West Coast Love Song
These haunted streets we knew
Empty, wet and bare
The dreaming houses few
But you’re not anywhere
Where are you
Where are you now
When the west coast night falls
When the silent streets call
Will you think of me at all
Will you think Jericho
When the light dies on the bay
As the seagulls cry above the waves
When the last of the big ships has sailed
And the heron has flown away
As your angels’ wings sag
As they wither and start to drag
When your feathers are falling to the ground
And there’s no one left around
When the leaves blow on the drive
As the west end couples pass you by
When there’s no one waiting for you at home
And you’re utterly alone
Will you think of Jericho
Will you think of Jericho
Will you remember this at all
Now the moment’s long gone away
And the west coast moon wanes
A new heron stands there all alone
Where the west coast darkness knows
That nothing is what it seems
Oh was it all a dream
That night at Jericho
Where did you go
When the west coast night falls
When the silent streets call
Will you think of me at all
Will you think Jericho
When the light dies on the bay
As the seagulls cry above the waves
When the last of the big ships has sailed
And the heron has flown away
As your angels’ wings sag
As they wither and start to drag
When your feathers are falling to the ground
And there’s no one left around
When the leaves blow on the drive
As the west end couples pass you by
When there’s no one waiting for you at home
And you’re utterly alone
Will you think of Jericho
Will you remember this at all
Where are you
Where are you now

A.D.D.
Here we go cause it’s easy
as 1, 2, 3
i don’t know you
And you don’t know me
But you still think
From what you see
i’m acting inappropriately
But i blame it on the a.d.d.
The what?
The a.d.d.
The what?
Blame it on the a.d.d.
The what? the what?
The a.d.d.
The what?
Here we go cause it’s
High time
We found out why
i can’t sit still
And i won’t deny
But it’s not just me
It could be you
Who knows
Maybe you got it too
So we blame it on
The a.d.d.
The what?
The a.d.d.
The what?
Blame it on the a.d.d.
The what? the what?
The a.d.d.
The what?
Now we’re turning those
Frowns around upside down
We may as well laugh
Cause we can’t stop now
And it’s easy as a, b, c
We can’t blame it
On too much tv
So we blame it on the
The a.d.d.
The what?
The a.d.d.
The what?
Blame it on the a.d.d.
The what? the what?
The a.d.d.
The what?
Blame it on the a.d.d.
The a.d.d.
The a.d.d.
So we blame it on
The a.d.d.
The what?
The a.d.d.
The what?
Blame it on the a.d.d.
The what? the what?

The what?
Blame it on the a.d.d.

January 22
And all the ugliness just melts away
I think i’ll turn another leaf today
A little extra shine on everything
When you still love me
The city gleams in splendour by the sea
A new hope carried on the ocean breeze
A little extra shine on everything
When you still love me

Just A Little

Just A Little
All we need is just a little love
Just a little
Sometimes is just enough
Uh huh
A little mercy when the going gets rough
Just a little
It doesn’t mean we’re not that tough
Uh huh
And it seems to me there ought to be
A rule or something for
If someone’s falling reach out for them
Before they hit the floor
And all we need is just a little luck
Just a little
Cause more might be just too much
Uh huh
A little grace as the world blows up
Just a little
To navigate the crazy stuff
Uh huh
And it seems to me there ought to be
A rule or something for
If someone’s falling reach out for them
Before they hit the floor
Nana nana nana nana
All we need is just a little more
Just a little, little, little, little,
Little, little, little more
And it seems to me there ought to be
A rule or something for
If someone’s falling reach out for them
Before they hit the floor
Nana nana nana nana

Deliverance
04:04
|

When we see what they have done
When we bleed we bleed as one
When we speak we speak aloud
When we rise we’re rising proud
Somewhere south of deliverance
South of deliverance
Somewhere south of deliverance
South of deliverance
We got another plan
We got a lot of friends
We got another plan
Picking up where they’ve begun
There’s a dream thy will be done
One by one there’s another town
There’s a storm it’s coming now
Somewhere south of deliverance
South of deliverance
Somewhere south of deliverance
South of deliverance
We got another plan
We got a lot of friends
We got another plan
Way down on freedom street
At the corner of liberty
Spray painted on an old fence
We’re south of deliverance
Somewhere south of deliverance
South of deliverance
Somewhere south of deliverance
South of deliverance
We got another plan
We got a lot of friends
We got another plan
We got another plan
We got a lot of friends
We got another plan

Carpe Diem Sunrise
03:09
|
|||
It’s just one of those days
When you wake up
And it feels like everything’s
Gonna be ok
We got knocked around but
We’re back up
And we’re ready to jump back
In the fray
So let the doubters doubt
And the haters hate
We’re sticking it out
Cause it’s not too late
For us to say, hey
Come on let’s start again
What do you say, hey
We can hurt and we can mend
We’ll find a way hey, hey
Come on don’t be afraid
Let’s seize the day
We gotta double back
Til we’re back on track
As we stumble through
The muddy grey
We got miles and miles
And tight lipped smiles
And we’ve lost some friends
Along the way
So let the doubters doubt
And the haters hate
We’re stickin it out
Cause it’s not too late
For us to say, hey
Come on let’s start again
What do you say, hey
We can hurt and we can mend
No time to waste, hey
Come on, don't hesitate
Let’s seize the day
It’s a carpe diem sunrise
By the fading harvest moon
As old man time flees the scene
It’s already afternoon
We’ll let the doubters doubt
And the haters hate
We’re stickin it out
It’s gonna be ok
And we can say, hey
Let’s go, it’s not the end
Now what do you say, hey
We won’t break if we bend
Don’t be ashamed, hey
No weak of heart only the brave
Let’s seize the day
Come on, come on
Let’s seize the day

Cinema

Always chases and sirens
And a hero on his way
Through the wreckage flying
And always saves the day
At the center of it all
You, resplendent
As you rise from the ashes shining
The darkness ended
One more take now get it right
Adjust the camera change the light
The scene repeats so hold on tight
You can do this all damn night
You’ve got a cinema heart
Sometimes it bleeds
You’re always playing a part
Made for tv
And all the love you need
Stays just out of reach
You’ve got a cinema
Cinema heart it seems
What a break in the case as
The mystery unfolds
And we all wait spellbound
For the verdict to be told
What a flair for the dramatic
And a sequel we all know
With an ending oh so tragic
As the credits roll
One more take now get it right
Adjust the camera change the light
The scene repeats so hold on tight
You can do this all damn night
You’ve got a cinema heart
Sometimes it bleeds
You’re always playing a part
Made for tv
And all the love you need
Stays just out of reach
You’ve got a cinema
Cinema heart it seems
One more take now get it right
Adjust the camera change the light
The scene repeats so hold on tight
You can do this all damn night
Night, night
Night, night
Night, night
You’ve got a cinema heart
Sometimes it bleeds
You’re always playing a part
Made for tv
And all the love you need
Stays just out of reach
You’ve got a cinema
Cinema
You got a cinema
Cinema
You got a cinema
Cinema
You got a cinema
Cinema Heart
Cinema Heart
Cinema Heart

Pieces
04:05
|
|||
Used to hold one another at night now
We only hold on to pieces of what
Once passed as love as once passed as sane now
Passes for blame now passes for all this pain
Where do we go now
The ship is sinking
It suddenly went down
For no good reason
The wine so sweet now sour
That we’ve been drinking
As silently we drown
And watch it all go down
Sweepin up
Sweepin up
Chunks and shards fragments crushed beneath our knees
Ground to pulp while we try to find our feet
Shattered pieces of broken hopes and dreams
No more us we ours only you you and me
Where do we go now
The ship is sinking
It suddenly went down
For no good reason
The wine so sweet now sour
That we’ve been drinking
As silently we drown
And watch it all go down
Try to find a way to glue
How did it come to this huh
How can we hope to fix huh
This twisted tangled mess huh
Now we’re just sweeping up
Sweepin up
Sweepin up
Where do we go now
The ship is sinking
It suddenly went down
For no good reason
The wine so sweet now sour
That we’ve been drinking
As silently we drown
And watch it all go down
Try to find a way to glue
How did it come to this huh
How can we hope to fix huh
This twisted tangled mess huh
Now we’re just sweeping up
The pieces
All we have are pieces

Sunbeams
03:41
|
|||
The moment passes and that’s ok
The city sleeps and the city wakes
And life goes on bittersweet in falling rain
We don’t know what tomorrow brings
But the sun's still up and the birds still sing
And despite it all good things are happening
We’ll still be we’ll still be in sunbeams
We’ll still be in dusty noonday sunbeams
So leaders speak and husbands try
As mothers weep and babies cry
and life is hard under cruel october skies
The news is bad and the challenge great
And we’re all weighed down by the same damned fate
But there’s love still here in a future ever strange
We’ll still be we’ll still be in sunbeams
We’ll still be in dusty noonday sunbeams
So I’ll wait here for a sign
As i die here in your eyes
The city works and the city plays
In another time in another place
Where life goes on and the moments slip away
So i’ll wait for you while you wait for him
To awaken maybe start again
To realize some things just have to change
We’ll still be we’ll still be in sunbeams
We’ll still be in dusty noonday sunbeams
We’ll always be in dusty noonday sunbeams

Drama On Hastings Street
03:27
|
|||
Oh the way down it’s not so far
Just a rung or two away
If you listen you might hear it
If you watch you might be entertained
Don’t need no ticket
Show’s always free
Down here on Hastings Street
Oh drama on Hastings Street
Oh endless this tragedy
Why the sorrow why the needle
Why the waste and the despair
Could we fix this could we care less
Just spectators unaware
Don’t need no ticket
Show’s always free
Down here on Hastings Street
Oh, drama on Hastings Street
Endless insanity
As rain gently falls we leave the stage
The Hastings Street lights shine
As we turn and walk away
Oh drama on Hastings Street
Oh endless this tragedy
Oh, drama on Hastings Street
Endless insanity

What In The World
03:56
|
|||
Ooooohhhhh yeah
Mysterious I’m serious
How can it be I’m so oblivious
Turn on the news am I confused
Did I ignore it did I just forget
Sometimes I think it’s all a dream
Then I’m awake and fighting back a scream
If these kids knew what’s all in store
Would they wanna buy it anymore
So what in the world is goin on again
Haven’t we learned our lesson yet
Is God insane or does he have a plan
If he’s on vacation when’s he gettin back
Cause I wanna know
Yes i wanna Know
I read the paper and I watch tv
I turn on the media machinery
I surf the web I search for truth
But all I find’s diluted deja vu
It’s not too late if we can just relate
To each other and forget our hate
We’ll be ok if we can find a way
To keep from repeating all the same mistakes
So what in the world is goin on again
Haven’t we learned our lesson yet
Is God insane or does he have a plan
If he’s on vacation when’s he gettin back
What in the world is goin on again
You want my opinion no one asked me yet
Is God asleep maybe he’s still in bed
Or six feet under do you think he’s dead
Do you think he’s dead
Do you think he’s dead
Ooooohhhhh yeah
So what in the world is goin on again
Haven’t we learned our lesson yet
Is God just lonely does he need a friend
Or has all this attention just gone to his head
What in the world is goin on again
You want my opinion no one asked me yet
Is God a comedian who doesn’t care
If this is his circus should we say a prayer
Cause i wanna know
Yes i wanna no

In Other Words

Can’t stop thinkin of all the things she said
Broken record endless in my head
Fascinating, captivating, stimulating, penetrating
Now we can read between the lines
The writing on the wall
In other words
Get out, get out, get out of here
I got nothin to say to you she said
Get out, get out, get out of here
I got better things to do she said
In other words
Can't imagine how this makes me feel
Only my desire or is this real
Contemplating, speculating, insulating, isolating
Waxing, waning, building, fading
Loving, hating, so frustrating
Now we can read between the lines
The writing on the wall
In other words
Get out, get out, get out of here
I got nothin to say to you she said
Get out, get out, get out of here
I got better things to do she said
In other words goodbye
In other words don’t try
Your words will never change me
Or how I feel inside
In other words I lied
Don’t ask I don’t know why
Your touch will never heal me
Of all the wounds I hide
In other words
Come on baby please don’t hate me
For god's sake please don’t forsake me
Now I feel for you now I need you
Since I say it’s true you should need me too she said
In other words hello
In other words don’t go
Come on I said I’m sorry
That’s not what I meant you know
In other words please stay
I don't want you to go away
I want it back the way it was
For everything to be ok
Now you can read between the lines
You see it’s right here on the wall
Let me spell it out for you I said
Get out, get out, get out of here
I got nothin to say to you I said
Get out, get out, get out of here
Just nod your head am I gettin through I said
Get out, get out get away from me
Don’t be showin your face around here I said
Get out, get out get away from me
Are you reading me loud and clear huh
In other words
I got nothin to say to you
