In hard times

In hard times

We do what we do

We keep it alive

We make it come true

In hard times

When everything goes wrong

We'll keep it together

Or write it in song

In hard times

True love will arise

In many different ways

Along with sun rise

In hard times

We can all relate

We do stupid things

And get in a state

In hard times

We all mess up

And say the wrong things

And don't give a fuck

In hard times

As some of us fly

Straight of the handle

And just want to die

In hard times

Even true love

Comes under scrutiny

With the powers from above

In hard times

We do what we do

To stay alive

Because its what we do

The Artists Way

 

What do you know?

What do you do?

In this life

Which is true

 

As we break the rules

Upon the street

To live life

Without defeat

 

Banging your head

Against the grain

While creating magic

Thats in sane

 

But it is true

With no way out

As we rise and fall

And know what lifes about

 

Hoping for better times

What would you do?

Would you give up?

Or carry on too

 

While trying to better your self

No matter what

In life its self

Or maybe naught

 

Well who cares

As long as you know

You are that artist

Who will never let go

 

Of your dream

To be the best

Because this is real life

Which is one big test

 

With no first prize

In what you do

Except that feeling

Thats deep in you

 

So stand and be counted

Please have no fear

And one of these days

Will start a new year

 

As people read your words

And see what you do

Then maybe something will happen

That will change your life too

 

As your career takes a right turn

And blossoms over night

As the masses go mental

For what you simply write

 

With overall enjoyment

Because of who you are

For are that artist

Who has the power

 

To make people listen

To what you have to say

So never give up

No never no way

 

 

 



I was saying

I was saying what I wanted to say

When I wanted to say

When I wanted to say it

I was doing what I wanted to do

When I wanted to do

When I wanted to do it

I was being what I wanted to be

When I wanted to be

When I wanted to be it

I was playing when I wanted to play 

When I wanted to play

When I wanted to play it

I was going around from town to town

Doing all the things completely sound

Even though I was on the ground

Spreading my words all around

Going here going there

Doing all the things oh yes I swear

In a way that's totally fair

Because I know I really care

I was saying what I wanted to say

When I wanted to say

When I wanted to say it

I was doing what I wanted to do

When I wanted to do

When I wanted to do it

I was being what I wanted to be

When I wanted to be

When I wanted to be it

I was playing when I wanted to play 

When I wanted to play

When I wanted to play it

I was finding it tough sure enough

Because I looked really rough

In a way that calls no bluff

Even though I knew my stuff

Getting into fights being polite

It one of those things day and night

Even though I was always right

Until I seen the bloody light

I was saying what I wanted to say

When I wanted to say

When I wanted to say it

I was doing what I wanted to do

When I wanted to do

When I wanted to do it

I was being what I wanted to be

When I wanted to be

When I wanted to be it

I was playing when I wanted to play 

When I wanted to play

When I wanted to play it

Then all of a sudden the people did stop

Because I wasn't singing any old pop

With loads of booze give us a drop

Or a bottle so I don't stop

In words of rhyme line by line

Come join in any old time

Through the darkness to the sunshine

With a zoot that is fine

I was saying what I wanted to say

When I wanted to say

When I wanted to say it

I was doing what I wanted to do

When I wanted to do

When I wanted to do it

I was being what I wanted to be

When I wanted to be

When I wanted to be it

I was playing when I wanted to play 

When I wanted to play

When I wanted to play it

Getting smashed out in the trash

Hoping for a chance to make some cash

In a way that's totally Flash

Through these words in the ultimate bash

To make it big with a jig

Even though I want a swig

While tripping over a little twig

Oh dear no I need a cig

I was saying what I wanted to say

When I wanted to say

When I wanted to say it

I was doing what I wanted to do

When I wanted to do

When I wanted to do it

I was being what I wanted to be

When I wanted to be

When I wanted to be it

I was playing when I wanted to play 

When I wanted to play

When I wanted to play it

I was feeling the tunes over the moon

Way up in a hot air balloon

Even though its only June

It's OK I'll be back soon

To do what I do

In these words so true

And that's get hammered

Like all of you

I was saying what I wanted to say

When I wanted to say

When I wanted to say it

I was doing what I wanted to do

When I wanted to do

When I wanted to do it

I was being what I wanted to be

When I wanted to be

When I wanted to be it

I was playing when I wanted to play 

When I wanted to play

When I wanted to play it

So come be clever put your hands together

No matter the rain or any weather

And say after me forever and ever

We won't give up no no never

For we are the ones who love fun

Under the stars under the sun

Because we know its got to be done

This is life for everyone

I was saying what I wanted to say

When I wanted to say

When I wanted to say it

I was doing what I wanted to do

When I wanted to do

When I wanted to do it

I was being what I wanted to be

When I wanted to be

When I wanted to be it

I was playing when I wanted to play 

When I wanted to play

When I wanted to play it

I was saying what I wanted to say

When I wanted to say

When I wanted to say it

I was doing what i wanted to do

When I wanted to do

When I wanted to do it

I was being what I wanted to be

When I wanted to be

When I wanted to be it

I was playing when I wanted to play 

When I wanted to play

When I wanted to play it

I was saying what I wanted to say

When I wanted to say

When I wanted to say it

I was doing what i wanted to do

When I wanted to do

When I wanted to do it

I was being what I wanted to be

When I wanted to be

When I wanted to be it

I was playing when I wanted to play 

When I wanted to play

When I wanted to play it
