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 04:21
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
