Candy From Strangers
Summers come and gone,
Billy faded like the sun,
Mommy wants him back where he belongs.
Waiting by the phone,
Billy please come home.
(CHORUS)
Open up your eyes,
Walking into danger.
Happens every time,
Children look for saviors.
(But I fall) for candy from strangers.
Lisa lost her way,
Walking home from school today.
The headlines read that only books remained.
Daddys little girl, vanished from his world.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(But I fall)
Summers come again,
With wounds that never mend
(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)

One More Chance
(john lang, richard page, steve george)
Whenever my mind sees you girl
I think of the times we owned the world
Crazy in love I missed the signs
I just couldnt see
I never believed you were leavin my life
(chorus # 1)
Baby give us one more chance
So we can love again
Theres a time for love, a time to heal
Now its time for us to mend
(chorus # 2)
Baby give us one more chance
Let me come back home
I dont wanna run the endless road
Or fight this world alone
You were the diamond in my life
You were the only star in sight
Playin against the odds I lost
All that I had
Oh what was the cost of you leavin my life
(repeat chorus # 1)
(repeat chorus # 2)
Give us one more chance
Its all that we need
To let the heartache mend girl
And make a love once broken
Strong again

Pretty blond hair singing as she walks
China-like smile bitchin' as she talks
Dangerous eyes on a small town girl
Seen everything all around the world
If i could only let her see my way
Maybe we should spin a watch all day
In a place far away from here

Killing The Blues
Leaves were falling ..just like embers
In colors red and gold they set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam ..in our eyes
Chorus:
Somebody said they saw me
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
Repeat chorus:
Repeat chorus:
Now, you ask me just to leave you
To go out on my own and get what I need to
You want me to find ..what Ive already had

Billy The Bum
Billy the bum lived by the thumb
And sang of the hobos delight
Hed prove he could run
Twice as fast as the sun
By losing his shadow at night
Now he loved every girl
In this curly headed world
But no one will know it seems
For two twisted legs and a childhood disease
Left billy just a bum in his dreams
Chorus:
And he was just a gentle boy
A real florescent light
Cried pennies on sunday morning
Laughs nickels on saturday night
And your bullets they cant harm him
Nor your knives tear him apart
Humiliation killed him
God bless his little heart
Now he lived all alone
In a run down home
Near the side of the old railroad track
Where the trains used to run
Carrying freight by the ton
And blow the whistle as billyd wave back
But the children around billys home town
Seemed to have nothin better to do
Then run around his house
With their tongues from their mouth
And make fun of that cripped old fool
(repeat chorus)
Now some folks they wait
And some folks they pray
For jesus to rise up again
But none of these folks
In their holy cloaks
Ever took billy on as a friend
For pitys a crime
And it aint worth a dime
To a person whos really in need
Just treat em the same
As you would your own name
Next time that your heart starts to bleed
(repeat chorus)

Danger
Dont talk to strangers
Keep away from the danger
Dont talk to strangers who smile
Keep away from the danger all the time
You just keep away
Red lights are flashin
Theres been a misunderstandin
Im bruised, broke an bandaged
Through drinkin all that brandy
I was under the table
But I came back for more
Gotta hit the bottle
But my head hit the floor
Chorus:
Danger - danger, dont talk to strangers
Stranger - danger, dont you talk
Danger - danger, dont talk to strangers
Danger - danger, dont talk keep away
Red lights still flashin
People all still dancin in my head
Ive done with thinkin about what to do
Another night of drinkin, just one before Im through
I was just raisin hell
I wasnt doin no harm
The cops could not appreciate
My natural charm

I'm a Fool
got nothing to loose this time
and i'm bored with the same old lines
i never know what to do or what to say to you
one look and you'll knock me out
you put me on the floor with a ten count
i don't wanna make a scene i gotta make you see
that i've been waiting for a girl like you
and i know there's nothing i could do
[chorus:]
don't wanna make you hurt
don't wanna make you feel
like the world ain't on your side
like you're never gonna get it right
no i can't fight i can't sleep at night
just thinking about you girl
i'm a fool for you
yes i am
you've been on my mind
since i saw you walking by
i knew i had to know you better you were everything
but i didn't know what to say
so you just walked away
i couldn't believe what a fool i was to let you go
cause that i've been waiting for a girl like you
and i know there's nothing i could do
[repeat chorus]
yeah
then i saw you at the beach talking with my friends
i couldn't believe my eyes it was my lucky day
so i just asked you out to the Forum to see No Doubt
when you said you would go i thought i might explode
cause that i've been waiting for a girl like you
and i know there's nothing i could do
[repeat chorus 2x]
yes i am
i am a fool for you
yes i am
i am

She Comes Round
First verse:
She, she belongs to me
But she doesnt know it
She comes walking down the street
She dont notice me
Chorus:
And she comes round
She know how to turn me inside out
Inside out, upside down
Shes got the bomb
Im twisted metal tongue
When I get around you
I stutter incomplete
I cant keep a beat

She comes round my door
She gets me everytime
She doesnt even notice me
When she goes walking by

Sorrow About To Fall
Theres a silence in the city
Theres nobody around
And everyone that we knew
Moved to higher ground.
Theres a shadow hanging overhead
It lingers there alone
Changing all we ever knew
The changes start to show.
Chorus:
Theres a sorrow about to fall
Theres a sorrow about to fall.
Theres a new sound in the wires
And ears are to the ground
And everything that once was ours
Has slowly turned around.
Something happened to the seasons
Started falling with the rain
And something changed forever
We gotta find a way.
Repeat chorus
Theres people in the photographs
But they all had to run
They went away to somewhere
Beyond the setting sun.
Repeat chorus

Sorrow about to fall, fall, fall, fall
Sorrow about to fall
Sorrow about to fall

One Man
Its a peaceful thing to know that freedom as a rule belongs to me
Theres something very wrong when the color of a man is all you see
After all this time how can a single voice explain
Any reason for the pain we all have seen
Its not a dream
Chorus:
One man stood tall
And faced the devil with his back to the wall
And took one step closer to heaven above
So he took a stand and walked where no one else would dare to even try
It was the only way
If not for bravery, the soul would surely die
And right before my eyes he gave his life unselfishly
So that all the fathers children could be free
Like you and me
Repeat chorus
Before his work is done
Weve got to put an end to this game of choosing sides
I want us to be one
And I wont let it go till its over
Im here waiting
Repeat chorus
Im waiting, waiting

Waiting For The Bell To Ring
Astley/west
Do you believe it what the papers say?
Theyre driving me insane they push me over my limit
Do you believe it they catch me every time?
It ought to be a crime. wo, the things they say
There ought to be a reason for turning black to white
Sometimes get the feeling that its done to spite
They dont need a reason to turn your world around
(chorus)
Im waiting for the bell to ring
I want the children to sing
And Im waiting for the bad man to fall
Im just about done with it all
Do you believe it, when politicians talk
And make, make the people walk into the fire
Do, you concede, is there no reprieve
From their power game, I know theres someone to blame
We ought to be forgiven for taking in their words
They dont even write them now is that absurd
They dont need a reason to tear your world apart
(repeat chorus)
And Im just about done with it all
With it all
And Im waiting, you know Im waiting
For the angels to sing for the freedom it brings
For the bad man to fall
When the children call, I want the angels to sing
And Im just about done with it all
And Im waiting for the bell to ring
I want the children to sing
And Im waiting for the bad man to fall
Im done with it all
(repeat chorus)

Please Come Home
It must have been about a 100 years
At least a hundred years
I wish you would just come back
Just come back home
The day we met feels like 100 years ago
And Im still waiting with my hand right by the telephone
Yeah maybe where you are you cannot make that call
Or you cant find the pen I know its not your fault
CHORUS
My friends think Im insane
Cause I've turned old and gray
And Im still waiting and I cannot be alone
Please come home (please come home)
I watch the clock hands tick my hours turn to days
And I cant fall asleep cause I don't want to miss that ring
I know that this year your car will park outside
But I can't put my arms around the girl who took my life
REPEAT CHORUS
Its been so long
Its been about 100 years
And a million dreams since the last time
Ive seen your pretty face I would do whatever it takes
I would wait another 100 years
And if that didnt work
Maybe Ill try and see what forever feels like
But until then and I know you hear me
And whatever your doing wherever you are please come home
That day we met feels like 100 years ago
And Im still waiting for you
Baby baby wont you please come home
Please come home
Wont you please come home
Please come home
Wont you please come home (Please come home)

Shangri-la
Sitting here, waiting for,
Someone calling at my door,
Too bad,
Im getting out of love.
Whats the use of changing things,
Wonder what tomorrow brings,
Who knows,
Im getting out of love.
Chorus
My shangri-la has gone away,
Faded like the beatles on hey jude
She seemed to drift out on the rain
That came in somewhere softly from the blue
Clouds roll by and hide the sun,
Raindrops fall on everyone,
So sad,
Im getting out of love.

Five Hundred Miles Away From Home
(bobby bare, charlie williams, hedy west)
Tear drops fell on mamas note
When I read the things she wrote
She said, we miss you girl
We love you come on home
Well I didnt have to pack
I had it all right on my back
Now Im five hundred miles away from home
Chorus:
Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, Im five hundred miles away from home
Its hard to tell the state Im in
Where Im going, where Ive been
But theres a dream Ive been following so long
If mama knew the things Ive done
Shed forgive them everyone
But Im still five hundred miles away from home
Repeat chorus
Cant remember when I ate its just thumb and walk and wait
And Im still five hundred miles away from home
If my luck had been just right Id be with them all tonight
But Im still five hundred miles away from home

We All Fall Down
She says, you know the monkey bar rules
As she kisses away his playground bruise
You dont have to skip a bar each time
To make it to the other side
She picked him up from out of the sand
Then tied the shoelace that read, superman
Chorus
We all fall down
Its the gettin back up that really counts
We live and we learn
To help someone up when its their turn
In life theres only one guarantee
Your feet wont always be on the ground
cause we all fall down
She says I know what youre goin through
As she talks to the door of her daughters room
Your heart feels like its broken in two
But, baby, Im here for you
The door opened and she stepped inside
She put her arms around her and said, its ok to cry
Repeat chorus
Hes forty-five and his job is gone
Cleans out his desk and he heads on home
Sees his kids out playin in the yard
Its been a while since hes been hit so hard
Hes as scared as a man can be
He tells his wife and she says, honey, look at me
Repeat chorus
We all fall down
But you got to get back up

Signs
You're weighed down with regret
You can't see the road ahead
Or the burden on your back
It seems the trek will never end
The winding paths that still descend
And up above a sky washed black
You just can't bear to look at that
Chorus:
Follow the signs
Open your eyes
Read between the lines of what you see
Look into the soul of reality
Open your mind
Look at the signs
Never look back at yesterday
Keep your gaze steady on the narrow way
Now you've found the sacred tree
You kneel upon the broken wheat
You watch your burden fall away
And all the things you once sought
Now are counted less than lost
For now you see the light of day
The signs were pointing all the way
Repeat chorus
Follow the signs
Follow the signs
Open your eyes
Look at the signs
Open your mind
Follow the signs

Live To Love Another Day
Lord I fell for her smile
And she loved me for a while
Then she said good-bye gotta go
Left me standing on the side of the road
Now she's gone and I'm a memory in her past
And the long and short of it some things never last
Chorus:
Oh because summers come, summers go
I'll keep walking down this road
It's alright and it's okay
I'll live to love another day
I'll live to love another day
Lord I'm out here again
With my back to the wind
The warm sun that's sinking low
Is gonna leave me out in the cold
But the long and short of it some things never last
And if that goes for the good
It must go for the bad
(REPEAT CHORUS)
If I fall down
I'm not ashamed
I always get back up again
But I'll be fine 'till the right one comes to save me, save me, save me
Lord I fell for her smile
And she loved me for a while
And someday she's gonna wish
She hadn't left me here like this
(REPEAT CHOURUS)

And Ive come to realize
That your promises are lies
To buy you time when you want to get away

You must think my heart has swingin doors
The way that you keep comin back and forth
I can feel its getting close to closing time
And I wont be leavin my heart open any more

When nights are cold and friends are hard to find
