I like to play the numbers
The numbers love to play me
We’re sailing in Tequilas
I just got to celebrate
Yeah yeah yeah..
I was six years old and feeling kinda bold
Find some shelter with the elders
I can be the master.....
Break out!
We’ve got to break this mould.
Do what we’re told NO More!
Eighteen! time to break the rules,
Takin’ back our dues
We’ll be your fools no more
It’s absolutely numbing
I’ve just turned 12 and humming
I’m barkin’ at the moon
and no one’s gonna stop me coming.
godamned volume’s at eleven
My chest collapsing from the drumming
Close your eyes and go to heaven
Easier said than done
Sounds like it looks, loud and ferocious
Count me in for your Electric Circus
Break out
We’ve got to break this mould.
Do what we’re told NO More!
Eighteen
Time to break the rules,
Takin’ back our dues
We’ll be your fools no more
Break out
We’ve got to break this mould.
Do what we’re told NO More!
Six and Six and Six - your score
Coiled up here, on the floor
You could take it to the limit
Yes you can.....yes you can,
We can take it to the limit,
We can take it to the limit

Tell me what you’re looking for,
I’m standing here and keeping score
Tonight.
Time was when we’d run the race,
Just because we’d love to chase...
The light.
I’m just lookin’ for some place to park.
Away from the neighbourhood nasty ole narc
Nothing personal,
Just a little Fentanyl,
Sets me free when I’m all tied up.
All tied up..
I can tell ya something,
Straight from the heart,
What you seeing here, in me is!
Baby, what you get
I ain’t here to set examples,
Roll your models,
That’s your moma’s job
I’m not blaming anybody
What I’ve got I’ve stolen from the mob
Ho ho, Hey,hey,hey.
I’m just lookin’ for some place to park.
Away from the neighbourhood nasty ole narc
Nothing personal,
Just a little Fentanyl,
Sets me free when I’m all tied up....
All tied up......
I’m just lookin’ for some place to park.
Away from the neighbourhood nasty ole narc

Better days

I’m lookin’ thru the many pages of a story,
A wonderful story
I hope you understand, it’s all exploratory
Ya kinda had to be there
Everything gets measured
in relation to some other time
I can find a million reasons why
Sometimes I long for days gone by
Sometimes I long for Better Days
‘f You can’t find a moment in your life that’s
worth remembering,
Woe is you baby
Sometimes the bad days serve to highlight the elation,
of the better days
Make a fashion statement with a smile.
Sometimes I long for days gone by
Sometimes I long for Better Days
It’s about perspective
and a basis for comparison
You gotta compare this
You gotta compare this
With the best you’ve got!
Nobody told me I could take it down
Nobody told me I could push it up
Sometimes I long for days gone by
Sometimes I long for Better Days
You never really get what you want from life
You can ride it like a horse - nervous and wild.
Better Days, please give me
Better days!
Better Days, please give me
I have come to understand
there’s nothing ever, set in stone!
The only truth in life is that
the angry dog will get the bone.
Compare this,
Better Days
Sometimes I long for days gone by
Sometimes I long for Better Days
Up, down, all around things will always come to better days

Don't stop me now

I’ve always wanted to visit New Orleans,
The Nightlife, the Music, The Cajun Scene....
Tell me the time and the date, man
‘tyou want to visit
Don’t stop me now
Baby....You’ve got to let me spread my wings
It’s been a long time ...you’ve been on my mind
I’ve finally gotten up , and I’m raisin’ the blinds
Lately, I’ve had a mind to be travelin' time,
It’s been a long time ...you’ve been on my mind
Nothin’ but Black Top,and a big sky horizon,
No one to explain to,
For the shit that one lies in
A cleansing of sorts that takes place while you’re driving.
I’ve been a scholar and a student of Jack Kerouac.
Baby....You’ve got to let me spread my wings
It’s been a long time ...you’ve been on my mind
I’ve finally gotten up , and I’m raisin’ the blinds
Lately, I’ve had a mind to be travelin' time,
It’s been a long time ...you’ve been on my mind
The road is the school of the masses.
Baby....You’ve got to let me spread my wings
It’s been a long time ...you’ve been on my mind
I’ve finally gotten up , and I’m raisin’ the blinds
Lately, I’ve had a mind to be travelin' time,
It’s been a long time ...you’ve been on my mind
Baby....You’ve got to let me spread my wings
It’s been a long time ...you’ve been on my mind
I’ve finally gotten up , and I’m raisin’ the blinds
Lately, I’ve had a mind to be travelin' time,
It’s been a long time ...you’ve been on my mind

True

Some take it hard
They like it blue
It’s always so, so sad,
But very true.
Some folks will lead you down a colourful path
with a promise of a life that’s true,
First time you set eyes on a woman of class
She just broke your heart in two.!
Try to remember, what you were thinkin’ about
when she stomped on your heart,
with her fourteen-inch heels,
You went down for the count
With a mountain of a doubt,
While your love - stood unrequited.
....Every word of it...
Every thought of it
Every moment was true
It was in early spring of nineteen-forty-two,
‘Often seen walkin' fifteenth avenue,
Eyes that looked through you
and scoured your soul.
She would break your heart in two.
....Every word of it...
Every thought of it
Every moment was true
Some thoughts will haunt you till you’re seventy-two
While you question why they linger with you.
Life’s opportunities, you might let them slip through,
Lest they break your heart in two.!
Some take it hard
They like it blue
It’s always so, so sad,
But very true.

Never look back

Hit the ground running on a Saturday night
I was barely seventeen
In a flicker of light
Tossed into the frenzy of a terrible fight
And then - Out went the lights
Eerie & stunning,
She was nimble and cunning,
Seductive a swagger with eyes like a dagger
that stab at your soul, ‘ Reached out to touch her
And then - Out went the lights!
I never look back, It’s all screwed up
Don’t nobody try to look me up,
It’s all in the past, It’s a ship that has since set sail
I’m the captain aboard
I’m dead-on the track, I’m all cued-up,
Don’t nobody try to hook me up
I’m comin in fast, with the weight of a killer-whale,
I’m the chair of the board
I got a ten dollar bill in my pocket,
till the day after tomorrow,
I got the wind in my back,
A bottle of “Jack”,
And a tell-tale five-O’clock shadow
I never look back, It’s all screwed up
Don’t nobody try to look me up,
It’s all in the past, It’s a ship that has since set sail
I’m the captain aboard
I’m dead-on the track, I’m all cued-up,
Don’t nobody try to hook me up
I’m comin in fast, with the weight of a killer-whale,
I’m the chair of the board
I never look back, It’s all screwed up
Don’t nobody try to look me up,
It’s all in the past, It’s a ship that has since set sail
I’m the captain aboard
I’m dead-on the track, I’m all cued-up,
Don’t nobody try to hook me up
I’m comin in fast, with the weight of a killer-whale,
I’m the chair of the board

I have to tell ya now,
Without any hesitation,
How all this came to pass.....
The woman was wasted.....
Without any means.
Her lover had left her,
Black and blue, inside and out.
The sirens were wailing,
Her daughter was crying,
She saw her life sailing... far away
into the past
I don’t want to lose myself,
My love’s been rewarded,
Slapped down on the shelf.
I’m not taking what you’re slingin’
Anymore, with acceptance,
For the pain that you’ve caused.
The shiner came to pass,
The broken arm too.
Your sado behaviour,
Is all I ever knew
Your pressure is mounting,
I know you’re coming back for more,
This time I’m prepared, with a bat for your balls and a ‘’run’’
The sirens were wailing,
Her daughter was crying,
She saw her life sailing... far away
into the past
I don’t want to lose myself,
My love’s been rewarded,Slapped down on the shelf.
I’m not taking what you’re slingin’
Anymore, with acceptance,
For the pain that you’ve caused.

Slapped down on the shelf.

I can’t find a reason why
I need to say thank-you to a tax-collector
I just told a little white lie,
I’m sitting here looking at a lie detector
I don't know what da hell’s the crime.
I’ve got a real problem with the public sector
I can’t see where I’ve crossed the line,
the man in the cruiser seems to have the answer
I’m wanted, I’m not so desired ya know
In case you were wondering
Running, I’m running, I’m not quite so stunning ya know ! It’s nice to be wanted
I’ve always wanted to be with you
No matter what you might say or do.
ya never gave me the time of day,
ya never even tossed a gaze my way
Catch you sometime, on the other side
Wanted, I’m wanted, I’m not so desired ya know
In case you were wondering
Running, I’m running, I’m not quite so stunning ya know ! It’s nice to be wanted
Love... that’s what we all wanted ! You never thought you might,! long for someone’s desire
Time, time, time, is looking at you!
ya never gave me the time of day,
From the ocean so blue,
Check out the mirror as it’s staring at you! ya never gave me the time of day,

Be the best, to make things happen
There's no time for hesitation here!
Wisen up, you’re in the fast lane,
Don't let anybody interfere
Look around, see all the ‘’mothers’’
Chew you up and spit you out,
just to take your place
Make a move, it's now or never
Don't you know that this is just a race!
We’re running hot, We’re running blind,
We’re trying hard to find a sign,
A little something to show us we’re human
There’s no time for bleeding hearts nor place for any empathy,
Pity’s for the weak you know, and victory comes from strength
Take your chance, There’s nothing left to lose here
The finish line is yours to cross right now!
Despite the competition, the many runners close behind,
all feel your hunger for the line,
One last breath and baby,
I said, One last breath and baby, that’s the race
We’re running hot, We’re running blind
We’re running wild, We cross the line
Attesting to the fact that we’re all human
There you are, now you're the leader
Aren't you glad you put your pain away
You know, you were always better
No one dared to have a word to say
Chewed 'em up, don't talk about it
Sometimes you just have to push the pace
lose your confidence, and you know, you could blow
'Cause you know you still are in the Race
We’re running days, we’re running nights
The lights are shining good and bright,
We’re standing on the podium,
Everything here, just feels right,
It’s good to be part of the human race.
