Starting Over
Spent a lifetime
Finally found someone
Gave him all that I had
In love till the dream was gone
I was losing myself
Out in the darkness alone
But the night made me strong
And I learned to let go
Time mends a heart
You turn the page somehow
Oh, theres no looking back
The hurt is behind you now
Chorus:
Starting over again
From the second time around
Coming back to win
Starting over again
Take the first step
And let it begin
Starting over, starting over
Memories haunt you
Feelings you wont forget
Learn to live a lesson in love
Walk away without regrets
Well never deny
Feelings your heart demands
Ah, find your way out
Just when you reach the end
Starting over again
No ones gonna count you out
When the heat is on
Starting over again
Gotta come back and turn it around
Starting over
Take another look inside
Where you always have a fight
Never dream of giving up, never
No looking back
Chorus

Women do two thirds of the world's work. Yet they earn only one tenth of the world's income and own less than one percent of the world's property. They are among the poorest of the world's poor.

Four Letter 'Work' Song
Work me up, work me out, work me flip side down.
Work me here, work me there, work me with renown.
Work me hot, work me greedy,
work me through and through.
Work me to the very marrow,
work me just like I'd work you.
Work me proud, work me late,
work me do not hesitate.
Won't you let me work for you?
Work me til I'm black and blue.
Work me steady, work me needy, work me to a lather.
Work me til my backbone breaks, and the buzzards gather.
Work me in, work me under, work me til I bleed,
Work me over red hot coals, work me like a boss in need.
Work me nasty, work me silly, work me through the clover.
Up down, 'n' in between, into a slipknot sweet Jehovah.
Work me, work me, go ahead.
Work me, work me, til I'm dead.

Starting Today
(words & music by robertson)
Starting today
Im teaching my heart
Not to ache anymore
Just cause were apart
No more will I dream
Of your sweet loving ways
Gonna learn to forget you
Starting today
And when memories haunt me
And the tears starts to flow
Ill just think of the sorrow
You caused me to know
No more for the past
To return will I pray
Gonna live for tomorrow
Starting today

Starting To Heart
It's a long way down, but I feel alright
It's a long way down, but I feel alright
And the cops get in, and the crowd gets tight
Take your tomorrow, pain and your sorrow and teach it how to fly
It's starting to hurt
Starting to hurt
Starting to hurt
Starting to hurt
It's a long way down, but I feel alright
It's a long way down, but I feel alright
And I hope you're here, when I hit the ground
'Cause I'm high on forever, always together, and I'm coming down
It's starting to hurt
Starting to hurt

For my Loved
Starting today,
I will write for you
I'll pray for you
I'll do that for your recovery
I'll manage to offer
everything for you
Starting today,
I'll care more about you
I'll ask all the angels
and saints to be with you
in all your sufferings
Starting today,
I'll tell them that
I care a lot about you
and I'm willing
to give-up everything
just for you, my dear
So starting today
be able to hold on to
that hope in your heart
and cling to whatever joy
you can have
Don't hesitate
I'm just here for you
for you are special
here in my heart

It's All About To Change
(Travis Tritt)
What made you think I'd let you
Go on treatin' me this way
What made you think I'd let you run me down
I have tried to keep my cool
But I will not play your fool
And it's all about to change starting now
Girl, if you had your way, I'd be crying everyday
Happiness it one thing you would not allow
I have listened to your lies, you can't say I haven't tried
But, it's all about to change starting now
I once believed you cared for me, boy, was I ever wrong
Still you made me love you I still don't know how
It's a game that I can't win but I'll be damned if I give in
'Cause it's all about to change starting now
Repeat Chorus
Yeah, it's all about to change starting now

Should We
If i said yes would you run
I you said no would i run
We have lived loved lied and cheated
But still nothing is completed
If i say hi
If you say goodbye
Will that be the end
Or are we starting again
Have we changed
Are we the same
Do i still know you
Or is it i owe you
Do you still know me
Or do you owe me
Will we even get along
Do you remember our song
Though it has been a while
I never forgot your smile
Should we yes
Should we no
What now where do we go
I you say yes would i run
If i say no would you run
We were together so long we were like one
When we parted you felt like me dumb
I can feel your getting near
Have you come for the words you have longed to hear
Do you love me or i you
Are we starting over starting anew
Do you really want to see me do i you
Is this something we should or should not do
Bigger Picture
Im starting to see a bigger picture
Im beginning to colour it in
Im starting to see a bigger picture
Im beginning to colour it in
My soul the sky, my heart a sun
My mind a world - my only one
My thoughts the people, the world around
My dreams the kings - or the clowns
Im starting to see a bigger picture
Im beginning to colour it in
Im starting to see a bigger picture
Im beginning to colour it in
The continents and the seven oceans
Bound the range of my emotions
My time is long but not forever
My moods are the changing wind and weather
Im starting to see a bigger picture
Im beginning to colour it in
Im starting to see a bigger picture
Im beginning to colour it in
Colour it in !
Colour it in !

Starting All Over Again
Starting all over again is gonna be rough, so rough
But were gonna make it
Starting all over as friends is gonna be rough, on us
But we gotta face it
We lost what we had
Thats why it hurt so bad
It set us back a thousand years
Were gonna make it up
Though its gonna be rough
To erase all the hurt and tears
Starting all over again is gonna be hard
But I pray that the love will help us make it
Starting all over again is gonna be slow
But we both know that we can make it
We gotta take life as it comes
And never worry about whos right or wrong
Its an uphill climb
To the finish line
Were gonna try to make it
One more time
Starting all over again is gonna be rough, so rough
But were gonna make it
Starting all over as friends is gonna be tough, on us
But we gotta face it
Starting all over again is gonna be hard
But I pray that the love will help us make it
Starting all over again is gonna be slow
We both know that were gonna make it

Nashville
They dont know what they like so much about it
They just go for any shiny old bauble
But nobody sparkles like you
But I cant imagine it in better terms
Than naked, half-awake, about to shave and go to work
And Im starting to think it could happen to me like it did to you
And Im starting to actually feel it seep through the slick divide now
I dont crack the door too far for anyone whos pushing too hard on me
They dont know what they like so much about it maybe it goes on the other side of the hallway
The writings so small from here
But I cant imagine it in better terms
Than naked, half-awake, about to shave and go to work
I wont decorate my love
I wont decorate my love

Beautiful Feelings
Things get stuck in my head
And theyre taking me nowhere
And sometimes its hard
Just to find what you need
But lately Im feeling
Something goods come around
Cause she just takes me way up
And she wont let me down
And beautiful feelings are starting again
And all of my heartaches are starting to mend
And beautiful feelings are there til the end
So I open them up and I let them in
Well I needed to feel
That Im destined for something
And I need to get down on my knees
More and pray
And I need to feel a warm body near mine
When I wake in the morning
Suddenly to find
That beautiful feelings are starting again
And all of my heartaches are starting to mend
And beautiful feelings are there til the end
So I open them up and I let them in
I get feeling guilty
For climbing too high
Im looking for problems
That just dont apply
And beautiful feelings are starting again
And all of my heartaches are starting to mend
And beautiful feelings are there til the end
til beautiful feelings die

Work
Work is what we have to do
to put food on the table
we work for years and years
that is until we are unable.
We are asked at school
what we want to be?
I remember telling the teacher
that I want to play football for Coventry.
There's all types of work to do
like in an office or a building site
if your lucky you can do sport
be a Boxer and get paid to fight.
But most of us don't do that
and often we do jobs that we hate
like working in a horrible factory
starting early and finishing late.
But some workers love their jobs
and rarely ever miss a day
they enjoy being there so much
they'd probably work for no pay.
Work is a big part of life
so best do something you like
earn vast amounts of money
buy a flash car instead of a bike.
So be happy wherever you work
no matter what job that may be
but most of us want to retire early
that's why we keep on doing the lottery!

Payment
A tortuous path of neurons arced a call: ‘Awake! ’
I did; in rising, peering, stretching, bearing,
Pained anticipation saw it all:
Foretold, another filthy day.
I drew the drape: diluvian lay the ground
Beneath a lazy leaden cloud – apissing out
The puddles; irksome on the roof –
The drumming drops of bitter glee
Were hounding out a hapless me –
Reinforcing doubt that I am sound.
I left the house
to go to work
to earn a crust
without a perk
then on to bust
another straining vessel.
Trudging on thro’ mud and clay, I pondered:
‘Why a drought of happy times?
Auspicious climes were
Old and fusty books
Atop a dusty shelf
Inside a morgue-of-a-room,
Somewhere in a long-forgotten library
Down a lane without a way.’
I thought again: ‘And still I pay.’

Work, Sleep, Work, Sleep, Work
Work, sleep, work, sleep,
Work, sleep, work, sleep,
Work, sleep, work, sleep,
Work:
Work, sleep, work, sleep,
Work, sleep, work, sleep,
Work, sleep, work, sleep,
Work.
Oh free me please with gentle ease
From work, sleep, work, sleep, work!
This odium, pounding tedium
Of my work, sleep, work, sleep, work.
Just whisk me off to lands afar
From work, sleep, work, sleep, work -
That grinding train of rhythmic pain
Called ‘Work, sleep, work, sleep, work.’
Poor neural circuits fizzle and pop
In work, sleep, work, sleep, work,
In trying to make some sense of all this
Work, sleep, work, sleep, work.
But Hark! I see a golden gleam -
A saving spirit of hope:
‘You’re fired! ’ He screams. What news to bear,
This wondrous hangman’s rope!
So now I’m free, released from all this
Work, sleep, work, sleep, work -
Eternal peace and rest for me, no
Work, sleep, work, sleep, work.

Starting To Remember
(lebon, rhodes, cucurrullo)
How to begin?
Do I shed a skin
Now that I am starting to remember
It takes a while
But you find a way to open up the door
Let the demons walk
Now that I am starting to remember
Cant change my world
I was happy ever after
Was it only yesterday
I bought the dream
But I dont sleep no more
Counting the hours
Till the dawn
Now that I am starting to remember
How to love
How to learn
Draw like a child
Run for miles and miles
Now that I am starting to remember
Who I am
Another lonley night ahead for me now
Buried in the dakening day
That lingers on
And drags me down
But youve got to believe
Time will heal
