Change

She was acting pretty, thought she owned the city
Someone should have told her pretty ain’t a job
Now she begs for money, no one calls her honey
As she bothers shoppers in the parking lot

Gets her karma with a catch
Forgets superstition by wearing it backwards
Lives under ladders and sleeps with black cats

Some people never change
They just stay the same way

I swear this like a sailor, love is not a favor
I find it’s just a concept that we live inside
If you can agree with me and Mr. Twain
In matters of opinion our rivals are insane

Take A Vacation!

I need to take a vacation
If this is settling down
Then why aren’t you here?
I want a big celebration
The night we get back in town
And I hope you’re all there

But leave the waves at the ocean
Keep them all in a picture
And leave the cold where we came from
Our loneliness will keep us warm
We’re going going going very far

I need to take a vacation
If this is settling down
Why aren’t you here?
I want a big celebration
The night we get back in town
And I hope you’re all there

Leave the past out to pasture
And take the days as they come
And leave the sand in a suitcase
So we don’t forget the fun
We’re going going going very far

Cape Town

Took you in the vineyard a couple hours after I met you
Didn’t need my passport said I’d let you keep it forever
I hardly knew a thing about you
I got lost in Cape Town
In Cape Town

I saw you
I met you
I loved you
I left you
In Cape Town

Woke me in the morning asked me if I meant it
I didn’t
Asked to be her husband she already had one
In prison
I hardly knew a thing about you
I got lost in Cape Town
In Cape Town

I saw you
I met you
I loved you
I left you
In Cape Town

Ran all out of paper
Lost it all in part two
When I was in Asia
I forgot how to call you
Went out to a graveyard
To bum a couple flowers
To give to you
When I got back to Cape Town
To Cape Town

Maybe I Will, Maybe I Won’t

I don’t wanna find my home
Just wonder what happened to it
My hand’s all caught in stones
Who stole all my bones?
All my forgotten poems
Are a joke
What do I know maybe we’ll (?)
Doesn’t it show, people get old
When they’re alone

Maybe I will, maybe I won’t
Seven days over the sea shells
Sunk so many, it leads well
You come visit me
Finally finding free
Swim around in dream
Stay afloat
Maybe he will, maybe he won’t
Doesn’t it show, people get old
When they’re alone

Maybe I will, maybe I won’t
Maybe I will, maybe I won’t
The weather is impeccable
We’re riding to a festival
When suddenly it’s gray
Do not be afraid
For the wind it doesn’t stay
It blows and goes away
It blows and goes but never shows its face

Young Veins (Die Tonight)

Is young a word for dumb, a word for fun?
We have the time of our lives every night
Like it’s our job to lose our minds
Every night

But if I were to die tonight
Would you cry or deny
My place in your life?
I’m aware that you’re scared of my heart
But it’s here

Is young a word for dumb, a word for fun?
We have the time of our lives every night
Like it’s our job to lose our minds
Every night

It’s the same
Go to sleep with our blame
And the shame is enough to separate us
But we can’t help ourselves
We’re in love and it really hurts when it’s wrong

Everyone But You

A part of you left the room
I am left talking to the apple
She comes to me when I dream
I’m tired of counting sheep to see her
I sleep because I need her
And everybody knows it but you

A wedding ring is just a thing
That weighs you down and occupies your finger
I know it sounds a little down
But love is all I’m really after

She comes to me when I dream
I’m tired of counting sheep to see her
I sleep because I need her
And everybody knows it but you, but you
Everybody knows it but you

I hope you’re all listening
I’m pouring out my heart for paper
A part of me still believes
That love is all I’m really after

The Other Girl

Don’t wait around for love
You’re not what he’s thinking of
When he’s with the other girl
Don’t bother waiting up cause he
He’s not where he’s supposed to be
When he’s with the other girl
When he’s with the other girl

You, you were right
I was wrong
Like I always am
And you always are

Don’t have much to say right now
Cause I’m trying to figure out
Why he’s with the other girl
Life is not a fairytale
They will send him straight to jail
Where he’ll die and go to hell
With the other girl

Dangerous Blues

All I do is lie
By the ocean side
Why do the clouds all turn gray just for you?
I’ve never been such a beautiful blues

And step outside your door
And go down to the shore
Why do your eyes feel like shells in the dune?
And what makes a crowd turn away from a tune?
I’ve never been such a beautiful blues

Even the tide gets high at night
Even the truth is wrong sometimes

All I want to do is dig a hole with you
We are not strangers to the undertow
We won’t decide which way to go
But we will never leave
You’re all that’s left for me
This is a home, we just don’t have a door
Euphoria is at risk on the floor
The words keep on crawling from under the rug
Who knew that love was a dangerous drug?

Even the tide gets high at night
And even the truth is wrong sometimes
Sometimes
Who knew that love was a beautiful blues?
Who knew that love was a dangerous drug?
Now I know love is a beautiful drug
I know that drug are a dangerous love
I know now love is a dangerous blues

Defiance

There was a hope when we found the bridge
Of a place we’d never been
Defiance
And ever since I was a kid
They said, “just stay away from there”
Boy don’t you ever live
In defiance
Defiance

And from the outside looking in
I sure do make an easy target
It’s nice to think that you are always wanted
And I’m not afraid to laugh
And I don’t mind taking a photograph
Cause you don’t ask for my autograph
In defiance
Defiance

Yet she said it was rusted lead
Their love could never live again
But they found a way to make it stay
In defiance, she asked
In defiance, she asked
“Why can’t we just be friends?”
This kind of thing always happens
I fell in love again
With defiance

Lie To The Truth

When I started out
Writing you this song
I was heels over head in love
But you had your doubts
Cause it took too long
To finally see what I
What I’d been doing wrong

I tried to love you but
You still loved him so
I’ll ignore my heart and lie to the truth
I’ll lie to the truth
A love of mine once said
“The best part about you
Was me” so now who
Is judging who?

I know I broke your heart
Mine is broken too
Now if we’re even
Then why are we both blue?

I tried to be true but
You still love him so
I lie in silence and
Feel like a fool
I lie to the truth

I think that I have had enough
I guess that I have had enough
Of you

I think that I have had enough
I know that I have had enough
Of you

We tried to be true but
You still loved him so
I’ll keep my distance
And lie to the truth
I lie to the truth
I lie to the truth
Cause you lied to it too

Heart Of Mine

If I could ask for anything
I only want my girl
I’ve seen a lot of things going on
All around the world

I had to leave her all alone
And wrote this down so I could let her know
That I only want to see her

You should take this heart of mine
She always had that heart of mine
(Always had that heart of mine)

If I could win the lottery
We’d sail across the world
Travel to the Philippines
Buy an island just for you and me

Cause on the equator
It never even compared
I only want to see her

Funnel Of Love
Originally by Wanda Jackson

Here I go
Going down, down, down
My mind is a blank
My head is spinning around and around
As I go deep into the funnel of love

It’s such a crazy, crazy feeling
I get weak in the knees
My poor old head is a reelin’
As I go deep into the funnel of love

I tried and I tried, to run and hide
I even tried to run away
Ya just can’t run from the funnel of love
It’s gonna get ya someday

It’s such a crazy, crazy feeling
I get weak in the knees
My poor old head is a reelin’
As I go deep into the funnel of love

I tried and I tried, to run and hide
I even tried to run away
Ya just can’t run from the funnel of love
It’s gonna get ya someday

Here I go, going down, down, down
My mind is a blank
My head is spinning around and around
As I go deep into the funnel of love
Deep into the funnel of love
Deep into the funnel of love


Nothing Matters But You
Originally by Everly Brothers

Since we met, I sit around and want you
I don’t do the things I ought to do
I’m so in love I let the world go by me
Nothing matters but you

Every dream I dream, I dream about you
Loving you is all I wanna do
I’m so wrapped up that nothing can untie me
Nothing matters but you

Most folks need a world to conquer
Something big to do
They don’t know the worlds I conquer
When I’m kissing you

Let them all go chasing after rainbows
I have found my pot of gold in you
Your love is all I need to satisfy me
Nothing matters but you


Is It True?
Originally by Brenda Lee

Listen to the talk that’s going around town
Everywhere you go they’re spreading it around
Saying that you gone and found another one
Is it true my love, oh, oh
What about the ring you gave me yesterday
Is it hard for me to throw it all away
As you said goodbye if you have no lie
Is it true my love, oh, oh

Don’t you know, don’t you know
You’re making me blue
Baby, baby, say it isn’t, say it isn’t true
Coming down the street the story looks the same
Everyone I meet is whispering your name
Saying that you’ve gone and found another one
Is it true my love, oh, oh
Saying that you’ve gone and found another one
Is it true my love, oh, oh

Don’t you know, don’t you know
You’re making me blue
Baby, baby, say it isn’t, say it isn’t true
Coming down the street the story looks the same
Everyone I meet is whispering your name
Saying that you’ve gone and found another one
Is it true my love, oh, oh


Security
Originally by Otis Redding

I want security, yeah
Without it I had a great loss, oh now
Security, yeah
And I want it at any cost, oh now

Don’t want no money, right muh now, muh now, muh now
I don’t want no fame
But security I have all of these things, yeah
All of these things, yeah, now
Security, yeah
That’s all I want from you, oh now
Security, yeah
And a little love that will be true, oh

Those sweet tender lips you know they tells me that
You’re the one for me
Darling, how can I forget
How can I forget, yeah now

I want security, yeah
I’m telling you, once say again, oh now
Security
And I want it in the end, oh

Those sweet tender lips you know they tells me that
You’re the one for me
Darling, how can I forget
How can I forget, yeah now

Alone with just a little bit of soul, right now, now, baby
Darling, everything is gonna be allright
One more time, just one more time, baby


When You Walk In The Room
Originally by The Searchers

I can feel a new expression on my face
I can feel a glowing sensation taking place
I can hear the guitars playing lovely tunes
Every time that you walk in the room

I close my eyes for a second and pretend it’s me you want
Meanwhile I try to act so nonchalant
I see a summer’s night with a magic moon
Every time that you walk in the room

Maybe it’s a dream come true
Walkin’ right along side of you
Wish I could tell you how much I care
But I only have the nerve to stare

I can feel a something pounding in my brain
Just any time that someone speaks your name
Trumpets sound and I hear thunder boom
Every time that you walk in the room
Every time that you walk in the room
