about

Recorded live during a television performance, this dirge featuring Ken on solo acoustic guitar relates to the burden of physical and mental disability.

lyrics

He came from a land of cotton
Under a blue blue sky
But all he ever got your people
Was their lies

He worked and he laboured
And tried to please them all
But even a strong man
Without love, is bound to fall

He never had a chance to live
What we’d call a life
No father and no mother
Never had a loving wife

He needed more love
Than the world could give him
He needed more love
Than the world could spare

He needed more love
Than the world could give him
Do you care? Do you care?

Sometimes he’d make it up
In his electric chair
And try to please us all
And show us how to care

When I heard that he left us
When I heard that he died
And we could make room for another
I wrote down this song and I cried

You needed more love
Than the world could give you
You needed a world that could care
You needed a world that could give you…

Are you there? Are you there?
Are you there? Are you there?
Are you there? Are you there?
Are you there? Are you there?
Are you there?
