Own Two Hands

I can change the world with my own two hands
Make a better place with my own two hands
Make a kinder place, oh with my, oh with my own two hands
With my own, with my own two hands
With my own, with my own two hands
I could make peace on earth with my own two hands
I could clean up the earth with my own two hands
I can reach out to you oh with my own two hands
With my own, with my own two hands
With my own, with my own two hands
I'm gonna make it a brighter place
With my own
I'm gonna make it a safer place
With my own
I'm gonna help the human race
With my own, with my own two hands
I can hold you with my own two hands
I can comfort you with my own two hands
But you got to use, use your own two hands
Use your own, use your own two hands
Use your own two hands
With your own, with your own two hands
With your, with your, with our own two hands

Chasing the Tide Away
04:27
|

Oh we're here all day
waiting for the mushrooms to kick in and play
sand in our hair
we're drunk on the sea and the salty air
oh we're here all night
drinking homemade punch until the morning light
dancing in the moonlight
we contemplate the ways of life
oh the story goes
work a nine to five until you're grey and old
well we say no no no
oh we're chasing the tide away
we're chasing the tide away
we're chasing
oh we're chasing the tide away
we're chasing the tide away
we're chasing
oh the sun it glows
we're stretching out like cats on the patio
oh and we don't care
we have no place to be so we'll stay right here
oh so young and free
we see
that we can be
the person in our wildest dreams
oh the fable says
money buys you happiness so work all day
well we say no no no
oh we're chasing the tide away
we're chasing the tide away
we're chasing
oh we're chasing the tide away
we're chasing the tide away
we're chasing
oh the fat cats shout
economic growth is what it's all about
well we say no no no
oh we're chasing the tide away
we're chasing the tide away
we're chasing
oh we're chasing the tide away
we're chasing the tide away
we're chasing

January Blues
03:26
|

I dot the January blues
the sad syndrome
i cant go outside
i'm lost in grey tones
it's a long way to the sun
it's too far to run
so here i'll be
i watched the starlings fly away
my heart beat with their wings
flew south on holiday
now there ain't no song to sing
it's a long way to the light
i didn't catch the flight
so here i'll be
you might say cheer up love it ain't so bad
you got so much going on no reason to be down
but i can see and you can see that what you say is true
i don't feel like living with the January blues
I got the January blues
I got the January blues
it's a simple case
it's mellow tone inside my head gone low
it's a long way to the warmth
i'm too far north
so here i'll be
you might say cheer up love it ain't so bad
you got so much going on no reason to be down
but i can see and you can see that what you say is true
i don't feel like living with the January blues
I got the January blues
I got the January blues
I dot the January blues
the sad syndrome
i cant go outside
i'm lost in grey tones
it's a long way to the sun
it's too far to run
so here i'll be
but you wont see me for a while
you wont see me for a while
you wont see me for a while
you wont see me for a while

Travelling Light

Travelling light
Watch me walk through the flames of the fire
Watch me walk
Watch me swim in the waves of the water
Watch me swim
Oooh the waves ooh the flames
I'm the travelling girl from the other side
Travelling light, travelling light, travelling light
Oh I'm travelling light
Watch me crawl in the dirt in the soil
Watch me crawl
Watch me breathe in the air and uncoil
Watch me breathe
Oooh the air ooh the earth
I'm the travelling girl from the other side
Travelling light, travelling light, travelling light
Oh I'm travelling light
Travelled north south west and east
Where I arrive is where I leave
Wherever I am is where I'll be
The elements are part of me
I'm the travelling girl from the other side
Travelling light, travelling light, travelling light
Oh I'm travelling light

Honey Bee
04:27
|
|||
I'm a worker bee for the good of the hive
I’m working off my socks to keep the queen bee alive
I stop at the lavender
Sup at some nectar
Bumble along from one to another
Flowers work their ways to seduce me
Dressing up their petals like a smoking hot bee
I'm the matchmaker
The cross pollinator
Doing my bit for ecology
Won't you love me I'm your honey honey bee
Won't you love me I'm your honey honey bee
Won't you love me I'm your honey honey bee
Won't you save me I'm your honey honey bee
We've got a special recipe for the food of the gods
An antiviral remedy for fighting the colds
That's not our only talent
We can waggle dance
Sharing directions to the flowering plants
But it's difficult times tomorrow looks bleak
Our instinct to survive is having to compete with
Chemical pesticides,
Fungicides, insecticides,
And parasites
Won't you love me I'm your honey honey bee
Won't you love me I'm your honey honey bee
Won't you love me I'm your honey honey bee
Won't you save me I'm your honey honey bee
Oh won't you love me my sweet honey
Won't you love me and my colony
Don't we make your life complete
by making possible everything you eat
Won't you love me I'm your honey honey bee
Won't you love me I'm your honey honey bee
Won't you love me I'm your honey honey bee
Won't you save me I'm your honey honey bee
Oh won't you love me my sweet honey
Won't you love me and my colony
Don't we make your life complete
by making possible everything you eat
Won't you love me I'm your honey honey bee
Won't you love me I'm your honey honey bee
Won't you love me I'm your honey honey bee
Won't you save me I'm your honey honey bee

had to leave you and go away
but i think about you every day
in the morning and in the afternoon
I wish that i could see you soon
and when i heard you i felt so fine
it was like there was
nothing left on my mind
it was like Rockaway Beach in the month of June
I wish that i could see you soon
I have no plans to meet you babe,
I had a million things to do babe,
But it hit my heart with a harpoon,
I wish that i could see you soon
-- The angels go
How long do you can't see her?
And i'm like - the sooner the better
do you really think she'll wait for you?
Well i have no way to say and there's nothing i can do
Well i have no way to say and there's nothing i can do
Now that i'm across the sea i wonder if
you're gonna wait for me
or if you're gonna find
a new boy to spoon
I wish that i could see you soon
And if you
wait a little my pretty friend
until I come back to hold your hand
would be like bugs when they break through the cocoon
you know
I wish that i could see you soon
It has been a while
since i felt like this
and now i've found someone i really miss
under the sun
under the moon
I wish that i could see you soon
How long do you can't see her
And i'm like - the sooner the better
do you really think she'll wait for you?
And i'm like
there's no way to say and there's nothing i can do
And there's no way to say and there's nothing i can do
How long do you can't see her
And i'm like, well, the sooner the better
do you really think she'll wait for you?
And i'm like
there's no way to say and there's nothing i can do
And there's no way to say and there's nothing i can do
And there's no way to say and there's nothing i can do
no way to say and there's nothing i can do

The Fox and the Owl Bournemouth, UK
Influenced by a variety of genres we are a folk band who often draw from Reggae and Blues (both great folk genres) for our
sound.
Originally we played mostly covers but these days our songs are written by the band, crafted with many a environmental, social and politically influenced lyric.
We play because we like it. We hope you like it too.
