No Right

How come I have so much to offer, but nobody wants to hear?
How come I've been so understanding, but nobody takes me home?
There is no right, there is no right, there is no right, just wrong
So I have to put it in a song.
Money doesn't make you feel that free, I'm sick to death of it
Sometimes I only want to bleed, and that would be the end of it.
There is no right, there is no right, there is no right, just wrong
So I have to put it in a song.
The days pass me by, I don't understand it
I've traveled everywhere, I can't find the climate
The climate I like
The climate I like, for love
The climate I like
The climate I like, for love
Don't talk to me now, as if you understand me
I've always had my dreams, now they're all behind me.
There is no right, there is no right, there is no right, just wrong
So I have to put it in a song.
There is no right, there is no right, there is no right, just wrong
So I have to put it in a song.

They say it's a passion
I know it ain't true
They want it to be so clear
But all I want is you
What is life but a story
Of the things that we do.
[chorus]
There's something, is it singing?
Oh no it's a telephone ringing
And I know that it could be you.
I'm writing in darkness
'Cause it's something I want to do
They see me and want answers
But I'm dreaming of you
What's a song but a story
Of the things that we do.
[chorus]
You feel it's important
To understand the world
They feel it unnecessary
To be involved with songs and words
What is life but a journey
And I'm travelling with you.
[chorus]

Turning on passion for the play
The game of life is turning your way
Playing your part it's something new
Diving for pearls, it's something to do.
Isn't life about tears and meanings?
Building bridges and healing feelings?
Calls to answer and cheques to write
Paypal bills keep you up all night
Keep you up all night
Keep you up all night
Paypal bills keep you up all night.
It's all so predictable
It's all so predictable
It's all so predictable
It's all so predictable.

The Turning

You make your choices, you might get over them,
And now there's wonder in your eyes,
You'd like to rest now and see the falling leaves, you sigh,
You wait and then you cry:
Two hearts are - turning on electric
Two minds are - tuning in eclectic
Don't want you to be too cruel
Don't want you to be the Devil's Fool
Just want to be so cool
Just want to be so cool with you.
And now the night falls; you feel at peace again
You hold my hands and then we fly.
We feed and laugh now and disappear into the night,
Hiding from the light.
Two hearts are - turning on electric
Two minds are - tuning in eclectic
Don't want you to be too cruel
Don't want you to be the Devil's Fool
Just want to be so cool
Just want to be so cool with you.

Too many recipes
Too many underlings
Too many broken homes
Too many broken bones.
You see I'm calling now
And there are no sacred cows
You've got me and I’ve got you
Communication, Love and Truth.
Society magazines
Society, what does it mean?
Society, society loans
Selling dreams and piles of stones.
You see I'm calling now
And there are no sacred cows
You've got me and I’ve got you
Communication, Love and Truth.
Night-time energies
Night-time beauty queens
Night-time, nightmare world
Terror and truth unfurls.
You see I'm calling now
And there are no sacred cows
You've got me and I’ve got you
Communication, Love and Truth.

The Man in the Moon has a bullet in his eye
Might just be a French thing but I don't know how he's gonna cry
You tell me that it's real; you tell me that you want to fly
But you're doped up on emotion and you can't tell the Earth from the sky.
You've got a lot to answer for
You've got a lot to answer for

So far... so far...
Too much television makes my brain turn to stone
I can do without disasters and vital operations in the corner of my room
You talk to me in riddles whilst I work my fingers to the bone
The only things I want exist within the walls of the castle that I call home.
You've got a lot to answer for
You've got a lot to answer for
You've got a lot to answer for
You've got a lot to answer for
So far... so far...
And now that you can't hide ... no lie
I tell you that it's time to say goodbye.

This ain’t the rain
This ain’t the sun
This ain’t anything I’d give to anyone
This is just another time and place to be.
You see the sky crack and the rain fall
You hide inside waiting for a phone call
There ain’t no fun no summer sun
The street is flooded and the trees fall.
This ain’t the rain
This ain’t the sun
This ain’t anything I’d give to anyone
This is just another time and place to be.

Credo

Dreams are images of other times
Looking back at those you know
Those you know.
Passion is a human crime
It becomes your credo
Your credo.
There’s no reason
No wrong
No gifts required or ancient songs
All you do is sign below … just sign below.
Playing catchup in other towns
The heart it makes the rules
Makes the rules
Heading for a second shakedown
Chasing out the fools
All the fools.
There’s no reason
No wrong
No gifts required or ancient songs
All you do is sign below … just sign below.

Turn The World Back

There’s a place here, where I go when I’m feeling low
There’s a time here, a time where I want to go
Can you hear me; don’t you hear me call your name?
Won’t you join me, where it’s safe and there’s no more pain?
We all want the sun, but all we get is rain
We all want to live, without playing other peoples games.
Please turn the world back
Please turn the world back
Please turn the world back
To a better time, a better time.
Nobody wants to run from the friends they’ve made
But you see them, sitting alone and afraid
Just one moment, is the difference ‘tween Heaven and Hell
Let us not go there. . . Oh my God we could do so well!
We all want the sun, but all we get is rain
We all want to live, without playing other peoples games.
Please turn the world back
Please turn the world back
Please turn the world back
To a better time, a better time.

John Joseph Dolan recommends:
Such a great artist with a contemporary jazz sound. Cool music and fantastic to see live.

Great song writing and production. Kate Stables songs work as solo acoustic numbers but the band arrangements just lift the songs to a different level. Something new to hear each time I listen.
