What If We Don't Get What We Want
(jim hughes)
We were sitting at the head of a car
And her lips were dry and parched
And we turned to each other
We were listening to "suspicious minds"
Chorus
And we're cracking codes and combinations
And we're thinking
What if we don't get what we want
Swell, you kick away your golden shoes
Counting what you can afford to lose
And i can't treat you casually
We are not fond of misery
Chorus
On the frozen lake of memory
You were asking me about my dream
And we're turning to each other
And we are so primitive

Footloose
I been working so hard
Keep punching my card
Eight hours, for what?
Oh, tell me what I got
I get this feeling
That times just holding me down
Ill hit the ceiling
Or else Ill tear up this town
Tonight I gotta cut
(chorus)
Loose, footloose
Kick off your sunday shoes
Please, louise
Pull me offa my knees
Jack, get back
Cmon before we crack
Lose your blues
Everybody cut footloose
Youre playing so cool
Obeying every rule
Dig way down in your heart
Youre yearning, burning for some
Somebody to tell you
That life aint passing you by
Im trying to tell you
It will if you dont even try
You can fly if youd only cut
(chorus)
Loose, footloose
Kick off your sunday shoes
Oowhee, marie
Shake it, shake it for me
Whoa, milo
Cmon, cmon let go
Lose your blues
Everybody cut footloose
First - we got to turn you around
Second - you put your feet on the ground
Third - now take a hold of your soul
Four - whooooooooa, Im turning it
Loose, footloose

Down Payment Blues
I know that it's evil
I know that it's got to be
I know I ain't doing much
Doing nothing means a lot to me
Living on a shoe string
A fifty cent millionaire
Open to charity
Rock 'n' roller welfare
Sitting in my Cadillac
Listening to my radio
Suzy baby get on in
Tell me where you want to go
I'm living in a nightmare
She's looking like a wet dream
I got myself a Cadillac
But I can't afford the gasoline
CHORUS:
I've got holes in my shoes
And I'm way overdue
Down payment blues
Get myself a steady job
Some responsibility
Can't even feed my cat
On social security
Hiding from the rent man
Oh it makes me want to cry
Sheriff knocking on my door
Ain't it funny how the time flies
Sitting on my sailing boat
Sipping off my champaign
Suzy baby all at sea [Suzy baby you're obscene]
Say she want to come again
Feeling like a paper cup
[Floating | Blowing] down a storm drain
Got myself a sailing boat
But I can't afford the gasoline [...afford a drop of rain]

Forever
Thinking back, those long summer days
Young and not afraid
Did what we wanted to
Broke some hearts, didnt think Id ever start
To get tired of the part
Thats when I pictured you
Met a face, already knew so well
It was easy to tell
That you knew me too
Spent our time, laughing all the while
I made you lose your smile
Now Im losing you
(pre-chorus)
Is it too late
cause just like before
Ill be knocking at your door
(chorus)
Cant take the pain away from you
And theres nothing I can do
Until you let me through
Without you theres nothing left for me
Oh baby cant you see
Together we will be, forever
Times have changed, some are good and some are bad
The future that we have
Cant be all a dream
Nights that we would find, when we nearly lost our minds
Now could we ever be so blind
cause we were meant to be

High
Guess Im stuck in a dream
Surrounded by coloured leaves on the ground
As I stare at the trees
I see one fall down on my hand
As I start to explore
I cant ignore a man
He turns his head around
His face was all worn by the sun
Chorus:
Im going out for a while
So I can get high with my friends
I will
Im going out for a while
Dont wait up cos I wont be home
Today
Drifting down a road
Losing myself in a dream
Feel my hands getting cold
Sat in a boat on a lake
Chorus
Climbing up trying my best
As I sink
Climbing up trying my best
As I sink again
Lying back on the floor
Reaching up high into space
See myself in a glass
Im counting the lines on my face
Again
Counting the lines on my face
Again
Chorus 2x
Today, today, today, today, etc. (to end)

Little Voice
I won't tell you what I'm thinking
'Cause it's not the same thing you're thinking too
You could say I got a best friend
And she's always telling me what to do
She's out of sight but easy to find
She's in the front of my mind
[CHORUS:]
The little voice in my head won't let me forget
The little voice in my head is never misled
All of this noise is what keeps me from making a mess
The little voice in my head just won't let me get with you
La lala la la......
When I see you I admit
I start to lose my grip and all of my cool
You smell so sweet just like my perfume
What have we been doing since I left you?
You're always there in my thoughts
But that doesn't mean that it's on
[CHORUS]
I know I sound insane, like I'm playing games
'Cause all I really want is you
But there are some things a girl won't do
hmmmmmm.hm

About You
[verse 1]
I've been thinking lately about You
When it hit me from nowhere, out of the gray
Everything's been coming together
(pre-chorus)
Now that I've moved beyond myself
And wrapped my head around something else
[chorus]
It's not about me, it's gotta be about You
(everyday and...)
All I wanna see is who You're turning me into
(in every way and...)
I will not forget that You said You'd always lead me through
To who I wanna be, making every part of me about You
[verse 2]
I've been spending so much time disconnected
I was searching for perfection inside myself
But I finally turned away from my reflection
(pre-chorus)
I saw Your world outside my door
And everything that I've been looking for
[chorus]
It's not about me, it's gotta be about You
(everyday and...)
All I wanna see is who You're turning me into
(in every way and...)
I will not forget that You said You'd always lead me through
To who I wanna be, making every part of me about You
[bridge]
So I'll lay down my pride 'cause You laid down Your life
And I'm giving up all that's holding me back
And clinging to You
And you'll lead me through
'Cause You always do
I will not forget that You said You'd always lead me through
To who I wanna be, making every part of me about You
[chorus]
It's not about me, it's gotta be about You
(everyday and...)
All I wanna see is who You're turning me into
(in every way and...)
I will not forget that You said You'd always lead me through
To who I wanna be, making every part of me about You

Colder
This is what I should have said
If I'd've been a man about it
You might be in my arms by now
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
As I contemplate the losing
The silence is up way too loud
Chorus:
I can't sleep anymore
The words I never said keep turning over
I can't dream like before
And all I seem to be getting is colder
Just like the t-shirt that you wore
You were divine and full of madness
Not really like anyone
In words too beautiful for words
I constructed a soliloquy
That never seemed to reach my tongue
Yeah the air never even filled my lungs
Chorus:
I can't sleep anymore
The words I never said keep turning over
I can't dream like before
And all I seem to be getting is colder
All I can think of is
My name on your lips

The words I never said keep turning over
I can't dream like before
And all I seem to be getting is
All I seem to be getting is colder

Where him and her can just go hang.

South Of Eden
1) nowhere to go on this hot afternoon turn on the fan lay down in my room
I cant believe in this town Im still here
No lover in sight, the mirage disapppears
Turn down the misic turn down the bed
Cause the drink I had this morning, went straight to my head, and I feel like a dream
Chorus -
Baby Im a real steal half price looking for a deal ?
Im golden all around, golden all around
2) in the middle of infinity in the heart of your eyes
I see 100 angels living 100 lives
In the dark of the night when youre alone in your bed
Do you ever think of me, am I a ghost in your head
Chorus -
Cause...baby
Golden all around golden all around-]
Bridge - round, all around, all around
3) found a park in the middle of town flat on my back no one around
The sky grew dark and the sun disappeared and down came rain of sweet lovers tears
Hitched a ride south of eden with a dog dusty and beaten
Speed so fast spinning in my head, and he turned to me and said...
Chorus -
...he said, baby Im a real steal
Half price looking for a deal
Im golden all around, golden all around...2x
Golden all around
Golden all around

I Dont Want To Lose You
(graham russell)

I know its late to say Im sorry
Theres so much on my mind
I feel as though the time is upon me
Do you know you take my heart through the door
Are there words to tell you what I live for
(chorus)
I dont want to lose you
I dont want to lose you
I dont want to lose you
Let me dry your eyes
Is this the last time I can hold you?
Theres hope in this soul
And words that will tread where you go to
Is it true, you are leaving what you believe
Part of you, will always be with me
(chorus)
You have the hand that I need to get by
Understand what it is thats turning me down

Is it true, you are leaving what you believe
Part of you, will always be with me

Till I Get Over You
Every time I feel alone
I can blame it on you
And I do,oh
You got me like a loaded gun
Golden sun
And sky so blue, ahh

We both know
That we want it
But we both know
You left me no choice
[Chorus]
You just bring me down
So I'm counting my tears
'Til I get over you
Sometimes I watch the world go by
I wonder what it is like
To wake up every single day
Smile on your face
You never try
We both know
We can't change it
But we both now
We'll just have to face it

If only I
Could give you up
But would I want to let you off
Of this soapbox baby?

(Beat By) Jealousy
Who was with you, where you been? Baby it can't be this again
I can't cool it 'cos I can't win it with you
Words like punches, things we said, under the belt and in the head
Down for the count in a cold cold bed, beat by jealousy
Chorus:
Jealousy, jealousy, stranglehold, so love can't breathe
Let me be, set me free, jealousy
You won't hear what I imply, what you say, I don't buy
You deny but you lie, jealousy

Down suspicious, torn in doubt, dirty vicious, knock me out
Danger danger, stakes are high, hook the blow between the eyes
Every round, you know we lose more ground, jealousy

Scream
[verse 1]
Does anybody know how I feel?
Sometime's I'm numb, sometime's I'm overcome
Does anybody care what's going on?
Do I have to wear my scars like a badge on my arm?
(pre-chorus)
For you to see me
I need release
[chorus]
Do I have to scream for you to hear me?
Do I have to bleed for you to see me?
'Cause I grieve, you're not listening to me
Do I need to scream?
[verse 2]
Has anybody seen what's been done?
Where was my defense? No one heard my protest
The eyes of God were watching me
It's time to make my peace, let it go and be released
(
pre-chorus)
So I can breathe again
I'm on my knees
[chorus] 2x
Do I have to scream for you to hear me?
Do I have to bleed for you to see me?
'Cause I grieve, you're not listening to me

I've been marked, set apart
But I'm cut so deep and afraid of the dark
One drop of blood from the hole in Your hand
Is enough to heal me and make me stand

'Cause I'm clean, He is listening to me
[chorus]
I don't have to scream for Him to hear me
Don't have to bleed for Him to see me

Why Go ?
Don't go
I didn't know you'd be here
and I wasn't meant to come
I'd be sitting watching TV
If there was anything decent on
If I'd missed the taxi
Or found nothing good to weare
But for some uncertain reason
Some strange uncertain reason
This is how it all
It all began
Why go?
Why go?
When you could stay a while
If I made some coffe
Would you sit and talk some more?
I know words are uaually pointless
When you've used them all before
The way you smile fills the room
Stay a while kick off your shoes
Don't go

Don't Let Her Get Away
(Vince Gill / Al Anderson)
There's nothin' like the feelin'
When you finally find someone
You're wastin' your time
Thinkin' the whole thing through
If you take her for granted
Man, it's gonna come undone
Don't wait another minute
'Cause she's in love with you.
Chorus:
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Well, every gun town would love
To be in your shoes
They've never seen a woman
Ever look so fine
They're all waitin' for the chance
To walk all over you
Son I'd have to tell
I'd be the first in line.
Chorus:
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Any fool can see you've got it made
A love like this don't come around everyday.
Chorus:
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Chorus:
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.

Don't let her get away.
