It’s A Dirty Job (But Someone’s Gotta Do It)

Cleaning up after you and the mess that you make
Is a thankless task, there’s no give or take
I have to hold my nose in order to get through it
It’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it
 
I can think of better ways to spend my time
Than removing evidence from the scene of the crime
There was gonna be a backlash and you knew it
It’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it
 
You’ve got blood on your hands
And a target on your back
One day they’ll hang you high
Or you’ll have a heart attack
 'til then it’s down to me
To stay one step ahead
Bite the very bullet
That would see you dead
 
Challenging you is strictly forbidden
But I know where all the bodies are hidden
So look after me or I might think screw it
It’s a dirty job and I don’t wanna do it…

You’ve got blood on your hands
And a target on your back
One day they’ll hang you high
Or you’ll have a heart attack
 'til then it’s down to me
To stay one step ahead
Bite the very bullet
That would see you dead

You’ve got blood on your hands
And a target on your back
One day they’ll hang you high
Or you’ll have a heart attack
 'til then it’s down to me
To stay one step ahead
Bite the very bullet
That would see you dead

HELLO TO YOUR BEST GOODBYE

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

Holy Hobbits Batman

I was driving into town on a grey afternoon
When a Ford in front with a sticker on it's boot
Proclaimed it contained baby Hobbits in the back
I assumed they'd be in the boot in a sack

Hey hey holy Hobbits Batman
Hide your hot-dogs mate
They don't want the Allbran
They won't eat After-Eights

I had entered the store with my squirty anti-bac
Grabbed a trolley to fill with some tubes of anti-plaque
Pulled my mask down tight an checked my BO
When the little hairy Hobbits stole my chocolate snacks

Hey hey holy Hobbits Batman
Hide your hot-dogs mate
They don't want the Allbran
They won't eat After-Eights
Hey hey holy Hobbits Batman
No need to castrate
They don't want your girlfriend
Only hot-dogs work as bait

I was spitting curses loudly as I ran right after them
But their tiny legs were powered by my Coke, ahem
I thought that I could trap them with a bag of sausages
But the bastards grabbed the lot an ran round the bend

Hey hey holy Hobbits Batman
Hide your hot-dogs mate
They don't want the Allbran
They won't eat After-Eights
Hey hey holy Hobbits Batman
No need to castrate
They don't want your girlfriend
Only hot-dogs work as bait

The battle it was fierce and the carnage it was bloody
I didn't have the time to call my Robin buddy
I stuffed them in my trolley an covered them with tins
Of cat food and peaches and potatoes for the puppy

Verse 5
Now the moral of this tale is as old as I am not
A Hobbit kills for hot-dogs and my rep it counts for squat
I thought that I could hide them an sell to Peter J
But all I have is bruises and my ego is distraught

Chorus
Hey hey holy Hobbits Batman
Hide your hot-dogs mate
They don't want the Allbran
They won't eat After-Eights
Hey hey holy Hobbits Batman
No need to castrate
They don't want your girlfriend
Only hot-dogs work as bait

Holy Hobbits Batman

That's Why My Heart Has Beats

I live for the bass that will stir my soul
I give all of myself without control
I can’t not dance when the volume's high
I can’t sit down, and I tell you why…
 
Boom boom …that’s why my heart has beats
Boom boom …and on and on repeats
Boom boom …that’s why my heart has beats
 
My veins are fuelled by my drug of choice
The strains of an iridescent voice
Calling me straight onto the floor
Urging me to shout out for more…
 
Boom boom …that’s why my heart has beats
Boom boom …and on and on repeats
Boom boom …that’s why my heart has beats
 
Once I get my head stuck in that groove
Nothing on this earth's gonna stop me move
Feel that inner fire…feel that energy
Completely overpowering me…
 
Boom boom …that’s why my heart has beats
Boom boom …and on and on repeats
Boom boom …that’s why my heart has beats

That's Why My Heart Has Beats

ALL ROADS LEAD BACK TO YOU
2021 Cooper Jones  
All Rights Reserved

I’ve walked down the path of destruction 
And I’ve walked down the path that’s true
 I’ve been a long way round to the place I’ve found 
'Cos all roads lead back to you 
Yes all roads lead back to you

And I’ve been to the edge of the cliffs of doom 
And I've stared long and hard at the view 
I’ve paid the full fare to get away from there
 But all roads lead back to you
All roads lead back to you

I’ve tried to start new voyages
 I’ve crossed the river wide
 I can get away from concrete and clay 
But not how I feel inside

 And I’ve booked on the train to who knows where 
It’s a one-way ticket through 
However far I go it remains so
 All roads lead back to you
All roads lead back to you

Now I’ve run away from memories 
I’ve done as much I can do
But I’m resigned in my heart and mind
 All roads lead back to you 

And I’m praying you’re only one step away
 From coming back from out of the blue
 But as for me my destiny 
Means that all roads lead back to you 
All roads lead back to you 
All roads lead back to you

All Roads Lead Back To You

TEA AND TOAST

Hanging out with you is so easy 
We never tire of shootin’ the breezy 
We’ve always had so much in common
We’re like peas that keep on poddin’
Chances are we’re from the same star 
I’m never lettin’ you stray too far 

Because I love you the most 
We go together like tea and toast 
You’re the splash of milk in my cup 
And I’m the butter upon your crust

You and me we got this thing down
Spreadin’ that sweet jam all around 
Too many happy days to mention 
Since the day you caught my attention
Chances are we’re from the same star 
Swingin’ on a parallel bar 

Because I love you the most 
We go together like tea and toast 
You’re the splash of milk in my cup 
And I’m the butter upon your crust
 
SCAT

Being your guy makes me float so high 
I’ll follow you across the sky 
Just take my hand let the music play 
Together swoonin’ as we sway 
Chances are we’re from the same star 
Hallelujah! Hooray and Huzzah!

Because I love you the most 
We go together like tea and toast 
You’re the splash of milk in my cup 
And I’m the butter upon your crust

GREEN EYES
2022 Cooper/Jones - Lyrics by Patty LaKamp
All Rights Reserved

You say you flew to Paris 
When St. Thomas got too hot 
I’d like to say I’m glad for you 
But honestly, I’m not 

V2 
You never check a price tag 
And you always have a tan 
I don’t want to live like you do 
But I’m jealous that you can 

Ch 
Green eyes are making me blue
Why, oh why, do I compare myself to you
Green eyes are making me blue
I don’t even want to do the things you do
Green eyes, my green eyes
Green eyes are making me blue

V3
I know I sound embittered 
And resentful of my friends
But the picture gets distorted  
When green eyes look through the lens 

Ch 
Green eyes 
Are making me blue
Why, oh why, do I compare myself to you
Green eyes 
Are making me blue
I don’t even want to do the things you do
Green eyes, my green eyes
Green eyes are making me blue

Br 
Where did I get the idea
I should live my life like you
That what I want doesn’t matter
As much as what you do
I’ve been going about this wrong 
Shoulda seen it all along

Ch 
Green eyes are making me blue
Why, oh why, do I compare myself to you
Green eyes are making me blue
I don’t even want to do the things you do
Green eyes, my green eyes
Green eyes are making me blue

Green Eyes

'You Can't Follow Your Heart'
2022 David L. Graham/Vaughan Ray Daniel/David Gwyn Jones/Georgie Cooper
 
If you have big dreams you will find
You'll have to leave small things behind
And some of them may include love
When the one who loves you ain't enough
 
CHORUS
You can't follow your heart
Without breaking some, too
It's a hard pill to swallow
Although it is true
You're damned if you don't
And damned if you do
You can't follow your heart
Without breaking some, too
 
VERSE
Some may think you're selfish or proud
But that's not what it's all about
When you believe you can reach the stars
It means you need to be who you are.....still...
 
CHORUS
You can't follow your heart
Without breaking some, too
It's a hard pill to swallow
Although it is true
You're damned if you don't
And damned if you do
You can't follow your heart
Without breaking some, too
 
BRIDGE
So, just be the you you can be
and look to life and love for what you need
If you let your heart lead the way
You are destined to roam 'til you find your place...but
 
CHORUS
You can't follow your heart
Without breaking some, too
It's a hard pill to swallow
Although it is true
You're damned if you don't
And damned if you do
You can't follow your heart
Without breaking some, too

You Can't Follow Your Heart

I Make His Bed
David L. Graham/Vaughan Ray Daniel/David-Gwyn Jones/Georgie Cooper
 
For years I've heard the tales
Yeah, it never fails
Whenever he's late gettin' home
'cause there ain't no mistaken
He's got one for each occasion
It's time I let him know
That it's time for me to go
 
chorus:
I make his bed
He just lies in it
About where he's been and with who
But I know him well
And it's easy to tell
By the smell of her perfume
That's as close to the truth as I'll get
I make his bed
He just lies in it
 
All these years I've had to wait
While planning my escape
Now I'm ready to move on
I've got money and a car
That'll do for a start
I'll find someplace else to belong
He won't know until I'm gone
 
repeat chorus:
 
bridge:
Oh, now my story has been heard before
Women all over the world think it 
On their way out the door
From now on he sleeps in the bed he made
He can lie in it all he wants
I’m done, and I don’t have to say…
 
repeat chorus:

I Make His Bed

From A Flicker To A Flame
2023 Cooper Jones 
               
What is it with me                        
Why do I always fall
I’m a gambler it seems                                       
Push my chips to risk it all  
                            
Again my heart has wings                            
And it’s fluttering around                      
Lost in dang’rous dreams                                        
Fetch the net to bring it down

CHORUS
Oh here I go again 
From a flicker to a flame
Can’t seem to help myself
I know I am to blame

Something’s stirring up inside 
I’m not gonna let it die
It’s growing, getting bigger
From a flicker to a flame 
                
VERSE
My old heart leaps                          
It’s happy once again                      
With you around all day                          
My limits know no end 
                             
I see beauty in your soul                                 
It’s a gift I’ve always owned              
To find the best in someone is
Jane from Pride & Prejudice 

CHORUS
So here I go again 
From a flicker to a flame
Can’t seem to help myself
I know I am to blame

Something’s stirring up inside 
I’m not gonna let it die
It’s growing, getting bigger
From a flicker to a flame 

BRIDGE
My heart has been asleep
Dormant without a need 
All for crushes that crushed me
I locked and threw away the key 

CHORUS
So here I go again 
From a flicker to a flame
Can’t seem to help myself
I know I am to blame

Something’s stirring up inside 
I’m not gonna let it die
It’s growing, getting bigger
From a flicker to a flame 
It’s growin’ gettin’ bigger from a flicker to a flame

From A Flicker To A Flame

Her Quarry Never Gets Caught
2023 Georgie Cooper

VERSE
She wants to be in his arms at night
And in his thoughts by day
She has loved him in secret for a long while
But he doesn’t see her that way

VERSE 
He is wed to another though she treats him wrong
She thinks she’s the better for him
So the days come and go and the years tumble on
Her love light never grows dim


CHORUS
He is always on her mind
She longs to be his wife
It’s a long shot and she gives all she’s got
But her quarry never gets caught 


VERSE
She admires how he works from dusk to day’s end
When he’s tired he never complains 
She’s the one he comes to when he needs a friend 
Not the beauty but she has the brains

CHORUS
He is always on her mind
She longs to be his wife
It’s a long shot and she gives all she’s got
But her quarry never gets caught 

It’s a long shot and she gives all she’s got
But her quarry never gets caught

LA LA DOO LA LA DUM
2024 Georgie Cooper 

Ride a gale to the skies 
Stop overthinking asking why’s
I’m my own worst enemy 
when it’s me myself & I’s 

La la Doo la la dum 
La la doh la la dee
La la Doo la la dum 
La la doh la la day

I need a tidal wave 
To push me out these prison gates
And force decisions I can’t make
Coz normal ain’t my slice of cake 

La la Doo la la dum 
La la doh la la dee
La la Doo la la dum 
La la doh la la day

Oh give me an earthquake
A number on the Richter scale 
Buy excitement in a bottle
Out of first gear to full throttle 

La la Doo la la dum 
La la doh la la dee
La la Doo la la dum 
La la doh la la day

I’m so bored of being me 
I want a handsome fantasy 
To sweep me off of my idle feet 
This ain’t the life I wanna lead 

La la Doo la la dum 
La la doh la la dee
La la Doo la la dum 
La la doh la la day

Oh give me an earthquake
A number on the Richter scale 
Buy excitement in a bottle
Out of first gear to full throttle 

Be careful what you wish for 
You might just get it 
Be careful what you wish for 
You might just get it

LA LA DOO LA LA DUM (acoustic)

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

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

You better get here quick, and I don’t care how

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

CUT ME SOME SLACK 
2025 Cooper/Jones
 
VERSE
Need to put some space between us
Breathe some different air
I won’t take you to the cleaners
If you let me take my share
Gotta get my head together
Try and just move on
From all that stormy weather
So much to improve on
 
CHORUS
Oh, cut me some slack
Don’t wanna come back
Oh, cut me some slack
I’m all out of whack

VERSE
Need some time for healing
Without intensity
Hopefully, then revealing
More sensitivity
Forget those lame excuses
Not to reach for help yourself
Don’t stew in your own juices
Protect your mental health
 
CHORUS
Oh, cut me some slack
Don’t wanna come back
Oh, cut me some slack
I’m all out of whack
 
BRIDGE
Give me a break from all this mess
There’s no point in it going on
It just causes increased distress
When all what we had is gone
 
CHORUS
Oh, cut me some slack
Don’t wanna come back
Oh, cut me some slack
I’m all out of whack

Got no reason to feel fearful

OVERTHINKING IN C MINOR 
2025 Cooper Jones
 
There’ve been so many words I wrote
Better left unread
So many words I spoke
Better left unsaid

While I was looking for my exit strategy
To preserve my wellbeing and my sanity

But I had a change of heart
That’s “heart” in air quotes
Decided to delete 
All those messages and notes
 
Put it all down to late night drinking
And maybe me…just overthinking
 
There’ve been so many thoughts I had
Can’t text the feeling
Been so many times so sad
That left me reeling

I thought I wrote you out, shampoo for the soul
But when my eyes started stinging, I realised the toll
 
Put it all down to late night drinking
And maybe me…just overthinking
 
Crush hour traffic, before we broke
Thinking, ‘Dear John, that’s all she wrote’
Composing a chorus, but came unstuck
Have I got the wrong person, right hook
 
Put it all down to late night drinking
And maybe me…just overthinking
 
There’ve been so many words I wrote
Better left unread
So many words I spoke
Better left unsaid
 
Put it all down to late night drinking
And maybe me…just overthinking


Overthinking In C Minor

THIS DEMOLITION BALL 
2025 Cooper Jones
 
The way things are going are beyond belief
The powers that be barely respond, relief
The floods, the droughts and the hurricanes
The submergences and torrential rains
They’ll say, “There’s bigger fish to fry”
Or worse, just outright and deny
If they have kids or care at all
They’d do something now about
Do something ‘bout this demolition ball
(Ahhh) Do something ‘bout this demolition ball (Ahhh)
 
Short-term thinking just will not work
Future generations will go berserk
Blaming all the catastrophes to come
On playing deaf and playin’   dumb
They’ll say, “Let’s deal with here and now”
As if that’s a better plan somehow
But if they have kids or care at all
They’d do something now about
Do something ‘bout this demolition ball
(Ahhh) Do something ‘bout this demolition ball (Ahhh)

They’ll say “We can’t accommodate”
And spread lies that turn into hate
If they have kids or care at all
They’d do something now about
Do something ‘bout this demolition ball
(Ahhh) Do something ‘bout this demolition ball (Ahhh)
 
We were warned many years ago
By experts who were in the know
But their warnings got mainly ignored
And solutions mostly unexplored
Do something ‘bout this demolition ball
(Ahhh) Do something ‘bout this demolition ball (Ahhh)
 
The way things are going are beyond belief
The powers that be barely respond, relief
It may be too late for actions small
Better do something ‘bout this demolition ball

This Demolition Ball

WHEN A BAD DAY BECAME A GOOD NIGHT 
2025 Cooper Jones
All Rights Reserved

The dawn chorus woke me and the day began
As per usual, nothing really went to plan
I had all kinds of hopes for the hours ahead
But then I was disappointed instead
 
Things went downhill from there on in
I despaired at the direction the day had gone in
The post brought only bills and final demands
But no-one here seems to understand

But don’t worry, this is no sad, sorry tale
‘Cos the better angels, they did prevail
Just as the dark was replacing the light
Was when a bad day became a good night
 
I was waiting for some news, but it never came
‘bout my big idea, my only claim to fame
I was promised a decision before close of play
They weren’t impressed by what I had to say
 
Then to cap it all, my doctor called to say
I needed to make an appointment right away
I thought to hell with this, I’m going out tonight
See if I can put things right
 
So, don’t worry, this is no sad, sorry tale
‘Cos the better angels, they did prevail
Just as you emerged from the half-light
Was when a bad day became a good night
 
Yeah, don’t worry, this is no sad, sorry tale
‘Cos the better angels, they did prevail
For as you came into my full sight
Was when a bad day became a good night

When A Bad Day Became A Good Night

GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE 
2025 Cooper Jones
 
It’s a great day to be
A great day to be
It’s a great day to be…alive
It’s a great day to be
A great day to be
It’s a great day to be…alive
 
There’s an ocean of possibilities
Why not take a deep, deep dive
There’s an end to all hostilities
A great day to be alive
 
It’s a great day to be
A great day to be
It’s a great day to be…alive
It’s a great day to be
A great day to be
It’s a great day to be…alive
 
There’s a hope throughout humanity
Now each of us can thrive
There’s an end to all insanity
A great day to be alive
 
It’s a great day to be
A great day to be
It’s a great day to be…alive
It’s a great day to be
A great day to be
It’s a great day to be…alive
 
There’s a message spreading far and away
In the shared language of love
Singing, “We shall overcome someday”
Words that still inspire
 
It’s a great day to be
A great day to be
It’s a great day to be…alive
It’s a great day to be
A great day to be
It’s a great day to be…alive
 
It’s a great day to be
A great day to be
It’s a great day to be…alive
It’s a great day to be
A great day to be
It’s a great day to be…alive

Great Day To Be Alive

I WISH YOU WERE THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY 
2025 Cooper Jones
 
Like wet on water
My pleas have no effect
To keep exchanges shorter
You distract and you deflect
 
Gaslight me gently
To question my own mind
When there are plenty
Of times you were unkind
 
CHORUS
Of all the wishes
That I have every day
I wish you were, I wish you were
The one that got away
 
It’s not me, it’s still you
Not the other way around
You just can’t undo
All the times you’ve let me down
 
G.O.A.T
The greatest of all time
You named our love
But the words no longer rhyme
 
CHORUS
Of all the wishes
That I have every day
I wish you were, I wish you were
The one that got away
 
“Careful what you wish for”
I heard so many say
Oh, how I wish that you were
The one that got away
 
CHORUS
Of all the constant wishes
That I have every day
I wish you were, I wish you were
The one that got away

This would have hurt less 
if it mattered more
We had chemistry 
But with no formula

Should’ve cancelled us
While I had the chance
Patiently in a rush
Now you’re in the past

I Wish You Were The One That Got Away

VERSE, CHORUS, VICTORY
2025 Cooper Jones

You were all loud hooks and harmony
I was stuck in sad refrain
We crashed like clashing melodies
Then danced back into frame
There were moments out of rhythm
But we never missed the beat 
Even broken records
Find a way to sound complete

CHORUS
Verse, chorus, victory,
We’ve written every line
From the fights in minor key
To the love that still rewinds
We’re not perfect, we’re a playlist
Full of key changes and scars
But verse, chorus, victory
That’s exactly who we are

We’ve faded out and faded in
Lost tempo once or twice
Skipped a beat in every season
But made it sound nice
They said we wouldn’t make it
Just a flash in one-hit skies
But we wrote past the cliché
And we’re still harmonised

CHORUS
Verse, chorus, victory,
We’ve written every line
From the fights in minor key
To the love that still rewinds
We’re not perfect, we’re a playlist
Full of key changes and scars
But verse, chorus, victory,
That’s exactly who we are

Through midnight oil and coffee stains
We chased the perfect rhyme
With every scratch-out, every try
We found a little time
No spotlight needed, no applause
Just two souls side by side
Writing our own anthem,
In the soundtrack of our lives

BRIDGE
We’ve patched up broken bridges
With gaffer tape and grit
Two pens, one worn-out notebook
And dreams that we won’t quit

CHORUS
Verse, chorus, victory
We’ve written every line
From the fights in minor key
To the love that still rewinds
We’re not perfect, we’re a playlist
Full of key changes and scars
But verse, chorus, victory
That’s exactly who we are


Verse Chorus Victory

WE’RE STILL MAKING IT UP AS WE GO ALONG 
2025 Cooper/Jones

We’re still making it up as we go along
Every tune and lyric to every song
Getting it right more than we get it wrong
We’re still making it up as we go along
 
Verse, chorus, solo, bridge and rhyme
Ridiculous to the sublime
In complicated or simple time
Verse, chorus, solo, bridge and rhyme

On love or loss or laugh out loud
So many subject matters ploughed
I think we can be very proud
On love or loss or laugh out loud
 
We’re still making it up as we go along
Every tune and lyric to every song
Getting it right more than we get it wrong
We’re still making it up as we go along
 
The song after this one could be it
You never know, a great big hit
Either way, we’ll never quit
The song after this one could be it
 
We’re still making it up as we go along
Every tune and lyric to every song
Getting it right more than we get it wrong
We’re still making it up as we go along
 
Each emotion and every thought
And all those aspirations sought
Drive the muse and inspiration
Towards more musical creation
 
We’re still making it up as we go along
Every tune and lyric to every song
Getting it right more than we get it wrong
We’re still making it up as we go along


We're Still Making It Up As We Go Along

400 Ways To Say It 
2025 Cooper Jones 

I’ve got 400 ways to say it 
Just as many ways to show it 
I will keep on making more
To make sure that you know it 
And with every passing year
When we find we’re still here
I’ll remind you of
All my love, for you

I’ll write you poetry 
And you’ll know it’s from me
‘Cause within each line
I’ll describe only things
Known to you and I

Like how beautiful you are
When you’re on your phone
Lying on the sofa
Smiling at the screen 
How emotional you are
When you watch the news
And there’s nothing you can do
To help everyone

I’ve got 400 ways to say it 
Just as many ways to show it 
I will keep on making more
To make sure that you know it 
And with every passing year
When we find we’re still here
I’ll remind you of
All my love, for you

I’ll play melodies for you
With words you’ll know are true
And there’ll be some little clues
As to why I cherish you
 
Like how wonderful you are
At always keeping calm
Saying the right thing
And saving the day
How generous you are
With your time and your patience
If only there were more
Good people like you

You, You 
You bring out the magic
Of life spent with you in it
In every special moment 
and every joyful minute

I’ve got 400 ways to say it 
Just as many ways to show it 
I will keep on making more
To make sure that you know it 
And with every passing year
When we find we’re still here
I’ll remind you of
All my love, for you

And it’s also in my step

LETTER THAT I’LL NEVER SEND
(c) 2019 Georgie Cooper

VERSE
There’s so many things that I want to say
But I can’t say them to your face
So I’ll put it in a letter that I’ll never send
And you and I can go on and pretend

CHORUS
I can hide
behind my semi smile
I can lie
You’ll only see my sunny side

VERSE
This letter that I’m writing says so many things
I wouldn’t dare say in a million years
But it’s better this way matter of fact
And I won’t hold back in my attack

CHORUS
I can hide
behind my semi smile
I can lie
You’ll only see my sunny side

BRIDGE
(My sunny side my sunny side
Write a letter write a letter that I’ll never send)

CHORUS
I can hide
behind my semi smile
I can lie
You’ll only see my sunny side

Letter That I'll Never Send

FAMILY TIME

All Rights Reserved

VERSE
Christmas and birthdays
We’re busy and working 
Have to be here, gotta be there
Spinning our plates, pulling our hair 

VERSE
Social commitments
Local and/or business 
Punctual or late, whichever we may 
Early to rise, night or by day

CHORUS
Family time is the only time 
We don’t schedule, we take for granted 
Family time is the only time 
That’s neglected, we don’t plan it 
Oh family time...where do we find you

VERSE
Screening or streaming 
Reading social media 
Coz we’re always there, but never aware 
Texting hello from only upstairs 

CHORUS
Family time is the only time 
We don’t schedule, we take for granted 
Family time is the only time 
That’s neglected, we don’t plan it 
Oh family time...where do we find you

OUTRO
where do we find you
where do we find you
where do we find you

Family time is the only time
Family time is the only time
Family time is the only time
