Lyrics & Melody by Daniel Cheong
Guitars by Winston Saw

In your eyes
Don't you know
The world revolves around you
Oblivious to all things that are
dangerous to your innocence

but you...
Were brave enough to walk towards me
and you...
were brave enough to take my hand
and say that..

we could fix this world and we could
pickup all those misunderstood 
heartbreaks and heartaches and
with some sticky tape
and tender love
put pieces back together
before it all ends
before its time for bed

Before its time for bed

BACK AGAIN
2009 June

V1
It took us so so long to meet
Finally our paths, crossed, once again
And just as when things are getting really cosy
you left me.. in the pouring cold cold rain

Pre-chorus
Meanwhile i'll be praying 
safe journeys smooth sailing
to whereever you go
i'll be waiting at home

Chorus
when are you coming back again?
when will i see your smile again?
I Hope that it'll be soon enough
(I Hope it wont be too long)

when are you coming back again?
when will i see your smile again?
I hope that it'll seem like yesterday

V2
It was So so hard to find the time
finally 1 slot, was right, despite our schedules so tight
Thought you'd linger much more longer, but unfinished mocha, you left me
alone to fight the lonesome night

bridge
yesterday... You left the fragrance in my mind
And everytime i look at the sky your face it seems to shine.

description:
He puts in so much effort and much waiting, just to set up a date with her. The day finally came but, she had to leave midway.

Story behind this song:
I seem to always end up falling for girls whose schedules constantly clash with mine. Its like God is trying to keep me away from those girls or something. 



Back Again

Coming Over
18/8/2011
Side Chair

V1:
Too many times I’ve walked this road
Couldn't make the stand
That I chose

Too many times I’ve reasoned out
Couldn't understand
Why it’s.. raining down on me again

Pre-C:
but When you have decided on your heart
When you have decided that enough is enough 
You'll lose your life for life worth living for.. 
For more.. 

Chorus:
Every time I close my eyes
All I can see inside is
When you are coming over

Every night I close my life
Just to hear you say
You and I will be forever

Verse2
I've spent my life on tomorrows
Avoiding rainy days
It’s no pretty thing

Dreaming of stars in my galaxy
But cloudy is today
And it’s raining down on me again

Bridge
Over 
Simplified they think I’m blind
Bolder
Day by day I know I’m right
Closer
I see your face and hear your light 
Sober
Now awake my heart is alive

Description of the song:
You've been waiting and procrastinating for too long.  Turned back and retreat when the going gets tough, daydreaming and thinking of tomorrow. Everyone seems to be throwing a stone. Now you made up your mind, to leave your past for something more.

Coming over (unplugged)

Desperado
28/6/2011
Side Chair

Verse1
I never thought that i would feel this way
Part of me wants her to stay
The others tellin me that she's not worth it anymore
Caught between my heart and head

PreC
But (and) she's so.. Beautiful
And oh so.. Natural
And all that i wanted and more

Yet she never fails
Leaving you just in time
When ya so undone and hanging on to something thats gone

Chorus
don't wanna be some desperado
you're not everything in life
But i realised
You chained my heart
And ran away with the key

Don't wanna be some desperado
You don't own my life
don't you realise you chained my heart 
Ran away with the key
(and again and again) 

Verse2
I never thought that i would be this way
Replaying tragedies on my bed  
A tinge of sympathy says that shes not
All that bad at all
Caught between my heart and head

Bridge
Unicorn 
No one can tie you down
Feeling sore
Thought i could be The one
Gave it All 
I was bait but she was strong
Made me fall
For my chains, she was gone


155 tempo

Description of the song:
A girl who just comes in and out of your life. Giving you hope of something permanent, then suddenly leaving you undone, shattering your heart again.

Story behind the song:
When I first got to know her, it was so hard to find the time to get to know her more. And every anticipating meet up turned into a fantasy of how great she was. And when I decided that she was not for me, somehow she just drops into my life again, giving  all sorts of mixed messages.. tripping me up. Thats why i called her the unicorn. Mythical, hard to catch, mysterious, and beautiful all at once.

Your Highness 
30 nov 2009
beat 80

V1
It's so clear and knowing you
definitely paid your dues
only to have it abused
i'm not amused

pointing fingers and accuse
obvious injustice to you
oblivious to their point of view
they're in this too

PC
can you choose who your parents were
stop hurricanes from moving into your world
is there security, your money they hold
can you honestly promise, your feelings 
never grows cold

Chorus
your highness let it go
of things you cannot control
the world is not your own
it's impossible to force one to love

V2
misinformed misunderstood
having done all that you could
claiming Crowns can make every rule
so you assumed

high ideals let it unveil 
thinking things are heading for pompous gratitude
forgetting perfection's relative to you

Bridge
fists on tables let
these emotions vent
we're not meant to keep
up stiff upper lips

stop this arguement
with your self lament
we're not meant to keep
life on quarantine


Song is about:
Against the idealistic mind of fairness, justice and cause & effect.

Inspired by:
Alot of us dreamers start off pure and idealistic. Wanting to change the world and be admired and respected and all... until we get slapped in the face that people may not appreciate or even notice our efforts. Then we go on blaming the world, then ourselves, then finally maturing and seeing the world for what it is.




Your Highness

Biscuits and Milo (25/02/08)

Verse 1
Running till no breath is left
Finally a place of rest
Some people say it’s protection
I call it a fence

Is it an offence, to flee in defence?
Can 8000 mentally distressed?
Women children were not spared
Wounds to the heart by bullets

Pre-chorus
The more they know the more they cry
Calling for angels from the sky
In unknown language 
But you understand, it’s
For their lives

Chorus
A nod and knees bent
Two hands together, Asking for
Nothing more 
Than Biscuits and Milo

Reach down to them
Look into their eyes
You could almost hear
I don’t wanna die

Verse 2
The powers have agreed on
This is not where they belong
Send them back once and for all
Deal with them out of my soil.

A couple of separated
Some choices have been made it
I'd rather forsake myself here	
Than to relive my fears 
 
Bridge
Almost giving up this part
Hope shines from the dark
But all of this superficially
Are temporary means to live

Maybe It’s the extra dollars
Maybe it’s the fear of spiders
Maybe it’s the heart so very cold
Is it working anymore.. no more?

Description of song:
The Hmongs are an ethnic group of people from Laos. Prior to the Viet war, they were mainly supporters of the democratic party. 

During the Viet war against the communist military government, the US recruited them as spies. They were promised security and protection for their war efforts.

However, when the war ended and the communist won, the US pulled out, leaving the Hmongs defenseless.This was then the start of a genocide of their kind by the Laos military government. 

They fled into the mountainous regions, out of reach from civilization. Things left as such until 2004, when the Laos military took an active step in eradicating them.

There were inside reports stating that there were mass killings, torture and rape by the military. This forced the people to flee further to the borders of Laos, and eventually crossing into Thailand.

Now, about 8000 of the refugees are concentrated in a camp near Petchaboon. They are scheduled to be deported back to Laos due to political reasons. 

A lot of them fear this to the point of suicide. Some poisoned themselves by eating pesticides when they knew that they were going to be deported.
