What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? Well I’d swim all the seas, reinstate all the bees, yes I’d grow myself a tail, Drink all the rum, jig through the clouds, hair wild in its gale, Well I’d stew all the sadness to be all the gladness and serve it right back to the world Admit to myself that we only live once and absolutely refuse to bail… What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? What would you do oh, what would you do yeah... What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? What would you do oh, What would you do yeah... What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?

Hyper 03:23
As I look through the sunset, tonight… I wonder what I want to write…. I’ve got chords a growing, Melodies a rippling now, Excitement gushes through my veins, With the best of the past detained I can’t wait to see what future remains And I can’t wait to fall in love oh I can’t wait to feel the pain! Oh oh oh oh Sing it loud, sing it proud Show the world what you’re all about You have full capabilities now To be all you want to be now Choose to win, don’t expect to lose Give your wild nut grin and Shake off those shabby shoes Sing it loud, sing it proud Show the world what you’re all about You have full capabilities now To be all you want to be now Choose to win, don’t expect to lose Give your wild nut grin and Shake off those stupid blues, stupid blues stupid blue yeah! Don’t know why but I feel it coming Don’t know why but I feel it coming Like a train thundering, Rumbling a rumbling a rumbling I hope you feel it coming, I hope you feel it coming to you I hope you feel it coming I hope you feel it coming to you!!!!

Wind whip across my gentle face and show me that I and nothing in this place Hill, show me who’s the wisest and the most beautiful that can be Sky, remind that there is such a thing as purity Sun deliver me from everything into nothing, for feeling free Only nature tells the truth… We’re all so messed up, corrupt and confused Ripped out from our simple roots, perplexed in a closing noose Oh we’re all cowards from the truth, but I don’t wanna lie no more No I ain’t gonna lie no more In your eyes I see a new line of horizon, It’s pulling me through this selfless parody Synchronized with desires that I can’t stop fighting I try to quit and just try to be You can try to run, but when the time comes, You can try to run, but when the time comes, You can try to run, but when the time comes, There’s nowhere to hide That’s it, thats it, cos I’m quit this careless shit Cos I ain’t gonna keep hiding, or seeking with no reason Justification that can lead you anyway you want to stray, So lets jump stoke the funk, shimmy and free yeh In your eyes I see a new line of horizon It’s pulling me through this selfless parody Synchronized with desires that I can’t stop fighting I try to quit and just try to be You can try to run, but when the time comes, You can try to run, but when the time comes, You can try to run, but when the time comes, There’s nowhere to hide In your eyes I see a new line of horizon It’s pulling me through this selfless parody Synchronized with desires that I can’t stop fighting I try to quit and just try to be You can try to run, but when the time comes, You can try to run, but when the time comes, You can try to run, but when the time comes, There’s nowhere to hide

Oceans 06:07
Oceans you can throw me high into the sky Oceans you can throw me high into the sky But I’ll always come down, in raindrops of profound joy Oceans you can throw me high into the sky Oceans you can throw me high into the sky But I’ll always come down, in raindrops of profound joy Now there’s a sad story I have to tell, in this life it’s easier on the negative to dwell The media pump our minds with all the evil done but I’m so sick of thinking we’re all wrong So what about all the love and smiles that swapped every second of the day, by everyone, everyone? This is what we should be dwelling on so come on Let’s celebrate this fact –ohoh Get together baby, dance and act Love is what makes the world go round –ohoh Love is what makes the world go round -yeah Love is what makes the world go round, around around Cos there’s too much to love and there’s too much to learn, Fire in our eyes, prime energy to burn Too much to discover, too much to admire Relations to be told and stories to unfold We’re all so lucky, to have it all! So come on! Let’s celebrate this fact –ohoh Get together baby, dance and act Love is what makes the world go round –ohoh Love is what makes the world go round- yeah Love is what makes the world go round, around around Love is what makes, the world go round Love is what makes, the world go round Love is what makes, the world go round Oceans you can throw me high into the sky Oceans you can throw me high into the sky But I’ll always come down, in raindrops of profound joy Oceans you can throw me high into the sky Oceans you can throw me high into the sky But I’ll always come down, in raindrops of profound joy

A look of lost child eyes Green, open for any surprise Misguided beauty doesn't know what he's worth Yet he's heavily quilted since birth No one seems to have told him the price of himself Yet he believes he's saturated oh saturated in a dark, dark spell, spell Baby please believe me when I say I didn't want to leave, I didn't want to leave But I just couldn't stay la I just couldn't stay Baby please believe when I say I didn't want to leave but I Just couldn't stay.... Majestic times seem to entwine my life's path trying to ease the hard fact That I miss you, I miss you I miss you I miss you Baby please believe me when I say I didn't want to leave, I didn't want to leave But I just couldn't stay la I just couldn't stay Baby please believe when I say I didn't want to leave but I Just couldn't stay.... Baby baby Believe me when I say I didn't want to leave, I didn't want to leave But I just couldn't stay la I just couldn't stay Baby please believe when I say I didn't want to leave but I Just couldn't stay....

Dimensions 05:05
Sometimes I feel a thousand miles from anyone A hostage to my own dimension Don’t know if I wanna break out into reality beyond I dance about, at ease with myself Don’t know what I’m doing but what I am No face, no body A clear cloud that controls my mind Don’t know what I’m doing, trapped in this cage What makes you ugly? What makes you kind? The only thing I can think of is perception of the mind What makes you ugly? What makes you kind? The only thing I can think of is perception of the mind Perception of the mind Perception, illusions, deceptions, solution, perception illusion- of the mind On the understanding, on the understanding that it’s all for the good times On the understanding, on the understanding that it’s all for the good times In your mind, in your mind Rumjigger jiggy In your mind…

Ego Bow Down 06:26
To yield the spiel amongst the mindless fields I grasp an understanding so profound To swim through the imagination, wide and proud To see through these junkie clouds Cos consciousness is nothing more, no more than consciousness is now This is just pouring from the endless jug of metaphor Look deep inside yourself, but don’t think Expel the petty gloats and ignore The fat and filthy status of your ego bow down Cos you can just be, yes you can just be happy as you are You can just be swimming, dancing and laughing, oh happy as you are And Ella said, Ella Said I’ve got plenty of nothing and nothing is plenty for me I’ve got plenty of nothing and nothing is plenty for me I’ve got plenty of nothing and nothing is plenty for me I’ve got plenty of nothing and nothing is plenty for me Inside out doubt to reality Cause to combine the signs to realise Doubt is a just a clout of the of the ego bow down… Inside out doubt to reality Cause to combine the signs to realise Doubt is a just a clout of the of the ego bow down… Inside out doubt to reality Cause to combine the signs to realise Doubt is a just a clout of the of the ego bow down… Inside out doubt to reality Cause to combine the signs to realise Doubt is a just a clout of the of the ego bow down… I’ve got plenty of nothing and nothing is plenty for me I’ve got plenty of nothing and nothing is plenty for me I’ve got plenty of nothing and nothing is plenty for me I’ve got plenty of nothing and nothing is plenty for me

One Life 04:03
I read in the news the other day A guy of head corporate way Blew himself up because he's isolated through millionaire status and so... Apparently there's a 10 million square mile 2 mile thick brown cloud of man-made pollutants Hovering above Asia suppressing sunlight... Caused by western society... Corruption, mass production, lack of mind expansion Will all blow up in your face cause we can't consume your waste So how can you smile, while you weave, this regardless fate..? One life, one life, we abuse One life Why didn't we care from the first place? We're the lucky ones who just a pan stuff our face We're all caught up in this frenzied pace Others living gracefully with what they can No greed, no development, just life, just life Wouldn't be nice to be certain once in while? Wouldn't it be nice to understand their smiles? Wouldn't it be nice to really know what's going on? Wouldn't be nice to be certain once in while? Wouldn't it be nice to understand their smiles? Wouldn't it be nice to really know what's going on? Why didn't we care from the first place? We're the lucky ones who just a pan stuff our face We're all caught up in this frenzied pace Others living gracefully with what they can No greed, no development, just life, just life Passion grace and fire, greeting your desire Passion grace and fire, greeting your desire Passion grace and fire, greeting your desire...

There’s a speculation I can see A quantum side of fantasy And ecstasy should grab my sides Yet I prefer to pity the time Skinhead beauty in my face Yet all I can reply is my disgrace Part fractures of green smear I don’t know it yet but I need you near… Physical attraction like mindless disfractions… Oh, red tongue of yellow coward Raptured reasons for endless want of Skinhead beauty in my face Yet all I can reply is my disgrace Part fractures of green smear I don’t know it yet but I need you… I need you near Oh I yeah need need you near Oh I need you near. Skinhead beauty in my face Yet all I can reply is my disgrace Part fractures of green smear I don’t know it yet but I need you… I need you near Oh I yeah need need you near Oh I need you near

Rumgadge 11:29
Why do people look at me in a funny way? I’m a normal person at the end of the day No different from all the rest Yet they all point laugh and jest Is it the colour of my skin or am I too fat or too thin? Don’t look at me and say You’re ugly so go away Cos all I need is a friend to take my heart and make amends amends To take my heart and make amends Look past the colour of my skin Take the time to look right in You never know what you find, you might like and If you don’t then take a fucken hike Don’t just stand and make me feel small Push and push and push until I fall I don’t like that, like that at all Don’t look at me and say You’re ugly so go away Cos all I need is a friend to take my heart and make amends amends To take my heart and make amends Take your time, listen to what I have to say Think about it, choose to obey Yes ok I may not be perfect But isn’t good friendship worth it? Oh aren’t you glad you made the sacrifice Found under it all I’m actually nice, nice, nice, nice A little bit cou cou but alright?! Don’t look at me and say You’re ugly so go away Cos all I need is a friend to take my heart and make amends amends To take my heart and make amends
