Many years of desperate attempts to understand women, every time you think you've got it you meet someone who blows your theories apart.

Pensive bluesy look at what makes the opposite sex tick. It's not mysogenistic - I like a mysterious woman.

Lyrics
I've seen the lies in a young girl's eyes, the hurt in an old man's face
I heard The Lord sigh, as the clouds passed by, at the plight of the Human Race
I've felt the pain of an acid rain, running down my face
But a hurtfull snub from the one you love makes you beg for the Holy Grace.
I've done my time and I've walked the line, where Angels fear to tread
I may grow old but I'll never know what goes on in a woman's head.
I've seen the signs of golden times in countries far from home
A goddess fair, with aspen hair, who's looks could turn to stone
I've felt the pride of a new born child, the sorrow of love grown cold
The world won't change while the selfish reign, it waits for the loving souls.
I've done my time and I've walked the line, where Angels fear to tread
I may grow old but I'll never know what goes on in a woman's head.
