My Love’s In Deep
Words and music by Robert Lane
My love’s in deep
And I can’t sleep
It’s too late now
And I just lost my last chance to leave
Oh my love’s in deep
Baby when I saw you I knew just what was going on
My one desire was to have us talking one on one
You invited me out to see your best friend’s band
How you surprised me when you took me by the hand
My love’s in deep
And I can’t sleep
It’s too late now
And I just lost my last chance to leave
Oh my love’s in deep
After the gig was a party and Bowie sang Let’s Dance
Was then you kissed me and I didn’t stand a chance
I took you for dinner but you wouldn’t let me pay
I would learn that you are used to having things your way
My love’s in deep
And I can’t sleep
It’s too late now
And I just lost my last chance to leave
Oh my love’s in deep
Twelve months later on and take a look at us both now
Got this far together and it’s better each day somehow
Where we’re heading I really couldn’t guess
But meeting you has been an unqualified success
My love’s in deep
And I can’t sleep
It’s too late now
And I just lost my last chance to leave
Oh my love’s in deep
My love’s in deep
And I can’t sleep
It’s too late now
And I just lost my last chance to leave
Oh my love’s in deep
My love’s in deep
And I can’t sleep
It’s too late now
And I just lost my last chance to leave
Oh my love’s in deep
My love’s in deep
My love’s in deep
My love’s in deep
My love’s in deep
I took you for dinner but you wouldn’t let me pay
I would find that you are used to having things your way
My love’s in deep
My love’s in deep

It Feels Like 5000 Miles
Words and Music by Robert Lane
Go explore the grounds the local people said
Maybe they would help to clear your head
But anything I’m round any place I go
Just makes it worse I guess they’re not to know
I miss my wife and my daughter
I miss the way they don’t do what I say
I miss my wife and my daughter
How long’s it been
Since I was seen
It feels like 5000 miles
I can overhear the simple facts of life
As passers-by discuss their trouble and strife
At least they have near everything they need
What a foolish life I’ve chosen to lead
I miss my wife and my daughter
I miss the way they don’t do what I say
I miss my wife and my daughter
How long’s it been
Since I was seen
It feels like 5000 miles
These trees are green
The greenest I’ve ever seen
But my favourite colour is black
Flowers don’t come close
To the girls I miss the most
Oh I’m begging you please to take me back
Take me back
I miss my wife and my daughter
I miss the way they don’t do what I say
I miss my wife and my daughter
How longs it been
Since I was seen
It feels like 5000 miles
How long’s it been
It feels like 5000 miles

Break My Heart Blues
Words and Music by Robert Lane
Said don’t you worry baby about breaking my heart
I said now don’t you worry baby about breaking my heart
You know that I’ll do that for you every time that we’re apart
You know I’m going through hell I’m not doing so good
You know I’m going through hell and I’m not doing so good
And you know this time I really thought that I would
I can’t be without you lover you’re like a drug to me
You know I can’t be without you lover you’re like a drug to me
And the last thing that I want is to set myself free
And I don’t do myself no favours I’m my own worst enemy
You know I don’t do myself no favours I’m my own worst enemy
Every name on your wall helps to build my jealousy
Don’t you worry baby about breaking my heart
I said now don’t you worry baby about breaking my heart
You know that I’ll do that for you every time that we’re apart

Wilful Independent
Words and Music by Robert Lane
My child you are not what I expected
You’re wild running free and unprotected
How am I to know what to do with you
Wilful independent
You fail as my descendant
I love you but I don’t understand you
I never will
Show me this change is not a token
Be free maybe not quite so outspoken
You and I both know what to do with you
Wilful independent
You fail as my descendant
I love you but I don’t understand you
I never will
Maybe it was foolish of us to think you’d ever change
I was this way at your age
Wilful independent
I’m glad you are my descendant
I love you and I do understand you
I always will

Tear Drop Tattoo
Words and Music by Robert Lane
One night not a special night I went walking with my gun
Intent on causing pain to it could have been anyone
Could have been anyone
I didn’t even stop to ask my victim’s name
Or to discover the country from which he came
Country from which he came
I murdered a stranger that I had never met
As far as I can see people deserve what they get
Deserve what they get
Because I’m evil, so evil
Please lock me away
After the murder I watched from my hotel
Saw all those people living through my home made hell
Through my home made hell
And I can’t feel remorse for the things that I do
I feel proud enough to carve a tear drop tattoo
Carve a tear drop tattoo
I laughed at his family while standing in the dock
There is a part of me takes pleasure in the shock
Takes pleasure in the shock
Because I’m evil, so evil
Please lock me away
So send me down for as long as you can
Prison is no problem for a man like I am
For a man like I am
One night not a special night I went walking with my gun
Intent on causing pain to it could have been anyone
Could have been anyone

Alone Now
Words and Music by Robert Lane
Alone now I’m alone
In a way I’ve never known
Why am I fighting this beast I’m hiding
When it’s who I am
Given in to desire stoked all my fires
It makes me makes me a man
Alone now I’m alone
In a way I’ve never known
Someone please won’t someone
Explain to me how to move on
I’ve been crying left it dying
Now it’s gone my dignity
I don’t want to fight it does not feel right
And loosing has freed me
Alone now I’m alone
In a way I’ve never known
Someone please won’t someone
Explain to me how to move on
