Lyrics
Why Baby Why
You Say you love me that don’t mean I gotta love you back,
And that i need you yeah like a heart attack,
Why don’t you leave me i just can’t see why you’re hanging round,
I try to tell you but you just don’t seem to understand,
Lose my number don’t you call me anymore,
Just tell me one thing why you waiting by my door,
Chorus
Why baby why baby why,
Cry baby cry baby cry
And when I talk to guys you act all crazy,
I know you mean well but I don’t need that baby,
It’s just a silly crush it’s time for you to go and find,
Somebody new cause baby I don’t wanna waste your time,
Believe me baby when I say it’s gotten out of hand,
Why can’t you be a man, I just don’t understand
Chorus
I used to find it cute but now it’s just a pain boy,
Go out and buy a ticket and get on the next train boy,
Can’t even break up cause we never were together,
Why can’t you simply get me out of your head forever
Chorus
Sexy Sita
The Senorita, a Spanish Dolce Vita,
They call Sita, when their looking for fun,
She’ll draw them with her eyes and use her best disguise,
She’ll take their honey, and dance for anyone,
She pictures living in her perfect world,
and so she’ll tempt whoever either boy or girl for their pearls,
She wants the world to see she wants them all to see, to see her,
Chorus
She’ll make you believe that you’ll be her one and only
dancin’ the dance that she does,
She never believes that she’ll see beyond the lonely
dancin’ the dance that she does,
thinkin you’ll, be the fool, who’s the fool,
She hides a secret, forever close she’ll keep it,
Cause there’s nowhere that she feels she belongs,
She lives in limbo but it wasn’t always so,
and she don’t want, no one to know where she came from
She pictures living in her perfect world,
and so she’ll tempt whoever either boy or girl for their pearls,
She wants the world to see she wants them all to see, to see her,
Chorus
Strawberry Fair
Everyone’s talking bout the credit crunch,
All the ladies as they meet over brunch,
I hear it every time I turn on the news,
But all I see around me are shopping queue’s,
I took a walk down to Strawberry Fair,
Passed the market onto Bloomsbury Square,
I stopped to hear a little mocking bird sing,
And for a moment I forgot everything
Chorus
But I’m just trying to keep my head above water,
Stay a float and try to figure it out,
I’m trying to keep my head above water,
But it’s hard when you’re tumbling down,
People pushing rushing making a fuss,
Hopped on the sub way took the 40 A bus,
I sat in the park and watched a girl play guitar,
And tried to remember how to shoot for the stars
Chorus
But I’m just trying to keep my head above water,
Stay a float and try to figure it out,
I’m trying to keep my head above water,
But it’s hard when it’s falling down,
Well they say that it’s a term of expression,
But I think it’s time to send in the clowns,
I’m trying to keep my head above water,
But it’s hard when you’re tumbling down………
Parade
I feel so high,
Listening to the beat as the band goes by,
I’m looking in your eyes,
The sun is in the sky
I’ve got new shoes,
Happy people passing by take away my blues,
It’s good to be alive,
It’s good to be alive
Chorus
One, two, three, four,
I am addicted to the sound let me hear more,
Happy people passing by,
Happy people passing by
I like dancing,
With the people as the people with the pickle pass by,
Listening to the sound,
Listening to the sound
Chorus
Led by a big white horse,
There were floats and colour boats and a big bass drum,
Look at the tin man with the best-dressed costume,
Chorus
Shake
I’m a high class girl said miss missy to the doorman won’t you go and let me in,
Stop there girl I gotta roll with the dough follow roll with the dough flow sin,
Just as well I got a pocket full if nickels for the fickle man killing my soul,
Well step inside take the right hand elevator down to where I think you wanna go,
Chorus
Take me down down baby take me down down,
Take me down down down,
Take me down town baby take me down town,
Take me down down town
I’ll shake my booty to the rhythm that you’re making, making me wanna dance some more,
I’ll take my soul where there’s no worries and no hurries and my troubles left at the door,
I said go Casanova baby keep on walkin’ cause I ain’t got time to quit,
He said hey there girl I gotta tell gotta tell ya that I’m thinking that you’re looking fit
Chorus
Shake it out now shake it all about now, shake it out shake it out,
Work it out babe baby work it out now, work it out work it out,
Take me down down baby take me down down, take me down down down,
Take me down town baby take me down town, take me down down town
You look a fool yeah, you’re thinkin’ you’re cool well, aren’t you the fool with the cool hat on,
You’re nothin’ but lazy (I think you’re crazy), walk in a hazy, ya think you’re playin’ boy ya got it all wrong
If I
If I ain’t got you I won’t cry myself to sleep at night,
If I ain’t got you I won’t lie awake till morning peers her light,
If I ain’t got you I wont try and find the reason’s to the reason I feel blue,
If I ain’t got you, if I ain’t got you
If I ain’t got you I won’t look upon a photograph,
If I ain’t got you I won’t wish upon a star to bring you back,
If I ain’t got you I won’t feel the cold embrace me every time I’m without you,
If I ain’t got you, if I ain’t got you
If I ain’t got you I wont need no getting over you,
If I ain’t got you I won’t call a friend to say “you will get through”,
If I ain’t got you I won’t try to find the reasons to the reason I miss you,
If I ain’t got you, if I ain’t got you
If I ain’t got you I will dream about you every night,
If I ain’t got you I will count the days for every tear I cry,
If I ain’t got you I will sit in silence thinking about how much I want you,
If I ain’t got you, if I ain’t got you
Mercy Cry
I am a stranger in my homeland,
They came and they took our homes away,
Someone hear my cry,
Please someone hear my cry
How can you call this your faith?
Where’s our right to choose,
Does it make you proud, does it make you proud?
Scenes of violence on the streets,
Raped and beaten to their knees,
Families dying at one another’s feet,
For God’s sake hear this Mercy plea,
How can you call this your faith?
Where’s our right to choose,
Let’s stand together hand in hand,
Near the home of the Hirakud dam
Chorus
And Lord, hear my Mercy Cry, hear my Mercy Cry
Angels roam these plains,
Fly them to a higher ground,
The innocent should not die,
Lord hear my Mercy Cry
Don’t let it be too late,
Open the freedom gates,
Chorus
Three Minute Miracle
Don’t climb aboard don’t climb aboard the train wreck,
Don’t let the fear take a hold of your neck,
Why is this quest for perfection?
Listen as the egotistic psycho blows his own horn,
Illustrate, pontificate to what is his porn,
Down at the Bordellos nightclub
Chorus
Jazz it up like Jezzabelle, diaries of a cheeky girl,
Listen to the drumbeat hotter than a vacuum,
Rush of a blush cheek confessions of a bridegroom,
It’s just a family tradition,
See him going crazy on the floor with his skills honed,
Watching all the ladies wanting more as he gets stoned,
This is more like hell than heaven
Chorus
Jazz it up like Jezzabelle, diaries of a cheeky girl,
Down at the seven eleven,
Everything is getting everything is getting difficult,
Everyone is waiting for their Three minute miracle
I walked down to the door where the kids get their score,,
I say him squirm to his knees as he started begging please,
Everybody’s gotta make gotta make a living,
Listen to the drumbeat hotter than a vacuum,
Rush of a blush cheek confessions of a bridegroom,
It’s just a family tradition
Chrous
Ain’t No Temptin Me
Living on the edge is one of my specialities,
Innovative purity like honey is to the bee,
Mystified and terrified it varies day to day,
But nothing in this world could ever lead me astray,
Chorus
As a matter of fact,
I made a pact,
To keep on feeling and to keep on believing,
Temptation led Eve to pick the apple from the tree,
But Lordie don’t you know that there ain’t no temptin me
Caught up in a world of bitterness that’s brought you to your knees,
Loosing touch with your own identity,
Unspoken words can be uneasy to define,
On the back of a cigarette box that surely come a flying
Chorus
I’ve been to many places drank the sweet and bitter wine,
But my roots hail from the southlands many years I spent denying,
Johnny Cash, and his ring of fire,
And good ole Elvis, way down in Memphis,
And Willie Nelson and Patsy Cline,
So put your hands back In your pockets cause what your selling I ain’t buying
Chorus
Is This Goodbye
Kept hidden is a secret, that should have remained,
Everyone has a secret or two,
Why it’s a fool, who would release them,
To the great unknown,
To be left broken and ridiculed,
And I see the pain, and hurt in his eyes,
that were once filled with pride,
As he falls to his knees and I fall to mine,
All the salt in the sea,
Would not be enough,
To fill up the tears
Chorus
Is this goodbye
The demons will follow, wherever you go,
Everyone’s got a demon or two,
They’ll only hold their silence, for so long
Till they come home to roost,
And I turn to you, as you turn away,
And I beg you to stay,
But it’s all in vain, cause you left anyway,
Now I’m all alone, with my demons for friends,
But I won’t believe this is the end,
Chorus
And i know that i’m not crazy, and i’ll hold onto,
What we had and what we have,
It can’t be all through,
I can’t breath without you can’t see me without you,
You know i’m afraid on my own,
Chorus
I look in the glass, at the face I once knew,
And ask it will you, forgive me and let us become again two,
And I hang my head, down to my knees,
And I ask you please tell me tell me
Chorus
You Don’t Get It
I’m singing and I’m playing to ya,
But you don’t even get it do ya,
So i’m not gonna play for you no more,
I came here with an understanding,
That you would help build something lasting,
But it’s just not worth fighting for,
Chorus
So take your tired old lines you’ve used on me and everyone before,
I have better things to do than listen to your same old talk,
I’m not ever gonna be someone that you can ignore
The lights go down in rubys bar room,
And I’m playin’ the last line of this new tune,
You don’t even know what’s here,
The house is full and the crowd adoring,
But earlier you said it as boring,
Well guess what babe, the jokes on you,
Chorus
Riding The Storm
Riding the storm is what I do best,
And I’ve got a story that I must confess,
I’ve made a mistake and I’ve done my time,
Now I need to find, find peace of mind,
So take down these notes on what not to do,
And I’ll be as honest, honest and true
Chorus
Cause all I’m tryin to do is find my way back home to you,
And I’ll be the singer,
A saint or a sinner,
When all I’m tryin to do is find my way back home to you
Seeing it rage, rage through my mind,
Watching the seasons changing with time,
Sometimes our choices are not the best,
But think of it all, all as a test,
The lessons we learn are not in vein,
So break down these walls and cut loose the chains,
Write down these notes on what not to do,
And I’ll be as honest, honest and true
Chorus
