Forgotten
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

I knew that I had loved you
and that you had once been here
but today I have forgotten
I no longer feel you near

I knew that I had loved you
and that you had once been here
but today I have forgotten
I no longer feel you near

I see the photographs
on the tables and the walls
They show me something lost
It's been forever since the fall

The are places I don't go
I leave our room and close the door
I can not bear to see
The things that you once wore

[piano solo]

I knew that I had loved you
and that you had once been here
but today I have forgotten
I no longer feel you near

In the yard you planted flowers
Nothing looks now like before
You could be out there for hours
I can't step outside the door

Your memory will trick you
You can remember what you want
But some thoughts come unwanted
You'd forget them but you can't

I don't want to think about you
I want to leave our life behind
But every thing around me
Keeps you forever in my mind

[outro]

I don't want to think about you
I want to leave our life behind

[accordion solo]

I don't want to think about you
I want to leave our life behind

I don't want to think about you

I don't want to think about you

A Winter of Revenge
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

Winter is coming
And the end is on my mind
I no longer hope for change
I no longer see a future
Little left but make them pay
I have my sights set on revenge

It's no use to march and sing
It's no use to collect cans
These are games for the deluded
If you believe in fairy tales
If you hope to save the whales
Know that I am not included

Over years of wanton slaughter
and centuries of waste
We have marched across this world
Always counting there'd be more
bent on growing ever larger
But it's time to check the score

[instrumental]

Things did not go as planned
We will not live on Mars
Or ever fly to shining stars
We are creatures of the ground
and depend upon the sea
That is all we'll ever be

Winter is coming
And the end is on my mind
I no longer hope for change
I no longer see a future
Little left but make them pay
I have my sights set on revenge

Winter is coming
And the end is on my mind

I have my sights set on revenge

I have my sights set on revenge

A Winter of Revenge

One in Five
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

To kill or suicide
every day, crosses my mind
To go or stay behind
and have we all run out of time?

[instrumental]

I don't have any solutions
and no patience for deep thought
I want something to be done
strike the iron while it's hot

We can't wait for one more reason
One more careless vicious act
One more show of feckless treason
And more twisting of the facts

[chorus]
To kill or suicide
every day, crosses my mind
To go or stay behind
and have we all run out of time?

[instrumental]

It's insane we let this go
Is there something we don't know?
I can't believe we keep our seats
we are not burning down the streets

Yes they have the guns
and soldiers bred to have no conscience
But it is us who have the numbers
and have now run out of patience

[chorus]
To kill or suicide
every day, crosses my mind
To go or stay behind
and have we all run out of time?

[instrumental][02:48]

Jimmy said it long ago
Five to one and one in five
It is time they pay the price
Don't let one come out alive

The odds have gotten worse
If we wait they won't get better
It is time to go right now
It is time to go right now

Five to one 
one in five
It is time they pay the price
Don't let one 
come out alive

Five to one 
one in five

Five to one 
one in five

Nothing's Wrong
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[piano solo]

Someone told me he was gone
I kept on sleeping on my own
He was gone and I kept on
Pretending nothing's wrong

He was moving out of town
never see him once again
I could go anywhere I wanted
I would never feel the pain

All the places where we shopped
all the corners where we stopped
I could go there every day
I was bound to be OK

[instrumental] 

I could step on all the cracks
I could look at the black cats
He was never coming back
I could wear my silly hats

All the places where we shopped
all the corners where we stopped
I could go there every day
I was bound to be OK

[instrumental]

I am feeling really good
I am going out to eat
I will have another treat
I don't fit into my seat

Everyone we used to know
I don't call them anymore
I don't want to hear their voice
Their sad tones are just a bore

I can dance at home alone
I can listen to those songs
I can stay up all night long
Pretending nothing's wrong

[instrumental]

I could step on all the cracks
I could look at the black cats
He was never coming back
I could wear my silly hats

I can dance at home alone
I can listen to those songs
I can stay up all night long
Pretending nothing's wrong

Nothing's wrong
oooh noooo
Nothing's wrong

Nothing's Wrong (AS2)

No Good Reason
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

[verse]
What I did for no good reason
I still regret it to this day
I got caught up in the game
I am the only one to blame

[verse]
Of the mistakes that I could make
this is the one that takes the cake
of the many things I've done
this is always the worst one

[verse]
Not all things can be undone
I will live with them forever
He could have been the one
I have learnt to live with never

[instrumental]

[verse]
I was not thinking of a future
I was ignoring what I had
I was not thinking much at all
The decision was just bad

[verse]
I should have begged for Him to stay
It seems to me so very sad
But I saw Him yesterday 
And He seems to be Ok, just ok

[verse]
I have never gotten over it
I wish I could forget
But I guess I don't deserve that
All that's left is dull regret

[instrumental]

[verse]
I have never gotten over it
I wish I could forget
But I guess I don't deserve that
All that's left is dull regret

[verse]
Not all things can be undone
I will live with them forever
He could have been the one
I have learnt to live with never

[instrumental]

[verse]
Not all things can be undone
I will live with them forever
He could have been the one
I have learnt to live with never


He could have been the one
Not all things can be undone

He could have been the one
I have learnt to live with never

He could have been the one

He could have been the one

Saw You Going By 
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

[verse]
I saw you walking slowly
you were going past that store
the one where we would wait
but it ain't there anymore

[verse]
Back then we would enter
we would look at random stuff
we never would buy any
together was enough

[verse]
I wanted to call out
to race across the street
You could not hear my shout
It never left my lips

[verse]
I followed you in silence
to the house that we now share
I let you close the door
before coming up the stairs

[verse]
I could not bare your face
I cannot stand your voice
I have heard it all before
I have no other choice

[verse]
I know what's in your eyes
I know what you will say
I will lay down on our bed
You will always turn away

[verse]
I could not bare your face
I cannot stand your voice
I have heard it all before
I have no other choice

[verse]
I know what's in your eyes
I know what you will say
I will lay down on our bed
You will always turn away

[instrumental]


[verse]
Why do you stay here by my side
What do you have to hide
If you want to go away
Just turn your face to me and say

[verse]
What do you think I'll do?
I will cry and plead with you
I will beg and tell you lies
I will say that I will die

But if you want to go away
Just turn your face to me and say

[verse]
What do you think I'll do?
I will cry and plead with you
I will beg and tell you lies
I will say that I will die

I will say that I will die

I will die

Saw You Going By (AS)

I write the lyrics; Mr. Alfonso Suno composes the music.  Working with the lovely Ms. Ai Ongaku, they create the arrangements.  Ms. Ongaku and her crowd are responsible for the performances.  My part in creating these tracks is very small. Nonetheless, I am to blame.  Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
