To Be Somebody
it is nice to be somebody
like that great man
but it is too sad
too harsh and annihilating
to lose myself just to be somebody
now i like being nobody
it is me and there is no other
i can sit
and just be alone gazing at all of them
panicking
to be that great somebody.
i smile. i am cool. i am myself
and you still love me.

Great Fire
Great fire burning
You supplied the spark
Fores burning spreading through the ark
Animals are panicking
Im animal and panicking
Your glance a match on the tinderwood
You never spoke but I understood
Bring water
Eyes bring water
Chorus: great fire burning through
Great fire burning through my house
Great fire burning through my house and heart
Great fire burning
All because of you
Fires burning spreading through the zoo
Animals are panicking
Im animal and panicking
No round of drinks can extinguish this
Feeling of love and engulfing bliss
Bring water
Eyes bring water
Chorus
Ive been in love before
But its never been as hot as this
Smoke curling round the door
Memories of old loves crack and blister
Mister fireman bet you couldnt put me out if you tried
Your glance a match on the tinderwood
You never spoke but I understood
Bring water
Eyes bring water
Chorus

Another Song Of A Fool
This great purple butterfly,
In the prison of my hands,
Has a learning in his eye
Not a poor fool understands.
Once he lived a schoolmaster
With a stark, denying look;
A string of scholars went in fear
Of his great birch and his great book.
Like the clangour of a bell,
Sweet and harsh, harsh and sweet.
That is how he learnt so well
To take the roses for his meat.

Why Not You Be My Boo Too?
You came my way,
And I loved it.
You wish with me to stay,
And I love it.
Why not,
You be my boo too?
Forever.
You came my way.
That was cool.
And I love it.
You wish with me to stay.
And it is cool.
Since we love it.
So why not,
You be my boo too?
Forever and ever.
Why not,
You be my boo too?
We communicate great.
Yes we do.
We share and appreciate.
Yes we do.
We are quick to eliminate,
Offensive tension.
Nor is it mentioned,
To retain a defense.
So why not,
You be my boo too?
Forever and ever.
You came my way.
That was cool.
And I love it.
You wish with me to stay.
And it is cool.
Since we love it.
We communicate great.
And that's appreciated.
So why not,
You be my boo too?
Forever and ever.
This relationship is one with benefits,
And we can't lose.
You've got to feel it.
This relationship is one with benefits,
With a love that rules.
I know I feel it.
This relationship is one with benefits,
With a love that rules.
So why not,
You be my boo too?
You've gotta feel it.
To know it's real.
So why not,
You be my boo too?

Australia is so cool that it's hard to even know where to start describing it. The beaches are beautiful; so is the weather. Not too crowded. Great food, great music, really nice people. It must be a lot like Los Angeles was many years ago.

Standing In The Hallway
(d. peterson/s. hoffs/v. peterson/d. kahne)
Debbi
Standing in the hallway
Trouble coming my way
He called me on the telephone
Guess Im gonna be alone
Where did our love go, where did it go
Love is such a puzzle
In this great big world
Im good to you but youre bad to me
Gotta try to lose, gotta try, gotta lose
This misery
Tried to do it your way
You wouldnt meet me halfway there
You used to say you loved me
Now you just sit and stare
Where did our love go, where did it go
Love is such a pain
In this great big world
Im good to you, but youre bad to me
Gotta try to lose, gotta try, gotta lose
This misery
If you wanna keep me here
You better try to make it clear
cause Im halfway out the door
I cant take it anymore
Where did our love go, where did it go
Love is such a gamble
In this great big world
Im good to you, but youre bad to me
Gotta try to lose, gotta try, gotta lose
This misery

I Better Be Good
If I ain't cool
My daddy gonna send me
To Military School
If I ain't nice
My girlie gonna freeze me
With cold shoulder ice
If I'm real late
My teacher gonna use me
For alligator bait
So, I better be good
I better be good
If I jump on the gas
The cops are gonna jump
All over my back
If I smoke too much
Doctor says he's gonna
Put my lungs in a crutch
If I'm caught without my pants
Consuelo's dad is gonna shoot
Until he sees me dance
So, I better be good
I had better be good
You better be nice
You better be nice
You better be nice
You better be nice
Nice, nice, nice - you better be
Nice, nice, nice - you better be
Nice, nice, nice - Uh, uh, uh, uh
Nice, nice, nice
Nice, nice, nice
Nice, nice, nice
You better be nice tonight
If I spray it on the seat
Lady gonna tie a big knot
In the meat
If I spewey too fast
Lover's gonna stick
My Wrangler in a cast
If zipper grabs skin
I'll know I had it out
When I shoulda kept it in
Ow.
I better be good
I better be good
I better be good
Ooh.
You better be nice
You better be nice
You better be nice
You better be nice
Nice, nice, nice - you better be
Nice, nice, nice - you better be
Nice, nice, nice - Uh, uh, uh, uh
Nice, nice, nice
I'd better be nice tonight - yeah
Nice, nice, nice
Nice, nice, nice
Nice, nice, nice

Smile, smile, you know you thrill me
Cross your heart and hope to die
You know I'd love to

I wanna see you open wide
And when I go down for you
I wanna blow your mind
You and I oh oh
Shine, shine
Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love
You comes like an answered prayer
Praise God, try to love try to oh

And when I go down for you
I wanna blow your mind

My Bad
It's the ignorance of youth
It's the fear of growing old
It's the universal truth you're never told
Know that it's my fault, know that it's my bad
Couldn't accept love I've never had
It's to learn from your mistakes
It's to be the bigger man
It's to always try to do the best ya...
Cool rises up from underneath it when you're down
It rises, all your enemies, never ever know, unless you let it show
Oh yeah...yeah...oh...yeah...ah, ya ya ya
Cause it's my bad, it's my bad, it's my...bad
Cool rises up from underneath it when you're down
It rises, all your enemies, never ever know, unless you let it show
Or until I lose it all, until I lose it all, until I lose it all,
Until I lose it, yeah
Til I lose it, until I lose it
I love you all, it's your choice
Cool rises up from underneath it when you're down
It rises, all your enemies, never ever know, unless you let it show
Or until I lose it all, until I lose it all, until I lose it all, til I lose it, yeah
Til I lose it
Til I lose it
I love you all

You could name the great stars of the silent screen who were finished; the great directors gone; the great title writers who were washed up. But remember this, as long as you live: the producers didn't lose a man. They all made the switch. That's where the great talent is.

On Ice
My mighty press is on ice,
Open to sky, high and low
My flowers and plants are nice,
Theirs is a joining of row.
Lose him, lose her, and him,
Let inner nature be judgement;
Inner beauty is crass a limb,
From it is a great detriment.

You Were Great, How Was I?
(j. farrar/t. snow)
Ill never learn
I cling to the past
I find so much there to lean on
But when I get lucky
I can even forget
Our now and forevers are gone
I know what you mean
I go there myself
When I feel the mood coming on
It comes on so easy
Its hard to believe
Our now and forevers are gone
When did we lose our starry eyes
The feelings too strong to compromise
Something went wrong between hello and goodbye
Now its too late
Love you were great, how was i?
Im doing my best with somebody else
Its good to feel counted upon
It keeps me from sliding to where I forget
Our now and forevers are gone
When did we lose our starry eyes
The feelings too strong to compromise
Something went wrong between hello and goodbye
Now its too late
Love you were great, how was i?
Tell me now,tell me now,tell me now
Oh now its too late
Love you were great, how was i?
Love you were great,great, how was i?

Secret
Secrets are good,
Secrets are bad,
I have a secret,
It may make you sad.
Secrets deep,
Secrets shallow,
It may be hard,
To swallow.
Secrets heavy,
Secrets light,
This is to be told,
At night.
Secrets kept,
Secrets told,
This secret,
Is very old.
Secrets of love,
Secrets of hate,
This secret,
Is great.
Secret love,
Secret hate,
My secret,
Is who,
I love.
A guy so sweet,
A guy so great.
A guy so fun,
A guy so nice.
This guy is different,
This guy is a dove.
This is the guy,
Who I love.
Different is great,
Different is sweet,
No one knows us,
So it's great.
This guy is lonely,
This guy is friendless.
I like him,
And he likes me.
No one talks to him,
No one talks to me.
We are the same,
We are different.
He doesn't know,
That I love him,
Cause he knows,
We're the same.
I've no love,
He's caught a dove.
He's had no love,
He taught me how to catch a dove.
He's tall and smart,
He's sweet and friendly,
He's nice and fun,
He's the sun.
I have a secret,
One that's free like a dove,
I have a secret,
That's all about love...

How Great
Like a mother mine was delighted she gave birth
It feels as great as we felt coming to live on earth
Great as we thought it was when joining school
Highly respectable as we perceived our graduation
with great love of money for love and infatuation
Much as we thought money made people great
Then the job made great impact on love perception
We were held higher by those thinking we were great
Our mind made us take a great pride in education
With little regards to the good great book we forgot
For great eloquence in language for communication
For great crowds of ladies and gentlemen we fought
The more lovers one has, the easier it was to feel great
How great was the lavish and satisfaction
How great the diversity and the depth we experienced
How great the comfort to feel the hardness and softness
How great on earth does it taste fornication?
How great when we fear not for our Godlessness
How great when we die is going to be our tribulation?

Hello
Hello hello, its great to see you once again
Its been so long,
We were such friends,
Long time ago
Hello hello, your smiling face
Your warm embrace,
Weve been apart,
Far too long,
It felt so wrong
Nice to know, youre coming over
Nice to know, the wait is over
Hello hello, is that a smile on your face
Heres a kiss,
Just in case,
This ones for you
Hello hello, its great to see you once again
Its been so long,
We were such friends,
Long long time ago

Crushing On You
Every time I see you
You make me wish I can tell you that I like you, but
I can't because I'm afraid of rejection and
My heart will feel like a broken glass
You're cute, funny, amazing and cool
I can't get you out of my mind
You make me go crazy
I can't go a day without you
Every time I see you
You take my breath away
Now I told you that I like you because
I can't hide from you anymore, but
You say that you don't like me
You're great, nice, and awesome person
I rather just be alone
If I know I can't have you
Every time I see you
You make me go crazy
After I told you that I like you again
You say that I'm not your type
Now you break my heart even more and
You're everything I have picture
Why can't you just admit that you're holding back on yourself and you want me
You're afraid that you get made fun of and you need to learn to trust your heart
Every time I see you
You take my breath away
Now I told you that I like you because
I can't hide from you anymore, but
You say you don't like me
You're great, nice, and awesome person
I rather just be alone
If I know I can't have you
Every time I see you
You make me smile
Now we can never be together
I need to learn to accept your decision
I know it going to be hard to see you everyday
You're a cute, funny, and alright
Why can't I just get over you and
Move on to someone else
Every time I see you
I feel like I'm going to faith
I need to not have feelings for you anymore
I can still talk and laugh with you, but
I can't kept falling for you because it going to kept getting harder to get over you
You're an amazing, cool, and fun person
I finally realized it just a waste of time to get you to be with me
So I hope to find someone else one day and forget you
Crushing on you

Home, Sweet Home.....
There is no place like home in this world
Home sweet home where I always live so happily
A light from the sky seems to bless us there
and God's love is spread all over there
How happy when you sit with loved ones
and to see their faces full of love smile
How nice to sit near our parents and great parents
and listen to their old stories that bring us lessons too
Our garden full of greenery and the flowers are
bloomed to give us pleasure
All those birds on the trees singing gaily
to give us a peace of mind
Our pets run freely in and out of the house
and keep us busy to watch their naughtiness
When I look at the mountains in their great splendor
that blows with cool breeze that give us healthy life
Our neighbors are dear and so helpful without fear
An exile from home, bring nothing but sadness
Because home is sweet home.

Come On Be Brave! ' (By My Great Niece Kitty Cotton 11 yrs)
Doctors rushing everywhere,
Up and down the aisles,
Patients crying, panicking,
‘Are there any rooms to spare! ’
The parents would say.
Nurses rushing everywhere,
In and out of rooms,
Patients crying, panicking,
‘Don’t worry, all our nurses care! ’
The chief doctor would say
Into the staff rooms,
Into the offices,
Doctors crying, panicking
‘Oh come on be brave, it’ll all be over soon! ’
