A Nasty Story
Reaching out for the frozen liberty of toast,
He felt no hunger linger in his belly,
Several days had passed since he made his boast
After seeing his girlfriend dancing on the telly.
He longed to kiss her rowanberry lips
(Bereft of reason and the truth of ships)
But now he realized it was too late,
His iron principles dissolving into jelly.
He'd always wanted to impress the girl
And make her think that he was cool as f**k _
He fantasized - his mind was in a whirl -
But however hard he'd tried he'd had no luck.
One day he grabbed her by the arm
And said 'You're driving me quite mad! '
So she replied, not thinking any harm,
'Let's go back home and we can go to bed.'
He stabbed her several times in either breast
As she lay there believing he was true:
He emphasized he'd laid her soul to rest
But why he did it no-one had a clue.

There was a young girl called Jelly,
She liked to watch the telly,
She did no harm,
Owned a potato farm,
And then wound up with a very big belly.

Kickin It With Your Girlfriend
I've been kickin it with your girlfriend (oh)
What am i gonna do (oh)
Cuz God knows that i really didn't mean to hurt you (oh ooh)
I know its bogus, but i felt that you should know the truth (oh ooh)
I fell in love with her the moment we were introduced
And i just feel that its time for little secret to end
Baby im kickin it with your girlfriend
oh oh ooh oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh oh (2x)
Go on and slap me again cuz i can understand how you feel
When a man takes you for granted and he don't keep it real
I should have been more man and told you a long time ago
Instead of stuntin i should have broke it down and let you know
Girl my fault for that, don't know whats on my mind
And i blame myself for wasting your time
Believe i really tried to keep that girl away from me
But her body language kept on temptin and teasin me
And plus she knew what she was doin, and did it anyway
I knew what she was doin too and that made it ok
Truth is, is that we don't even regret it
Up out the closet i will be the first to say it
I've been kickin it with your girlfriend (oh)
What am i gonna do (oh)
Cuz God knows that i really didn't mean to hurt you (oh ooh)
I know its bogus, but i felt that you should know the truth (oh ooh)
I fell in love with her the moment we were introduced
And i just feel that its time for little secret to end
Baby im kickin it with your girlfriend
oh oh ooh oh oh oh oh ooh
Now I apologize for me and her and everything that went down
These are the reasons that some girls don't bring their friends around
I just didn't know how to tell you, that i was feeling her
And how we would get away sometimes with makin love
I never wanted to mislead you
At first i just wanted to please you
I know its hard for you to be able to trust again
Cuz i came between you and your best friend
I did not ask for this
It just happened out of no where every since the day we kissed
and the truth is, is that we don't even regret it
Up out the closet i will be the first to say it
I've been kickin it with your girlfriend (oh)
What am i gonna do (oh)
Cuz God knows that i really didn't mean to hurt you (oh ooh)
I know its bogus, but i felt that you should know the truth (oh ooh)
I fell in love with her the moment we were introduced
And i just feel that its time for little secret to end
Baby im kickin it with your girlfriend (oh)
I'm sorry again (i never meant to hurt you)
I'm sorry agian (but girl i love her)
I'm sorry again (i never meant to make you cry no)
Now im up out the closet
I've been kickin it with your girlfriend (oh)
What am i gonna do (oh)
Cuz God knows that i really didn't mean to hurt you (oh ooh)
I know its bogus, but i felt that you should know the truth (oh ooh)
I fell in love with her the moment we were introduced
And i just feel that its time for little secret to end
Baby im kickin it with your girlfriend (YEAH!)

I Just Wanted to Kiss You.
I just wanted to kiss you
To show you my love
That burns like sulphur
Within my heart
I just wanted to kiss you
To show you
That I am yours forever
And you are mine
I just wanted to kiss you
To placate our long friendship
To cement our union
There and then
I just wanted to kiss you
And touch your lovely chicks
I wanted to caress you
And feel your body
I just wanted to kiss you
And feel your tongue in my mouth
And mine in yours
The warmth
I just wanted to kiss you
To feel the tenderness
Of your soft lips
Against mine
I just wanted to kiss you
Because it felt right
It felt like the time to do so
It just felt right
I just wanted to kiss you
And put my loving arms around you
And feel your heartbeat
In a warm embrace
I just wanted to kiss you
To kiss you and kiss you
Because my lips were burning with desire
I just wanted to kiss you

Reminiscing
Friday night it was late
I was walking you home
We got down to the gate
And I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right
How to tell you girl
I want to build my world around you
Tell you that it's true
I wanna make you understand
I'm talking about a life time plan
That's the way it began
We were hand in hand
Glen Miller's Band was better than before
We yelled and screamed for more
And the porter too
Made us dance across the room
It ended it all too soon
And on the way back home
I promise you, you'll never be alone
Hurry don't be late
I can hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park and reminiscing
Friday night it was late
I was walking you home
We got down to the gate
And I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right
Now as the years roll on
Each time we hear our favorite song
The memories come along
Older times we're missing
Spending the hours reminiscing
Hurry don't be late
I can hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park and reminiscing
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park and reminiscing
You should be dancing
Dancing
Dancing
Dancing
And reminiscing

You Seem So Swell There Mister
You seem so swell there mister in your brand new motor car
And you wish to let the World know of how wonderful you are
You show your blond the scenery and you drive her up and down
With your car stereo blaring through the wide streets of the town.
You may impress some people but you do not impress me
I look at you driving your car and only arrogance I see
You want us all to notice and I have taken note
That smug smirk you wear on your face tell me of one who gloat.
For your obvious trappings of wealth you I do not begrudge
But by the way you flaunt your assets you ask me to be your judge
Driving through the leafy suburb with your car stereo blaring loud
You do like to be noticed and you do seem rather proud.
With your girlfriend there beside you a big smile on her face
A rather lovely looker and her curves in the right place
She helps to feed your ego and make a man of you
But with you will she linger and does she love you true?
You seem so swell there mister with your girlfriend and new car
You want all of us to notice of just how marvellous you are
With your car stereo blaring loudly you may yet learn from father time
That on too much self adulation some young men spend their fleeting prime.

I'm not an Ape Man
'Mankind has descended from monkeys'
I heard on the telly last week;
The scientists say that it's certain,
I say that I think they've a cheek.
Just because our design is so similar
To monkeys and apes and baboons;
I don't reckon those chimps in the advert'
Have a clue what to do with those spoons.
I'm not fooled by their lovable antics,
And the 'smiles' that play on their lips;
It's an insult to dress them like humans,
And force them to drink P.G. tips.
We sit them in front of a mirror
Like a schoolmaster would do a dunce,
Then say: 'yes they've got self awareness'
If they do not attack it at once.
If it's true we're descended from monkeys
Why is it there's some of them left,
Why is it there's still some evolving
And the world isn't monkey bereft?
No, my mind is made up on the matter,
And it wasn't made up in a tree;
Let the scientist say what he wants to,
But he won't make a monkey of me!

All Out Of Love
(graham russell, clive davis)
Im lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know you hurt too but what else can we do
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile in my heart
For times when my life seems so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesnt really know, doesnt really know
(chorus)
Im all out of love, Im so lost without you
I know you were right, believing for so long
Im all out of love, what am I without you
I cant be too late to say I was so wrong
I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from these long, lonely nights
Im reaching for you, are you feeling it too?
Does the feeling seem oh, so right?
And what would you say if I called on you now
And said that I cant hold on?
Theres no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or Ill be gone, Ill be gone
(chorus)
Ooh, what are you thinking of
What are you thinking of
What are you thinking of
What are you thinking of
(repeat chorus)

Cool
It's hard to remember how it felt before
Now I found the love of my life
Passes things, get more comfortable
Everything is going right
And after all the obstacles
It's good to see you now with someone else
And it's such a miracle that you and me are still good friends
After all that we've been through
I know we're cool
I know we're cool
We used to think it was impossible
Now you call me by my new last name
Memories seem like so long ago
Time always kills the pain
Remember Harbor Boulevard
The dreaming days where the mess was made
Look how all the kids have grown, oh
We have changed but we're still the same
After all that we've been through
I know we're cool
I know we're cool
Yeah, I know we're cool
And I'll be happy for you
If you can be happy for me
Circles and triangles
And now we're hanging out with your new girlfriend
So far from where we've been
I know we're cool
I know we're cool
C-cool, I know we're cool
I know we're cool

You Were Right Girl
Its hard to say how long its been, but once upon a time
You were my best friend, Im sorry I hurt you but I loved him, loved him
You said Id get hurt in the end, you tried to warn me with good advice
Instead of listening, I paid the price, yes I did, you told me back then
You said hell love you, leave you, you said his heart was cold as ice
And you were right girl, yes, he played me for a fool, (you were right girl)
Hmm, it all came true, (you were right girl), I know
I should have known it all along, (you were right girl)
Yes, you were right and I was wrong, I thought you blamed him for your mistakes
That all your put downs were just sour grapes, you told me back then
That theyll be lyin, cryin and it wont be his heart that breaks
And ooh, (you were right girl) you were right girl
He played me for a fool, (you were right girl) oh
It all came true, you were (you were right girl) right girl
Yes, I should have known it all along (you were right girl)
You were right girl, you were right and I was wrong
Oh, what made me think that I was different from you
That I could make him do what he wouldnt do for you
Now you told me back then Id never change him, change him
But hed change me before hes through, and ooh (you were right girl)
You were right girl, he played me for a fool, he really did
(you were right girl) well, it all came true, (you were right girl)
You were so right, I should have known it all along (you were right girl)
Oh, yes, you were right and I was wrong, oh, (you were right girl)
He really played me for a fool, (you were right girl)
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, it all came true (you were right girl)
Yeah, (you were right girl) you were right girl
I should have known it all along, (you were righ girl)
You were right girlfriend, you were right and I was wrong, woo, woo, woo
(you were right girl) you were right my girl, (you were right girl)
You were right my girl, he played me for a great big fool

I Never Wanted
I created myself to be on my own
But I didn't expect to be alone
Did you create yourself to be on your own?
These are the reasons things should be unknown
The days won't let you know
Days won't let you know
That all I never wanted was to be there with you
All I ever wanted to know anywhere with you
No one creates themselves unless they try to
Shut up the caution that made them lie to
All this talk but no one will tell me
Where and when I need to go
The days won't let you know
Days won't let you know
That all I never wanted was to be there with you
All I ever wanted to know anywhere with you
There is no reason, there is no reason, there is no reason
For that now
There is no reason, there is no reason, there is no reason
For that
All I never wanted was to be there with you
All I ever wanted to know anywhere with you
(It's with you so)
All I never wanted was to be there with you
All I ever wanted to know anywhere
Ever wanted to know anywhere with you

One True Darling I Do Implore
How much I longed for her to be different
but still through the ages it stayed true
that no girl was heaven sent
and to the ways of love there was nothing new,
while a boy and girl each other met it was the same
and like all others they did kiss and kiss,
while being for a time in bliss, believing no other was like this
and who is to blame when suddenly the parting came?
Helen smiled in sheer loveliness,
while the man that swept her away was somewhat reckless
and one true darling I do implore,
but probably will wait forevermore.

Funk You
Girlfriend hey how you doing
The night is still young
but something is brewing
Girlfriend fancy a lager
Or would you prefer a pina colada
Girlfriend I don't wanna be your boyfriend
I don't need another best friend
All I wanna do is
All I wanna do is
Funk you
Girlfriend don't be upset now
I'm out on the pull
you're the first girl I've met now
Girlfriend don't be offended
No harm is done and no harm intended
Girlfriend I don't wanna be your boyfriend
I don't need another best friend
All I wanna do is
All I wanna do is
Funk you
Girlfriend don't be a dreamer
Your head is a mess but I ain't your cleaner
Girlfriend cut to the chase now
Look in my face is it back to my place now
Girlfriend I don't wanna be your boyfriend
I don't need another best friend

Promises To Be Broken
You go anywhere but I follow
You are cautious and very slow
Of course it can neither be denied
Nor in any situation be laid
You sounded well with optimism
You were afraid of criticism
That kept you behind the steel wall
Impregnable and quite tall
You were idol and inspiration
Grown out of sentiments and relation
Quite different from rest of category
I felt it as precious gift from almighty
I longed for your association
It was never to be materialized even in isolation
You were like distant dream and impossibility
Beyond anybody's reach and probability
You preferred infant stage and childhood
That had nothing to bother about neighborhood
You wanted truth to prevail all the times
It was absolutely suiting me all the times
You promised me to be on line
Keep each word that may confine
Not to deviate from hearts border
Whatever is the outcome for maximum to offer?
I am unsure of her promises
She may not follow it and miss
But she is true to her words
I can always think of her honesty and look forward
She is different from entire womenfolk
Prefers dignity, honor and less to talk
Such things drive me crazy and force to think
I must swim together or sink
She may be forced to alter her thinking
May be the only course open to her from sinking
Yet she has glory in her approach
I have reason to follow her and believe as such

Secret
Rushing up on you like a freak in the fast lane
I'm on a mission to whip you into a hurricane
And when I overtake I'm gonna be in pole position
yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Are you ready for the change
If I let you stay, If I let you play
Will you lose or win
You can't kiss and tell
Will you pass it or fail
Let the games begin
Here's my secret
I'm a girl who likes her fun
And if you can keep it
Then you just might be the one
To come and party baby
But don't be misunderstood
I'll be cool, would you be cool
I wonder if I take you home
Major should explore the physical
But don't confuse emotions with the pleasure principle
Just let me take a ride
And educate the corners of your mind
Yeah yeah yeah
RAP:
Buckle up baby feel my speed
Take it from zero to sixty
Driving so hot like a criminal
The chase is irresistable
Gonna twist you round and manipulate
Whatch you hyperventilate
That's just the way I get my kicks
So take it in baby, deal with it
Here's my secret
I'm a girl who likes her fun
And if you can keep it
Then you just might be the one
To come and party baby
But don't be misunderstood
I'll be cool, would you be cool
I wonder if I take you home
Here's my secret
You can keep it (keep it)
Party baby (don't be misunderstood)
I'll be cool, would you be cool
I wonder if I take you home
RAP:
Buckle up baby feel my speed
Better not blink or you'll miss me
Driving you hard subliminal
Cause you're so irresistable
Let me pump you up with adrenaline
Get your headspace into a spin
Cause that's the way I get my kicks
So take it in baby, deal with it
Here's my secret
I'm a girl who likes her fun
And if you can keep it
Then you just might be the one
To come and party baby
But don't be misunderstood
I'll be cool, would you be cool

Tiger By The Tail
What a shock it was so surprising
You looked so small and frail
I didnt know what to do
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
People said that you must be joking
You let emotions run away with you
I realized a little too late
I bit off more than I could chew
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
Sometimes you grip it right
And sometimes you fail
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
At times life can be so enlightening
But it can turn on you
Lately it gets so complicated i
I dont know what the tiger will do
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
Sometimes you grip it right
And sometimes you fail
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
Sometimes you grip it right
And sometimes you fail
I grabbed the tiger by the tail

Late Nights
Stiff neck
Aching body
wet eyes
Can't sleep
Only thing
One her mind
Is her
She's always up
Late at night
Writing poems about her girlfriend
Some sweet some bitter
Wondering about their future
Regreting her past
Thinking about the times she's hurt her
and how all this could have been prevented if
She never would have grabbed her hand at that carnival

Kiss me goodbye
One kiss,
One note,
It all ends today,
You and me weren't right began with,
You and me never talk,
Just kiss me goodbye cause I am out that door,
I won't take you back,
It too little too late for your sorry's,
I can't bare to stand there watch you pass by,
Its my turn to end this once and for all,
You make me worry about,
Wondering why haven't you called nor write nor text me,
Kiss me goodbye,
Cause I am no longer your girl,
I belong to the one I love,
Your kiss was poisoness,
That kiss made me want you,
But now things changed,
You and me are through,
Tough luck for you to find another girl like me,
So just kiss me goodbye and let me be free to be with the one I love.

All That You Have Is Your Soul
Oh my mama told me
cause she say she learned the hard way
Say she wanna spare the children
She say dont give or sell your soul away
cause all that you have is your soul
Dont be tempted by the shiny apple
Dont you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
cause all that you have is your soul
I was a pretty young girl once
I had dreams I had high hopes
I married a man he stole my heart away
He gave his love but what a high price I paid
And all that you have is your soul
Why was I such a young fool
Thought Id make history
Making babies was the best I could do
Thought Id made something that could be mine forever
Found out the hard way one cant possess another
And all that you have is your soul
I thought thought that I could find a way
To beat the system
To make a deal and have no debts to pay
Id take it all take it all Id run away
Me for myself first class and first rate
But all that you have is your soul
Here I am waiting for a better day
A second chance
A little luck to come my way
A hope to dream a hope that I can sleep again
And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands
cause all that you have is your soul
All that you have
All that you have
All that you have
Is your soul

Our Guessing Game
Walking in the sand
Thinking of things, adventures in my mind
Tall ships that sail
Across the ocean wide
They wont wait for me
See the way they glide away so gracefully
And with tomorrow what will become of me
They leave me so much to explain
Thats the start of our guessing game
There are times when I think Ive found the truth
There are times when I know that Im wrong
And the days when I try to hide my fears
Bless the days when Im feeling strong
Bless the days when Im feeling strong
Wonder why we try so hard
Wonder why we try at all
You wonder why the world is turning around
When in the end it wont matter at all
Standing in the town
Looking at people, counting their frowns
Unhappy faces, hurrying around
So blind they cannot see
All of these things
The way life ought to be
And with tomorrow what will they make of me
It leaves me so much to explain
Thats the start of our guessing game
There are times when I think Ive found the truth
There are times when I know that Im wrong
And the days when I try to hide my fears
Bless the days when Im feeling strong
There are times when I think Ive found the truth
There are times when I know that Im wrong
And the days when I try to hide my fears
Bless the days when Im feeling strong
There are times when I think Ive found the truth

Full truth
What we know may not be full truth
As there lies no proof
Yet we believe in great principles
Fully grabbed by teachers and disciples
No one has reached that stage
And possible one may know after reaching the age
It may be too late to come and realize
Yet it must console self and oblige
Why birth and rebirth arguments come to the fore?
It has never been discussed this before
We are not aware of its true philosophy
It is secret weapon of almighty
The day you may come to know
You will discard the world and go
To seek the refuge from holy soul
Then there won’t be fear for any foul
It is not seeking salvation
It has not link or relation
It is purely getting rid of bondage
Then rewrite the experience on new page
