Might be heaven
06:17

Hesitate to never know,
walking in the rain,
Your lover smiles to make you glow,
To play a dying game....
Simple things to set you free,
they're harder to find,
a better world without a doubt
you know I'll never see...
Chorus:
---------
Just when you've seen it all,
they come to take you away,
With loads and loads of guns,
Might be heaven to you...
Might be heaven for you...
The air we breathe the ones you love,
I haven't taken the time,
Of all the things you'd never want,
now we're left behind
Here in hell we love the dice,
and its easy to sell,
You're nothing but a piece of flesh,
under the longing saw...
Chorus:
---------
Just when you've seen it all,
they come to take you away,
With loads and loads of guns,
Might be heaven to you...
Might be heaven for you...
Endless sea with no cause,
a spell of illusion
Ripping out the Man,
off his thrown,
and the violence to lean on....
mandolin solo
Endless sea with no cause,
a spell of illusion
Ripping out the Man,
off his thrown,
and the violence to lean on....

Mother of everyday
05:28

They say love is a 'cold mine',
and it's easy to say,
I hope that your heart is not betrayed..
They pray and they pray
to the mother of everyday,
"please lead us home from this tomb".
Chorus
---------
Show me a road, and i'll cut it down,
feed me slow, and I'll close the door
Its not what you know,
its what you do with your time,
because time leads us home.
Please let me stay,
its my home you've become,
unspoken failure, turned away

Its strange the way they find it hard to see our world on fire?
The man must know, we'll turn diamonds to snow, as to when , we'll never know..
No fear of hell it's mine to sell, and yours I'll steal for me,
and time stand still for those who feel, this land belongs to all.
No heart beats for free,
the rebels are never true,
we're drowning in the fields,
The bloody smell of the oil well...
To reap the flow , my name is known,
the pipes of war are strained,
the face of shame will rise from men,
while ghosts of time they await...

Machete
05:16
|
|||
|
When the sun is shining,
you know its thing on you!
Oh when its raining, the clouds they're reflecting on me.
In light of these thoughts,
I think I'll wish myself away,
Machete in hand,
I cut through the vines that bind.
Want to leave,
this holy land behind me,
Wanna leave this only child,
in the way she found me.
In clouds of dust and smoke I,
try to breathe,
Never wanted this conscience to betray me.
Hear me now...
Hear me now...
Hear me now...
Now the rainbow is faded,
torn, in disrepair
Alive but inside,
the profet is reeling in time.
On the surface its clean,
and soft like a Jesus believed,
at the facist parade ,
I'll see you all disarmed and enslaved...

Dont want to know
04:54
|
|||
|
I dont want to know,
about evil,
Only want to know about love,
I dont want to know one thing about evil,
only want to know about love...
Sometimes it gets so hard to listen,
Hard for me to use my eyes,
all the time that gold is glistening ,
trying to cut me down to size.
Waiting for planes to tumble,
waiting for the towns to fall,
waiting for the cities to crumble,
waiting till I see you crawl.
I dont want to know,
about evil,
Only want to know about love,
I dont want to know one thing about evil,
only want to know about love...
Written by John Martyn

Johnathan Martin Pretoria, South Africa
Born in 1977 in South Africa, to a musical family, Johnathan Martin started to picture himself as performing musician from the tender age of 10 tears old. Classical guitar, then piano, and finally getting his first Strat copy at 13 years old. Taking music as a subject at school put the cello in his hands, and learnt to really improv when he joined the full time touring band Jack Hammer in '97. ... more
Johnathan Martin recommends:
Its got that 'stab you in the heart' effect when you listen to it. It might even take a few listens to get that feeling, but believe me when it hits, you'll know my meaning and thank me!! enjoy!
