There's a big deal made these days
About ****** harassment at work
And quite rightly so
Who needs a heavy breathing half-wit
Slobbering over them at work?
Or anywhere else
If it comes to that

But I remember a time
Oh what a time
When I started work in the sixties
As a bobbin boy in the mills
And when mill girls
Were wild wild women
And we were their targets
We became swift of wit and feet
Very quickly

And I remember clearly when
Dear old "Make 'em 'ave it Phil" Doris
Grabbed Dougie Hibbert on his own
Hiding in the bobbin racks
She put his **** in a milk bottle
Then horned him up so he couldn't
Get the **** thing off
Then shouted everyone
To come and see

He can tell when your soul hurts,
So out with positivity he bursts.
He lights a way with fire burning brightly in his eye,
He reaches for true success, he can since when they lie.
When he wants something done he'll make it happen,
He even stays fit around the track you'll find him lappin'.
He doesn't believe in slackin'
So he works right, and that's why his money be stackin'.*

He asked me why I liked him
I've never been asked that question before I thought
I just stared out the window quickly reflected but my words never rejected
♫♫♫♫♫
I wanted to tell you
I loved your persistence you never made me feel the distance
I wanted to tell you
I loved your taste of music in the morning I never thought you were boring
I wanted to tell you
I loved how you'd get excited to see new gravels I wanted to go with you on all your travels
I should have told you
I loved the way you kissed me upon that rock I never felt more free
Then I thought why does he even like me?

What's stopping you from doing what you're aiming for?➳
Who keeps closing the door?
Have you ever tried with all your will,
Then found yourself completely still?
Is it lack of money?
Or is my life so sad, it's funny?
Are you running out of time?
Or have you simply lost your mind?
- Who's stopping you from getting your **** done?
-But then you hear the music, and realize it's time to have a little fun.*☮

Oh how I wish, we all could go back to the days
when our thoughts were magical,
and we didn't think so logical.*

She says always do your Best
She says this life is a Test
She is the mother of the Nest
She loves us all the Same
She's too good for Fame
She gave me my own Name
We all wish we could repay her
She won't take diamonds or Fur
It's Kindness and Words She'd Prefer

Laying here in bed I can't feel anything, I swear I'm better dead
My body is Paralyzed by the love we shared, so much was said
But I hear a tune, ringing in my head
So I pick up that un-touched guitar
and I fall back in Love instead
What do you know, I found my medicine* <3

He said,
"Our love will stand the test of time."
If you asked me I'd say,
"All his words shoulda been a crime."

Foolishly, I gave him the account to my heart.
I let him type the password, then he forgot.  
"911 I'm locked out."
-Someone come help me out.

The Leaves are falling, but I must leave.
The Bees stopped being, but I must be.
The air has grown cold, yet I hold.
The keys to unlock, the door for my New Clock.

"If I had the man for me,
He would be out of this World,
He'd taking me dancing,
and around the Plantes we'd Swirl,
I could be his Wanderlust girl,
Together we could inhale the Galaxy,
We'd see the Universe,
Like New York from a -Taxi"*
