All songs written, performed, recorded and produced by Ian Starr.

I had no direction a heart lost in one long night,
When I see this beauty dancing through the misty morning light,
Bewitched, captivated, by a spell that has never faded,
She sings like a siren, hunts like Orion, like a Rembrandt she's perfectly painted.

(Nightshade)
I run into her wicked arms can't help the craving,
And I know that it's insane,
(Nightshade)
But her scent intoxicates and makes my heart race crazy,
And I'm never gonna be the same.

Nightshade, nightshade,
A primadona, belladonna, deadly nightshade,
Nightshade, nightshade,
My handicap, my honey trap, my deadly all night shade.

I am shaded, in her shadow I lie naked,
She's the thought in my brain, the pulse in my vein,
She's the one to rattle my chain.

(Nightshade)
Flower open, laced with poison, never jaded,
She beat the phoenix to the flames,
(Nightshade)
She eclipses all my dreams when all the light has faded,
She is by nature as by name.

Nightshade, nightshade,
A primadona, belladonna, deadly nightshade,
Nightshade, nightshade,
My handicap, my honey trap, my deadly all night shade.

(Nightshade)
I run into her wicked arms can't help the craving,
And I know that it's insane,
(Nightshade)
But her scent intoxicates and makes my heart race crazy,
And I'm never gonna be the same.

Nightshade, nightshade,
A primadona, belladonna, deadly nightshade,
Nightshade, nightshade,
My handicap, my honey trap, my deadly all night shade.
Nightshade, nightshade,
A primadona, belladonna, deadly nightshade,
Nightshade, deadly nightshade.

Nightshade

Burning Out

All songs written, performed, recorded and produced by Ian Starr.

Yes I'm losing my mind yes I'm losing my head,
Convinced that there's a monster living under my bed,
And the banging downstairs has got to be a poltergeist,
And the creaking floor a burglar heist.

Shake me, wake me, turn on the light,
I get the funniest feeling when things go bump in the night,
Shake me, wake me, tell me it's alright,
I get the funniest feeling when things go bump, bump, bump in the...

Night, go bump in the night,
Go bump in the night, 
Go bump in the night,
Don't give me a fright now baby, woohoo.

The dark dumbs the wits and so the mind plays tricks oh yeah.

Have you ever had that dream where you're falling from a real big height,
And folklore states you should wake before you hit the ground or you'll die,
Or that dream where you scream but no noise leaves your mouth,
And then to top it all, all your teeth fall out.

Shake me, wake me, turn on the light,
I get the funniest feeling when things go bump in the night,
Shake me, wake me, tell me it's alright,
I get the funniest feeling when things go bump, bump, bump in the...

Night, go bump in the night,
Go bump in the night, 
Go bump in the night,
Don't give me a fright now baby, woohoo.

Wake me, shake me, wake me, shake me,
Turn on the light when things go bump, bump, bump in the...

Night, go bump in the night,
Go bump in the night, 
Go bump in the night,
Don't give me a fright now baby, woohoo.

Night, go bump in the night,
Don't give me a fright now baby,
Night, go bump in the night, 
Don't gimme the, gimme the, ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga goo-goo-goo goosebumps.

Bump!

All songs written, performed, recorded and produced by Ian Starr.

Like when Rutherford first split the atom there's a fission in your mind you must fathom,
Learn to nurture nature in your favour become your own personal saviour,
Gather your wits and get a grip of your shit,

Let the POWER build up inside and take you for a ride,
Let the POWER build up inside you don't need wings to fly.

Pheidippides ran from Marathon every step a little closer to his swan song,
So put your best foot forward and run cause on the wind you're riding shotgun,
Gather your wits and get a grip of your shit,

Let the POWER build up inside and take you for a ride,
Let the POWER build up inside you don't need wings to fly,
You don't need wings to fly...

The Power

All songs written, performed, recorded and produced by Ian Starr.

America where did it go wrong you're dying on the centre stage,
Trump in office only cares about the profits from the money that his rich pappa made,
And so the Stars and Stripes build more oil pipes as the climate crisis escalates,
But it's not too late don't seal our children's fate won't you lead us in a golden age,
I betcha they never will,
I betcha they never will,
Cause they got more money than they got sense,
Need to trade oil dollars for repentance,
From Prudhoe Bay to Bartlesville,
But I betcha they never will.

America put your weapons down to bear arms is a right not a rule,
You should draw a line when with a carbine kids are killing other kids at school,
The founding fathers didn't write the charters for a trigger-happy nation of fear,
So what do you do when the world still looks to you - you choose a handshake over a spear?
I betcha they never will,
I betcha they never will,
"With a .38 special is God we trust" time to trade ballistic rounds for a narwhal tusk,
From LA to Jacksonville,
But I betcha they never...

In a '67 Chevy on the open road with Billy Joel blasting out on the radio,
There's potential in America's dream a dichotomy of sorts,
Call it Impeaches & Cream.

I betcha they never will,
I betcha they never will,
I betcha they never will,
I betcha they never will,
Will they stop another term of the GOP that makes the Boston Tea Party look like a tea party,
From the Whitehouse to Capital Hill,
I betcha they never will...

I Betcha (Impeaches & Cream)

Livin' Life My Way

All songs written, performed, recorded and produced by Ian Starr.

Twinkle twinkle our little star and take the time to find out who you are,
Through the good times bad times and all in between we'll always love you son your mama and me.

My son, my son, your story your journey has only just begun as I sing,
My son, my son, you're more than just a twinkle in your daddy's eye you're a nebula of hope where stars are born unto the sky.

I hope you find the world to be kind and just like me sleep finds you easily,
Some you'll win some you'll lose but what matters you get to choose,
Just strive to be kind with an open mind is what your grandma taught me.

My son, my son, your story your journey has only just begun as I sing,
My son, my son, you're more than just a twinkle in your daddy's eye you're a nebula of hope where stars are born unto the sky.

I'll be proud of you and all the things you'll learn to do and I wanted to hold you from the moment I saw you,
You'll have so much fun running circles round me and your mum and I want to thank you for seeing me through all the dark days of my life.

My son, my son, your story your journey has only just begun as I sing,
My son, my son, you're more than just a twinkle in your daddy's eye you're a nebula of hope where stars are born unto the sky.
My son, my son, your hell-raising trail-blazing days have only just begun as I sing,
My son, my son, you're the fruit of our love the apple of my eye there's no way I could love you more even if I try.

My Son

Darkest Hour

All songs written, performed, recorded and produced by Ian Starr.

We're getting mucky, getting mucky now cause we've been diggin' around in this common ground,
As we navigate this world of troubles will we rise up above it stop it bursting our bubble?
Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea trapped in a lifetime together to avoid misery,
But how well do we really know one another what might we unearth what might we discover?

She says "We will be together always and forever, believe me",
She says "We will be together always and forever".

Forty-one going on twenty-one an emotionally compromised son of a gun,
No idea of who we are or what we're seeking making promises that we've no intention of keeping,
Straight from the wedding breakfast to therapy cause you can't force something to work if it was not meant to be,
A maxed out credit card and three marriages later the love of your life a liar and traitor.

He says "Baby it is true I've only eyes for you, believe me",
He says "Baby it is true I've only eyes for you, believe me, just baby believe".

I can't believe,
I won't believe (I see through your lies),
I can't believe,
I won't believe we'll be together always and forever.

She says "We will be together always and forever, believe me",
He says "Baby it is true I've only eyes for you, believe me",
She says "We will be together always and forever, believe me",
He says "Baby it is true I've only eyes for you, depending on the cost there won't be love lost, when I said the words 'I do' I was serious as you",
Believe me,
Just baby believe me,
Just baby belive me,
Just baby believe... me.

Believe Me
