THE SHADOWLANDS 
2021 Cooper/Jones

We’re both on the run
From somethin’ or someone
Tryin’ to hunt us down
Coverin’ our tracks
Watchin’ our backs
Dodgin’ from town to town
 
One false move from me
Could prove to be
The last action we take
One loose word from you
May just undo
Any plans that we might make
 
Don’t let the left hand know
What the right hand's doin’
Don’t raise your head 'bove the parapet
‘Cos that would risk our ruin
In the shadowlands
 
There’s no hidin’ place
Or concealed face
Where safety’s guaranteed
The walls have ears
An eye appears
And that’s all the chance they need

Don’t let the left hand know
What the right hand's doin’
Don’t raise your head 'bove the parapet
‘Cos that would risk our ruin
Don’t let the left hand know
What the right hand's doin’
Keep your breathin’ low
Just stay incognito...
In the shadowlands

 
Keep them bridges burnin’
‘Cos there’s no returnin’
To the lives that we once had
Hounds are on our trail
And if they prevail
The outcome will be very bad
 
Don’t let the left hand know
What the right hand's doin’
Don’t raise your head 'bove the parapet
‘Cos that would risk our ruin
Don’t let the left hand know
What the right hand's doin’
Keep your breathin’ low
Just stay incognito...
In the shadowlands

Well well well 
Do you think it’s right to go to 
Sleep after a fight
I know you well well well
Stay awake and make good 
Ain’t like you so I say

Well well well
Do you think it’s fair to leave me 
Hanging on a word 
So treat me 
Well well well
No you never did
Start now I’d be suspicious 

A girl likes to to feel special 
And there’s only one girl in 
This creationship of ours 
Do you wanna make it better
You will have to work hard 

Well well well
Do you think it’s fair when you leave me 
Knowing I get needy keep me 
Well well well
I should be buzzing with your loving not sitting saying oh

Well well well
The bell is ringing for round two we’re doing 
well well well
You’re taking off the gloves when you should be making love

You seem to have things the wrong way round 
This isn’t how you get a girl to stick around
Try being nice for once
It won’t harm your manly front

Well well well
Life is short I’m a share it with someone deserving so fare
Well well well
I hope you’ll be learning to be a better person

Oh well

Well Well Well

Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time you did the dishes
You vacuumed the house
and even fed the fishes
You folded the laundry
Wiped everything clean
But that was once upon a time in a dream

Is it nice to sit on your backside
Enjoying the view from there
Is it fun or am I jumping the gun
As I’m doing the chores again

Once upon a time you did the dishes
You vacuumed the house
and even fed the fishes
You folded the laundry
Wiped everything clean
But that was once upon a time in a dream

Is it cool to chill while the rest of us are working
Like lackies we slave to put bread on the table 
But you get comfy, put your feet up
It’s not as if we need your help

Once upon a time you did the dishes
You vacuumed the house
and even fed the fishes
You folded the laundry
Wiped everything clean
But that was once upon a time in a dream

What I wouldn’t give for a knight in shining armour
With his six pack of polish, bleach and windowlene
His muscles big from scrubbing 
ooh I’d find that lovely

Once Upon A Time

YOU SAY GOODBYE FIRST 
2021 Cooper/Jones

Talking for hour after hour
On phones with  hardly any power
Making plans to meet up very soon 
Baby we were over the moon
 
The batteries were low
I knew you had to go
This was the part I used find the worst
Just A few seconds more
I would then implore
Baby, can YOU say goodbye first
 
We played this little game
Each time much the same
But it never felt over rehearsed
It brightened up the day
As we went on our way
Baby, can YOU say goodbye first
 
But you’d go no YOU say it
That way we would delay it
A few more stolen moments on the line
A feeling of elation
After each conversation
A sense that our connection was just fine
 
But the distance became wider
When you found a new provider
And the bubble we were in began to burst
The signal became clear
The end of call was near
But Baby, can YOU say goodbye first
 
We played that little game
But this time not the same
The charges of love had been reversed
It so darkened my day
As you went on your way
When baby, YOU said goodbye first

You Say Goodbye First

Through With You
Lyric (c)2021 Alex Klages (all rights reserved)

I've had some thinking time
Since you went away
Water under the bridge
Isn't that what they say?

I've had a lot of thoughts
Some good and some bad
And what I realize
Kind of makes me sad

Because I realize
And it's no surprise
Yeah I realize - at last...

You didn't care for me
The way I cared for you
You never wanted me
The way I wanted you
You didn't dream of me
The way I dreamed of you
You never would miss me
The way that I missed you
And now I'm through with you
I'm through with you

You didn't think of me
While I thought of you
And yet I think of you
Even when we’re through

And it hurts to know the truth
So painful and uncouth
Yeah I realize -  the truth...

You didn't care for me
The way I cared for you
You never wanted me
The way I wanted you
You didn't dream of me
The way I dreamed of you
You never would miss me
The way that I missed you
And now I'm through with you
I'm through with you

Through With You

HELLO TO YOUR BEST GOODBYE
Words by Kevin Connelly
Music by Georgie Cooper

Had it been a year or two
Trysty dates there’d been a few 
Never thought I’d hear from you 
Then to my surprise

When you stepped out that London fog 
Confusion crossed my face
 I wasn’t kind when we left  
But you were full of grace

 I didn’t know I just said hello 
To one of your best good byes 
Just said hello 
to one of your best goodbyes

 I was trying to catch up 
While you were in the lead 
A slow roll around upstairs 
Another lap agreed

You have to be up early 
Tomorrow heading west 
Said you have to hit the road 
So I guess we should get dressed

CHORUS
I Didn’t know I’d just said hello 
To one of your best good byes

Maybe you can step outside
 and come back in again 
Then we can - say hello 
And good-bye again

Instrumental

Maybe you can step outside
 and come back in again 
Then we can - say hello
 And good-bye again
But I know you have to go
And This will be the end 
You made me realise 
I’d said hello your best good-bye

Hello To Your Best Goodbye

Lyrics by Gwyn Jones
 
VERSE    
Like bluebells during April
Or roses in July
Make the most of them
Before they wither and they die
For like everything that’s living
Underneath the sky
REFRAIN
They won’t be around forever, forever, no
They won’t be around forever, forever, no

VERSE 
The ones that you are closest to
Make sure that they know
For there are so many crossroads
And one day they might just go
Hold them close while you can
And let your feelings show
REFRAIN
They won’t be around forever, forever, no
They won’t be around forever, forever, no
 
VERSE  
You make your plans and strive for
What you want to achieve
And miss the bigger picture
Believing in what you believe
But sometimes it’s just good
To count the blessings you’ve received
REFRAIN
You won’t be around forever, forever, no
You won’t be around forever, forever, no

BRIDGE
Forever and always is a place we’ll never find
But we can have a warm heart and a peaceful mind
If our time is spent with love in a way gentle and kind
Then love will be around and love will  survive...

Forever & Always

THE COLOUR OF A SUNDAY MORNING

VERSE
Two wine glasses upon the side 
Shoes abandoned right nearby
These little clues they give away
Just how late we stayed awake

PC
Saturday night’s alright
With it’s colourful neon lights
But it’s waking up to the grey

CHORUS
That’s the colour of a Sunday morning
Lying in bed with you 
Touching feet beneath the sheets, no one to tell us to get up and run into the day 
It says no rush no where to be, but here with you holding me
That’s the colour of a Sunday morning

VERSE 2
Two bathrobes thrown upon the floor
And candles burned down low
Confessions waiting to betray 
The scene in here we played 

PC 
Saturday night’s alright
With it’s colourful neon lights
But it’s waking up to the grey

CHORUS
That’s the colour of a Sunday morning
Lying in bed with you 
Touching feet beneath the sheets, no one to tell us to get up and run into the day 
It says no rush no where to be, but here with you holding me
That’s the colour of a Sunday morning

BRIDGE
You can keep your blue skies
I would rather have my silver lining 
You can save your rainbow shades
I’ll take my favourite grey any day

CHORUS
That’s the colour of a Sunday morning
Lying in bed with you 
Touching feet beneath the sheets, no one to tell us to get up and run into the day 
It says no rush no where to be, but here with you holding me
Permission to do nothing at all but pull the covers over us
It says no rush no where to be, but here with you holding me
That’s the colour of a Sunday morning
The colour of a Sunday morning

YOU FEEL LIKE HOME

I was looking for you…though I hadn’t realised it
But as soon as we met…I instantly recognised it
Like we were soulmates…born to be as one
Life came to life…and my search was done

You feel like home…where I long to be
You feel like home…the best place for me
Where I lay my head…where I can be free
You feel like home…where I long to be

My deepest longings…I share only with you
Your strength and kindness…will always pull me through
So easy and natural…you alone hold the key
To open the door…to every level in me
 
You feel like home…where I long to be
You feel like home…the best place for me
Where I lay my head…where I can be free
You feel like home…where I long to be

There’s a before and after
To my journey so far 
The joy and the laughter
Began right where you are

You feel like home…where I long to be
You feel like home…the best place for me
Where I lay my head…where I can be free
You feel like home…where I long to be

You Feel Like Home

CADILLAC CABRIOLET - Cooper/Jones
(C) All Rights Reserved 2018

Do you remember that endless drive across the USA
Back in 1998 in that Cadillac Cabriolet
Burning rubber in top gear along the wide freeway
You and me and no worries in that Cadillac Cabriolet

Pedal to the metal – Foot to the floor
From the Atlantic Coast to the Pacific Shore
Radio blasting all the way
In that Cadillac Cabriolet

Do you remember the stops we made at the end of every day
Drinkin’ 'n' makin’ out in a Cadillac Cabriolet
Eggs ‘n’ coffee at some roadside café
Then turnin' on the ignition in that Cadillac Cabriolet

Pedal to the metal – Foot to the floor
From the Atlantic Coast to the Pacific Shore
Radio blasting all the way
In that Cadillac Cabriolet

Do you remember that endless drive across the USA
Back in 1998 in that Cadillac Cabriolet

Pedal to the metal – Foot to the floor
From the Atlantic Coast to the Pacific Shore
Radio blasting all the way
In that Cadillac Cabriolet

Pedal to the metal – Foot to the floor
From the Atlantic Coast to the Pacific Shore
Radio blasting all the way
In that Cadillac Cabriolet
