of a buried battle
And somebody speaks through me
I just feel, I don’t see
So what I need to do
Is to bring you back to you
.
And don’t ask me again if it’s a country song, of if it’s a bluegrass,
I don’t care
‘Cause I don’t fit in your labels
My stage is on the table
I kick cups and I drop plates
And every noise is in the song that I made
.
Skiffle, skiffle, skiffle is my name
(Ooh la la ooh la ooh la)
And I dare you to try to play this game
(Ooh la la ooh la ooh la ooh)
Sol, la, si, do, re, mi, far away
(Sol, la, si, do, re, mi, far away)
Skiffle, skiffle, skiffle is my name
(Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah)
Why d’you always find someone to blame?
(Skiffle, skiffle, skiffle is my name)
Skiffle songs will never sound the same
.
And now that you learned you can sing with me
.
Skiffle, skiffle, skiffle is my name
And I dare you to try to play this game
Sol, la, si, do, re, mi, far away
Skiffle, skiffle, skiffle is my name
Why d’you always find someone to blame?
Skiffle songs will never sound the same
Phil Headway
If something goes wrong
You listen a song
And soul fluids spill over your mind
.
When you don’t belong
Move on and be strong
Soul fluids spill over your mind
.
It’s true
The lies that you heard
Will never reveal if you laugh away
.
Soul fluids
Clean up your face when you cry
.
Attention my love
There’s something above
Soul fluids get into your heart
.
It’s hotter than sun
And will make you drum
Soul fluids get into your heart
.
The view
Is right there for you
I want to invide you to stay awake
.
Soul fluids
Are welcome to lead all my life
.
It’s true
The lies that you heard
Will never reveal if you laugh away
.
Soul fluids
Clean up your face when you cry
.
Soul fluids
Are welcome to lead
Soul fluids
Are welcome to lead
Soul fluids
Are welcome to lead all my life
Phil Headway
There is no time between what I am thinking
and what will happen here right after that
Cause when I think, you get my thoughts through your heart
Then it begins to beat in time of mine
.
I’ve got my ways
I pray for you ‘cause
I know you need
Some company
.
The only chance
To get into you
Is through the dreams
Telepathy
.
If you have something to say then you just sing
The symphony of the telepathy
In faith you make a small town reach the sky
And also you can simply change your life
.
I’ve got my ways
I pray for you ‘cause
I know you need
Some company
.
The only chance
To get into you
Is through the dreams
Telepathy
.
Oh yeah
I understand, they have forgot you here
And yeah
The little ant is all alone
Oh yeah
The blindness keeps you standing up
Oh, yet
You’ll never see the way I do
.
I’ve got my ways
I pray for you ‘cause
I know you need
Some company
.
The only chance
To get into you
Is through the dreams
Telepathy
.
But now my darling
The time is short
You must awake up
And realize
.
That all my power
I’ve already spent it
Today it’s planted
And you must bloom
.
Butterfly, you have to fly
Keep the flow my baby
Keep the flow my baby, baby, can’t you see?
Butterfly has to fly
Keep the flow my baby
Keep the flow my baby
.
The symphony of the telepathy
The symphony of the telepathy
The symphony of the telepathy
The symphony of the telepathy
Phil Headway
The answers are not in the needle
Not even in mind-blowing teas
To find the actual answers
You first need to get rid of these
.
The answers are not in big temples
No, it is not quite as you were told
Watch out, please, don’t bow to the gods
Made of wood, made of silver or gold
.
Sometimes your own mind will deceive you
Your mind never tells you the truth
Don’t expect me to give you the answers
‘Cause, baby, I ain’t got nothing too
.
The answers are not on TV
Not even in documentaries
The answers are not in support groups
Or in the so-called secret societies
.
Be smart ‘cause they’re not on your smartphones,
On Google or casual sex
Think twice before looking for answers by making love to your ex
.
Sometimes your own mind will deceive you
Your mind never tells you the truth
Don’t expect me to give you the answers
‘Cause, baby, I ain’t got nothing too
.
Why do you confess to the priest?
And why are you going to school?
Not even doctors can give you the answers
‘Cause they are looking for them too
.
The answers are not in bestsellers
Of dancing gurus acting like old rockstars
Their empty words are just fattening your minds
And they don’t know how to hold a guitar
.
The answers are not in harsh diets
The answers are not in the fridge
Don’t look for them in midnight muffins
It will never be just a smidge
.
Sometimes your own mind will deceive you
Your mind never tells you the truth
Don’t expect me to give you the answers
‘Cause, baby, I ain’t got nothing too
.
They’re not in your big dream house either
And they’re not in your expensive cars
They’re not in your job, your diploma or medals
In money, in parties and bars
.
Sometimes your own mind will deceive you
Your mind never tells you the truth
Don’t expect me to give you the answers
‘Cause, baby, I ain’t got nothing too
Phil Headway
The light in the mirror on the wall
Goes on the crossing of the three paths
The light in the glimmer of the dawn’s
A wick of all, a burning ball, a big old trouble
.
The riddle now is rented
How do we solve the gray?
The purple now is broken
The riddle now is rented
There’s no one to blame
.
Therefore you crave to sue your bimbo
Does the night show who you are?
Know the moon is not that far
Sober you ain’t cry
Sober you ain’t lie
Sober you might awaken
.
The light that is hiding from your love
Is just the rusty of your eyes and of your bad tongue
The light that is teaching you to curse
Is the illusion of the crossing of the three paths
.
It’s the light of the bright stars
It’s the light of the leopard in the dark
It’s the light in the breeze
Behind your big old cerebellum
Just below your hair, longfellow
Wear a cap, wear a hat, wear a helmet
Or even that large horn that you keep since adolescence
.
Don’t forget about the crossing of the three paths
In the middle of the cross they look the same
Look the same
.
Don’t forget about the crossing of the three paths
In the middle of the cross they look the same
Look the same
Phil Headway
In the heart of the turtle
Lives a beast of no heart
Where the soil ain’t fertile
Bleed the feed, breed apart
.
There’s a shadow of a grass hill
In the ends of the void
Underground is the castle
So he ain’t get annoyed
.
The stronger my faith
The gauzier my stroll
The better the days
The greater the hope
.
There’s a house with no window
Just below where you step
Creature, creature in limbo
Grabs you right in the gap
.
You must have a sharp blade
Don’t get lost in the mud
There’s a price to be paid
And his price is more blood
.
The stronger my faith
The gauzier my stroll
The better the days
The greater the hope
.
Heart of stone ain’t no soul, my friend,
Has an eye on the egg
Heart of stone in control
Bears an axe on the flag
.
The stronger my faith
The gauzier my stroll
The better the days
The greater the hope
Phil Headway
When I saw her cursed
Muddy and confused
Asking to return
To that bygone foggy view
.
Dust falls to the ground
Showing who we are
The lie will always fall
For peace or for war
.
All the famine of good songs
Has led her to believe
That her name and face belong
To another deck of cards
.
All the Village Fifty Two
Says the Madman Myth is true
How couldn’t be?
.
Everybody fears the fool
And up to now she has no clue
The Joker is me
.
I’ve been here alone
For so many years
Waiting for someone
To bring me back my tears
.
When I lost myself
All the music’s gone
Now somebody else
Is raising up my tone
.
And I know she needs my songs
As I need her sympathy
This combination seems so strong
But I don’t know if she will see
.
‘Cause all the Village Fifty Two
Says the Madman Myth is true
How couldn’t be?
.
Everybody fears the fool
And up to now she has no clue
The Joker is me
.
When I saw her cursed
Muddy and confused
Asking to return
To that bygone foggy view
.
Dust falls to the ground
Showing who we are
The lie will always fall
For peace or for war

Mom, help me
I need you now
Mom, help me when I need
I have no one else
.
Mom, cry with me
Motivate me
.
Dad, I miss you
You couldn’t stay but I have mom
Dad, I love you
Sorry I didn’t say
.
Son, I know you love me but I
Never let you, nor did I say
There was a block of ice between us
To break
But I’m not there anymore
.
If I were still here things would be
Much better
I don’t blame myself, it’s too late
I believe in you, son
.
Never lose your dreams
Never dare forget your friends
Never leave your mom and brother
Never dare forget I live in your heart
.
And I’ll always love you
And I’ll always love you so much
.
Mom, did you see it?
People can’t seem to live true moments
They don’t live them at all
Block the emotions and then regret
.
Mom, sorry if I hurt you
I don’t wanna die before I say
That I will be always there
There, there, there
Phil Headway
There is mystery in my lips
There is a sadness in my look
Big noises disturb my hearing
Even difficult to cry
.
I’m crazy, let me be
Go get a map to try to chance me
.
That’s the matter
Of my floating soul
Break the windows
Reason’s not a goal
.
Major pointer
Over my face
Sets time to find grace
.
Releasing initial vapor
That’s so hard, nobody sees
But when the stormy weather has arrived
Nobody is going to stop me
.
That’s the matter
Of my floating soul
Break the windows
Reason’s not a goal
.
Major pointer
Over my face
Sets the time to kill and cause disgrace
Phil Headway & Maria Headway
It was like a magic mirror
The calm sea in front of me
It could inner see immensity
Immensity of endless time
.
I alone in a simple small boat
Just hearing the splashing of the oars
Touching those high tide waters
Floating me like a bird in air
.
Now up there watching from the ark
Feeling the presence of a guide
Aware that nothing was to fear
It was just a sign outside
.
That incredible small boat
To the great ark would take me
It really was the sign outside
Beyond the canal I could see
.
The journey to the Promised Land
Had started already for so long
Just me the one who couldn’t understand
The power of my mighty guide
.
Now I know, never been alone
Not even when the veil
Covered my face completely
And darkness haunted me.
.
Now up there watching from the ark
Feeling the presence of a guide
Aware that nothing was to fear
It was just a sign outside

Tell me why
You are calling the crow
After seeing the flowers
Taking roots in the stone
.
Overfly
Get your ducks in a row
Because slowly the twilight
Will embrace all the darkness
.
Now, listen to me
Stop it
Wait a minute
Water hope
Water hope
Water hope
.
I will bring you smiles
And the beauty of the lily
With the sound of the hummingbird
.
So be wise
And silence your voice
There’s no need to explain
You can sing all the way through
.
In the sky
Sun goes down on that stone
But in somewhere it’s rising
Lighting up all the darkness
.
Come on
Stop it
Break it up
Carry on
Carry on
Carry on
.
I will bring you smiles
And the beauty of the lily
With the sound of the hummingbird
Phil Headway
If you say you don’t care for
The flower I picked for you
I’m gonna tell you
The flower will go to New York
But if you say yeah
I’ll send the flower for you
.
If you don’t want this flower
Don’t want this flower for you
I’m gonna rip it off
I would send it to New York
Now all the pieces
Will be put in the trash
Phil Headway
I get my pen and start with ability
As fun as it gets it started to write for me
Grown up, or kids, we’re all this melody
I play on my guitar, and I just let it be
.
Everything I hear on the streets sounds good to me
An engine running loud or the noise of and old tv (an old tv)
You gotta pay attention to the sounds you’re about to miss (I can tell)
Like that old and grumpy neighbor making a cup of tea
.
It’s melody
This is melody
It’s melody
This is melody
.
Using my guitar for me to show you how it is
To live the sound around you as you don’t expect to be (expect to be, expect to)
Getting on the plane, or the sounds of a bush being trimmed (It’s more than fun, it’s more than)
All those sounds go on and on as life is supposed to be. (supposed to be, supposed to)
.
All the noises and sounds must be valued and learned because they will turn into music, such a natural and beautiful melody.
What you know, what you know
I can teach you
I can teach you now, babe
It’s so simple, hahaha
You can do it
.
The accidental melody is what really counts to me (important, important)
All I have to say that’s really important is for you to listen carefully to my
Tunes as if they were those noises, baby I tell you with honesty
Everything I told you became this melody (this melody)
Phil Headway
It was just a big decoy
Living inside my heart, oh boy
Since the moment that I saw you
Just like a castle made of sand
Pulsed in the veins of my hand
But it really wasn’t strong
.
Fade away and left behind
Left overs of a song
.
It was just a big decoy
We were just our own toy
As soon as you turn it on
Everybody plays along
In a second it’s all over
.
We felt it was forever, but
It was not even closer
.
Tiny pieces
Lying on the floor
Good-bye, made us so sore
No way to look behind
.
Tiny pieces
Lying on the floor
Good-bye, made us so sore
No way to look behind
I miss what we used to have
And your eyes I can’t find
Phil Headway
Never mentioned that I need status or lies
Everything I want is to shake the world’s mind
Now you decide to give up on this fight
Doesn’t matter what I say, you always want to be right
.
To be right
To be right
Take the golden stars for you
To be right
To be right
All I wanna do is rock
.
Bro, watch your back, ‘cause the caveman’s outside
His punch is so strong he turns days into nights
Listen to me, don’t mess up with this guy
Know that you will lose because your ego’s too high
.
To be right
To be right
Take the golden stars for you
To be right
To be right
All I wanna do is rock
.
To be right
(To be, to be, yeah)
To be right
(To be, to be)
Take the golden stars for you
(Yeah, baby, just gimme my guitar)
To be right
(To be, to be)
To be right
(Oh, oh)
All I wanna do is rock
.
Rock
Phil Headway
The time passing by
It’s snowing outside
I’d like you to stay
I cry in this line
.
You travel through time
Either way I don’t care
‘Cause I know you’ll come back
Even when you die
.
I have lost my mind
Don’t know what to do
Since I was a child
I have loved you
.
I wait my hole life
To see you again
You won’t disappear
I’ll do what I can
.
One second you were there
The next one you were gone
How bad it feels to sit here, waiting for you
.
I have lost my mind
Don’t know what to do
Since I was a child
I have loved you
.
I wait my hole life
To see you again
You won’t disappear
I’ll do what I can
.
Travels in time
I don’t feel alone anymore
Travels in time
I can see, you live in me
Travels time
I’m not leaving you
Travels in time
Phil Headway
The waters keep his flame
To defend the humankind
He has the ocean in his name
And its color in his eyes
.
The wisdom of a master
And a vastness of mysteries
He hides some secrets that
Revealed may never be
.
The ability to teach for life
Half a word for a whole attitude
He influences the weather
All the beats and all the moods
.
Hey brother, we demand oceans
To balance our fragile ecosystems
Thank you, for your devotion
Now, my notes speak louder than words
.
The austerity of a father
And the soft heart of a son
He holds back extinct volcanoes
And ancient islands that were sunk
.
Mountain ranges and lost treasures
And shipwrecks, scrolls and fun
His heritage is fit for a king
But his spirit’s serviteur
.
And as salty as the words may sound
He is teaching you to be bolder
Because also it’s the salt
That takes the weight off our shoulders
.
Hey brother, we demand oceans
To balance our fragile ecosystems
Thank you, for your devotion
Now, my notes speak louder than words
.
If you live in his environment
You know he stores energy
So we better adapt or die
Don’t suffocate from so much heat
.
Sometimes he is pacific
And sometimes he is rude
Bathes the seas of San Francisco
Born in downtown Hollywood
.
And despite dancing MJ,
He stays behind the scenes
There’s a way to his mannerisms
That you’ve never seen
.
Hey brother, we demand oceans
To balance our fragile ecosystems
Thank you, for your devotion
Now, my notes speak louder than words
.
Louder than words
Louder than words
Louder than words
Louder than words
Louder than words (louder, louder, louder than words)
Louder than words (louder, louder)
Louder than words
Phil Headway & Maria Headway
What do you want?
You can say
You gotta feel, listen
To understand you any day
.
What do you want?
You can demand
Ask what you want
Everything for you is abundant
.
You’d better look out
Because you may get afraid
Suddenly you gotta face
A damn shadow
.
Would you like to become a ghost?
Ask for hitting the ground or stand
You can be lucky if you make a choice
But you have to demand
.
Said the Lord in pray
That when you have faith
Everything can change
Even if the thoughts are strange
.
You’d better look out
Because you may get afraid
Suddenly you gotta face
A damn shadow
.
You can have what you want
You can be what you want
Be successful, reach a star
And shine like a brand new car
.
Would you like to become a ghost?
Ask for hitting the ground or stand
You can be lucky, if you make a choice
But you have to demand
.
Said the Lord in pray
That when you have faith
Everything can change
Even if the thoughts are strange
.
You’d better look out
Because you may get afraid
Suddenly you gotta face
A damn shadow
.
And in blink, just have to believe
No matter on what you believe
That’s how things are supposed to be, dude
There are no blanks between evil and good
Phil Headway
If you think about moving
Don’t live in between
.
If your soul is shaking
Just go for your dreams
.
If you’re in love with somebody
Jump in, darling, please
.
If you wanna get married
Get down on your knees
.
When I try to be myself here
And forget my broken heart
That archenemy reminds me
When I try (when I try)
.
Baby, I need to remember
That I can get very far
When I try
When I try
.
If you feel like dancing
No need to be drunk
.
But if you wanna go camping
The tent’s in the trunk
.
If you wanna go fishing
Just drive till the lake
.
And if you feel like sleeping
Lay down, take a break
.
‘Cause your body talks to you, dear
Be aware, don’t ask me why
I remember everyday
When I try (when I try)
.
If I’m sad I just go after
what I need and I’ll be fine
When I try
When I try
.
If you are unhappy
Just leave the routine
.
And if they treat you badly
Chill out, leave the scene
.
If you are despairing
Go under the shower
.
If you feel insulted
You’re giving them power
.
If you’re not inspired
Just go for a walk
.
If you have a good plan
Run after, don’t talk
.
If you’re chasing joy
It’s already here
.
If you’re feeling hungry
Dive in, make a feast
Phil Headway
Why do you hear me
Maybe not
My pure feelings
Are put off
.
Why do you stay here
But you’re not
.
Why do you get me
Get me not
Pay attention to my work
I’m just trying to show
.
While you listen
You might learn
.
Why do you hear me
Listen to my soul
Fast you broke me
Without saying a word
.
Why do you hear me
Understand my soul
Fast, I say, you broke me
With no fucking word
You killed the hope
The hero is down
Phil Headway & Maria Headway
I’m working for freedom
For all the streets
.
Think about it baby, do you like a song about the pain?
Cause I hope that you invite a friend to cry and just remain
And this song you know, the moon is going out of you and dies
And before you know, the sun is shining and now the moon just cries
.
You’re running out of time
To see me pass by
Don’t wait too long, for thus
Time will stop for both of us
.
Because clouds disappear in a full moon night
Don’t lose the sight
You might get lost
.
You’re running out of time
I’m still here but my solo is about to end
Your time turned into sand
.
I can’t standing the way again
I can’t standing the way again
I can’t standing the way again
I can’t standing the way again

You fight against the loneliness and die alone
You fight against the loneliness and die alone
You fight against the loneliness and die alone
You fight against the loneliness and die alone

Sowing ember, filling the barrel
Bourbon prior to charcoal mellow
Glamour’s a delusion to gamble
So move along on the one chosen road
.
Yeah, you put yourself on the road
You put yourself on the road
Now you know that a dandelion is blowing the wind
You got into the flow
You put yourself on the road
.
Now you’re in the well of the shallow
Waiting for a wombat to get up
Wonder why you hold up this mad load
So pack your bags, leave your home and just go
.
Yeah, you put yourself on the road
You put yourself on the road
Now you know that a dandelion is blowing the wind,
You got into the flow
You put yourself on the road
.
So, now listen to me
This is the day you’ve been waiting for
Don’t waist your time
You have to live your purpose because the world is yours
.
You have to leave your fancy kitchen table
To have your breakfast in a motel room
You better run to grab a better label
‘Cause you don’t wanna live your life out of your purpose
.
You put yourself on the road
(You better put yourself on the road)
You put yourself on the road
(Don’t waste your time, you have to go)
Now you know that a dandelion is blowing the wind
You got into to the flow
You put yourself on the road
.
You put yourself on the road
.
You put yourself on the
You put yourself on the road
You put yourself on the
You put yourself on the road

Your fellas are coming for Christmas
To share flames and stories of love
They ain’t got no money for presents
But always bring joy and eggnog
.
They picked up some branches and pine cones
To decorate our front door
In this way we are brewing memories
Tomorrow I know we’ll want more
.
Dress up and prepare your piano
And dust off the old songbook too
They all know how to play the banjo
You know all they’ve got is the blues
.
Your fellas are coming for Christmas
They bring sugar cookies and gingerbreads
And sing catchy songs about Santa
That never get out of our heads
.
They will never judge you for telling
Your so many secrets about the moon
They are always humming warm poems
And wishing your soul dreams come true
.
The blizzard might get even stronger
And yet they go caroling outside
In moonshine will always be room
For those who can’t carry a tune
.
Your fellas are coming for Christmas
To share flames and stories of love
They ain’t got no money for presents
But always bring joy and eggnog
They always bring joy and eggnog
They always bring joy and eggnog

See
.
The sounds seem a little low but live
Weird brothers who don’t know the rime
Gonna teach you about the real life
Ah, I’m your brothers now
.
Sad
.
Too wrong to undo such a lie, ah
Don’t you lie over, and over to me
And then realize and uncover
.
The road for you to ride and fly is other
The road for you to go’s the same I do, have to say
Look around you, see what my friend?
Do you want me to go?
.
I listen to you
Missing the tone
So wrong that you have got to go
.
See, my brother now
You’re my brother
See, my brother now!
