American Hearts
(dominic bugatti, frank musker)
They were married in september back in 1969
They traveled east to india to find some peace of mind
They stood for love and freedom
They were children of their time, wo wo
They lived in a world that was cold and uncaring
They swore they would change it with love and sharing
They never lived like their parents had done
Their innocence shone like the sun
(chorus)
American hearts, so filled with emotion
American hearts, so easily broken
Now theyve got a family and a cottage in the hills
Hes always working late to pay the mortgage and the bills
And she has trouble sleeping so the doctor gives her pills, wo wo
Who are these strangers who used to be lovers?
Now theyve got nothing to say to each other
Too far apart to discuss their mistakes
They fought with divorce and it breaks their
(chorus)
Now that its over, they each go on living
Never forgetting but somehow forgiving
Theyll care for their children
Protect them with pride
And thats how the dream will survive in
(repeat chorus)

Gift With A Golden Gun
Its a twelve oclock depression, my mind is in recession
And I cant answer you
Its the day I cant remember, I think its late september
Or is it april blue
I cant find peace of mind in a world so unkind
Its just a little heartbreaker, just a little heartbreaker, yeah
Its a sticky situation when Im near hallucination, and I refuse to bow
They used to think me funny when I promised them their money
But theyre not laughing now
Chorus:
I cant find peace of mind, then she calls me just in time
Shes a gift with a golden gun, and shes got them on the run
Shes a gift with a golden gun, cause she knows what theyve done
(instrumental break)

Just what theyve done, done, done, done, done
What theyve done, done, done, done, done

Time For Change
I heard some kids telling me
How theyve lost all the faith in the way
Theyve been talking world peace
And the wars in the streets
(pre-chorus)
The lines on their faces so deep
A revolution, or reach out
And touch the day
Were overdue, child
(chorus)
Change
Now its time for change
Nothing stays the same
Now its time for change
I feel the the future in the hands
Of our youth will be safe
No more lies
Old, tired fools tell our future
With tarot cards, and lie of crime
(pre-chorus)(chorus)
Ill change
Ill change
Not tomorrow but today

Is It Really Love
(don scott hare, rita gannon)
They say that its the same the whole world over
That loves the hardest thing to understand
I thought once in love my troubles would blow over
But it seems thats when the heartache just begins
And I remember when you first said that you love me
I tried not to let the words go to my head
The things you said you spoke so sincerely
Somewhere in between the lines of red
Chorus:
Is it really love
Is it really love
Or just my heart playing tricks on me
I fall so easily
Is my heart telling me
That Im your fool
Or is it really love
This time loves got me feeling so uncertain
My hearts seen all the breaks that it can take
I cant tell you if this is just infatuation
Or another chance to learn from my mistakes
Repeat chorus
Im a little bit leary
Of the love em and leave em behind kind
Im just a little bit weary
Cause other lovers like messing with my mind
Oh all the time
Repeat chorus
Am I your fool
Or is it really love

Every Woman In The World
(dominic bugatti, frank musker)
Over night scenes, dinner and wine
Saturday girls
I was never in love, never had the time
In my hustle and hurry world
Laughing myself to sleep, waking up lonely
I needed someone to hold me, oh
Its such a crazy old town, it can bring you down
Till you run out of dreams
So you party all night to the music and lights
But you dont know what happiness means
I was dancin in the dark with strangers
No love around me, when suddenly you found me, oh
(chorus) girl youre evry woman in the world to me
Youre my fantasy, youre my reality
Girl youre evry woman in the world to me
Youre evrything I need
Youre evrything to me, oh girl
Evrything good, evrything fine
Thats what you are
So put your hand in mine and together
Well climb as high as the highest star
Im living a lifetime in evry minute that were together
And Im stayin right here forever oh

More Than Love
(d. pickerill/p. odonoughue)
On a warm summer morning
The suns hurting their eyes
No one is listening
cos theyre telling lies
Then they walk along the beach
Sun rising on the shore
As it moves across the sky
A scene from a film, as time goes by
Chorus:
Its much more than love
This feeling is stronger
Than any theyve known before
Can it go on any longer
Its much more than love
Its a spell that theyre under
Its hurting their hearts again
They cant go on any longer
He says, its alright
Shes not too sure
Just who are we, hear her
Crying out for more
Trying to make it work
They wont mind laughter now
Some kissing distant waves
As she leaves him with a smile
Chorus
Theyve got to take their time
To fight to keep their love alive
Theyve got to take their time
To fight to keep their love alive
Chorus (x2)

Only The Children
We keep hurting each other when words cant be easily said
No understanding or reason, just fear and confusion instead
We need hope for the future, and the young need a chance to survive
No one knows the pain thats felt by the innocent, theyre
Fighting to stay alive, can no one see the tears in their eyes
Chorus:
Only the children, only the children cry, only the children
Why do those who have plenty ignore those with nothing at all
Why must the ones just beginning, stand with their backs to the wall
They keep asking for answers and we keep on telling them lies
They only want to understand what they feel inside
The hunger that tears them apart
Its the one thing theyve known from the start
Chorus - (only the children cry)

Autumn Goodbye
Chorus: I never promised you a happy ending
You never said you wouldnt make me cry
But summer love will keep us warm long after
Our autumn goodbye, autumn goodbye
Autumn goodbye
Thinkin of you
And the love of our lives
In the sweet summertime
So sad but true (so true, so true)
We must leave it behind
In our hearts, in our minds
Pre chorus: from april through september
Bittersweet was the love that we share
Dont forget
I remember
Repeat chorus (2x)
Memories can fade
But my heart has a place
For the smile on your face
And maybe someday
We can be more than friends
Love will find us again
Red leaves and blue tomorrows
Time will give back the love that we shared
On the time that we borrowed
Repeat chorus (2x)
Repeat pre chorus
Repeat chorus (2x)
Well leave behind
The summertime
Our hearts, our minds
They will remind
We wont forget
The day we met
The day we cried
Autumn goodbye

Little Sparrow
Little sparrow
Dolly parton = little sparrow
(chorus)
Little sparrow, little sparrow,
Precious fragile little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Flies so high and feels no pain.
All ye maidens heed my warning
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you like a sparrow
Leaving you to never mend.
They will vow to always love you
Swear no love but yours will do
Then theyll leave you for another
Break your little heart in two
Repeat chorus
If I were a little sparrow, over these mountains I would fly
I would find him, I would find him, look into his lying eyes
I would flutter all around him, on my little sparrow wings
I would ask him, I would ask him, why he left me loving him
Repeat chorus
I am not a little sparrow, I am just the broken dream
Of a cold false-hearted lover and his evil cunning scheme
Repeat chorus
All ye maidens fair and tender
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you, like a sparrow
Leaving you to never mend.
Little sparrow, little sparrow,
Oh my sorrow never ends.

Burdens
Something's got me down again,
I feel the walls closing in,
If you could only read my mind tell me what would you find?
Show me where it all began.
Could you help me understand?
And the toll it's taking,
every day I'm aching.
[chorus]
Living in danger,
I'm a hazard to myself.
Why can't these problems belong to someone else?
I need an angel to protect me from myself,
and take these burdens off my mind.
I wish I knew the words to say,
to make it all go away.
Even when it's plain to see,
it's hard to believe.
Cuz when you're hearts been broken,
all you're hope's been stolen.
[chorus]
I'm running on faith,
I really don't know,
if it's too late,
or which way to go,
it's a matter of time,
will I ever know?
oh, before I lose control
Cuz when you're hearts been broken,
all you're hope's been stolen.

yeah,
off my mind

Get on follow boy or you'll be left out in the cold

Before Your Love
I wonder how I ever made it through a day
How did I settle for a world with shades of gray?
When you go in circles all the scenery looks the same
And you don't know why
Then I looked into your eyes
And the road stretched out in front of me
And I realized
Chorus:
I never lived
Before your love
I never felt
Before your touch
I never needed anyone to make me feel alive
But then again
I wasn't really living
I never lived
Before your love
I wanted more than just an ordinary life
All of my dreams seemed like castles in the sky
I stand before you and my heart is in your hands
And I don't know how
I survived without your kiss
Cause you've given me a reason to exist
Chorus
I never lived before your love
And I don't know why
Why the sun decides to shine
But you breathed your love into just in time
I never lived
Before your love
I never felt
Before your touch
I never needed anyone to make me feel alive
But then again
I wasn't really living
I never lived
I never lived
Before your love

Why Cant We
Look how the wind carries the seed
See how the soil supplies what it needs
The rain falls, the sun shines and a flower breaks free
And it all works together, why cant we
And I have seen children at play in the park
Skin shades of ivory, red, yellow and dark
Well, my eyes saw colors their little hearts could not see
They were playing together, why cant we
Chorus:
Why cant we, why cant we
I can love you and you can love me
Why cant we, why cant we
Set our foolish pride free, just be and let be
Why cant we
I had a dream about a lion and a lamb
They were playing together and there was peace in the land
And swords became plowshares cause there were no enemies
And I woke up and wondered, God why cant we
Repeat chorus

Set our foolish pride free, just be and let be

You Have To Hurt
(frank musker, dominic king)
Im in love with him? she said
With all the innocence of tender years
But somewhere down the road ahead
I could see the same eyes
Filled with bitter tears
I had the inclination
To tell her not to drop her guard
To tell her that life can be hard
But I didnt have the heart
(chorus)
You have to hurt - to understand
You have to get by the best you can
Until you hurt - until you cry
You wont know about love
And the reason youre alive
You have to hurt
She said, i know hell never leave me
I never felt it deep inside like this before?
It was good to see her, believe me
But I couldnt stand to hear this anymore
All that expectation
Too naive to really see
Maybe she knew better than me
It was better just to let her be
(chorus)
Little sister, youre so sweet
Thinking love runs smooth
You dont know the half of it
We laugh until we lose
Theres no way around it

To Love Sombody
There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be
Lived with you
Lived with you
There's a way
Everybody say
To do each an every little thing
But what does it bring
If I ain't got you, ain't got you
CHORUS
You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you
In my brain
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
I'm blind, so so so blind
I'm a man, can't you see
What I am
I live and breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you, ain't got you

With A Second Chance
This town has got me running scared
Were running out of time girl
Slogans painted everywhere
Messin up my dream world
Im trying to make it on my own
Find it all by myself
I can take the overflow,
Couldve been me or you
Just like somebody else
I aint going anywhere
Without you by my side girl
Someone like you comes around just one time
Even the weakest of hearts will survive
Chorus:
With a second chance
I know we can make it girl
With a second chance
Love will last forever
Breathing in this filthy air
Is tearing me in two girl
I hear the sirens every night
Like echoes in a cruel world
Nothing that I say or do
Seems to matter at all
Everyone is so confused thats why I had to call
Just hearing you across the line
Is good enough for me girl
Someone like you comes around just one time
Even the weakest of hearts will survive
Chorus:
With a second chance
I know we can make it girl
With a second chance
Love will go on forever
Someone like you comes around just one time
Even the weakest of hearts will survive
With a second chance
I know we can make it girl
With a second chance
Love will last forever

What's up, the world is changing!
What's up, the world is changing! Coming out from outside, what do I see. The people are sad not happy and losing there jobs. How can they pay there bills and rent, mortgage on there house if they do not have no jobs. The people use to have a smile on there face because they have money to pay there bills and other things that have to be paid to. What's up, the world is changing! Coming out from outside, what do I see. The children use to played outside in front of the doors and the children use to laught at each other by joking. The children use to go to the store by themselves without getting hit by a bullet. The children use to socialize with other children by playing. Now, the children is dieing, crying, and continue to fantasizing. What's up, the world is changing! Coming out from outside, what do I see. The children is looking for love cannot find love from there home so, they are looking for the right one to give them love. The children looking in the wrong places to found love. It will be too late to tell the children that the love isn't out there. The love is inside there hearts and can they flll it?

All The World
All the world's forgiving the change is all around
And people everywhere have seen the light in what they've found
It's a happy place in the human race
When all our lives are lived forgiving
All the world's for living when love is what you find
Despair and loneliness you've got to leave them far behind
Tell the clouds to go let the feeling show
It's great when life is full of living
Everyone's aware they know to change the world we've got to care
And people all should know should have happened long ago
Or could it be that I just now found out
Life is meant to share and it means the same thing everywhere
Living everyday, helping people on their way
Cause sometimes life gives everyone some doubts
Can I have time? Is it right what I feel?
At times I doubt what I normally know is real
But right now I don't know what to do
And it's all because of you
I could tell you if I knew that you'd believe
As slight and elusive as life sometimes is
Right or wrong as we both know we all can be
I could never have denied that I need you by my side
'Cause without you life don't seem that much to me
I can see an old man cry, it's his time to die
And life no longer gives him any breaks
He hasn't got a home, no one to call his own
Still he tells no one that it is more than he can take
When the time is so unkind, an empty future plays in your mind
When the darkness cries out to you, can you escape it?
What can you do?
All the world's forgetting the hate that filled our hearts
The times of selfish reasoning that keeps all apart
This world was meant to share, let them know you care
By making someone's life worth living
All the world's believing that this felling's got to stay
till all the world is living
till all the world is giving
till all the world is loving every day

Its Too Late To Change The Time
[intro]
Too late
Too late
Too late

In this automatic age
We shop through the yellow page
Gone is the corner store
There is a supermarket there for you
People give way to change
But feelings remain the same

And its too late, too late to change the time
Well its too late, too late to change the time
And its too late, too late to change the time
But its not too late (too late) to change your mind

Its a new day, a new age
A photograph just taken, is ready one minute later
Cars are bigger and better
But the manufacturers sastified never
In a world full of crime
I cant let you think thats right

And its too late, too late to change the time
And its too late, too late to change the time
And its too late, too late to change the time
But its not too late (too late) to change your mind

So you wanna be a star (so you wanna be a star)
You are who you think you are (ah think you are)
You dont have to go further
Than my loving arms
[chorus half]
And its too late, too late to change the time
But its not too late (too late) to change your mind
[bridge 2]
Are you sure you wanna go to new york city (new york city)
Where girls make it big if theyre pretty (if they pretty)
Let say you get that penthouse view
But whos gonna love you the way I do (just the way I do)

And its too late, too late to change the time, no

Now shes not so sure
She thought shed done some living
But now shes just wonderin
What shes living for
Now shes feeling that theres something more
Chorus:
Is there life out there
So much she hasnt done
Is there life beyond
Her family and her home
Shes done what she should
Should she do what she dares
She doesnt want to leave
Shes just wonderin
Is there life out there
Shes always lived for tomorrow
Shes never learned how
To live for today
Shes dyin to try something foolish
Do something crazy
Or just get away
Something for herself for a change

Where life is fair and time is a friend
Would she do it the same as she did back then
