Verse 1:
(E) Big Pharma he don't wanna kill you,

And this ain't no joke.
He'll (E) only want you dead,
When the money's gone and you're broke:
(B) Big Pharma he don't wanna kill you,
So take my advice,

With your Script in your hand.

Even if you’re sick;
(E7) But he’ll happily entertain you,

And it’s nothing to do with luck.
Cos (E) he knows that if you’re seriously ill,
He can make a real big buck:

Crazy Dream (c) Darryl John 2015
Verse 1:
Last night I had this crazy dream,
Was at a shop buying ice cream:
But when the time came for me to pay,
I had no money so I went on my way,
Went on my way.
Verse 2:
I was walking along the road,
Met a man carrying a heavy load.
I said buddy can I lend you a hand, he said
No thanks mister but I understand,
Think I understand.
Chorus:
Crazy dream, what could it mean,
It really makes you, want to scream,
All things strange, all seem unreal,
Words or something, that I feel.
Verse 3:
I went walking down the street,
Spotted a man with two left feet.
So I asked him could he dance, he said
You know I’d love to but I don’t get the chance,
Really don’t get the chance.
Verse 4:
Met a lady with a crooked nose,
Then I noticed she had fourteen toes.
I wondered how she got her shoes on,
She told me she buys them extra long,
Buys them extra long.
Chorus:
Crazy dream, what could it mean,
It really makes you, want to scream,
All things strange, all seem unreal,
Words or something, that I feel.
Verse 5:
Saw a man who had just one leg,
He had no arms but three eyes in his head.
Red amber green gave me a fright,
I realised he was a traffic light,
Just a traffic light.
Verse 6:
Last night I had this crazy dream,
Was at a shop buying ice cream.
But when the time came for me to pay,
I had no money so I ran away,
Just ran away.
Chorus:
Crazy dream, what could it mean,
It really makes you, want to scream,
All things strange, all seem unreal,
Words or something, that I feel.
Ending:
Last night I had this crazy dream,
Last night I had a crazy dream,
Had a crazy dream.

Black Dog (c) Darryl John 2014
Capo on 3
Verse 1:
The black dog is following me
He’s the one you cannot see
But we know where he’ll be found
You only have to look around
Verse 2:
You know he’s always on your trail
Hoping that you’ll surely fail
Giving you life feeling down
Killing you without a sound
Chorus:
People you know seem annoyed
Feeling panic not overjoyed
Living like you’re in a void
Even leaves you acting paranoid
Verse 3:
You wonder if he is your friend
But you’ll know better in the end
Is this what it’s like to go insane
With all of this unsighted pain
Verse 4:
You need help for this you know
But is there any place to go
With something you’ve never known
Feeling isolated and alone
Chorus:
People you know seem annoyed
Feeling panic not overjoyed
Living like you’re in a void
Even leaves you acting paranoid
Ending:
Black dog look what you’ve done
Robbed my life of joy and fun
Black dog of dread and fear
Get yourself away from here
Black dog leave me alone
You’re the worst that I have known
Oh black dog just go away
Find a cure for this I pray
This I pray!
