• Saaqi (Barkeep)

  Barkeep give me one more
  That’s all I need I swear
  Just another drop
  Bittersweet in its delivery
  Warming the throat
  Wetting the eyes
  The perfect disguise

• Sunday Blues

  Today I sing the blues
  I lost my girl to a bad deed
  Today I sing the blues
  I’m the bluest of blues indeed

  She gave me love like a flame
  The fire in my heart burned for her
  She gave me love like a flame
  But like a foolish man I turned from her

  [hook]
  She was my baby and now I cry
  She was my baby and now I cry!
  I used to kiss her goodmorning
  Now I can’t even kiss her goodbye

  Yesterday I seen my baby walkin’
  I see my baby walkin’ away
  She used to walk her sexy walk with me
  Not no more since I done betrayed

  Dear God what am I to do?
  What am I to do without my baby?
  I just want to hold her so tight lord
  But my baby, my baby says we’re through

  She was my baby and now I cry
  She was my baby and now I cry!
  I used to kiss her goodmorning
  Now I can’t even kiss her goodbye

  I was no good
  Thats right! I said I was no good
  I played with my baby’s heart
  I didnt do what a good man should

  I loved my darling
  Lord I loved my baby so
  Love that I never showed
  Now my baby’s tellin’ me,
  She tellin’ me I gotta go

  She was my baby and now I cry
  She was my baby and now I cry!
  I used to kiss her goodmorning
  Now I can’t even kiss her goodbye

• When I’m old

  Walking tall, slick hair glistening
  Spouting pretence like everyone is listening

  A peacock a strutting fool
  Professing though still at school

  Riding on charisma and a smile
  Substance is only for abuse
  It’s all about style

  But one day the words fail
  And all assurances grow stale

  Tired eyes replace the sleaze
  Gasping for air,
  too many trees

  When all that I am has gone
  When every ounce is sold
  Promise me one thing
  Still be my girl when I’m old.

• Old Lovers

  Proud eyes humble
  Strong strides stumble

  Inside a thousand words
  Yet not one is heard

  Ill-fated paths cross
  Hearts grieve for all that’s lost

  But on their faces not one sign
  With a smile they greet and say “I’m fine”
