Baby Said 03:35
lyrics

Baby's wanting me to say That I'm in love with her Tells me that she's here to stay but I cannot concur Baby said she loves me But she's got some other plan I'm not much for flattery So catch me if you can Up, up, and away To where my mind is free I'm taking a page Out of the book you said you wrote for me to read Monkey see and monkey do But can that monkey dance? Struttin' down the street He's not wearing any pants Someone's gotta tell that boy To lock his pride away Swinging it around You're gonna put yourself to shame Up, up, and away To where my mind is free One too many days Stuck in my misery Up, up, and away I'm making history I'm taking a page Out of the book you said you wrote for me to read This is what I'm doing This is who I am Life is not forever You take it when you can Two and two makes five And that's all nine between the three Messing with my mind is what she likes to do to me Baby's wanting me to say That I'm in love with her Tells me that she's here to stay but I cannot concur Up, up, and away To where my mind is free One too many days Stuck in my misery Up, up, and away I'm making history I'm taking a page Out of the book you said you wrote for me to read This is what I'm doing This is who I am Life is not forever You take it when you can

Spent my whole life wondering Never knew what shape I'd be in But you You felt so true I spent a lot of time wandering Hangin' 'round on the streets where we once grew We felt so new Now I got something that you want And I can't give it away Try to take it if you must You can't have it no way Take a jump, take the ladder in Climb a rope Acclimatize your sense of truth To something new Dress it up anyway you want Change the look Change the title font to blue If that's what suits you Yeah I got something that you want And I can't give it away Try to take it if you must You can't have it no way Yeah I know you've got something to say Step up to the microphone And take it away I spent my whole life wondering About you

Painted Love 03:09
lyrics

I don't want to decorate your heart With all my painted love A stolen work of art And I don't want To make or break the part Don't paint me with your love So early from the start You wanna rush right in That's not my kind of thing I'm the type of guy who likes to make a slow begin You wanna giddy up Cause you can't get enough I'm not racing to a finish Let me ease it into ya I don't want to decorate your heart With all my painted love A stolen work of art And I don't want To make or break the part Don't paint me with your love So early from the start Little china doll When you break you fall And I've been running to your side to try and save it all You get the best of me But you keep testing me And I keep passing but I'm failing To be sure of what you need I don't want to decorate your heart With all my painted love A stolen work of art And I don't want To make or break the part Don't paint me with your love So early from the start Such a silly thing It's just a diamond ring But it's the most that you can hope Your lonely life will bring A little lady of Unconditioned love But do you find that over time The perfect dream is not enough I don't want to decorate your heart With all my painted love A stolen work of art And I don't want To make or break the part Don't paint me with your love So early from the start Don't paint me with your love So early from the start

Fight Night 03:56

What do you want from me tonight, little baby? If you're looking for the light You can't save me There's a dark & stormy world Come the morning we'll unfurl Think of all the other girls You missed the warning And you'll play it all night long But it's not your favourite song Oh no no Getting tired So you stop for a refreshment Tryin' to find your secret club They're in the basement And they do all the things you see When you're surfing on yer TV It's a special kind of love That makes you hate me And you'll play it all night long But it's not your favourite song And maybe you'll be right tonight Or Maybe we'll just fight tonight Well sure We could make it right tonight But instead we'll fight and fight and fight and fight and fight What do you want from me tonight, little baby? If you're looking for the light You can't save me

The Circus 03:01

If you wanna I'll be around but You won't find me knocking' on your door On and on the Circus and drama I don't want the front row anymore My foot is on the floor You know I can't hold onto you And I don't wanna do this Anymore Fresh lasagna Baked by your momma Don't set out a plate for me tonight I can tell ya She raised a hellion A little demon Trained to petrify And terrorize the night You know I can't hold onto you And I don't wanna do this Anymore You set my soul on fire And watched it burn to the ground I tried and tried and tried To douse it out You set my soul on fire You left it burn too the ground I tried and tried and tried But I can't drown the flames So I will run away And if you really want the truth I don't think I can do this Anymore

Angry boy At the world Don't let 'em get to you They're gonna break you down Little girl Your heart's anew Watch what they say to you They'll try to break you down They'll divide it up Your conquered heart You're gonna hate your lovers Is dropping that bomb The right thing to do I'm gonna run for cover Cause I've got divide & conquer blues You point your gun at me Baby please don't shoot I've got no grievance left with you We've made a mountain Out of sticks & stones The zombie mobs On headline news They will prey over you And then come swooping down Little mouse Outta yer hole Look what they've made for you The cat's invited too Yes I've got divide & conquer blues You point your gun at me Baby please don't shoot I've got no grievance left with you We've made a mountain Out of sticks & stones They'll divide it up Your conquered heart You're gonna hate your lovers Is dropping that bomb The right thing to do I'm gonna run for cover

Leanne 04:12
lyrics

You do your best to play along Keep your head up when the people treat you wrong Serving bottles, mopping floors Play piano, dream of someday something more And you wonder Why's he smile at you like that And why's he hiding all his love behind his back It may be nothing It may be more That gaze across the bottle While you mop the floor He's singing Oh Leanne I want your heart of gold Oh Leanne I think I want to know you more The world outside is so unkind You want to have someone To bring some peace of mind And maybe he's been hurt before Knows what it's like to watch a love walk out the door He's singing Oh Leanne I want your heart of gold Oh Leanne I think I want to know you more Oh Leanne I never want to go So pour another one And talk to me some more And you say No one loves you like your mom And no one cares about the road you're walking on Well it may be nothing It may be more That gaze across the bottle While you mop the floor I'm singing Oh Leanne I want your heart of gold Oh Leanne I really want to know you more Oh Leanne I never want to go The rain is falling and there's shelter in your door Oh Leanne I think I'd love you so To pour another one And talk to me Just a little more

Still Alive 04:02
lyrics

Looking out into the night Where the dark begins What's this worry on my mind I can't tell if I am right or I am wrong again Or if I'm running out of time Then the devil comes and shoots me from behind So I flap my wings and fly And as the sun comes up I can feel myself wake up And I'm Still alive I'm still alive When the morning was a child And we were young again The treasure hunt was prime You were hanging from the branches of an apple tree You were swinging like a vine Then the good lord comes to save me from myself And I pass up on the help So the test of time Sees me further down the line And I'm Still alive I'm still alive Still Alive Day in day out Nights in this house Day in day out I've had my doubts You better run if you can You better run You better run if you can You better run You better run if you can You better run

All Or Nothing 03:34

I can see what you're doing to me And I don't think I like it Why you trying to sell me for free When no one's gonna buy it There's a leak creeping out of the wood Now it's raining from the ceiling All along I've been misunderstood But now I got the funny feeling It's all or nothing Living in this masquerade Talkin' tall and sufferin' Living up the lies you love to say Take a drink of this beverage I made Don't you dare say I spiked it Put your blood on the end of my blade But don't let them shed the light in It's a dark place down in my cave I've been living in the basement Your little spark it's too bright for my face I kinda wonder where your faith went It's all or nothing Living in this masquerade Talkin' tall and sufferin' Living up the lies you love to say You can't hang a ransom On my soul I know you're gambling Foolish gold I'm holding aces but your dealing hand is oh so cold And everybody knows You should fold Cause it's All or nothing Living in this masquerade Talkin' tall and sufferin' Living up the lies I'd love to Call you out man I'm cleaning up this mess you made I'm walkin' tall & conquering Living up the life it's good to Know that you're alright And you're ok

Picture On The Wall 04:01
lyrics
buy track
When you are all alone in love Nobody's waiting for your call Sometimes it's easier To leave her picture on the wall She can still take your pain away You can still tell her of your day But when the night comes down Those lonely tears will hit the ground She was your wildest dream Covered in whipped cream The angel of your deepest, darkest fantasies You're alone now And you've been wandering around Where the wind blows But your broken heart still thinks it knows When you are all alone in love Nobody's waiting for your call Sometimes it's easier To leave her picture on the wall She can still take your pain away You can still tell her of your day But when the night comes down Those lonely tears will hit the ground And she haunts your dreams But it helps you sleep Cause she made you see What love can really mean Yeah she haunts your dreams But it helps you sleep Cause she made you see What love can really mean
