i am your home;

the heart to the
room where it's ok
to be you!

Daddys All Gone
Dont have much say
But I call you up anyway
Just to try and tell you the way
That I feel today
Oh I miss you baby
Sure Im on the road
I dont need to say much more
Im just the same old well known stranger
That I was before
Seems like yesterday now
Daddys all gone
Hes just halfway home
Hes holding on to the telephone
Saying please dont let the show go on
Theres a bus every other hour
Even a midnight train yeah
But that dont leave me the power to see your face again
Its not that simple anymore
Your see theres a room full of smiling faces
And theres a man standing by the door
Oh and he says its time we take our places
And get down on the floor
Oh Id like to kill him baby
Ah ah no now
Daddys all gone
Hes just halfway home
Hes holding on to the microphone
Singing please dont let the show go on

Heart Of Mine
Heart of mine be still,
You can play with fire but youll get the bill.
Dont let her know
Dont let her know that you love her.
Dont be a fool, dont be blind
Heart of mine.
Heart of mine go back home,
You got no reason to wander, you got no reason to roam.
Dont let her see
Dont let her see that you need her.
Dont put yourself over the line
Heart of mine.
Heart of mine go back where you been,
Itll only be trouble for you if you let her in.
Dont let her hear
Dont let her hear you want her.
Dont let her know shes so fine
Heart of mine.
Heart of mine you know that shell never be true,
Shell only give to others the love that shes gotten from you.
Dont let her know
Dont let her know where youre going.
Dont untie the ties that bind
Heart of mine.
Heart of mine so malicious and so full of guile,
Give you an inch and youll take a mile.
Dont let yourself fall dont let yourself stumble.
If you cant do the time, dont do the crime
Heart of mine.

Prospects
A train ride to tuesday
A platform far away
Scarlet shades of evening move clouds of grey
Awaking, arriving
The dirty station where
He passes crowds of people who dont see him there
Heres a desert island room
For a man whos cast away
Stranded in this home from home
>from his family
Far away
Home.
Well this is it
This is it
Is this my heart
I miss you with all my heart
This is not
Is this not
My home
One shoe-lace cardboard suitcase
One passport from the queen
One room for a light bulb
Where no-ones been
Sticks and stones, my old bones
Not like nineteen fifty-four
Then the liked me fine
But not anymore
This empty room
Where hes marooned
With nothing left to say
But in the dark
He thinks of home far away
Home.
Well this is it
This is it
Is this my heart
I miss you with all my heart
This is not
Is this not
My home
I feel cold, getting old
More than the climates changed
Stranded on this island
The rate of exchange
Heres a desert island room
For a man whos cast-away
Today he will not be at work
There is no work anyway
How is it when you feel it
Do you wonder what gets you down
Youre looking in the windows
When you walk this town

Walk Away
By marcy levy and richard feldman
You leave a trail of tears wherever you go.
One of us will hold you, the other one wont.
But I could never share your love or leave it behind.
Break his heart, not mine.
Do you remember tender moments we shared?
How could this true affection vanish into thin air?
Hes not worth the trouble, baby; hes just a waste of your time.
Oh, break his heart, not mine.
Dont you walk away,
You know youre gonna miss me.
Dont you walk away, walk away.
Youre gonna miss me,
Youre gonna miss my love.
So dont you walk away,
Dont you walk away, walk away.
Dont you walk away, walk away.
So Ill be waiting in the backroom, baby, when you kiss him goodbye.
Oh, break his heart not mine, but...
Chorus
Dont you walk away, walk away.
Oh dont you walk away.
I know youre gonna miss my love.
Dont you walk away, walk away.
Dont you walk away.
Youre gonna miss my love.
Dont you walk away, walk away.

Dont Drink The Water
Come out, come out, no use in hiding.
Come out, come out, can you not see
Theres no place here, what were you expecting?
No room for both, just room for me.
So you will lay your arms down,
Yes, I will call this home.
Away, away, you have been banished.
Your land is gone, and given to me.
And here I will spread my wings.
Yes, I will call this home.
Whats this you say, you feel a right to remain?
Then stay and I will bury you.
Whats that you say, your fathers spirit still lives in this place?
Well, I will silence you.
Heres the hitch, your horse is leaving.
Dont miss your boat, its leaving now.
And as you go I will spread my wings.
Yes, I will call this home.
I have no time to justify to you,
Fool, youre blind, move aside for me.
All I can say to you my new neighbor,
You must move on or I will bury you.
Now as I rest my feet by this fire
Those hands once warmed here, but I have retired them.
I can breathe my own air and I can sleep more soundly
Upon these poor souls,
Ill build heaven and call it home.
Cause youre all dead now.
I live with my justice
And I live with my greed in me
I live with no mercy
And I live with my frenzy feet
I live with my hatred
And I live with my jealousy
I live with the notion that I dont need anyone but me
Dont drink the water
Dont drink the water
Blood in the water
Dont drink the water

Step Inside
(clarke / hicks / nash)
Side, step inside.
You can knock on my door anytime youre passing by
You dont need an invitation, step inside.
Well have tea and crumpets toasted by the fireside.
You dont need an invitation, step inside.
Step inside my doorway. theres no admission fee at all.
If youre in the neighborhood, you only have to call.
Ill be glad to see you, it just cannot be denied.
Its been a long time since I held you, step inside.
Dont tell your mother about me.
Shell only get angry knowing youve come back.
What her heart cant see cant hurt her.
So take my hand and step inside, take my hand and step inside.
Dont tell your mother about me.
You know shell only get angry knowing youve come back.
What her heart cant see cant hurt her.
So take my hand and step inside, take my hand and step inside.
If it gets too late, I have a bed that you can use.
You dont need an invitation
If you feel the inclination
You just call on speculation.
Step inside.
Side, step inside.
Step inside.
Step inside.

Too Much Too Soon
Hey this bottles empty, you got 2 bucks?
Cmon, well buy a bottle
Alright, Im headin to the store and Im gonna buy smokes
Hot damn"
Every night, I go out and get in my car, oh yeah
I push on the peddle but you know I go too far
Therere parties everywhere that I can see
Usin myself will be the death of me
Ya see every night I get a call on the telephone
My sweet little baby beggin me just to come home
But I know that everyday I gotta have me some fun
With Suzy to the left and Sally to my right
I know that I need just more than one
Chorus
Said its too much too fast
I dont care if I wont last
Said its too much too soon
I dont care, get outta my room
Said its too much too fast
I dont care if I wont last
Said its too much too soon
I dont care, get outta my room
Lets go
When the night goes on and I seem to see some friends / Now a buck for the car for the gas goes so fast? / With friends like that tell me whos gonna last / Well the citys hot but tonight Im not / I want everything that everybodys got / Not a badge in the pan or a legend hand / Just give me one more, one last dance
Said its too much too fast
I dont care if I wont last
Said its too much too soon
I dont care, get outta my room
Said its too much too fast
I dont care if I wont last
Said its too much too soon
I dont care, get outta my room
Lets go
Take the car, take the keys
Said my money dont grow on trees
You make me stumble and fall
T'ill I'm bloody at my knees?
I climbed back up to find that all my money's gone
Too much too soon not know since its been so long?
You can drive me to the edge but I really dont mind
Ya see when Im in my car I leave you behind
Theres another girl thats waitin down the road
When Im out the door you know thats just where Ill go
Said its too much too fast
I dont care if I wont last
Said its too much too soon
I dont care, get outta my room
Said its too much too fast
I dont care if I wont last
Said its too much too soon
I dont care, get outta my room
Said its too much too fast

Its CraZzy
Its crazy how we met, its crazy how we ended up like this, Its crazy how I forgive you, Its crazy on how much I love you, Its crazy how I miss you after I take you home, Its crazy how I just wait for you to call my phone, Waiting for that special call that doesnt come, Its crazy how I dont realize that youve moved on, Its crazy how I still think your mine, Its crazy how Im still dieing inside, It tears my heart apart when Im not with you, Its crazy how I barely found out what we had wasnt true, Its crazy how I get tears in my eyes for just thinkin about you, I have a bunch of things I want to tell you, but all I can say for now I that I love you and Ill never forget the things you use to do.

Home Is Where The Heart Is
(gary rossington -- johnny vanzant -- hughie thomasson -- rickey medlocke)
Ive always lived my life like a gypsy
I cant imagine myself settlin down
So please dont ask me to give up this life I lead
cause I love to feel those wheels go round and round
(chorus)
I can see it inside
Its my heart that sees, not my eyes
And if you listen close Ill tell you why
Home is where the heart is
And my heart is at home with you
Theres a cold wind blowin and you know its almost midnight
You never dreamed it would be this hard lovin a music man
But this iron horse on which I ride Im closer its true
And its just as hard for me as it is for you
I can see it inside
Its my heart that sees not my eyes
And if you listen close Ill tell you why
Home is where the heart is
And my heart is at home with you
In my life Im always on the run
Livin one day at a time
Hold on a little longer
I dont know where Im gonna end up
Or where Ill go
I can see it inside
Its my heart that sees not my eyes
And if you listen close Ill tell you why
Home is where the heart is
And my heart is at home ...
I can see it inside
Its my heart that sees not my eyes
And if you listen close Ill tell you why
Home is where the heart is
And my heart is at home with you
Home is where the heart is
Oh ,my home is where my heart is
Oh, my home is where my heart is

If Youre Not The One
If youre not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If youre not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all
I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
Well make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
I dont want to run away but I cant take it, I dont understand
If Im not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
If I dont need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I dont need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If youre not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If youre not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?
I dont know why youre so far away
But I know that this much is true
Well make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in youre the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life
I dont want to run away but I cant take it, I dont understand
If Im not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
cause I love you, whether its wrong or right
And though I cant be with you tonight
And know my heart is by your side
I dont want to run away but I cant take it, I dont understand
If Im not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that i

A Beasts Poem
There is a pain inside
That Im forced to hide
There is this life I lead
That causes my heart to bleed
I always thought that less is more
Until this less lead me to walk out the door
I walked out on love
Walked out on fate
I looked away from whats above
I have with Death, a date
I dont know when
Nor do I know why
But until then
I cant help but cry
I have thrown it all away
Day after day
I wish I could die
I wish I could say
'I love you, be with me'
And never feel the hurt I caused
But it feels like my love has now been paused
Its time to go
To disappear
For why, I dont know
Im in love with you, my dear
You dont know how much
You dont know why
I miss your soft touch
I miss being there for you when you cry...
Miss Your Kiss
Well I miss you yeah, but I dont really miss your touch
Not too much
Send your love express, but I dont need it all that much
Not too much
You know its true, you know its true
I dont miss your fascinating conversation
And theres more room in the bed now that youre gone
Dont tell me I miss your smile, you know me baby
This is the real deal and you know just what Ive missed
You get my gist, the thing is this
Baby I miss your kiss (not joking)
The truth is this (you just cant miss)
I dont want to be fooling around (miss your kiss)
Baby I miss your kiss (trust me on this)
If I had my wish couldnt ask for more
Miss your kiss
Now when I get home if you still want to talk all night
Thats alright
And I want it known if you just want to turn out the light
I wont fight
Ill make love to you, make love to you... if you want to
You know baby anything goes
And Ill even get you breakfast in your bed
As long as I get my fix
You know it baby, Im missing the real thing
And you know just what that is
If I resist just slap my wrist
Baby I miss your kiss (not joking)
The truth is this (you just cant miss)
I dont want to be fooling around (miss your kiss)
Baby I miss your kiss (trust me on this)
If I had my wish couldnt ask for more
Miss your kiss
I know what I want, and what I dont have
What I wont give for your kiss
Nothing better, nothing better
If you hear me say yeah yeah
Thats the way I want it face to face

Call Of The Wild
I know her, and every notion I get from her I wear inside me.
I know her, all of the broken leaves of love she leaves behind.
Oh - dont you hide away from the rain.
Oh - can you tell me the name of this game?
I got to get thru to you.
Behind the door, another wall, a lonely cry a call of the wild.
A dancing daze, an empty face, a crystal high a call of the wild.
And there is something that sweeps the dark, a lovers dart,
The call of a broken heart.
Wrapped in the night, behind these eyes, oh hear the cry,
A call of the wild.
I know her and in my mind I dream of her, how she aches without me.
I know her and every heart is a lonely hunter when she walks by.
Oh - can you read the hurt in my eyes?
Oh - dont you leave without saying goodbye.
I got to get thru to you.
Behind the door, another wall...

Overtime
Sometimes the looks I get
From people that Ive never met
Its cruel
Poor hard done by you
Sometimes I hear remarks
Like hes a snake out in the grass
Its cruel
Poor hard done by you
Well I beat around the bush a lot
Dont let my feelings show
cause if I did Id surely hit the roof
Maybe if youd listened
Youdve known something was missing
What I say surely is the truth
Well Ive been working on this overtime
You might think that I dont care
But if you look inside this heart of mine
Youll still be there
Some lovers wont admit
That all the pieces just wont fit
Its cruel
Poor hard done by you
So tell me that Im blind
To let my heart go rule my mind
Its cruel
Poor hard done by you
Well Ive been working on this overtime
You might think that I dont care
But if you look inside this heart of mine
Youll still be there
Ive been working on this overtime
Whats been done I cant repair
But if you look inside this heart of mine
Youll still be there
My wanderlust betrayed your trust
Dont want forgiving
All things must change, it aint so strange
Lifes for the living
(baby baby please)
Ive been working on this overtime
You might think that I dont care
But if you look inside this heart of mine
Youll still be there
Ive been working on this overtime
Whats been done I cant repair
But if you look inside this heart of mine
Youll still be there
Ive been working on this overtime
You might think that I dont care
But if you look inside this heart of mine
Youll still be there
Poor hard done by you

Inside That Room
inside that room
clutters of old things
a conglomeration of dusts
silent stones
broken wedges
blunt shapes and sharp edges
inside that room
that silence we both shared
isolated moans
tongues lingering
inside that room
our memories
now the door is closed.
inside that room
the noise of insistence
the clap of a disaster
we disown
inside that room
the impregnation of tough thoughts
with soft laces
of ductile memories
inside that room
oh! there is no
us anymore.

Why Dont You Try Me
(e. young)
If your man has got you on the run why dont you try me ?
If you wanna have a little fun, oh baby, why dont you try me ?
If you tote more that you can bear, if your troubles been more than your share
And if things are not going just right why dont you try a man like me tonight ?
Why dont you try me tonight ?
Why dont you try me ?
Why dont you try me tonight ?
Why dont you try me ?
Last night while I was trying to sleep
I heard a racket from the room next door, hum
And that was you and your man havin a fight
Like youve done so many nights before
Woman, Ill turn you every which way but loose
Is what I heard him shout, uh-oh, look out!
So I jumped out of the bed and I opened the door
Just as you came runnin out
And I hollered: why dont you try me tonight ?
Why dont you try me ?
Why dont you try me tonight ?
Why dont you try me ?
I aint saying Im all that you need
And I wont tell you, honey, you will be free
But all night, well, I will keep trying
And when I say I want ya, girl, you know Im not lyin
You see a good woman out on the streets these days, friends
Ah, a bad old man cant be hard to find, no, no
Kind of man whod steal your heart
And call true love a crime
Thats why I keep asking ya, baby
Why dont you try me tonight ?
Do yourself a favor
Why dont you try me ?
Regular man aint treatin you right
Why dont you try a man like me tonight ?
Why dont you try me ?
Why dont you try a man like me tonight ?
Why dont you try me ?

Home Tonight
If this is paradise
Then I dont recognise
That subtle look thats in your eyes
And in the distance now
I hear your whispers, love
And see my dreams go fading by, by
Take me away
From this moment
I wanna shut the door
Im not taking anymore
Its me they want to give away
And I dont want to know
And I dont want to go
All I want is home tonight
All I want is home tonight
A love so precious now,
Lights me up inside
My darkest night could never hide
Elegant and divine
She wears a diamond smile
The girls perfection guaranteed
Dont take away
This moment from me
I wanna hold her close
Its her I want the most
Dont want to let her slip away.
And I dont want to know
And I dont want to go
All I want is home tonight
All I want is home tonight
All I want is home...
Tonight
And I dont want to know
And I dont want to go
And I dont want to know

Make No Mistake, She's Mine
Dont call her up, anymore
'Cause I dont wanna hear your voice
I dont wanna see your face answer her door.
Make no mistake, shes mine, she's mine.
She only knows how I feel
I only know what shes like when she needs me
Oh, how she needs me deep in the night
Make no mistake, shes mine, no, shes mine.
Dont get too close when you dance
'Cause I dont wanna hear from my friends
You were out on the town
With her in your arms.
Dont include her in your dreams
'Cause I dont wanna close my eyes
No, I dont wanna know where she goes
Each night when she leaves
Make no mistake, shes mine, no, shes mine.
Dont call her up, anymore...
