I wanna be happy
Never been much for gamblin’
Now I’m just ramblin’
Alls I needs a little bit of love
Don’t need a whole lot of money
Just someone to love me
I just need some honey
Oh a little bit a’ little bit a’ love
Most of the time
We are just children
Afraid of our own loneliness
Can’t find where we belong
Oh I’m just saying
The world is always changing
A little bit of love goes far
Oh find you a little bit a’ love, love
A little bit a’ love
That’s all
I wanna have courage
To face my fears and flourish
Never miss a days worth
Of a little bit a little bit of love
So I’ll just keep on singing
Til this poor heart is brimmin’
And maybe I’ll be swimmin’
In a little bit a little bit a’ love
Most of the time
We are just children
Afraid of our own loneliness
Can’t find where we belong
Oh I’m just sayin’
The world is always changin’
A little bit of love goes far
Oh find you a little bit a’ love, love
A little bit a love
That’s all
I wanna be happy
Never been much for gamblin’
Now I’m just ramblin’
Alls I needs a little bit of love
We all need each other
My sisters and my brothers
Hands on hands all colours
Oh a little bit a little bit a’ love
Most of the time
We are just children
Afraid of our own loneliness
Can’t find where we belong
Oh I’m just sayin’
The world is always changin’
A little bit of love goes far
Oh find you a little bit a’ love, love
A little bit a’ love
That’s all
A little bit of love goes far
Oh find you a little bit a’ love, love
A little bit a’ loooooooove!
That’s all

In the shade
You and I
On the fairest day
We stole
The gold miners egg
Not gonna stop
When the honey’s runnin’ down
Blowin’ through the trees
Hand in hand two bandits goin’
Blowin’ free
Hoooooooooo!
The sun is gettin’ hotter
Feeling high ah ah!
Swing me faster til I’m swung
Hoooooo!
The gold flowing like water
Im so alive ah ah!
Don’t stop until we’ve won
Don’t you know
I’m a ramblin’ dame
I got a wrangling rebel oh
And we’re singin’ for the train now
And I got, I got
Melody ooh hoo, ooh hoo
Melody ooh hoo, ooh hoo
Melody oohh hoo, ooh hoo
Melody, ahhhhh!
Melody ooh , ooh hoo
Melody ooh hoo, ooh hoo
Melody ooh hoo, ooh hoo
Melody
We want it all
We want it all
Before the gray moon
Before the sounds of summer
Are stolen by the breeze
Before we can’t remember
I just want hear em’ sing
Ooooo!
The sun is getting hotter
Feeling high ah ah!
Swing me faster til I’m swung
Oooh!
The gold flowin’ like water
I’m so alive ah ah!
Don’t stop
I got I got
Melody Ooh Hoo, ooh hoo
Melody ooh hoo, ooh hoo
Melody ooh hoo, ooh hoo
Melody
O way oooh
Came in at a brakeshoe
And we got a black snake runnin’
Driver for my money
And a beeline for the sea
Sittin pretty on a train
Now giddy up
Feel the beat hit the crank
When we pony up
He’s got the rhythm oh
Feel it in his bones
He makes me weary go

Tangled Thread
03:41
|
|||
I used to be the one who listened to her intuition
I used to blend into my world like watercolours
But now I seem made up of odds and ends and knots of dread
I try to cope but everything I seem to do is simply
Wrong wrong wrong wrong
It’s scary in the dark but I’ll deny it
Wish I was
Home home home home
Instead of trying to unravel this head
I’ve got a brain of tangled thread
And I can’t make heads or tails of it
Hands and heart and eyes and feet
It’s getting harder and harder to keep that beat
It started when my tightrope snapped in loop dee loops
And now I’m stuck inside a haywire roller coasters caboose
My body’s whittled down to fight or flight there’s no more light
Can’t fix this one myself (PLEASE HELP)
Oh get me out of here it’s
Wrong wrong wrong wrong
scary in the dark but I’ll deny it
Wish I was home home home home
Instead of trying to unravel this head
I’ve got a brain of tangled thread
And I can’t make heads or tails of it
Hands and heart and eyes and feet
It’s getting harder and harder and harder
To keep that beat
Left is up and down is right
I don’t see no end in sight
Staring up from on the floor
Cuz I can’t fight it anymore
(Don’t you shut that door! Don’t you shut that door! )
Mind oh my mind oh!
This mangled maze of mine
Help me I’m falling
Into a field of mines
Sound the alarms
Oh I need a lifeline
Won’t you pull on the thread
Til it all unwinds
Wanna shout wanna sing wanna say all the things
I’ve been too choked up to say
I wanna say em anyway
Wanna shout Wanna sing wanna say all the things
I’ve been too choked up to say
I wanna say em anyway
Say em anyway
Mind oh my mind oh!
This mangled maze of mine
Help me I’m falling
Into a field of mines
Sound the alarms
Oh I need a lifeline
Won’t you pull on the thread
Til it all unwinds
Mind oh my mind oh!
This mangled maze of mine
Help me I’m falling
Into a field of mines
Sound the alarms
Oh I need a lifeline
Won’t you pull on the thread
Til it all unwinds
Wanna shout wanna sing wanna say all the things
I’ve been too choked up to say
I wanna say em anyway
Wanna shout Wanna sing wanna say all the things
I’ve been too choked up to say
I wanna say em anyway
Say em anyway

Catch Her And She Gone
02:31
|
|||
Clouds blushing in the sky as the sun dies
Leaning on the corners of a citrus sea
Sailors delighted
The captains gonna ride it
Til he crashes his ship in something so sweet
Oooh catch her and she gone
The tighter you hold on to her
The farther she gonna run
Ooh catch her and she gone
She settle like a feather
Then she’ll blow
Where the wind goes
On a rock lie a captain and ship
And the girl who caught him
With hook and a stick
Reeled him in
With a wicked little grin
An angel on her shoulder
And a devil on her lips
Ooh
Catch her and she gone
The tighter you hold on to her
The farther she gonna run
Ooh catch her and she gone
She settle like the a feather
Then she’ll blow
Where the wind goes
Where the sunset meets the shore
With the waves kissing their toes
Tangled bodies on the banks
Forever in a moment
Locked in arms that
Won’t let go
Leaning in heavy
The scent of serendipity
Four legs locked and
Two minds blown
She purrs,he sighs
She smiles and there’s
A tickle on her neck
And the wind starts to blow
Oooh catch her and she gone
The tighter you hold on to her
The farther she gonna run
Oooooh catch her and she gone
She’ll settle like a feather
Then she’ll go
Where the wind blows
Stars crashing in the sky
As the sun dies
She takes his ship as he sleeps
Leaving him with a hook and a stick
It’s the captains turn
To capture me

Lazy Gazing
03:27
|

Days like this
Cell phone off
No to-do list
Relax, Relax
Let the sun in
Shine your light on
Birds singin’ in the lilac trees
Flowers poking out their heads
Like they wanna high five me
(High five me!)
High as a bird upon a wire
Nothing but me and my own desires
Lazy gazing, Lazy gazing
Sun kissed and happy as can be
Nothing but me in my hazy dream
Lazy gazing
All in a perfect day
Just for me
Here I breathe
In air as sweet
As honey bees
Let your cares float
Where the clouds go
Stars shining in the deep blue sea
Waves conceived by white dragons wings
They ripple over my toes
Cool water flows
Cool water flows...
High as a bird upon a wire
Nothing but me and my own desires
Lazy gazing, lazy gazing
Sun kissed and happy as can be
Nothing but me and my hazy dream
Lazy gazing
All in a perfect day
Just for me

Gone
03:44
|

I keep coming out swinging
There’s always a battle on this road
That’s my story
I’d rather fight for love
Than let it go
So I keep holding on
Hoping that one day they’ll be more
I keep waiting
But I don’t think I need to
Anymore
Long time wasted
Holding on
But the love
Is gone gone
Gone
You once called me your angel
Like I had some power to save your soul
I believed that
The light in me could guide you safely home
But I’m not you’re angel
I’m just as lost, as worn, as cold
I’m not able
To save you from your demons anymore
Long time wasted
Holding on
But the love is gone, gone
Gone
I didn’t see the warning flags
Now i’m just some bruises and bones and rags
Too numb to feel a thing
But I’m standing on my own two feet
Not afraid to lose or win
I Don’t know where I’m going
But I’m walking away
Long time wasted
Holding on
But the love is gone, gone
Gone
Long time wasted
Holding on
But the love is gone, gone
Gone
Long time wasted
Holding on,
But the love is gone, gone
Gone.

Big Bad Wolf
02:40
|

If it talks
With a tongue made of silver
Make your legs shake and shiver
So bad your feet can’t walk
If it walks
With the feet of a dancer
You can bet that the chances are
They ain’t gonna take you far
I was ahead
You were a flag
We had a crash
And life was a drag
I had to crawl
Out of a pit
You ain’t never gonna drag me
Back down to that abyss
Flesh and bone
Like a child that aches to be older
Thinkin’ age makes you bolder
You’d be safer if you’d stayed home
Ripe and round
Like a warm peach
Ready for the plucking
Make a wolf feel lucky
When a’ he come sniffin’ round
I was ahead
You were a flag
We had a crash
And life was a drag
I had to crawl
Out of a pit
You ain’t never gonna drag me
Back down to that abyss
Then I awoke the high and mighty
He said “Now you’ve gone too far”
And when I saw the one before me
He was a big bad wolf
With some wide open jaws
Red beady eyes
Long dirty claws
He wanna take a bite outta me
Never let me down again
Never let me down again
Never let me down again

Sadly, I don’t know how to be happy
When you’re around I feel crazy
Everything always feels wrong
I only wanna sing my song
Day ooh day oo day ooh
Day ooh day ooh day ooh
Day ooh day ooh day ooh
Ooh ooh Wa ooh!
Now I’m a number nine
I’ve always felt it that way
Each time I fall in line
I make the same mistake
Don’t settle down
If you don’t want to
Everybody wants to
Settle down
I only wanna sing oh
Sadly, I don’t know how to be
Happy, cuz when you’re around
I feel crazy
Everyting always feels wrong
I only wanna sing my song
Day ooh day oo day ooh

Ooh ooh Wa ooh!
We’re under lock and key
We used to want it that way
Now I just wanna scream
Feel like a cat in a cage
Don’t settle down
If you don’t want to
Everybody wants to
Settle down
I only wanna sing
Sadly, I don’t know how to be
Happy, cuz when you’re around
I feel crazy
Everyting always feels wrong
I only wanna sing my song

Somewhere theres a heaven
A little piece of heaven
Some for you, and some for
Me.

I know I’m fluffy
And I know I’m free
I was born yesterday
I was abandoned
Under a tree
What I’d give
It’s just me and my
Whirls
So I look off into space
For a minute…
….
Take me home
I’m so tired of being
Alone
And I know, I was just
Born
I still know what it’s like
To be alone
Light as feather
My poor heart weighs
A ton
I’m under the weather
Before my life has even
Begun
No hands, aint got no feet
So look off into space
For a minute…
…
Take me home
I’m so tired of being
Alone
And I know, I was just
Born
I still know what it’s like
To be alone
These tears that I cry
Keep stinging my eyes
As I turn my face towards
The moon
My friend in the sky
Says I’ll never survive
If nobody takes me home
Soon
Take me home
I’m so tired of being
Alone
And I know, I was just
Born
I still know what it’s like
To be alone

Of mans red flower
