I like to splash through The puddles in spring Roll down the windows and Go for a spin But I’ll go your way Just for the day You like to sit in the outdoor cafes I like to wonder down the Champs Elysees But I’ll go your way Just for the day The Mona Lisa Will just have to wait The Dolce Vita is Right at our gate You like to sleep handsomely In the buff I like to cuddle under Plenty of the bed stuff But I’ll go your way Just for the day You like to eat fancy peas in the pod I like my chips and my beer battered cod But I’ll go your way The Mona Lisa will just have to wait La Dolce Vita is right on our plates You like to sleep handsomely in the buff I like cuddle under plenty of the bed stuff But I’ll go your way I will go your way I will go your way Just for the day

Dreamer 03:37
Another blinding sun is on the way Chasing off another reverie, But I need Just a moment more to linger languidly, remembering All the lovely things that happen here Don’t wake me up yet, I’m a dreamer And I need to dream up a plan Figure out how to get you in my life and out of Neverland Imagination is my only friend whom I depend he gently rocks me back to sleep when I can’t breathe And when the pictures fade between my eyes I realize That life is always better in my dreams Don’t wake me up yet, I’m a dreamer And I need to dream up a plan Figure out how to get you in my life and out of Neverland Imagination is my only friend whom I depend he gently rocks me back to sleep when I can’t breathe And when the pictures fade between my eyes I realize That life is always better in my dreams Don’t wake me up yet, I’m a dreamer And I need to dream up a plan Figure out how to get you in my life and out of Neverland and out of Neverland and out of Neverland! oooh ooh oooh ooh……

I was a fool to climb aboard That old runaway train But like a rampant funhouse fan I had to see the world Faster than I could spin So I headed for adventure and I Crashed straight into love You were headed for me Like a comet from above And as the sirens sounded We both sped into the night I had my boy adventure by my side Chorus: Now in retrospect I would do it all again ( like I did like I did) why should I regret the shape of who I am (I like it I like it) We learn to walk up tall by tripping on our feet, so I say You ain't wise until you been a fool And I'm not sorry Now in retrospect, I would do it all again (Like I did, like I did) Blah blah blah blah.... Verse: Spring turned into summer And the rides turned into rust And all my little treasures sank in thick and filthy dust The one I called my one and only called me one of many And I rode that train to winter where I'd lie. Chorus: Now in retrospect I would do it all again (like I did like I did) Why should I regret The shape of who I am (I like it I like it) Now in retrospect I would do it all again ( like I did like I did) Why should I regret The shape of who I am Now in retrospect I would do it all again

From, I can tell, I’m not the kind of girl that likes to wait up I’m on the water with my sails up And you’re on the bottom looking nowhere Somethings the matter in the mist All the little things that no one cares about All that wasted time I spent joining in the rattles of your life Chorus: Ooooo, right or wrong I am gone Got the record rolling Go where i go And thats all, and then nothing else I'm gonna sprawl And thats all Got the record rolling Go where i go And thats all, and then nothing else. Verse: Overly drawn, I’m just a garden with some mud I’m trying to hide the fact that I can’t stand you Taking everything i've ever grown Should you look for me in the flood You better shout cuz i'll be far And this is what I hear So this is what you’ll get And nothing else will all be heard! Chorus: Ooooo, right or wrong I am gone Got the record rolling Go where i go, And thats all, and then nothing else I'm gonna sprawl And thats all Got the record rolling Go, where i go, And thats all, and then nothing else Bridge: Right or wrong, i'm gone i let you go back down the road I'm gonna roll, gonna roll Gonna go where I want to And thats all and nothin else Right or wrong, i'm gone i let you go back down the road I'm gonna roll, gonna roll Gonna go where I want to And thats all and nothin else.

Spiders Kiss 02:50
Chorus: Its' been a while, To be in love, Or see my love, With me Verse: I am alive Lonely I've arrived Darkness sits in paradise Hungrier on colder nights I know The folded bell Still I hear it ring Echoing a song it sung, A souvenir of spring Chorus: Its' been a while, To be in love, Or see my love, With me Verse: Call and then I, Hope for star-light I pour out into the night, Flooding her with my plight And I know This is right In the brazen sky Neither day, neither night This twilight burns my eyes Chorus: Its' been a while, To be in love Or see my love With me Bridge: My old bones, of figurine stones But I'm growing a new song The bell starts unfolding

Little Boats 04:10
Drifting along Just me and the stream Current pulls me Wherever it wants me, I'm just a leaf gone astray From my tree My missed life Passed me by In little boats I never knew That little leaves like me Knew how to float But I blew free And now I'm drifting Chorus Oh, I don't know (don't know) But I like to believe Theres more for me this way I could drift all day With my head above the water No matter how far I stray I'll see the sea Swim to heaven, Float Right on in And I'll be passing by in my little boat With little leaves like me Oh! Chorus: I don't know (don't know) But I like to believe Theres more for me this way I could drift all day With my head above the water No matter how far I stray So won't you take me away..... Chorus 2x

Silly Lion 02:39
Daylight and the weather gets hotter Wind sneaks through my window pane Teasing me awake Daytime brings the loveliest sunshine I smile and watch the coloured rays Dance across his face Chorus: Even though i'm just a silly lion I know i'm lying right next to a snake Somethings gonna change within our natures He won't bite He tells me everyday Verse: Sweet perfume lingers on my pillow (Your breath upon my shoulder) Sends me into space He and me Tangled up dreamily I can't escape so I sink Into his warm embrace Chorus: Even though I'm just a silly lion I know i'm lying right next to a snake Somethings gonna change within our natures He won't bite He tells me everyday Bridge: And we dance and we dance and we spin on heavens hand And stand aside for breath And we pound and we pound and we bang on our drums Then hold our hands for a break Chorus: Even though I'm just a silly lion I know i'm lying right next to a snake Somethings gonna change within our natures He won't bite He tells me everyday

We Smile 01:20
As the morning blooms Sunshine fills this room And the shadows Fade to light I can see your face Your dreams erase You smile That mischievous grin As you cuff my chin Cuz my hair Overnight Has wound around the crown Like an ice cream cone I frown Nobody captures the stars Like we do when we're In Love I'm all aglow in your arms As we glide towards the earth The alarm bell sounds And I steal the shower You make coffee While I gloat But the water burns You hear me curse We Smile
