So Much Better
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

Come join me here in hell
I can give you what you want
Things will not go well
They will go better than that

[bridge]

You can smell the sulfur burning
The stench of rot pervades
By the screams over the music
You know you are in hades

[chorus]
The party started long ago
Ever since it's go go go
The best people are always here
Some of them you're sure to know

The party started long ago
Ever since it's go go go
The best people are always here
Some of them you're sure to know

[instrumental]

Come join me here in hell
I can give you what you want
Things will not go well
They will go better than that

[bridge]

We tried to keep it secret
But the word spread and spread
You can come here when you want
You do not need to be dead

We had to add more rooms
You still need a reservation
But if you are bad enough
You don't need an invitation

[chorus]
The party started long ago
Ever since it's go go go
The best people are always here
Some of them you're sure to know

[instrumental]

The party started long ago
Ever since it's go go go
The best people are always here
Some of them you're sure to know

Come join me here in hell
I can give you what you want
Things will not go well

ooooohhhhhhhhhh

a lot better than that
so much better
so much better

Please Let Me Be Myself
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

I am tired of playing the game
My love was not about pretend
I don’t want for us to end
But things cannot stay the same

You are asking me to fake
something that I know is real
You don’t know how much it hurts
and the way it makes me feel

[chorus]
Please let me be myself
Take my love down from the shelf
Please let my life be true
I am always true to you

[guitar]

You are telling me to say
What I am saying anyway
What you want for me to tell
Is what I know so very well

I will tell you that I love you
Without any help from you
I will repeat these words forever
Something you need ask for never

[chorus]
Please let me be myself
Take my love down from the shelf
Please let my life be true
I am always true to you

[guitar]

I need to speak in my own words
Not some lines you may have heard
I need to tell you in the light
Not in some enchanted night

What I tell you is the truth
No need to fake the way I feel
No need to add the flashy lines
My love always has been real

[chorus]
Please let me be myself
Take my love down from the shelf
Please let my life be true
I am always true to you

[guitar]

[verse]
Please let me be myself
Please let my life be true
I am always true to you

Please let me be myself
I am always true to you

[guitar]

Please let me be myself
I am always true to you

Be Patient
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

We are a silly stupid people
We believe all our own lies
We tell ourselves that we're ok
While each day more children die

We are cowardly and lazy
We don't act at any cost
Our reactions surely crazy
We look like we are lost

We are a greedy nasty lot
We want all that we ain't got
We don't care how we get it
About the victims we forgot

[bridge]

But big changes coming soon
We can't all go to the moon
No more water no more food
No one standing where you stood

Just be patient, wait a bit
Watch TV, take one more hit
Just lay cozy in your bed
No one knows when they are dead

[instrumental]

But big changes coming soon
We can't all go to the moon
No more water no more food
No one standing where you stood

Just be patient, wait a bit
Watch TV, take one more hit
Just lay cozy in your bed
No one knows when they are dead

[instrumental]

I Love Madonna
(c) J. Murdock McInnes

[intro]

I took Madonna to a movie
we sat alone on the back row
She had other things in mind
and did not care about the show

She wanted to hold hands
But I did not understand
She was a famous movie star, and
I had never gone too far

[bridge]

I had to say Ok
I let her have her way
The lights all went away
And she began to play

I had a hard time keeping still
I felt other people watching
But she had a lot of skill
So I did not need a pill

[instrumental]

But she had a lot of skill
So I did not need a pill

She let me have her picture
She told me I was great
And left with a big laugh
I got her autograph

oooooooooohhhh

I took Madonna to a movie
I let her have her way
I am embarrassed to get up
So here I'll have to stay

Here I'll have to stay

[instrumental]

Looking for the Zombies
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

I'm am looking for The Zombies
I'm am looking for The Troggs
I'm not looking for a soul
Who's  played The Isle of Dogs

I am not looking for the big guns
The ones who made it rich
I'm not looking for the freaks
Or one more crazy bitch

[bridge]

When I think about The Zombies
whatever time whatever season
I have to hear she's not there
i tell her no, because I care

[instrumental] 

When my mind is filled with Troggs
Wild things come to the front
any way you want me,
a girl like you is what I want

If Kinks is what you like
I can play with with them all day
and all of the night, and on a sunny afternoon
till Lola comes to stay

[bridge]

Lola breaks the bank
and Wild Thing is in the tank
but i do not need a reason
to choose Time of the Season

The Zombies nailed that one down
I would see them one more time
If Mr Argent's back in town
You know that I am down

[instrumental]

The Zombies nailed that one down
I would see them one more time
If Mr Argent's back in town
You know that I am down

I Cannot Believe It
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

I cannot believe
That now, we are so near
I cannot believe
So why is it, that I fear

I say that I believe
But act as if I don't
I am just one soul
Does it matter if I won't

I think I know the answer
But rethink it once again
Every time I hope I'm wrong
Every time it is the same

[bridge]

I rely on simple logic
To think in the right way
To stack all of my facts
But  still, I fail to act

I know I have no choice
I refuse to hear my voice
I am frozen in my faith
In what? the human race?

Somehow there'll be an answer
Somewhere there is relief
Sometimes danger fades away
All we have to do is stay

But no, I don't believe it
I cannot even conceive it
We do not have the tools
That dream, it is for fools

[instrumental]

But no, I don't believe it
I cannot even conceive it
We do not have the tools
That dream, it is for fools

[instrumental]

I Cannot Believe

It Went By
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

I can't do it without you
I built my world around you
Life is not like before
I cannot live that way no more

It was ok when I met you
I knew I'd never forget you
We were always together
We never minded the weather

Our life was built around fun
You and me on the run
There was nothing to stop us
We could fly to the sun

[instrumental]

But we're older and wiser
I am tired of games
We have to work for a living
My old back ain't forgiving

I can't do it without you
I built my world around you
Life is not like before
I cannot live that way no more

I can't do it without you
I built my world around you
Life is not like before
I cannot live that way no more

[instrumental]

I know I'm asking a lot
Maybe more than you've got
But I need you at home
I can't do it alone

We have kids to take care of
We have a house to keep clean
I do all I can
But I'm not a machine

I can't do it without you
I built my world around you
Life is not like before
I cannot live that way no more

[instrumental]

I can't do it without you
I built my world around you
Life is not like before
I cannot live that way no more

[instrumental]

This Time Will Be the One
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

I saw you from the back
How could I forget that
I saw you walk away
There was so much I could say

I had to keep my mouth shut tight
We had already said it all
We had a fight all night last night
I was so high I can't recall

You told me something true
But I did not want to see it
I know that I screwed up
I know it's me that did it

[instrumental]

I know I said that I had quit
But I took just one more hit
I was hanging with the boys
They were giving me some shit

First thing to do is never see them
I know you never will forgive them
Without you I cannot do it
This ain't how life should be

I want you to come back
This time will be the one
You know I'm back on track
I've got it on the run

I want you to come back
This time will be the one

[instrumental]

I know I said that I had quit
But I took just one more hit
I was hanging with the boys
They were giving me some shit

First thing to do is never see them
I know you never will forgive them
Without you I cannot do it
This ain't how life should be

I want you to come back
This time will be the one
You know I'm back on track
I've got it on the run

I want you to come back
This time will be the one
You know I'm back on track
I've got it on the run

I want you to come back
This time will be the one

This time will be the one

This time will be the one

[instrumental]
