One World, One Life (Lyrics and Music: Tim Hunter © 2018)
We’ve Only Got One World
What goes wrong we’ll try to mend
We’ve Only Got One Life
When it’s gone it’s gone, my friend
Don’t neglect the countryside
We must respect all the wildlife
What is left we’ve got to save, the landscape’s being paved
When it’s gone it’s gone - for future generations
We’ve Only Got One World
What goes wrong we’ll try to mend
We’ve Only Got One Life
When it’s gone it’s gone, my friend
Let’s preserve just a little space
Don’t we all deserve some solace?
Preserve tranquillity and quality of life
When it’s gone it’s gone - for future generations
Greenbelt goes under their wheels
Ask yourself, how would do you feel
If there was only concrete and steel?
One World, One Life
One World, One Life
One World, One Life
One World, One Life
We’ve Only Got One World
What goes wrong we’ll try to mend
We’ve Only Got One Life
When it’s gone it’s gone, my friend

The Pathway of Light (Le Chemin de la Lumière)
(Lyrics and music: T. Hunter)
Follow The Pathway of Light, that guides you through the night
Follow The Pathway of Light, that guides you to what’s right
Don’t be deflected as you walk along the way,
Don’t be dejected by the things that people say
‘Cos they have no inner light and they really envy you
And the faultlines in their lives are starting to show through
Follow The Pathway of Light, that guides you through the night
Follow The Pathway of Light, that guides you to what’s right
Le Chemin de la Lumière, encore j’espère
Le Chemin de la Lumière, encore j’espère
So stay connected don’t get tangled up with weeds,
You have selected the right way to proceed
‘Cos their minds are always closed and they cannot see what’s right
You will leave them far behind as you reach for the heights
Overcome the inner darkness and let the light prevail
On the ocean of tranquillity you can set sail

Quiet World (Tim Hunter: Music and lyrics © 2018)
Quiet World, Quiet World
Quiet World, Quiet World
Got a quiet world (Quiet World) and it must not be disturbed (Quiet World)
Got a quiet voice (Quiet Voice) but I still want to be heard (Quiet Voice)
But I still need someone somebody who cares
But I still need someone somebody to share
The Quiet World with me
Quiet World, Quiet World
There are Quiet words (Quiet Words) that still need to be heard (Quiet Words)
Not for me the noisy crowd
For me that’s much too loud
Not for me the push and shove
Only want to find true love
With a Quiet Girl (Quiet Girl) in a Quiet World (Quiet World)
There are Quiet Times (Quiet Times)
Where confusion’s left behind
But I still need someone somebody who cares
But I still need someone somebody to share
The Quiet World with me
Quiet World, Quiet World
A quiet place, a warm embrace
I want to see a friendly face
In a world of dreams and mystery
And villages down by the sea
In a Quiet World, Quiet World
In our Quiet World
But I still need someone somebody who cares
But I still need someone somebody to share
The Quiet World with me

Back to the sunshine
It’s lovely to be here once again
It’s back to the goodtimes
It’s back to the days that never end
Back to the sunshine
Back to the sunshine
Hello, hello my friend
It’s lovely to be here again
We’ve so many postcards to send
‘bout days that just never end
It’s back to the sunshine
It’s lovely to be here once again
It’s back to the goodtimes
It’s back to the days that never end
Back to the sunshine
Back to the sunshine
We’re travelling oh so high
We’ve flying towards the blue sky
We’re travelling so many miles
To be with the people who smile
Though it may be for just at day or two
It’s lovely to be here,
We’d like to stay with you
Forever and ever
Forever and ever
Back to the sunshine
Back to the sunshine

The Catman (Tim Hunter words and music) © 2018
The Catman of Old Amsterdam
he’s the only one who knows;
he’s the one who understands
the masterplan Oh the Catman
He’s the only one the only one who understands
That the cat gods will return to save us all
oh the Catman oh oh oh
He knows the cats are our true friends
They’ll be With us to the end;
The lessons that we have to learn and the messages he sends
everybody hears
In ancient times they read our minds and then they took control
But they’re only here, only here, to save our lonely souls
With eyes of yellow and eyes of green
How come you always look serene
Eyes of brown eyes of blue
How come you always know what’s true
You always do,

And bring a smile to all the boys and girls
Once again the sun is gonna shine
Once again we’re gonna have goodtimes

The Goddess of the Glen
(words and music: Tim Hunter © 2018)
When she rules in winter and a tear falls from her eye
Then the heavens open, icy rain falls from the sky
When she is the Winter Queen and blows us a cold, cold kiss
Then the sky is darkened and there’s snowfall and there’s mist
She’s the Goddess of the Glen Like the forest she’s our friend
And her love she sends The Goddess of the Glen
When the winter freeze is at an end and it’s time for Spring
For the summer months she rules till, the autumn time begins
When she rules in Summer and puts on her pretty smile
And then the sun shines brightly and it’s summer for a while
When she is the Summer Queen and sheds some golden hair
It grows the golden wheat fields giving us ale for all to share

Going Offline (Music and Lyrics: Tim Hunter © 2018)
Do you really need to show,
Everything you know
All of the time?
Do you really have to share,
With people everywhere
Your secrets on line?
Oh oh can’t you see we need some privacy?
Oh oh you and me we need some mystery?
I’m Going Offline, I’ll loosen my mind
Going Offline, Going Offline
I’m Going Offline
I’m Going Offline, don’t know what I’ll find
When I’m offline, When I’m offline
I’m Going Offline
We do we always meet in cyberspace?
Why can’t we sometimes meet in a real place?
Face to Face?
We don’t always need to post,
Don’t always have to boast
The real world is fine
‘Cos it’s really not a game,
It’ll never win you fame
It’s time to decline
Oh oh can’t you see we need some privacy?
Oh oh you and me we need some mystery?
I’m Going Offline, I’ll loosen my mind
Going Offline, Going Offline
I’m Going Offline
I’m Going Offline, don’t know what I’ll find
When I’m offline, When I’m offline
I’m Going Offline

Sing this song together (Tim Hunter Lyrics and music © 2018)
Sing this song together
Sing this song forever
Whenever you’re feelin’ blue
All you have got to do
Is Sing This Song Together
When it seems like
You’re never win
Don’t ever give in
And Sing This Song Together
Sing this song together
Sing this song forever
You know this is not the end
You know we’ll still be friends
Sing This Song Together
You know that I’m going
Yes I’m going my own way
But we’ll be OK
Let’s Sing This Song Together
Sing this song
Before we say goodbye
Sing this song
There’s no need to cry
Just Sing This Song
Sing this song together
Sing this song forever
You know that you’re in my heart
Even when we’re apart
Sing This Song Together
If you ever feel alone
Just pick up the telephone
And we’ll Sing This Song Together
If you’re ever feelin’ down
You know I’ll still be around
So Sing This Song Together, now!

Tea Tray In The Sky
(Lyrics & Music: Tim Hunter)
Sarah: (Chorus)
So high we will fly, On a Tea Tray In The Sky. So high we will fly, On a Tea Tray In The Sky
We’ll fly over land, we’ll Fly over Sea
Just take my hand, We’ll be back home for tea, back home for tea
Chorus
We’ll fly in the night, we’ll fly in the day
We’re bound for the past, so far away
Tea Tray In The Sky, Tea Tray In The Sky
Tea Tray In The Sky, Tea Tray In The Sky
Chorus
I will not feel alone, Without internet or mobile phones, ‘cos I’m heading for home
This time I’ll not roam
Chorus

(Lost socks in) The Cosmic Launderette
(Lyrics and music: Tim Hunter)
Cosmic Launderette, spinning round and round and round
And then you just forget who you are
It’s better than the washing line of space and time
You sometimes find that things get lost – don’t lose your mind
Cosmic Launderette what can we do just me and you
Lost socks in the Cosmic Launderette
Let’s rock in the Cosmic Launderette
Cosmic Launderette, soap powder of asteroids and debris from the void
Of beyond
It’s better than using the stream of consciousness
You sometimes find that things get lost in forgetfulness
Cosmic Launderette what can we do just me and you
Lost socks in the Cosmic Launderette
Let’s rock in the Cosmic Launderette
