Solitude

Tim he was a good friend
Yea was a brother of mine
We were imaginary comic book superheroes
Kids wasting time
We were prisoners of our youth
We were growing up strong
til the day he was taken away
For something he did wrong
Tim came round just the other day
And boy he had some stories to tell
His mama kept him locked up in a rehab
Although the doctors said he was well
He said yeah I been through the anger
And the hatred towards my mom
And I put all that behind me
Just tell me what was it like to go to your prom
He said thank you mom for fixing
My clouded broken mind
But excuse me if I seem a little rude
While I was missing my childhood, my brother and my prime
You enjoyed the convenience of my solitude
Well growing up these days just aint easy
And the kids theyre doing the best that they can
So mama you better think twice
Before you lock your kid up and throw away the key
cause soon your little boy is gonna be a man
He said thank you mom for fixing
My clouded broken mind
But excuse me if I seem a little rude
While I was missing my childhood, my brother and my prime
You enjoyed the convenience of my solitude
Tim left town yesterday
He left me with these words
He said yeah I know this lifes got a lot to give
But my childhood is gone
And Im not afraid of dying
Im gonna grab the world by the horns and learn how to live
He said thank you mom for fixing
My clouded broken mind
But excuse me if I seem a little rude
While I was missing my childhood, my brother and my prime
You enjoyed the convenience of my solitude

I remember my childhood

I remember my childhood
Whenever I am in the mood

I remember my childhood
With the bad and the good
I remember my childhood
With the variety of available junk food

Funny, the old want to be young
While kids endeavour to be old and strong
Girls wanted to grow up fast as women
Boys wanted to grow up fast as men
Before they could walk right or learn

Those were good times
With very little crime
We had fun with little a dime
How is that for a rhyme?

Mum would call us for biscuits and cakes
While we played games and learnt from mistakes
We all went anxiously to school
To see what best pranks any of us could pull

I remember my childhood
I was always polite and not rude

I remember my childhood
If I could then you should

We as kids all had dreams
Which we shared as a team
We all loved to rock but hated homework
I mean what was the point of so much paperwork

And what is really bizarre
Is that I was always after
The bedtime stories from Mama and Papa
I also enjoyed the view of the nightly stars from afar
Same way I loved presents at Christmas and Easter

Mama always used to say
A gift no matter how little will lift anyone's spirit any day

I remember my childhood
And the adventures in the woods

I remember my childhood
With all the includes and excludes

I remember my childhood
And till today there are still things I've never understood

If You're Gonna Straighten Up (Brother Now's The Time)

Whew.
Well, She's getting tired of your running around
Out every night trying to paint the town
She's growing weary of your childish games
She's getting fed up with the whole dang thing.
You better listen to me when I talk
That little lady's 'bout to up and walk.
And if she leaves you, boy you'll lose your mind
So if you're gonna straighten up,
Brother now's the time.
Well, She's been calling on my telephone
I've got a shoulder she's been crying on
You'd see the ending if you'd only look
Your baby doll's about to close the book.
You keep neglecting what you've got at home
The way she looks she won't be lonely long.
I know she loves you but she's tired of lies
So if you're gonna straighten up,
Brother now's the time.
Come on.
--- Instrumental ---
Whoo ho - Whoo hoo
A woman has her needs and her desires
She ought to have the lovin' she requires
You can keep her if you only try
But better hurry 'fore she says goodbye.
The kind of love that gives a girl a thrill
If you don't give it there are those who will
There's lots of men who'd love to have a shot
At having something you've already got.
You best be careful what you throw away
It just might haunt you 'til your dying day.
What's the matter with you boy, your blind?
If you're gonna straighten up,
Brother now's the time.
If you're gonna straighten up,
Brother now's the time...
Yeah,
Whoo hoo hoo
Oh yeah,
Yeah, yeah...

[c] dear brother, mama left us this morning
Deaths [g7] angels took her a-[c] way
Shes gone to meet daddy up there in heaven
But [g7] well meet again some [c] day. [c7]
She [f] left this world with a [c] smile on her face
Whispring the saviours [g7] name
[c] dear brother, mama left us this morning
For the [g7] city where is no [c] pain.
As I stood by her bedside, those last few moments
I lived my childhood again
I thought of you brother and of the old homestead
And my tears they fell like rain.

I Want To Tell Him I'm Feeling Like That! (Heartache)

...I want to tell him I'm feeling like that!
'Cause he's my brother.
I want to tell him I'm feeling like that,
Anyday!
But the right words drift away.

I've got to tell him I'm feeling like that!
Since he's my brother.
I need to tell him I'm feeling like that...
'Cause he's my brother!
If I don't this just decays.
Oh oh...
If I don't more hearts will break!
Oh oh...
Because my brother has a lover,
I date!
Oh oh...
And 'maybe' heartaches will be saved?
Should I be brave...
Or continue being your discreet sex slave?

'WHAT? Excuse me...?
Run that back! '
From the beginning.
I've got to be missing something!
WHAT DID YOU SAY...?

My Life

I was standing downtown, downtown
Staring at the pebbles on the ground
Tryin to figure out a way up out of this town
And I know yeah, I'm not the only one
So many people out there chase the sun
If you're looking for a free ride, you better run chile
Or you sure won't get too far, oh
You'd better dance a dance
To make the rain come down
If you want to be a star, oh my life
My Life
(Brother you know)
Sho ain't been too easy
My life
(Sister you know)
The life I wanna live
My life
(Mama you know)
You're gonna go through changes
My life
No turnin back
(I'm tellin' you no)
Evernow and then I
Wanna to throw my hands up in the sky
Cause one day I know I'll be flyin high
And I know yeah I got to get down
On my knees and pray
Cause in heart I know I'll see that day
When my freedom comes along
I'm gonna run chile
Cause I know that I'll go far oh, oh
Can't let nobody kill my soul and bring me down
And they know who they are, oh my life
My Life
(Brother you know)
Sho ain't been too easy
My life
(Sister you know)
The life I wanna live
My life
(Mama you know)
You're gonna go through changes
My life
No turnin back
(I'm tellin' you no)

The life I wanna live

You're gonna go through changes
My life

No turning back

Confessions of a Bound Soul

Brother, my brother,
How selfish was I
While you seemed to struggle,
I sat idly by

Brother, my brother
Yes, try as I might
I now realize
It was also my fight

Brother, my brother
Now look at your arm
It's cold and immovable
Lost all its charm

Brother, my brother
Now look at your leg
There's so much left missing
Yet not once did you beg

Brother, my brother
Though I lost more in mass
It is you far more haunted
By our mistakes in the past

Brother, dear brother
Listen when I say
I will stick by your side
Until this goes away

Brother, dear brother
Listen when I say
I will stick by your side
Until our final day

from your head down to you toes.

Oh brother of mine, why don't you just die tonight.

Nobodys around, it will be a sweet sound.

theres joy in my face,
i'll put you in that place,
not heven but hell,
where you've always belonged.

oh brother, oh brother, oh brother... just die tonight.

nobody would care,

everything will be sweet,
it will be neat,
the my best treat

Its amazing, i know this is ture,
its all gonna come after you,
its all gonna come, come when your gone

Oh brother just die just die just DIE tonight

You'll be on the missing person list,
for a min, or two,
untill we realize this,
NOBODY LIKES YOU!

Oh brother of mine, why don't you just die tonight.

oh brother, oh brother, oh brother... just die tonight.

i can see it now your lying in the snow,
blood red all aroung,
from your head down to you toes.

you'll do us a favor, so put that to your head,
and wish for your sweet death.

Say your good byes, though nobody will cry
just pull that God damn trigger and just die.

Oh brother of mine why don't you just die.
JUST FCUKING DIE! ! !

Brother To Brother

Brother to brother
Now we must join our hearts and hands
Yeah, if we love one another
We hold the key to the promised land
Think of all that weve been through
The shucks and jives and royal blues
Let us pray our time will come
When this world will live as one
Brother to brother
Now dont let the devil get you down
Oh cause its bread and its butter
That makes this whole damn world
Go round and round
Do you know where we went wrong
Tell me why the lines are drawn?
And let us break our boundries down
And live our lives on common ground
Oh mothers and fathers
Where will tomorrows children be?
Oh brother, my brother
Let us live our lives in peace
Brother to brother

It Aint Easy

(j.p. maunick / graham harvey)
We can walk for miles
We can talk for days
Learn about each other always
And though we walk for miles
And we talk for days
Sometimes we let pride get in our way
And for a while something is broken and missing
And I cant tell whats goin on in your mind
It aint easy
Getting it right
It aint easy
Trying to read the signs
It aint easy
Trying to work out whats going on in your mind
And though we live and learn
Love is give and take
We fall into confusion some days
Where theres fear and need
We keep it all inside
Sometimes we let pride get in our way
And for a while something is broken and missing
And I cant tell whats goin on in your mind
It aint easy
Getting it right
It aint easy
Trying to read the signs
It aint easy
Trying to work out whats going on in your mind

'Cause I'm missing my baby (Missing my baby)

Oh I just wish I could find you girl
Said I'm about to go crazy (About to go crazy)
'Cause I been needin' you lately (Needing you lately)
I'm goin' outta my head and all the things that I said
I wish that I never said them now
Aww baby

(You gonna want me back)
And still I want you, want you, want you, want you, want you
Need ya babe
If I could rewind the time
And get inside ya mind
I would take back all my words
I didn't see it, I couldn't see what I was doin' babe
See baby girl I was blind
And I wish I could try
To be the man that you deserve
Give me one chance to make it work
It's driving me crazy (It's driving me crazy)
'Cause I'm missing my baby (Missing my baby)
I'm goin' outta my mind and I'm runnin' outta time
Oh I just wish I could find you girl

Yo I'm tryin' to stay strong
I don't wanna crack but i need her
And she told me I was gon' want her back
Shoulda belived her
Now I'm wishin' I could throw me back to that exact spot
Where we found L-O-V-E at
Lose some then I lose again
When am gonna win some
I said a lot of things out of anger but i meant some
I brought a lot of things to the table besides income
I just want things to go back to how they used to be
I was used to you and I thought you was used to me
Time is against me
You never miss something til' it's gone
That's my word ma
You convinced me
It might not happen but I'm still hopin'
And my heart is broken
But the door is still open
Pillow still soakin
Your boy still loapin'
Dutch still lit
And the bottle still open
If I don't get another chance it'll be hard to get focused
Give me one chance to make it work!
It's driving me crazy (It's driving me crazy)
'Cause I'm missing my baby (Missing my baby)
I'm goin' outta my mind and I'm runnin' outta time
Oh I wish I could find you girl
Said I'm about to go crazy (About to go crazy)
'Cause I been needin' you lately (Needing you lately)
The love of my life but I wasn't loving you right baby
It's driving me crazy (It's driving me crazy)
'Cause I'm missing my baby (Missing my baby)
I'm goin' outta my mind and I'm runnin' outta time
I just wish I could find you girl
So I'm about to go crazy (About to go crazy)
'Cause I been needin' you lately (Needing you lately)
I'm goin' outta my head and all the things that I said
I wish that I never said them now
(Mmm your gonna want me back)
It's the last words she said to me
Now I'm wishing she was still here with me
(Your gonna need me, need me one day)
And that day's here
(Mmm your gonna want me back)
And ya man gotta shed tears
I'm sittin' by the phone
Realizing she ain't ever coming home.....

Sleeping for the Flag

When our boys come home in triumph, brother,
With the laurels they shall gain;
When we go to give them welcome, brother,
We shall look for you in vain.
We shall wait for your returning, brother,
Though we know it cannot be;
For your comrades left you sleeping, brother,
Underneath a southern tree.

Sleeping to waken
In this weary world no more;
Sleeping for your true-lov'd country, brother,
Sleeping for the flag you bore.

You were the first on duty, brother,
When "to arms" your leader cried--
You have left the ranks forever, brother,
You have laid your armies aside.
From the awful scenes of battle, brother,
You were set forever free,
When your comrades left you sleeping, brother,
Underneath that southern tree.

You have cross'd the clouded river, brother,
To the mansions of the best,
"When the wicked cease from troubling," brother,
"And the weary are at rest."
Surely we would not recall you, brother,
But the tears flow fast and free,
When we think of you sleeping, brother,
Underneath a southern tree.

Blues For Mama

Abbey lincoln, nina simone
Hey lordy mama
I heard you wasnt feeling good
Theyre spreadin dirty rumors
All around the neighborhood
They say youre mean and evil
And dont know what to do
Thats the reason that hes gone
And left you black and blue
Hey yeah
Tell me what you gonna do now
They say hes left you all alone
To weather this old storm
Hes got another woman now
Hangin on his arm, yeah yeah yeah
That old fools tellin everybody
Hes sick and tired of you
Hey lordy lordy mama
What you gonna do
Hey yeah
Tell me what you gonna do
They say you love to fuss and fight
And bring a good man down
And dont know how to treat him
They say you aint behind him
And just dont understand
And think that youre a woman
But actin like a man
Hey lordy mama
What you gonna do now
Get your nerves together, baby
And set the record straight
Set it straight
Let the whole round world know
It wasnt you
That cause his bitter fate
All these years you loved him
And he knows its true
cause what youre wantin
For your man
Is what hes wantin, too
Hey yeah
Tell me what you gonna do now
When you love a man enough
Youre bound to disagree
cause aint nobody perfect
cause aint nobody free
Hey lordy mama
Tell me what you gonna do
What you gonna do

Who To Listen To

Dont take a ride from a stranger,
No way to know where they go.
You may be left on a long dark road,
Lost and alone.
Dont you recall what your mama told?
Youve got to learn hot from cold.
When youre afraid that you might get burned,
Where do you turn?
Youve got to know who to, (who to)
Who not to listen to.
Youve gotta know who to, (ooooh....)
Who not to listen to.
Well, you know, theyre gonna hit you from all sides,
Better make up your mind
Who to, who not to listen to.
(who to listen to.)
How can you learn what is true and just?
How to know who to trust?
Here comes a man with a scam to sell.
How can you tell?
Youve gotta know theres a bigger plan,
Room to fall, room to stand.
Pray for the plan to begin in you;
Keep your heart true.
Youve got to know who to, (who to)
Who not to listen to.
Youve gotta know who to,
Who not to listen to. (who to listen to.)
Well, you know, theyre gonna hit you from all sides,
Better make up your mind
Who to, who not to listen to.
Its gonna hit you from all sides,
Better make up your mind
Who to, (who to), who not to listen to.
Everyone will have their words to say....
Find the word to help you find your way....
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...yeah...ah....)
Youve got to know who to, (who to)
Who not to listen to.
Youve gotta know who to,
Who not to listen to. (who to listen to.)
Well, you know, theyre gonna hit you from all sides,
Better make up your mind
Who to, who not to listen to.
Theyre gonna hit you from all sides,
Better make up your mind
Who to, who not to listen to. (who to listen to.)
Theyre gonna hit you from all sides.
Hit you from all sides,
Better make up your mind
Who to, (who to), who not to listen to.
(who do you listen to? )
Theyre gonna hit you from all sides, (theyre gonna hit!)
Theyre gonna hit you from all sides,
Better make up your mind
Who to, who not to listen to.
(who to listen to.)
(youve got to know.
Who to listen to.)
(you gotta know who to.
Who to listen to.)
(theyre gonna hit you from all sides.
Hit you from all sides.)

Brother To Brother Hymn

Brother to brother
I know that I can always coun on you
Because you are my brther
And I am your brother also
Brother to brother
Your life is different than mine
You live in Brazil
I live in Canad a country that is more advanced in technology
Brother to brother
I will pray for you
Eventhough you don't believe in God
Brother to brother I will email you more frequently
Brother to brother I will sing you a song
Brother to brother I hope the saints will go to Sao paulo and watch you While you are sleeping
