Never ain't nothin'
What's he got in that sack
I don't think a football
Would be dripping like that
I bet if you scrape his fingernails
You’ll find enough to put that boy in jail
Never ain't nothin', always somethin' going on
They said she was a spinster
And that she never was wed
But her sisters were dumbstruck
When the will it was read
She had a son living in the Ukraine,
Two in France and a daughter in Spain
Never ain't nothin', always somethin' going on
I know you think I'm a stupid old man
But I'm always proved right
It's not gone, it's in his other hand
Ahhh, you only see what's in the light
He says he's so complicated
That you can't figure him out
He's got so many layers
He can't do nothing about
Says he's like an onion and I know why
He never fails to make the women cry
Never ain't nothin', always somethin' going on
I know you think I'm a mean hearted cynic
But i'm never proved wrong
You see the box, but i see what's in it
Ahhh, just keep your rose-tinted's on
Never ain't nothin'
Sometimes you gotta dig deep
Check the back of your cupboards
Trust the doubts in your sleep
And while your digging up those bones
Be sure to keep one eye on your own
Never ain't nothin', always somethin' going on

Holy Water

A droplet risen from the sea
Falls from a cloud over Galilee
Splashing on the saviours knee
Washing away the sins from he
Holy water, holy water
There's forgiveness in every drop
Holy water, holy water
May the rain never stop
The drop trickled down to his feet
And fell on the dust of sun baked street
Rose as steam in the heat
A turn of the cycle now complete
Holy water, holy water
There's forgiveness in every drop
Holy water, holy water
May the rain never stop
Now all the other drops up there are transmuted
Is their holiness the same or has it been diluted
Can their power of redemption be disputed
Does it cleanse us or do we make it polluted
Holy water, holy water
There's forgiveness in every drop
Holy water, holy water
May the rain never stop
Holy water, holy water
There's forgiveness in every drop
Holy water, holy water
May the rain never stop
Whatever your religion
Choose acceptance not division
For the rain doesn't choose
Who it falls upon
