Music Without Labels It really is a wonderful thing when British artists have their own distinct soulfulness in their voices. Lifford has this to spare and it 'shines' through in abundance. Always happy playing his tunes on Music Without Labels Radio shows on Soulpower-radio and TWR. Favorite track: Shine.

Sippin 03:45
You come again and I feel, I feel like I'm falling falling falling for you again. If there was ever a moment that I did'nt know what to do It's right now. I hear my mind repeating those words every line. If there was ever a doubt in my heart about what I'd do when I saw you. And then with a smile I believe every line you tell me. Helplessly I'm Sipping on your love.

Boxes 03:34
Yellow boxes and guiding lines tell me where to go The little red man says wait your turn It's someone elses time to move Life mapped out before us, school college uni job then wife Thats why I wanna make some curves, they make come alive So what do we do ? What do we do ? Lets get rid of the boxes forget the lines I don't really need your arrows guiding me through my life Gather all my players create a symphony Let's adnce dance dance dance dance dance till we're free.

I'm just walking down this long and dusty road This open space and darkness is all I know The only thing that gets me throuhg the night Is knowing that you'll be there waiting at the end of the line. So let the rain pour down on me And when the sky turns to grey I'm on my knees So let the rain pour down on me And when my eyes fill up with water Your all I need.

Karma 03:30
Bust out of school with a smile hrought he park Spring thime don't walk hiome in the dark but he never knew it was his time He only crossed your border line Young blood flows like mothers tears Been in this world for just 15 years and you made a call told your crew Now your someone to look up to Karma, don't you worry take your time Karma, now you've gone and crossed the line Karma, that's what you get for a life of grime You'll hear knock on your door She's coming to get you

Shine 06:40
It's all about the peace and love and trying to get it right As I go round the wheel of love It akes for a busy life Spread a little of your love Let it reach out to someone who may need your touch, just give it up Your only using half your heart if It's just for pumping blood If I we're drowning would'nt you be there Throw me a float let's get outta here Words are okay you gotta show you care or my everything counts for nothing Remove the shade so I can see I wanna know who's loving me How will Iknow your there and that you care for me So shine so I can see I wanna know who's loving me I wanna fell what you fell so make it real to me Just let your love come down. There's something bout the feel of love that keep me coming back There's never 1 2 3 in love your moving forward then your counting back I got a lot to learn, all about love and all It's twists and turns Don't want another burn no way. It's hard to have someone and know It's real Hard to love them and know the deal It's about trust do you own that skill ? It's evrything, my everything Let it fall on my just like rain Every emotoin you felt today You never know maybe I felt the same OO talk to me and let me see.

Night Reign 03:47
Colder and colder it gets There's no shelter from what I really need to know Look over my shoulder into the past, fantasies that wern't mine but I hold the stills left behind. Could you tell him he is older now now Could you tell him he don't have to go now Can you show him how to love himslf now The rain and night flames It never leaves me alone It's always there when I fall Saying baby baby baby come home Remember all thoses It's gonna be okay's Why didn't you love Greater and greater the need to see So I can protect the boy before he spoils completely It;s a challenge when everythign you do seems impossible Your fucked up mind lies to you lies to you Can tell him he is older no now Can tell he don't have to cry now What good do tears do anyway now The rain and night flames It never leaves me alone It's always there when I fall Saying baby baby baby come home Remember all thoses It's gonna be okay's Why didn't you love

Lonely 04:12
There's so many things I have to think about, have to think about coz they wont be left out Messing with my being and my summer smile, my sun rays I feel once in a while I know that I'm differnt and this should make me proud shoul make me wanna celebrate and laugh out loud but all it does is bring me down But you don't owe me a thing Not nearly as mucha s I owe myself No you don't owe me a thing I'd be a fool to be expecting I get so lonely put somethig on me babe Make it okay and warm my heart again I get so lonely put something on me babe Won't you just hold me, hold me yeh Buried in the corners the corners of my mind in small boxes covered up lies Soaked in Gin gasping for life waiting for a chance to have another try Things are so differnt so much has cahnged so why do my memories keep me in chains Telling tales of yesterday But you don't owe me a thing Not nearly as mucha s I owe myself No you don't owe me a thing I'd be a fool to be expecting I get so lonely put somethig on me babe Make it okay and warm my heart again I get so lonely put something on me babe Won't you just hold me, hold me yeh.

This is unsafe I could fall deeper I could spen my days just thinking baby There's no other way to do this Than to give you my all It's time to prove it prove it yeh Over and over again we talk the same thing Your job your job is on your brain on your lips Tell me now tell it tell it again we will fina a way And all this time we spent togeher ain't in vain What time is there for love, all your tme is taken up Every second every minute I wonder why your not with me What time is there for love you never never put it forst or second or third.
