In fear every day, every evening, He calls her aloud from above, Carefully watched for a reason, Painstaking devotion and love, Surrendered to self preservation, From others who care for themselves. A blindness that touches perfection, But hurts just like anything else. Isolation, isolation, isolation. Mother I tried please believe me, I'm doing the best that I can. I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through, I'm ashamed of the person I am. Isolation, isolation, isolation. But if you could just see the beauty, These things I could never describe, These pleasures a wayward distraction, This is my one lucky prize. Isolation, isolation, isolation, isolation, isolation.

Wildcat kelley, lookin' mighty pale Was standin' by the sherrif's side And when the sherrif said "I'm sendin you to jail Wildcat raised his head and cried Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above Don't fence me in Let me ride through the wide-open country that I love Don't fence me in Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees Send me off forever, but I ask you, please Don't fence me in Just turn me loose, let me straddle my ol' saddle underneath the western skies On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder 'till I see the mountains rise I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences Gaze at the moon 'till I lose my senses I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences Don't fence me in Wildcat kelley, back again in town Was standin by his sweetheart's side And when his sweetheart said "come on, let's settle down Wildcat raised his head and cried Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above Don't fence me in Let me ride through the wide open country that I love Don't fence me in Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees Send me off forever but I ask you please Don't fence me in Just turn me loose, let me straddle my ol' saddle underneath the western skies On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder 'till I see the mountains rise I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences Gaze at the moon 'till I lose my senses Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences Don't fence me in

The economy’s down and the Prime Minister’s sick "Who's in charge, now?" I don't know, take your pick. A new disease here today and the old one’s are coming back Things are looking kind of grey, like they're gonna get black Don't turn on the TV, don't show me the paper I don't want to know he got kidnapped or why nobody saved her I want to go on vacation to get rid of this cough But I can’t find a plane now that’s gonna take off [Chorus] It's been a hard day on the planet How much is it all worth? It's getting harder to understand it Things are tough all over on earth. It's hot in December and cold in July When it rains it pours out of a poisonous sky In America the body count keeps getting higher It's evil out there, man that place is always on fire. Everyone has a system, but they can't seem to win Even Dom Cummings looks alarmingly thin I got to get on Elon’s shuttle and get me out of this place But there's gonna be warfare up there in outer space [Chorus] I've got clothes on my back and shoes on my feet A roof over my head and something to eat My kids are all healthy and my folks are alive You know, it's amazing but sometimes I think I'll survive I've got all of my fingers and all of my toes I'm pretty well off I guess, I suppose So how come I feel bad so much of the time? A man ain’t an island - John Donne wasn't lying [Chorus] It's business as usual; some things never change It's unfair, unkind, unjust and it's strange We don't seem to learn; we can't seem to stop Maybe some explosions would close up the shop You know, maybe that would be fine, because we would be off the hook We resolved all our problems, never mind what it took And it all would be over, finito, the end Until the survivors start it up all over again [Chorus]

Yesterday All my troubles seemed so far away Now it looks as though they're here to stay Oh, I believe in yesterday Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be There's a shadow hangin' over me Oh, yesterday came suddenly Why she had to go, I don't know, she wouldn't say I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday Yesterday Love was such an easy game to play Now I need a place to hide away Oh, I believe in yesterday Why she had to go, I don't know, she wouldn't say I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday Yesterday Love was such an easy game to play Now I need a place to hide away Oh, I believe in yesterday Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm

There's a boy, fifteen, with a gun in his hand And the people with no audience say should be hanged They ask for his motive but they don't understand Why they love like they do, like they do There's a girl, fifteen, with her head in a noose Because she's damned to live, well she's damned to choose And the animals walked in twos by twos Showing love like they do, like they do There's a girl, fifteen, although she isn't sure Well how the hell could you want anything more Beautiful, perfect, immaculate I'm in love, love with you, love with you Oh won't you let me finish You drive me insane The world will keep on turning Even if we're not the same Don't come on to me, come on to me There's a boy, fifteen, turning into a man Well tell me one other thing that he can While you forced a smile through a jealous hand Showing love like you do, like you do There's a boy, fifteen, and he's attempted to sue Cause he's definitely sure that it's true What kind of man, kind of man are you Showing love like you do, like you do Oh won't you let me finish You drive me insane The world will keep on turning Even if we're not the same Don't come on to me, come on to me So tell me what's in your mind, so tell me what's in your mind And don't forget your paracetamol smile So tell me what's in your mind, so tell me what's in your mind And don't forget your paracetamol smile So tell me what's in your mind, so tell me what's in your mind And don't forget your paracetamol smile So tell me what's in your mind, so tell me what's in your mind You're emotionally challenged Why do you waste you waste your time The world around you's manic Do you have no shame Come on to me, come on to me

True love will find you in the end You'll find out just who was your friend Don't be sad, I know you will But don't give up until True love will find you in the end This is a promise with a catch Only if you're looking can it find you 'Cause true love is searching too But how can it recognize you If you don't step out into the light, the light Don't be sad I know you will Don't give up until True love will find you in the end

I wanna take you somewhere so you know I care But it's so cold and I don't know where I brought you daffodils in a pretty string But they won't flower like they did last spring And I wanna kiss you, make you feel alright I'm just so tired to share my nights I wanna cry and I wanna love But all my tears have been used up On another love, another love All my tears have been used up On another love, another love All my tears have been used up On another love, another love All my tears have been used up Oh oh And if somebody hurts you, I wanna fight But my hands been broken, one too many times So I'll use my voice, and I'll be so rude Words they always win, but I know I'll lose And I'd sing a song, that'd be just ours But I sang 'em all to another heart And I wanna cry I wanna learn to love But all my tears have been used up On another love, another love All my tears have been used up On another love, another love All my tears have been used up On another love, another love All my tears have been used up Oh oh (Oh, need a love, now, my heart is thinking of) I wanna sing a song, that'd be just ours But I sang 'em all to another heart And I wanna cry, I wanna fall in love But all my tears have been used up On another love, another love All my tears have been used up On another love, another love All my tears have been used up On another love, another love All my tears have been used up oh oh

I want to hold the hand inside you I want to take the breath that's true I look to you and I see nothing I look to you to see the truth You live your life, you go in shadows You'll come apart and you'll go black Some kind of night into your darkness Colours your eyes with what's not there Fade into you Strange you never knew Fade into you I think it's strange you never knew A stranger's light comes on slowly A stranger's heart without a home You put your hands into your head And then smiles cover your heart Fade into you Strange you never knew Fade into you I think it's strange you never knew Fade into you Strange you never knew Fade into you I think it's strange you never knew I think it's strange you never knew

This is a crisis I knew had to come, Destroying the balance I'd kept. Doubting, unsettling and turning around, Wondering what will come next. Is this the role that you wanted to live? I was foolish to ask for so much. Without the protection and infancy's guard, It all falls apart at first touch. Watching the reel as it comes to a close, Brutally taking it's time, People who change for no reason at all, It's happening all of the time. Can I go on with this train of events? Disturbing and purging my mind, Back out of my duties, when all's said and done, I know that I'll lose every time. Moving along in our God given ways, Safety is sat by the fire, Sanctuary from these feverish smiles, Left with a mark on the door, Is this the gift that I wanted to give? Forgive and forget's what they teach, Or pass through the deserts and wastelands once more, And watch as they drop by the beach. This is the crisis I knew had to come, Destroying the balance I'd kept, Turning around to the next set of lives, Wondering what will come next.

I, I can't get these memories out of my mind And some kind of madness has started to evolve I, I tried so hard to let you go But some kind of madness is swallowing me whole, yeah I have finally seen the light And I have finally realized What you mean Oh oh oh And now, I need to know is this real love Or is it just madness keeping us afloat? And when I look back at all the crazy fights we had Like some kind of madness Was taking control Yeah And now I have finally seen the light And I have finally realized What you need Mm And now I have finally seen the end (Finally seen the end) And I'm not expecting you to care (Expecting you to care) But I have finally seen the light (Finally seen the light) I have finally realized (Realized) I need to love I need to love Come to me, Trust in your dream Come on and rescue me Yes I have known, I can be wrong Maybe I'm too headstrong Our love is Madness

Panic on the brain, world has gone insane Things are starting to get heavy, mm I can't help but think I haven't felt this way Since I asked you to go steady Wonderin', would you be, my little quarantine? Or is this the way it ends? 'Cause I told you my level of concern But you walked by like you never heard And you could bring down my level of concern Just need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay Panic on the brain, Michael's gone insane Julie starts to make me nervous I don't really care what they would say I'm asking you to stay My bunker underneath the surface Wonderin', would you be, my little quarantine?

The warmth of your love's like the warmth of the sun And this will be our year, took a long time to come Don't let go of my hand, now darkness has gone This will be our year, took a long time to come And I won't forget The way you held me up when I was down And I won't forget the way you said "Darling I love you, you gave me faith to go on" Now we're there and we've only just begun This will be our year, took a long time to come The warmth of your smile, smile for me, little one And this will be our year, took a long time to come You don't have to worry, all your worried days are gone And this will be our year, took a long time to come And I won't forget The way you held me up when I was down And I won't forget the way you said "Darling I love you, you gave me faith to go on" Now we're there and we've only just begun This will be our year, took a long time to come

Sometimes I feel so happy Sometimes I feel so sad Sometimes I feel so happy But mostly you just make me mad Baby, you just make me mad Linger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes Thought of you as my mountaintop Thought of you as my peak Thought of you as everything I've had, but couldn't keep I've had, but couldn't keep Linger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes If I could make the world as pure And strange as what I see I'd put you in a mirror I put in front of me I put in front of me Linger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes Skip a life completely Stuff it in a cup She said "money is like us in time It lies, but can't stand up" Down for you is up Linger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes It was good what we did yesterday And I'd do it once again The fact that you are married Only proves you're my best friend But it's truly, truly a sin Linger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes

about

This album has been produced by students (current and past) and staff from St. Anselm's College in Birkenhead, Wirral, UK

www.st-anselms.com

The aim is to raise money to support The Charles Thompson Mission in Birkenhead. It serves the people of Birkenhead and the Wirral (established in 1892). The Mission looks to help men and women who are homeless, poor and needy, out of poverty. They provide hot food, clothing, toiletries, other basic essentials, along with much love, care and compassion. They treat people with dignity and kindness.

charlesthompsonsmission.org.uk

Artists have selected an eclectic mix of tracks that reflect the pandemic lockdown to them, they have recorded them in isolation and given their time to this worthy cause. All procedures will go to support The Mission post lockdown as these people will need more support as hotels are emptied and the streets start to fill again!

Please download the album, give what you can (£5 minimum but the more the better!) and enjoy 17 fabulous songs by talented Birkenhead musicians. Then tell your friends to download and enjoy too...


Your support is very much appreciated and to be honest - needed!
