Boat Or Swim
dance
by the boatdeck the air gets so fair
i wash dishes you comb your hair
down the porthole shines a distant pier
kiss goodbye my town
fade through the bends of the middle-class code
words are rude and easy sold
and gestures hard to decode
as smiles are bound
Chorus intro
there goes the dizzy fever
got some valium
you better take it easy
so dangerous
CHORUS
cold enough X2
in my body
under my skin
all over the land
all the jokes
had come to an end again
heaten upX2
like a party
or so it seems
when pieces are set
all my jokes
had come to an end again
run
from drinking more
turpentine bowls
from the likes of the dirtiest lane
to the gates of the golden reign
I've made my day

Easy, Come On
Everybody called the lady easy
For the way the lady was to please
Everybody told her she was crazy
Lovin all that love away for free
People hate to see you make it easy
Theyll never understand
Some take life for granted
cause it seems to take so long
Easy takes it any way she can
Chorus:
Easy, come on, take it easy
Come on, here we go again
Let it go as easy as you can
Its the sweetest and the saddest place
A bodys ever been
Feelin easy come and go again
Instrumental break, and in the background:
.... easy
.... to please
.... she was crazy
.... and free
So lets take our time and make it easy
Bring that bottle from the shelf
Everybodys laughin when theres money, love and friends
When theyre gone the jokes are on yourself
Chorus:
Easy, come on, take it easy
Come on, here we go again
Let her down as easy as you can

Easy To Love You
By randy travis
Intro:
You were pure to me as fresh untraveled snow
Skin as soft as a petal, of an uncut rose
I gave you all I had everything I own
Right down to the pedestal, I put you on
And it was so easy to love you
So hard to walk away
Well this morning when I woke up
I knew everything had changed
But it aint so simple for a man
Whose whole world he has to rearrange
Chorus:
Said you found something in another
You just couldnt find in me
Baby I love you so much
But I guess Ill have to set you free
And it was so easy to love you
So hard to walk away
Ive been pleading with my maker
To ease this pain and take my pride
But it still feels like my hearts been
Laid open wide
My hands are shaking and I think
Of all I have to do
My life will never be the same
Not like it was with you
Repeat chorus:
Lord it was so easy to love you
So hard to walk away

Its Never Easy To Say Goodbye
Jimmy climbs on board that old yellow bus
It sure looks big in his little eyes
His mama waits as her tears kick up the dust
Its never easy to say goodbye
Julie ray in her pearl white wedding gown
Has found her wings and its time to fly
Its all her dad can do to keep from breakin? down
Its never easy to say goodbye
(chorus)
It aint easy
To ever say goodbye
It aint easy
Lettin? go of the ones you love
But believe me
Begin by and by
If not here
Than somewhere up above
Ive had some friends that I lost along the way
Theyve been called on down the line
Though their time was short, I think about them every day
And it aint easy to say goodbye
(repeat chorus)
Now the time has come to go our separate ways
And its all right if you want to cry
And though I know, well meet again someday
Its never easy to say goodbye

Never Said It Was Gonna Be Easy
Sometimes as I look backon the things I used to do
Rememberin' all the things I been through
I tell myself, should've known, as it seems we always do
But man, if I only knew
Chorus:
Never said it was gonna be easy
Days were long and the nights were neverending
Never said it was gonna be easy
But oh, I'd do it all again
People always told me, "You'd be better off in school"
Join the race, learn the golden rule
But music taught me so much more than I could ever sing
And man, I wouldn't change a thing
(Chorus)
So many nights I'd look to the sky
And wonder where I am
But nowhere in sight, I'm trying again
Tryin' with all my might ... never again
(Chorus)
Sometimes as I look back on the things I used to do
Rememberin' all the things I been through
I tell myself, should've known, it seems we always do
If I only knew
I'd do it all again

Mystery Man
Got a letter from a mystery man
But in between the lines - he doesn't understand
He's on a mission in Mozambique
The room is wired and I just can't speak
(chorus)
In the middle of it all - he can waste no time
In the middle of it all - he just says goodbye, goodbye
Got to get there just as fast I can
A pink carnation on a mystery man
A rendezvouz in Romania
Double agents in Australia

What A Life
(graham russell)
Love comes to everyone
Some are weak, some strong
I'm not strong today
They've took her back
Brought the curtain down
What can i do now
I'm afraid
I'm afraid to think about it
(chorus)
What a life
It gets better as it goes along
What a life
It gets better as it goes along
I've been in love
Been left standing
Till i say is that what i want
Oh no there's got to be another smile on my face
I don't care about the money i make
Or what it can do
I'm alive and that's what's important to me
I don't need someone to tell me you'll get along
Who to please, who to watch over me
(chorus)
(repeat)
There's an old man
Been calling me for a long time
Never able to get his face off my mind
He always said to me take it easy, take it easy
And all the things you want will come easy
Take it easy
What a life
What a life
(chorus 2x)
He always said to me take it easy, take it easy
And all the things you want will come easy
Take it easy
What a life
What a life

It's as Easy as 1,2,3
vs.1 You and I were together for a long time.
And now, each day, I cry.
The same ol' things happened each and every day,
But I think it's safe to say
(chorus)
No matter what you do or tell me,
Nothing's gonna get in the way
Of how I feel about you,
I'll speak freely if I may.
I just hope you feel
That all we had was real,
Because you can see, you and me..
It's as easy as 1,2,3.
It's hard not to think about all the fun we had.
And how we always laughed.
The tv, and all of those movies
Brought us closer, and you see
(chorus)
(instrumental)
Bridge: Yeah, I know we've been through some hard times,
Made some choices we kinda regret.
But we both know that you and I are meant to be,
Because we will never forget
The first day that we met..

Yeah, baby.. it's as easy as..1,2,3!

Dangerous Times
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
These are dangerous times
Nothing to care or die for
These are dangerous times
What you want, someone will buy for you
Dont get away
Its so easy to wait
Youve been wearing the green
Ive been wearing the fall
And you said that all was just agreed
(chorus)
Dont get away
Dont get away
I saw a guy out on the street
Said, I know what you need, boy
I can set you fine
I didnt buy his line, because
These are dangerous times
I dont want to get old
You say that everythings fine
Then you leave me standing in the cold
(repeat chorus)
Its so easy to fall
Youve been trying to gain
Ive been trying to stop
But its catching up with me again

Its a dangerous time
Dont get away (its a dangerous time)

Hard To Tell
Ive had enough, Im tired of waiting
The time has come to pass
Why do you do what you do to me
Why cant you say what you want to say
Is it not worth investigating

Why do you go if you wanna stay
How will I know what you mean to say
Undoubtedly Im all over you
(chorus)
Its not that easy baby
Its not that hard to tell
Its not that easy baby
Life is hell but Im doing fine.
Its hard to tell
Im not good at contemplating
The odds are it wont last
Why do you do what you do to me
When will I hear what I wanna hear
Been so long anticipating
You put me to the test
Why wont you say what you wanna say
How will I know if you mean to stay
Undeniably Im all over you

Heading somewhere elsewhere

And the sun will shine again, cause

Four Words From A Heartbreak
I've said
I won't cry anymore
What's the use of crying for
It doesn't change
The fact that love's a fragile thing
Like...
Monday
I was your everything
But Tuesday you had news to bring
You have to go
It's just the way somebody told me...
Chorus:
Your four words from a heartbreak (just four)
Four words from a mistake (just four)
Your four words from a heartbreak
He's leaving
It's over
Hey sorry
And goodbye
Maybe
All we have is now
Promises fade somehow
Don't tell me please
About the love we'll share tomorrow
Do you
Remember the plans we made
They're lying in the shallow grave
Next to all
The shattered dreams
Like someone told me
(Chorus)
Goodbye
Sorry
It's over
It's over
Goodbye
He's leaving
But the pain isn't over

Pickin Up The Pieces Again
I knew you were leaving,
The way you said goodbye.
Along with a feeling, somehow I will survive.
You dont need a reason,
When everythings changed.
Im lost in the shadows of a dream that we once made.
(CHORUS)
And how do I know its not too late to try?
And how do you feel, how do I know?
When all thats left in the end,
Were pickin up the pieces again.
Now loving without you aint easy to do,
Coz places remind me Im still in love with you.
Now Ive been thinking baby, maybe you can come my way.
But I know tomorrow, therell be nothing left to say.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Lonely, burning inside,
Cant you see Im hiding the pain.
Tell me baby, where did we go wrong?
Tell me we can try again.
(CHORUS)
But how do I know its not too late to try?
And how do you feel, how will I know?
When all thats left in the end,
Two lovers parting as friends,
Were pickin up the pieces again.

Holdin Out For Love
Had my share of disco nights
Did some talking, rainbow lights
Easy smile shines like gold
Burning hot and turning cold
Live that kind of life before
Lost the note to learn the score
Something tells me that
There must be something more
Chorus:
This time Im holdin out for love
Made up my mind
Im holdin out for love
Mister this time
Im holdin on, holdin back
Holdin out for love
Had my fill of party scenes
One night stands and neon dreams
Good times friends and fancy clothes
Flashing highs and crashing lows
So if thats whats on your mind
Well Ill just take a pass this time
I believe I rather leave it all behind

I need to find someone
Wholl still be holding me
When the dance is done

Verse Two: LaTocha
Even if I wanted, I can't leave you right now
Cause all is fair in love and war, and I like how we get down
Although I'm in love with what's going on
