In light and perfect distance we circle round the sun
Across time and our near space to her we owe our life
For the first time till the last she’s shining
As we go about our lives complaining
I see you - I feel it
Beautiful consequences?
My mind its overtaken by how we are to be
In this complete perfection - the earth beneath our feet
For the first time in my life Im humbled
Its taken far too long to waken
These chances - were not chances
This place is designed for us
I look up to the heavens - I’m insignificant
This life’s absorbed and shaken- by the universe of love
For the first time in my life - I get this
And i feel I owe the world and much more
I stand here in abundance
Of everything I have
Receiving the love
Under the sun
Im Breathing the air
Amazed to be here
For the first time in my life I’ve woken
To the fact that I am here at all
For the first time in my life I’m open
to the universe that lives in us

Something to Believe In

I'm not the only one who thinks about you all the time
I'm not the only one who thinks...
A hundred voices in my head....
Give me something to believe in
I'm still hoping...
Gotta get a mile or two away from you
Gotta get a long long way away

The Narcissist

You cant stop cos you thirst control
The world inside of you its a dark hole
You lose friends that you thought you had
You lost your mum and now you lost your Dad
What were you thinking?
What were you scheming ?
You put yourself on a pedestal
And try to rule the world thats below you
You crave attention but you sense a threat
From those around you -some you’ve never met
Manipulation
Constant demanding
You keep cajoling
I will not be told
There is no reasoning
Empathy missing
You’re self destructing
I’m beyond you now
You litigate when you lose your way
In some precious sense you have a case
You’re irresponsible and won’t accept
That others have you and have worked you out

Miss You

You left me alone - you didn’t phone
I couldn’t work out when we last spoke
And laughed and joked and I began to miss you
Messages left I felt bereft
I struggled to think whether you said
You planned ahead to go on a vacation
Id never expect to find instead
That you had taken life from ahead
Abandoned it - I really cant believe it
The light in your life had turned to dark
You left me standing all on my own thinking now
Im really gonna miss you
What in the world am I to do
I cant believe that everything that I feel for you
I cant express and kiss you - I miss you
And what the hell am I gonna do
It seems that for the rest of my life I’ll wait for you
I miss you - I really really miss you
Life is extinct the final blink
And suddenly the day that I dread has crept in bed
And I can hear you calling
Why did you have to end the days
When there was so much more to be done - so much to say
And healing….
The day to day things that come and go
Only serve to clarify for the one thing I know
Im gonna miss you
All of my friends are here for me
But none of them have carried my life as you did for me
Im gonna miss you

It Never Rains

You’ve been once around the world and travelled back again
Seen the summits and the highs and depths of some despair
All for one and one for all - to the bitter end
Life can carry little love just when you need a friend
It never rained - but it poured
It never rained - on your shores
Time has had it in for you since the turning of the tides
Nothing ever worked for you despite your intense pride
You made the grade and worked so hard but nothing came of it
You won the fight but lost the deal on technicalities
But you believe in something bright - a chance will come your way
A scratch card with the winning line - to move you far away
All those who’ve been mocking you will eat their humble pies
And you will shine victorious and have your glory days….
Where you will reign - where you will reign shore to shore
Where you will reign - where you will reign forever more
And no-one will ever laugh at you behind your golden door

Pete Jones Plays Genesis - Selling England For A Pound (Charity Release)

This is one of the best interpretations I've heard of Genesis music, Pete would have made an excellent replacement vocalist for the band itself, he has a lovely feel for the songs, and a perfect voice for the material
