Stick With Nurse 02:53
lyrics
buy track
Go and take a look it's a great big world out there Don't run away it's time to stop being scared So many things to see or do But you're hiding in your bed Can't you think the whole thing through Or are you lost inside your head? Hiding from life Stick with nurse for fear of something worse From life Better stick with nurse today There's a lot of hills and mountains that you've never climbed Or fancy restaurants where you've never dined Inside your outer shell You've locked yourself away You crave an anchorite cell To get you through the day Hiding from life Stick with nurse for fear of something worse From life Better stick with nurse today Bridge The acorn in the forest grows Into an ancient oak The fire you should burn inside Is nothing more than smoke Hiding from life Stick with nurse for fear of something worse From life Better stick with nurse today

Thunder and Lightning 03:52
lyrics
buy track
I run and hide under an Unwavering tree Will the lightning strike me there? I feel as though the bolts are Following me I can't move anywhere Chorus And the thunder follows lightning The claps echo in the sky Nature's power is frightening But the storm will soon pass by Verse 2 I feel so helpless here just Hanging around The tempest is the king I'm on edge and restless Feeling tied down But I can't do anything Chorus Bridge The sky's alight and there's Electric in the air It's dark then bright Beneath the clouds Mother nature's whip Cracks louder than a bomb No other noise Can feel so loud Chorus

Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye 03:52
lyrics
buy track
A kidnap in the night A child terrified In the back of A Government car Two muffled pistol sounds Two parents hit the ground A shattered life World falling apart A prison in the woods Nobody ever could Believe how They let the kids die Children locked away Experiments all day Futures stop they Kiss tomorrow goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Kiss tomorrow goodbye The power of their minds Could make it all unwind Expose all the lies Some will not survive And now they realise They kiss tomorrow goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Kiss tomorrow goodbye Bridge They seek to justify Their endless cruelty The means all match the end Or so they will pretend Goodbye Goodbye Kiss tomorrow goodbye

Sunday Morning Market 02:52
lyrics
buy track
You were looking through the knick knacks I had to wonder why You didn't look the knick knack type To my uncultured eye At the second hand book stand You browsed the paperbacks You seemed more Marx than Ayn Rand With your long scarf and that hat Chorus Sunday morning market Sunny winter's day At the Sunday morning market I idle time away They say I'm a people watcher But that isn't really true I admit I like to watch her Though I do watch others too I use imagination It sometimes runs away It's just a situation I fall into some days Sunday morning market Sunny winter's day At the Sunday morning market I idle time away I come here every weekend To walk around and stare Sometimes I just pretend I'll meet somebody there Sunday morning market Sunny winter's day At the Sunday morning market I idle time away

To The Moment 04:00
lyrics
buy track
To The Moment Fairies at the bottom of the garden watching over her all day She says her prayers before she goes to sleep and everything will be ok Protect yourself from fear It's always very near She says Is she travelling in a dream or in a vision that no-one else can see? Is she floating high above and looking over life in all its mystery? The spirits contemplate Deciding what her fate Will be In the night She listens for the call Until the light Brings her back once more To the moment She tries to understand all the demons locked away inside her head Deep underneath the counterpane she feels the safest place is in her bed The darkness never fades It just steals the day Instead In the night She listens for the call Until the light Brings her back once more To the moment

Razors In The Silver Ring 03:31
lyrics
buy track
The boys are putting on their crombies Camel coloured like wives Shining their Italian shoes And sharpening up their knives Collecting cash from bookies In the tats at Kempton Park The punters never noticed What happened after dark Razors in the Silver Ring Ready for the call When Charles gave the order To make another rival fall Billy's boys from Birmingham Muscled in the Southern patch But Charles saw them off Kimber met his match The Hoxton's and Cortesis Thought they'd make Charles fall No liberties with Sabini No-one beat him in a brawl Razors in the Silver Ring Ready for the call When Charles gave the order To make another rival fall The old bill turned a blind eye They liked the folding stuff Just leave the racecourse boys alone No need for cops to get tough Charles was a gentleman And helped those in need A hard man with a velvet glove But fists of iron when required Razors in the Silver Ring Ready for the call When Charles gave the order To make another rival fall

Breezing Up 03:34
lyrics

Hold the bar still boys Now I've got the steer! The wind's getting up Yes it's strong around here We've caught a fair few Now we'll head back to shore We're high on the tide Just pull back some more It's breezing up Dark clouds in the sky They're coming our way boys Let's hope they pass by Breezing up We've got fish for our tea We'll soon have them sizzling The taste of the sea Look there's a schooner It's sails tall and proud Reaching so high They're near touching the clouds One day quite soon lads The sea will be yours To sail with a schooner Of that I am sure It's breezing up Dark clouds in the sky They're coming our way boys Let's hope they pass by Breezing up We've got fish for our tea We'll soon have them sizzling The taste of the sea

Magic Carpet Ride 02:46
lyrics
buy track
Let me take you on a magic carpet ride Over hills and mountains we could fly Over city spires We could fly much higher On our magic carpet ride Just close your eyes and make a magic wish Imagine going anywhere A river or a beach Are both within our reach Our magic carpet ride is here And when it's time to land We'll come back to the ground Only then we'll understand The treasures we have found Let me take you on a magic carpet ride You're imagination is the key Open up your mind Leave the past behind Let your world unwind On our magic, magic carpet ride

Paloma (The Girl With The Stars In Her Eyes) 05:40
lyrics
buy track
Paloma the girl with stars in her eyes I wait at the station until she arrives I see you each day on the Jubilee line I dream of the time that you will be mine A creature of habit you turn up each day At the underground station I always wait By the platform place near where you always stand Behaving casual but everything is planned On the train as I watch in my reverie Dreaming of a life where's there’s just you and me You read and you seem so absorbed in your book I try to resist but can't help myself look I remember the things that we never did Our own little secrets the ones that we hid ‘Though we've never spoken I know you so well That very first glance put me under your spell Your station arrives and you stand to depart I watch as you leave when the doors pull apart The train carries on and I sit all alone Aimlessly staring at things on my phone My face shows a smile but my stomach's in knots Alone at my desk with my recurring thoughts Back home I wait for the morning to arrive And one more commute on the Jubilee line

Miranda's Now A Hippy 04:29
lyrics

Miranda's now a hippy Alternative and trippy She wants to leave the London gloom And buy a house in Frome And take up permaculture Performance art and sculpture She'd put her faith in crystals And meet her friends in Bristol Miranda's now a hippy Miranda's now a hippy Miranda lives with Gerry He plays the ukelele They went to Glastonbury They'd seen it on the telly They lazed around all day While Gerry strummed and played She brought a tambourine To hit and join in Miranda's now a hippy Miranda's now a hippy Their food was all organic But once they had a panic Some tofu that they tried Was genetically modified Miranda's now a hippy Miranda's now a hippy

about

A chance conversation between friends and fellow musician/songwriters Phil Matthews and Mark Pearson led to the discovery that there were many areas where their musical interests overlapped to the extent that it seemed logical to combine forces. Calling themselves Prime Minister and with a total of 10 songs titling their debut album Ten seemed the obvious thing to do. They hope that you will enjoy the music here, and thus be encouraged to create more in a similar vein.
