Mailbag so heavy And feet covered in sores I walk muddy paths and no paths at all But I walk with nature She's a good friend to me And I'll start to praise her As soon as I'm free
Three letters for Arton and one for Defu Twenty miles home and then I'll through But there's no rest for the wicked And there'll be none for me I'll start my real work And in heaven I'll be
I'll build my own cathedral Towering up to the sky I can hear them all laughing And wondering why... I'm just a humble postman But following God's master plan I'll build him a cathedral Build it the best that I can
For more than three decades I've built everyday Staircases and towers Stone, wire and clay And when I'm finished, finished quite soon I will start working on building my own tomb

BMX Bandits - My Girl Midge My girl Midge, we met when I was broken Didn't think it would work But still I was hoping she would make me feel alive again I would see love in her eyes and then I could grow
BMX Bandits - It's In Her Eyes When she says she loves me my soul feels warm When she says she needs me I'm where I belong People want to know why she's got this hold It's in her eyes and the way
BMX Bandits - Way Of The Wolf I feel I'm trapped alone in the woods Don't know which way to go You want to take my hand and show me the way Help me find my road home This has been a strange
