“American Dream” © 2019 Written by Drew David Allen / PRS (CAE: 778511713) My home town, waiting for the train to catch me The bankers on his main course trying to keep his head low In London, the cast files through the alley The preachers on his high horse ready for the next show I look up at Rhianna, seen Rhianna outside the gallery With a smile, she owned me, with a smile she owned me The moonlit city falls away from my feet She looks so pretty carnival on the street The drunken heavies singin’ what goes up, it must come down Mr Jones I too have seen the lines all blur As I roll up my sleeves in the Harlequin breeze of an Indian summer There’s distance tween a wrong and right Just enough to see the light Don’t go breaking, my American dream The rat race keeps on keeps on forgiving As she dances all night to the Soho heartbeat Sweet sweet Rhianna, I’m gonna write songs for a livin’ And the radio ’ill play me, someday baby Honey it’s a long and it’s a winding road It feels so wrong to hide my feelings, they explode While Silicone sister keeps spinning around, for some even ground “Show me a Little Mercy” © 2013 Written by Drew David Allen / PRS (CAE: 778511713) The painter paints a million saints, they excel in their new design He, in turn, has his own concern how many tares to sew this time Shallowness pastes its bitter tastes down every avenue but mine Where the cold winter still spreads it’s sin and the darkness paints the mood I’m in [Chorus] Baby show me a little mercy It really ain’t like me to get mixed up Spilling my senses through a broken cup But it ain’t easy when you're on your own Oxford man has only ever ran but he needs something new to chase A plan in place just in case he forgets to tie his own shoelace A cult reborn sticks it’s thorn into the tendering side of grace Whichever way the wind blows, whichever way the river flows [Repeat Chorus] The blinds are drawn but when the light shines through Forget me I shall have forgotten you It never felt right but that’s fine because Cos’ nothing interesting ever does Walking around this coastal town and I don’t know the time or day Wouldn’t you know it a puppet dressed as a poet knows the only way Keeps on going never thinks of slowing as long as there's a message to convey Speaking honestly as sweet or bitter as the fruit may be I’m the one to blame you see, I met an angel and plunged recklessly Show a little mercy to me Baby show me a little mercy It really ain’t like me to get mixed up Spilling my senses through a broken cup But it ain’t easy on your own The blinds are drawn but when the light shines through Forget me I shall have forgotten you It never felt right but that’s fine because Cos’ nothing interesting ever does
