The Torch Singer
The night club was burning
From the torch singers song
And the sweat was floodin her eyes
The catwalk squeaked
neath the bartenders feet
And the smoke was too heavy to rise
Chorus:
She sang of the love that I left her
And of the woman that shell never be
Made me feel like the buck and a quarter
That I paid em to listen and see
I paid em to listen and see
I was born down in kansas
neath the october sky
Work the day shift from seven to three
And the only relief that I receive
Is nearer my God to thee
She constantly throws me off timing
Leaves me standing both naked and bare
Makes me feel like the sunday funnies
After everythings gone off the air
Everythings gone off the air
I picked through the ashes
Of the torch singers song
And I ordered my money a round
For whiskey and pain
Both taste the same
During the time they go down
(repeat chorus)

A Fool & His Money
(michael leeson / peter vale / jack hues / peter wolf)
The longer love survives
The more its easy to be blind
When it is obvious its over
I put my trust in you
I spent my love and I thought I knew
But now things just dont look the same
I paid the price with a love I thought was strong
Counting on you I was wrong
Chorus:
Just like a fool and his money
Just like a fool, I let it slip away
Just like a fool and his money
All the love has gone
You think everythings all right
But love can change that all over night
And the hand you hold is colder
And then your fortunes fade
You really need the gold that youve thrown away
And all you believed in has changed
I paid the price for leaving love to chance alone
Now I know this bird has flown
Repeat chorus
As the rain pours down in a starless night
And my heart longs only for you
A fool to cry
Repeat chorus

Pickin Up The Pieces Again
I knew you were leaving,
The way you said goodbye.
Along with a feeling, somehow I will survive.
You dont need a reason,
When everythings changed.
Im lost in the shadows of a dream that we once made.
(CHORUS)
And how do I know its not too late to try?
And how do you feel, how do I know?
When all thats left in the end,
Were pickin up the pieces again.
Now loving without you aint easy to do,
Coz places remind me Im still in love with you.
Now Ive been thinking baby, maybe you can come my way.
But I know tomorrow, therell be nothing left to say.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Lonely, burning inside,
Cant you see Im hiding the pain.
Tell me baby, where did we go wrong?
Tell me we can try again.
(CHORUS)
But how do I know its not too late to try?
And how do you feel, how will I know?
When all thats left in the end,
Two lovers parting as friends,
Were pickin up the pieces again.

Midnight Blue
I see the lonely road that leads so far away,
I see the distant lights that left behind the day
But what I see is so much more than I can say
And I see you midnight blue.
I see you cryin now youve found a lot of pain,
And what youre searchin for can never be the same,
But whats the difference cos they say whats in a name.
And I see you midnight blue.
Chorus
I will love you tonight,and I will stay
By your side,lovin you,Im feelin midnight blue.
I see you standing there far out along the way,
I want to touch you but the night becomes the day,
I count the words that I am never gonna say
And I see you midnight blue.
Repeat chorus
Cant you feel the love that Im offering you,
Cant you see how its meant to be,
Cant you hear the words that Im saying to you,
Cant you believe like I believe,
Its only one and one its true
Still I see you midnight blue.
I see beautiful days and I feel beautiful ways
Of loving you,everythings midnight blue.

Touch Your Woman
We cant always both be right
We sometimes disagree
But youve got the right to speak your mind
An its the same with me
When the angers at an end
And you want inside my arms again
All you have to do to make it right is just
Chorus:
Touch your woman
Touch your woman
Everythings gonna be alright
Touch your woman
Touch your woman
Let me know, let me know everythings alright
There are times when I should be strong
When Im awfully weak
When the sudden blows of life have brought me to my knees
Woman needs a helpin hand
Needs someone to understand
Needs the man she loves to help her stand, so
Repeat chorus
And when the busy day is done
You lay by my side
You know exactly what it takes to keep me satisfied
You know exactly what I need and I always go to sleep in peace
Thanking God that you belong to me, so

Hard Rock Bottom Of Your Heart
Intro (listen to recording for timing)
Since the day I was led to temptation
And in weakness did let your love down
I have prayed that with time and compassion
Youd come around
Chorus:
I keep waiting for you to forgive me
And you keep saying you cant even start
And I feel like a stone you have picked up and thrown
To the hard rock bottom of your heart
To the hard rock bottom of your heart
Now this home we have built is still standing
Its foundation is on solid ground
Do we roll up our sleeves and repair it
Or burn it down
Go to chorus
We cant just block it out weve got to talk it out
Until our hearts get back in touch
I need your love I miss it I cant go on like this is
Hurts too much
Go to chorus, repeat last two lines of chorus for ending.

Killing Me Softly (feat. Fugees)
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly, with his song
I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him, and listen for a while
And there he was, this young boy, a stranger to my eyes
(repeat chorus)
I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters, and read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on
(rpt chorus)
He sang as if he knew me, and all my dark despair
He kept on looking right through me as if I wasn't there
And then he kept on singing, singing clear and strong

Mobile
Went back home again
this sucks gotta pack up and leave again
say goodbye to all my friends
can't say when I'll be there again
It's time now to turn around
Turn my back on
EVERYTHING (turn my back on) everything....
[chorus]
Everythings changing when I turn around all out of my control I'm a mobile.
Everythings changing when I turn around all out of my control I'm a mobile.
Start back at this life
Stretch myself back into the vibe
I'm waking up to say I've tried
Instead of waking up to another TV GUIDE
It's time now to turn around
Turn and walk on this crazy ground oh oh oh....
[chorus]
Everythings changing when I turn around all out of my control I'm a mobile
Everythings changing out of what I know everywhere I go I'm a mobile
I'm a mobile
Hanging from the ceiling lifes a mobile spinning round
with mixed feelings crazy and wild ...
sometimes I wanna SCREAM OUT LOUD ....
Everythings changing
everywhere I go
All out of my control
Everythings changing
everywhere I go out of what I know
la la la la la la (la la)
la la la la la la (la la)

Take Me There
If we leave behind all the pain we know,
Im sure wed find.
Something deep inside,
Look ahead youll see,
Its all in time.
I can feel your love,
Do you feel me?
All Im dreaming of I believe in.
(CHORUS)
Can you take me there forever?
Ive been waiting for the longest time.
Something we could share together,
Oh baby can you take me there?
If we still believe in the hands of fate,
Fate and destiny.
Very soon well see oh the power of love,

One Day
CHORUS:
One day you'll see that you be
Who you wanted to be
Meet who you wanted to meet
Just one day you'll see
And one day you'll see that you
Feel what you wanted to feel
Meet who you wanted to see
Just one day you're free
Once again it's the R.O.C.K.
So check what I gotta say as we go my way
Get ready for a journey an expedition
Just listen or you will be missin'
A lot of times I know you feel like giving up
But listen up everybody while you move that body
I got a story to tell so listen well
Only you can be you when it's time to excel
Many might try but you don't know the reason why
They might deny they don't want you to fly
So you gotta move on and show 'em
You got it goin' on and on plus your mind is strong
Now this is how I get busy on the daily
I kept this in mind so you suckers can't fake me
Rise and surprise everybody like me
Cause one day you will see you will be how you wanna be
Repeat Chorus
I remember days when people used to say
Stop wasting time and find another way
They never understood no they never took time
That the R.O.C.K. was born for the rhymes
I kept my mind focused and I went for my direction
Microphone checkin' was my only selection
My eyes on the prise I was on the rise
Everytime you see me now you wanna say hi
You don't even know who I am
So take all your plans and scram
You don't understand
2 brothers On The 4th Floor with only one sister
Wanna make moves yo just like a twister
So if you're with me raise your hands in the air
And wave 'em side to side like you just don't care
Rise and surprise everybody like me
Cause one day you will see you will be how you wanna be

Frogs in chorus
The chorus frogs in the big lagoon
Would sing their songs to the silvery moon.
Tenor singers were out of place,
For every frog was a double bass.
But never a human chorus yet
Could beat the accurate time they set.
The solo singer began the joke;
He sang, "As long as I live I'll croak,
Croak, I'll croak,"
And the chorus followed him: "Croak, croak, croak!"
The poet frog, in his plaintive tone,
Sang of a sorrow was all his own;
"How shall I win to my heart's desire?
How shall I feel my spirit's fire?"
And the solo frog in his deepest croak,
"To fire your spirit," he sang, "eat coke,
Coke, eat coke,"
And the chorus followed him: "Coke, coke, coke!"
The green frog sat in a swampy spot
And he sang the song of he knew not what.
"The world is rotten, oh cursed plight,
That I am the frog that must set it right.
How shall I scatter the shades that lurk?"
And the old man bullfrog sang, "Get work,
Work, get work,"
And the chorus followed him: "Work, work, work!"
The soaring spirits that fain would fly
On wings of hope to the starry sky
Must face the snarls of the jealous dogs,
For the world is ruled by its chorus frogs.

When I Dream At Night
I have been in love
and been alone
I have traveled over many miles
to find a home
there's that little place
inside of me
that I never thought could
take control of everything
but now I just spend all my time
with anyone
who makes me feel
the way she does
[Chorus:]
'Cause I only feel alive
when I dream at night
even though she's not real
it's all right
'cause I only feel alive
when I dream at night
every move that she makes
holds my eyes
and I fall for her every time
I've so many things I want to say
I'll be ready when
the perfect moment
comes my way
I had never known
what's right for me
'til the night
she opened up my heart
and set it free
But now I just spend all my time
with anyone
who makes me feel
the way she does
[Repeat Chorus]
Now I just spend all my time
with anyone
who makes me feel
the way she does

Stupid, Stoned & Dumb
My baby said she don't want to see my face
She kicked me right on out of her place
Now I'm back with the band and my girl is long gone
She broke my heart bad so I wrote down this song
I'm about as sad as they come
yeah, I'm stupid, stoned and dumb
I'm a pretty pitiful sight
Lately I can't get myself right
Boys, I can't get this girl out of my head
I just know she's got another man in her bed
They said, "Bret, let us give you some advice --
In Hollywood, love don't come easy, it comes at a price"
Chorus
So your girlfriend is a dancer and she makes love for money
Used to get it free we really think you're lucky
Loves a two way street you got hit by the bus
Don't break your heart or you'll end up like us
So you got dumped
Don't feel ashamed
We got a little something
something gonna ease your pain
So I toke and I snort and I smoke and I sniff
By the way, what day is this?
Chorus (x2)
You're a natural born loser don't you understand
That's why you're born to sing in a rock and roll band
Born to feel the pain and write sad songs
With losers like us this is where you belong
Chorus
Solo
The band was making it big, I was making the scene
Drive big cars and making some green
Wrote a big hit; a number one song
But by then my girl was long gone

Heavy Rain
Heavy rain, lightning too
Heavy rain, when Im with you
Seems like a thousand years
Since we both felt free
Weve seen a million faces
All staring at you and me
But just like humphrey bogart said
Before he passed out on his bed
Heres looking at you kid
And the rocky road ahead
Heavy rain, lightning too
Heavy rain when Im with you
You know the thunder comes like a lions roar
But it leaves me now
When you walk out the door
Listen to that northern wind
Its singing a sad old song
A melody so sick and tired
Been blowing much too long
Aint it time to feel the weather change
You know its overdue
Love is gone, we cant go on
Pretending old is new
Rain down
And the daylight comes
As a sweet surprise
Heavy rain
Filling up my eyes
Heavy rain

A Love Song
Why do people cry
When they hear the word goodbye
In a love song?
Tears are sure to fall
When you know they gave it all
In a love song.
Somehow two lovers get a chance
At a beautiful romance
And you wish it could be you.
'Cause everybody's needing
What the singers all are singing
In a love song.
It can tear you apart
'Cause a word can break a heart
In a love song.
They say all the things you feel
And they make it sound so real
In a love song.
It seems that everything they say
Is said in such a way
That we believe it's true.
'Cause everybody's needing
What the singers all are singing
In a love song.
Each of us know
There's no guarantee
We'll ever find love.
And in the songs that we share
The heartache is there
To remind us.
New love brings a thrill
And we know it always will
In a love song.
Happiness can leave
But it helps if we believe
In a love song.
There's a part of you and me
In every memory
That tells us who we are.
And everybody's needing.

In colors red and gold they set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam ..in our eyes

Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud.
Killing the blues
I am guilty of something
I hope you never do because there is nothing
Sadder than losing .. yourself in love

Now, you ask me just to leave you
To go out on my own and get what I need to
