Volume I
1. Four Shadow
(instrumental track)
2. Angie
Angie, Angie
when will those clouds all disappear?
Angie, Angie
where will it lead us from here?
with no loving in our souls
and no money in our coats
you can't say we're satisfied
but Angie, Angie
you can't say we never tried
3. Boolay Boolay
Men from space
hovering over the highway
they drop that beam and
soon I am floating around
little people
short and grey
and I thought
I heard them say:
Boolay Boolay
Boolay Boolay
Boolay Boolay Boolay Boolay
Boolay Boolay Boolay Boolay Boolay Boolay!
Boolay Boolay
Boolay Boolay
Boolay Boolay Boolay Boolay
Boolay Boolay Boolay Boolay Boolay Boolay!
Hypnotized while
flying above the horizon
Analyzed and
found out to be surprising
I asked them if
they had some beer
and that's when
I began to hear
Boolay Boolay
Boolay Boolay
Boolay Boolay Boolay Boolay
Boolay Boolay Boolay Boolay Boolay Boolay!
Boolay Boolay
Boolay Boolay
Boolay Boolay Boolay Boolay
Boolay Boolay Boolay Boolay Boolay Boolay!
4. More Than You Do
What can I do
to make you love me
more than you do?
What can I do
to make you love me
more than you do?
What can I do
to make you love me…
'cause I can't hold it back forever
'cause I got love enough for two
but I can't limit my understanding
just because you want me to
What can I do
to make you love me
more than you do?
What can I do
to make you love me
more than you do?
What can I do
to make you love me…
'cause I can't squeeze my love forever
because my heart is turning blue
but I can't limit my understanding
just because you want me to
What can I do
to make you love me
more than you do?
What can I do
to make you love me
more than you do?
What can I do
to make you love me…
'cause I can't hold it back forever
because my love is strong for you
but I can't limit my understanding
just because you want me to
What can I do
to make you love me
more than you do?
What can I do
to make you love me
more than you do?
What can I do
to make you love me…
5. Reach Out
I eat more butter so I don't stutter!
Reach out
don't pout
No doubt
you will lose more
if you don't shout
when
lonely for a friend
this is what love recommends:
holding out your arms
expecting nothing in return
or
blowing out the candle
of your love
before it burns
we're here together
in this funky situation
you've got to..
Reach out
don't pout
No doubt
you will lose more
if you don't shout
Reach out
don't pout
No doubt
you will lose more
if you don't shout
Shine
put it all on the line
let your worry stay behind
toss your hair
into the air
and let your ribbons flow
singing out the suffering
that only heaven knows
we're here together
in this funky situation
you've got to..
Reach out
don't pout
No doubt
you will lose more
if you don't shout
Reach out
don't pout
No doubt
you will lose more
if you don't shout
let's go spinning 'round
let's go spinning 'round
let's go spinning 'round
like the fools we are
hold each other tight
make it last all night
on this ship of fools
breaking all the rules
Lay
there's no need today
to rush around and scare away
all the birds of paradise
around your window sill
blowing love into your heart
when you have time to kill
we're here together
in this funky situation
you've got to..
Reach out
don't pout
No doubt
you will lose more
if you don't shout
Reach out
don't pout
No doubt
you will lose more
if you don't shout
6. I'm Your Daddy

7. Dolphin
Sleeping in a waking dream
swimming with my favourite dolphin
frankincense and mermaids in jeans
'cause things ain't always
What they seem
When you choose to LABEL me
you keep YOURSELF from being free
and I am free!
DOLPHIN
Come visit with me anytime
DOLPHIN
Come visit with me anytime
I will follow your love forever
'cause I see the flame
when I look into your eyes
when I look into your eyes
when I look into your eyes
DOLPHIN
Swimming at the break of day
Traded my slippers for my flippers
And threw all my anchors aweigh
& eavesdrop when Dolphin say:
When you choose to LABEL me
you keep YOURSELF from being free
and I am free!
DOLPHIN
Come visit with me anytime
DOLPHIN
Come visit with me anytime
I will follow your love forever
'cause I see the flame
when I look into your eyes
when I look into your eyes
when I look into your eyes
DOLPHIN
Dolphin easy,
Dolphin sad
But Dolphin never get too mad
My heart was dead
Until I met her
But she kissed my heart
and made it better
She kissed my heart
and made it better
She kissed my heart
and made it better
She kissed my heart
and made it better
And now I rise up,
'cause I have wised up
I'm sleeping in a waking dream
swimming with my favourite dolphin
frankincense and mermaids in jeans
'cause things ain't always
What they seem
When you choose to LABEL me
you keep YOURSELF from being free
and I am free!
DOLPHIN
Come visit with me anytime
DOLPHIN
Come visit with me anytime
I will follow your love forever
'cause I see the flame
when I look into your eyes
when I look into your eyes
when I look into your eyes
DOLPHIN
8. Time Takes Time
Time takes time to be time
or the words might not fit into the rhyme
Wine takes time to be wine
and the grapes must not break before the vine
If you have a dream
May it run on steam
And seem
Like your golden dream
Time takes time to be time
or fresh pain will cut you like a knife
Night takes day to be night
so the nightingales can rest before the flight
If you have a dream
May it run on steam
And seem
Like your golden dream
…and seem like your golden dream
9. Share Your Pain
I've seen your thunderclouds and I've seen your rain
But I love you more when you share your pain with me
I've seen the winds of change swallow your seeds of grain
But I love you more when you share your pain with me
Dream your dream
Dream lover
Light the dawn
'cause when you dream
another light goes on
Dream your dream
Dream lover
Light the dawn
'cause when you dream
another light goes on
10. We Are The Living
We ought to be living together as one
and not fighting apart as two
but that is a sentiment
that's bound to be mocked
without reason
as sure as my name
has changed the game
we will do all that we can do
to fill up the ranks
with fewer tanks
and more thanks
for our seasons
another sandman sells us his master plan
We are the living!
We are the living!
LAMA SABA THANAI
We are the living!
We are the living!
AND WE'D RATHER FIGHT THAN DIE!
We ought to be praying together
that we're not laying together
dead
because of the differences
that shake up like fizz
with our neighbours
as sure as the sun is shining
we must be redefining
love
and concentrate
on what we lose
if we wait
with our labour
another sandman sells us his master plan
We are the living!
We are the living!
LAMA SABA THANAI
We are the living!
We are the living!
AND WE'D RATHER FIGHT THAN DIE!
People on the left and people on the right
their children are dying
fathers are pacing
and at the windows facing
mothers are crying
while senators are lying
We are the living!
We are the living!
LAMA SABA THANAI
We are the living!
We are the living!
AND WE'D RATHER FIGHT THAN DIE!
11. It Ain't Been Easy
I know that
IT AIN'T BEEN EASY
I feel your pain
I feel your pain
I know that
IT AIN'T BEEN EASY
I feel your pain
HERE WE GO AGAIN!
How long must I stand and beg
for someone else's daddy
to unchain my leg?
How long must I stand and beg
for someone else's daddy
to unchain my leg,
unchain my leg?
I know that
IT AIN'T BEEN EASY
I see your blood
I see your blood
I know that
IT AIN'T BEEN EASY
I see your blood
falling like a flood
How long must I stand and beg
for someone else's daddy
to unchain my leg?
How long must I stand and beg
for someone else's daddy
to unchain my leg,
unchain my leg?
it goes on & on & on & on
on & on & on & on
SANANDA
is my name
and I was dead before
I ever knew the game
I only sleep
'til dawn
to remind myself:
it goes on & on & on & on
on & on & on & on
I know that
IT AIN'T BEEN EASY
and I know it has
to make you laugh
I know that
IT AIN'T BEEN EASY
A golden calf
BUT NOT ON OUR BEHALF!
How long must I stand and beg
for someone else's daddy
to unchain my leg?
How long must I stand and beg
for someone else's daddy
to unchain my leg,
unchain my leg?
unchain my leg,
unchain my leg?
HOW LONG?
12. Psychotherapy
All in all
I ramble slowly
down the back streets where they know me
All in all
I felt degraded
it left me less than stimulated
All in all
I sowed my treasures
and sold them for the empty pleasures
All in all
I felt degraded
All in all
I was the mystery killer
I was the mercury filler
I laid down and wished I was dead
I woke up and found out that I was
I was the mystery killer
I was the mercury filler
I laid down and wished I was dead
I woke up
and found out that I was
All in all
I painted pictures
with fading light and fading fixtures
All in all
the mystery's over
I rolled it with a four leaf clover
All in all
the clouds were forming
around the castles I was storming
All in all
the mystery's over
All in all
I was the mystery killer
I was the mercury filler
I laid down and wished I was dead
I woke up and found out that I was
I was the mystery killer
I was the mercury filler
I laid down and wished I was dead
I woke up and found out that I was
All in all
I left my powers
in a bed of bushy flowers
All in all
I took the credit
(and now I'd rather soon forget it)
I was the mystery killer
I was the mercury filler
I laid down and wished I was dead
I woke up and found out that I was
I was the mystery killer
I was the mercury filler
I laid down and wished I was dead
I woke up and found out that I was
13. Bella Faccina
Sei una donna moderna
Ti mantieni da sola
Sei indipendente
Tell me: 'are you a buyer or are you a renter?'
Ho voglia di baci
Se sei quella giusta
Avvicina la bocca
I'll put out your fire if you are a smoker!
Bella faccina
Tu sei la mia stellina
Il cuore è ricco d'amore
Bella faccina
Bella faccina
Tu sei la mia regina
Il cuore è ricco d'amore
Bella faccina
Se ti porto a casa
È la tua fortuna
Ma tu non fare la pazza
Se non mi adori: vai, hasta la vista!
Dammi le tue mani
Senti la mia pelle
Sotto i Jeans Cavalli
Scoppio di caldo: come and feel my body!
Bella faccina
Tu sei la mia stellina
Il cuore è ricco d'amore
Bella faccina
Bella faccina
Tu sei la mia regina
Il cuore è ricco d'amore
Bella faccina
14. The Kind Of Girl
If I were a pirate
on your seashore baby,
would you still come out to sea with me?
I'd rather die than be without you
I'd rather die
but the way I feel I'd rather fly
you look like the kind of girl
a boy could take home to his mother…
you look like the kind of girl
a boy could take home to his mother…
if I were an astronaut
in your space baby,
would you let me take you to the moon?
you are the stars I send my thoughts to
you are the stars
not a fable like the man from Mars
you look like the kind of girl
a boy could take home to his mother…
you look like the kind of girl
a boy could take home to his mother…
15. If All I've Got
If all I've got is her memory,
If all I've got is her memory,
I say to thee:
If all I've got is her memory,
Than I have got
all the remedy
and the melody
that I'll ever need
She knows me
and now I'm that much closer to heaven
She loved me
and now I'm flying over the rainbow
just paint fresh pictures
in my mind
before you go
If all I've got is her memory,
If all I've got is her memory,
I say to thee:
If all I've got is her memory,
Than I have got
all the remedy
and the melody
that I'll ever need
16. Losing Becomes Too Easy
I was gonna write and sing America
and copyright© my song
I was gonna sing a simple melody
and try to get along
but more free
more free
I just had to be
more free
more free
more free
I just had to be
more free
it's so all about you baby
is it a crime
to take a stolen moment
and make it rhyme?
'cause if you don't feel the pain
Losing becomes too easy
and if you don't know the game
Winning becomes too hard
and if you don't feel the pain
Losing becomes too easy
and if you don't know the game
you'll never win again
I was gonna start a revolution
but I couldn't find the time
plus I got afraid of all the paperwork
that I would have to sign
more free
more free
I just had to be
more free
more free
more free
I just had to be
more free
it's so all about you baby
and this I swear
I see all your velvet flowers
are in my hair
'cause if you don't feel the pain
Losing becomes too easy
and if you don't know the game
Winning becomes too hard
and if you don't feel the pain
Losing becomes too easy
and if you don't know the game
you'll never win again
you will find your way, just follow your dream
'cause if you don't feel the pain
Losing becomes too easy
it's so all about you baby
and this I swear
I see all your velvet flowers
are in my hair
'cause if you don't feel the pain
Losing becomes too easy
and if you don't know the game
Winning becomes too hard
and if you don't feel the pain
Losing becomes too easy
and if you don't know the game
you'll never win again
17. Daddy Can I Have A War?
Daddy can I have a war?
I had no army before
Let me finish off what you never did
And sell it off for the highest bid
Maybe maybe maybe
The time has come
To spare the mother's babies
Who'll come back numb
Daddy can I have a war?
Our hardware must be paid for
Military mamas dishing the lead
The same hands that tuck 'em in bed
Maybe maybe maybe
The time is here
To spare the father's children
Who'll disappear
Daddy can I have a war?
Because I speak for the Lord
We must remember to preach
(Except turn the other cheek)
18. Gloria (Maitreya's Song)
Ladies and Gentlemen: 'the man of a thousand years'
I've been around for thousands of our years
And walked a lonely trail
Floated on rivers of our tears
And love was not for sale
Then I met a she
And found my remedy!
But he's in love with her
And she's allergic to the way I feel
She
Is gentle like the breeze
That knocks me to my knees
And her name is Gloria
And I'd have never known this heart at all
She
Is peaceful like the waves
That whisper Jesus saves
And her name is Gloria
And I'd have never known this heart at all
I'd have never known this heart at all without her
I tried to trade all my camels for
Just a little more rain
And wore my stains as my stepping stones
To justify the pain
Then I met a she
And found my remedy
But he's in love with her
And she's allergic to the way I feel
She
Arouses love in me
Her birds fly through my trees
Singing songs of Gloria
And I'd have never known this heart at all
She
Is peaceful like the stars
Who play their own guitars
And her name is Gloria
And I'd have never known this heart at all
I'd have never known this heart at all without her
But he's in love with her
And she's allergic to the way I feel
She
Is gentle like the breeze
That knocks me to my knees
And her name is Gloria
And I'd have never known this heart at all
She
Is peaceful like the waves
That whisper Jesus saves
And her name is Gloria
And I'd have never known this heart at all
I'd have never known this heart at all without her
19. She Knows I'm Leaving
She knows I'm leaving
And might not come home
We may lose pebbles from our family stone
I'll do my duty
I won't back down
But in truth, I'd rather stay around
Please Lord
Can we come to our senses
Lord
And start mending our fences
Lord
And look through much brighter lenses
Lord
I'll send more money to ya
Pray for me Hallelujah
She knows I'm leaving
And prays that she
Can root the branches of our family tree
My mother wears
Her worries in her hair
But these are the thorns that the rose must bear
Please Lord
Can we come to our senses
Lord
And start mending our fences
Lord
And look through much brighter lenses
Lord
I'll send more money to ya
Pray for me Hallelujah
PS:
Wait for me baby until I fall

Volume II
1. Pretty Baby
Once or twice in your life so far
Pretty Baby
I've seen you looking at the stars
Pretty Baby
and asking where the years have disappeared
hearts don't break
they shatter
when love is all that matters
And I will wait for you
until the end of time
because I feel no charity
when you're not here with me
Once or twice you may lose your way
Pretty Baby
Clouds may rain on your break of day
Pretty Baby
But I will love you darling anyway
These hands that select you
Will comfort and protect you
And I will wait for you
until the end of time
because I feel no charity
when you're not here with me
2. South Side Run
Blocks off a V8 machine
tough talk is calling it to the streets
his daddy fixed cars before he died
now junior wears the family pride
(I say now)
He was brave
And he was fast
And he bet it all
On a south side run
She was raised
(a little above his class)
But he drove fast
(and that's all that mattered)
So she rode shotgun
On a south side run
Stepped up he was ready to ride
and topped up his engine was warming up
psyched up he could see in his mind
the other drivers falling behind
(I say now)
He was brave
And he was fast
And he bet it all
On a south side run
She was raised
(a little above his class)
But he drove fast
(and that's all that mattered)
So she rode shotgun
On a south side run
Champagne stinging his eyes
a big check, bigger than pocket size
she got the thrill of her life
'cause he drove like the edge of a knife
(I say now)
He was brave
And he was fast
And he bet it all
On a south side run
She was raised
(a little above his class)
But he drove fast
(and that's all that mattered)
So she rode shotgun
On a south side run
3. It's Just My Pain
You asked me what's in the corner
of my room?
IT'S JUST MY PAIN
IT'S JUST MY PAIN
You ask me who is that lying
on my bed?
IT'S JUST MY PAIN
IT'S JUST MY PAIN
IT'S JUST MY PAIN, IT'S JUST MY PAIN
IT'S JUST MY PAIN
IT'S JUST MY PAIN
IT'S JUST MY PAIN, IT'S JUST MY PAIN
IT'S JUST MY PAIN
IT'S JUST MY PAIN
You ask me who is that crying
On the stairs?
IT'S JUST MY PAIN
IT'S JUST MY PAIN
You ask me who is that bleeding
on the chair?
IT'S JUST MY PAIN
IT'S JUST MY PAIN
IT'S JUST MY PAIN, IT'S JUST MY PAIN
IT'S JUST MY PAIN
IT'S JUST MY PAIN
4. Anesthesia
When you're over and out
and your mood gets in the way
when you're over and out
and your mood gets in the way
don't be a murderer by night
'cause I really want you
Don't be a murderer by night
'cause I don't want you
if it don't feel right
and I don't believe
that we have to fight
BUT I BELIEVE IN ANESTHESIA!
When you're running around
and your head gets in the way
when you're running around
and your head gets in the way
don't be a murderer by night
'cause I really want you
Don't be a murderer by night
'cause I don't want you
if it don't feel right
and I don't believe
that we have to fight
BUT I BELIEVE IN ANESTHESIA!
'cause I don't want you
if it don't feel right
and I don't believe
that we have to fight
BUT I BELIEVE IN ANESTHESIA!

(instrumental track)
6. When Night Was Calling
back when
when the days they had no end
and it was easier to find a friend
and the roses were as fresh as rain
back then
when the hours they had no time
and we couldn't find that much pain
and trouble was just a game
remember
when we were younger
and the night was calling you
remember
when we were younger
and the night was calling you
back when
we lived on the edge of a dare
and we pulled nature by the hair
and spanked the moon without care
back then
it was as lovely as it would get
we were double knuckle drenched in sweat
and we would fight until the bell would swell
remember
when we were younger
and the night was calling you
remember
when we were younger
and the night was calling you
Screamer
I knew my father like the back of his hand
more father than I needed to understand
I was brought up in the world to suppress my scream
I didn't realize it could spoil all my dreams
If all I've got is one last dream
then I'm not gonna beg if you know what I mean
'cause now I'm a screamer
now I'm a screamer
I knew my father like a military child
marching to another rhythm single file
I was brought up in the world to hide my pride
and took it undercover until time was on my side
If all I've got is one last dream
then I'm not gonna beg if you know what I mean
'cause now I'm a screamer
now I'm a screamer
I knew my father like a west bound train
I curled up in a cloud form and prayed for rain
I was brought up in the world to suppress my rage
I didn't realize I could die in that cage
If all I've got is one last dream
then I'm not gonna beg you better listen to me
'cause now I'm a screamer
now I'm a screamer
Honestly
You ask me if I'm still in love with you
You ask me if your love still follows through
You ask me if there's more that you can do
but
Honestly
I get what I need from you
Honestly
I get what I need from you
You ask me if your smile still has it's glow
You ask me if it's someone you might know
You ask me if your kisses still ring true
Honestly
I get what I need from you
Honestly
I get what I need from you
You ask me if I'm still in love with you
Honestly
I get what I need from you
Honestly
I get what I need from you
Honestly
I get what I need from you
Irene
Through dangerous thunder mountains
through a rugged and raging sea
with a stagger and bloodshot eyes
Irene
I lean on you
Irene
I lean on you
Through the jungle with bullets flying
with the mercury jumping and rising
with an anger that's full on view
Irene
I lean on you
Irene
I lean on you
Through the gravel with knuckles dragging
through community finger wagging
with a stagger and bloodshot eyes
Irene
I lean on you
Irene
I lean on you
Irene
I lean on you
Marlene
You walk a fine line on the streets
But I love you baby
You walk a fine line on the streets
You do
You hang on until the dawn
And wake to find out that you're gone
Marlene
I'm here to love you
Marlene
I'm here to care
Marlene
I'm here to love you
Anywhere
The nights are lonely but
They know you well
And the days are hostile
In between
But the nights are on your side
And hearts are beating for your time
Marlene
I'm here to love you
Marlene
I'm here to care
Marlene
I'm here to love you
Anywhere
You walk a fine line on the streets
But I love you baby
You walk a fine line on the streets
You do
You hang on until the dawn
And wake to find out that you're gone
Marlene
I'm here to love you
Marlene
I'm here to care
Marlene
I'm here to love you
Anywhere
The Ballad of Lonesome Rhodes
Soldier boys chasing after you
With the older boys racing for you too
I was slowly feeling fine
I was so excited
There we were dancing on the dunes
She said she was a step child of the moon
She was so inside my head
That my mind could soon be read
But she was someone else's mystery to unravel
So farther down the lonesome road I travel
I met her when the wind was blowing in
And I kissed her when the waves had wet her skin
I was slowly feeling fine
I was so delighted
Tumbleweeds drifting in the breeze
And hanging like the lovers on her sleeve
She was so inside my head
That my heart would soon be bled
But she was someone else's mystery to unravel
So farther down the lonesome road I travel
Guess she was someone else's mystery to unravel
So farther down the lonesome road I travel
I travel
C.Y.A.M.G.
sail your silver waters slowly
the straits are wide
there's a veil between your shadow
and your appetite
so throw your arms around me baby
and
take a look in the mirror
'cause you are my girl
take a look in the mirror
'cause you are my girl
take a look in the mirror
'cause you are my girl
put your red dress on
and put on your lipstick
because I want a red kiss from you
dance around your ashes
when you burn inside
once the arrow pierces your heart
it turns the tide
so throw your arms around me baby
and
take a look in the mirror
'cause you are my girl
take a look in the mirror
'cause you are my girl
take a look in the mirror
'cause you are my girl
put your red dress on
and put on your lipstick
because I want a red kiss from you
take a look in the mirror
'cause you are my girl
take a look in the mirror
'cause you are my girl
take a look in the mirror
'cause you are my girl
put your red dress on
and put on your lipstick
because I want a red kiss from you
Duchess
I met a girl who's just for me
She waited there so patiently
I met a girl she's my style and
I thought I heard her say she was
The Queen of The Island
She was the Duchess of Hallelujah
But on Saturday night she'd fool ya
A Diva on the silver screen
But she wasn't like that with me
She wasn't like that with me
I was in it for the morning glory
And I wanted to hear her story
I wanted to hear her story
I met a girl who's just my speed
Full satisfaction guaranteed
I met a girl she's my style and
I thought I heard her say she was
The Queen of The Island
She was the Duchess of Hallelujah
But on Saturday night she'd fool ya
A Diva on the silver screen
But she wasn't like that with me
She wasn't like that with me
I was in it for the morning glory
And I wanted to hear her story
I wanted to hear her story
I met a girl who's just for me
She waited there so patiently
I met a girl she's my style and
I thought I heard her say she was
The Queen of The Island
She was the Duchess of Hallelujah
But on Saturday night she'd fool ya
A Diva on the silver screen
But she wasn't like that with me
She wasn't like that with me
I was in it for the morning glory
And I wanted to hear her story
I wanted to hear her story
I wanted to hear her story…

Madame Swan
Madame Swan
Are you feeling in your swans today
Or are you on your lake
Feeling the waves of heartbreak?
Madame Swan
Are you feeling in your swans today
Or are you on your hill
Waiting for waters to be still?
Love floats and flies away
Into a dream
You are the last song
That I'll sing
Madame Swan
Are you gazing at the lonely moon
And can you hear it sigh
Bringing fresh starlight to your eye?
Madame Swan
Are you floating on a bed of tears
Or is it you in your mind
Just feeling the shallows this time?
Love floats and flies away
Into a dream
You are the last song
That I'll sing
Madame Swan
Are you feeling in your swans today
Or are you on your lake
Feeling the waves of heartbreak?
Sometimes You Gotta Cry
Sometimes you gotta cry
Sometimes you gotta cry just like a man
Sometimes you gotta cry
Sometimes you gotta cry just like a man
The midnight family dog
Is barking in the moonlight
I walk the floor every night
While he fights the hand that he don't bite
Sometimes you gotta cry
Sometimes you gotta cry just like a man
Sometimes you gotta cry
Sometimes you gotta cry just like a man
The search light is shining bright
But it never finds my shadow
And all my yesterdays
Were traded for tomorrow
Sometimes you gotta cry
Sometimes you gotta cry just like a man
Sometimes you gotta cry
Sometimes you gotta cry just like a man
The worm that's in my mind
Tried to steal the apple of my eye
A vampire licking his gums
And his teeth were shaped like number ones
Sometimes you gotta cry
Sometimes you gotta cry just like a man
Sometimes you gotta cry
Sometimes you gotta cry just like a man
OK
She'll be arriving today
On the 5:15
An old school friend
Whom I can't wait to see before the summer ends
She'll be tired and then
She'll ask me how
The years look now
On a face that time has kissed between the lines
It seems to me
Effectively
Your destiny is fine
And you seem to be
Happy
OK
So you're not a young girl anymore
OK
So you're not a young girl anymore
It seems to me
Effectively
Your destiny is fine
And you seem to be
Happy
She's been divorced for a while
The same routine
She groomed his style
Until he fell into the back of 17
She's got a favourite son
Her only child
The only one
Who can turn her face into an instant smile
It seems to me
Effectively
Your destiny is fine
And you seem to be
Happy
OK
So you're not a young girl anymore
OK
So you're not a young girl anymore
It seems to me
Effectively
Your destiny is fine
And you seem to be
Happy
She was alone on the train
The window view
She used her time
To think about the things that she wanted to do
She said some changes were made
She owns her life
Where, once a wife,
Now she spends more time on vice than sacrifice
It seems to me
Effectively
Your destiny is fine
And you seem to be
Happy
OK
So you're not a young girl anymore
OK
So you're not a young girl anymore
It seems to me
Effectively
Your destiny is fine
And you seem to be
Happy
If I Were
If I were your lover now
I wouldn't leave a stone unturned
I would just watch my bridges burn
As you lead me down the highway
If I were your lover now
I wouldn't have to hold my pride
I would just let my spirit ride
As I lead you down the highway
Soldier boys vaingloriously
Bleed for your captain's story
Tombstones catalogue the young dead
Like paperback books gone unread
If I were your lover now
I wouldn't leave your heart alone
I would just make a house and home
From your whispers and your sweet moan
If I were your lover now
I wouldn't have to cross your mind
We could just live on what we find
In the moonlight and the sunshine
Soldier boys vaingloriously
Bleed for your captain's story
Tombstones catalogue the young dead
Like paperback books gone unread
If I were your lover now
I wouldn't leave a stone unturned
I would just watch my bridges burn
As you lead me down the highway
If I were your lover now
You wouldn't have to cross your mind
We could just live on what we find
In the moonlight and the sunshine
Spoil You Rotten
Hello my Virginia
And goodbye to all your lonely days
Hello my Virginia
In my mind I know that she's the real Bombay ( Mumbai )
Hello sweet freedom
And goodbye to all the reckless ways
In order for me to flow
I knew I had to get the hell out of LA
"They'll sail without you if you go"
(So I go)
'cause when I'm with her
My birds fly
That's why I'll spoil you
Spoil you rotten
'cause I'm your I'm your cotton
Because you've picked me baby
I'll spoil you baby
Spoil you
Spoil you rotten
'cause I'm your I'm your cotton
Because you've picked me baby
I'll spoil you baby
Hello my Virginia
Kick off your shoes and walk my way
I once had a woman bleed me
And left my mind like the ruins of Pompeii
Hello my Maitreya
And goodbye to all the things they say
'cause I had to box the big boys
And I had to pull my cash out of the clay
"They'll sail without you if you go"
(So I go)
'cause when I'm with her
My birds fly
And that's why I'll spoil you
Spoil you rotten
'cause I'm your I'm your cotton
Because you've picked me baby
I'll spoil you baby
Spoil you
Spoil you rotten
'cause I'm your I'm your cotton
Because you've picked me baby
I'll spoil you baby
The Owl and The Pussycat
If you shed a little light on it baby
I know it'll be all right
Yes it will
If you shed a little light on it baby
I know it'll be all right
Yes it will
Sometimes you have to fall
But you can have it all
it'll be all right
if you pour a little love on it baby
then let me rub it in
(it's what I recommend)
that if you pour a little love on it baby
then let me rub it in
(recommend)
You sometimes have to cry
To turn the question why
Into a sigh
The Owl and the Pussycat are getting along together
The Owl and the Pussycat are getting along together
And fancy that
An Owl and a Pussycat
Are getting along together
Fancy that
An Owl and a Pussycat
Are getting along together
If you shed a little light on it baby
I know it'll be all right
Of course it will
If you shed a little light on it baby
I know it'll be all right
Yes it will
Sometimes have to fall
But you can have it all
it'll be all right
The Owl and the Pussycat are getting along together
The Owl and the Pussycat are getting along together
And fancy that
An Owl and a Pussycat
Are getting along together
And fancy that
An Owl and a Pussycat
Are getting along together
O Jacaranda
I was robbed!
She was framed
And it was love by any other name
It was war
And much more
Like pulling worms out of the apple core
O Jacaranda
I wanna be your Panda
O Jacaranda
I wanna be your Panda
I was young
And alive
With all the bitter fruits of paradise
Then she came
With a game
And it was love by any other name
O Jacaranda
I wanna be your Panda
O Jacaranda
I wanna be your Panda
O Jacaranda
I wanna be your Panda
O Jacaranda
I wanna be your Panda
