City Love Affair
©2004 Jae Avery/Jim Kirby

Packed up my old life
And left my old love behind
Boarded a westbound
Via heaven above to find
A whole new way of paying my dues
With this inner city miss-you-blues
But a new spell has been cast over me
And I no longer, I no longer,
I don't wanna be free
Till it seems to the world that I don't care
'Cause I'm caught up in this
City love affair, city love affair

Since I found you my life has tranquility
And now is the time for truth and honesty
I spent all my time paying the cost
Of life's heartaches that had me so lost
But you healed my soul till I no longer bleed
Now I wear my heart and tears
On your sleeve
I'm so much in love it's all my heart can bear
Bound by the limits of this
City love affair, city love affair


Back Home Again
©2003 Jae Avery/Pete Farrugia

Follow your heart
Follow your dreams
Right to the bitter end
And when there's no doubt
You've burned 'em all out
It's time to go back home again

Some other time

Some other place

Somewhere you've never been
A brand new start
Or another escape
Gonna lead ya
Right back home again

It don't matter how far you go
Or the distance that we're apart
You can go as far as Timbuktu
But you're always in my heart

Racing through life

Chasing the dreams
You almost disappear in
When time won't wait
There's always a place
Right here for you
Back home again

Ugly But Beautiful

©2004 Lara A. King
Your lips are beautiful
And they smile at me
When you're asleep
The face of an angel
I'm so grateful I stop breathing
Just to hear you breathe
You walk into a room
And no one dares to move an inch
In case they spoil the view
For someone else who's watching you
But I'm not gonna moan
Tonight I'm playing romeo
No one needs to know
I'm the one taking you home
It's me who's taking you home
But when we get home
I just wanna be alone
I sense a shift in tone
All you wanna do is moan at me and
Suddenly I'm flown
To a place where I don't wanna be
I'm looking for a reason
You're looking for a fight
Whenever we're not alone
You're all sweetness and light
A diploma in charisma
Insures you're always in the right
Sleeping beauty but
Oh when you wake
You manipulate and stipulate
and say that you hate me
Scheming and deceiving
Make believing you share the dream
Shouting and screaming
Until the neighbours all join in
Treasured possessions
With accusations start to fly
I don't understand why
It's me who needs an alibi
Drive me  to distraction
Drive me crazy
Drive me into the ground
Why is it when I reach for the door
I stop and turn around
Because you're beautiful
As you wonder at the stars
It seems suitable
To be in love with you
And I miss you sometimes
Like when it's cold outside
And I'm listening to the shipping news
You walk into a room
And I can't take my eyes off you
I don't know what to do
Until I know what mood you're in
Don't  wanna blow a fuse
You know how easily I bruise
But I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna be alone
I don't wanna be alone
It's ugly but it's beautiful

Summerlime

©2004 Lara A. King

We could walk up a dusty path
Sometime today we'll meet the sea
I could chalk a tattoo on your arm

And you could do one on me
Take a dip as the light fades on the ocean
Draw our names in the sand
Eating chips in a bar that's lit by lanterns
And I could hold your hand
And you could hold my hand
Chorus

Sun is high, high up in the summer sky

And everything is fine
Tell me that this is how it's gonna be
You're gonna be my sugar baby
And I'll be your summerlime
Climb out over the high gates

Of the gardens
All day just wasn't enough
Didn't I say hey lay me in the long grass

Babe and let me do my stuff
Let me do my stuff yeah
Chorus
When is a door not a door
When is true love untrue
Well I know that I

Closed the door on true love

When I closed the door on you
So kiss me and lead me to the hollow tree

Where your love is mine
Tell me that this is how it's gonna be
You're gonna be my sugar baby
Take time to take a sip of summer wine
Spend all night on the phone
Kites chime they're no longer yours or mine

But where they ring is home
Where they ring is home yeah, home yeah
Chorus

 

 

Freak Out Girl
©2004 Silvia Rox
Hey I keep wonderin' inside
I keep asking myself why
I'm sick n' tired of this story going on
Well I should do something to change
And give myself a chance
I should try somehow a clever way
To escape away, escape away
As the time goes bitter
You're going freakier
I can see it in your eyes
You're freakin' out girl
You're freakin' out
Always trying to work it all out
As you go
I keep following you
An' you go freakier
You freak out girl….
You carry on…
No matter how babe
You just go
Shala-la-la-lah-la-la-lah
No matter what I say today
And if I say it anyway
All I have to do is writin' up the song
And if I only could know how
I wish that I could help you now
But there's nothing much
That I could really do for you, do for you
I watch your eyes your eyes are blue
Something's wrong and it's not you
And I do believe you've done quite a lot

If the music keep you on
Then you're sure you can't be wrong

A
fter all it's the only thing you've got
To carry on babe
And you carry on
No matter how
With the rhythm of your song
And I am watching you now
As the day goes bitter
You're going freakier
I can see it in your eyes
You're freakin' out
You're freakin' out
Always trying to work it all out
I should I feel
When everything I want is never real
How should I feel
Oh give me some faith to carry on
I keep wonderin' inside
Always trying to work it all out
I should I feel
When everything I want is never real
How should I feel
Oh give me some faith to carry on
I keep wonderin' inside

I keep asking myself why

Dumb Drunkard

©2004 Silvia Rox
You strange thing
Made of human flesh
In my hand I hold your hair
Now I can feel it
Just on my skin
If you were there
I would see the sadness on your face
And like a mirror
Like a mirror
I'd look you straight into the eye
I am just another one
With trembling hands
I am just another Dumb Drunkard
Spending the day
In a nightmare bedroom
Full of bookmakers
Childhood friends and thieves

All of my life have I been waiting
Have I been searching
Have I been praying
Patiently waiting all of my life

There, in the yellow lights
They don't believe me
But I feel a baby again tonight
And they will share my way at last
I know there's sadness in your face
She's the only thing
That's ever been mine - he said -
She's the thing I am losing now
Do you remember when she used to
Let her hair hang down
And I'd look you straight into the eyes
I am just another one
With trembling hands
I am just another Dumb Drunkard
Spending the day
In a nightmare bedroom
Full of bookmakers
Childhood friends and thieves

All of my life…


Nursery Rhymes
©2003 Julz Parker
Once Upon a time
We sang nursery rhymes
Now there's MTV
And it shows us all
How 'pretty' we can be
Once upon a time
You would find a story teller
There you'd find your tale
Now the story tellers in a box
The stories are for sale
Jack and Jill went up the hill
The dish ran away with the spoon
When you're writing your book of life
Which parts do you include?
"To be or not to be?" is out now on DVD
But no one ever killed a witch with a gun
Once upon a time
I heard "ring around the rosie"
And I liked the tune
Now I've heard tales of kids that died
And we're walking all over the moon
You don't run down the street no more
To scared of gravel burn
But if you moved a little faster
You're scared what you might learn
We've gotta hope that we profit
From the knowledge of the world
What will you cherish before you perish?
Maybe we'll build a plane
And get a birds eye view
But what will we lose?
"To be or not to be?" it stares right at me
But no one ever killed a witch with a gun
Can you see the water

Two of my best friends
Have just had a baby
She might be a lawyer
A muso or maybe
She might be a pilot
But lets not jump the gun
She's already created a mum
Their mission was shaped
Toward a new aim
Floating round the planet
Just wasn't the same
Found health and fresh water
Good friends, the sun
This kid's certainly destined for fun
So I can smile now as this city rolls by
Knowing someone can carry the flame
Its rare in this mess
With all our scheduled stress
We can see water not only as rain
See water not only as rain
Can you see the water?
See the water, cause they'll tell you
Don't jump, skip or hop
Shuffle forward till you pop
Pills for sleeping and eating
And keeping up greetings
If ever it feels like you're part of a hive
And the queen bee is missing
That's if she's alive
And you know you're not
Getting your piece of the pie
Its time to live your life!


Love Will Find A Way
©1998 Elaine Samuels
I believe in you
And the light that shines inside
I believe in the future and the song
I know there's a road
I must travel down
I know that love can't be wrong
Chorus
Love will find a way
Through the darkness
Love will find a way my friend
Love will find a way
Through the sorrows
Love will find a way in the end
There's an answer to your questions
If you just wake up and see
There's a message
Floating somewhere on the wind
When everything seems
Shattered by the raging of the storm
Hold on
To the voice that speaks within
We have stepped into the fire
We have burned with desire
Had our feelings
Torn apart and cast away
We have swallowed the flame
And cried with the pain
And from the ashes
We must face another day
I know there is darkness
As we walk along the road
But its just because
Our eyes are closed with pain
Wake up and look around
There is beauty everywhere
There are friends
Walking beside us in the rain

The Child Inside

©1998 Elaine Samuels
Remember the long, hot summer days
Jumping in the river
Climbing trees in the park
Remember the wonder of it all
Make believe magic
And dreams in the dark
Chorus
Deep inside hear the call
Listen to the child
The child inside us all
Remember thinking
You would stay forever young
And life was something special
Full of treasures to be won
Remember love so easy and so strong
Laughing with your best friends
Running free under the sun
Chorus
I want to live like that again
I want to take away the pain
I want to feel
I can become anything and anyone
I need a new reality
I have to find the child inside of me
Its very dark
Outside my window tonight
But the blackness makes it easier
To see the stars so bright
And I know I can be what I want to be
Stars are shining in the eyes
Of the child inside of me
Chorus

Wow Me

©2004 Carrie Lennard

Take the bit and where you hit

My love just one more time

Laugh and cry to hear me sigh

Your rhythm beat sublime

Love me for the closing door

Shut tight upon my virtue

I love you more than you'll be sure

I never want to hurt you

Chorus

Move me, move me

Wow me, wow me

Move me a little closer

Find me, find me

And love me, love me

A little longer before I fly

Assess the situation

See the clock ticking by

Do I stay one more hour

And give my last try

Edges sharp against my heart

Will take away my sorrow

Slow, but sure, this closing door

Will close upon tomorrow

Chorus

Just Like Your Mother

©2004 Carrie Lennard

Chorus

Well, you're just like your mother

You know you are

Born to conventionality

With a history far

Exceeding the moments

That left a scar

Yes, you're just like your mother

You are

Elegant, romantic

You love to play

And when your feet are grounded

You know
You've got an awful lot to say

And just like your mother

You can save the day

At great expense to your senses

I hear you say

You are what she wanted

The best of friends

You saw her go to pieces

And watched her build
Herself back up again

And you,
And you will always listen, listen

Chorus

La la la la…..

And you will always listen, listen

La la la la….
