I still feel like I'm trying to make it. It's hard to shed the struggling actor thing.

Behind the Scenes
The actor struts his little hour,
Between the limelight and the band;
The public feel the actor's power,
Yet nothing do they understand
Of all the touches here and there
That make or mar the actor's part,
They never see, beneath the glare,
The artist striving after art.
To them it seems a labour slight
Where nought of study intervenes;
You see it in another light
When once you've been behind the scenes.
For though the actor at his best
Is, like a poet, born not made,
He still must study with a zest
And practise hard to learn his trade.
So, whether on the actor's form
The stately robes of Hamlet sit,
Or as Macbeth he rave and storm,
Or plays burlesque to please the pit,
'Tis each and all a work of art,
That constant care and practice means --
The actor who creates a part
Has done his work behind the scenes.

A lot of my friends are struggling musicians. Being a struggling actor, it's just frustrating because you're not allowed to do what you want to do.

Looking back, I don't feel I had a choice. For a fat, struggling kid like me, the only way out was to be someone else - an actor.

Movin In
We know its hard for you to see
That this is all we want to be
A constant urge within us grows
To do the thing that we propose
We tried so hard to make the grade
By making music day to day
Although our task is never done
You ought to know its just begun
And now its time for us to say
But most of all we like to play
A song or two that makes you feel
Like all the good in you is real
Together now weve lots to hear
To warm my heart to shed a tear
So come and listen if you choose
And feel a joy youll never lose
So everybody listen
Yeah
Everybody please give a listen

Keep Your Head
(vs.1)
The day seems so very long
But Im trying to be strong
(trying to be strong)
Well, hold on, I say
Things will soon turn my way
And then Ill have a clear view
But I gotta keep
(chorus)
Keep your head to the sky
I dont need to tell you why
Keep your head to the sky
I dont need to tell you why
(vs.2)
I sometimes get worried
And I wonder why I worry
Cause I know that I will make it through the storm
Im tryin not to lose my cool
Because if in this world I do
The only person thats gonna miss out on everything is me
And I gotta keep
(chorus)
Oooh, ooh
Oh, ooh, oh
Keep your head up
Dont you look down for nobody
Dont you do it, dont you do it
Keep your head
(chorus)
Everydays a struggle
But struggling to be
Is very hard, so very hard
Because Im out here trying to do the right thing
And when I look around heres the wrong thing
Tempting me to make me disagree
About how I feel about me
But I gotta keep
(chorus)

I mean, its hard to be an actor in the city - trying to make it as an actor - because you waitress all night, you get home really late and you're super tired and your feet hurt.

I'm foremost an actor. I feel embarrassed being compared to the guys who really work at it. I fake it, I make believe I know all about it, which is what you're supposed to do as an actor.

Nobody Else
I fade to black I turn to grey
When ever you have gone away
I can't decide what I should eat
Without you I am incomplete
When you're back I have to say
CHORUS
When I'm sick and tired
You make me well
Any little thing
You do I can tell
You make me feel
Like nobody else
Like nobody else
Hold my breath till I turn blue
I try to think of things to do
Try so hard to watch t.v.
It always ends up watching me
Dying to see you
Chorus
Ohh, like nobody else
Nobody else, No-Oh No-Oh
Nobody else
I fade to black I turn to grey
Whenever you have gone away
When you cry it hurts like hell
And if you die I kill myself
CHORUS
Yeah, Oh, Yeah
When you make me feel bad
Any little thing on my mind
You do I can tell
You make me feel like...
Nobody else
Like nobody else...
Nobody make me feel like you do
Makes me feel like you do
Makes me feel like you do
Makes me feel...
Yeah, nobody else
Nobody makes me feel
Nobody makes me feel

I'm all right I feel real light
I don't live a life that's uptight
Where there's fight there's struggling
I can't walk through the world
Without offering questions
What's my direction
Breakin' the grip of depression
There comes a day when you let THINGS go
There comes a time to a rock show
You know the time that you feel
THAT nothing else really matters
You're on the spot in the world
AND you belong
That's where I am when the lights going down
I'll find a way to make some fun
I know that there is a link of energy
To someone
How do you feel?
Cuz I couldn't ask for
A single thing more
How do you feel?
The moment you know
Just what you are for
I'm on a quest with a vision
I've got love and tradition
I wear a mask that grins and laughs
I remember what I've done
I'm a vibe under the sun
I penetrate all dimensions
I've come again
Rejuvenate within
I'm future animation
I feel the fuel rushing through my veins
It's a burning flame
You could take on the world
It's all in your brain
How do you feel?
Cuz I couldn't ask for
A single thing more
How do you feel?
The moment you know
Just what you are for
(bridge)
How do you feel?
Cuz I couldn't ask for
A single thing more
How do you feel?
The moment you know
Just what you are for
How do you feel?
Cuz I couldn't ask for
A single thing more
How do you feel?
The moment you know
Just what you are for

When I Feel Your Pain
I FEEL YOUR PAIN
COMING THROUGH THE PHONE
I FEEL YOUR PAIN
WHEN YOUR HOME ALONE
I FEEL YOUR PAIN
WHAN I STARE
I FEEL YOUR PAIN AND I SHED A TEAR
WHEN I THINK OF WHAT YOUR GOING THROUGH
THE ONLY THING I CAN REALLY DO
IS LOOK YOU IN THE EYES AND SAY
YOU KNOW I'LL ALWAYS LOVE Y OU
I FEEL YOUR PAIN
DAY BY DAY
I FEEL YOUR PAIN
AND I SHED AWAY
I FEEL YOUR PAIN
MORE AND MORE
I FEEL YOUR PAIN
WHEN YOU WALK OUT THE DOOR
WHEN I THINK OF YOU AND ME
I FEEL YOU PAIN RUNNING THROUGH
ITS RUNNING THROUGH MY BODY SHARP AND DEEP
BUT I KNOW YOU CAN'T BE BEET
I FEEL YOUR PAIN
WHEN YOUR HOME ALONE
I FEEL YOUR PAIN
COMING THROUGH THE PHONE
I FEEL YOUR PAIN
WHEN I STARE
I FEEL YOUR PAIN
AND I SHED A TEAR

Hard Liner
Hard liner, she brings ice when I bring fire.
Shes a hard liner.
Tightrope cross niagara
Shed cut the wire
Never feel a thing.
Walked the sidewalk of another strange avenue.
Kicked my heels and wished my feet were in some other shoes.
But Im not running from that hard liner.
Well she brings ice when I bring fire.
Shes a real hard liner.
How does she retain my hearts desire?
Its a funny thing.
Knows what she wants, knows how to get it, too.
Scares me with cold logic, scares me with the witchs brew.
But I keep on drinking.
Hard liner.
Hard liner.
Im framed and Im hanging on the wall.
Shes a hard liner.
Im like some big game trophy hat-stand in the hall.
But I remember warm and loving nights.
Her [red? ] hair, restaurants,
Swaying bust, headlights
Its a funny thing.
Hard liner.
Yeah, she brings ice when I bring fire.
Hard liner.
Tightrope cross niagara, dont cut my wire.
Hard liner, hard, hard liner.
She brings sun when I bring rain.
Shes a real hard liner.
Yeah, weve got it all crossed up again.
Hard liner. hard liner.
Now I dont think we can stay in the same town.

The Shearers Work Hard
The shearers work hard for a living for them never an easy pay
In shearing sheds in the warm weather they work through the heat of the day
At the end of a long shearing Season their backs from constant bending do ache
They work in the evening till nightfall they start shortly after daybreak
The shearers are children of shearers the trade one might say handed down
They enjoy their beer at the weekend in the pub of the nearest bush town
They do seem to enjoy the hard life we make our life choices some say
From shearing shed to shearing shed in the big Country from home they work quite a long way
Some daughters of shearers become shearers one might say they've got shearing in the blood
But it must be a hard way for a woman for to have to earn a livelihood
Yet top women shearers are good at shearing for their shearing feats they are well known
Even with the best of the male shearers they have been known to hold their own
The shearers work hard for a living for them never an easy pay
In the shearing shed they feel hot and sweaty in the sunshine of a humid day.

How Does It Make You Feel
I am feeling very warm right now
Please dont disappear
I am spacing out with you
You are the most beautiful entity that Ive ever dreamed of
At night I will protect you in your dreams
I will be your angel
You worry so much about not having enough time together
It makes no difference to me
I would be happy with just one minute in your arms
Lets have an extended play together
Youre telling me that we live to far to love each other
But your love can stretch further than you and I can see
So how does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?
Do you know when you look at me
It is a salvation
Ive been waiting for you so long
I can drive on that road forever
I wish you could exist to live on my planet
Well its very hard for me to say these things in your presence
So how does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?
So how does it make you feel?
Well,i really think you should quit smoking

Safe
Sweet thing
I know how strong that I appear
But you dont know the days
Since someone loved me
I stopped bleading
You came
And led me through that door again
You say you wanna stay
But you dont know me (no you dont know)
You make me feel safe
Someday
My darkest fears will find their way
After all
Somebody loves me (loves me, loves me)
All day
My heart tells strangers how I feel
And its hard not to feel this way
When you thought your future was on prescription
(baby)
You make me feel safe
You make me feel safe

The only thing we don't do together is get in front of an actor and show any indecision at all about what we think. We don't always agree, so we meet privately, then one or the other will approach the actor.

Actor Of Love
Hold on
I have found something I longing for
To fill the hollowness of my heart
But why I'm feeling more of sorrow
Before
I am the one who said: 'Oh, I'll control'
But now I realize you are my world
And it's waiting to break apart
I'm an actor of love
I'm trying to perfect
But I'm just fooling around
I'm an actor of love
I want to be your hero
But I've made myself a clown
I'm an actor of love
I need you by my side
But now you leave me alone
I'm an actor of love
I beg your forgiveness
But you refuse me so cold
Sometimes
We wonder why we should be together
Do we really dream of love forever?
Or we afraid to be alone
I'm an actor of love
I want to protect you
But I always hurt you bad
I'm an actor of love
I want to be your shield
But may turn someone you hate
I'm an actor of love
We kiss in the morning
But in night we have a war
I'm an actor of love
We care for each other
But we only circle round
If this love only makes me crazy
Take the story and just let it be
Tragedy or comedy
Or anything it wants to be

Somebody Knows
Out of my head and delighted, somebody knows how I feel
If you ask me to play it, you wont have to say it twice
cause Im goin to the head of the line, Im takin my life away
Im so glad you made it, and now that youre ready
Ill begin to tell you what you want, but I know
(I feel, I feel) somebody knows, (I feel, I feel) somebody knows
(I feel, I feel) somebody knows, (I feel, I feel)
Somebody knows what you want and what youre tryin to do
cause the same thing can happen to you
A little smoke, a little drink, can make somebody start to think
That he knows
(I feel, I feel) somebody knows (I feel, I feel)
Somebody knows what you want, when you want it
(somebody knows) when youre doin it right
Somebody sees with their feelings, and feels what theyre being tonight
And were doin it together, I know
(I feel, I feel) somebody knows, (I feel, I feel) somebody knows
(I feel, I feel) somebody knows, (I feel, I feel) God I know
(I feel, I feel) somebody knows, (I feel) I feel somebody knows
(I feel, I feel) somebody knows, (I feel, I feel)
Got what you want on the run now, keep it on in sight
Make me crazy, and you wont need me to tell you that youre doin it right
cause I know
(I feel, I feel) somebody knows, (I feel) I feel somebody knows
(I feel, I feel) somebody knows (I feel, I feel)
