Infatuation
He gazes deep into her eyes.
But what he sees is not the truth,
the lady is well versed in lies
and he is but a callow youth.
She’s played the game of love before
but he poor fool is innocent
Prepared to worship and adore.
quite unaware of her intent.
She will accept the gifts he buys
and lead him on with promises.
Just as she’s done to other guys
Then he will find to his surprise.
His cash has gone and so has she
A lesson learned expensively.

Nobody ever.....
In his youth, his callow empty youth
his eyes were misty.
He learnt about sex from Cindy,
but nobody ever, no, nobody ever,
taught him how to love.
In his youth, his callow empty youth
his pockets were full.
He drank, he smoked, he learned to use a gun
but they never, no, nobody ever
taught him how to have fun.
In his youth, his callow empty youth
his wits were sharp.
He learnt to duck and dive and to deceive
but they never, no, nobody ever
taught him what it is to really live.

But God Is Love!
A life of sin is all too short
The comes the great surprise
When God receives the true report
But cannot close His eyes
“But God is love” so oft we cry
“His love is here to stay
It’s not God’s will for us to die
No matter what you say”
Yes God is Love, and longs to give
Eternal life to all
But only those in Christ; will live
Who heed Salvation’s call
We just can’t fool with God above
And think we won’t get burnt
For God is Fire as well as love
This lesson must be learned
In truth we come, but oft return
To where we were before
Although we’ve heard one day we’ll burn
Once God has closed the door..Gen.7: 16
Some think it lies, God’s not that cruel..Gen.7: 21
To make a place like hell..Rev.20: 14-15
But Satan’s out to cheat and fool..1Pe.5: 8
And all; means you as well
So take good care of how you live
Best learn the Lord to fear
Not every sin will God forgive..Mt.12: 31
The bible says quite clear..1Jn.5: 16
Yes God is love, yet God is not
A God to disobey
Remember well the wife of Lot..Gen.19: 26
The price she had to pay.

A Poisoned Chalice (a sonnet)
Please don't pretend to apologise!
Wipe those crocodile tears from your eyes!
You spread your legs for those other guys
And I'm just the one that you despise!
It's me that's the victim of your lies
And you're so innocent, surprise, surprise! !
You've led me quite a merry dance
And looking back I didn't stand a chance,
You must have thought that I was blind
Being 'so sensitive and kind'.
I was a fool in my infatuation
And, no doubt, I deserve this humiliation,
Hoping, of course, you'll rot in hell
And all your faithless lovers as well! !

You just don't want to be judged bad in their eyes
You don't intent to be friendly
You don't mean to chat a long
You just don't want to look ugly in their eyes

You don't mean to do all the orders
You just don't want to be considered a threat in their eyes

You don't mean to follow the rules
You just don't want to be seen indifferent in their eyes
You don't intent to be kind
You don't mean to give a help
You just don't want to raise suspiciousness in their eyes
You don't intent to be generous
You don't mean to be involved in any relation
You just don't want to be outsider in their eyes
You don't intent to be honest
You don't mean to tell the truth
You just don't want to be the one who should be responsible in their eyes
You don't intent to be forgiving
You don't mean to forget every mistake
You just don't want to be called cruel in their eyes

Love Song
The words I have to say
May well be simple but theyre true
Until you give your love
Theres nothing more that we can do
Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No-one can offer you more
You know what I mean
Have your eyes really seen?
You say you find it hard
To lead the life that we once knew
But theres no other way
So now its really up to you
Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must learn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
You say you find it hard
To lead the life that we once knew
But theres no other way
So now its really up to you
Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must learn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

Just I've Learned The Game!
Not again,
Not once again,
No one again,
Can make me tear for love
once again,
I'm not the same girl
To cry a bloody tears
When the love is gone,
Just I grew up
and learned
The game of the love,
The love is a game
When it ends
I walk again,
This how it works
Just i've learned the game,
Not poor and pale tears
To cry again,
My tears found an end,
I'm not the same,
Just i've learned the game,
I'm just not the same,
The poor girl to give a life
After ending love,
Just i've got it well
No one deserves the pain of heart,
The one who really loves me
Stays by my side.
And when he is gone,
That means the game is done.
The lake of tears can't bring the gone,
I can't beg you to stay
When you're gone,
Just I grew up
And i've learned the game of love.
When it's gone
The game is done,

Love In Disguise
Sometimes things fall apart
That's god's love in disguise
And when i break your heart
That's my love in disguise
When you awake in pain
It should come as no surprise
I'm not sure i care
But it still must be there
My love in disguise
And all you want are sweet lies
I see my problem now
Her love was in disguise
Some fear that won't allow
Her love to shed this guise
Ian, don't be a fool
Look what she's done
She'll do it again
Pale, pure, and virgin things
So frail, it turns from my eyes
It hides while i become
So hurt my heart is numb
When love is in disguise
The best you have is sweet lies
Ian she'll be our downfall
Don't believe your eyes
Lies! and she'll leave you all alone
Possessiveness and jealousy
We recognize easily
That which we claim to prize
No one can recognize
The poor young sap is unaware of
Things that we are all aware of
The knife she hides behind her back
Misery! he gets his share of
The flowers must pollinate
The beasts are forced to mate
Woman and man decide
Yet we're not satisfied
God's love is in disguise
And all we want are sweet lies
Sweet lies
Long live the glorious revolution

Victim Of The Game
Well, it took a little time
But I guess you finally learned
That promises get broken
And bridges do get burned
Youve been siftin through the ashes
Just tryin to find a flame
Holdin on to nothin
Youre a victim of the game.
You were standin way too close
To see it all fall apart
And there were things you couldnt hear
cause you were listenin with your heart
But you cant say I didnt warn you
Now theres no one else to blame
Theres on one quite as blind
As a victim of the game.
(chorus)
And it dont matter who you are
It treats everyone the same
All you needs a heart
To be a victim of the game.
You know its really gettin to you
When you take to tellin lies
And you can try to fool your friends
But yo cant look em in the eye
There aint no standin tall
In the shadow of the shame
When everybody knows
That youre a victim of the game.

Oh, you know, when I look into your eyes
I can really feel the pain
Starin in the mirror
At a victim of the game

If Love Aint There
(johnny burke)
Better face the facts, ol buddy,
And be prepared to take the blow.
You dont have to sit and study,
Its something anyone should know.
Shake hands... get your hat...
And go.
You can praise her eyes,
And adore her hair.
But if love aint there,
It aint there.
And you can walk her home
In the warm spring air,
But if love aint there,
It aint there.
And you can look
With a longing in your look,
And try every method in the book
And worship the smile that kind of
Took you unaware.
And you can weep and sigh,
You can say, unfair.
You can almost die of despair.
But if love aint there,
It aint there.

Live To Tell (Live)
I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall
A man can tell a thousand lies
Ive learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell the secrets I have learned, till then
It will burn inside of me
I know where beauty lives
Ive seen it once I know the warmth she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines inside, you cant take that from me
A man can tell a thousand lies
Ive learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell the secrets I have learned, till then
It will burn inside of me
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell the secrets I knew then
Will I ever have a chance again ?
If I ran away, Id never have the strength to go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart ?
Will it grow cold the secrets that I hide ? Will I grow old ?
How would they hear ? They would they learn ?
How would they know ?
A man can tell a thousand lies
Ive learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell the secrets I have learned, till then
It will burn inside of me
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell the secrets I knew then
Will I ever have a chance again ?
A man can tell a thousand lies
Ive learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell the secrets I have learned, till then
It will burn inside of me

Find Another Fool
I should have learned this lesson long ago
That friends and lovers always come and go
And now you claim
that everything's "O.K.", but I've got just one thing to say...
Why don't you...
Find another (find another)
Find another fool to love you
Find another (find another)
Find another fool to love you
Find another...find another...find another fool...to love you
To love you...find another.....
I don't believe that I deserve this ride
Youtook me for my very heart and pride
You let me down...and now your hand is out
Well, here's some...spare change...you can count
Repeat Chorus
You pulled this once...you pulled it twice
It's time you listened to my advice....oh, baby
I'd never take advantage of our love
I can't imagine what you're thinkin' of
You're over due...you think this storm is through..
Well, baby, I've got news for you

The Truth Within
Fons et origo boni ple luxque perenis
Salvificet pietas tua nos bone rector, eleison
The golden wine flows through my veins
I know the meaning behind the holy words
A lesson must be learned - so listen all
Let your heart rule or we all must fall
We cry out for help, a prayer for your soul
When you will know the end is near,
you will faster crawl
The whole body withdraws with the pain of birth
And once again I know the true meaning of life
Once again I know that looking through their eyes
... As they came with their love...
I know the truth of life and it lies before my eyes
The truth lies within you know
The truth lies within the holy words

True Love Endures
True love endures when passion dies.
This should not come as a surprise,
it is a lesson all must learn
at their own pace each in their turn.
True love endures.
In time we learn to recognise
the honest truth from the half lies
and find the love for which we yearn.
True love endures.
There is no room for compromise
The truth is written in the eyes.
What you receive is what you earn
After the flames of passion burn
away the half truths and the lies.
True love endures.

The Bigger The Fool
(jim rushing/larry cordle)
Her long legs looked like trouble
As she sasheyed through the door
And my mind flashed a warning sign
That i chose to ignore
For the prize i thought i could win
The risk seemed mighty small
The bigger the fool the harder the fall
Fell in love in the heat of passion
Oh, but passion has it's price
Under all that beauty
Beat a heart that was made of ice
God knows as far as i could see she didn't have a flaw
But the bigger the fool the harder the fall
I said a woman to keep
The softer the skin
The sweeter the love
The more bitter the end
Well, one lesson i've learned that applies to all
The bigger the fool the harder the fall
One day she was lovin' me
The next day she was gone
And i became another verse
To a lonesome heartbreak song
Now that i've learned to face the truth
The words stick in my craw
Well, the bigger the fool the harder the fall
I said a woman to keep
The softer the skin
The sweeter the love
The more bitter the end
Well, one lesson i've learned that applies to all
The bigger the fool the harder the fall
The bigger the fool the harder the fall

Ladies Of The Road
A flower ladys daughter
As sweet as holy water
Said: Im the school reporter
Please teach me, well I taught her.
Two fingered levId sister
Said, peace, I stopped I kissed her.
Said, Im a male resister,
I smiled and just unzipped her.
High diving chinese trender
Black hair and black suspender
Said, please me no surrender
Just love to feel your fender.
All of you know that the girls of the road
Are like apples you stole in your youth.
All of you know that the girls of the road
Been around but are versed in the truth.
Stone-headed frisco spacer
Ate all the meat I gave her
Said would I like to taste hers
And even craved the flavour
Like marron-glaced fish bones
Oh lady hit the road!
All of you know that the girls of the road
Are like apples you stole in your youth.
All of you know that the girls of the road
Been around but are versed in the truth.

No Way To Treat A Lady
(bryan adams/jim vallance)
Producer for bonnie: jim steinman
You can please me
You can sweet talk and lead me on
But believe me
Wont be long till Im catching on
Now you left me here with nothing
And you put my love on hold
Well there must be something behind those eyes
Because I believe every lie you told
That aint no way to treat a lady
That aint no way to treat a woman in love
That aint no way to treat a lady
I could of sworn that youd had enough
So you leave me
Well Im lonely and in despair,
It intrigues me
How you dont really seem to care
Well I aint here for nothing
And my love doesnt come that cheap
I will hold you to all your promises
If I could find one you meant to keen
That aint no way to treat a lady
That aint no way to treat a woman in love
That aint no way to treat a lady
That aint no way, no way to treat a woman in love
You can tease me
You can sweet talk and lead me on
But believe me
Wont be long till Im catching on
For I aint here for nothing
And my love doesnt come that cheap
And I will hold you to all your promises
If I could find one you meant to keep

Truth and Lies
Is the truth beyond our lies,
Say what you want,
Watch what you say,
For our hidden lies, we must pay.
In the darkness of the night,
In the brightness of the day,
Truth and lies have gone astray.
Does your truth contain a lie?
Black as coal, the midnight sky.
Truth will shine,
It is the light,
To tell the truth,
With a soul so bright.
Is truth defined just in the mind?
In the Prince of Darkenss lies defined.
Love of the truth will scorn the Devil,
Our truth must stay at our highest level.
Of these shortcomings,
Are we aware?
That we speak of lies so unaware!
Every lie turns the truth aside,
Our secret truths, we sometimes hide.

Here I Am To Worship
Light of the world
You stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes let mesee
Beauty that made this heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You
Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me
King of all days
O so highly exalted
Glorious in Heaven above
Humbly You came to the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor
I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon the cross
...Worship You
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I worship You for who You are
I worship You
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I worship You for who You are
