Yours For Flying

THE THINGS I DIDN'T DO

you gotta let the wind fill up your sails
follow me down break out of yourself
stormin' out the window breakin' down the walls
Lord knows I’ll be there when she calls

I don’t want to be so damn cold
I feel her warmth soothin' my soul
I don’t want to worry on the past
she said I don’t regret the things I done
only those I didn’t do

I don’t want to be inside of your window
we are all staring out the door
stormin' out the window breakin' down the walls
Lord knows I'l be there when she calls

I don’t want to be so damn cold
feel her warmth soothin' my soul
and I don’t want to worry on the past
she said I don’t regret the things I done
only those I didn’t do
those I didn’t do

I don’t want to be so damn cold
feel her touch soothin' my soul
an' I don’t want to worry on the past
she said I don’t regret the things I done
only those I didn’t do
those I didn’t do
only those I didn’t do

The Things I Didn't Do

THE DEEP BLUE


whatever I do yeah goes downhill fast
an' nothin' works out or seems to last
I'm lookin' destiny straight in the face
waitin' for a change a change of pace

as the river keeps on flowin'
I wanna jump yeah dive right in
wherever it's goin'
carry me downstream
to the deep blue sea

whenever I run yeah I'm spun right about
it never ends yeah the rug's pulled out
I'm walkin' in circles inside a wheel
an' it feels jus' like achilles heel

as the river keeps on flowin'
I wanna jump yeah dive right in
wherever it's goin'
carry me downstream
to the deep blue sea

whatever I try yeah it's headin' south
I'm down in the dumps baby down in' the mouth
it's goin' from bad bad to worse
'til things look up an' break this curse

as the river keeps on flowin'
I wanna jump yeah dive right in
wherever it's goin'
carry me downstream
to the deep blue sea

Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Lose

GOOD LOVE

had a lotta heartaches
made a lotta mistakes
been a lotta trouble
lyin’ cheatin’ an’ that goes double

heard a lotta bad lies
said a lotta goodbyes
seen a lotta sorrow
had to beg steal an’ borrow

now I gotta a good love
a strong love
holdin’ on love
like there’s no tomorrow

had a lotta hard times
walked a lotta thin lines
been a lotta trouble
lyin’ cheatin’ an’ that goes double

read a lotta bad news
sung a lotta sad blues
seen a lotta sorrow
had to beg steal an’ borrow

now I gotta a good love
a strong love
holdin’ on love
like there’s no tomorrow

yeah it’s getting’ better every day
I got a good love got a good love
yeah in each an’ every way
I got a good love got a good love

I gotta a good love
a strong love
holdin’ on love
I gotta a good love
a strong love
holdin’ on love
like there’s no tomorrow
like there’s no tomorrow
no tomorrow

CRESCENT CITY

well I was tryin' to leap the stream but my jump failed an’ I landed in a dream
we heathens live mighty fast you're born you die life just don't last
livin' in a modern age where everyone's actions sure seem staged
life in the States it sure moves fast tortoise an’ the hare sit an' watch you pass

well I've been thinkin' about the state of things
how life it just don't seem fair yeah
nature has her way with human beings that’ll
put you back into the square

when we go to the Crescent City
I hope that she’s still standing there
my heart goes out to those whose lives have turned shitty
thru’ the devastation an’ the devastation an despair

one day things was goin’ all right wind an’ the rain sent the people in a plight
destruction is a relevant thing but the people are dyin’ if you know what I mean
pay for the war going down in Iraq an' the fuel prices high never gonna fall back
soldiers come FAMC goes New Orleans blows down but no one shows
they all stayed home that day

well I've been thinkin' about the state of things
how life it just don't seem fair yeah
nature has her way with human beings that'll
put you back into the square

when we go to the Crescent City I hope that she's still standin’ there
my heart goes out to those whose lives have turned shitty
from the devastation an’ the devastation an’ despair

home of jazz the grand tradition the rubble remains an’ a people in submission
well I think we could’ve made it there faster but Bush is just too much of a bastard
playin' golf just relax read a story in front of the class
insult the people foolish administration get the cronies out
yeah they're fuckin' up our nation
oh messin' it up

well I've been thinkin' about the state of things
how life just don't seem fair yeah
nature has her way with human beings that’ll
put you back into the square

when we go to the Crescent City
I hope that she’s still standing there
my heart goes out to those whose lives have turned shitty
thru’ the devastation and the devastation an despair

BETTER DAYS

you don’t need anything more than what you already have
all you need to do is dance and sing an' laugh
don’t let them tell you that you can’t be more than now
you are only what you’re willing to allow

don’t let them fool you into thinkin'
that you are no more than they say
don’t believe your boat is sinkin'
the lost still find their way
just believe in better days

a new day is comin' you can feel it in the air
we can do it right this time without a cross to bear
we can build a better world or go the other way
as for me I’m holdin' out for better days

don’t live waitin' for tomorrow
don’t be only what they allow
don’t be part of the sorrow
your heart will show you how
because the better days are now

a new day is comin' you can feel it in the air
we can do it right this time without a cross to bear
we can build a better world or go the other way
as for me I’m holdin' out for better days

don’t live waitin' for tomorrow
don’t be only what they allow
don’t be part of the sorrow
your heart will show you how
because the better days are now

better days are now
better days are now
the better days are now
better days are now
your heart will show you how
because the better days are now

Better Days

BIG ORANGE MONSTER

pokes his head around the corner says hey man do you want to know
what happened to me c’mon I’ve got a lot to show
he’s a big orange monster with big sad eyes
looks like he’s melting or like he’s wearing a disguise

pulls his overstuffed wagon down the dirty sidewalk
you can’t help but follow just to hear his small talk
he’s a big orange monster and he’s got something he wants you to see
he’s a big orange monster and he just wants you to be free

he wants you to love
he wants you to love

it doesn’t matter if you’re black red yellow or white
it doesn’t matter if you’re gay straight or lost in the night
it doesn’t matter how you choose to talk to God
or if you choose to believe in nothing at all

love
love
he wants you to love
he wants you to love

IF LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND


IF LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND

YOU AND I WE SCREAM AND SHOUT
'TIL WE FORGET WHAT THE FIGHT IS ALL ABOUT
IT'S SO STRANGE WHENEVER WE ARE NEAR
YOU DON'T EVER LISTEN I CAN'T EVEN HEAR

BUT IF LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND
WHY IS IT SLOWIN' DOWN KEEP IT TURNIN'
IF LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND
WHY IS IT SLOWIN' DOWN KEEP THE LOVE-LIGHT BURNIN'

ME AND YOU WE CRY AND CURSE
WE IGNORE WHAT REALLY MATTERS MOST
IT'S SO STRANGE WHENEVER WE DISAGREE
YOU DON'T EVEN LOOK I CAN'T EVER SEE

BUT IF LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND
WHY IS IT SLOWIN' DOWN KEEP IT TURNIN'
IF LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND
WHY IS IT SLOWIN' DOWN KEEP THE LOVE-LIGHT BURNIN'

WHY DO WE DO WHAT WE DO TO EACH OTHER
WHEN WE CAN RECAPTURE THE MOMENT AND YET
BE THOSE SAME TWO LOVERS
IF WE REKINDLE THE FIRE WHEN WE FIRST MET

IF LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND
WHY IS IT SLOWIN' DOWN KEEP IT TURNIN'
IF LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND
WHY IS IT SLOWIN' DOWN KEEP THE LOVE-LIGHT BURNIN'

IF LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND
WHY IS IT SLOWIN' DOWN KEEP IT TURNIN'
IF LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND
WHY IS IT SLOWIN' DOWN KEEP THE LOVE-LIGHT BURNIN'

WHY IS IT SLOWIN' DOWN
IF LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND
KEEP IT TURNIN'

IF LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND
