it doesn't matter, i can see whatever happens to me i've been cut, but it's not that deep i'll go home for a little sleep i don't know if i can find i don't care if you don't mind i don't care what to find i don't care, i'll look behind it doesn't matter, i know who cares where i go? i've been cut but i'll heal at least i know how i feel i don't know if i can write i don't care if you don't fight i don't know what to write i don't care, there's no light it doesn't matter, i hear my big umbrella is here i've been cut but i like blood could be worse; it could've been mud ba ba ba . . . . .

You See Eye 04:00
eye to eye, once again eye to eye, man's best friend keep so still, do not move take the test, you've got to prove all for one, one for all you take care, you're so small you see eye, i see you all the things we shouldn't do face to face, i see eye face to face, before we die neck and neck, we pick our corn side by side, since we were born one for all, and all for one you take care, but still have fun i see you, you see eye all the things we couldn't try

i was wanderin' around, good times gone to the ground i was sleepin' around, with a hop a leap and a bound i was comin' around, clap your hands, get with the sound i was lookin' around, feelin' lost, but i was found (chorus) i was wanderin' around, keep your ear to the ground i was wanderin' around, listen out for the sound gonna shake up this town . . . . . yeah! i was wanderin' around, feelin' i nearly drowned i was hangin' around, so high your feet won;t touch the ground i was runnin' around, green grass on the big mound i was jumpin' around, with a kiss a wish and a pound (chorus) gonna shake up this town . . . . . yeah! with my wanderin' around
12.
walking through a field, i fetch my stick walking through my forest, i'm not taking stick where have you gone, i'm all alone come back now, which way is home? what am i supposed to say? just relax, put up your feet in the sky, feel the heat i can see a farm from here a lilting voice, so very clear there's plenty for you to do walking home, it takes three hours i can feel your magic powers i feel a smile on my face never been to a happier place i'm in love with this
