Subject A by Subject A (words Bardwell / music Sartain)
I don't understand
I don't understand
Hammersmith Hospital
Was a hotchpotch of buildings
Put up at various times
And it sits to the side
Of a long straight road in a
West London
Maybe I should find out
About the sufferers
Constructed in 1912
An elegant orange red building
With 64 huge sash windows
And topped by a clock tower
Show you
Show you under the moonlight
But you just see my friend
Lets say it's a man, we'll call him Subject A
I don't understand
(eternity, and still I don't feel right)
I don't understand
Maybe I should find out
(one with the universe)
About the sufferers
All sense of time
Maybe I should find out
(one with the universe)
About the sufferers
I won't be able to tell you 'til tomorrow
Or the next day
Or yesterday
A few experiments of this kind
That has been carried out
And the effects can last
You're quite some time
Subject A
Sufferer you might say

The Sufferers

words Beale/Bardwell
Its been too long my friend
Lying quiet and silent
Time to shake it up again
Democracy is just an illusion
Politicians and all their confusion
Austerity affects only the masses
Separates us from the ruling classes
Democracy is just an illusion
Politicians and all their confusion
Austerity affects only the masses
Separates us from the ruling classes
The sufferer in their everyday life
Full of struggle trying hard with all their might
To exist to see another day
Doing all they can come what may
The sufferer in their everyday life
Full of struggle trying hard with all their might
To exist to see another day
Doing all they can come what may
There is work to do
The reggae train is coming
To find you
Big you out

Hiding Place

Words Bardwell
I found a place
Where I can go where you don't know
Come out of your hiding place
Let me see you
Hiding place
Where there is no trace
Cos you thought I was gone
But I'm back
That's right
Come out of your hiding place
Let me see you
There is work to do
Hiding place
Where there is no trace
Underneath the moonlit sky
No work, just rest and play
To find you
Big you out
Pop-A-Top beat coming back up
Cos you thought I was gone
But I'm back
That's right
Come out of your hiding place
Let me see you
There is work to do
Hiding place
Where there is no trace
Underneath the moonlit sky
No work, just rest and play
In my hiding place
Where there is no trace
A message
Hiding place
Where there is no trace
Underneath the moonlit sky
No work, just rest and play
In my hiding place
Where there is no trace

There For Me Too

|

words Sophia Bovell / music Sartain
You said you'd be there for me too
But I know it's all lies
You said you'd be there for me too
You said you'd be there for me too
But I know it's all lies
You said you'd be there for me too
It's all lies, all lies, all lies, all lies
I can see that you're lying to me baby
I can see through your lies
See through your lies
See through your lies
See through your lies
It still remains....

The Happenings

Words Bardwell / Music Sartain
I'm going to focus now on today
A smile that brings
A child that sings
Said I'm going to focus now on today
The smallest things
Think of the happenings
I'm going to focus on today
The smallest things
Think of the happenings
The here and now is not tomorrow
The smallest things
Think of the happenings
Concentration can go astray
Said I'm going, I'm going
Said I'm going
Going
Going
I'm going to focus on today
Smile that brings...

Sleepwalkers
04:10
|
|||
words Beale / music Sartain
Sleepwalkers, you will see them
With their mobile in their hand you'll always find them
Sleepwalkers and selfie takers
In the towns and the cities you will find them
In this modern age of technology
The people have so many gadgets
Some can't even operate TV remote
But you see them a flex with i-phone what a joke
Sleepwalkers, you will see them
With their mobile in their hand they'll always find them
Sleepwalkers and selfie takers
In the towns and the cities you will find them

Months Of Freedom
02:43
|
|||
words Bardwell
A few months of freedom is all I ask
A few months of freedom is all I ask
Down south
That's right
Big you out
Easy!
Education, realisation
That time has passed
A few months of freedom is all I ask
A few months of freedom is all I ask
Food on my mind with fast
A few months have passed
Come the autumn and I will feed them
A few months of freedom is all I ask
A few months, a few months of freedom is all I ask
A few months, a few months of freedom is all I ask
A few months of freedom is all I ask
A few months of freedom

Unicorn 1

|

words Bardwell / music Sartain
The world looks
Looks different from here
I've seen things
All lost
In moments in time
Like tears
Like tears in rain
You might hear me
See me
Look for me
No goodbye
In the colourful sky

I Found A Place
03:54
|
|||
words & music Bardwell
I found a place
Where I can go, where you don't know
Where you can't find, find my mind, find my mind
Where you don't know
Where you can't find me
But I'm here, but I'm here
When I need to sleep, need to sleep, need to sleep
I found a calm place
Where there is no trace, of the here and now
The troubles, and the thoughts, cluttering my mind
I found a place, where you don't know
Where I can find, find my mind, find my mind
Where you, where you, don't know
Where you, where you, can't find
But I'm here, when I need to sleep
I found a calm place, where there is no trace
(where there is no trace)
Of the here and now
(troubles and the thoughts)
Cluttering my mind
I found a place, where I can go, where you don't know
Where you, where you, can't find
My mind, my mind, my mind
Where you, where you, don't know
Where you, where you, can't find
My mind, my mind
Where you, where you, don't know
Where you, where you, can't find
My mind, my mind, my mind
Where you, where you, don't know

words Sophia Bovell
Voice Heather O'Neill
You said
You'd be there for me too
But I know its all lies
You said
You'd be there for me too
But I know its all lies
All lies
You said
You'd be there for me too
