fragments:

a.

Field of broken dreams
never what it seems
Sea of broken hearts
tearing me apart


1: (Oct 24/2001)

Baby, we're going nowhere,
And darling, we're moving fast.
Honey, we though forever,
So tell me, why can't love last?

They say, we're young and simple.
Some say, life's in the past.
They say, don't dream forever.
I say, let's make love last.

Baby, let's head out somewhere.
Darling, we don't need fast.
Together, we'll dream forever.
Sweetheart, let's make love last.

We're gonna put love first,
We're gonna make love last.

If we will put love first
Then we can make love last

2: (Sep 18/2001)

I been checkin you baby
Vision's drivin me crazy
I used to be lazy
Now I'm workin real hard

Cause you to look my way
A long drive on the hiway
We could park in the byway
Oh I'm workin real hard

Two hearts they could fly way
Way up in the sky away
My love's for real 'll not f-f-f-f-fade away
Oh I'm workin real hard

Come Monday or Tuesday
Everyone with a clue say
He don't know what to do hey?
Mmmm, I'm workin real hard

I been peepin you baby
Beauty's drivin me crazy
Got no time to be lazy
Yeah I'm workin real hard


3: (Jun 7/2001)

I was there in the morning
When you met me at dawn and
All of the world was shining and new

I was there in the evening
And my eyes saw you leaving
As all of my heart was breaking in two

Why was I never told
Love would leave me so cold
After burning a hole
Through the depths of my soul

Now I'm here in the morning
And a new day is dawning and
I'm finding the strength to carry me through

4: (Feb 28/2001)

A hot night, and muggy
We're laid out and luggy
And nobody cares anymore

Down at the station
There's tears and elation
But back here we're starting to snore

You know we had some old loves
But they've grown cold
We had some old dreams
But they've been sold
And we may try
But we'll never ever get them again

So crank up the volume
We sure love those old tunes
And this freebird is dying to soar

5: (Jan 21/2001)

I'm going to a place
Where the past is free to roam
Where no one knows my face
And I can find a home
I want wide open spaces
Cause I'm weary to the bone
So I'm seeking out a place
Where the past is free to roam

6: (Jan 17/2001)

See me there in your mirror
Turn around and I'm gone
Meet me there in your memories
Though the pain lingers on

See me there in the valley
Turn around and I'm gone
Meet me there by the river
Though the pain still flows on

See me there on the hilltop
Turn around and I'm gone
Meet me there in the morning
Though the pain lingers on

See me there in the moonlight
Turn around and I'm gone
Meet me there by the sea shore
Though the pain lingers on

See me there in your mirror
Turn around and I'm gone
Meet me there in your memories
Though the pain lingers on

7: (Nov 17/2000)

In the night
In the moonlight
When the stars are hard to see
All the girls
Are looking lovely
To a lonely man like me

8: (Aug 23/2001)

Call me on the telephone
Call me when nobody's home
Call me when I'm all alone
Call me anytime

9: (Oct 1/2001)

My feet are in the sky and
My head is on the ground
My heart is in the gutter
On the other side of town
Girl I love you better
Every time around

10: (Oct 8/2001)

I want to have a taste
Of someone else's honey
Want to grab me a pile
Of someone else's money
I want to live my life
Like the Sunday funnies
So I bought me a guide
Written just for dummies

11: (Nov 16/2001)

I'm trying to remember to forget
The way you looked at me when we first met
The way you smiled and laughed
The way you photographed
I'm trying to remember to forget

12: (Dec 1/2001)

One particular ocean
One particular bay
One particular sailboat / surfboard
Every wind blowin my way / wave breaking my way

One particular moment
One particular day
One particular girlfriend
Every thing going OK

One particular lover
One particular play
One particular ending
Now I've nothing more to say

13: (Nov 16/2001)

Well its a dark night
I hear the waves rush up the sand
Don't need no moonlight
To feel the heat flow from your hands
I smell the delight
That rides upon the wind
I'll be your true knight
Your strong and tender man

14: (Jul 1/2000)

TA's Tune

The years have past
    and oh how fast.
That summer wind
    blows in again.

Do the rythms of the distant drums
Still call softly through the night?

Life twists and turns
    Some crash and burn.
Some find the strength to carry on.

Sing your tune my friend
    Sing your island song.
Sing with jubilation
    The melody within your heart.

And know that after all these years
    and all these miles apart
You and your tune are still a part
    of my heart.

Let's ride the line and escape
    the night.

15: (Aug 14/2001)

The Only One

Everybody knows my name
But to me they're all the same
Darling you're the only one
That I want when the day's run
    Its course

Everybody wants their fame
I only want what I can't tame
Darling you're the only one
That I want when the day's done
    Of course

The force of your love
Is pushing me higher
The heat of your skin
Fuels every desire within
Our hearts and our souls and our brains
Like two runaway trains
Are rushing us on
We dare not remain
But fly on till dawn
Has come once again

Everybody wants someplace
I seek my own with calm and grace
Darling you're the only one
That I want the only one
    I love

16: (Jan 15/2002)

I'm not afraid of Tuesday night
And I won't love a woman
Who can't pick a fight

Tuesday is fine but Wednesday is right
And I can't love a woman
Who won't end a fight

Fish on the left and birds on the right
There's dogs in the sky
Love's fading from sight

No I'm not afraid of Tuesday night
And I won't sit alone
My heart is too bright

Now you're here with my, Saturday night
You're smelling so fine
And I'm feeling allright

17: (Jan 22/2002)

The consequences have unravelled
The girl's defences have all flown
Her best pretenses lie in ashes
Now life is senseless, she's alone

Tonight the boys are in the jungle
They're hunting fresh meat every one
Until the moon hides in the ocean
They head on home, here comes the sun

18: (Feb 13/2002)

I'm not your dream
I'm not your joy
I'm not your favourite
Plastic Boy

But if you touch me
Under the stars
I'll be your man
And you can drive my car

19: (Apr 19/2002)

Two Dollar Bill

I got a two dollar bill in my pocket
I got two more miles to go
I been waitin too long to see you tonight
And baby its starting to show

So darling try to be ready
Yeah get ready to go
We'll shout and we'll dance
And try a little romance
And later we can jump in the flow

I got a three dollar bill in my pocket
And there's three things I want to know
Will you kiss all night, choose to love or fight
And baby how's your garden grow

So darling try to be ready
Yeah get ready to go
We'll shout and we'll dance
And try a little romance
And later we can jump in the flow

I got a half dollar bill in my pocket
And I have to let you know
I been waiting this long for hte time to be right
And Mary its starting to flow

So darling tell me you're ready
Say you're ready to go
Well we shouted and danced
And tried a little romance
And now its time to jump in the flow

Yes we shouted and danced
And tried a little romance
And now its time to jump in the flow

You know its time to jump in the flow
Mmmm Mary its so sweet in the flow

20: (Apr 21/2002)

Just put my dreams back in the box
Give me the key and snap the locks
Then head on out and leave me all alone
You know you don't love me no more
I saw you last night by the shore
With your new boy friend
And the top down on your ride.

21: (Apr 28/2002)

I'm not happy bout the sound of your clothes
The high end's fine but the low end blows
And as for the midrange, no one knows
Girl we gotta do something bout the sound of them clothes.

22: (Apr 29/2002)

I saw Susie, standing there with you
In the morning, drinking Mountain Dew
She was so fine, she cut my heart in two
Now I'm crying, I'm crying and I'm blue

She don't love me anymore
She don't need me that's for sure
She walked out that open door
Left me crying on the floor
She don't love me anymore

I saw Barbie, at the beach with you
In  the bright sun, water shining blue
She left too soon, why I never knew
Now I'm wondering, what's a man to do?

She don't love me anymore
She don't need me that's for sure
She walked out that open door
Left me crying on the floor
She don't love me anymore

I've go Lucy, laughing here with me
She's a beauty, all the world can see
When we get home, sitting on my knee
We'll be snuggling, smooching happily

She couldn't love me any more
And she needs me that's for sure
We have closed and locked the door
And we're laughing on the floor
She couldn't love me any more

23: (May 6/2002)

She was a real beauty
An Out Island beauty
She looked so fine in the sun

The sea wind was blowing
Her blond hair was flowing
As along the wild beach she would run

I saw her crying
As my turbot was frying
So I told her we could have us some fun

She slapped me silly
Said I wasn't Willie
Said her heart was reserved for just one

Ten years later
I started to date her
Seems Willie had married for mun

Yes Willie was silly
He ran off with Millie
And left me a piece of the sun

24: (May 12/2002)

Then one fine day with Tuna in his hair
He left for Old England but he never got there
And where he ended no one really knows
But most sort of figure the fishies ate his toes

25: (May 20/2002)

I'm just a few hurts short of being in tune
But baby it seems you'll fix that soon
My life was alright till you turned up the gloom
Now I'm a few hurts short of being in tune

26: (May 30/2002)

Step into my parlour said the spider to the fly
You will not regret it until the day you die
If you want to learn the secret of happiness
Step into my parlour and watch the truth undress

I can tell you tales of magic and delight
Weave my web of rhymes upon a summer's night
If you want to capture your lover's heart and soon
Step into my parlour beneath the bright full moon

Step into my parlour and meet a little miss
You can test her tuffet I know you can't resist
If you want to sample some special meringue pie
Step into my parlour said the spider to the fly
You will not regret it until the day you die
You will not regret it until the day you die

27: (Sep 20/2001)

You and I we used to dance
In the days before romance
Young hearts never took the chance
To get closer than the dance

Then came love with all its fears
And my nights of endless tears
Nights I'd wonder when or where
You might once again be near

You and I have one more dance
Perhaps in England perhaps in France
Wiser hearts should take a chance
Perhaps get closer than the dance

28: (Nov 15/2000)

All those bad headed boys
With their guns and guitars
Think that they're better than me
That I won't go very far

All those grungible girls
Hanging out in hot bars
Think that theyr'e cooler than me
That I won't go very far

29: (Nov 24/2001)

Sing a song of love and broken hearts
Sing a song that takes you much too far
Farhter than you'll ever want to go
Sing a song of love and broken hearts

30: (Dec 20/2001)

She's got, legs of cinnamon
That reach, all the way to the ground

She's got, eyes of sun and sand
That see, deep into your sound

She might, leave upon the wind
That's if, no one is still around

She's gone, far too far away
Now your, love cannot be found

Well that cinnamon tastes so sweet
And that cinnamon feels so fine
Oh that cinnamon is guaranteed to
Blow your very mind

31: (Mar 01/2002)

Won't you cry with me
    in the lonely night
   
Won't you love me a little
    till the morning light
   
Darling hold my hand and
    I'll be alright
   
Please don't walk so smooth
    and just fade from sight
   
Darling cry with me in the
    lonely night
   
32: (MAR 10/2002)

Rub a dub dub baby
Rub a dub dub baby
Three men in a tub baby

Who do you think they be?

There's the butcher, the baker
There's the candle stick maker

Such bad boys all three

33: (Mar 11/2002)

I went mondo in the morning
Tuesday's mighty fine
Wednesday I was hanging out
And having me a time
And I said son
Don't you go down there
No she'll trick you
Then she'll stick you
Cause she don't really care

34:  (Jul 27/2004)

Guess who just got back today
with Gill and Gussie from the Golden Gate?
Well she was looking good and I could hardly wait
to touch her.

She was walking on that crescent beach
with hair so blond she was out of reach
But her lips were rosy - I could hardly wait
to kiss her.

Now we're sitting on the sloping sand
she's leaning in, we're hand in hand
and the moonlight rides come rolling in
to greet us.


35:  (Nov 13/2002)

Weekend Daze (?)

Warm sand on beaches
And moonlight on reaches
With soft southern breezes
And salty the peaches of dreams

I cherish that first kiss
In memories as waves hiss
Round ankles, feet buried in sand

A young brown haired beauty
A shape that got to me
And a taste that made love's demands

Her image came to me
Her eyes were so blue she
Cut out my heart and she
Tore out my dreams

So now on the weekends
I sit by the deep end
And think that perhaps I'll just
Jump in her sound


36:  (Dec 22/2002)

Wake up and sing me a song
And tell me that you'll love me all day long
And through the night untill the morning comes again

Rise up and play me a tune
The kind of music makes a young man swoon
And pledge his heart beneath the summer moon again

Step up and give me a kiss
Soft and sweet from tender lips I've missed
Then turn right round and kiss me again and again

Jump up and give me your heart
Give it all I don't want just a part

37:  (Mar 14/2002)

Tell me all the good things
That you want to do for me
Tell me all the sweet things
That you want to be for me
Tell me all your truths
Tell me all your lies
Tell me all your half-baked alibis
Tell me all the good things
That you want to do for me


38:  (Nov 27/2001)

I sure love you
more and more each day
And I sure need you
no matter what I say
You're so lovely
you take my will away

39:  (Sep 23/2004)

Take a movie star
Home in a jar
Put em under your pillow
Hide em in your drawers
Pretty soon you'll owe
More than before
Cause interest rates rising
And money is tight
And if you don't spend it
Well it just might
Burn a hole in your pocket
Make you see stars
And in the night
Turn loose the rockets
Of love from afar

40: (1992)

The Lines

It's so hard at times to write the lines
To lay the thoughts down on the page
There is ink and enough to spare and yet
For some reason it doesn't want to risk running dry
I have heard it called a block but at times
It seems more like restraining chains
Arresting the motion of the arm and the working of the brain

And you my friend, can you always find the notes
Can you string them on the lines to find the melody
A thought is passed from mind to mind and then
Begins the search to find the music that's
Between the lines, that stirs our souls and sets our minds
On fire

Yes it's hard at times to write the lines
The words are afraid to break out of their shells
And begin their lives, take their first steps
Out amoung the thoughts that roam the world

And you my friend, play the notes and help me find
The words to join and make my lines

It's so hard at times to write the lines
To lay the thoughts down on the page

41: (1990s?)

The King of the Mall ?

School is out from summer until fall
The girls are fine, they're long and they're tall
I'm on my bike, cruisin' to the Falls
Yes tonight I'll be, the King of the Mall

All the girls, they stroll down the Mall
All the boys, they lean and they stall
Well you know, I'm having me a ball
Cause tonight I am the King of the Mall

The girls are so fine, so long and so tall
I thought that I might love them one and all
But here you are with me, the Queen of them all
Now for sure, I'm the King of the Mall

42: 2005

Somewhere Down on Bay Street

Well it was somewhere down on Bay Street.
Yes, I think it was Dirty Dick's
You were dancing in my arms and
The swaying of your hips
Freebird was in the air and
I was looking at your lips
They were so inviting
But I never got a taste
Though I sure felt like a man
With my arm around your waist.
And I still dream of you some nights
When my thoughts are not quite chaste.

43: (Mar 22/2005)

I'm leaving Cleavland
And the heart of Rock and Roll
Yes I'm heading down
To see my Latin Love

She lives in the Gables
And when I reach
I hope I'm able
To show my heart
And Maybe bare my soul

Cause one more night in this town
Will freeze me to the core
So I've hit the road
I'm heading south
And I won't come back no more

Yes I'm leaving Cleavland
And the heart of Rock and Roll
Yes I'm heading down
To see my Latin Love

We'll sail to the islands
Maybe spend a night in 'Briland
Then Exuma bound
We'll restify our souls

Cause one more night in this town
Will freeze me to the core
So I've hit the road
I'm heading south
And I won't come back no more

You know music is special
But it can't compete with love
At least not when your woman
Has been sent down from above

44: (Feb 28/2003)

There's A Girl

There's a girl, that want's to own you
From your head, down to your toes
She wants your mind, your soul and spirit
Why it is, she only knows

You must take, your money with you
Every night, out on the town
You hesitate, just for an instant
She'll cut you loose, to sink and drown

Her heart is cold, so cold and deep boy
Like the waters, of the ocean's tongue
Her eyes are sharp, they'll stab your back boy
So watch her close, don't turn and run


-----------------------

Free The Art (Sep 29/07)

Free the Art and
Free the Artists
Let's break loose and
Let's get started

Change the world and
Make it better
There may be crying but
We'll cry together

Tired of waiting on
Promised changes
Come together and
Let's rearrange it

-----------------------

Rob Me Blind (Sep 26/07)

Girl you know I need a woman
To come and steal my heart
So I leave it on the front porch
Each night when it gets dark

Then I lay upon my pillow
And pray if God be kind
That he'd let you pass down my street
And that you'd stop and rob me blind

-----------------------

Elvis and John Lennon (Sep 22/07)

I saw Elvis and John Lennon
Sitting neath that big old tree
Talking bout the old times
And how it's best to let 'em be

I sat a while and listened
In the shade of that fig tree



They were sipping on some grabbers

-----------------------

Sep 28/07

Through your eyes
I see the lies
And rise above
Their dark disguise
When morning and
The evening flies away.

Girl in my heart
I've made a start
Come join me now and
Be a part of day.

-----------------------

Oct 11/07

I could use another lover,
But I don't need another friend.
Just someone for undercover,
Every now and then.

Cause I've had too many heartaches,
And I've shed too many tears,
And I spent too many lonely nights,
Over all these years...

Since my one true love left me
On a cold and balmy night
And the waves came crashin  round me
And now I just can't find the light.


-----------------------

Oc 15/07

Well I been some places
I shouldn't oughtta been last night
And I seen some things
I shouldn't oughtta seen last night
And I done some things
I shouldn't oughtta done last night
But then I came home to you
And you made everything all right.

-----------------------

Oct 16/07

Well I'm not a man who likes to run,
But I find myself waiting for the - STARTER'S gun,
And some day baby when my race is done,
I'll kiss you before I fall.

-----------------------

Oct 19/07

Come on down to Nassau Town
And sing me a new brand song
Tell me that you love me baby
That you'll never do me wrong
Sing to me of starry nights
And a love that will grow strong
Yes come on down to Nassau Town
And sing your new brand song

Come on down to Nassau Town
And sing me a new brand song

Drink switcher an eat conch
Then we'll get the lovin started baby

So come on down to Nassau Town
And sing your new brand song

-----------------------

Sep 24/07

This is currently a re-creation from memory - I need to find the original/rest.

Well, I think I'm gonna be a big groovy star
With my drop top love
And a jazz guitar
Find me a big top woman who will
Take me far away.

-----------------------

Nov 11/07

Time To Kill

Well I got me some new, time to kill
Got it from a man just over the hill
I'll take it and grind it
Down at the mill
Yes I got me some new, time to kill

Well I got me some fresh, time to waste
I'll waste it on you baby out on a date
Yeah I'll pick you up at seven
Or maybe at eight
Yes I got me some fresh, time to waste

I got me some extra, hours to burn
Light em up bright baby, never learn
Sparkling stride baby
Smooth groove turns
Yes I got me some extra, hours to burn

Well I sold him some new, time to kill
Don't need it no more, just went over the hill
Let him take it and grind it
Down at the mill
Yes, he's got him some new, time to kill.

-----------------------

Nov 12/07

I... saw you last night
standing alone
in the pale moonlight

You... parted your lips
reached out your hand
the swaying of hips

I... saw you last night
standing alone
in the pale moonlight

We... walked down the sand
Love hand in hand
I was your true man

I... saw you last night
standing alone
in the pale moonlight

-----------------------

of you

and in my car and in my bed
i hope you remember what i said
bout in my mind and in my heart
bout i want all and not just a part
of you

---

i have made my indecision
and i don't love you anymore
and i have cried in new dimensions
while i've been lying on the floor

---

i really think it's raining sunshine baby
somewhere deep inside my heart
i really think that i could love you baby
if you would just make the start

i really really think i want you baby
somewhere by the ocean tonight
and you would really really love it baby
and you could be my true delight

i'd take you to see ah places baby
places that we'd never been
and if you'd walk right here beside me baby
i'd show you through a young man's dream

---

well my heart's been shattered,
my dreams torn and tattered
and my minds bout nearly blown

i drank too much excess
way down in Texas
they done had.. to ship me home

i had rock star plans
thought i was a guitar man
but three cords wont get it done

so when i reach home
i bought a new cell phone
and i been brownin in the sun

---

i live in dreams
and my days end
i don't know why
i try again

when morning comes
and i'm alone
i live in dreams
no telephone

---

i'm your veggie metal man
with a veggie metal plan

and you tore it all apart
so a veggie metal

---

he's a major talent in the under world
and his major talent is fun for girls
they don't want to love him
they just want a whirl
in his new brand car

---

everything i want
is right inside your heart
everything i need
to make a brand new start

the next time i see you
comin round the bend
i will kill the old red rooster
rip the heart out of his hen

---

i remember long ago
when you were young
and i was so...
impressionable

and i remember olden days
when you were first
and i was in a daze...
for days and days and days

---

if i'd a known just what i'as doin
i wouldn't a done just what i did
i wouldn't a shot the sheriff and his deputy

i'd a spent more time a lovin
and a lot less time a fightin
might a been someone else and maybe not just me

if i'd a known just what i'as doin
i wouldn't a done just what i did
and maybe i wouldn't be facin that old tree

---

well i'm runnin low in abaco

head somewhere where life is slow
man i can't take this hectic pace
in abaco no mo

in abaco no mo

---

well i have cried in new dimensions
while i was lying on the floor
then i grabbed my best intentions
and i ran down to the shore

where i stuffed them in a bottle
and i flung them out to sea
girl some day you may just find them
and perhaps remember me

as the boy whose heart you played with
through those long summer days
as the boy whose heart you tore up
when in fall you went away

---

well i got time time to waste
waiting here on you today
so baby please hear what i say
come back today

---

give me some time to get you off a my mind
give me some time to move you out of my heart
give me some time to get my act together
give me some time to make a brand new start

cause you were the one to always treat me special
you were the one to always treat me kind
you were the one who up and broke my heart
you were the one to make me lose my mind

---

i'm gonna be your good time baby
if you will be my good time girl
you're gonna have a good time baby
livin in my good time world

i got a jar of sweet emotions
i'll spread it all over you
you're gonna taste so extra special
i don't know what i'm gonna do

---

i'm gonna put my words right down on the page
when you hear em they're gonna be all the rage
they're gonna stick right in your head
you might wish that i was dead
cause my words are gonna be all the rage

i'm gonna put my tune right down next to them
i'm gonna put my tune right down next to them
i'm gonn put my tune right down
in your head they'll go round and round
i'm gonna put my tune right down next to them

Some where Down The Line

Some where down the line
She broke my heart in two
Some where down the line
She left me feeling blue
Some where down the line
I don't know what to do
Some where down the line man
Some where down the line

Some where down the line
I lost my broken heart
Some where down the line
I made a brand new start
Some where down the line
I'm crying in the dark
Some where down the line man
Some where down the line

Up The Down Stair case

I went up the down stair case
Now I'm in the out house
I went straight around that circle
Of love without a doubt

I am most simply so complicated
Some say naturally sophisticated
Yes I went up the down stair case
Now I'm in the out house

-----------------------

What was I thinking...
About
She left me deep in...
No doubt
She took my heart let...
It out
To play

-----------------------

Nov 19/07

She sits alone in the moonlight
With the sunshine in her hair
She sits alone in the moonlight
But you cannot find her there
She's got a new love lately
So she's crying in despair
She sits alone in the moonlight
With the sunshine in her hair

A November To Remember

A November to remember
Is what she promised me
She said, "Big Boy,
I'll show you joy,
Like you might never see."

"I know you think you love me,
But if you set me free
A November to remember
Is what you'll get from me."

Well I don't know if I love you any more
Said I don't know if I love you any more
No I don't know if I love
Yes I don't know if I love
Well I don't know if I love you any more

Well I don't want your hugs and kisses any more
Said I don't want your hugs and kisses any more
No I don't want your hugs and kisses
Yes I don't want your hugs and kisses
Well I don't want your hugs and kisses any more

About lonely hearts and broken wings
But now I find I can only sing
About you my love
About you

Nov 29/07

There's a moon and a memory
Of a girl who once was mine
There's a void deep inside me
That your love just cannot find

If you all your lovin
I will loan you this thin dime
You can call up your mother
tell her you are doin fine

I will cry you a new river
You can sail it to the sea
Let the warm waves embrace you
while you're waitin there for me

-----------------------

Nov 29/07

I was looking at you baby
Thinking I could baby maybe
Take you somewhere out to dinner late tonight

I was hoping somehow baby
I could take you somewhere maybe
Lay you down and show you things of pure delight

-----------------------

Nov 30/07

She said:
I am too hot to be perfect in the morning
And I'm much too hot to be perfect late at night
But if you catch me when the sun is setting
You will find that I'm pretty much just right.

Person 1:

The NanoWriMo Song
Copyright 2005, Bruno da Beat.
(Actually Copyright 2005, drew Roberts - Bruno is a character in my novel)


I'm gonna write me a nano song.
Not too short and not too long.
Not too weak and not to strong.
I'm gonna write me a nano song.

I'm gonna play me a nano tune.
Along the lines of the cow and the moon.
Hey mister fiddle what became of the spoon?
I think I need him for my nano tune.

I'm gonna throw me a nano ball.
Wine and women and that's not all.
Lot's of beef and hot salsa for all.
Come and dance at my nano ball.

I'm gonna write me a nano book.
Thirty days to write it won't you take a look.
Like my tune there's gonna be no hook.
You can read it in my nano book.

I'm gonna play me a nano game.
There in the forums where some are lame.
Looking for my quarter hour of fame.
I'm gonna play me a nano game.

Won't you sing me my nano song.
I would do it but it'd turn out wrong.
Record it for me and send it along.
Won't you sing me my nano song?
Please sing me my nano song?
Won't you sing me my nano song?

Summer's sorrow, came to me today,
Said to borrow, what I could not give away,
That tomorrow, would be another day,
And that sorrow, should not get in the way.

But I ain't livin my life like that
And she ain't welcome on my welcome mat
And now I've said it and that is that
Cause I ain't livin my life like that no more!

Summer's sorrow, whispered come and play,
I will show you, what almost got away,
Take a moment, and sit with me I pray
If I leave you, your world will turn to gray

But I ain't livin my life like that
Man I'm a removing my welcome mat
So like it or lump it but that is that
Cause I ain't livin my life like that no more!

Just A Pop Song

It's just a pop song boys
It aint nothing special
It's just a pop song boys
It aint gonna change the world

It's just a pop song boys
Make you feel a little better
A little better
A little better
A little better than before

It's just a pop song boys
So turn your radio louder
It's just a pop song boys
Jump up and dance a little while

It's just a pop song boys
Make you feel a little better
A little better
A little better
A little better than before

It's just a pop song boys
So turn your radio louder
It's just a pop song boys
So crank it up and make some noise

It's just a pop song boys
Make you feel a little better
A little better
A little better
A little better than before

----------

Well I been living in a home for the
Broken Hearted
Yeah they dropped me here the very day that
She departed
Told me time would heal my wounds but baby
It aint started up to now
It aint started up to now

So I'm asking that you treat me very
Gently Baby
Take it easy, take it slow and honey
Don't mean maybe
So if you think that you can manage well then
Let's get started up in now
Let's get started up in now

----------

If you take me down to Memphis
On a Friday afternoon
I will show you something baby
You can ride it to the moon

It will shake you in the morning
It will whisper in the noon
It will take you to the river
And keep you there till June

----------

Listen to the night
As you burn in the sun
Hear your broken heart
As you run and you run
Trying to catch up with his love
But he's gone yes he's gone
Listen to the night
Linger on, linger on

----------

All my heart is underwater
I don't love you but I oughta
Take you somewhere
Faster than the night

----------

My lear jet is in the hanger
My island's up for sale
I had to park my
Motor Yacht
These days I gotta sail

Listen Baby
Hear me wail
If I wasn't so good looking
I'd never get no
Weeeeel.....

Low budget blues

----------

Gonna treat you right
Baby treat you right
Every day and night
Gonna treat you right

I'm gonna treat you fine
Baby all the time
Then you'll be mine baby all the time
And I'll treat you fine

Gonna treat you right
Every day and night
Don't wanna fight
Just treat you right

Gonna treat you right
Baby treat you right
Baby every day
And every night

Gonna treat you right
With the stars tonight
Baby if I may and baby if I might
Wanna kiss sweet your lips here tonight

----------

She smells like a beauty queen
Stranded in a magazine
Somehow she can never reach the end

----------

Dark Of Night

We're running in the dark of night
Dark of night
We're never gonna get it right
Get it right
But baby I will stand and fight
Stand and fight
We never will give up the light
Up the light

Well I got some time
And I got some money
And I got something to show you honey

Well you need a plan
And you need a man
So you best stop dreaming about that punk Dan

Yes I got some time
And I got some money
And I got something to show you honey

----------

I know ya need me baby
But I don't want you
I know ya want me baby
But I don't care

I know ya love me baby
But I don't need you
I know ya need me baby
Life isn't fair

----------

Said she got some secret information
From some white knight investigation
But if it's true.
Man what can she do?

----------

Girl I,
Don't need you any more
Than I need my heart
And I'm sure,
That I'll need you
Just forever and a day

----------

I need some time in the darkness
To see things I cannot feel
Come join me under the covers
Believe things that are not real

Take me you're the one yes
Take me to the sun yes
Take my heart and run yes
Take every bit of fun

I need some time in my memories
To find things that faded too fast
Come meet me down by the ocean
Believe that love will not last

----------

Ode To My Refridgerator

You are so cool
Even when it's hot
(can this idea be finished as a joke?)

----------

I've been hiding in the moonlight
You've been laughing in the sun
I'm just waiting for you baby
Waiting for your love to come

Show me visions baby
Of the good things to come
I've been hiding in the moonlight
You've been laughing in the sun

----------

There She Goes

There she goes
Re-arranging my heart again
There she goes
Re-arranging my heart

I believed what I was told
They said she had a heart of gold

There she goes
Re-arranging my heart again
There she goes
Burning down my soul

She said baby let's pretend
I've had my share of lesser men

There she goes
Re-arranging my heart again
There she goes
Burning down my soul

----------

Girl you know me
I'm stranger than fiction
Girl you know me
I don't have a plan

Girl you know me
I need some direction
Girl you know me
Let's take a new stand

----------

It wont take a lot of time
To blow you out of my mind girl
But I'll need a big head start
To rip you out of my heart
Yes I'll need a big head start
To rip you out of my heart

----------

Chain Reaction (Possibly for Song 4 rough)

What I really need
What I really need from you girl
What I really need
What I really need from you girl
What I think I want girl
What I really need and want


Well I need some lovin
And I need some satisfaction
And I really need someone
To start a chain reaction




----------

Cruel Shoes Blues (possible lyric)

She walked in (I don't know)
About ten (I don't care)
... (I can't see)

A warm smokey ember
That woman is burning
Through town

She cuts like a warm knife
Through young hearts
No messing around

That girl is a woman
Man she's set on burning
Through town

(With cruel shoes and bad news
And old blues she broke through
I'm down!)

With cruel shoes and bad news
And old blues she broke through
I'm down!

And now I need somebody
And now I need a friend
And oh I need a better lover baby
Who will love me right up yes right up to the end (work on getting this to fit)

With cruel shoes and bad news
And old blues she broke through
I'm down!

With cruel shoes and bad news
And old blues she broke through
I'm down!

I found me some money
I bought me a friend
I won me a woman
Who left me in the end.

With cruel shoes and bad news
And old blues she broke through
I'm down!

Is stuck in my head
Can't get it out now
I'm lying in bed
Seeing your blue eyes
There in the rain
Girl your YouTube video
Is stuck in my brain

Can't get it out now

Watching you gold thighs
Glow in the sun

Can't get it out now
Riding this train
Down to the sea shore
Swim in the rain
Girl your YouTube video
Is stuck in my brain...

So hey hey baby

Lot's of things your momma wouldn't want me to

Them other boys talk
But they aint got a clue
Hey hey baby I'm her for you. Let's go!

----------

Well I got a little problem
And her name is Suzie Brown
She's a complicated woman
And she likes to hang around

Well she tells me that she loves me
But I don't even care
I just like to run my fingers
Through her auburn hair

She tells me that she loves me
But that girl is such a tease
I know she's just looking
To try bring me to my knees

----------

Well I been living on a wing and half a prayer
Yes I been living on a wing and half a prayer

And here's the thing

On a wing and half a prayer

----------

Every body say she do me one better
Young boys say she smell like da weather
All a dem say I'm never gonna get her
But I keep trying,

----------

Just as I was cryin
My heart was testifyin
About a time when I was young
And it was free

----------

Honey baby darlin
You look wonderful tonight
I would like to kiss you baby
It would be alright 
You and I could walk the beach
In the silver light
Honey baby darlin
Come and stay with me tonight

I am sixteen years old
And I've never been kissed
By a sweet girl like you
Right up to this
Very moment in time
And I think that I've missed
A whole lot of good times
And moments of bliss
But how will I know
Unless you haul off and kiss
Me right now

So kiss me right now
And don't miss
Yes kiss me right now
And don't miss

----------

Come on baby
Let's go somewhere
I'll lay you down
You take me there oh yeah

Just love me like
You used to do
When all our dreams
Were fresh and new uh huh

----------

I said the blues walked in this morning
Slapped me right upside my head
Oh yeah the blues walked in this morning
Slapped me right upside my head
Say now boy What you think you doing?
Come on get up, get out of bed

----------

Well I had one hit in my heart
Two hits in my brain
Three hits in my fingers
Untold numbers in my veins

----------

Jubilation
Exploitation
Expectations from a man who's come to town

Say he's a big star
And his meter bars
Are always pegged way beyond the edge of red

And his decibels and his Jezebels
Raise the roof
When he spreads his dough around

----------

It was a day just like today
That she upped and went away
After telling me our love was dead and gone

And after years of suffering
I opened up and let you in
And the sky shone brightly
As the morning sun

----------

She could love me if she tried
But all she wants to do is hide
And run away from all the love
I've stored up deep inside
This heart she keeps on breaking
This fool she keeps on making

----------

Oh she's a sweet thing
She gives me everything
That I need
And more besides
Oh she's a sweet thing
She gives me everything
That I want
And more besides

----------

We were hanging in Burillo
On a country Friday night
We were way out in the groves
Dancing to the fire light


----------

Goin, goin, gone
Sister sister I am
Goin, goin, gone

Goin, goin, gone
Sister sister I am
Goin, goin, gone

I had a long rope
And I was nearing the end
But I've done cut loose
So baby let's not pretend
Cause I ain't handing
In this town no more
Yes I done cut loose
This ain't like before

Cause I'm
Goin, goin, gone
Sister sister I am
Goin, goin, gone

----------

She's a high speed (/tone?) woman In a low cut dress
She treats me better than all the rest
She's amazing
She drives me crazy

She gives me all her loving and she does it right
She shakes me in the morning turns me on at night
She's amazing
She drives me crazy

----------

I don't mind and I don't care
Cause you took me to the water
And you burned me down to here

Then you took me to the mountain
And you took me to the stream
And you did a little dance
And you made a young man dream
Yes you made a young man dream oh yeah



No I don't mind what you got here for me
But baby you're the only one I see



----------

(In case anyone is confused, nothing in the following song is real.)

Well now Jimmy and Warren Buffet
Took a pipe and they did stuff it
Then they puffed and puffed and puffed it
Once again

Jim said hey here hold my kite
And if you're careful you just might
Get to like it
Cause it really wants to ride upon the wind

Then they went long on tequila
And run short on margaritas
But they both agreed
It was the best they'd been

Yes they went long on tequila
And run short on margaritas
And the sea salt made them thirsty
Once again

----------

What's good for the goose
Is good for the gander
Listen baby I'll take a stand and
Give you something that another man
Won't give

I'll take you places and show you things
And we'll fly away on diamond wings
Yes we'll live the life that money
Cannot give

----------

I'm just a rock star
Stuck in a jazz bar
Not getting too far
And my heart is fading fast

Bought me an old car
From my tip jar
And baby so far
It all seems built to last

----------

Love lies bleeding underwater
Sharks are circling and I oughta
Take a chance
But I been burned too many times before

----------

Let your fingers do the walking
Down my spine, down my spine
Let your whispers do the walking 
Through my mind all the time

----------

You been roaming
On the wrong side of town
Some bad boy
Gonna lay you down
Looking up
From underground
It's your last call boy
Won't be another round

Put your money up
On the bar my friend
It's the last call hey
Let's not pretend
You been roaming
On the wrong side of town
Some bad boy now
Done put you down

----------

Now is the season of my discontent
Now is the season of my discontent
Now is the season of my discontent
Now is the season of my discontent

Cause I
Don't love you any more
No I
Don't love you any more

Cause you
Have stayed just like before
Yes you
Just took that open door

----------

She said love falls
From a blue sky
To the lonely
Yellow ground
She said the grey hills
Would slowly fade away
And that mean wind
Would soon call my name

But I said
No way!
I ain't buying.
And I said
No how!
Mrs. Brown
Cause I don't aim
To lie here dying
On this love stained
Yellow ground.

----------

She promised halfway to the stars
But she dropped me off at Mars
Now I been drinking in these dives
Just barely trying to stay alive

----------

There's a woman in the road outside
Five foot tall and six foot wide
See her coming boy you better hide
Cause if she takes you to her double wide
She'll take you for a little southern ride
Life would be better if you done died
So listen boy you better run and hide
Hide yourself away

----------

She'll take you halfway
To where you want to be
Then she'll leave you stranded
Boy just you wait and see
She'll take your heart
Leave it hanging from a tree
You won't know what hit you
Son take it from me

----------

Wake Up Dead

She spread some toe jam
On some roachy bread
She said now big boy
You goin wake up dead
If you mess roun
Wit my heart again
Now I een jokin
An dis een pretend
How your poor ma
could live wit her disgrace
An how your old pa
Could even show his face

I look at her
An I suck my teeth
I say now woman
I does need relief
From your achin
An da gas you see
I need some strong back
And some sarasee
Some five fingers
An some love vine tea
Your sorry ways
Goin be da end of me

----------

He was a good boy
Who acted bad
Trying to impress girls
He never had
He never saw me
Watch him with eyes
That cried with tears when
He said goodbye

Possibly for Island To Island by Simon Lau

Another
Island and another
Woman and my sailboat
Sailing and the breeze is
Blowing
And I need some time
To get you off of my mind
Cause the sun is shining
And the water's fine

Well I speared a grouper
And I dove some conch
Come night I mashed de roach
In a honky-tonk
Yes that old red rooster
He was really jumping
And the gals was wine-ing
And my heart was thumping

Another
Island and another
Woman and my sailboat
Sailing and the breeze is
Blowing
And I need some time
To get you off of my mind
Cause the sun is shining
And the water's fine

(This next bit Jul 11/09)

I met a woman
Down in Matthew Town
She smiled at me and
Turned my up to down
Then she laughed and
Turned my left to right
Smiled again and
Filled my dreams that night

(This next bit Jul 13/09)

Well I sailed on into
Spanish Wells
Sat in the Snack Bar
With the cookin smells
Saw a blue eyed beauty
Lookin at me
I asked her name
She said no not till three

(This next bit Aug 22/09)

Cruised into Andros when the
Crabs was crawling
This dark and lovely gal
Was really hauling
She looked so good she caused
My heart to stop
Gave me some strong back
Not a soda pop

Went down to Salt Pond at
Regatta time
This Cartwright gal she had a
Shape for wine
I take a sip and my poor
Head start swinging
I dive right in and start
Her bell to ringing

nana
Another
Island and another
Give me something to smoke
With this rum and coke

--- extra verses

I met a sweet one down in
Samson Cay
She said You're very strong it's
Plain to see
I said Baby you ain't
Goin blind
I got the strength if you
Got the time

I met this tourist gal in
Guana Cay
She said saltwater is the
Thing for me
I said baby I know you
Ain't lying
I gave her some and then
I left her crying (smiling? sighing?)

I sailed round Nassau
Like the Sloop John B
That cookie fella ain't got
Nothin on me
When the sherrif come to
Take me home
She look so good I had to
Make her mine

I met a rich one out in
Lyford Cay
I guess she figured she'd be
Ruling me
But then I showed her what I
Had in store
She changed her tune and said
Come round some more

lyrics and pieces of lyrics by drew Roberts November 08

----------

I'm, exactly like you
Girl I need a lover
Who hasn't a clue
Why don't we hook up
And do what we do
True love can strike us
Clean out of the blue

----------

She was toying with my heart
I told her to cut it out
But I didn't mean like that
Man is there any doubt
That girl is just too mean

----------

Out Island Cowboy

I'm an out island cowboy
I ride the waves and not the range
Yes I'm an out island cowboy
I ride the waves and not the range
I go out hunting grouper
Hunting conch and other things

I'm an out island cowboy
I love to be out on the blue
Yes I'm an out island cowboy
I love to be out on the blue
I ride out on the ocean
Then I ride on home to you

----------

A Word For You Baby

I've got a word for you baby
Come let me whisper in your ear
I've got a word for you baby
A word I know you want to hear

It's just a four letter word
And I could tell it to a bird
Who could fly right to your shoulder
And tell you cause he's bolder
But that ain't what I need to do

I've got a word for you baby
Come let me whisper in your ear
I've got a word for you baby
A word I know you want to hear

----------

It was a day
Just like any other day
She was a girl
She said she came to stay
But some how I
Felt she would slip away
Into the mists
Of my fractured bliss

It was a day
Just like any other day
It was a day
It was this very day
Three years ago
When she slipped away
And set me free
And I just want to say

Why'd she have to go and leave me!
Why'd she have to go and break my heart!
Why'd she have to go and walk away!
Why'd she have to tear me all apart!

It was a day
Just like any other day
She said hello
My heart was swept away
She captured me
A player in her play
But now she's gone
And all I have to say is

Why'd she have to go and leave me!
Why'd she have to go and break my heart!
Why'd she have to go and walk away!
Why'd she have to tear me all apart!

----------

Baby I need satisfaction
Jump in and start a chain reaction


----------

The only way
You're gonna get it
If if ya gonna
Give it away

The only way
You're gonna get it
If if ya gonna
Give it away

So hey hey baby
I've got a secret
You better listen
To what I say

The only way
You're gonna get it
If if ya gonna
Give it away

----------

I'll be your rock
    You be my rock
And I'll be your roll
    Yes I'll be your roll
Two halves are better baya
    Yes two halves are better
When they join to make a whole
    Two halves make a whole

----------

I want to tell you
About love and heartaches
I want to tell you
About a new plan

But if you leave me
I'll never recover
Said if you leave me
I just wont understand

So baby
Lend me your ears
Yes baby
Give me your hand

I want to take you
Out over the waters
I want to lay you
Down on that pink sand

----------

A little bit of lovin baby
Is all I need
If you kiss me in the morning baby
It's guaranteed
I will have a better day than I would
Have on my own
So kiss me as you're leaving baby
I'm on my knees

----------

It's a pirate that I be
And I sail upon the sea
And the fathers and the mothers
And the brothers of the damsels
They are all afeared of me
Cause when the damsels I do see
And when the damsels they see me
There is no hope left
Their hearts are for my chest
A treasure fair reserved for me


----------

Well she
Dams herself with her
Faint praise

As she
Carries on through her
Black days

And she
Knows she's gotta change her
Old ways

But she
Keeps on running from
The rain clouds in her heart

Running from the rain clouds in her heart

Concerning Me

You been burning me
You concerning me
You been turning me
Inside out

Yes you're burning me
It's concerning me
Girl you're turning me
Upside down

One
Two
Three
Four

Girl ya know
I can't take no more
Yeah ya know
Ain't ga take no more

I done seen enough
And you done done enough
And I done had enough
And you done been too rough

One
Two
Three
Four

Do
You
See
That

One
Two
Three
Door

--

Coming down through eternity
You promised loving and extasy
I gotta say it's concerning me
Cause your sweet lovin was never free

Yes you know you been burnin me
And you know it's concerning me
Cause somewhere deep down inside of me
I gotta be who I gotta be

--

Night comes calling
You come crawling
Girl you're ripping my
Heart right out

Yes you're burning me
It's concerning me
Girl you're ripping my
Insides out

One
Two
Three
Four

Girl ya know
I can't take no more
Yeah ya know
Ain't ga take no more

etc...

----------

I can't take it anymore
You don't love me anymore
But I love you more and more
Each passing day

So I went down to the store
Then I went down to the shore
Then I stole a boat and tried
To sail away

----------

She gave me no indication
That our love would fade away
And I had no inclination
That my world would turn to gray

----------

He might not be a prodigy
And he might not be a star
But he means the world to me
And I pray that he'll go far

----------

Come on pretty baby
Put your red dress on
We can go out dancing
We can greet the sun
One night of romancing
Just won't get it done
But that's no good reason
To not make a start

----------

Technological solutions to
Ecological problems with
Technological causes should
Give us pause as we
Look to the future and
Consider our past we're
Rushing ahead now
Ever so fast our
Acceleration's accelerating we're
Riding the crest but
Will it all last

----------

Way up there above the ground
Love is flying
Falling down to the ground
Love is crying
Crashing down to the ground
Love is dying
See it there on the ground
Dead

----------

Rock Salt Blues

----------

My name's Bill
And it's quite a thrill
To meet you here today
With your credit cards
And your new guitar
And the songs you have to play

----------

What I need is a great beginning
Stronger middle and fantastic end
Don't need a woman who can't
Take me winning
Need a woman who will be my friend

----------

Fantasy
Reality
Chinese tea
Good for me
Can't you see
Love is free
Can't you be
Good to me

----------

[U]

I can't take, this pain in my head
Stuck inside, sweating in bed
Pounding, shaking, I need some relief

Day is bright, cool and clear
Stuck inside, can't hack the chair
Sweating, moaning, let this be brief

Like a rising star
Love me, love me, love me, love me
Like a jazzk guitar
Love me, love me, love me, love me
Like a super star
Love me, love me, love me, love me
Like a red sports car

Love me, love me girl
Yes love me love me baby
Yes love me baby

Love me, love me girl
Yes love me love me baby
Yes love me love me love me all the time

Take me, take me, take me, take me

Take me, take me, take me, take me
Like a rock guitar
Take me, take me, take me, take me
Like a crowded bar
Take me, take me, take me, take me

Love me, love me girl

Like a bridge too far
Burn me, burn me, burn me, burn me

[U]

She took me underwater
For a wild, warm moonlit ride
She took me to the bottom
And then she tried to hide
But I tracked her with love sonar
And I caught her on the tide
And the bubbles floated upward
On a silky moonlit night

----------

[U]

She took me to the edge of love
And tried to push me in
But I was having none of that
Resisted with my skin
Resisted with my blood and bones
Resisted to my core
And here now when I need her love
She offers it no more

----------

[U]

We're laying out the structure for a sad love song
I can sing the words and you can play along
This love I dreamed forever almost dead and gone
We're laying out the structure for a sad love song

Yes we're laying out the structure for a sad love song

I think I'll make the chorus about my broken heart
This stabbing pain inside me rising up the charts
Cheating and deceiting baby from the start
That's why I made the chorus about my broken heart

---------- below voice recorded feb 01 2009

[U]

See that young girl over there
She's the one who stole my heart
She's a mean old lady
Deep inside her where it's dark
Don't you mess around with her boy
It's not worth it in the end
She will burn you to the ground
Like she's done to all her men

----------

[U]

I am an island boy
And I like island girls
I like moonlit nights
And I like waves that curl

American dreams
American dreamers
Bahamian schemes
Bahamian schemers
Like peaches and cream
They're treating us mean as
We're making the scene
With gangster leaners
You know what I mean
But you haven't seen us
Stealing the dreams
American dreamers
Dream in the night

Saltwater dreams
Freshwater dreamers
They're gold and they're green
And blue billfish streams of
Feverish dreams
Like consciousness cleaners
The Nocturnal themes
Of celluliod screeners
Bahamian schemes
Piratical schemers
Stealing the dreams
American dreamers
Dream in the night
Dream in the ni-ght

She left home on Tuesday morning
Heading for December
She had dreams so bright it seems
But now she can't remember
She headed west across the land
The road stretched out ahead
And now she's here in glitter town
And singing in a band

Faded dreams, faded dreams
Where do they go
Your faded dreams
Faded dreams, faded dreams
Where do they go
Your faded dreams
Where do they go
Your faded dreams

He left home on Friday night
So very long ago
He had the last of all his fights
And set out through the snow
He hitched a ride and headed south
Towards a warmer place
And now he lives from hand to mouth
And humps it for a band

Faded dreams, faded dreams
Where do they go
Your faded dreams
Faded dreams, faded dreams
Where do they go
Your faded dreams
Where do they go
Your faded dreams

They sit down to have a drink
Somewhere beside the sea
He tells a joke, she tries to laugh
But nothing comes for free
The sun is dying in the west
Their dreams are going down
Here they are above the waves
And yet they might just drown

Faded dreams, faded dreams
Where do they go
Your faded dreams
Faded dreams, faded dreams
Where do they go
Your faded dreams
Where do they go
Your faded dreams

Boy you know that time was never on your side
Though you tried to sing those lyrics
Through the whole dang circus ride
Your bones were shaking, your heart was breaking

Showed you plain that time was never on your side
Yes you know that time was never on your side
Boy you know that time was never on your side

You were young and too good looking
I was young and way too shy
So I never could quite tell you
All the things I kept inside
But I hung around you baby
Like a puppy on a leash
Maybe hoping for some magic
Maybe hoping for relief

Always dreaming
That I'd have you
I had some growing
I had to do

----------

[U]

Gentlemen of the jury
Listen to my plea
I know what it looks like
But it surely wasn't me
Seems no matter how I try
I cannot catch a break
Every time I try do right
My luck just shows up late

[U]

He was stuck inside his old guitar
He'd been there for a while
An ever loving lonely boy
A would be nature's child

He dreamed he'd be on VH1
Or maybe CMT
But when she left he fell apart
Right from A to E

And now he plays a sad refrain
On his flat top box
And nothing of his dreams remain
But white boy short dreadlocks

Yes it's a mystery
Everybody knows
Spend their lives pretending
They don't know how it goes

Love comes a calling
Why do you oppose
Open up your heart
Let's see how it goes
Open up your heart
Let's see how it goes

I met a young girl
She was just eighteen
Took her to a dance that night
At the village green

Took her home when the night
Faded into day
When she walked into her house
I tried but could not say

Yes it's a mystery
Everybody knows
Spend their lives pretending
They don't know how it goes

Love comes a calling
Why do you oppose
Open up your heart
Let's see how it goes
Open up your heart
Let's see how it goes


----------

[U]

If you will stay till morning
(If you will be my morning)
I will be your knight
Take you in my shining arms
And make you feel just (all) right
Show you secrets
From the strange (far) lands
I've been wandering (roaming)
All my life
Mysteries of true
Love and heartaches
Every one a
Pure delight

[P]

Verse
It gets cold and lonely in my studio at night
Routing all these sounds around by electric light
I need me a country girl to fill me with delight
One who will not lead me on but snuggle in real tight

Chorus
Yes Jack is still my jack but I still need a Jill
A down home sweet good looker who can give me all my thrills
A woman who will stand by me when my notes run dry (when my well runs dry?)
A sweet thing who will lift me up when I need to fly

With Ardour on my screen and ardour in my heart
Beating strong and clean while Hydrogen does its part
I can hug and squeeze her while tracking her real smart
But outside on the porch my old hound dod howls and barks (Not sure I like this line)

Alternate Chorus?
Yes Jack is still my jack but I still need a Jill
A woman who would follow me up or down the hills
Whether life is treating me real good or super bad
A sweet thing who would truly be the best I ever had
--
I may be a country (island) boy, but I got Free Software skills
And one thing that I love at night is Free Music from the hills.

These UFOs been messing with my LFOs
Sending me their alien frequencies
Mucking with the music that I try to make
Making sure I never get my break

Man I need Elvis
Or Tiny Tim
To block their signals
From butting in
I need some clear air
Deep in the night
Me and my music
Will be alright

Their rhythms from the stars
Been pulsing through my nighttime bars
They mucking with my life from deep space tonight
Never let me be myself again

Man I need Elvis
Or Tiny Tim
To block their signals
From butting in
I need some clear air
Deep in the night
Me and my music
Will be alright

Three chords and three minutes
Gonna write a song
All about love and truth
How can I go wrong

[U]

It's a long way from here to love
But I've got to make a start
Got to make the arid journey
To find my long lost heart

---------- below voice recorded feb 05 2009

[U]

She loves me but she doesn't need me
She wants me all for herself
I tell her "Take me to your leader
Don't stick me up on your shelf
I need to roam around your planet
Take a taste of all your sights you see
Hey baby make a new man it
It may be that new man is me"

[V]??

I been living on borrowed time
Worms, tequila and some salty limes
I been spinning out lonely rhymes
My whole life it seems

Yes I was living baby mighty fine
Until you came along and blew my mind
Rocked my world while you sipped your wine
Then you burned my dreams

(Perhaps this section has to go)
But I need a new start baby
A new road to your heart
I've been leaving much too long now
Turn around and come back home

---------- below voice recorded feb 05 2009

[U]

You wake up every morning
And you look around to find
This world is still the same one
That you hoped you'd leave behind

Get up out your bed and
Start a brand new day
Never quite just knowing
What's in store today

Listen baby what you need
Is a change of mind
Embrace the day embrace the day
And baby you will find...

For her man

[V]

He'd been on the road for ten long years
Though he was barely twenty five
Been some places and seen some things
Man he was lucky to be alive

Well he met her in a park one day
She was dancing on her own
Must have been music in her head
As she laughed and swayed alone

Well he stood real still and watched her dance
The he tapped her and he grinned
And to the no one standing next to her
He said he was cutting in

She looked at him and she swirled about
And she fell in to his arms
Her eyes were blue and her hair was red
And he fell beneath her charms

I been roaming this old world, since my younger days
I been dreaming dreams of home, and my childhood ways
I been crying in the nights, running from myself
Trying to escape my faults, find a better self

But I'm really not sure, if I want to go back
Live inside my old life, with those people I knew

You like to run with a dangerous crowd
They're rough and they're crude
And they're always too loud
But alone in the morning
When the sunlight hurts your head
You cry in your misery
And you can't get out of bed
Then when noon rolls around
And you finally fall apart
You pledge never more
In the depths of your heart

It can get you in trouble if you let it slip out
So watch your tongue day by day

Some where back in the day
So listen my friend don't you let it slip out

Clouds, riding on the wind
Moon, calling me again
Love, every now and then
Breaks my heart in two, here it goes again

Time, heals a broken heart
They been teaching me, from the very start
Yes time, heals a broken heart
Maybe in the day, but not so in the dark


Time is a wasting, she said to me
Love is the answer, and you hold the key
Take me home tonight, or set me free
I was a dreamer, but I couldn't see

I was a dreamer, but I couldn't see
Love was the answer, and she was the key
I was a dreamer, but I couldn't see
Love was the answer, and she was the key

People of the net!
I am here today to talk to you of The Audacity of Hope.
I am here to talk to you of Freedom.
Freedom is not always free for you and me.
No! Sometimes there is a high price to pay.

Some say let freedom ring.
Some say live free or die.
Some speak of nothing left to lose.
Some lose hope.

I am here today to tell you that there is Freedom in Audacity.
I am here to tell you that hope makes a sweet sound in Audacity.
That although the price of Freedom may be high,
Although the price of Hope may be high.
The high price is worth it.
The high price is lower than the price of the alternatives.
The price of Audacity is lower still.

Some say lock them down!
Some call you thieves and pirates!
I say freely grab some Audacity and freely hope.
I say put Ardour in your heart and on your desk.
I say Jack will be your friend.
With hope, you may find Jack a better plumber than Joe.

People of the net!
Don't let them lock you down!
Choose Freedom!
Choose Hope!
Choose Ardour!
Choose Audacity!

She's running, she's running with a dangerous crowd
She's living, she's living, but her life is to loud
She's wondering, she's wondering, how she'd look in a shroud
She's running, she's running with a dangerous crowd

She's running, she's running with a dangerous crowd
Her daddy, her daddy, why is he never proud
The life that she's living, well she lives in a cloud
She's running, she's running with a dangerous crowd

He's running, he's running with a dangerous crowd
He wants her, he wants her, cause she's so well endowed
But he told her one day to get off of his cloud
He's running, he's running with a dangerous crowd

He's running, he's running with a dangerous crowd
His mother, his mother, why does she scream so loud
He tries and he tries but she never is wowed
He's running, he's running with a dangerous crowd

There's a new love
Shining down upon me
Takes my broken cold heart
Warms me like the sun

There's a grey man
Hiding in my mirror
I don't recognize him
Or the things he's done

Well my new love
Tells me she can heal me
Tells me just to trust her
Have a little fun

There's a blue man
Hiding in my mirror
Tell's me he's the real me
Tells me there's no sun

She told me to get in line
That she'd be with me soon
I said "Babe no never mind
And you don't need the moon!"

She said "Boy now settle down
You got no place to go."
I said "Girl you may be cute
But you don't hardly know."

"There are people that I want to see
And so many places that I've got to go."
So I jumped in to, my open rag top
And I hit the - open road.

Now I been riding
These lonely highways
And I been roaming
These empty miles

Sometimes I wonder
If I should go back
And see that
Sweet girl again

Would she know me
In that old diner
If I upped and
Just walked on in

She told me to get in line
That she would be my friend
I told her girl never mind
The world's about to end

----------

I'm in a bit of a lull
I've been home too long
I've been hanging inside
I think I'm getting dull
I'm in a bit of a lull
I'm in a bit of a lull

I think I'm in a funk
I've been killing time
I've been spinning wheels
Good thing I'm not drunk
I think I'm in a funk
I think I'm in a funk

Get up, get up, get up, move
Get up, get up, get up, jump
Get up, get up, get up, dance

Keep it going now
Keep it going now
Keep it going now
Keep it going now

I'm in a bit of a lull
I've been home too long
I've been hanging inside
I think I'm getting dull
I'm in a bit of a lull
I think I'll go to bed

I'm trying to love you
But you don't want me

But you don't care
I'm trying to love you
But you don't need me
I'm trying to love you
Put down my fears

(To be semi screamed)

Rebellion
Young hellions
They're climbing the walls

They're cruising
They're bruising
Now watch how they fall

Expressions
Confessions
They're kings of the mall

I want to write a country song
Try soft and easy but somethings wrong
Try loud and rowdy, but that aint on
I can't start or end

I got no life to write about
I got no reason to twist and shout
I'm gonna bore you without a doubt
Sorry bout that friend

She upped and turned me on baby
Then she turned me right down
I saw her walking on water
I rushed to her and drowned

She said love is a cover
I said baby who cares
She took me for another
I pay love in arrears

----------

I cry every night
As she rocks me off to sleep
Sometimes I think I might
Find a bridge and leap

Swim off to another
Life across the deep
Forget about forever
No promises to keep

How many boys
Have played in bands
All of their songs
Another man's

Another man's heartaches
Another man's tears
Another man's woman
Down through the years

Sneaking Out The Back Alley
http://kompoz.com/8315

I went over to midnight
And I asked her for her name
She said don't bother me boy
Or I won't be held to blame
When you find your heart has burned up
From getting to close to my flame
When you find desire frozen
Hot and cold is all the same

----------

Heavy metal fur balls
Stuck inside these four walls
Every plan I make falls
Right down through the deep cracks

I don't need no good girls
Wanting diamonds and some smooth pearls
Wanting dukes or posh earls
Ride upon my poor back

----------

Girl my life aint as bad as it seems
If only it could get that good (I'd be happy if it got that good)

----------

Listen now
I'll tell you something
Listen now
I'll tell you true
Listen now
I'll tell you something
Listen now
Oh why won't you?

They aint believers
Over there
They aint believers
Have no fear
They ain't believers
Over there
They ain't believers
They're too square

----------

There is nothing that I'd rather be
Than alone with you
Sitting calmly on a sandy beach
Just the sun and you

This lyric is being written with Filgood from Kompoz in mind.
I see the setting as a dim night club.
The man is on stage at the mic singing to the woman at a table off to the side.
I had a lot of this down on my walk this morning and have forgotten a lot now.
I will have to try and re-do it I guess.

You first came to Paris on a grey winter day

I saw you sitting at that sidewalk cafe


I sat down and I said "Ah mon cheri."

----------

Girl when I saw you at the steakout
I couldn't help but break out
With this song....
You are the one...

Girl when I saw you looking so fine
I knew I'd make you mine
Before too long...
You are the one...

You are the one
The one for me
The one I want
The one I need

----------

Well I went down town cause I was uptight
But when I saw you girl I knew I'd be alright
But when you left for home before the morning came
Well I went up town cause I was downright
Gone

But somehow pretty baby

To find herself again
I'm not quite sure just what she lost
She does this now and then

She's a dreamer
She's a wanderer
She's a poor girl
Making it on her own

But my heart's burning brighter

You'ld never believe the things that I've seen
But you could. And you should!

Modified lyrics of Sep 08 version further below

Well I been living in a home for the
Broken Hearted
They dropped me here the very day that
She departed
Told me time would heal my burnin wounds
But baby don't you know
It aint started up to now
It aint started up to now

ba  ba  ba  baaaa ba ba dum ba
ba ba
ba ba bam ba ba ba, ba ba
ba ba ba baaaa ba ba dum ba ba bow

One day you walk in like a ray of sunshine
You make me think that you could be mine
You make me think that I could love again

{Alternate Chorus

Let's make it happen all we got to do
Let's get together me and you
Let's get it going now before I change my mind
}


So I'm asking that you treat me
Gently Baby
Take it easy, take it slow and honey
Don't mean maybe
If you think that you can manage
I'll take that chance
Let's get started up in now
Let's get started up in now

One day you walked in like a ray of sunshine
You made me think that you could be mine
You made me think that I could love again

solo

One day you walked in like a ray of sunshine
You made me think that you could be mine
You made me think that I could love again

Now you're the woman that I surely seem to
Dream of daily
The very best there is but you sure
Drive me crazy
If you think that you can love me true
We'll find a way
Let's keep loving to the end
Let's keep loving to the end

That day you walked in like a ray of sunshine
You made me think that you should be mine
You let me knowk that I could love again

Original below from Sep 2008

Well I been living in a home for the
Broken Hearted
Yeah they dropped me here the very day that
She departed
Told me time would heal my wounds but baby
It aint started up to now
It aint started up to now

So I'm asking that you treat me very
Gently Baby
Take it easy, take it slow and honey
Don't mean maybe
So if you think that you can manage well then
Let's get started up in now
Let's get started up in now

----------

I could be a pariah
I could be a long lost friend
But I'll call my wind Mariah
Hope it works out in the end

But when windy keeps on sneakin
Under stairs and out of sight

----------

We were young
And you were pretty
No you were drop dead beautiful
One the beach
Or in the city
Never less than incredible

In the sun
Near your for hours
Turn my head and squint and stare
...

Now here you are
Still looking pretty
No you're drop dead beautiful

----------

Remind me baby, why I should love you
Remind me baby, why I should care
Well I've got a new girl, and she's a beauty
Yes I've got a new girl, and *her* heart is true

----------

What ya gonna do when you see me crying
When you see me crying in the night
What ya gonna do when you know I'm lying
When you know I'm lying but I'm right

Look at me once
Kiss me twice
Give me three things baby
Just to be nice

Tell me you love me
Before you go
Honey my darling
I gotta know

I'm stuck in the darkness with you baby
Stuck in the darkness

Billy Bob has a sweetheart
He calls her Betty Joe
But her name is Suzy
Why he does that she don't know

He's kind of strange sometimes
But she loves him anyway
Yeah she loves his car
And she loves his Ma
And she loves the way he plays
His slide guitar on Fridays
At the bar on Second Street

lyrics and pieces of lyrics by drew Roberts April 09


She says come quickly my heart is on fire
I say sweet blossom you're all I desire
She said big hombre you're like a burrito
I said sweet nothing you're too incognito

One day she comes walking slowly to town
She looked me up just to throw me right down
And just as my body hit the hard ground
She placed on my poor heard a non-shiny crown
Made of foil

Right then I saw the world as it was

----------

She said baby
It's my highway
And on my road
You got the right of way
So press the gas
And lay some rubber down

We went cruising
In the bright sun
Dropped the top
And sipped some cool fun
In the breeze
We came undone Wow!

----------

Where were you when I was crying in the night
(Where were you)
Where were you when I was laughing with delight
(Where were you)
Where were you when my heart was a sattelite
Of love
(Where were you)

Where were you when I was trying to make it right
(Where were you)
Where were you when I was running to the fight
(Where were you)
Where were you when love was fading out of sight
(Where were you)

----------

She's got mystery
She's got curves
She's got deep thoughts
She's got smooth words
Music becons
Music calls
Nightime rhythms
Tropic falls

----------

Love is burning me, in my heart
Love is turning me, to what I'm not
Don't go spurning me, in the dark
Love is burning me, in my heart

And I run, and I hide
But I cannot get away
From your dreams, and your plans
And the things you want each day
Though I cry and I try
You wont let me get away
From your...

Love is burning me, in my heart

----------

I stand alone
And fall apart
I have a bone
That should be heart
I don't know why
You love me still

----------

I don't need you in my heart tonight
No I don't need you in my dreams
But I'll be reaching come the morning light
When nothing seems just like it seems

----------

Not a day goes by that I don't love you more
No not a day goes by that I don't love you more
And every day I cry sitting at the shore
Yes every day I cry sitting at the shore
I watch the waves roll in
Then I watch them sneak away again

----------

There's a woman lying on the ground
She looks a little like the sound
Of fingers on the blackboards
Of my childhood

There's an old man sitting here by me
Smells a little like the first TV
In the corner of the living room
At Grandad's (house)

----------

Libby
You make me giddy
You turn me on in the morning and the night time too

Well I ain't lazy
But you drive me crazy
You got me frantic with the things you do

So Libby please
Try some of these
I'm on my knees won't you let me try your good things too

----------

She poured the gravy
Over my grits then
She walked away

She poured the gravy
Over my grits then
She walked away

Bacon and cheese and
Buiscits and please honey
Sit and stay

I used to think maybe I'd sing you a song
One about true love that never went wrong
But somehow the years passed and I never found
The notes that I needed to make the right sound

---------- below recorded apr 07 2009

Boy if you want it
Well you can get it
But its gonna cost you
Everything

Yes if you want it
You can have it
But it would be cheap at
Twice the price

Talking bout true love
Talking bout heart aches
Talking bout danger
In the night

Said if you want it
Come and get it
But its gonna cost you
Everything

Yes if you want it
You can have it
It would be cheap at
Ten times the price

Talking bount true love
Talking bout heart aches
Talking bout danger
In the night

lyrics and pieces of lyrics by drew Roberts May 09


She's got another heart
She keeps it far away
She never leaves it out
It's never on display
And though you try and try
You never catch a glimpse
Of that girl's secret life
And so you drag and limp
From day to weary day
And through your endless nights

----------

Don't want to leave (Don't wanna leave)
On a down bound train
Don't want to leave (Don't wanna leave)
Don't want to leave for the fire

Just want to go (Just wanna go)
Where it's cool and bright
Just want to go (Just wanna go)
High and higher

We got to leave (We gotta leave)
When it's time to go
We got to leave (We gotta leave)
Heed the crier

----------

There was a time in the past
When I thought I was made to last
But now I find that I'm falling apart
When I examine my seams
All I find is faded dreams
And the pieces of my broken heart

----------

That's not the meaning of this song
That's not the meaning of this song
It's not a love song
It's not dedicatged to you
I don't care what you do
I don't care what you say
I wrote these words for myself
I'm gonna sing them every day

----------

Cyndi Lauper ate my homework
Meatloaf says he saw her chewing
I had some kinks in my back


----------

The hands of time are tied behind your back
You try to run but circles bring you back
To where you've been and you're slower
Each time around

----------

Well I was standing on the corner
Of five and dime
Picking up the pennies
Of the past I left behind
Counting all the memories
And the dreams I hope to find
If I could catch you leaving him
Just one last time
Standing on the corner
Of five and dime

----------

I met her in summer school
Man you know I was a fool
I let her get away
When the autumn rolled around

----------

Well I can't understand
Why you do the things you do
You tear me up inside
And I'm always halfway blue
I tried and I'm trying
But I can't get over you
Girl can you explain
Why you do the things you do

----------

I'm stuck in the middle
I'm stuck in the middle of your heart
I'm stuck in the middle
I'm stuck in the middle with you girl
I'm stuck in the middle
I'm stuck in the middle of your heart
I'm stuck in the middle
I'm stuck in the middle

I been trying for so long
I been trying to leave you girl
But you're confusing my poor heart
You make me crazy and wont let go
I don't know why that you do it
Just the way that you do-oo-oo
I'm stuck in the middle
I'm stuck in the middle with you

Nights are so long
Nights when I cry
You are so wrong
You wont let go

Nights are so long
Nights I could die
I must be strong
Please let me go


----------

Girl there was no reason
For you to turn me on
So why'd you go and do it
Strip my body to the bone
Burned up all my flesh
Left me dead and alone

The 1.92 Million Dollar Song

I was looking for One Honest Heart, thought I would Save The Best for Last but you were all like, "Let’s Wait Awhile". I was going through Different People, each time thinking I was One Step Closer, thinking Possession is nine tenths of the law. Iris was Hella Good even if I did have to throw out the baby with the Bathwater when she left me Cryin' in the November Rain. I heard Somebody say "Here We Are, Welcome to the Jungle!" So I shouted out, "Run Baby Run! The Rhythm is Gonna Get You! It's Coming Out of The Dark!" We were Faithfully Building a mystery but I was a Basket Case and then you said, "Don’t Stop Believin', Pour Some Sugar on Me!" These days it's just Bills, Bills, Bills, Now and Forever.

(Not written as a song per se but we'll see)

----------

I've got a plan for you baby
So I'm looking for a place
Love will expand for you baby
And I'll run a better race
Across the sand for you baby
Until I kiss your face
I am the man for you baby
I've got the style to match your grace

lyrics and pieces of lyrics by drew Roberts Aug 09

She's got diamonds in the front
Pearls in the back
And I cannot see a single thing
That she could ever lack
But she says that she can't get enough
Of that special stuff out back
And she's begging please
Down on her knees
Before her heart attacks
Me in the morning and crushes me at night

lyrics and pieces of lyrics by drew Roberts Sep 09


Fired up and ready to go

Five o'clock and you know I'm still dreaming baby
You call me on the phone and you wake me
I jump out my bed and I go
Down the stairs and I grab me a bagel baby
I run out the door like I'm crazy
I jump in my car and I go

I come to your house and pull in your driveway
You run outside and hey baby baby
You look much better than oh oh
You Jump in the car and we peel out the driveway
Head down to the club for the boat

I was young and
I got a six string baby
Drove all the neighbours crazy
Jaming all night in the flow
Johnny B.
He got a drum kit baby
Beat all his neighbours crazy
Beat on his drums till they glowed.

I was young
And you were good looking baby
(We were young
And you were good lookin)
(We were young
And twice as good lookin)
Stuck in the fast lane yeah
We couldn't stop bookin
Laying rubber down without even lookin

I'll tell you something girl
That you already know
we were
Fired up and ready to go

We were having us a perfect time girl
Sipping rum, coke and native lime girl
Running faster we were falling behind girl
Never made it in the nick of time girl but we're

Fired up and ready to go
Fired up and ready to go
You and me girl we both know
We're fired up and ready to go
--
Fired up and ready to go
Fired up and ready to go
They all tell us we should take it slow
But we're
Fired up and ready to go
--

Yes we're
Fired up and ready to go

Can't take it slow

Don't want to rush but
This we know
We're
Fired up and ready to go
Yes we're
Fired up and ready to go girl
You and me we can't take it slow
Don't wanna rush it but
Girl you know
We're
Fired up and ready to go

Fired up and ready to go


Fired up and ready to go
You and me girl
We both know
They all tell us we should take it slow
But we're

Yes we're
Fired up and ready to go

Fired Up And Ready To Go (MV version)

He was young and
He got a six string baby
Drove all the young girls crazy
Jamming all night in the flow

My baby Koops
She tickles the keys like a lady
She'll heat up your dreams and then maybe
Never wanna let her go

Johnny C,
He grooves with the bass and the harmony
Looks at the Kev and says follow me
The drummer laughs and says man let's go!

Farmer boy,
The one that put it together
He started off in black leather
If the music's not rock then just go!

Fired up and ready to go
Fired up and ready to go
You and me girl we both know
We're fired up and ready to go

Kevin D.
He locks in the beat like a rasta man
You body will groove to our master plan
He knows what he's gotta do

See the Nutt
He was always a friend and a fan
We finally got him into the band
Come on now and give him a hand

Fired up and ready to go
Fired up and ready to go
They all tell us we should take it slow
But we're
Fired up and ready to go

Now you're here
Becoming a part of our history
The music can move you with mystery
Jump up now you're part of the show

Modern Vintage
That is the name of the band
Rockin all over this land
We never want to let it go


-----

Fired up and ready to go
Fired up and ready to go
You and me girl we both know
We're fired up and ready to go

Fired up and ready to go
Fired up and ready to go
They all tell us we should take it slow
But we're
Fired up and ready to go


The music's right
So lock it tight in your memory
Never forget the sweet extasy
When you are part of the show


Kevin D.
He's on the drums these days baby
Hot rhythms for nights when you're hazy
Move fast or move slow let it go





Johnny B.
He got a drum kit baby
Beat all his neighbours crazy
Beat on his drums till they glowed. (2)

Now you know Chris,
He played and he sang from the heart
A good friend right from the start
He's here and part of the show



----------

The Lover's question
Eternity
Give me your whole heart
Or let me be
I need an answer
Today by three
I need a promise
From you to me

----------


I needed an X
But you gave me an O
I needed love
But I didn't know
How to tell you
The things I feel
How to show you
My love is real

----------

The Road Is Long

The Road Is Long
I need someone
To kiss at night
Before I'm gone
The morning comes
And I'm alone
I need someone
To ease my bones
The pain comes down
In crushing waves
I need to fly
Before my grave
Calls to me
A dark night sigh

----------

lyrics and pieces of lyrics by drew Roberts Oct 09


Just another indication that loving you's frustration
That I don't need anymore
I just keep on trying and you just keep on lying
And I can't leave by the door

----------

We were sitting down by the bay
A cool and clear sweet sunny day
Now you ask well I have to say
Yes this song is really quite cliche
When I'm with you my words run dry
Heart fills up and I sometimes cry
Yes I will love you girl by and by
But just not the way
That you want me to in the night
I keep trying but can't get it right
All you do is whet my appetite

----------

I drove a bridge out to forever
Where the beach was made of time
And by the salty shore
I dreamed once more
That I could find
The perfect lime

----------

Come on baby give me good love
Cause good love is what I like
Come on baby give me true love
Cause true love makes it right
Come on baby give me new love
New lovin every night
Come on baby want no blue love
Cause red love is all alright

----------

Gonna rock this house tonight
Ya gonna do it baby do it right
Shakin and bakin builds an
Appetite
Let's rock this house tonight
Baby gonna rock this house tonight

----------

Well I am just a lonely boy
Living in a lonely lonely world
And I don't need no inspiration
To love a lonely girl
Cause my heart is overflowing
And my mind has come unfurled
Now I'm lying on the ground
My body slightly curled
See my dreams there on the ground
They're brown and slightly curled

----------

Love me baby forever
Even if its just for tonight
Love me down by the ocean
I'll try not to put up a fight
When you take me to the water

----------

Country girls
Living in the city
Crying tears
So salty and gritty
There's some boys
Back home that they're missing
Country boys
They surely ain't kissing
Except in dreams
They dream in the night time
When they dream
Salty dreams filles with fresh limes

----------

Well I was (been) living in New England
With a girl named Mary Jane
And she almost said she loved me
As she took off in her plane
Disappeared into the sunset
Somewhere in the West
And I never saw here anymore
But I guess it's for the best
Cause love it don't mean nothing
If it aint gonna last
Concentrate on my future
Forget my burning past

----------

Shut down and love it
You can't rise above it
You just push and shove it
Until you die

----------

That girl is delicious
She fills all my wishes
And there's no denying
I'll never stop trying
And she takes me flying
Out over the waves and
That sweet pink and gold sand
She says that she loves me
That I am her strong man

----------

Hey this is Sellout Central
We got potential
We ganna make the big time
Drive fancy cars
Hang out with Lars
Drink Casa, Coke and good limes

----------

She's just a young fairy tale
Teller
And you could wind up in jail
Fella
If you follow her sail
Whether
Or not you love her
Cause the deceit that she has
Inside her

----------

I got a Casey jones
I got a Casey jones
I got a Casey jones
Man I gotta get home
Feed my Casey jones

I got the Casey blues
I got the Casey blues
I got the Casey blues
Man I tell you true
I got the Casey blues

----------

(try to remember from this morning's walk)

reach out and touch someone
let them see you care
speak to them from your heart
(let them see your heart?)
let them know ???

----------

She cut a piece from my heart
Into the shape
Of a snowflake
She let it melt
Somehow I felt
That I would never be the same

----------

Don't Go Away

Don't go away baby
Don't go away
I need you here baby
Why don't you stay
Love in the morning baby
Lasts through your day
Don't go away baby
Don't go away

Don't go away baby
Don't go away
I need you here baby
Why don't you stay
Love me in the night time baby
Don't play and play
Don't go away baby
Don't go away

----------

lyrics and pieces of lyrics by drew Roberts Nov 09


Don't walk away baby
Before forever
This ain't the day baby
For a new start
Come out and play baby
Check out the weather
I know you're worried
But free your heart

----------

There's gotta be
Something better for me
There's gotta be
Something better for me
It's plain to see
There's gotta be
Something better, something better for me

It's plain to see (It's plain to see)
There's gotta be (There's gotta be)
Something better, something better for me
Something better for me
Something better for me
Something better, something better for me

----------

I am feeling worse than ever
But so much better than before

----------

I don't wanna be the one you leave out crying in the night
I don't wanna be the one who lights your uptown dynamite
I don't wanna be the one left standing by your stuck up car
I don't wanna be the one who falls hard from your lucky star
But sometimes girl
You rock my world
You turn my head around
Ten seconds flat
Imagine that
You're gone without a sound

----------

If it feels good don't do it
It'll only blow your mind
If she looks good don't do it (don't like this line)
She'll leave you far behind
But if she is good hop to it
That train runs right on time

-----------------------

lyrics and pieces of lyrics by drew Roberts Dec 09


She went back to the start
She tore out my heart
She tore out my heart
And I love her

It was down at the bar
It wasn't too far
It wasn't too far
Where I met her

I was riding a star
Was gonna go far
Was gonna go far
Knew I'd get her




She went back to the start
She tore out my heart
She tore out my heart
And I love her

I took her way too far
We were driving my car
We were driving my car
Life was better



----------

Blood is thicker than water
That's what her daddy taught her
Trying to raise up his daughter
Doing his best as a man

----------

How you ackin baby
Why you ackin strange
Why you do the things you do
That take you out of range

I aint gonna show you
The things you cannot find
But maybe I can give you
A little piece of mind

----------

Hey hey baby
You walk in like a lady
Boomerang, boomerang

Hear the tick tockin
Of a hidden clock an
Boomerang, boomerang

I'll take you flying
Way up high an
Boomerang, boomerang

----------

Gotta hit the shower
Get on the road
Gotta dream my life
Live by the code
Gotta take my chance
Before I'm old
Gotta live my life
Out on the road

----------

You and me girl make it right
Do it once or do it twice
early morning and late at night
Me and you girl outta sight

Seems I been travelin, back (Dirt?) roads forever
Seems I been travelin, back (Dirt?) roads forever
Seems I been travelin, back (Dirt?) roads forever
Mostly alone
Mostly alone

This is the end of, my new beginning
This is the end of, my new beginning
This is the end of, my new beginning
The sun don't shine
For me no more

Take this hammer, and shove it somewhere
Take this hammer, and shove it somewhere
Take this hammer, and shove it somewhere
The sun don't shine
For me no more

Give me good loving baby
Give me everything you go
Take me up and down
Turn me all around
Baby that'll hit the spot
And I will sing your praises
Girl I will shout out loud

lyrics and pieces of lyrics by drew Roberts Jan 10


My baby loves moonbeams
That's what she says
My baby loves sunshine
All over her bed
My baby loves octane
Higher than high
My baby loves leaded
By day and by night

When I take her driving
In my old hot rod
I put the top down
She looks at the stars
Hear the waves rolling
Down by the sea
What could be sweater
Than feeling so free

----------

They say you're once
You're twice
You're three times a lady
And I
I don't know why
But I can't love you baby
Cause you
Don't do nothing for me like I need my woman
To

----------

She's a Spanish dancer
And she
Flows like water through my mind
Moonlight time
Rolls around and I feel fine

----------

The girl's a brainiac
Point of fact
That boys just a michelobmaniac
Says he's a throwback
Natural Jack
Love in the jungle is
Where it's at

----------

Hey baby
Show me what you got
But not today, baby
Lovin you's a lock
This aint no play, baby
Meet me at the dock
We'll sail away, baby
Listen for the cock
To crow today, baby
Put my life in hock
You know the way, baby

----------

It was kind of obvious what you wanted
But I couldn't give it all up to you
I couldn't take you down town, turn myself around
And do it up like you do

----------

You be my facebook friend
I'll love you to the end
I cannot quite pretend
You love me too

----------

Down By The Sea

She woke me
In the early morning
And she took me
Down by the shore
Then she told me
About a strange occurrence
With a bottle
That she had before

She told me
About smoke and mirrors
And the magic
Of a lover's kiss
Though I wanted
To test her theories
When I tried to
I always missed

She told me
About needs and wants
And she warned me
About an open door
I didn't listen
Thought she was pouting
See me lying
Crying on the floor

I needed
Her true devotion
And I wanted
So much more
But she said boy
My dreams are shattered
See them lying
By the shore

Now the summer
Breeze is blowing
And the waves crash
To the shore
Now my heart churns
In the foam as
The under
Tow takes hold

And I remembered
When we were younger
How we used to
Run that shore
Feeling special
And our hearts were pumping
With our dreams laid
Out before us

She took my
Hand in hers and
She looked deep
Down in my soul
Said she saw things
Sad and blue
Like the water
So salt and cold

----------

Gotta keep my mind on my woman
Gotta keep my mind on my woman
Gotta keep my mind on my woman
All day long
All day long

Gonna spend my time with my woman
Gonna spend my time with my woman
Gonna spend my time with my woman
All night long
All night long

She's so fine, she's my woman
She's so fine, she's my woman
She's so fine, she's my woman
Love grows strong
Love grows strong

----------

She took me to the bottom
And she held me down
Those bubbles rising up they
Hardly made a sound

----------

I could never love you
Living right above you
Doing things you want to
Do on Friday night

----------

RPM Blues

Well I done burned out from the weekend
Things sure fell apart at work
RPM has started
Will I find me any words
Got to get my heart together
Got to tap that juicy flow
Can you help me with some music
I really want to know

----------

You can call me honey
You can call me baby
You can call me anything
But don't call me maybe
Call me for sure
Any time you can
You can call me anything
I'm your loving man

----------

Come on boys!
It's time to Packet In!
It's time to make some music
With some music friends
You may have never met some
But the music, it won't mind
So tune 'er up and belt it out
Don't be left behind

Listen boys!
Join up with Packet In!
Make some noise, feel the joys
Of music freely shared
You may be tired or out of sorts
You stream may be bone dry
But join right in and have a go
Don't be left behind

I know that you love me girl
But you're messing with my dreams
I think I could love you too
But it's much more than it seems
When the nights are cooling down
And you're wearing hot blue dreams
Stars are falling to the ground
And you wonder what it means
Dig deep to another world
Where yellow stands for greens
On the dance floor where hearts pound
And your sweat just beads and sheens

----------

She said, I said

She said
She needed someone
To hold her till dawn
And she hoped that I might

I said
I'm going down town
Gonna buy me a ticket
And dance through the night

She said
I tried to be strong
I tried to hold on
But it didn't go right

I said
I had a good time
You would have been fine
With me through the night

I was running half empty baby
Till that day at the beach
When I saw you

You swam out to
My dusky boat
You climbed up skin
Gold and glistening
You told me that
I was the one
You needed to
Make your dreams come true

I smiled at you
Looked in your eyes
Saw things I could
Never hope to dream
We headed to
Rose for the day
What happened there
Just blew me away

I was running half empty baby
Till that day at the beach
When I saw you

I was running half empty baby
Till that day at the beach
When I saw you

I was living half empty baby
Till that day at the beach
You saw me too

I was living half empty baby
Till that day at the beach
You saw me too

I never thought
Love at first sight
Was ever true
You proved me right
We've been in love
Longer it seems
It must have grown
In all our dreams

Next day at school
What a surprise
See the new girl
Fall into green eyes
All through our maths
Biology
I couldn't wait
For afternoon chemistry

I was running half empty baby
Till that day at the beach
When I saw you

I was running half empty baby
Till that day at the beach
When I saw you

I was living half empty baby
Till that day at the beach
You saw me too

I was living half empty baby
Till that day at the beach
You saw me too

Then came a day
There on the beach
Friends gathered round
Some made a speach
I looked at you
You smiled at me
Rings passed between
Heaven in reach

Down through the years
Right next to me
You've been my joy
My ecstasy
When our days end
You next to me
With all my heart
Can't you to see

I was running half empty baby
Till that day at the beach
When I saw you

I was running half empty baby
Till that day at the beach
When I saw you

I was living half empty baby
Till that day at the beach
You saw me too

I was living half empty baby
Till that day at the beach
You saw me too

I was running half empty baby
Till that day at the beach
When I saw you

I was running half empty baby
Till that day at the beach
When I saw you

I was living half empty baby
Till that day at the beach
You saw me too

Now I'm running on empty baby
But I've been happy to burn it
All for you!

----------

Burning it up
I'm burning it up
Burning it up
I'm burning it up
It's never enough
No never enough
It's never enough
No never enough

Building her up
I'm building her up
Building her up
I'm building her up
It's never enough
No never enough
It's never enough
No never enough

Running me down
She's running me down
Running me down
She's running me down
I'm never enough
No never enough
I'm never enough
No never enough

Tearing it down
I'm tearing it down
Tearing it down
I'm tearing it down
Enough is enough
Yeah enough is enough
Enough is enough
Yeah enough is enough

----------

I was born on the wild side
Of the wrong side of town
I went roaming to the far side
Climbing up heading down

----------

She was stuck in the middle
With a rainbow on her right
Though I don't know what that thing was
Standing by her left hand

Well I think I saw it once
A long time ago
In the middle of a nightmare
I had as a boy

It stood in the shadows
With the bright sunshine upon it
Red eyes glowing brightly
From that cold, misty dark

She reminded me of Texas
Across the street from Joske's
Where something famous happened
A long time ago

I opened my mouth
But the words that left were silent
And I felt her breath upon my mind
And those eyes upon my heart

I turned my back upon her
And headed for the levee
I knew I needed water
To cool my burning head

I heard the sound of footsteps
Drawing ever closer
I could not escape them
No matter how I ran

Now I'm floating to the ocean
Looking at the blue sky
Never to remember
What it is that I forgot

Rock Traffic Blues
(I intend to do this as a spoken word piece but if anyone can think of a tune for it, I will gladly entertain a song version)

Go ahead!
Let them all out
I have nowhere to go
And nothing to do at work

Why not stop a while and talk
To your friend beside the road
This road is all yours
For miles in every way

Hey try turning left from the right lane
It's a whole lot of fun
You wouldn't want to miss out
before your time is up

Go ahead and stick your nose out
In my lane while I'm not waiting
I could use the excitement
To stir my morning up

Why not turn right from the left lane
It's a whole lot more fun
Than left from the right
Would I steer you wrong?

Could you stand a little longer
In my lane as I'm driving
I want to see what happens
Your butt's got the bumpers not my car

Wow!
I love that tune.
Could you double the volume to 22
Oh and boost the bass a bit

Let's see
Green means go
Yellow means caution slow down
Red means stop
So flashing red and yellow means stop carefully
Flashing green and yellow means go carefully
But flashing red and green
What stop AND go

Hey bro
Walk a little slower
Your theory that a car isn't there
and therefor can't hit you
If you are not looking at it
Has been scientifically proven
You are totally safe

Hey
No problem
Looking down and texting
While walking across a busy street
Has been proven to be safe

Man I'm glad to see you finally digging up this read
It has been smooth for much too long now hasn't it
Do me a favour though
Next time don't be so slack and leave it smooth so long

(more to come)

V0
Get dressed in black leather
Crank it up to 9
The parties on
So let the night
Cover you in rhymes
You can't win by losing
So make your move on time
Don't jump the gun
Don't wait too late
That woman's much too fine

Chorus
Breathing in the water
And dancing with the daughter
Of a man who left this place such a long time ago
What did he know
Finally got to meet her
With the help of old greeter
And you don't know why your pressing gas you just want it slow
Does it all show


V1
She's got expectations
And diamonds on her toes
So pop the top
Give her a taste
Of roses for her nose
Other boys don't see it
They're chasing other girls
But she's the one
For you my friend
So let your heart unfurl


V2
Set sail for the islands
Of sultry love tonight
A little kiss
A gentle touch
And things could work out right
Love can't last forever
You've always been told
But take a chance
On this romance
Or you may never know

----------

I been running forever
Now I'm falling apart
Now it seems
My tangerine dreams
Are keeping me up in the dark

Get outside in the open
Look right up to the sky
See the moon
Longing for June
See the man starting to cry

I don't know where I'm going
Can't recall where I've been
Some folks say
I shouldn't have tried
Some just say it's a sin

I gotta keep myself moving
Can't afford to look back
I don't have
All that much anymore
Lost my one memory sack

--

I been running forever
Now I'm falling apart
I been buying you things
Like blue diamond rings
Now I sit alone in the dark

I don't know what I've been doing
Since you left me in June
I sit there alone
One the porch every night
Maybe I should howl at the moon

If it would make me feel better
I'd howl through evey night
And I'd track you down
Baby all over town
If only things would work out allright

But I know that aint happening baby
And I know I don't stand a chance
But if I only could
Then I surely would
Relight this dying romance

----------

A Girl Named Sue

Listen while I tell you bout a girl named Sue
She stole my heart and she left me blue
She chewed it up and then she spit it out
Left me a mess there aint any doubt

My heart's broke
My mind's unglued
Listen now
She'll do the same to you

Next I wanna tell you bout Mary Ann
Long and lean with a golden tan
Hair jet black and eyes of blue
Lit my fire then away she flew

My heart's broke
My mind's unglued
Listen now
She'll do the same to you

I probly ought to tell you bout Caroline
She had me going for quite some time
Made me think that her heart was true
Then she snuck on out man I'm tellin you

My heart's broke
My mind's unglued
Listen now
She'll do the same to you

Now the moral of my story should be plain to you
I thought I knew it but I got no clue
I keep making the same mistakes every time
Now I'm down to my last thin dime
(Got to change while I'm still in my prime)
(I aint fooling it's a major crime)

My heart's broke
My mind's unglued
Listen now
She'll do the same to you

----------

I forgot
To remember
What love was
And I forgot
To remember
My dreams

I spent the night
All alone
On an island
Washed up
Like all my
Best dreams

I forgot
To remember
What love was
And I forgot
To remember
My dreams

I spent the night
All alone
With a woman
Who wasn't there
Cause she was one of
My dreams

I forgot
To remember
What love was
And I forgot
To remember
My dreams

I sat alone
On a beach
As the tide left
Like my plans
Like my loves
Like my dreams

I forgot
To remember
What love was
And I forgot
To remember
My dreams

----------

You got ideas and commitments
But they been sung about before
You got ideas but intermittent
You got windows and open doors

You got dreams and aspirations
But you need your daily bread
So you lock up your desires
And you go to work instead

Hey take another shot at your future
Take another run at your goals
The time is now so get up and do it
Don't wait till you're growing cold

You got sunshine you got shadows
But they're playing in the sand
You got women pretty women
So you're trying to be a man

You got evening you got morning
You got darkness you got light
You got women pretty women
So you're trying to get it right

So take another shot at your future
Take another run at your goals
The time is now so get up and do it
Don't wait till you're growing cold

----------

Going upstairs to the bowling alley
Gonna roll myself some lines
Bring your big hooks or your Brooklyns baby
Bring your nickles and your dimes
Stick em in the old style pinballs baby
Play a couple games of pool
Then roll yourself a few more lines now baby
In your stinky rental shoes
I got my auntie's old pink polka dot ball
And the thing is just right in style
But if it gets me just one more strike well baby
It's better than a country mile

----------

I was living on a downtown train
With not enough love and too much rain
Flooding into my life but I didn't complain

----------

First you came along
Acting like a queen
Acting like you knew
Just how to live between
And the days would last forever
At least those in my dreams
And I've got to tell you baby
Forever's longer than it seems
When you're sitting all alone
On a dock beside a bay
Trying to make somebody love you
In some tired old fashioned way

----------

Sometimes I wonder
Just what I'm doing here
And I sit and watch the moonlight
In the waves and in your hair
I smile a little smile
But I'm holding back my tears
Sometimes I wonder
Just what I'm doing here

----------

It's four in the morning
The michelob maniacs
Are gunning for you
You can't get your mojo back
You tried real hard
But your money's leaking from the sack
It's four in the morning
The michelob maniacs

----------

Possiblte lyrics for this track: http://kompoz.com/t/73766

Somewhere deep within a midnight
You cried for a better man
Somewhere deep within a heartache
I lost all I ever loved
I lost you

Kept on drinking water till the well ran dry
Kept on drinking water till the well ran dry
Kept on drinking water till the well ran dry
Kept on drinking water till the well ran dry

or

She took me to the water but the well was dry
etc.

Then one night before the moon rose
You left on the falling tide
Closed my only door
One upon another I then piled
All my dreams upon the cold floor
Burned them to the bitter ground
Lonely me

Aching, my heart is aching
Breaking, my heart is breaking
Taken, why have you taken it all from me

Hey girl, why did you leave me
No way girl, I don't believe you
Please stay girl, you mean the whole world to me
Please stay



----------

I don't need you in the morning
Cause you'll leave me feeling blue
And I don't need you in the moonlight
Cause there's only room for two
I got plans and I got angles
Yeah you got curves but not enough
I'm just a sometime simple man
I don't do your fancy stuff

----------


...
He rolled with the stars
But he didn't care about their reputations
About their money or cars
Cause he had skies as blue as the rich boys
And his heart beat just as hard
No he didn't care about their reputations
About their money or cars
Cause he had a woman who loved him better
Said "Boy I love you just as you are!"

----------

You were young and beautiful
Now you're old and miserable
What happened to you girl
Down through the years

I remember sitting out
On wooden benches after school
Talking teenage foolishness
Thinking we were cool

I knew I could kiss your friend
If I only asked her to
But your lips were on my mind
And I was too afraid

Then came graduation day
And my poor heart was blown away
When I saw you with that boy
From another school

I found a job on a fishin boat
And tried to make a simple life
You moved away for college and
You never came back home

I searched for love for years and years
But it never worked out right
So I sometimes thought of you
Late in my quite nights

I heard that you had settled down
To a quiet life of rock and roll
With the front man for a band
That made it big I'm told

Now I see you sitting here
A face that's painted with despair
My heart wants to comfort you
But I don't know how

I tried to love you baby like you wanted me to
But you drained my heart and you left me blue
Fired up your tongue then you cut me in two

Let's go out and burn your money
I don't want to spend it honey
Captain says the day's so sunny
We should go and burn your money


----------

Well here I go baby
Breakin all your rules
Like take it slow
Maybe don't suffer fools
Careful what you do and
Watch what you say
I break 'em all baby
Each and every day
'Cause when it comes to you girl
True love will find a way
Yes when it comes to you girl
My love will find a way

----------

I lost my vinyl grooves
When a hurricane came to town
I was away on vacation
The poor things mostly drowned

Came back to a mighty drip
Black mold was going strong
Kitchen floor had rusty spots
Most everything was gone

Moved out on that very day
I Never did move back
Insurance man put up a fight
For a year before the crack

----------

Listen to my warning about
Mary Lou
A pretty peach from Georgia but she
Sings the Blues
Nothing ever pleases her so
How do you
Ever hope to make it big with
Mary Lou yeah
How can you ever make it big with
Mary Lou

----------

It's all well and good
To hope and dream
But what's to be done
When the practicalities
Do not permit the hopes
To become reality

----------

You're just not my style baby
You're just not my style
I could love you for a while baby
But you're just not my style

I could take you to the park baby
But you're just not my style
Walk you home after dark baby
But you're just not my style

You're just not my style baby
You're just not my style
I could love you for a while baby
But you're just not my style

----------

Well I got me a big dog that I call Bill
Smaller than a mountain and smaller than a hill
But bigger than a house Mister if you will
Believe a tall tale about a dog named Bill

Well he can hunt jakalope from dawn till dusk
Catch himself a yeti driving a school bus
Loch Ness Monster better run and hide
Cause my dog Bill likes to hunt the tide

----------

I've been conniving
All night long
And I've been contriving
To get you alone
Somewhere baby
So I can make a move
But now this rhythm
Has got me in a groove
And I can't stop dancing
No matter how I try
Up on this dance floor
While time is slipping by

----------

Come on and tell me a whopper baby
Tell me that you'll never leave
Come on and tell me a sweet one baby
That you're wearing your heart on your sleeve
Then come on and tell me the big one baby
That you're only just friends with Steve
Yes come on and tell me a whopper baby
Tell me that you'll never leave

----------

Well I been saving for another rainy day
But now it seems
The rain just up and ran away
Since you came
To the club last week to sing
About...

----------

Hit the dance floor at ten
Funky Chicken and Bump again

Well I took a journey
To the far side of love
Way over yonder where we'd always dreamed of
I wish you could have been there
It was so beautiful
When I took my journey to the far side of love

I got back last weekend
I was all tired out
From all of the parties without any doubt

----------

Out in the west
Where the girls look the best
And the wind blows clean through your mind

----------

Well now I'm stuck in the middle of the afternoon
With you
My momma says that you growed up way too soon
And it's true
You tell me bout the things that you're planning
Any you wanna do
And I'm stuck in the middle of the afternoon
With you

----------

Yes I'm looking for a guitar player
Who can play me a guitar tune
Yes I'm looking for a guitar player
Who can show up right about midnight
And wail to the rising moon
He needs to keep that rhythm going
Right on through the night
So I can keep on grooving slowly
Until the morning light
Set me free from my heart's aching
Set me free to take a flight
Down to the depths with Mary
While my memories fade from sight

Listen to my warning about
Betty Lou
A pretty peach from Georgia
But she sings the blues
Nothing ever pleases her so how do you
Ever hope to make it big with

Somewhere ebeyond the sunset
There's a man who loves to cry
Sing songs about his heartache
And the darkness of his sky
About a girl who up and left him
On a bright and sunny day

Girl you could never break my heart
In person
No you could never break my heart
In person

He drove into town around noon on a Friday
And he set up his gear right away
Down at the bar they called the Lone Star
In honour of the owner's home state
Then checked in the motel right down the street
Took a swim, a shower, and a nap
Woke up, got dressed, went down to the restaurant
Had dinner, desert, and two drinks

</older than following section but not sure howmuch older>

----------

She's a jet set woman
She can't settle down
She'll turn a man on
With a smile or a frown
She'll take his heart
Burn it right to the ground
Yeah she's a jet set woman
She can't settle down

She's a jet set woman
Grew from a jet set girl
She travelled the country hey
Yeah she travelled the world
She's gotta keep on moving
While her years unfurl
Yeah she's a jet set woman
She can't settle down

She's a jet set woman
She can't settle down
You can't hold her back
Don't even pretend
Don't try to restrain her
With a rope or a gun
Yeah she's a jet set woman
She can't settle down

The Celtics Game Was On

This was gonna be a better song
But the Celtics game was on
Somehow I couldn't find the time
To find the words to make the rhymes
To make this thing a better song
Cause the Celtics game was on

I was looking for a perfect bridge
But commercials and
A dash to the fridge
Resulted in a quick trip to the throne
Got in the way of my better song
Cause the Celtics game was on

There's Rondo and he's on the move
He's on fire and lookin good
Seems tonight he is in the groove
Moving easy and oh so smooth
Watch the pass now behind the back
Oops no it's a layup jack

Allen and Pierce on fire tonight
Kevin is a beast in the east that's right
Perkins and Big Baby are banging alright
And Rasheed is ready if you
No you don't really wanna fight
Oh yeah the Celtics game is on

Do you remember when the birdman ruled
Mchale and Chief up front with him too
Danny and Dennis were droppin threes
Raise the banners and raise em high
Yeah this was gonna be a better song
But the Celtics game was on

Dark Side Of Town

Walking on the dark side of town
Me and the lovely
Miss Mary Brown
The night is quiet
Hardly a sound
The moon above
Is shining down

You took my heart
And burned it down
Put out the fire
Upon the ground
Why'd you do it
Miss Wanda please
Explain to me
I'm on my knees

Walking on the dark side of town
Me and the lovely
Miss Mary Brown
The night is silent
Hardly a sound
The moon above
Is shining down

But you took my heart
You burned it down
Put out the fire
Upon the ground
Put out the fire

---

Walking on the hot side of town
Me and the sultry
Miss Wanda Brown
The night is hopping
To the sounds
The stars above
Are raining down

But you took my heart
You burned it down
Put out the fire
Upon the ground
Put out the fire

---

Walking on the far side of town
Me and the sassy
Miss Suzy Brown
The night is shining
Alive with sound
The sky above
Is floating down

You took my heart
And burned it down
Put out the fire
Upon the ground
Why'd you do it
Miss Lucy please
Explain to me
I'm on my knees

Walking on the far side of town
Me and the sassy
Miss Suzy Brown
The night is shining
Alive with sound
The sky above
Is floating down

But you took my heart
You burned it down
Put out the fire
Upon the ground
Put out the 

Walking on the dark side of town
Me and the lovely
Miss Mary Brown
The night is quiet
Hardly a sound
The moon above
Is shining down

But you took my heart
You burned it down
Put out the fire
Upon the ground
Put out the fire







----------

She likes Rock and Roll Saxophone
She blows it hot when no one's home
She wears me right down to the bone
With her Rock and Roll Saxophone
Cause I'm up all night but all alone
With her Rock and Roll Saxophone
Can't stop moving to the tones
Of her Rock and Roll Saxophone

----------

I went walking on the wrong side of town
In a little juke joint I put my money down
I said set em up Jack let's have a round
For everyone here who's feeling...
All break up like me
For everyone here who's feeling...
All break up like me

She walked on in and to my surprise
She looked right through me with her bedroom eyes
Said listen here mister I apologize
For all the things I never did...
To you
For all the things I never did...
To you

Well I'd never seen that woman before
But I knew just when she came in the door
And my jaw just sort of hit the floor
That I'd never let her out of my...
Dreams till I die
That I'd never let her out of my...
Dreams till I die

Just then a man six foot ten
Silenced the room just by walking in
Moved up to her and gave her a spin

Don't Rave In My Parade

Let her be what she wants to be
As she sits all alone
On the dock in the evening
When her joy just wont come home
He stays out late every night
Wears his fingers to the bone
On the steel of his six string
While his poor heart aches and moans
For a girl that he lost
So very long ago
Now he's afraid to speak and tell her
So he just stays away from home
As the night fades to a bleak dawn
She gets up stiff and cold
Makes her way into the still house
And puts the water on
Brews a hurting cup of green tea
While she ignores the phone
