Primitive Notion
It doesnt take a lot to confuse me
Im not aware of the passing of time
And Id like to say to those who accuse me
Could you do it while you looked in my eye
If you hold on primitive notion
And if you think youd like to try
You can drink this magic potion
And you can do it til the day that you the day that you die
Ive done it before and Ill do it again
A judgement of life that Ill burn til the end
How can it be that were so far apart
I want it to be like it did at the start
Im doing my best to confound? you
Your behaviour is so volatile
Not even a zoo would impound you
Dont look at me with your criticle smile
Well Ive been driving in the wrong gear
Its been a long and lonely ride
Its been winter for a whole year
But you couldnt hurt me if you tried
Ive done it before and Ill do it again
Charged with a life thatll burn til the end
How can it be that were so far apart
I want it to be like it did at the start
Ive done it before and Ill do it again
A judgement of life that Ill burn til the end
How can it be that were so far apart
I want it to be like it did at the start
Ive got a message that I need to send
Its coming to you straight from a friend
I wanted to see whats inside my heart
I wanted to be like it was in the start

Burn The School Down
She said
I lost my best friend last week at school
He got shot
Someone thought that he was part of something that
He was not
Now I'm watching all the cheerleaders show just how sad they are
When my friend used to come 'round
They used to laugh and egg his car
Now I'm gonna do my part as a concerned citizen
I think we should burn the school down
And start again
Burn it
'Till there's nothing left
Burn it
Just like all the rest
Burn it
Clear up all this mess
Burn it down
Education for the nation
Kids retaliate on each station
Expectation, violation
Pressure increased in each generation
Burn the school down
Burn the school down
Burn the school down, she said
Burn the school down
Burn the school down
Burn the school down, start again
'Cause now what I want to know
Will the eyes inside the back of your mind let it go?
Now all I want to know
Will the eyes inside the back of your mind let it go?
She says
I want to feel more comfort in my own skin
But everyone around me makes me feel like
I'm worth less than them
Burn the school down
Burn the school down
Burn the school down, she said
Burn the school down
Burn the school down
Burn the school down, start again
Burn it
'Till there's nothing left
Burn it
Just like all the rest
Burn it
Clear up all this mess
Burn it down
'Cause now what I want to know
Will the eyes inside the back of your mind let it go?
Now all I want to know
Will the eyes inside the back of your mind let it go?
Now all I want to know
Will the eyes inside the back of your mind let it go?

Will the eyes inside the back of your mind let it go?
Burn the school down

Burn the school down, right?

Start to Love
Gotta start to love
Gotta start to love
In the beginning you were all about me....
Now it seems you have no time for me....
You gotta start to love, You gotta start to love
Start to love, Start to love, Start to love
You seem so far away................... So far away
I wanted you to stay....
Like the water, by the sand.............
I need you to hold my hand...........
Dreaming of another land............. Dont leave my side........
You gotta start to love, You gotta start the love
You gotta start to love, You gotta start to love
Start to love, Start to love, Start to love
You seem so far away................... So far away
I wanted you to stay....
Wonder if you will ever come back to me?
Where did the love go? I want it like it used to be............
You gotta start the love, You gotta start to love
Start to love, Start to love, Start to love
You seem so far away................... So far away
I wanted you to stay....

Dont Start Me On The Liquor
Dont start me on the liquor
Ill drink it all down straight
Ill make a toast to love
But I drink the most
When I got somebody to hate
Im an old man
I got an old mans pain
Will the morning
Will the morning ever come again
Well, Im likin lickin a lotta liquor
Im drivin down the drink
Ill take a toast to life
But I drink the most
When my devil start to think
Im an old man
I got an old mans pain
Will the morning
Will the morning ever come again
Oh, I could drink, drink, drink
So I cant think, think, think
I got a hope or a home
In this life Im all alone
On this long cold lonely night of fright
Followed by a lonely day
til theres nothing left I can say
Except I didnt know I was sick
And so I got sicker
Hes a low down lying
Peckerwood cotton picker
Dont start me on the liquor
I got nothing more to say
I had a little money
But it all flown away
And I said oh man
Oh, aint that a shame
Oh, I keep manin, I keep manin
Like I got an old mans pain
Dont
Dont start
Dont start me
Dont start me on
Dont start me on the
Dont start me on the liquor.

New Beginning
The whole worlds broke and it aint worth fixing
Its time to start all over, make a new beginning
Theres too much pain, too much suffering
Lets resolve to start all over make a new beginning
Now dont get me wrong - I love life and living
But when you wake up and look around at everything thats going down -
All wrong
You see we need to change it now, this world with too few happy endings
We can resolve to start all over make a new beginning
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over
The world is broken into fragments and pieces
That once were joined together in a unified whole
But now too many stand alone - theres too much separation
We can resolve to come together in the new beginning
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over
We can break the cycle - we can break the chain
We can start all over - in the new beginning
We can learn, we can teach
We can share the myths the dream the prayer
The notion that we can do better
Change our lives and paths
Create a new world and
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over
The whole worlds broke and it aint worth fixing
Its time to start all over, make a new beginning
Theres too much fighting, too little understanding
Its time to stop and start all over
Make a new beginning
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over
We need to make new symbols
Make new signs
Make a new language
With these well define the world
And start all over
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over ...

Start A New Life
Go home, pretender
I think this is the end here
Its been a long time decidin
But I think Ive found the right end.
Youre gonna go away, start a new life
Forget today, start a new life
Start a new life.
Hopes crushed and battered
But you laugh as if it didnt matter
This joke is gonna turn blue
And I wont be there to hold you.
Youre gonna go away, start a new life
Forget today, start a new life
Start a new life.
Go home, debater
It was soon and now its later
And thats only a piece of paper
So dont you stand there a-laughin and a-wavin it.
Youre gonna go away, start a new life
Forget today, start a new life
Start a new life.

Straight From The Heart
(bryan adams/ eric kagna)
Producer for bonnie: jim steinman
I could start dreaming but it never ends
As long as youre gone we may as well pretend
Ive been dreaming
And thats straight from the heart
You said its easy but whos to say
That wed be able to keep it this way
But its easier
Coming straight from the heart
Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know Ill never go
As long as I know
Its coming straight from the heart
Ill see you on the street some other time
But all our words will just fall out of line
While were dreaming
Straight from the heart
Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know Ill never go
As long as I know
Its coming straight from the heart
Instrumental
Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know Ill never go
As long as lknow
Its coming straight from the heart
Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know Ill never go
As long as I know
Its coming straight from the heart
You know Ill never go
As long as I know
Its coming straight from the heart
You know Ill never go
As long as I know
Its coming straight from the heart

No Lookin Back
Im fading out of sight
My wheels are the only sound
Runnin at the speed of a light
n I cant slow down now
Out on an open road
Racin to beat the night
No matter where Im goin
I guess Ill get alright
So why dont I understand
Whats trippin me up?
It oughta be a simple thing
Chorus:
I cant hold on
n I cant return
Its time to let go
n start to live and learn
I took a one-way flight
Too high to see the ground
Now I know how long it takes
A heart to come down
Alone on the highway now
Takin it mile by mile
Id rather be a lonely man
Than an imprisoned child
So why do I feel the strain
That keeps trippin me up
Will it ever be a simple thing
Chorus:
I cant hold on
And I cant return
Rivers will run
n bridges will burn
I cant say just how
But theres no lookin back now
Bridge:
When everything fades away
And theres nothing left
Then you got to keep rememberin
Chorus:
I wont slow down
n I cant return
Its time to let go
n start to live and learn
So why dont I understand
Whats trippin me up?
Well it oughta be a simple thing
I cant hold on
n I cant return
Rivers will run
n bridges will burn
I cant say just how
But theres no lookin back now
I wot slow down
n I cant return
As night turns to dawn
The pages will burn
I cant say just how
But theres no lookin back now
I cant hold on
n I cant reurn
Its time to let go
n start to live and learn

Cant Get Much Better
Words and music:: paul dean, steve tracey, todd carney, taylor rhodes,,
Mike perodeau
Its been a long time in the makin
We always knew that we could reach this place
Sometimes its hard to find a reason to run
Well still be standin at the end of the race
Nobody said it would be easy
Sometimes its hard to keep your dreams alive
Its so close we can taste it, counting the nights
With my eyes wide open, for the power drive
We will rock, we wont stop
Better get ready, cause ready or not
So hold on, to what we got, hold on
Burn down to the ground, we got a volatile situation
Were gonna rock tonight, were gonna get it right
Cause it couldnt be better
Burn down to the ground, were gonna violate our probation
Were gonna rock tonight, were gonna get it right
Cause it couldnt be better
It couldnt be better
It cant get much better than this
Oh no, it cant get much better
Oh no, it cant get much better than this
Why dont you meet me after midnight
Were gonna ride that electric high
Its now or never, and the time is right
Turn up the power, well split the sky tonight
We will rock, we wont stop
Better get ready, cause ready or not
So hold on, to what we got, hold on
Burn down to the ground, we got a volatile situation
Were gonna rock tonight, were gonna get it right
Cause it couldnt be better
Burn down to the ground, were going to violate
Our probation
Were gonna rock tonight, were gonna get it right
Cause it couldnt be better, it couldnt be better
It cant get much better than this
Oh no, it cant get much better
Oh no, it cant get much better
(solo)
Burn down to the ground, we got a volatile situation
Were gonna rock tonight, were gonna get it right
Cause it couldnt be better
Burn down to the ground, were going to violate
Our probation
Were gonna rock tonight, were going to gel it right
Cause it couldnt be better
It couldnt be better
It cant get much better than this
It cant get much better
It cant get much better
It cant get much better
It cant get much better than this

The Bum
I thought about
Leaving but I couldnt even get outta bed
Im hangin cause I couldnt get a ride outta town
Now anyone who really wanted me to be down
Come round
Thought about
Singin but I couldnt remember all of the words
Breakin but I couldnt get the pieces apart
Laughin never knowing what the joke was about
Now Im down
And I wonder how I never got the burn
And if Im ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time
Forgot about
Everything and everyone I needed before
Tryin to get a handle on a reason to shine
Pickin up the pieces that are falling behind takes time
So I wonder how I never got the burn
And if Im ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time and still shine
And I wonder how I never got the burn
And if Im ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time
And I wonder how I never got the burn
And if Im ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time and still shine

I Wanted To Start The Day With A Poem
I wanted to start the day with a poem
I heard instead a blessing for washing my hands
I wanted to start the day with a poem
“My eyes are lifted to the hills
From whence cometh my help”
I wanted to start the day with a poem
“Never did sun more beautifully steep in its first splendor
Valley rock or hill”
I wanted to start the day with a poem-
So I stopped and listened again
And waited to hear myself from inside
While my eyes were enraptured by the everyday light of things
I wanted to start the day with a poem
And the day started without me
And the poem said itself quietly
And waited while I happily wrote it down.

Dont Let Our Love Start Slippin Away
Weve been up
All night long
Trying to solve a problem
Hell its almost dawn
Aint no time for sleepin
If our love is wearin thin
cause I aint givin up
And you aint givin in
Dont let our love start slippin
Love start slippin away
cause the life weve been livin
Gets harder everyday
Dont let our love start slippin
Love start slippin away
A wounded love
Walks a real thin line
And no communication
Will kill it every time
So open up your heart
Baby we can work it out
cause weve got the kind of love
People dream about
Dont let our love start slippin
Love start slippin away
cause the life weve been livin
Gets harder everyday
Dont let our love start slippin
Love start slippin away
Its past the point of right or wrong
Lets find a way to just hold on

Another Life
People's eyes say I'm no damn good
Shut down
And left lonely,
Only with the maybe we could
I stay inside because I'm misunderstood
I can't get no release
I'm shell-shocked
Once it never goes
A stranger to the people
I know who used to say,
"He never had a damn day"
Now I'm holding on to a candle-lit ghost
And silence brings no peace
But there's another life
Through a window pane
And I don't know why
I got a will to burn
You knock rumors at the shoppin' door
(Shoppin door)
Seven weeks, maybe seven more
(Seven more)
It's like a faceless seven-headed whore
The fight's knocked out of me
There's no measure for grief
And I confided with the sound
Break down
Great god of the hand-me-down
Opened the past around
Won a pepper, lost and found
The colors all turn to gray
Wait a minute in
Coming back from a down day, color wise
The city's playing a double feature today
And life is long, and something is wrong
But I wanna know what's going on and on
In another life
Cause it's good again
And we will never die
I've got a will to burn
To see you again
It's like another life
It's like a napkin pattern
A will to burn
(Do do do do do wooo)
Oh well time goes by
And I realize that I'm all right
You thought nothing would be the same
Then life comes 'round again
Equipped with set off prurience
And I'm caught up in what you say
And you make me count the time
Before it slips away
I can't stay and I cannot wait
And I'm greatful to with surpass the graveyard gate
The flickered flame is getting stronger
Like when the days start getting longer
I've got the rhythm down now, in the places we would
The Golden Gate is like my diving board
And life is pointless,
But what's so wrong with that?
Cause there's another life
And a sweeter pain
And we will never die
We've got a will to burn
To see you again
It's like another life
I feel the whole thing happen
The will to burn
To see you again
It's like another life
I got another life
I got another life (woooo...)

Judgement Day
There will come a time when everything will have to end
When all the wrong youve done will be your only friend
and as the clock runs down you start to lose control
No one can save you now because you sold your soul
God wants to know - what you thin think youre doing
God wants to know - what is it youve done
God wants to know - did you hear the warning
I want to know - will I be the one?
chorus:
Judgement days here - now its time to meet your maker
Judgement days here - heaven or hell one will take ya
Judgement days here - think about the life youve led
Judgement days here - yeah! yeah!
Why do you try to hide, you cant escape your past
Youre not the first to sin and you will not be the last
Just do for others what you want done back to you
Cause if youre positive, God will see you through
Pre-chorus
The time is coming and the world is gonna blow
and only God decides exactly where well go
take my advice and listen to the words I say
If you live righteous then your life will be okay

Its winter time in the middle of the spring
I cant believe it, loneliness is calling me
And I can hear it
See I never thought Id feel this way
So soon, no...
There is something that I know I have to do
Start again
And this time Ill make it better than before
I start again
For the second time around
Ill do much more, yeah...
Cause I refuse to let life
Ill pick the pieces up
And start again, yeah
Other roads, yeah
Oh this time I must be carefu
Lwhen I choose them
See love was for the taking
But I refused it
I never thought
It cut so deep inside me
Oh no...

And this time Ill make it better than before, yeah
Start again
For the second time around
Ill do much more, yeah...

Your Hero
I wanted to be your hero
To cure your dying heart
I figured all you needed
Was just a clean new start
So I helped you put the past behind
And begin your life anew
What I never counted on
Was falling in love with you
It made things complicated
Things just couldn't work out
I saw you start to falter
I felt you start to doubt
I wanted to be your hero
To take away your hurt
I didn't mean to bury you
Under 6 feet of dirt

Over Our Heads
I don't think you love me
Confusion settling in
I don't think I'll be staying
Around here, anymore
There's no question that I love you
But I'm living in my own time
And here I am debating
Whether I'm wrong, or right
Who am I
To make a judgement of
Your life
I'm only
Passing by
Passing by
All the promises I gave you
Helped me to survive
And all the times I wished you'd save me
You were the love of my life
Who am I
To make a judgement of
Your life
I'm only
Passing by
Passing by
Who am I
To make a judgement of

Watch It Burn
Lighting the money up, watching it burn.
Oh the pleasure I get from destroying something that was earned with so much blood and sweat.
So dirty, so greedy.
Always a give me more.
Another hand out.
Lets start lighting the money up, watch it burn.
Welcome to the world that has been.
Backwards to front.
Its sideways again.
Its a constant hindrance on society.
Shove it in our mouths right through the front teeth.
Tell us whats fair, as we shiver from the chill in the air.
The words bring as much despair.
Hide it all in your lair.
Protect yourself from the snare that was set for you and just you.
Lets start lighting the money, watch it burn.
Feed the furnace.
Better then buying the lies built around it.
Oh Satan you evil creature, divulge your secrets.
How do you blind so many in such a mass proportions.
The great distortion.
The master of illusions.
Lets start lighting the money, watch it burn.
Building a huge bonfire, burying our dark desires.
Moving on, if we are not already too far gone.
Resting our heads with one eye open cause we cant quite call this home. Sometimes your better off alone.
As time passes will it get better or worse.
Am I cursed.
Did some voodoo happen while I wasn't looking.
Was it something that's been brewing and has been a long time coming.
A disease with no end in sight.
Time to make things right.
Lets just burn all the money in sight

Bring Back The Magic
Bring back the magic
By: jimmy buffett, will jennings
1988
Inspired by a noel rockmore painting entitled ride of the beachcombers. I bought the painting and sat with it for a morning in new orleans and let it and the town talk to me.
Chorus:
Nothing can tear you apart
If you keep livin straight from the heart
Though you know that youre gonna to hurt some
The magic will come
If you keep livin straight from the heart
You will know when to stop and to start
Once you see that no one really wins
Then the magic begins
Bring back the magic
Dont make life so tragic
Bring back the magic
Dont make life so tragic
Beachcombers ride
Oh children lost in the tide
Times never at their command
Waves melt all castles of sand
Melt all castles of sand
Bring back the magic
Dont make life so tragic
Bring back the magic
Dont make life so tragic
Red sky at night
Oh, such a sailors delight
Red sky at dawn
Oh-oh-oh, gypsy songs comin on
Gypsy songs comin on, songs comin on
Chorus:
Nothing can tear you apart
If you keep livin straight from the heart
Though you know that youre gonna to hurt some
The magic will come
If you keep livin straight from the heart
You will know when to stop and to start
Once you see that no one really wins
Then the magic begins
Bring back the magic
Dont make life so tragic
Bring back the magic
Dont make life so tragic
Bring back the magic
Dont make life so tragic
Bring back the magic
Dont make life so tragic
You got to bring back, bring back, bring back the magic
Bring back, bring back, bring back the magic
Bring back, bring back, bring back the magic
Bring back, bring back, bring back the magic
