Come and Live With Me (B)
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[verse]
The anxiety of being 
and not wanting to be seen
To be seen in the right light
to get every last word right

[verse]
The anxiety of knowing
that your differences are showing
That others look the same
and that you don't know the game

[verse]
The fear when you notice
everyone looking at you
The fear that they are not
That they are all looking right-through

[instrumental]

[verse]
You try to compensate
You speak a bit too loud
You eat those things you hate
And worry about your weight

[verse]
You tell a joke and no one laughs
Your lines run on to paragraphs
You dance a bit too wild
For no reason, the big smile

[verse]
You turn and look around
And think that you have found a friend
They return a puzzled look
You look away and pretend

[instrumental]

[verse]
This is always how it goes
Your anxiety, it shows
You are dying to go home
And afraid to be alone

[verse]
You should come and live with me
I'll be there and care for you
Someone you will never see
Some one who feels the same way too

[instrumental]

[verse]
You should come and live with me
I'll be there and care for you
Someone you will never see
Some one who feels the same way too

[outro]
You should come and live with me
Someone only you can see

Someone only you can see

[instrumental]

Come and Live With Me

These Feelings (E)
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[verse]
These feelings they come
and stay around till three
What feelings are these
They can't be good for me

[verse]
They don't let me work
I am moving along
Then I'm crying non-stop
Just because of a song

[verse]
They don't let me sleep
I am lying in bed
I will laugh like a hound
Like I'm out of my head

[chorus]
Feelings, nothing more than feelings
A line that's been around
A line I would forget
But takes me to the ground

[instrumental]

[verse]
I want to have connection
To show who I am
But the way that I feel
I don't think that I can

[verse]
These feelings don't care
They don't leave me alone
These feelings I share
and my friends all get scared

[verse]
These feeling should go
I don't want them around
These feelings too deep
They should never be found

[chorus]
Feelings, nothing more than feelings
A line that's been around
A line I would forget
But takes me to the ground

[instrumental]

[Outro]
I have to give them up
These feelings are too much
But I need to hold them close
Feelings I can touch

Feelings, nothing more than feelings
A line that's been around
A line I would forget
But takes me to the ground

[instrumental]

[intro]

[verse]
My suit is so much better
My briefcase made of leather
My hair is always perfect
I look great in any weather

[verse]
This is the way it has to be
You need to get what you pay for
If you see me looking better
You know I'll ask for more

[instrumental]

[verse]
I fly in and waste your time
I don't care, you'll pay for mine
I tell you what to do
I will be gone before you're through

[verse]
I really do have a few skills
But they are not what you think,
I come in when there's no hope
And pull you from the brink

[verse]
It does not happen 'cause I know
That part is only just for show
I will ask you what to do
Put it in a box, and sell it back to you

[chorus]
It's all your fault
That much is clear
It's never mine
I was not here

[instrumental]

[verse]
I'll take you out to lunch
You won't find it in my bill
It is buried in the chatter
I do it with such skill

[verse]
I will stay in the best room
Meet you for drinks at eight
I will take important calls
And you will have to wait

[verse]
Your boss told you to do this
You did not have a voice
Be careful what you say
I'll repeat it, it's my choice

[chorus]
It's all your fault
That much is clear
It's never mine
I was not here

[instrumental]

[verse]
I will return this time next year
Though you may not be here
I did not recommend you
It was your fault, I made it clear

It's all your fault
That much is clear
It's never mine
I was not here

[instrumental]

Death a Go Go
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[verse]
I am sure that we are dying
But the question is the when
It is the when and then the how
I need to know these things 
I need to know right now

[verse]
I am sure that we are dying
But will we die while we're still trying
Will we live right to the end
Or hang there for our friends
A death that never ends

[chorus]
Is it coming by surprise
Is death around the bend
Will it offer compromise
Are there wrongs that I can mend

[instrumental]

[verse]
If I knew it was tomorrow
I'd have no time for any sorrow
I would barely need to pack
Just grab a coat 
and take a snack

[verse]
If I knew it was a year
That gives plenty room for fear
Not too far and not too near
It's time to go, 
I'll grab my gear

[bridge]

[verse]
But if it was longer than that
Such things I can ignore
I have lots of time to go
I'll take another nap
And waste a little more

[chorus]
Is it coming by surprise
Is death around the bend
Will it offer compromise
Are there wrongs that I can mend

[instrumental]

[outro]
Since I have no way to know
I can make a bit more dough
I'll take another bow
I don't have to go right now

Since I have no way to know
I'll just get on with the show

I'll just get on with the show

I'll just get on with the show

[instrumental]

A Long Long Day
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

It has been a long long day
Spent outside, I feel Ok
In the sun, I had such fun
Me and Elmer on the run

He looks at me with his sad eyes
I smile back and tell him lies
He does not get a word I say
He just wants to go and play

[bridge]

I can go back, it is still warm
I am his friend, keep him from harm

Well take another turn around the park
We may not leave, not until dark

[instrumental]

It has been a long long day

In the sun, I had such fun
Me and Elmer on the run

[bridge]

I can go back, it is still warm

We may not leave, not until dark

A Long Long Day

Sleeping
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[verse]
Sleeping, with the sun low in the sky
Dozing, letting everyone go by
We can let our problems go away
We can live another day

[verse]
Talking, sharing all our dreams
Walking, seeing what we have not seen
Together, we will make a brand new plan
A life for all, not just for some

[bridge]

[verse]
This life has gotten much too hard
Let's go work out in the yard
Bring some music, let it play
Call our friends, tell them to stay

[instrumental]

[verse]
Hoping, looking for a way
Crying, wishing we had cared 
We can try and reach the shore
We can be better than before

[verse]
Together, we can do what must be done
Forever, we must learn to be as one
We need to stand and lead the way
We need to go, we cannot stay

[bridge]

[verse]
This life has gotten much too hard
Let's go work out in the yard
Bring some music, let it play
Call our friends, tell them to stay

[instrumental]

[verse]
Sleeping, with the sun low in the sky
Dozing, letting everyone go by
We can let our problems go away
We can live another day

[instrumental]
