A Song for Pokhara

Promise me you won't forget
Always give as good as you get
Tick every box on your wish list
Stay warm in that forest you live in
Oh, We watch as the Buffalo run to their waterhole
One step ahead of us I know
Is it time for action yet?
Is it time for action or breakfast?
I can see both ways we are unwritten poetry
Made up of atoms
Light reflects differently
Some seek security
Hold onto your dignity
Packed in a rucksack
With your smile five Continents wide
Five Continents wide
Oh, We watch as the Buffalo run to their waterhole
One step ahead of us I know
Is it time for action yet?
Is it time for action or breakfast?
I found a home away from home
I managed to stumble upon the unknown?
It is easy to stay in one place and..
Disappear, without a trace
I found a home away from home
I managed to stumble upon the unknown?
It is easy to stay in one place and..
Disappear, without a trace
You're leaving a trace boy
You're leaving a trace boy
You're leaving a trace

Momentum
Flowing like the crest of a wave
Momentum
Speeding like a runaway train
Momentum
It keeps me rolling downhill
To get the ball rolling
I sometimes step outside
Out in the freedom
There is nothing I want to hide
I go where I want to
With every pedal stroke
My own private slideshow
With an ending only I know
With an ending only I know
Momentum
Flowing like the crest of a wave
Momentum
Speeding like a runaway train
Momentum
It keeps me rolling downhill
To keep the show on the road
I take the rough with the smooth
To stand out from the crowd
You've got to cut out your own groove
The Earth that we walk each day
Constantly on the move
Revolving around the Sun
Perpetual motion
Perpetual motion
Momentum
Flowing like the crest of a wave
Momentum
Speeding like a runaway train
Momentum
It keeps me rolling downhill
Momentum
Flowing like the crest of a wave
Momentum
Speeding like a runaway train
Momentum
It keeps me rolling downhill

Set Us Free

There is a graveyard of broken instruments
Lying in boxes underneath your bed
An amplifier gets used as a side table instead
Mic leads make fine washing lines
Where families clothes get dry
Step foot outside
Where the yelling collides
Won't somebody set us free?
We shout for you to dig us out
Even after all these years
After all these years
After all these years
Drum kits make up shitty sculptures in city squares
Staring up in the air
Without care
You'll find many Millionaires
Who fled those battle scenes when they were Boys and Girls
Who stopped practising
Forgetting
Bad work men blame their tools
Blame their tools
Blames their tools
Won't somebody set us free?
We shout for you to dig us out
Even after all these years
We shout
For you to dig us out
We shout for you to dig us out
Without a shadow of a doubt
We shout
We shout
For you to dig us out

Where the road meets the river and the river meets the road
That is where I will fly my flag, it is where I will call home.
Where the road meets the river and the river meets the road
That is where I will fly my flag, it is where I will call home.
I planned my escape
My getaway route
I opened the exit then walked out the room
I'm not a rat
So why was I forced to race?
I'm a lucky one
Not before too long
I gave up the chase
Where the road meets the river and the river meets the road
That is where I will fly my flag, it is where I will call home.
Four walls and a roof
Are all I need
Surround me with forest so I can breathe
A mountain range and a crystal clear stream
Let me share this place
With somebody dear to me
Where the road meets the river and the river meets the road
That is where I will fly my flag, that is where I will call home.
Where the road meets the river and the river meets the road
That is where I will fly my flag, that is where I will call home
Where I will call home
Where I will call home
Where I will call home
Where I will call home
It's where I will call home
Where the road meets the river and the river meets the road
That is where I will fly my flag, that is where I will call home
Where the road meets the river and the river meets the road
That is where I will lay my hat, that is where I will call home
