New Bag
It moulded to my shoulder
comfortable, but worn
a little ragged really,
but a friend.
I would stuff it with spare knickers,
tissues, lipstick too,
some pain killers, in case
and a small picture of you.
There was sticky tape and tweezers,
cleansing cream for face
and just in case my breath smelled foul
a toothbrush and toothpaste.
So what was I to do, or say
I swallowed hard and sighed
when you sang Happy birthday,
it was so hard not to cry
for on the table, in a box,
tied up with pretty string,
a brand new bag, designer brand,
that wouldn't hold a thing.

Hard Up Case
You told me once I was your pride and joy
I guess those days are dead and gone
You must have took me for some golden boy
You didnt know what you were taking on
It was a hard up case
It was a hard up case
Just another hard up case
It was a hard up case
Just another hard up case
Now all the angles have been played in threes
There isnt much that I can say
I know you gave your little heart to me
I guess I threw the thing away
It was a hard up case
It was a hard up case
Just another hard up case
It was a hard up case
Just another hard up case
Sometimes the truth is kind of hard to find
But dont you worry I can read your mind
And you dont have to tell me to my face
You put some other joker in my place
They dealt us houses full with the queens and kings
And now theyre calling out our bluff
cause you and me girl we had everything
But it just wasnt quite enough
Now thats a hard up case
It was a hard up case
Just another hard up case
It was a hard up case
Just another hard up case
You say the truth is gonna set me free
Like you might throw a dog a bone
I know youre thinking that the jokes on me
Just take a look at what you re dragging home --
Another hard up case
It was a hard up case
Just another hard up case
It was a hard up case
Just another hard up case

Designer Brand
son asks father daily
for designer goods
from clothes to wallet
to shoes to his underwear
wise father decides
to teach son a lesson
about the most important
brand that one should have
'look at this shoe worn by
that famous author. every line,
every crease speaks of him.
the world flies here to breathe his things.
the simplest things come alive with
his aura, his unique brand'
son feels an emptiness in him
immediately. he starts looking at things
inside out rather than the other way round.
he begins to realise the artist has to shed his brand
on the canvas and that all the best colours wont
do him any good, if he is not foremostly
a brand himself.
he begins to cultivate the brand that has been
a slave to others, to free himself from being painted by others.
he starts to paint his life the way he wants to be, to be a designer brand himself

Brand New Game
Saw you talk near the slots
And I got a brand new game
Running down the alley with an hour you bought
From a man with no last name
Like an idiot animal
Too stupid to shame
Got a brand new game
Got a brand new, brand new game
Got a brand new game
Got a brand new game
Ape man in a cave
Painting on the wall
Nothings gonna keep the visions menacing glances
And nothing thats got it all
From gazing over to where hope sleeps
Artificially small
Like a beast to tame
Got a brand new game
Got a brand new, brand new game
Got a brand new game
Got a brand new game
Now monkey is alright?
Come on
Ones never enough, twos always a crowd
I got a mindful scoping the slide?
And a glass side nature mane?
Everythings impossible
Theres nothing to do
But oppose this road remain?
Push the point to oblivion
And keep turning the plane
Got a brand new game
Got a brand new, brand new game
Got a brand new game
Got a brand new game

Quid pro quo
A tooth for a tooth
An eye for an eye
You know what’s next
(ok, just in case you
don’t… until all would
be toothless and blind)
a lie for a lie
hmm, hand them
brand new brushes
each

more colgate toothpaste
please
they’re all lying on their teeth.

Boots
I found a pair of boots upon the street
So I took them home to wear on my feet
I washed them I cleaned them and I aired them out
So I could put them all later when I would walk about.
I put my new boots on, and I walked down the road
They seemed so very sturdy to carry my heavy load
Then they took me places where I have never been
I could tell that these boots were very well broken in.
They felt so very soft and comfortable upon my feet
How excited I was for my new boots others would see.
And when I did my walk many persons just stared
As they looked at my new boots but I really never cared.
Maybe they too just wanted boots just like mine
But this one thing I knew they were hard for me to find.
I had so much fun with my brand new pair of boots
We walked everywhere they placed me in a happy mood
And the longer that I walked still no pain did I feel
I was excited and content my life became so surreal.
So it started to get late so I decided to walk home
So that's were we head just me and my boots alone
And then when I took them off I placed them beside my bed
So I could be ready for my next journey or adventure ahead.
I wore those boots of mine for many, many years
They always felt so comfortable never brought me any tears
I would wash them and clean them and polish them too
Now they were always mine and they always looked brand new.
Then one day I wore another pair of shoes when I went out
I left my old boots home alone so they could air out
So myself and my new shows were gone most of the day
As I had errands to run and also many bills to pay.
But sadly when I got home I was taken by surprise
My boots were stolen and that brought tears to my eyes
I thought to myself who would steal those old boots of mine
Boots that have been worn and used who would commit that crime.
So I went out and bought so many different pairs of shoes
And none are that old as they are all seemingly brand new
I still go for my walks and I still go to town and all about
My feet are so much happier now I myself with joy wanna shout
But every now and then I think about those boots I once wore
The ones I found on the street and I never bought in the store
I wonder now if they are ragged and torn and beyond repair
But that's someone else problem now, so why would I care.

Brand New Day
At the end of the day you are worn out, you are worn out, and too tired to sleep
But then you do dream of wonderful things
That you might do, right on through to the next day
And then you wake up
The suns on your face
Youre stretchin while youre sayin
Its a brand new day!
Its a brand new day and the sky is clear
So lets come together, everybody cheer
Come out people from everywhere
Lets see your faces, the day well share
Come on and celebrate a brand new day everyday!
Call out to the workers and the children in the schools
Its a day of celebration so put down your tools and
Celebrate a brand new day everyday!
Come see the mountains and come see the shores
Mother nature is calling so come climb aboard and
Celebrate a brand new day everyday! lets go -
At the end of the day there is no doubt you are worn out
Ooh but then you do dream of wonderful things
Wonderful things you might do
And then you wake up
The suns on your face
Youre stretchin while youre sayin
Its a brand new day!
Celebrate a brand new day, everyday!
Celebrate a brand new day, everyday!

Murder Case
What is there to do
Either way your going to lose,
Somebody you care about
Something you'll never doubt,
Like when you look into their eyes
And tell them it's okay to cry,
From the first time you kiss
Which in my case, I'll miss,
Every little thing we did
And the things that we hid,
Cause it hit me in the face
Damn- im in a murder case,
I can't run and i can't let get out
There's no reason to scream or to shout,
It's hard for me to let one go
And i keep telling my self i know,
I can tell how you feel
And i know everything is real,
You know i'll always miss you
And you know thats the truth,
My feelings will forever grow
And later down the line, they'll show,
How much you mean to me
And how much i wish we can be,
Forever together
Serperate in my sentences- NEVER,
This hurts me in so many ways
But it's time for me to say,
This hit me so hard in the face
Damn- im in a murder case....

The Sha La La Song
At last its over,
I knew I could not hold him,
His love for freedom
Was far too strong.
But though hes gone now
My life is just beginning,
Ill soon forget him,
Ill soon forget him,
I must forget him, lord!
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
Theres a brand new day beginning.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
Theres a brand new love that waits for me.
Will I remember,
Will I still hear him whisper ?
Will I still feel his
Lips on mine ?
In dreams I see him,
Perhaps hell stay forever
And all Im wishing
And all Im hoping
And all my longing, too.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
Theres a brand new day beginning.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
Theres a brand new love that waits for me.
He made me happy
And though I suffered, too,
Theres no mistaking
Our love was true.
But such a sweet love
Just wasnt meant to be
And its all over
Yes, its all over,
And now its done Ill start anew.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
Theres a brand new day beginning.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
Theres a brand new love beginning.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
Theres a brand new day beginning.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
Theres a brand new love beginning.

What are they doing in the hyacinth house? x2
To please the lions in this day
I need a brand new friend who doesnt bother me
I need a brand new friend who doesnt trouble me
I need someone and who doesnt need me
I see the bathroom is clear
I think that somebodys near
Im sure that someone is following me, oh yeah
Why did you throw the jack of hearts away? x2
It was the only card in the deck that I had left to play
And Ill say it again, I need a brand new friend x2
And Ill say it again, I need a brand new friend, the end

Clarence
Clarence Lee from Tennessee
Loved the commercials he saw on TV.
He watched with wide believing eyes
And bought everything they advertised --
Cream to make his skin feel better
Spray to make his hair look wetter
Bleach to make his white things whiter
Stylish jeans that fit much tighter.
Toothpaste for his cavities,
Powder for his doggie's fleas,
Purple mouthwash for his breath,
Deodorant to stop his sweat.
He bought each cereal they presented,
Bought each game that they invented.
Then one day he looked and saw
'A brand-new Maw, a better Paw!
New, improved in every way --
Hurry, order yours today!'
So, of course, our little Clarence
Sent off for two brand-new parents.
The new ones cam in the morning mail,
The old ones he sold at a garage sale.
And now they all are doing fine:
His new folks treat him sweet and kind,
His old ones work in an old coal mine.
So if your Maw and Paw are mean,
And make you eat your lima beans
And make you wash and make you wait
And never let you stay up late
And scream and scold and preach and pout,
That simply means they're wearing out.
So send off for two brand-new parents
And you'll be happy as little Clarence.

Well, well, hey hey yeah now...
I've got a brand-new baby and i feel so good
She loves me even better than i thought she would
I'm on my way to her house and i'm plumb out of breath
When i see her tonight, i'm gonna squeeze her to death

She's the sweetest little girl that i've ever met
Got the best love that i'll ever get from claudette
Oh-oh claudette
Well i'm a lucky man my baby treats me right
She's gonna let me hug and kiss and hold her tight
When the date is over and we're at her front door
When she kiss me goodnight i'll holler "more, more, more!"
Claudette, pretty little pet, claudette
Never make me fret, claudette
She's the greatest little girl that i ever met
You can bet i'm glad to get claudette
Pretty little pet claudette
Well i.....when me and my new baby have a date or three
I'm gonna ask my baby if she'll marry me
I'm gonna be so happy for the rest of my life
When my brand-new baby is my brand-new wife

And what we did with this new company in 1985 is we did start focusing on PCs instead of video game machines, because we learned the hard lesson about bringing a product to market in a consumer world where it's very expensive to build a brand and get distribution and so forth.

Hard To Find Her
Overdone,
I was running around
trying to get me some when
you were there on my shoulder
telling me that
She's the one,
She's the one in a million that comes along but
tell me what could I do?
Cos I tried so hard to find her.
Should I hold my breath
now she's looking at me.
And I hope she knows I want her.
What if she was looking at you,
not me.
Late again,
I lay awake on my bed as I dreamt of her and,
would she like to come over?
Maybe next time
would be fine,
I've got a feeling that I may be losing my mind
but tell me what can I do?
Cos I tried so hard to find her.
Should I hold my breath
now she's looking at me.
And I hope she knows I want her.
What if she was looking at you,
not me.
I'm holding out a million-dollar bill.
I'm hoping that she'll look my way.
I'd crawl on my knees to be beside her.
Even if I knew I could never walk again
Cos I tried so hard to find her.
Should I hold my breath
now she's looking at me.
And I hope she knows I want her.
What if she was looking at you,
not me.
Cos I tried so hard to find her.
Should I hold my breath
now she's looking at me.
And I hope she knows I want her.
What if she was looking at you,
not me
Overdone,
I was running around
trying to get me some and
tell me what could I do?

Glad To Be Alive (7'' Mix)
[INTRO:]
Ohh life's so hard
Someday's you need something new to wear
Like a brand new hat
[1a:]
Try so hard
To work it out
People try to hold you back
On day's like that
You need another hand
[1b:]
It's the same all over the world
People have to earn a living
Now you're so far from the troubles at home
Leave them alone
And they'll work themselves out
[CHORUS:]
We love it
Glad to be alive
I like it
Working over time in lovin'
I hope tomorrow feels like this
Yeah
[2:]
Dreaming hard
Brand new car
And another home loan
And the phone bill is overdue
Don't give up on rainy days
I've seen the sun come shining through
On you and me
Make you feel alright
[1b:]
[CHORUS:]
[BRIDGE:]
Life's so hard
We can work it out
Will it's a big tough city
We can work out our way
[CHORUS:]

We're Just Friends
Over and over and over again
You say that we're just friends
Forget the implications
Infatuations end
Felt so easy
Why's it hard?
I can't imagine ever being apart
I'd come back to you
It'd be brand new
But I promise we're just friends
Over and over and over again
I try to make amends
For every thing that I've done wrong
My whole world just ends
You make some coffee
Hold me up
Try to talk me outta giving up
I'd come back to you
It'll be brand new
But I promise
We're just friends

Love By the Sea
I've seen her face, I know her heart
I long for her embrace...
She thinks she is a passing thing,
but that's just not the case.
If she becomes a 'searchable document'
Will she leave me far behind...
The triple period says it all
the future's hard to find.
I'm in a cabin, above the sea
The room is hot and cold.
Waitin' for the woman who left me there
looking for her heart to hold...
I've brought him here
within the trees
A dream we both
shall share.
And when we hold
each other close
We'll cast away
all care.
My love for him
is everlasting and
to it there is no end.
He is more than a just lover,
He is also my best friend.

New day
It a brand new day
What a happy day
It a brand new moment
Make it a happy day
Forget about the bad time
And remember the good time
Great change in my life
The things i use to do
I do them no more
The wrong i use to do
I do them no more
It a great change in my life
The wrong made right
The corner turns bright
For there was light
There came the rain
To wash away the pain
The old life is gone
No not again
It a brand new day
What a happy day

To Be (Love Poem)
Sometimes it’s hard to be apart
Sometimes it’s hard to be brave
Sometimes it’s hard to be cold
Sometimes it’s hard to be daring
Sometimes it’s hard to be early
Sometimes it’s hard to be friends
Sometimes it’s hard to be good
Sometimes it’s hard to be happy
Sometimes it’s hard to be in-love
Sometimes it’s hard to be just
Sometimes it’s hard to be kind
Sometimes it’s hard to be lovely
Sometimes it’s hard to be mellow
Sometimes it’s hard to be nasty
Sometimes it’s hard to be out
Sometimes it’s hard to be poor
Sometimes it’s hard to be quiet
Sometimes it’s hard to be ready
Sometimes it’s hard to be simple
Sometimes it’s hard to be together
