Timothy Brown

The future is now


It’s good to belong
The dead man’s clothes that you wear like a medal of honour
Why bother?
These clothes do not fit me
I was born for today and the day after
Year after year
All your classicisms and history don’t impress me
There’s no time like the present
Place the displace, enchant the disenchanted
Use your power
Millenium fever
Just another way of bringing us together
Never never
All your classicisms and history don’t impress me
I’ve got a lot to do
I still the same pull
(The future is now)
So come out wherever you are
Hiding in the decades, people
You’re not stupid, you must know the future is now
A dome is no home
A monument will not keep us warm in winter
Lose your fear
All your classicsms and history don’t impress me
I’ve got a lot to do
I still the same pull
(The future is now)
So com eout wherever you are
Hiding in the decades, people
You’re not stupid, you must know the future is now
All your classicisms and history don’t impress me
The future is here, so glad you made it here

Song from the Blue Room


I've tried so damn hard to convince her
But my plea's in vain
I still feel the same as I did
Could you call her, maybe tell her
It Might sound right from you
I don't know what else to do
Would you try?
Now we're older, things are stranger
Then they've ever been
Now I'm scared of death
For the first time
All my friends say I look better
But my health is gone
Smoking far too much
All the time

Take your future in your own hands
Don't rush, take your time
Look around and find
Your friends
Come together, love each other
Spit on those who say
This is not the way
Let them die
And what goes up must come down
So I can't talk right now
And maybe it's easy to believe
That once once in your life, once your life
You'll find the love that you have always had
Realise that before you knew nothing at all

Comb your hair


We’ve both been sitting here so long
Turn it off there’s nothing on
The television will not be revolutionised
So come on baby, comb your hair
And hope the streets will lead us where
Everybody will know just what we both need

And we may never be this young again
Half my life has been misspent
Remember how I used to be and my energy
And we may never feel this way again
Lets not waste the time we have left
Get out while we can and clear our dusty heads

Holy man, yes, thanks you’re kind
But I haven’t got the time
To listen to how bad your god says I have been
For I have been what you’ve not been
And I have seen what you’ve not seen
Come back later when you’re lived a little while

And we may never be this young again
Half my life has been misspent
Remember how I used to be and my energy
And we may never feel this way again
Lets not waste the time we have left
Get out while we can and clear our dusty heads

She is everywhere


She hears what I’m thinking, and she also knows
What I’m going to say before I do
Slip back in my old ways whe she’s not around
Drinking tim the sun rises a new

You make me happy, there’s nothing else I can be
You make me feel, there’s only you and me
You made me love you, with everything you are
I need you
..

We are one, my dear, I’d like to say to you
Keep my wings around you all the time
I am not the same boy that I once was
Nowadays I’m so hard to find

You make me happy, there’s nothing else I can be
You make me feel, there’s only you and me
You made me love you, with everything you are
I need you.........

Eurostar

It’s only been a week or two
And me I have done nothing
Though there’s so much to do
Just lie here, don’t go to town
It doesn’t really matter
Nothing ever gets me down...
You’ve been away too long
It’s lonely when you are gone
You’ve been away too long
At times I feel so alone

It’s easy to let it go
I’ve lost so many hours
Doing what I do not know
This blue room, a time machine
It doesn’t really matter
I’ve got everything I need...
You’ve been away too long
At times I feel so alone
You’ve been away too long
It’s so lonely when you are gone
I’ve been away too long
At times I feel so alone.........

High as monkeys Lyrics


Try to put yourself in my place
It’s written all over my face
I’m closer to God
I’ve shed my dirty old skin
Grown a brand new feeling
I’m closer to God
Thinking fast and feeling free
And there’s no-one who can touch me
Higher than the Universe itself
Thanks I don’t need no help
I don’t have to see my picture
Or my name in a music paper
Now I’m close to God
I don’t have trouble sleepingI don’t have to go to meetings
When I’m close to God
Thinking fast and feeling free
And there’s no one who can touch me
Higher than the Universe itself
Thanks I don’t need no help
It’s a secret no one keeps it
Reveals the places others try to hide
It tips the balance from the violence
That lies within the bottles on the side

Now we’re high as monkeys
Now we’ve come so far
You and I are simple friends no more
Now we’re high as monkeys
Opened a few doors
Let the sunshine crash into our souls
Try to put yourself in my place
It’s written all over my face
I’m closer to God
I’ve shed my dirty old skin
Grown a brand new feeling
I’m closer to God
Thinking fast and feeling free
And there’s no-one who can touch me
Higher than the Universe itself
It’s a secret no one keeps it
Reveals the places others try to hide
It tips the balance from the violence
That lies within the bottles on the side
Now we’re high as monkeys
Now we’ve come so far
You and I are simple friends no more
Now we’re high as monkeys
Opened a few doors
Let the sunshine crash into our souls

_Kingsize_


The night is filled with stars that last a lifetime long
They all belong to me
I would like to see you can come home soon
I’ve kept it blue for you
How would you like to share
How would you like to share it all with me
How would you like to share
How would you like to share it all with me.......
All I have is not all that I need to be
I need to see this through
Living under people who don’t speak for me
Don’t care for me or you

How would you like to share
How would you like to share it all with me
How would you like to share
How would you like to share it all with me

Loneliness makes a man possesed
It drives him back
It drives him back to other times
When life was not so very kind
So long ago, in another world
When no-one knew the things I’d seen
I don’t think I could do it all again
Words confuse as Governments refuse
To give us but a small sign
That each of us is not alone
In times of need nothing is received
Because politics is power
And power is a daily need

I’m coming up for air
How would you like to share
How would you like to share it all with me
How would you like to share
How would you like to share it all with me..............

Heaven’s at the bottom


Reasons for believing in anything
Are few and far between these days
And I am just a boy who can’t say no
Things are so much clearer in a haze
And you don’t know, so why not give it a chance
Heaven’s at the bottom of this glass
Lessons are for learning then throwing away
Experience has taught me nothing
Think I’ll take a chance and miss you today
You can choose real life if you want
And you don’t know, so why not give it a chance
Heaven’s at the bottom of this glass
Blinded by the sunshine give me neon light
When I’m far away this is my home
A small one on the side to aid my flight
Then I can feel my wings begin to grow
And you don’t know, so why don’t give it a chance
Heaven’s at the bottom of this glass

Free Huey

Drag the shades across the window

Don’t answer any knock at the door

Keep your hand on the weapon beside you

Keep your eyes out for the law

Don’t you know and you gotta be all you can be

We’re told to run towards the future

While they’re standing on our feet

And be content with the scraps that they throw us

After promising a feast

If you didn’t have a gun then I wouldn’t need a gun

The Old Newsstand at Hamilton Square


I was dreaming about Hamilton Square and the
newsstand by the station
Where we bought the papers every single day
I was thinking about the way we treat each other
And the way things never stay the same
Remembering all these people, all these places
A cats gotta learn some day
Sad songs are easier to play, I’m afraid
We were laughing about that time in
New Brighton one summer
When you got there and I’d already been
And you could’nt believe that I had forgotten that it happened
Even forget so it seems
Remebering all these people, all these places
A cats gotta learn some day
Sad songs are easier to play, I’m afraid

We were talking about the times we’ve been together
And the future seemed so very far away
We were coming to terms with the fact that we’re
not young anymore
But we’re grateful for the times we’ve had
Remembering all these people, all these places
A cats gotta learn some day
sad songs are easier to play, I’m afraid
All these people, all these places
A cats gotta learn some day
sad songs are easier to play, I’m afraid

All these people, all these places
A cats gotta learn some day
sad songs are easier to play, I’m afraid
