HOT STREAK
Words and Music (c) Brent Lillie


I’ve got a pocket full of hundred dollar bills
Gonna drive all day until I hit those neon lights
There’s a big pot of gold on the other side of that hill
Yeah I’m on a hot streak and I know I can’t lose tonight

Found a rabbit’s foot in a meadow full of four leaf clovers
All lit up by a sky full of shootin’ stars
I’ve got wishes backed up to the middle of next October
I’m shootin’ for the moon ‘cos I’m on a hot streak tonight

I’m on a hot streak, got a hand full of aces and I’m goin’ places
On a hot streak, got my arms round my honey and the engine runnin’
On a hot streak, I know I’m gonna win so deal me in
I’m on a hot streak, I’m a-gonna break the bank tonight

My head feels like it’s spinnin’ like a roulette wheel
Sounds like thunder when I roll those tumblin’ dice
It’s a one horse race, I’m winnin’ on every deal
Lady Luck’s really smilin’ down on me tonight

Found a rabbit’s foot in a meadow full of four leaf clovers
All lit up by a sky full of shootin’ stars
I’ve got wishes backed up to the middle of next October
I’m shootin’ for the moon ‘cos I’m on a hot streak tonight

I’m on a hot streak, cruisin’ into town with the windows down
On a hot streak, you better stand back while I build my stack
On a hot streak, I ain’t gonna sleep for at least a week
I’m on a hot streak, gonna hit ‘em like a lightnin’ bolt

I’m on a hot streak, got a hand full of aces and I’m goin’ places
On a hot streak, got my arms round my honey and the engine runnin’
On a hot streak, I know I’m gonna win so deal me in
I’m on a hot streak, I’m a-gonna break the bank tonight
I’m on a hot streak
I’m on a hot streak
I’m on a hot streak, gonna a hit ‘em like a lightnin’ bolt

Hot Streak

THE DEAL
Words and Music (c) by Brent Lillie

Callum John Macguire was born at 2am
Three months premature, the son of Jack and Jen
For ten years they'd been trying, and they'd both broke down and cried
When they found out he was dying, with barely time to be alive

Those tiny hands, those tiny feet, the bandages and tubes
His dad out in the parking lot, so helpless and confused 

He said 'I've often been a sinner, and I'll never be a saint
So listen to me Satan, there's a deal I'd like to make
My soul can burn for all eternity
As long as Callum makes it through, then just take me 
And that's the deal, that’s the deal

It rained that day and all that night, their son kept hangin' on
His tiny fist kept balling up like he was trying to be strong
The nurse said 'he's a fighter', but the hope had left her eyes
Then Jack received a message, and he took his phone outside

I'll take that deal' the message said 'You won't get the chance again
Park out on the level crossing west of town at 2am'

You should never trust the devil, but some deals don't come cheap
So he went inside and kissed his wife so gently in her sleep
And a tear fell for the son he'd never know
And then he went outside, got in his car and drove
‘Cos that’ the deal, yeah that's the deal

They said it was a miracle, never seen the likes before
And when she asked them where her husband was, they said he just walked out the door

On a lonely level crossing, in the wind and teeming rain
He could heard the distant rumble, of that speeding hellbound train  
In case resistance crumbled, he'd thrown away his keys
And as the train bore down he smiled and calmly leaned back in his seat

Time froze as the devil pushed the car down off the track
Then fifty tons of freight train did it's best to pull it back
And that's how come I'm standing here to talk to you
I guess there's some deals that even the devil just won't do

My name is Callum John Macguire, I was born at 2am
Three months premature, the son of Jack and Jen
Me and Dad we like our driving and we sure do get around
But we steer clear of that crossing, on the western side of town
‘Cos that’s the deal, that’s the deal

The Deal

IT’S ALL RIGHT TO FEEL LONELY
Words and Music (c) by Brent Lillie

I stopped the car an hour after sunset
To take a break, and stretch my bones
When I stepped outside the desert started talkin’
It said it won’t be long until you get back home

It’s all right to feel lonely
When the moon’s this big, and the stars shine bright
It’s all right to feel lonely
When you’re on your own, on a desert night

In the desert darkness everything seems clearer
I could see, to the end of time
And all the things I’d missed seemed somehow nearer
On an empty road, by a railway line

And it’s all right to feel lonely
When the moon’s this big, and the stars shine bright
It’s all right to feel lonely
When you’re one on one, with a desert night

I stop in at a roadhouse for a coffee and a bite
The place is filled with people, lots of noise and lots of light
All staring at our phones as we stand patiently in line
And it’s a different kind of lonely than the one I felt last night

It’s all right to feel lonely
When the moon’s this big, and the stars shine bright
It’s all right to feel lonely
When you’re on your own, on a desert night

It’s all right to feel lonely
When the moon’s this big, and the stars shine bright
It’s all right to feel lonely
When you’re one on one, with a desert night

It's Alright To Feel Lonely

SAYULITA 
Words and Music © by Brent Lillie

I've got a hundred miles of fuel left
There's still two thousand miles to go
But I will find a way to get there
On my way to Mexico

So I have to go, to Mexico
Where I can waste my life away
Being with you, do you feel it too
In Sayulita

I see you underneath a palm tree
You have a flower in your hair
And behind you is the blue sea
Beyond the Sayulita Sand  

So I have to go, to Mexico
Where I can waste my life away
Being with you, do you feel it too
In Sayulita

So I have this dream
This beautiful dream
I have to make reality
To have you with me, down by the sea
In Sayulita

I have to go, to Mexico
Where I can waste my life away
Being with you, do you feel it too
In Sayulita

There is a magic in your eyes girl
And I have always had this plan
I want to spend my life with you, girl
Upon the Sayulita Sand

Sayulita
Sayulita
Sayulita
Sayulita

I have to go, to Mexico
Where I can waste my life away
Being with you, do you feel it too
In Sayulita

Magic in your eyes
I want to spend my life
Woh oh, woh oh

A MAN AFTER MY OWN HEART

I've seen it before some guy walks in the room
He stops in his tracks when he sets eyes on you
I think there goes a man after my own heart

The look you exchange is a loving embrace
And it's perfectly clear that he's taking my place
There goes a man after my own heart

Nobody can own somebody
But there were times your heart was all that I had
And now that I know I have to let go
The thought of it is drivin' me mad, drivin’ me mad

I think back to the night when I walked in that room
And how the guy you were with must have been in my shoes
There goes a man after my own heart

Oh, and it must have felt like a like a slap in the face
And his head must have spun as all that love was erased 
There goes a man after my own heart

Oh, nobody can own somebody
But there were times your heart was all that I had
And now that I know I have to let go
The thought of it is drivin' me mad

Sha la la la la la la la
Ooh ooh ooh ooh 
Sha la la la la oh, yeah drivin’ me mad

I think back to the night when I walked in that room
And how the guy you were with must have been in my shoes
There goes a man after my own heart

And nobody can own somebody
But there were times your heart was all that I had
And now I know I have to let go
The thought of it is drivin' me mad

Nobody can own somebody
But there were times your heart was all that I had
And now that I know I have to let go
The thought of it is drivin' me mad

And nobody can own somebody
But there were times your heart was all that I had
And now I know I have to let go
The thought of it is drivin' me mad

ANYONE CAN CARRY A TUNE
Music and Lyrics (c) Brent Lillie

La la la la la la la la sing it
La la la la la la la la mmm pick it up

Anyone can carry a tune
With a song in your heart you can walk on the moon
Lighter than air, like a balloon, anywhere, carry a tune

Anywhere, anytime
Just pick up a tune and keep it in mind
Anywhere, anytime
You can make up your own and have one of a kind

La la la la la la la la sing it
La la la la la la la la sing it mmm pick it up

You don't have to know how to sing, 
With a song in your head you can do anything
Go anywhere like Paris in spring, like a bird on the wing

Anyone can carry a tune
With a song in your heart say goodbye to the blues
But if you like the blues you can carry that too, it's all up to you 

La la la la la la la la 
La la la la la la la la la oh
La la la la la la la la mmm

La la la la la la la la la la
Sing it

La la la la la la la la la ooh pick it up, it's a tune

With a song in our hearts we can fly to the moon
Lighter than air
A big bunch of balloons
On it’s way to the moon
Lighter than air

Anyone Can Carry A Tune

SPLINTERS AND SPARKS
Lyrics and Music (c) Brent Lillie

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh splinters and sparks

If life was all sunshine without any dark
No pain, simply pleasure, a walk in the park
If no rain greyed your world down, no pain plagued your heart
Remember life’s all the better for it’s splinters and sparks

There’s times when your worries get under your skin
But there’s times when the lightning makes the night clear again
When you realise that this day just might be your last
Yeah, you can’t live without them, those splinters and sparks

Ooh ooh ooh, splinters and sparks
Ooh ooh ooh, the light and the dark
When the person you love has broken your heart
It’s a feast or a famine, splinters and sparks

When you’re hot and you’re thirsty feels like you’re going insane
How sweet the water when you taste it again
When you and your loved ones are light years apart
How sweet the reunion, splinters and sparks

Ooh ooh ooh, splinters and sparks
Ooh ooh ooh, the light and the dark
When you and your loved ones are light years apart
How sweet the reunion, splinters and sparks

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, splinters and sparks
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, the light and the dark
When you and your loved ones are light years apart
How sweet the reunion, splinters and sparks

When the person you love has broken your heart
It’s a feast or a famine, splinters and sparks

DANCE NOW
Lyrics and Music (c) Brent Lillie

Life was meant to live 
Let's go out and live it 
Love was meant to give 
So do the best you can 
Minds were meant to sleep 
And sleep was meant for dreaming 
Dream your dreams instead of making plans 
Let your boat drift until it touches land 

More of life 
Less of mind 
The more you think about it
The more you're wasting time 
The river flows
 The river winds 
Just close your eyes 
And dance now 
Dance now

Tears were meant to fall 
So go ahead and cry them 
A laugh was meant to heal 
So let it ring out loud 
Legs were meant to walk 
Wings were meant for flying 
Just ask any bird and hear it sing 
Best a broken leg than a broken wing

More of life 
Less of mind 
The more you think about it
The more you're wasting time 
The river flows 
The river winds 
Just close your eyes 
And dance now 
Dance now 

More of life 
Less of mind 
The more you think about it
The more you're wasting time 
The river flows 
The river winds
And dance now 
Dance now

Dance Now

LIKE SHE DOES
Lyrics and Music (c) Brent Lillie

No-one breaks my heart like she does
It happens almost every day 
When I wake up with her beside me 
I pray she'll never go away 

No-one makes me laugh like she does 
Even when the skies are grey 
Turning raindrops into honey 
And the sweetness melts my cares away 

Uh oh, uh oh 
When we hold each other close and share a kiss 
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh 
I must have seen a shooting star and got my wish 

No-one gives me love like she does 
One kiss can last a whole day through 
And when it needs repeating 
She kisses me at night time too 

Uh oh, uh oh 
When we hold each other close and share a kiss 
Uh oh, uh oh 
I must have seen a shooting star and got my wish 

Yeah when I wake with her beside me
A little voice inside me 
Tells me that she's always gonna stay 
No-one breaks my heart…

Uh oh, uh oh oh
Uh oh, uh oh oh
Uh oh, uh oh oh
Uh oh, uh oh oh 

When we hold each other close and share a kiss 
Uh oh, uh oh
I must have seen a shooting star and got my wish

Like She Does

DOWN AND DIRTY WITH YOU
Lyrics and Music (c) Brent Lillie

Now I, I saw you through the window
And I, thought I'd get a little closer
And I'm not the type of guy who strays from his plans
But you sure stand out from the crowd and maybe
You and I, should get to know each other better baby
I think I may be jumpin' the gun, I think I'm fallin' in love

Let's go, hey I bet that you like fishin' honey
That much? Ah hell, it's only money
Sign here, I guess that means I'm sayin' 'I do'
And now I can 
Get down and dirty with you

You bet I like to do some fishin'
Dual cab, now let me hear your engine runnin'
My God, I want to find a muddy patch or two an'
Get down and dirty with you, oooh

Hey, I bet that you like fishin' honey
That much? Ah hell, it's only money
Sign here, I guess that means I'm sayin' 'I do'
And now I can 
Get down and dirty with you

Shift gears, I'll take you home to meet my girlfriend
I'm sure she'll come round and jump aboard and then we can
Head out and have ourselves a nice honeymoon
And get down and dirty with you
Now I can get down and dirty with you

Hey I bet that you like fishin' honey
That much? Ah hell, it's only money
Sign here, I guess that means I'm sayin' 'I do'
And now I can 
Get down and dirty with you

Down And Dirty With You

CHANGES EVERYTHING
Words and Music © Brent Lillie

Once this house had beds and chairs
It was the perfect place, for a man to live
But beyond the door lay the perfect hell
What's a Taj Mahal when you're an empty shell

And the view remains the same
But the frame of mind I'm in
Changes everything, changes everything
 
Every fall has a landing place
Be it a trampoline or the poisoned stakes
This house is bare but the door is wide
And I get to choose what I see outside

Because the view remains the same
But the frame of mind I'm in
Changes everything, changes everything
Changes everything, changes everything
Changes everything

Once this house had beds and chairs
It was the perfect place, for a man to live
But beyond the door lay the perfect hell
What's a Taj Mahal when you're an empty shell

And the view remains the same
But the frame of mind I'm in
Changes everything, changes everything

Every fall has a landing place
Be it a trampoline or the poisoned stakes
This house is bare but the door is wide
And I get to choose what I see outside

‘Cos the view remains the same
But the frame of mind I'm in
Changes everything, changes everything
Changes everything, changes everything

Sleep just like a baby, drift up to a place that's calm and quiet
Where time stands still
And I don't mind, because it's all the same
If it's sun, or it's rain, I don't mind, it's all the same

View remains the same
But the frame of mind I'm in
Changes everything, changes everything


Because the view remains the same
But the frame of mind I'm in
Changes everything, changes everything

Because the view remains the same
But the frame of mind I'm in
Changes everything, changes everything
Yeah

Changes Everything

FINAL APPROACH
Lyrics and Music by Brent Lillie

Yeah, yeah, yeah

He’s on his final approach
It must have been that last round
That brought that baby down
Down down down mmm

Well he first pushed back at 10am with whisky and a beer
By noon he’d taxied up to almost every gal in here
By five he’s so far gone they’re all just blips around the bar
Now they’re calling in a Mayday ‘cos he’s coming in too hard

He’s on his final approach
It must have been that last round
That brought that baby down
Down down down down mmm

Man, I don’t know how he did it but he made it to the bar
But then his landing gear gave way and he bellied in real hard
All those beers and whiskys sure make for a big bar tab
I bet right now he’s wishin’ he’d brought along a few air sickness bags

He’s on his final approach
It must have been that last round
That brought that baby down
Down down down down mmm

He’s on all those beers and whiskys, sure makes for a big bar tab
I bet right now he’s wishin’ he’d brought along a few air sickness bags

[chorus]
He’s on his final approach
It must have been that last round
That brought that baby down
down down 

Na na na na na na na
Oh yeah
Final approach!
Final approach
Down down down down
Down down down

Final Approach

BROKEN KNOWS (TONIC AND GIN)
Words and Music © by Brent Lillie

So here you see a lonely man 
Watching waves break on the sand
With an ice cold drink in hand
On a pretty little stretch of beach 
That he's named Broken Knows 

Yeah, I'm sittin' by the ocean and I'm toyin' with the notion
That everyone who's had their heart broken knows
That the time it takes to melt the ice in a glass 
Plus the times she's let me down in the past
Adds up to one big pain in the ah set me up again
Make it a tonic and gin

Isaac Newton was a thinker, just like me
But my theories involve love, not gravity
If I eliminate the waste of tears and appreciate the taste of beer 
Then this apple won't fall far from the tree

Yeah, I'm sittin' by the ocean and I'm toyin' with the notion
That everyone who's had their heart broken knows
That the time it takes to melt the ice in a glass 
Plus the times she's let me down in the past
Adds up to one big pain in the ah set me up again
Make it a tonic and gin
 
[chorus] 
Yeah, I'm sittin' by the ocean and I'm toyin' with the notion

HEAVEN WILL REMEMBER
Lyrics and Music (c) Brent Lillie

You can find him staring southward out by the water tank
He makes sure the pump's still workin', and you can almost hear him think
He knows clouds are gettin' rounded up in some corner of the sky
And that it's funny how you sink or swim when you get left high and dry 

The land it seems corroded, a broken-down machine
Brittle, bare and robbed of all it's brilliant blues and greens and dreams
The winter frosts have kept the crops from breaking through the ground
But sometimes he starts the tractor, just to drag the dust around

Heaven will remember 
Yeah, heaven will remember how to rain
Famine or a feast, when it rains it pours
Up until last week he thought he'd heard it all before
Then one night in the cold moonlight the wind whispered down the range
Sayin', 'heaven will remember, how to rain'

He leaves his muddy boots out by the kitchen door 
Wife tells him it's the wettest June in twenty years or more 
The creek is overflowin’ and there’s a pond in the backyard
He laughs and says ‘Babe, I think we prayed a little bit too hard’

Yeah, heaven will remember 
Oh, heaven will remember 
Heaven will remember, how to rain

Yeah, heaven sure remembered
Oh, heaven sure remembered
Oh heaven sure remembered
How to rain

Heaven Will Remember

Rockin’ on a rollercoaster and for what it’s worth
Up and down we get so high and then crash to earth
From the first hello to the last goodbye, it’s a crazy ride
Holdin’ on tight, screamin’ out into the night

Rockin’ on a rollercoaster of love, woh oh oh oh
Rockin’ on a rollercoaster of love

Sha la la sha la lo buckle up and don’t let go
Upside down inside out come on baby let’s work it out

Rockin’ on a rollercoaster taking twists and turns
Up and down we’re catching fire and watching it burn
From the highest peak to the lowest low it’s a crazy ride
Holdin’ on tight screamin’ out with all our might

Rockin’ on a rollercoaster of love, woh oh oh oh
Rockin’ on a rollercoaster of love

Sha la la sha la lo buckle up and don’t let go
Upside down inside out come on baby let’s work it out

We could touch the sky for a time you and me
All alone flying free oh what a place to be
But then we took a dive hit rock bottom oh so fast
Dreams shattered like broken glass knew it couldn’t last

Woh oh oh oh
Rockin’ on a rollercoaster of love

Heaven, ridin’ high
On cloud nine you and me
Holding hands, feeling free
Oh what a sight to see

Sha la la sha la lo buckle up and don’t let go
Upside down inside out come on baby 

Sha la la sha la lo buckle up and don’t let go
Upside down inside out come on baby

BEDAZZLED
Words and Music © by Brent Lillie

I'm bedazzled by the way
I'm in total disarray
You really swept me off my feet
Half out of my tree
You made a fool out of me
You bewildered me

I'm bedazzled by the times
I'm standing in line
At a bus stop or a takeaway
And I'll swear that you're around
But you're nowhere to be found
Oh, how you bewilder me

Befuddled, bewildered, bewitched and bemused
Little by little, I'm becoming unglued
So I'll just let it slide, go along for the ride
Be satisfied for now that I'm...

Bedazzled
Knocked me right out of my tree
Oh, why should I complain
I'm perfectly insane
You bewildered me

Astonished, astounded, adrift and amused
There’s not enough verbs I can possibly choose
So I'll just let it glide, take a step to one side
And be satisfied for now that I'm...

Knocked me right out of my tree
Oh, why should I complain
I'm perfectly insane
You bewildered me

Ooh oh 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh 

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Bedazzled

EVERY SINGLE DAY
Words and Music © Brent Lillie

The lights are on, the siren screams but the driver of that limousine
Won't get out of the way
In the back it's touch, and go they've done their best but they both know
They've lost him
And as their ambulance turns in the drive they try to keep their hopes alive
They'd like to hang around, but it's not, in their hands now     
   
Every single day they put themselves in danger
They don't trim the hedge they don't paint the fence they save a stranger
Every single day, in a thousand ways they make that play
That turns a life around all for a workin' man's pay
Every single day, yeah, yeah, yeah

He'd like to spend the night at home, he's got a daughter of his own
It's her birthday, she's eight years old
But he can sense a fire before it takes and it won't be on her birthday cake
And his phone rings
Now he's on a mountain side, backburn's failed, there's a wall of fire
And he wonders how it came to this, and a little girl makes a wish

Every single day they put themselves in danger
They don't trim the hedge they don't paint the fence they save a stranger
Every single day, in a thousand ways they make that play
That turns a life around all for a workin' man's pay
Every single day, yeah, yeah, yeah
Every single day, yeah, yeah, oh yeah

It's too hard to describe
So you keep it, deep inside, and say
There but for the grace of God go I

The badge she wears can't hide the truth she's not ten foot tall or bulletproof
But she can't let it show
Yeah, it's times like these that bring it home when you've got a family of your own
She knocks on the door
It opens and a hopeful face sees someone else in Daddy's place
And the little girl, she's about eight, holds out, a piece of birthday cake

Every single day they put themselves in danger
They don't trim the hedge they don't paint the fence they save a stranger
Every single day, in a thousand ways they make that play
That turns a life around all for a workin' man's pay
Every single day, yeah, yeah, yeah
They turn another life around all for a workin' man's pay
Every single day, yeah, yeah, yeah

Every Single Day

AS IF
Music and Lyrics (c) Brent Lillie


It’s like gravity is getting lighter every day
It’s like the stars are burning brighter in the Milky Way
It's like the feeling that I get before a long weekend
Babe I never want to lose this special thing I've found 
As if I'd ever leave you when the chips were down

As if I'd ever change things
As if I'd ever let you go 
As if, I don't want to, re-arrange things 
I sure as hell love living with this devil that I know

It’s like gravity is getting lighter every day
It’s like the stars are burning brighter in the Milky Way
It's like the feeling that I get before a long weekend
You’re what I’m looking for, dreaming of, waiting for
Your love, babe, just keeps me wanting more and more and more

As if I'd ever change things
As if I'd ever let you go 
As if, I don't want to, re-arrange things 
Because a little slice of heaven sure beats living with the devil that you know

Well, looking back it seems I've always had the blues
And since I met you baby there's been hard times too
But when we stick together we sure hug the curves
You make my heart beat faster than a hummingbird's

As if I'd ever change things
As if I'd ever let you go 
As if, I don't want to, re-arrange things 
Because I sure as hell love living with this devil that I know

It’s like gravity is getting lighter every day
It’s like the stars are burning brighter in the Milky Way
It's like the feeling that I get before a long weekend

As if I'd ever change things
As if I'd ever let you go 
I don't want to, re-arrange things 
Because I sure as hell love living with this devil that I know

As If

LIVIN’ IN RETROSPECT
Lyrics and Music © by Brent Lillie

This town’s got a funny name
Take a right at Angry and a left at Blame
Just a daydream from your easy chair
I know you're gonna love it here

Man oh man you can buy a house
Before the prices or the rates blew out
All your horses win by a neck
We’re all winners in Retrospect

Pick any scratch card and you’re set for life
Perfect woman for your loving wife
Make a fortune on those mining shares
Ain't no losers in Retrospect

In Retrospect you can buy a house
Before the price or the rates blew out
Never pay a penny to the I. R. S. 
You’re a winner in Retrospect

And if I say to you, 'hey have a real nice day'
There’s a lot of truth in the old cliche
But you’ll never find it on your GPS
Easy Street in Retrospect

Retrospect’s where you live the dream
Never spill the milk and only get the cream
You never see a single derelict
On Easy Street in Retrospect

Retrospect’s where you live the dream
Never spill the milk and only get the cream
You never see a single derelict
On Easy Street in Retrospect

In Retrospect you can buy a house
Before the price or the rates blew out
Never pay a penny to the I. R. S. 
Everyone’s a winner in Retrospect

Woh ooh oh yeah
Sittin' at home in your easy chair
But buddy you ain't really goin' anywhere
When you're livin' in Retrospect

Livin' In Retrospect

Lyrics by Brent Lillie, audio generated by suno ai, editing, arrangement and mastering by Brent Lillie

Life's casino
Is open day and night
You can always find a table
And they never dim the lights.

Hundred dollar tables
Or on a cent machine
No-one ever leaves here
Even in their dreams

But if I play my cards right
Will you be mine
Will you walk down with me 
To the shinin’ sand
And if I play my cards right
Will you be mine
Will you change my luck and touch my hand

Oh yeah

Every time I see you 
Every time we touch 
We dance alone amongst the chaos 
So will you promise me this much

If I play my cards right
Will you be mine
Will you walk down with me 
To the shinin’ sand
And if I play my cards right
Will you be mine
Will you change my luck and touch my hand, oh yeah

Oh yeah

If I play my cards right
Will you be mine
Will you walk down with me 
To the shining sand
And if I play my cards right
Will you be mine
Will you change my luck and touch my hand

If I play my cards right will you be mine

Yeah ooh ooh ooh oh

Will you change my luck and touch my hand

If I Play My Cards Right

lyrics by Brent Lillie, light audio generated by udio, editing, arrangement by Brent Lillie

I'd buy you roses every day
And on a yacht we'd sail away
We wouldn't need to have a crew
If I could only be with you
You could make my dreams come true
I could only be with you, oh yeah
             
When it's getting cold at night
We could talk beside the firelight
Imagine all the things we'd do 
If I could only be with you
You could make my dreams come true
I could only be with you

You're so near and yet so far
It's like reaching out to touch a star
I guess I wouldn't feel so blue
If I could only be with you
You could make my dreams come true
If I could only be with you, mmm

When it's getting cold at night
We could talk beside the firelight
Imagine all the things we'd do
If I could only be with you
You could make my dreams come true
If I could only be 
If I could only be with you

Mmmm mmm
Mmmm oh oh oh
Oh oh oh 
Mmm
I thought you always knew
I could only be with you
I could only be with you

I Could Only Be With You

DRIFTWOOD
Words and Music (c) Brent Lillie and Suno AI

Bought myself an old guitar
practiced long and practiced hard
Got a gig at a local bar
Bought myself an old guitar

Got a gig on an ocean cruise
With a band playin' rock and blues
Lots of ladies lots of booze
Got a gig on an ocean cruise

Called that guitar Driftwood
My God, it sounded so good
Singin’ yeah yeah yeah 
Took that guitar everywhere
Round trip to where I started from
Round trip and I did it for a song

Got a gig in a big-name band oh
Playing spots across the land
Spent my time doing one night stands
Got a gig in a big-name band

Wrote a song on my guitar oh
Made it big and travelled far oh
Spent my time amongst the stars oh
Wrote a song on my guitar oh oh

Called that guitar Driftwood
OMG it sounded so good
Singin’ yeah yeah yeah yeah
Took that guitar everywhere
Round trip, to where I started from
Round trip, and I did it for a song

Oh oh oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Came down hard and came down fast
Taxman came and kicked my ass
Sold my houses, sold my cars
All I had left was my old guitar

So I got a gig at a local bar
Some guy remembers who you are
Put some dollars in the jar
And I'll play my song on this old guitar



Called that guitar Driftwood
OMG it sounded so good
Singin’ yeah yeah yeah yeah
Took that guitar everywhere
Round trip, to where I started from
Round trip, and I did it for a song

Oh oh oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

SOMETHING OF SILVER
Lyrics (c) Brent Lillie/ Audio (c) Udio AI

Something
Something
Something of silver

Oh, why must you leave me, why must you go
Somehow I must tell you, I need you so
You're leaving this morning on the eight-thirty plane
And if I miss this chance, I won't see you again

Oh oh oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh oh 
Ah ah ah ah ah 

I rush to the airport, I must be on time
It's a matter of seconds, will you be mine
I'm here at the gates now and can only stand by
As your silver white jet plane reaches up for the sky

Something of silver took her away
I wanted to tell her I loved her today
If I would have told her, would she have stayed
And worn something of silver, with three words engraved

Within that jet plane is a tender young girl
Bound for a new and challenging world
I'd love to be with her as on the four winds she rides
May the sun warm your wings, and your dreams lift you high

Something of silver took her away
I wanted to tell her I loved her today
If I could have told her, would she have stayed
And worn something of silver, with three words engraved

Something
Something
Something
Something
Something
Of silver

Something Of Silver

BIG BROKEN HEART
Lyrics and Music (c) Brent Lillie and Udio

Woh oh, I can see it
Just up ahead, can you see it too?
Ah man, the sight of it always gives me the blues

They built a tourist, attraction 
Out in the boonies where it rains all the time
Where everything's, rusted and run down
But they keep rollin’ up in sad, endless lines

Just a Big Broken Heart
They’ll find some company here
At the Big Broken Heart
Down by the River of Tears 
It stands ten stories high
Painted in blue
With a crack down the middle 
You could drive a Cadillac through

There’s a red rollercoaster called The Story of Love
It starts on a high and it’s surrounded by doves
There's ups and there's downs, there's twists and there's turns
And by the end of the ride, everyone’s learned
That sometimes you get burned
You get burned

At the Big Broken Heart
They’ll find some company here
At the Big Broken Heart
Down by the River of Tears 
It stands ten stories high
Painted in blue
With a crack down the middle 
You could drive a Cadillac through

Maybe one day the sunshine will break through the pines
And all the lost and the lonely will stumble into the light
And the Big Broken Heart will finally mend
So everyone here, can find love again

Just a Big Broken Heart
They’ll find some company here
At the Big Broken Heart
Down by the River of Tears 
It stands ten stories high
Painted in blue
With a crack down the middle 
You could drive a Cadillac through
