A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING 
(c) 2025 Cooper/Jones

There’s a first time for everything 
Were the last words he spoke 
Who knows what tomorrow might bring 
When the darkness sheds it’s cloak
I doubt it will bring solace I doubt it will bring joy 
A woman now but I was still
His little girl holdin’ her toy 

There’s a first time for everything 
He laughed as he taught me to swim  
Don’t be nervous, just jump right in
Were the right words from him  
Grab life right by the throat  
And don’t ever let it go  
I always heeded his advice  
And last night I told him so 

There’s a first time for everything 
He whispered as he held my son 
His features slowly softening 
As proud as anyone
He was grateful for each new day  
He believed he’d been blessed 
He worked hard and he played hard  
And now he’s earned his rest 

Late into the evening
Surrounded by his loving folk 
There’s a first time for everything
Were the last words he spoke 

There's A First Time For Everything

BREAK MY OWN HEART 
(c) 2025 Cooper/Jones
   
To end the pain and misery
I gotta let you go you see
I know you`ll never be with me
So to keep some dignity
 
I`m gonna break my own heart
Before it tears me apart
This love ain`t never gonna start
So I am gonna have to break my own heart
 
I gotta walk away from you
There`s nothing` else that I can do
My dream`s are never comin` true
I guess I always really knew
 
I`m gonna break my own heart
Before it tears me apart
This love ain`t never gonna start
So I am gonna have to break my own heart
 
It`s not your fault I feel this way
But I get sadder every day
In another life we may
Find everything’d be okay
 
Before I do something that`s wrong
I gotta move myself along
Bite the bullet and stay strong
Shut my eyes and hold my tongue
 
I`m gonna break my own heart
Before it tears me apart
This love ain`t never gonna start
So I am gonna have to break my own heart


Break My Own Heart

EVERY NOW AND THEN 
(C) 2025 Cooper/Jones      
 
Every now and then a day arrives when you’re not ready
The pieces aren’t in place and it doesn’t feel right
You go from room to room but your steps are unsteady
Can’t concentrate on anything or focus on the light
 
Every now and then
Who knows why or when
We slip beneath the bar we’ve raised so high
Count from one to ten
But if that fails my friend
It’s okay every now and then to cry
 
Every now and then a doubtful thought’ll cross your mind
Making you unsure of what your heart holds dear
Uncertain of yourself and unable to unwind
Decisions can’t be made and the answers aren’t clear
 
Every now and then
Who knows why or when
We slip beneath the bar we’ve raised so high
Count from one to ten
But if that fails my friend
It’s okay every now and then to cry
 
If you just let it go
Let those teardrops flow
Taking with them all your miseries
A new day will soon dawn

Every now and then
Who knows why or when
We slip beneath the bar we’ve raised so high
Count from one to ten
But if that fails my friend
It’s okay every now and then to cry


Every Now And Then

SONGS OF LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP  
2025 Cooper Jones 
 
Well a child is born – on a winter’s morn 
There’s a new mouth to be fed 
And the world’ll turn - and the child’ll learn 
That we’re not all united 
But a mother’s smile - and a friend worthwhile 
Is a lighter load – on the rocky road 

So keep in mind the songs of love and friendship 
When you’re feelin’ down – and no-one’s around  
There’s still one thing you can do 
Just keep in mind the songs of love and friendship 
‘Cos we all have times – when music and rhymes  
Will help us to pull through  

Well a boy meets girl - in a troubled world 
All at once the romance starts 
Everywhere – gloom and despair  
But it’s safe within their hearts 
Love may grow – for all they know 
Or love may fade – with the plans they made  

So keep in mind the songs of love and friendship 
When you’re feelin’ down – and no-one’s around  
There’s still one thing you can do 
Just keep in mind the songs of love and friendship 
‘Cos we all have times – when music and rhymes 
Will help us to pull through 

Well it just depends – where the journey ends 
There’s no way to know for sure 
When the time arrives – will we feel our lives 
Were fulfilled or still want more 
Throughout the years – the laughter and tears 
Is a melody - and a memory 

So keep in mind the songs of love and friendship 
When you’re feelin’ down – and no-one’s around  
There’s still one thing you can do 
Just keep in mind the songs of love and friendship 
‘Cos we all have times – when music and rhymes  
Will help us to pull through  



Songs Of Love And Friendship

NO PRESSURE
(c) 2025 Cooper/Jones

I want to hear from ya
See ya
Grab all of your attention 
But... no pressure, no pressure

Wanna be with ya
Near ya
Gotta hear my name mentioned
But…no pressure, no pressure 

Oh you’re so dreamy 
Hot and steamy 
Can’t wait to blow the lid off this 
You’re outta this world 
So marvellous 
I can barely
keep my hands to myself 
...but no pressure, no pressure 
from me

Wanna see ya now
If you allow 
Well that’s my confession 
But... no pressure, no pressure 

Give me a sign
You’re mine 
I’ll show you my intentions 
But...no pressure no pressure 

Oh you’re so dreamy 
Hot and steamy 
Can’t wait to blow the lid off this 
You’re outta this world 
So marvellous 
I can barely
keep my hands to myself 
...but no pressure, no pressure 
from me

If I had my fantasy made to measure
Someone to dream about and treasure
A love I know would give so much pleasure
That’s you, that’s you, you…but no pressure, no pressure from me

but no pressure, no pressure
from me


No Pressure

EITHER WAY WHENEVER
2025 Cooper/Jones

Let’s keep it light, let’s keep it cool
Either way whenever 
No fuss, no pressure, no written rules 
Easy, hey whatever
Right click
left click
write me
text me
Either way whenever

Got my shades on and I’m game on
Cruising down the information highway
Stopping at whatever catches my eye
Scrolling through lives like a heyday
Got time to kill and I need a thrill tonight


Let’s keep it light, let’s keep it cool
Either way whenever 
No fuss, no pressure, no written rules 
Easy, hey whatever
Right click
left click
write me
text me
Either way whenever

Wearing down my chair I sit and I stare
the screen’s got me reeling on the spot
Flicking through the hot shots and what’s not
reading all the gossip til I’m lost
Got time to chill and I need a thrill tonight

Let’s keep it light, let’s keep it cool
Either way whenever 
No fuss, no pressure, no written rules 
Easy, hey whatever
Right click
left click
write me
text me
Either way whenever

Got my halo slipping’ low
Pushing it up til I can convince 
The image in the mirror that I am this prince-less or more that they love an’ adore
Got time to fill and I need a thrill tonight

Let’s keep it light, let’s keep it cool
Either way whenever 
No fuss, no pressure, no written rules 
Easy, hey whatever
Right click
left click
write me
text me
Either way whenever

Either Way Whenever

I NEED YOU NOW
2025 Cooper Jones

I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
You better get here quick, and I don’t care how
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
‘Cos you’re the bee’s knees baby and the cat’s meow

I tell you what I’m dealin’ with
A fierce deep-rooted feelin’ with
Only one conclusion
And you’re the one solution (stop)

I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
You better get here quick, and I don’t care how
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
‘Cos you’re the bee’s knees baby and the cat’s meow

An overwhelming sensation
Craving for pure elation
Is consuming my whole being
I know what would stop me reelin’

For this kind of fever
You are my pain reliever
Don’t need a diagnosis
Just you in great big doses
 
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
You better get here quick, and I don’t care how
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
‘Cos you’re the bee’s knees baby and the cat’s meow

Instr.

I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
You better get here quick, and I don’t care how
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
‘Cos you’re the bee’s knees baby and the cat’s meow


I Need You Now

WHERE THE WILD THINGS BLOOM
© 2025 Cooper Jones

VERSE 
They grow where no one planted seeds
Between the cracks, among the weeds
No garden walls, no perfect place
With golden hearts and violet grace

VERSE 
They don’t get watered, they don’t get praise
But still rise up through summer days 
The bees will know just where to land
No map, no rules, they understand 

CHORUS   
Where the wild things bloom
Untamed, untuned
They fragrance the air with their fair perfume 
Where the wild things bloom

VERSE 
Poppy, Daisy, Dandelion
Ignore a world that rushes by ‘em
Every stem a quiet stand
Against the grip of human hands

CHORUS 
Where the wild things bloom
Untamed, untuned
They fragrance the air with their fair perfume 
Where the wild things bloom

BRIDGE  
We pave and prune, we trim and tame
Then ask why butterflies don’t stay
But life won’t wait for neat straight rows
More grows in the garden than the gardener sows 

CHORUS 
Where the wild things bloom
Untamed, untuned
They fragrance the air with their fair perfume  

REPRISE
Where the wild things bloom
Anywhere there’s room 
They’re born from the warm Mother Nature’s womb
Where the wild things bloom


More grows in the garden than the gardener sows—
Spanish proverb

Where The Wild Things Bloom

BEER IS NOT A BREAKFAST DRINK (Cooper/Jones)
© 2025 All Rights Reserved

I know I should be eatin’ right 
But I lost my appetite 
I know I left it somewhere here 
On the night you disappeared

Beer is not a breakfast drink 
But I ain’t got nuttin’ to do but think
Sittin’ out here with a brew
Wonderin’ how I lost you 

Sure, I should be washin, shavin’ 
Not stink ‘n stubble, misbehavin’ 
Ain’t called mama in quite a while 
Done said I’m livin’ in denial 
 
Beer is not a breakfast drink 
But I ain’t got nuttin’ to do but think
Sittin’ out here with a brew
Wonderin’ how I lost you 

Ma good sense says what I should do
Is, “Git out there, find someone new”
But bad sense says “Nah, better stay
And sit and swig the day away”
 
Beer is not a breakfast drink 
But I ain’t got nuttin’ to do but think
Sittin’ out here with a brew
Wonderin’ how I lost you 

My empties litter up the floor
But when I call it quits 
I’ll line ‘em up, one by one 
And shoot ‘em all to bits 
 
Beer is not a breakfast drink 
But I ain’t got nuttin’ to do but think
Maybe it’s things like this I do
Is the reason why I lost you 



Beer is Not a Breakfast Drink

Everything Under The Sun
(c) 2018 Cooper/Jones
Lyrics Georgie Cooper
Music, Vox & Mandolin Gwyn Jones

VERSE
I want to take a chance on you
And throw all caution to the wind
I want to take a chance on love
Roll the dice and take a risk 

I want to get it right this time
Been treading water far too long 
I want to get it right this life 
Wasted years on something wrong 

CHORUS
I have a dream
And it’s you and me
That’s all I need
It’s everything under the sun
I have a dream
And it’s you and me
That’s all I need
It’s everything under the sun x2

VERSE
I want to be swept off my feet 
Not chasing shadows from the past
I want to give my heart for keeps
And to know in my soul it will last

CHORUS
I have a dream
And it’s you and me
That’s all I need
It’s everything under the sun
I have a dream
And it’s you and me
That’s all I need
It’s everything under the sun x2

VERSE
I want to have the biggest love
Not taking crumbs and hand me downs
I want to have the truest love
Going in and on the way out 

Rpt chorus

Everything Under The Sun

#FAWM collaboration with Rachelle Wells and her fine lyrics inspired by Emily Dickinson's poem Wild Nights - Wild Nights...
WILD NIGHTS (Wells/Jones)
(c) All Rights Reserved 2020

Might I be the answer that lies in the sea?
(Wild nights wild nights wild nights)
Wild nights should be a sweet luxury
(Wild nights wild nights)

Done with the compass done with the chart
(Rowing in Eden)
Strong winds blow me to a distant port
There you wait (you ache) you wait (you ache) for me

Tonight, tonight I look far and wide
(Wild nights wild nights wild nights)
To call you mine and be by your side
(Wild nights wild nights)

Done with the compass done with the chart
(Rowing in Eden)
Strong winds blow me to a distant port
There I wait (I wait) I wait (I wait) for thee

Done with the compass done with the chart
(Rowing in Eden)
Strong winds blow me to a distant port
There I wait (I ache) I wait (I ache) for thee
(Wild nights wild nights wild nights)

Wild Nights
