Simple Song by Jim

Jim, Frazer, Tim, Ruth

(From Tape Three)

gonna write a simple song
that says what i wanna say
the melody is clear and strong
so you can all sing and play…along

sing along
…it goes

na na, na na, na na na…..

I could tell you
what i’ve learned about
love is all i’ve really learned about
love is all that always works
love is all
love is all… …that’s all

love’s all i want from you
love is all i give you, freely
love’s all i wish for all of you
love yourself completely…that’s all

is that simple enough, for you
it seems simple enough to me
is love simple enough, for you
it seems simple enough to me
of course it is

love’s all, that’s all
love’s all, that’s all
its simple, of course it is!

 Me Two 

Me Two,three four five six
Sticks and stones may break my bones
but names will never
Streetwise anarchist or nice asian girl
Clashing of cultures my minds in a whirl
The me that is me shines like a pearl.

I'm a light brown coconut turned inside out
Scraped dry by expectations I act like a lout
Cursing and spitting arms flailing I'm mad
I shout from the rooftops I'm me so I am
And if you don't like it then fuck off and die.

But instead I sit demurely have another cup of tea
Does my hair look ok,shall I wear this sari?
Are you covered in chocolate
Does it come off in the bath
Don't get upset we're only having a laugh
Cold curry for breakfast,love on a plate
Kirribath and lunu miris,machung means mate
Man I'm not lying when I say I am my roots

I'm a tree with many branches,a strong standing oak
Bo-tree with many branches been mistaken for a bloke
Man.woman,black white beige
We're all the fucking same I scream out in rage
It's all the same old game I don't even know my name,
Mel,Melissa,Melly,Smelly akki
I might be Italian or even a paki
A carib,an arab a gypsy rose lee
Times I don't know who I really want to be.

I'm a half and half baby,a mixed up kid
Looking for answers I did what I did
I did what I did what I had to do
Beautiful skin colour wish I looked like you
People say like I'm locked in a zoo
Needing identity I'm all things and none
Multi personality a schizophrenic on the run
Running from myself I've been running so long
I've screwed up my health
Oh the stories I could tell of the things I have seen
On my travels round myself to find out who I am
In this world of dualities I feel like a sham
Not black enough not white enough
Not fucking mixed race enough
Most of my life I've been a spectator
At other peoples parties
Halfcaste
Traitor

Me two three four five six
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But names will never
I might be Italian or even a paki
A carib,an arab,a gypsy rose lee
I think I know who I want to be

A masala of surprises a free floating dream
Cos things are never quite what they seem
Rainbow of possiblities, moon and the sun
Skipping between worlds a goddess having fun
I'm a zebra a panda a piebald pony
If you speak to me softly my name means honey
I'm a many petalled dog rose I'm a lotus on the water
A child of the universe and a dutiful daughter.
Me two walking between worlds.
Me
One.

natures calling your name

Tribal people walking hand in hand,
walking the ancient paths across this land
breathing in the whispers of the deserts sands
I heard nature calling my name

swimming in the oceans of eternity
as the dolphins splashed around of me
carrying their message far beyond the sea
nature's calling my name

and the message is clear
and the words rang true
that the spirits alive in me and you 
feel the love as she embraces you
nature's calling your name.

nature's calling your name
nature's calling your name

nature's calling your name
nature's calling your name

butterflies dancing across the sky
signal changes in my mind
floating free on a summer's day
nature's calling my name

and the message is clear
and the words rang true
that the spirit's alive in me and you
feel the love as she embraces you 
nature's calling your name

nature's calling your name
nature's calling your name

nature's calling your name
nature's calling your name

seven sisters call to me 
they carry the seeds of our ancestry
pulsing light to every part of me
nature's calling my name

and the message is clear
and the words rang true
that the spirits alive in me and you
feel the love as she embraces you
nature's calling your name x 4
