Ashes to Ashes
New Morals
Here we are in this modern nation
Wear a black carnation full of black frustrations
And I …
Here we are in this modern nation
Wear a black carnation full of black frustrations
And I …
see the people, tell them what they want to hear
Who to hate and who’s the next one to fear
Here we are in this modern nation
Wear a black carnation full of black frustrations
And I need …
​
New morals
Give me new morals now and
New morals
Give me new morals now
New morals
This is what you wanted now and
New morals it’s here to go
​
Here we are in this modern nation
Leave my reservations with my resignation
And I
See the people, they tell me what I want to hear
Who to hate and everything I’ve got to fear
Here we are in this modern nation
Wear a black carnation full of black frustrations
And I need …
New morals
Give me new morals now
New morals
Give me new morals now
New morals this is what you wanted now and
New morals it’s beautiful
I paint it all in blue tones
I paint it all in blue hues
I paint it all in blue tones
Baby blue tones
So blue
For you
For you
Yah blue tones
Blue tones
Blue tones
So blue
Blue blue tones
Here we are in this modern nation
Wear a black carnation full of black frustrations
Here we are in this modern nation
Wear a black carnation full of black frustrations
Here we are in this modern nation
Wear a black carnation full of black frustrations…

Simon's Song
2010
Christmas day
Oblivious
These chords I played
2010
Christmas day
Oblivious
You’re hours away
I got here some 28 years before you
That’s a lot of time
A drop into the well…
We run through the summer fields
Starry night
Skies of youth
We run through the crowds of faces
Pulling us
From far away
It’s what you choose
There are many shades of truth
When it’s said and done
Do make some time for
A walk in the sun
The truth you’ll find
Along the way
Defining us
Like molded clay
It’s mostly in our control
Whether we let it slide
Or we make it roll
Hours ago
Hours ago
Hours ago
Hours ago
2010
Christmas day
Oblivious these chords I played
2010
Christmas day
Oblivious you’re hours away
Hours away….
Moon Flowers
Blue skies, palm trees
Through dirty windows
I’ve never been there
Crowed streets
Your awkward gaze
Walking in circles I'm trying reach you
Childhood
Apple trees
Running about as we please
As you try to save
What was lost long ago
Fair trade
coffee beans
Lie in the long grass
Never the wiser
Fast cars drive you by
I'm Lost in stillness
Still trying to reach you
Old souls
Were dust on glass
Gaze to the night sky
Looking for reasons why
As you try to save
What was lost long ago

Sun flowers in her hair
Flowers on her dress
Lips painted blood red
Ain’t this life unkind
Frozen there in time
Lips pressed up on mine
In my mind
In my mind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Sun flowers in her hair
A lifeless longing stare
Moon flowers on grave
The stillness left behind
Still Crashing through my mind
Draw some up in twine
Put them next to mine
Next to mine
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
