Have You Never Been Mellow
(farrar)
There was a time when I was in a hurry as you are
I was like you
There was a day when I just had to tell my point of view
I was like you
Now I dont mean to make you frown
No, I just want you to slow down
Have you never been mellow?
Have you never tried to find a comfort from inside you?
Have you never been happy just to hear your song?
Have you never let someone else be strong?
Running around as you do with your head up in the clouds
I was like you
Never had time to lay back, kick your shoes off, close your eyes
I was like you
Now youre not hard to understand
You need someone to hold your hand
Have you never been mellow?
Have you never tried to find a comfort from inside you?
Have you never been happy just to hear your song?
Have you never let someone else be strong?

Ill Be Mellow When Im Dead
I dont care about your karma
I dont care about whats hip
No space cadets gonna tell me what to do
I wont swim in your jacuzzi
You cant make me settle down
Id rather kick and jump and bite and scratch
And scream until Im blue
I may as well be hyper as long as Im still around
cause Ill have lots of time to be laid back
When Im six feet underground.
(chorus)
Ill be mellow when Im dead (Ill be mellow when Im dead)
Ill be mellow when Im dead (Ill be mellow when Im dead)
Ill be mellow when Im dead (Ill be mellow when Im dead)
When are you cosmic cowboys gonna get it through your heads
Ill be mellow when Im dead
Ill be mellow when Im dead
Ill be mellow when Im dead
I cant stand the smell of incense
I dont really like to jog
No joanie mitchell 8-tracks in the car (oooh)
I hate anything organic
Even health food makes me sick
You wont catch me sipping perrier
Down in some sushi bar, I tell you
Nows the time to go for all the gusto you can grab
Youll have plenty of time to be low-key
When youre laid out on the slab
(chorus)
Ow! bobcat!
I dont want no part of that vegetarian scene
I wont buy me a pair of designer jeans
No redwood hot tub to my name
I got all that I want and if its all the same to you
I dont need a course in selfawareness
To find out who I am
And Id rather have a big mac or a jumbo jack
Than all the bean sprouts in japan
Ah so dont ask me what Im into
I dont need to prove Im cool
Ill break your arm if you ask me whats my sign
I wont tell you where my heads at
I dont need to see no shrink
Psychosis may be in this year but Im really not that kind
And Im in no hurry to be casual
In fact I think Ill wait
Until Im pushing up the daisies
Like wow, man, can you relate?
Ill be mellow when Im dead
Ill be mellow when Im dead
Ill be mellow when Im dead (mellow when Im dead)
Ill be mellow when Im dead
Ill be mellow when Im dead
Ill be mellow when Im dead (mellow when Im dead)
Ill be mellow when Im dead
Ill be mellow when Im dead .....wooooowww!

Take Me To A Dream
Love of my you are
Sunlight, my shining star
All of the world to me
All I could ever need
Lately I can feel youve grown away from me
And inside I pray its not too late to find a remedy
Dont wanna live a lie
I dont wanna say goodbye
So how can I start again
And how will my heart mend
Here I am alone with only memories
So Im searching just to find a way to keep you here with me
So I close my eyes
And I go back in time
When our love was strong
Before our hearts went wrong
I keep holding on to how it used to be
So lay me down and take me to a dream
Dreams that youre holding me
Dreams that wont ever be
Visions of loving you
Wanting to make them true
I find myself believing youll come back to me
Cause Im trying not to feel the pain, that loneliness can bring
So I close my eyes
And I go back in time
When our love was strong
Before our hearts went wrong
I keep holding on to how it used to be
So lay me down and take me to a dream
Its so hard to make it through the day without you
So I pray for night to dream youre here with me, with me
So I close my eyes
And I go back in time
When our love was strong
Before our hearts went wrong
I keep holding on to how it used to be
So lay me down and take me to a dream
So lay me down and take me to a dream

Is Everybody Happy?
If I see one more smiling face in a magazine
If I see one more pretty girl on my tv screen
Everybodys pretending, futures burning real bright
All good children go to heaven, gods still on our side
Hes gonna make it up to you, hes gonna make it up to you
Baby in this life
So much pain in the faces that we wear behind the smiles
We keep too much inside, way too much inside
Baby stand up and be the one to testify
Is everybody happy? no!
Is everybody happy? no!
Is everybody happy? I dont think so
If I hear one more lover promise me everything
If I hear one more lonesome ol cowboy start to sing
Everybodys elected to carry the party song
You cant be too protected baby, you cant be too strong
Never letem get to you, never letem get to you
Baby in this life
We live in a quiet kind of desperation here
We lock it up inside, lock it up inside
Baby get on up and be the one to testify
Tell me how you feel
Is everybody happy? no!
Is everybody happy? no!
Is everybody happy? I dont think so
Is everybody happy? no!

(Something Inside) So Strong
The higher you build your barrier
The taller I become
The farther you take my rights away
The faster I will run
You can deny me
You can decide to turn your face away
No matter 'cause theres,
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though youre doing me wrong so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
Theres something inside so strong
Something inside so strong.
The more you refuse to hear my voice
The louder I will sing
You hide behind Walls of Jericho
Your lies will come tumbling
Deny my place and time
You squander wealth that's mine
My light will shine
So brightly it will blind you
Because theres,
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though youre doing me wrong so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
Theres something inside so strong
Something inside so strong.
Brothers and sisters
When they insist were just not good enough
Well we know better
Just look 'em in the eye and say
Were gonna do it anyway.
were gonna do it anyway.
We're gonna do it anyway.
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though youre doing me wrong so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
Theres something inside so strong.
Theres something inside so strong.
There's something inside so strong.
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though youre doing me wrong so wrong.

Sing Along (Sad Song)
Ive an emptiness inside
That can only be describe
As a sad song
With the paint all peeling off
All the world I used to know
Its a sad song
He gave my life a meaning
When all hope inside had die
The he took the meaning back
And left me feeling oh disillusioned
He just walked out of my world
Like youd walk out of a room
Oh you sad song
Sing along with my song
If youre lost and youre alone
Sing along if your song
Has theme of love gone wrong
Sing along and belong
Dont hold back were growing strong
Sing along sing your song
Sing your sad your sad sad song
Aint it strange the way life goes
First youre used and then disposed
Like a sad song
Saying love was just a word
Used to keep you hanging there
Like a sad song
You swallowed all those promises
So called upon you are
And following his footsteps
No matter just how far must follow
He just walked out of a room
Oh you sad song
Sing along with my song
If youre lost and youre alone
Sing along if your song
Has theme of love gone wrong
Sing along and belong
Dont hold back were growing strong
Sing along sing your song
Sing your sad you sad sad song...

When The Sinner
(m&l - kiske)
Now its time - to shake it all up to be free
Now its time - to make us some room to let us be
Oh, it feels so bad
Yes it feels so bad
When everything good looks so bad
When everything right goes so wrong
I am up - to break il all down whats in my way
I wont stop - until I am where Im gonna stay
No one holds me back
No, no one holds me back
Dont wanna be what Im not
But its gotta be be myself who breaks my neck
I look here and you look there
I know its got to be somewhere
We look around and search around
And walk around and hear around
We keep on looking till we know what for
If you dont know it, I dont know it,
We dont know it, who will know it?
All of us dont know what we sould know
Maybe one day well know
But anyway weve got to make a stop
Over my head -
Look over my head you wont see no holo
Its driving me mad -
I must hold it back inside
When the sinner searchs a sin, its all of us
When we finally search inside, its under us
We keep on looking anyway
If we dont find it who must pay
All Ive ever done Ive done for you
In my mind - the battle goes on till I give up
Will we find - the key of live we once have dropped?
Do you really care?
Tell me you really care?
You may find mr. blame
But the guilt of life burns everywhere
Give me light to see my inside,
Give me light to see my sin
Id never do what I regret
Ive never done anything bad
You must be joking when you point at me!
Hey! dont you blame me! dont you touch me!
Wont you ever leave me be?
I wanna live! dont wanna think!
Why should I give what I can drink?
Man! life is short so I take what I need
Over my head -
Look over my head you wont see no holo
Its driving me mad -
I must hold it back inside
When the sinner searchs a sin, its all of us
When we finally search inside, its under us
We keep on looking anyway
If we dont find it who must pay
All Ive ever done Ive done for you
Pain! I feel inside is such a
Shame! no one fights fair, but whos to
Blame! might be game of life bu it aint over
Now! I walk my way firm any
How! my conscience speaks and there are
Doubts! but nothings sure in life
And it aint over now!
I look here and you look there
I know its got to be somewhere
We look around and search around
And walk around and hear around
We keep on looking till we know what for
If you dont know it, I dont know it,
We dont know it, who will know it?
All of us dont know what we sould know
Maybe one day well know
But anyway weve got to make a stop
Over your head -
Look over your head you wont see no holo
Its driving you mad -
You must hold it back inside
When the sinner searchs a sin, its all of us
When we finally search inside, its under us
We keep on looking anyway

And everybody tells me do what they say
Oh Ill help myself its up to me and no-one else
But till Im ready just keep out of my way
Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out
Now everybodys got me running round, up and down
And here I am going out of my mind
But I wont lose sight of all the, the things Im looking for
Theyre coming to me and Im taking whats mine
Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out
Ill play the game
Well make the same mistakes
Its all the same
If we can give and take
Hold on, hold on, ooh
Hold on, hold on, ooh
Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out
All of my life Ive been searching and hanging on
Turning a corner, never know what Id find
But now Im back again like I never went away
Ooh let me in Im through with wasting my time

Oh inside out, oh inside out

I Want To Hear It From You
I want to hear it from you
I want to hear it from someone who knows how it is
All the second-hand words seem to get in my way
I want to hear it from you
I want to hear it again
I want to know if the soft scented touch of your lips
Must be taken away like a mothers first kiss to the life that she gives
Ive got a right to get it straight from you
To give my life a different point of view
To find a way to keep from losing you
If you dont know what to say
To understand is my life and the question is why
You should cry in the night while your eyes look away
Every time that I speak and theres nothing to say
I want to hear it from you
I want to hear it from you
Let me know how you feel
Youve got to make up your mind
Tell me where I can run
When my roof tumbles in
I want to hear it from you
I want to hear it from you

Happy On The Shelf
Put me back! don't invest in me.
Im happy where i am you see
Put me down! where i was found
Move away, just turn around
Over-rated! I think youll find
Dont kill me off by being kind
Look over there! yes go and see
I am truly, very happy here
Dont look back! im not that good
Pick someone else you really should
Dont be fooled! you dont know best
Im happy in my little nest
Whats that! look sharp, just there
Lonely, anxious, and in need of care
Superb, ideal! they need a home
Take them inside your comfort zone
Seems odd I know! but very true
Im happy here, goodluck to you
Da Na De Nee! go enjoy yourself
Im really happy on the shelf!

Singing A Love Song
Well, I may not get applause every night when I sing,
And I may not hear the cheers of a crowd.
And my voice cant always rise to make the mountains ring,
And at times I cant even sing out aloud.
But youve got me singing a love song,
Melody and rhyme;
It moves me every time.
Youve got me singing a love song,
And it keeps you on my mind, ooooh, on my mind.
Feelin fine all the time.
It keeps you on my mind.
Sometimes my voice is strained and the strings wont hold a tune.
My back is sore, and Im just too tired to try,
And I dont want to work or rest or think of you,
Or face the world or even close my eyes.
But youve got me singing a love song,
Melody and rhyme;
It moves me every time; I know that,
Youve got me singing a love song,
And it keeps you on my mind, ooooh, on my mind.
Feelin fine all the time.
It keeps you on my mind.
My broken dreams, they dont bother me,
And hard times in life I dont mind.
I think of things that Id rather see,
And you give me piece of mind.
Hard times will come and sometimes I wont wanna sing,
But Ill sing with all the love that I can find.
And Im happy there to hear me in the silence of my song.
Im gonna sing for you until the end of time.
cause youve got me singin a love song,
Melody and rhyme;
It moves me every time.
Youve got me singing a love song,
And it keeps you on my mind, ooooh, on my mind.
Feelin fine all the time.
It keeps you on my mind.
And it keeps you on my mind.
Youve got me singin a love song.
And it keeps you on my mind.
Youve got me singin a love song....

Voice Of The Heart
(j.t.stanley/john bettis/b.roberts)
Sometimes when your world seems so big and real
You may run to the shelter of walls
Sometimes you may wish
You could be like your shadow
It fits wherever it falls
Whenever the nights too deep to find
And the morning is too far away
Wherever you are
Theres always a star to guide the way
There to guide the way
If you listen long enough
If you dream it strong enough
A door inside will open
And a light will flood the dark
Like a song too long unsung
Or a soul forever young
We all will find an answer
In the voice of the heart
Tonight if a dream should come to your sleep
With a picture you dont wanna see
Go where it leads, from secret to secret
You are what you want to be
Whenever the sun refuses to shine
And you cant chase the storm clouds away
Wherever you are theres always a star to guide the way
There to guide the way
If you listen long enough
If you dream it strong enough
A door inside will open
And a light will flood the dark
Like a song too long unsung
Or a soul forever young
We all will find an answer
In the voice of the heart
Living in a private world
There are times when its hard to break through
So dont give up
Each time you hurt youve got nothing to lose
Theres a voice inside of you
If you listen long enough
If you dream it strong enough
A door inside will open
And a light will flood the dark
Like a song too long unsung
Or a soul forever young
We all will find an answer
In the voice of the heart
If you listen long enough
(listen)
If you dream it strong enough
(dream it)
A door inside will open
And a light will flood the dark
Like a song too long unsung
Or a soul forever young
We will find the answer
In the voice of the heart
If you listen long enough
(long enough)
If you dream it strong enough
(strong enough)
A door inside will open
And a light will flood the dark
Like a song too long unsung
Or a soul forever young
We will find an answer
In the voice of the heart
If you listen long enough
If you dream it strong enough
In the voice
In the voice of the heart
We will find the answer
Like a song too long unsung

Time After Time
Lying in my bed
I hear the clock ticking
And think of you
Caught up in circles
Confusion is nothing new
Flash back warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcase of memories
Time after some times you pictured me
Im walking too far ahead
Youre calling to me
I cant hear what you have said
Then you said
Go slow, I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If youre lost you can look
And you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you
Ill be waiting
Time after time
If youre lost you can look
And you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you
Ill be waiting
I turn, my picture fades
And darkness has turned to grey
Watching through windows
Youre wondering if Im ok
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time
If youre lost you can look
And you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you
Ill be waiting
Time after time
If youre lost you can look
And you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you
Ill be waiting

Far From Me
You say you want to try again, wear it down between the lines
Well, I have a better end in mind it doesnt seem to really have you
Close your eyes to see though I know you dont mean to be
You are so far from me
There was something I had caught inside screaming hard to make it go
And tied me down low, it doesnt seem you really have to
Close you eyes to see, youve been all youll be to me
Though I know you dont mean to be, its just too late
And we cant relate at all
This is the last time I wanna say so long
This song is my last song for you
Theres just nothing here to hold on to
Baby, nothing to hold on to

Take Me Down
Words and music by j.p. pennington and mark gray
Fly away with me tonight.
Take me on a one-way flight in your lovin arms, and evrythings gonna be alright.
Youre the one who took my hand when no one else could understand.
Youre the one who moves me like nobody else can.
Chorus:
Take me down where I wanna be.
Turn around, the man who lives inside of me.
Take me down and love me all night long.
Hold me close and make me strong.
Take me down. take me down tonight.
In your eyes I see the light.
Its your emotions glowin bright.
So keep the fires burnin, and let it warm me through the night.
You can be a part of me, cause youre what love was meant to be.
You and me, baby, well set the flame inside free.
Chorus
You dont have to stay forever
Lets just put our hearts together, share another night in ecstasy.
We know that its feelin better evry time we get together.
Maybe love was meant for you and me. whoa, take me down
Where I wanna be.
Turn around, the man who lives inside of me.
Take me down and love me all night long.
Hold me close and make me strong.
Take me down. take me down tonight.
Take me down tonight. take me down tonight. take me down tonight.

Only The Strong Survive
When the pressures on and youre all alone
Take a little ride into the danger zone
When the moon is up and the skies are clear
Just show me a sign and well be outa here
Take me up on a wing and a prayer
If you need a friend you know Ill be there
Hound dogs howlin all through the night
Eight miles high and Im doin alright
Better move over cause youre goin too slow
I feel the need for freedom now its time to go
Its a fine line between pleasure and pain
Let your conscience be your guide til we meet again
Your time has come - you can stand or you can run
But dont keep it all inside
Cause you gotta understand that there aint no second chance
No-one gets outa here alive - only the strong survive
Tearin it up goin down the track
Gonna fly so high, I might never come back
If things get tough you can count me in
Cause if you play the game you gotta play to win
Take me up where only angels can fly
If you need a helpin hand I wont pass you by
Your time has come - you can stand or you can run
But dont keep it all inside
Cause you gotta understand that there aint no second chance
No-one gets outa here alive - only the strong survive
Solo
Take me up on a wing and a prayer
If you need someone you know Ill be there
Your time has come - you can stand or you can run
But dont keep it all inside
Cause you gotta understand that there aint no second chance
No-one gets outa here alive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Well Im doin what I can - you gotta understand

Photograph
Fear falls out like rain again
Washing over me
You say nothing will ever change
What do I believe
You fall deep inside again
There's nothing left to see
Weakness fills your heart again
You put it to rest
Hoping everything
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up
I try to see your face again
A photograph of me
Your voice calling out again
Nothing left for me
You try to find your place again
Waiting just to breathe
Weakness takes your heart again
You put it to rest
Locked inside again
Locked inside again
Locked inside again
Hoping everything
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up
Hoping everything
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up
Did you
Forget about the things I said
Right the lies inside your head
I never tried to bring you down
Kill the pain and emptiness
Find your love and lose yourself
Well I hope that your just a memory
Locked inside again
Locked inside again
Locked inside again
Holding everything
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up
Hoping everything
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up

Time After Time
From Clockstoppers Soundtrack.
Cyndi Lauper cover song.
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And I think of you
Caught up in circles confusion
Is nothing new
Flashback warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories,
Time after
Sometimes you picture me
And I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, and I can't hear
What you've said
Then you say go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows you're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
You said go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting

Feel It From Inside

Feel it from inside, this mellow feeling
Theres no need to hide, this mellow feeling
Walk dont run, take your chance now it has come
Take it slow, old on tight, dont let it go
Have you thought
This is love
If it is
You should

This is true, now you step into the new
Play for time to come, if theres that special reason
Do you love

Needing to share it with somebody else
Then only then will you find the warmth of love

If I Cannot Be With You
If I cannot be with you
and time keeps moving along
then I wish for you to hear me
by listening to my song,
That alone would be a comfort
to know that in your ear
my music would caress you
just from what you hear.
If I cannot be with you
and time is running out
then I wish for you to see me
for then I'd have no doubt
that I'm a vision you can't forget.
Let me be a picture in your mind
of when we two first met,
a picture you can always find.
