Braintax:
You know it's truthful when you hear me
Real name J Christie, born 73
Deep down Im probably just like you
Deep down you're probably just like me
My ambitions to be free
My favourite colours green like the land
Second favourites blue like the sea
And the sky I see most
I have a vision of me sitting happy on the coast
The blue water crashes down, the ocean sound
By a lighthouse; image that I felt in a book
My children play together on the sand,
I look, can't see their faces yet
I love her deeply even though we haven't yet met
My futures far from set
At times I forget to live for here and now
Im in a dream-world, cliff-top, my private sundown
And if the wind comes and tries to blow me off the ledge
Ill be falling still clutching my dreams until Im dead
And how I feel today, tomorrow wont apply
Landed in a rock pool, survived cos I refuse to die
Now, what this Braintax thing is really all about is:
Utilising your brain can give you more clout
My mind keeps me positive when the world gets me down
I close my eyes and orange dots melt my stony frown
I stay looking ahead like a figurehead
My ship drifts, bouncing my physical while my mind lifts
Its all about a vivid life, more colour, it's a new day,
Snap your skull, chase the blues away
We splash lime, scales climb and diminish
Creating every image off the top of me
And times never stopping me
Therapist tried hard to be a hedonist but only Earths rockin me
These drugs are good though they're blocking me
They're nice when they're free
And help ease the pain when it feels lifes knockin me
Ill get the roof terrace and the olive grove,
The swimming pool, home in the sun
Somewhere on the globe there's a place
So Im a ship in the night
Weighing anchor in the place where my soul feels right.
